Southwest Corbel Designs

A corbel is a structural piece of timber engineered to carry and distribute heavy weight, serving as both a load-bearing powerhouse and a signature decorative accent in Southwestern architecture. Commonly used on porches, patios, and interior entries, they are custom-built to match your specific layout requirements.

Whether you need a half corbel extending off a wall, a full corbel to act as an intermediate support along a long beam span, or a 90° corbel for corner returns back to the house, we build to your exact structural angles and sizes. They are also perfect for heavy-duty countertop or mantel supports. Below are our standard design profiles; custom pricing is available upon request.
