At 16 by 20 feet, this pavilion is built around one idea: bring everyone together and still have room to spare. 320 square feet covers a full dining setup, a separate lounge area, and enough open space that the whole layout never feels tight.
This is the size for the family that hosts often, not just on holidays. Cookouts, game nights, birthday parties that spill past the guest list you planned for, this pavilion has the room to absorb it without anyone standing in the yard.

Read the cypress guide →A pavilion this size stops asking how many people can fit and starts asking what else you want to add. Heavy timber joinery, a real roofline, and enough square footage that entertaining stops being a tight squeeze.
