Gatherings with guests, dinner with family fresh air, rest after working in the garden - an economy class summer gazebo will be very useful to you in any of these situations. It is not always advisable to make it large-scale and spacious; in most cases, a small and budget building is enough, which will delight you and your guests.

Classic sizes of a summer gazebo

The optimal size of a small summer gazebo is 3 by 3 meters. This is enough for both a family circle and a small group of people.

Today's problems sound like this:

• How to build a budget summer gazebo with your own hands?
• What materials can be used to make a summer structure at the lowest cost?
• How much would such construction cost?

This publication will discuss step by step process construction with photos and videos of a small gazebo made of timber with dimensions of 3 by 3 meters. This option is one of the cheapest and most practical for construction, but if for some reason it does not suit you, at the end of the publication I will provide links to similar articles on construction.

Before taking active steps, I suggest studying the final result of the work and its technical characteristics.

Most budget gazebos are built according to the same principle, the cost of materials is also approximately the same, but I would still like to emphasize this - it is important to understand what and from what we are going to build.

Technical characteristics of the finished gazebo

The photo is shown to the right of the characteristics. When you click on the photo, it will open in a larger size.

The final result of construction

• Material: Beam 100 by 100 mm;
• Dimensions: 3 by 3 meters;
• Foundation: columnar (made of bricks);
• Roof: single slope;
• Roof: euro slate (ondulin), but you can use a more budget option - corrugated sheeting;
• Wall cladding: oriented strand board (OSB);
• Floor: board 40 by 100 mm “magpie”;
• Painting: antiseptic Senezh Ultra in 3 layers.

The materials used for construction are the simplest and cheapest. However, they are quite enough for a reliable and strong building that will last for many years and withstand hundreds of rains.

Foundation

For such a structure, a columnar foundation was chosen. It consists of nine brick pillars, which are the basis for the entire gazebo. The foundation construction process is as follows:

1. 9 holes are dug with a depth of 70 cm;
2. The first 30 cm are covered with sand (ideally, put some crushed stone at the bottom) and compacted;
3. The remaining 40 cm are filled construction waste and filled with concrete;
4. Two bricks (ideally fired red ceramic bricks) are laid on top of the concrete;
5. A layer of bitumen is applied on top of the bricks and, ideally, a sheet of roofing felt is laid.

Ready-made foundation pillars

Such a foundation is extremely reliable for small buildings. A summer gazebo is an ideal building for such a foundation. Therefore, it was he who was given preference during construction.

Bottom harness

A lower frame is laid on top of the foundation, which consists of wooden blocks fastened together. The beams are fastened to each other “into the floor of the tree.” The connection must first be treated with an antiseptic or bitumen. Four self-tapping screws are screwed onto the connections for security.

In addition to the four beams around the perimeter, one additional one is installed in the center - the so-called “log”. In the future, it will be needed to attach the floor board to the frame (more on this in the chapter on flooring).

Finished bottom harness

Posts and top trim

Pillars are installed on the lower frame, which will serve as the basis for the walls and the top frame. Four posts are installed at the corners of the gazebo, and one additional post is installed next to the entrance at the height of the railing.

The height of the front pillars is 230 cm, the height of the rear pillars is 200 cm. This is done for the further construction of the roof slope.

Fastening poles to metal corners

The top trim consists of two beams installed parallel to each other on top of the pillars. The fastening is identical to the bottom trim - into the floor of the tree.

Installed poles and top trim

Erection of the roof and laying of the roof

The whole process will be more clearly described in the form of a step-by-step approach:

1. On top of the bottom trim we attach 9 rafters in increments of 30 cm;
2. We install 9 boards parallel to the rafters, also in increments of 30 cm;
3. If you did everything exactly according to the instructions, then you should have a roof in the form of lattice;
4. We lay sheets of ondulin or corrugated sheets on top of the roof, depending on your capabilities.

Rafters

Lathing

The rafters are attached to the frame using metal corners and screws. It turns out quite reliable design, which can withstand not only the roof, but also winter snow.

Finished roof

Floor

After installing the pillars, you can begin laying the floor. You will need about 30 3m long boards, some of which will need to be fitted to fit the posts. The floor is attached with self-tapping screws to the bottom trim and the joist in the center.

The secret to a level floor is to place the first board level. If you succeed, then the process will be more fun.

Finished floor

Railings and OSB cladding

For the railing, a beam with a section of 50 by 50 mm is used, which is attached to a height convenient for people. In addition to the timber, it will be necessary to install additional supports on which the oriented strand board will be attached in the future. All this is clearly shown in the photographs that will be presented below.

Fastening railings to corners

Finished railings

The OSB board is fastened with self-tapping screws, plus it is additionally pressed down with bars in the center. This creates not only reliability, but also additional aesthetics.

Laying the first OSB boards

A few words about antiseptic and paint

The proposed version of an inexpensive gazebo turned out to be extremely beautiful and effective. The main secret lies in a well-chosen color, which plays in contrast between the dark and light shades of the wood.

You can use your own options for protecting the tree, but the owner of this building recommends antiseptic Senezh Ultra, which is applied to three layers. This will allow you to achieve reliable protection for the tree and a beautiful appearance.

Video

I express my deep gratitude to the user of the channel with the name “ Vasya Vasin" It was he who prepared this video on construction, and also commented on some of the questions that were asked to him in the comments.

If you have any questions, you can ask them both in the comments to his video and in our feed after publication. We can forward your questions to him, and then receive and write you his answer.

Photos of summer gazebos

Wooden gazebo with decor for summer holidays

In one of the publications on our website, we examined in detail the variety of summer gazebos made not only from wood, but also from other building materials.

View options with different types and design, as well as pick up some idea for your dacha, you can follow the link below.

Options for building other structures

For various reasons, this construction option is not suitable for everyone. In view of this, I offer you construction instructions similar in writing style, which also clearly and clearly explain the process of building a gazebo with your own hands.

Several links are provided below.

Among the presented options, all buildings are made of wood and in a fairly budget format. Any elite building materials like decorative plaster or wild stone not used here.

The simplest wooden gazebo, photo report of the construction.

A gazebo at the dacha is an ideal place to relax, every summer resident can build it, no special construction skills are required here, just look step by step photos construction of a gazebo.

This time we will make a simple gazebo from timber and boards with a gable roof with a slate roof.

We build a gazebo with our own hands photo.

STEP. 1. We make a columnar foundation; it is enough to pour 6 supporting concrete supports. The structure of a columnar foundation is described in detail in this article. Supporting concrete pillars need to cover waterproofing material, for example, pieces of roofing felt, otherwise the wood will draw moisture from the concrete.

STEP. 2. We make the strapping from timber; the timber is secured at the corners with tenon joints and self-tapping screws.

STEP. 3. We install supports and make the top trim from timber. The supports are attached to the frames with metal corners and self-tapping screws. We cover the lower trim with waste motor oil, which will serve as an excellent antiseptic and protect the wood from rotting and insects.

STEP. 4. We fasten the rafters for gable roof. The angle of inclination of the roof slopes must be at least 30 degrees.

STEP. 5. We fill the rafters with a sheathing of boards and lay the covering material. In this case, slate was used, but it is better to work with corrugated sheets; it is much lighter and easier to install.

Slate laying scheme, first the bottom row of slate is laid, then the top row with an overlap, the laying direction is towards the most windy side.

We lay a wooden floor and fasten it side walls gazebos and roof gables.

A country house has been built, but the site has not yet been developed? It's time to think about a place to relax. Where is it nice to relax both in the summer heat and in the pouring rain? Of course, in a gazebo that we built with our own hands. In a wooden building it is cozy and comfortable to read a book with a cup of tea, celebrate holidays with your family or with a group of friends. You're probably already interested, right? In the article you will find up-to-date information on building a wooden gazebo with your own hands.

Wooden gazebo, its advantages and disadvantages

Before you start construction, search for drawings and select a place for a gazebo, you need to carefully study the properties of the material. The advantages of wood are as follows:

1. Weight. Allows you to facilitate the installation of the structure and save money on the construction of the foundation.
2. Environmental friendliness. Wood is a safe material; in such a gazebo they eat, relax with children and spend a lot of time.
3. Ease of processing. Complex design solutions implemented by people with minimal construction skills.
4. Price. Cost of a wooden gazebo coniferous species, oak or birch is low compared to metal structures, and is accessible to everyone.
5. Harmony. The building is in harmony with 90% landscape designs due to its naturalness.

Harmonious and beautiful, will fit into any site design

Alas, no material can do without its shortcomings.

1. Low fire resistance. To avoid fires, it is not recommended to install near the gazebo stationary barbecues, it is necessary to treat the material with special impregnation during construction.
2. Moisture intolerance. Constant source water nearby (river, lake, artificial fountain) leads to rotting of the structure. This is prevented by applying waterproofing agents to the parts.

Getting ready to build a gazebo: project drawings, optimal dimensions

The choice fell on an easy-to-build rectangular gazebo. For this type of structure there are two roof options: gable or hipped. We decided to make the roof of the first design, since it is easier for beginners.

• The base of the gazebo is a square with a side of 2 meters 10 cm.
• The length of the support posts is 2 meters.
• The distance from the base of the roof to its top is 66.5 cm.
• The middle harness is performed at a height of 70 cm from the floor.

Project of a gazebo with opaque cladding up to the level of the middle frame. For such a construction, it is recommended to install stationary jibs to strengthen the structure, the length of which does not exceed 15 cm.

In one of the sides of the gazebo there is an opening for entry and exit. It is performed in the middle, the distances from the corner posts are 60 cm. The width of the opening is 80.9 cm (including additional beams).

Dimensions 2x2 meters with entrance opening

The length of the rafters is 1.99 meters. When making a protruding roof, the area that the gazebo will occupy will be 2.5 x 2.5 m2. This should be taken into account when subsequently decorating the area around the building.

These dimensions are optimal for a structure in which a family relaxes on the territory country house. Of course, you can adjust the height of the gazebo or the area of ​​its base if it is planned for large-scale celebrations and events.

Choosing the material (wood, logs, beams, etc.), tips. Calculation of the required quantity

When choosing a material for making a gazebo, attention is paid to the type of wood and construction method.

Most often, the building is erected from the following rocks:

1. Pine: rot resistance and mechanical strength. Disadvantage - it is easily affected by wood-staining fungi.
2. Spruce: hygroscopic and less susceptible to bacteria.
3. Larch: by 30% stronger than pine, and more resistant to moisture. Disadvantage - difficult to process; durable, but easy to crack.

As for the construction method, there are 3 types.

There are 2 types of boards from which it is convenient to make wooden structures:

The board is tongue-and-groove, it will be easy to attach

The board is recommended to be used by craftsmen who erect buildings with one hand, since installation will not require additional assistance due to the weight of the material.

• racks - 27 meters of timber or 54 lm of board,
• rafters - 10 linear meters of boards,
• top trim - 8 lm of board,
• floor covering - 40 linear meters of boards,
• railings (middle railing) - 8 lm of board,
• roof - 8 square meters(roofing felt or tiles).

List of tools for construction

Before starting work, prepare the following tools:

1. saws - circular and for cutting at an angle,
2. electric plane,
3. chisel,
4. hammer,
5. jigsaw,
6. carpentry workbench,
7. tape measure and building level,
8. ladder,
9. drill and bits.

Construction of a wooden structure step by step

Laying the foundation: is it necessary and how to do it?

Before starting work, you need to prepare a drawing yourself or find it on the Internet

A common mistake when constructing buildings near bodies of water is an incorrectly selected foundation. You should also take into account the possibility of close groundwater and the specifics of wooden buildings; we recommend building it not monolithic, but columnar. This type will allow the gazebo to gain additional stability and save time.

Following the instructions, the process of laying the foundation will be quick and uncomplicated.

Marking scheme for the foundation

To begin, mark out the area for construction according to the drawing. Install stakes around the perimeter of the gazebo and tie them with thick thread.

Preparatory work

After this, check that the supports are installed correctly by measuring the diagonals (distances between opposite corners). They must be equal.

Perhaps, best option for a small gazebo

The next step is to dig holes for the supporting pillars. Depth - 40 cm, width - pole diameter + 15–20 cm. For our gazebo four supports it is quite enough, but if you are planning a gazebo with an area of ​​6 square meters or more, it is advisable to make an additional hole in the center. This will help prevent the floorboards from sagging.

Before installing the posts, treat them with an antiseptic material (tar or bitumen).

Then insert the supports into the holes and backfill. It is better to do this using large crushed stone or crushed old brick. Compact the material and check the verticality of the pillars with a building level.

The final stage. Prepare concrete mortar and fill the holes. Two or three days should pass before further work, depending on air humidity. The pillars can be decorated separately with bricks. This will improve the appearance of the foundation and further protect it.

Construction work on making a gazebo for your dacha with your own hands

The construction of a gazebo begins with the installation of the base.

Place the pre-prepared timber horizontally, at a distance of 10 cm from the ground, and secure it with self-tapping screws to the support pillars (column foundation). It is necessary to carry out this work carefully, since the stability of the structure and service life depend on the quality of the foundation.

Reliable fastening with metal corners

A small indentation from the ground will ensure good ventilation. In a wooden gazebo, a floor made of the same material looks great. In the manufactured base we install logs for a durable floor frame. The distance between two adjacent supports is at least 40 cm.

There are two options for fastening:

• screwing in screws at the joint;
• tied with metal corners.

The next step is to lay the floor boards over the sheathing. They need to be nailed with a small gap of 1–2 mm for better ventilation. Each element is screwed with two screws on each side. If you decide to use nails, you need to drill holes for them in advance, this is necessary so that the board does not crack.

Laying the floor in the structure

All wooden parts treat with a waterproofing material if you are using a regular board and not a terrace board (it does not require treatment).

Next, install the supporting supports. Place the pre-prepared beam strictly vertically on the supporting supports. Check with building level and strengthen with jibs. To strengthen the structure, perform a middle strapping. To do this, take a board prepared in advance, mark and cut out the necessary parts according to the drawing. Then use self-tapping screws to secure the base to the beams.

Upper harness ties support pillars and is the basis for the roof. Screw the prepared boards with self-tapping screws and secure with metal corners for greater strength.

Top and middle trim

We install the railings, make cuts in the risers, as shown in the photo, and secure them using corners. Under them we fix the sheathing for exterior finishing, retreating from the edge by the width of the covering material, plus 1–2 cm.

It is impossible to imagine a gazebo without railings

To give the future gazebo stability, you can do this part of the work from timber. Cuts are made from the end and connected, securing it with two nails, as shown in the photo below.

The length of the cut is equal to the width of the beam

For the roof you will need to assemble rafter system. It consists of triangles for roofing material.

With such cuts in the rafters the roof will be much more reliable

In the rafter boards, using a pre-prepared template, cut out a gap for the timber (board) of the strapping at a distance of 30–40 cm.

Detailed drawing of the gazebo roof

Assemble the template very carefully, checking and trying it on several times. A roof with an overhang will give you the opportunity to relax in the gazebo in rainy weather and not get wet. Fasten three boards with a metal corner. The finished triangles are raised to the height of the roof and nailed obliquely with long nails or secured with metal corners. To ensure the stability of the roof during installation, it must be supported in the center. This can be done with timber; after finishing the work it is removed. After installing each part, check the horizontal and vertical using a building level.

The inner ends of the rafters are fixed to the central headstock in the same way as in the photo.

Internal headstock for securing rafters

Internal headstock, bottom view

If you decide to use four boards on the roof instead of eight, then you can secure them in another way. The two main ones are connected to each other using self-tapping screws, and the remaining ones are attached to them.

Fastening a four-rafter system

All triangles must be covered with OSB boards 6–8 mm thick, strictly cutting them according to the drawings.

Before you start laying the roofing material, nail one horizontal board at each end of the roof, in the picture under the letter A, on the sides. This point should not be forgotten, as it will protect you from slanting rain, and the ends of the board from moisture.

This board will protect both you and the building itself from raindrops

Additionally, you can install drips, then no rain can wet you and your gazebo.

Drip caps will reliably protect the edges of the gazebo from any downpour

Selected material ( bitumen shingles or roofing felt) lay with an overlap for better insulation from moisture. Laying should be done from the drip side, gradually moving towards the base. Protect the connections of the roof triangles from precipitation with pieces of the remaining roofing material.

Fix the bitumen shingles with special nails in a certain place on the roofing sheet

To decorate the gazebo, make a sheathing of 30x40 mm bars between the railings and the top trim. Cut the ends at an angle of 45 degrees, and sand the elements to a smooth (without burrs) surface. Then use long nails to nail the ends to the middle trim and to the base of the roof. Arrange the pieces crosswise.

On sunny days there will always be partial shade inside the gazebo

The tighter you want the “windows”, the more often you need to install the bars.

Finishing: what to cover, whether and how to paint

If you want to preserve the naturalness of the material, then the maximum that should be done at the final stage of finishing is to coat the surfaces with varnish. If you want to show your creativity, then you can paint the gazebo in your own way unique design. For this wooden surfaces you need to treat it with a primer, wait until it dries and start painting. To make the color more saturated, you can apply 2 layers.

• The first finishing option is to install balusters. It all depends on your imagination, there are many options on sale, choose the one you like and go ahead with the tools. You can also order them to size and secure them in the frame of the gazebo. This is done using screws and simple movements with a screwdriver.

For every taste, for every design idea

• Another option interior decoration- lining. This material is a board with a double-sided connection for covering rooms. This connection allows you to carefully match the elements one to one. This material is most often chosen due to its low cost, ease of installation and thermal insulation properties. Also, the lining will give your gazebo a natural look.

You can also combine finishing - lining + balusters

• Interior decoration is made from pine boards. This option has a low price compared to oak, cedar or larch. A variety of colors will help you choose boards that best suit your landscape design.

Mounting occurs horizontally or vertical way. The first visually stretches the gazebo in width, the second - in height.

For finishing you will need nails, a screwdriver, a hammer, a drill, a hammer drill and a hacksaw.

• At the first stage, treat all material with an antiseptic to prevent rotting and the appearance of fungi and other microorganisms. After drying, apply a fire retardant and wait a day.
• The next stage is the installation of the lining on the sheathing, which was carried out at the previous stage. The first boards must be fastened, starting from one of the corners of the gazebo, as carefully as possible, since the entire further process depends on them. Fix them to the sheathing using special clamps (pictured), driving in small nails. Install the following panels as close to each other as possible, but leaving a gap of about 1–2 mm, so that when humidity increases, the material does not begin to bulge when the boards swell. Check the installation of each part according to the construction level.

It’s easy to attach the paneling using these devices.

• The last stage is varnishing. This is done for waterproofing and improving appearance.

Simple, ventilated design with hipped roof Option for a gazebo with a barbecue inside it: functional and convenient Russian folk style may not suit every area A simple composition of logs with lathing

Today not a single site is complete without a gazebo. Dachas and private houses are already being designed with the condition of placing a special corner on the territory in which you can relax with family or friends, eat food in the fresh air, do handicrafts, read, and so on. Exists large number various types, designs and materials for the manufacture of simple and complex gazebos for summer cottages. Let's consider step by step all the main points that are very important to pay attention to.

Species

Before you get started, you should figure out what a simple summerhouse will look like. A lot depends on its location, the characteristics of the site itself and functionality. First of all, let's go over the main types and their features.

Wicker gazebo

The simplest design, with a touch of primitiveness. The main production material is vine. Moreover, it is used not only in the construction of the roof, but also in support posts and fences. Nowadays wicker country furniture is also very popular.

Additional materials that may be needed:

• wooden beams - for constructing the frame of the gazebo and roof;
• lining, boards or concrete screed - for the floor.

The main advantage of the wicker structure is its mobility. Some modern craftsmen easily make collapsible gazebos for themselves, which are simply put away in a barn, garage, and so on for the winter.

Gazebo-umbrella

The only thing simpler than this design could be a tree hanging over the dining area. The basis of the gazebo is a strong, heavy trunk, which additionally serves as support for the canopy. The base of the central pipe is concreted and buried in the ground. Any material can be used as a roof, from waterproof fabric with special impregnation to the ubiquitous PVC film. The spacers must be light in weight, so profile or wooden slats are usually used.

The disadvantages of such a gazebo will be poor resistance to wind, relatively small dimensions, and the absence of walls. In any case, when deciding in favor of this option, it is necessary to carefully weigh the features of its placement on the site and the nuances of use.

Gazebo made of PVC fabric

Most universal material of all that exist. Compared to the previous two, the cost may be slightly higher, but the functionality of such a gazebo will not disappoint you.

What does the PVC film structure consist of:

• floor – concrete screed, wooden platform or leveled area;
• frame – the basis for stretching the film;
• roof and walls - the second is stretched at will.

A special feature of gazebos made from PVC film is its durability, ease of use and maintenance of the material. If necessary, you can remove the canvas and hide it until the onset of the season. PVC films are resistant to weather conditions, do not fade in the sun, and do not deform.

Polycarbonate

It has been popular lately.

Gazebos made of such material delight users with their advantages.

• Ease of construction. Starting from the structure frame to the polycarbonate fastening.
• Variability. From this material you can build a roof and gazebo of any shape and size. When designing, experts advise taking into account the fact that polycarbonate sheets have standard sizes 2.1x6 m, so the area of ​​the gazebo should be calculated taking into account the minimum waste residue.
• Opportunity to save. This design is very easy to build yourself. Having previously prepared the frame of the gazebo, all that remains is to order required quantity polycarbonate and screw it to the base with your own hands.

Wooden gazebos

Durable, beautiful, environmentally friendly. This option can hardly be called economical. But lovers of wood and fresh air will appreciate this design. The minimum materials that will be needed to build the simplest gazebo with your own hands include wooden blocks And edged board. But you can also use the lath to make wicker sheathing. As a roof for such a gazebo, professionals recommend slate, metal tiles, polycarbonate or flexible types roofs.

Brick gazebo

It is a more solid structure, but also not particularly difficult to construct independently. The main convenience of such a building is the ability to insulate it and make it an all-season vacation spot. However, the decision in favor of permanent or temporary use should be made at the design stage in order to include windows, doors and other additional nuances in the construction plan. And also do not forget that such a strong gazebo must have a solid foundation.

Metal construction

This is a version of a gazebo that can be created from almost nothing. Literally from the remains of metal sheets, rods, profiles, corners and so on. Very convenient for designing for craftsmen who master the art of working on welding machine. Forged elements add sophistication and additional attractiveness to the simplest design. It is not a budget option, but it may well be a simple but convenient addition to your summer cottage.

Design Features

The main elements that make up any simple summerhouse include:

1. base;
2. frame;
3. roof.

A do-it-yourself gazebo for a summer residence does not have any particular difficulties. But some points are worth paying attention to close attention so that your vacation spot pleases you in the allotted time. Let's take a closer look at each stage and element of building a gazebo yourself.

Of course, before starting construction, it is necessary to make drawings that will indicate not only the dimensions of the future structure, but also the types of each of its components.

Base

The construction can begin with the foundation, if the soil on the site is not happy with its evenness, stability and, in general, you just want to feel the floor under your feet. There are a lot of options for making this element: from the simplest tape or on screw piles to the original ones - from tires.

The optimal and widely used type is considered to be a columnar foundation for a gazebo made of any material without walls. The heavier the structure itself, the more thorough its support should be.

Those who are luckier with the location may consider the option of a gazebo without a floor. The prevailing landscape of the site will act as a covering under the structure.

Frame

As already mentioned, there can be many options for the gazebo frame. The most common ones for self-construction are wooden beams and metal rods or corners.

Construction professionals focus on simple rules, which will help you quickly and permanently build a cozy place to relax in your country house.

1. Do not use wood and concrete together in close contact. Wooden elements begin to rot over time, which increases the risk of collapse of the entire structure.
2. When designing a brick or aerated concrete gazebo, you must immediately take into account the location of windows and doors. Even if at first the decision is made to make only a summer structure, closer to the cold weather there may be a desire to insulate it and use it in the cold season. Openings not taken into account in the initial design will be much more difficult to implement at the end of the season.
3. As fencing, you can use eurolining and polycarbonate, which are perfectly combined and coexist with any materials.
4. The simplest gazebos can be built directly on the ground. For example, metal frame very often installed on an area covered with sand. It is then simply covered with existing rugs or scrap flooring.

Roof

First of all, you need to decide on the shape: single-pitch, gable, hip (four-pitch), semicircular, hexagonal, hipped, round. Of course, in most cases, the type of roof directly depends on the shape of the gazebo itself. Most often, during construction, simple summerhouse With their own hands, craftsmen decide in favor of single- or double-slope structures.

As for coverage, each owner chooses individually. But the roofing material is also calculated taking into account the use of the gazebo: all-season or only in summer. There is even a category of mobile roofs that can be folded for the winter and removed before the weather warms up.

To get inspired and find for yourself best option summerhouse, consider the most unusual, but simple projects.

Original ideas

A simple but functional gazebo for the garden. If desired, you can stretch flexible windows - PVC film to protect vacationers from wind or rain.

Increasingly, owners of private houses decide to build a gazebo on their property - what is surprising is not the presence of such an extension near the house, but its absence. They may have various shapes, built from traditional or the most unusual materials. To achieve harmony on the site, the gazebo is made in the same style as the rest of the buildings. Installed inside dining table, it will be possible to have family dinners outdoors. In closed gazebos equipped with a stove you will be comfortable even in the cold season.

How to find the right place

The site intended for construction must be level and not swampy. The lumpy area must first be leveled and cleared of debris, stones, stumps and large roots. If groundwater pass too close to the surface of the site, the structure will not be stable and safe.

The location for the gazebo should be selected in accordance with its purpose.

If you are planning to throw noisy parties for large number guests, then it is advisable to remove the building from the residential building. Then elderly parents and children will be able to rest in silence.

Spacious pavilions are chosen by owners of large plots. Small structures for two or three people fit harmoniously into the thick of the garden.

In small areas small architectural forms They are erected close to the house so that its walls protect the gazebo from the wind.

When placing a building on open area It will be necessary to plan a convenient approach, fencing to protect from wind and precipitation.

Considering that the gazebo is intended for relaxation, ensure beautiful view from it to a flowerbed, garden or lake.

What materials can you use to build a gazebo?

Large selection building materials allows you to select suitable option for any budget and building style. Conventionally, all materials can be divided into 2 groups: traditional and unusual. The first include:

Stone, brick. Building a gazebo made of brick or stone will be expensive, but such a structure will be reliable and durable. The materials are not subject to the negative influence of precipitation and pests. Finishing brick and stone are sold in various colors, the strength of the structure allows you to install a roof even from heavy natural tiles.

Tree V various types: boards, lining, euro pallets, OSB boards. The basis of the structure will be timber or pillars with a diameter of at least 10 cm or a round, square metal profile. Such a gazebo can be built quickly and at an affordable cost.

Designs from forged metal , as a rule, have an exclusive design, are durable and expensive. For budget options A painted corrugated sheet will do.

TO unusual materials, from which you can build a gazebo, include everything you can imagine:

Bottles made of glass or plastic. The structure is built on a foundation; a metal profile is used as a frame. Plastic bottles fixed on rods, glass - on cement mortar. When laid out in a certain way, they create walls with high noise and heat insulation. The building will have unusual design, will allow you to realize your creative potential.
