A Chinese wooden pavilion (ting, ) is more than a shaded resting spot – it is an architectural statement rooted in over 2,000 years of history. Unlike modern metal gazebos or concrete structures, a handcrafted timber pavilion brings warmth, cultural depth, and visual harmony to any landscape. The Song Dynasty building manual Yingzao Fashi () codified the precise proportions and bracket systems used in classical Chinese timber architecture – principles we still follow today when designing each custom pavilion.

Our workshop in Chongqing has been crafting traditional wooden structures for over four decades. Each pavilion begins with carefully selected timber, which is kiln-dried to a moisture content of 12–15% to prevent warping and cracking. The wood is then treated with eco-friendly preservatives that offer protection against termites and rot for decades.
Our carpenters – many with 20–30 years of experience – cut every mortise and tenon joint by hand, following patterns passed down through generations. Dougong bracket sets are assembled layer by layer, exactly as described in classical texts. The result is a structure that is not only visually stunning but also engineered to perform: the interlocking joints allow subtle movement during temperature changes and ground shifts, preventing the stress fractures common in nailed or bolted structures.
Our wooden pavilions are versatile and suited to many settings:
We ship worldwide from our factory in Chongqing. For Hefei and other domestic destinations, we offer door-to-door trucking with professional packaging. International orders are packed in FCL or LCL containers, with each component carefully wrapped and numbered to prevent damage and simplify assembly.
Most pavilions are designed for DIY assembly: components come pre-drilled and numbered, and you receive a detailed manual plus a video link. A standard garden pavilion can typically be assembled by two people in 2–4 days using basic tools (wrenches, rubber mallet). For larger or more complex structures, our professional installation team can travel to your site.
Pricing depends on size, wood species, complexity of carvings, and finish. A standard 3–4m hexagonal pavilion in Chinese fir typically ranges from USD 8,000 to USD 20,000 FOB. Larger or premium teak pavilions cost more. Contact us with your requirements for an exact quotation within 24 hours.
Production typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. Shipping to Hefei by truck takes about 2–3 days. International container shipping takes 2–6 weeks depending on destination.
Absolutely. We regularly create custom designs based on client sketches, architectural drawings, or reference photos. Our team can also advise on historically accurate styles and proportions for your region or project theme.
For humid, rainy climates we recommend kiln-dried Chinese fir or Masson pine treated with our deep-penetration preservative. For premium projects, teak is the gold standard due to its natural oils and extreme durability. All our wood is treated to withstand moisture, termites, and fungal decay.
Yes. For domestic projects, our professional installation team can travel to your site. For international clients, we provide detailed assembly guides, video tutorials, and live video-call support. Many overseas customers successfully assemble our pavilions with local contractors.
We provide a 10-year structural warranty covering material defects and joinery integrity. Our customer service team responds to all inquiries within 24 hours.
