COVER Timberworks brings design-driven craftsmanship to the heart of Texas. Austin homeowners trust us for structures that elevate outdoor entertainment and relaxation. From Zilker to Lakeway, we build custom pergolas, modern pavilions, and stunning hybrid structures that capture Austin’s creative energy.
Our team in Austin specializes in blending rustic charm with modern design, perfect for homeowners looking to enhance their space with a unique and functional addition. Whether you’re nestled in the Hill Country or closer to the city, we bring your outdoor dreams to life with style and precision.
At COVER Timberworks, we design and build custom timber frame pergolas and pavilions in Austin that bring refined comfort to your outdoor spaces. Crafted with architectural precision and hand-finished detail, our structures are made to complement the Hill Country landscape and modern Austin lifestyle.
From Round Rock to Dripping Springs, homeowners and architects across the Austin area trust COVER to deliver high-quality outdoor structures that are both beautiful and built to last. Our process is clear, efficient, and tailored to your goals.
An open timber frame pergola is the most requested addition for Austin backyards built around a pool or outdoor kitchen, since it shades the seating area without blocking the breeze the way a solid roof would. Every pergola we build for Austin, Round Rock, and Lakeway homeowners is fabricated off-site on our CNC line, so installation on your property typically takes a matter of hours rather than weeks.
When a family wants full protection from Central Texas sun and the occasional downpour, a roofed timber pavilion is the better fit. Our Austin area pavilions are engineered with the same mortise and tenon joinery used across our product line, no exposed metal plates or brackets holding the frame together, and most HOA committees in communities like Georgetown and Liberty Hill approve the stamped drawings we provide without delay.
Beyond residential backyards, we build commercial timber shade structures for HOA amenity centers, apartment courtyards, and restaurant patios across the Austin metro. The same off-site fabrication that gets a homeowner pergola installed in an afternoon lets a commercial property keep its outdoor space open to residents or guests during construction.
Every COVER structure is cut on our CNC line, fabricated off site, and installed in your backyard in a matter of hours. Here is recent work in and around Austin.
“The pavilion is a work of art. The construction method and assembly was very professional. The joinery is old school, leaving it very solid, and should last for many years.”

Traditional backyard carpentry just cannot compare to COVER Timberworks. From beginning to end, our process is efficient, easy and clean, and it takes less than half the amount of time to produce and complete one of our beautifully designed, high-quality structures.
It depends on the structure and where you sit. Freestanding open pergolas under a certain footprint often fall outside permit requirements inside Austin city limits, while roofed pavilions, anything attached to the house, and anything with electrical almost always require one. Suburbs like Georgetown, Round Rock, and Cedar Park each set their own thresholds. We tell you which category your project lands in before you sign anything, and we provide sealed engineered plans on request when a jurisdiction asks for them.
On-site installation typically takes as little as four hours. That is possible because the fabrication, sanding, and staining all happen off-site in our controlled warehouse on a CNC saw system. Your yard is not a job site for weeks. From signed agreement through installation, most Austin area projects run several weeks, with the bulk of that time in drawings, approval, and production rather than work at your home.
In most Austin area neighborhoods, yes. HOA architectural committees generally want to see dimensions, materials, stain color, and placement on the lot. The structural drawings we prepare after your agreement cover exactly that, and homeowners routinely submit them directly to their HOA. Submit for approval before production begins so the timeline stays clean.
Cost depends on span, timber species, roof type, and finish. We use menu-based pricing on a modular system, so you see what each decision adds before you commit rather than waiting on a mystery bid. Tell us your size and structure type and we will put a written estimate in front of you quickly.
