Pergola Kits & Custom Builds

Transform your outdoor space with a custom pergola from Tidewater Lumber and Moulding. We offer pre-cut Cypress pergola kits that include everything you need to build a beautiful, lasting structure — vertical timbers, girts, rafters, radius brackets, and bolts. Each kit is precision-cut and ready to install, so with just a helper, you can have your pergola standing in just a few hours. Prefer a more custom approach? We also supply high-quality cypress timbers and hardware for DIY builds. Explore the gallery below to see how our customers have turned these kits into stunning backyard retreats.

what is a pavilion?

A pavilion is a freestanding outdoor structure designed to provide shelter, shade, and architectural interest to backyards, parks, or gathering spaces. Built with a solid roof and supported by exposed beams or columns, pavilions are ideal for outdoor kitchens, lounge areas, wedding venues, or event spaces. Unlike pergolas, which offer partial shade, pavilions provide full overhead coverage, making them a practical choice for year-round use. At Tidewater Lumber, our premium timbers and beams are a perfect match for building custom pavilions—whether you’re designing something rustic, modern, or traditionally crafted. With structural-grade wood and customization options, we make it easy to bring your vision to life.

Post bases + engineering for Post Bases

At Tidewater Lumber, we don’t just supply high-quality timbers and beams—we provide the critical components needed to bring your structure to life with confidence. That includes metal post bases, designed to securely anchor your vertical timbers while ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Our team offers custom-cut metal T-post brackets tailored to your project’s exact dimensions and load requirements. Whether you’re building a pavilion, pergola, or timber frame structure, we can supply engineered post bases along with structural documentation if needed—giving you peace of mind that your build meets performance and code standards.

This value-added service is ideal for contractors, architects, and DIYers who want the job done right from the ground up. Just let us know your specs, and we’ll cut and supply the brackets that set your project on a solid foundation.
