Transform your outdoor space with a DIY Pavilion Smokehouse! π‘
In this build, I walk through the entire project step by step β cedar-tone 6Γ6 posts, 2Γ8 perimeter framing, 2Γ6 rafters with 2Γ4 purlins, and a 6/12 main roof (plus a 2/12 rear shed) finished in metal. You'll see how I planned it in SketchUp, set a durable paver base, added gutters with rain chains, ran two electrical circuits for lights/fan/TV, and dialed in smart controls.
I also cover real numbers: pavers (~$3,400), lumber (~$1,800), roof + gutters (~$830), electrical (~$450) β about $6,700 for the structure, or roughly $8,000 with electronics. Perfect if you're comparing pavilion vs pergola/ramada and want a clean, budget-aware build guide.
You'll learn practical tips on grading/drainage, painting the underside of metal panels black for a cleaner look, routing power/water to the smoker bay, and layout decisions for seating, TV, fan, and Sonos. If you're planning a backyard pavilion build, this gives you the blueprint β what I'd repeat, what I'd fix, and why.
