Pavilion FAQ

Permit requirements for pavilions vary by city, village, and county in Illinois. Depending on the pavilion’s size, location, and foundation, you may need a building or zoning permit. Local regulations may also establish setback requirements from property lines or other structures. Check with your local building or zoning department before installation.

Both wood and vinyl pavilions can work well in Illinois and Midwest weather, but they have different maintenance needs. Wood offers a traditional, natural appearance but typically requires periodic staining or sealing. Vinyl requires less routine maintenance and is a popular option for homeowners who want an easy-to-maintain outdoor structure.

Yes. A properly constructed outdoor pavilion is intended to remain outdoors throughout the year. When choosing a pavilion for Illinois, consider a structure designed to withstand changing Midwest conditions, including summer heat, rain, wind, freezing temperatures, and winter snow.

Pavilions are commonly installed over patios, near pools, beside gardens, or in dedicated backyard entertaining areas. Before selecting a location, consider accessibility, drainage, utilities, property lines, and local setback requirements.

Your ideal pavilion size depends on your available space and how you plan to use it. A smaller pavilion may provide enough room for an outdoor dining set, while a larger pavilion can accommodate multiple seating areas, gatherings, or an outdoor kitchen. Be sure to account for comfortable walking space around furniture and other features.

Foundation requirements depend on the pavilion, site conditions, and local building requirements. Concrete pads are commonly used for permanent outdoor structures, but the appropriate foundation should be determined before installation. Illinois homeowners should also consider drainage, frost conditions, and applicable local codes when preparing the site.

Depending on the pavilion and local requirements, you may be able to add features such as lighting, ceiling fans, or electrical outlets. Electrical work may require permits and should follow applicable local codes, so check with your municipality and a qualified electrician before making plans.

A pavilion can provide a great setting for an outdoor kitchen, but you’ll need to consider ventilation, heat-producing appliances, utilities, and fire-safety requirements. Local building and fire codes may affect what can be installed, so confirm the requirements for your Illinois property before designing the space.

In some cases, a pavilion can be installed on an existing concrete patio, but the patio must be suitable for supporting and anchoring the structure. Factors such as concrete thickness, footings, frost depth, and local building requirements may affect installation. Have the existing patio evaluated before planning your pavilion installation.

I have two buildings from Countryside Barns on my property. The first one is a lofted garden shed purchased a delivered in 2016. The second is a garage purchased in 2023. The second was originally going to be a small 8’X12’ garden shed. Due to a variance requirement with the city, I was not able to place the small garden shed in the respectable place I selected on my property. Countryside Barns was understanding, I put a halt on the order 6 days after placing it. Thank you, Jessica! I selected a new location on my property and was able to go bigger 14’X32’. I also decided to go with a portable garage vs a garden shed. With a copy of the approved permit and my down payment I signed the contract. With both buildings I have had a few issues but they were taken care of. EDIT: Photos are from months later, they did not install rock, landscaping, gutters, concrete, or electrical.

Highly recommended. Our new shed fits nicely with our renovated space and looks great. The design process was easy and ended up being just what we wanted. I appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail, and we are sure to get many years of use out of it. It’s great to work with local businesses.

Both the product and the installation process exceeded all expectations! Everything was done exactly when they said it would be, and the quality of construction is exceptional. Patrick made the delivery and checked leveling very carefully and even took the time to add a couple bumpers to the door and touch up paint on the base or at a tiny scratch from installation. This shed is certainly built to last!
