At 12 by 12 feet, The Cornerstone steps up from a quiet corner retreat into a real gathering spot. 144 square feet of pavilion is enough room for a full outdoor seating group, a dining table for four to six, or a mix of both without anyone feeling boxed in.
It is the size that anchors a backyard. Not so large that it overwhelms the yard, not so small that you outgrow it the first summer. Just enough structure to build the rest of your outdoor space around.
