TimberShield is a canopy system built on decades of Douglas Fir milling and engineered for permanence. Every structure comes from one integrated supply chain: the tree, the mill, the fabrication, the install.
The Pacific Northwest mill that supplies every TimberShield structure has been operating continuously since 1977 — nearly five decades of Douglas Fir specialty milling for regional builders and commercial fabricators.
Washington Timber Company takes ownership with a mission to bring premium Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir directly to modern architectural applications — vertically integrated from log to installed structure.
TimberShield launches as the canopy system built on that mill's timber output. Signature V-leg geometry, three roof options, five standard models, and an interchangeable-parts system now in full production.
Most timber canopy makers buy their lumber from someone else. We mill it ourselves. That means guaranteed material availability, consistent Grade #1 structural Douglas Fir, faster lead times, and lower carbon impact from the shorter supply chain — all without depending on volatile lumber markets.
The result is a canopy system that starts as a Pacific Northwest tree and ends as a stamped, engineered, IBC-compliant structure on your site — all under one roof.
Founder · Washington Timber Company · TimberShield
Shawn Roten founded Washington Timber Company in 2021 after seeing an opportunity to bring Pacific Northwest heavy timber directly to modern architectural applications. The acquisition of a mill operating continuously since 1977 gave the company something rare in the timber industry: full vertical integration from raw log to finished canopy.
In 2024, Shawn launched TimberShield as the flagship canopy system built on that mill's output — a productized approach to what has traditionally been a custom-per-project industry. Today, TimberShield structures are installed across Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona, with over 100 canopies deployed and a new interchangeable-parts system in full production.
