Notched stands out for its authentic timber craftsmanship. Unlike lightweight constructions, we use traditional joinery and premium materials to create durable, heirloom-quality structures. Plus, we collaborate with you to design a structure that perfectly complements your space.

Absolutely. We encourage it. Peace of mind is a huge priority for us. A quick conversation with our team can help answer questions and give you a better sense of what’s possible for your space.

The easiest way is to request a quote or schedule a consultation. From there we can talk through your ideas and help you take the next step.

Yes! Our designers are itching to make custom structures to better fit your space. That might include different sizes, timber packages, stains, or roofing options.

That’s exactly what our design consultations are for. We’ll talk about your yard, how you plan to use the space, and the look you want to achieve. From there we can recommend a structure that fits well.

Yes. This is another specialty of ours. We provide a 3D rendering for every custom project, so you can clearly see how the structure will look before anything is built.

Most kits online use thin lumber, metal brackets, and decorative pieces that are not built to last very long. Our structures are built from real structural timber. The posts, beams, and joinery are designed the same way traditional timber frame buildings have been built for generations. It costs more up front, but you end up with something far stronger, more beautiful, and built to last. That’s why we back up every structure with a 25 year warranty. Though, they’re built to last a lifetime.

For many homeowners, it absolutely is. A well-built outdoor structure essentially extends the footprint of your home. It creates a place for gatherings, relaxing evenings, and everyday life outside. It adds lasting character and huge value to your property.

Every project is a little different depending on size, materials, and design. Some of our smaller DIY kits are very approachable, while larger custom structures are a bigger investment. The best way to get an accurate number is to request a quote and talk with our team about what you have in mind.

Easily. A well-designed outdoor living space can make a property more appealing and more functional. Many homeowners tell us it becomes one of their favorite parts of the house.

Sometimes, but not always. Permit requirements vary by city and county. In Utah, Arizona, and California there are many cases where smaller structures fall below the permit threshold. We are very familiar with permit requirements and can help you figure out what size structure can fit in your space.

If your neighborhood has an HOA, they may have guidelines about structures, colors, or placement. Most homeowners simply submit the design for approval before building. We can certainly help with that process.

Yes. While every city has its own regulations, we work with homeowners across Utah, Arizona, and California and are familiar with the general requirements. We’ve worked in these areas long enough to know pretty well what’s allowed and what isn’t. We’re more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Many of our DIY kits are designed specifically for homeowners who enjoy building projects. The parts are precision cut and the instructions are straightforward. Some of our larger structures are better suited for a contractor. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you decide what makes the most sense.

Most homeowners describe it as a manageable project if you have basic tools and some building experience. The pieces fit together the way they are meant to, which makes the process much smoother than building something from scratch. We do suggest having at least two people on hand to get the timber in place.

It depends on the size of the structure and the experience of the installer. Smaller kits may take as little as a couple hours (especially if a professional is on hand to help). Larger structures may take up to a week or more. A contractor can usually complete installation faster.

You’re not on your own. Our team is always happy to answer questions. We want the process to go smoothly and we’re here to help if you need guidance along the way. Happy to jump on a video call anytime. Just reach out!

We use high quality Douglas Fir timbers. It is strong, durable, and widely used in traditional timber framing. When we mill our timbers, we cut them close to the heart of the tree. This part of the wood is naturally more stable, which helps reduce twisting and movement over time. The result is a stronger structure that holds its shape better and lasts longer.

All real timber develops small natural cracks called checking. This is completely normal and does not affect the strength of the structure. Many people actually love the character it adds. Regardless, these minor changes shouldn’t affect the structure itself. That’s why we back up every structure with a 25 year structural warranty.

With proper installation and basic maintenance (we provide guidelines and optional assistance after installation), a timber structure can last for decades. These are not temporary backyard pieces. They are built to be a lasting part of your home.

Maintaining your Notched structure is straightforward. A quick clean and occasional re-staining, based on your local climate and sun exposure, will keep it looking great for years.

Yes. We ship structures throughout the western United States and beyond. Many of our customers are located in Utah, Arizona, and California. We’ve shipped all the way to the east coast in some cases. There may be some added shipping costs, but that’s something we can discuss upfront, so there are no surprises.

Your structure is delivered by freight directly to your driveway or curb. Because these are large timber packages, they are shipped on pallets rather than standard parcel delivery.

Of course, if we’re installing the structure for you, we’ll bring it and install it right then and there.

While this is rare, shipping can sometimes be rough. If something arrives damaged, let us know right away and we will work with you to resolve it.
