Pavilion Materials
Custom Vinyl, Composite, or Wood Pavilions
Berlin Gardens Pavilions are constructed from Wood, Vinyl, or Composite, each offering distinct advantages to match your style and maintenance preferences.
-
Custom Wood Pavilions (Breckenridge, Cascade, Hampton, Mesa, Prairie)
Wood offers a warm, timeless look that blends naturally into outdoor spaces. These pavilions can be stained or painted to complement your home, though they do require periodic maintenance to preserve their beauty. - We use southern treated pine and untreated cedar.
-
Vinyl Pavilions (Victoria)
Vinyl is the perfect choice if you prefer a low-maintenance option. The Victoria pavilion combines durability and weather resistance with a crisp, modern appearance. It won’t rot, fade, or need repainting, making it an easy-care investment. -
Composite Pavilions (Wellington)
Available exclusively in the Wellington model, composite materials deliver a balance of beauty and strength. They mimic the natural look of wood while offering enhanced resistance to fading, warping, and insects.
