Pergolas with "highlight": The original idea for the joy of the household

Sooner or later, but almost every owner of a country house think about the construction of the gazebo. In most cases, the idea is embodied in a square, rectangular or circular in structure. But some members of our portal prefer original form, for example - dome or, as in this case - with an unusual roof gives the whole structure a certain lightness. The first "swallow" was the gazebo by the craftsman with the nickname ovpA year later he was joined by another lover of non-standard approach - _Sveta_.

Gazebo with the unusual shape of the roof ovp

OVP (User FORUMHOUSE):

The desire to acquire a long-standing pergola, but viewed the standard (square, rectangle, five hexagonal) somehow does not inspire to independent production, and the finished cost unjustifiably expensive. Other non-standard styles (Chinese, Japanese, and so on. D.) And require from other buildings and the portion of the respective style.

The idea suggested in the vast accidentally seen a drawing of the web in the form of the original roof folded along the diagonal of the rectangle, which became the starting point. Gradually, the idea was transformed into a problem:

• Budget.
• Available to implement without professional skills.
• Functional.

The result is a wooden structure, the core having a square with a side of 4.5 m, the square pillars 4.36 × 4.36 m, height of the high points - 3.5 m, the lower - 1.2 m, angle of inclination of the roof - 34⁰. Columns from the beam 100 × 100 × 6220 mm, it is convenient that it was not necessary to splice in the skate.

On the pier foundation using asbestos cement pipes - planted a them to a depth of about one meter and concreted on piping and roofing system let timber 100h100h6000 mm 50h100h6000 mm processed tinted antiseptic. Sex on logs lay a usual floorboard 38h188h6000 mm. Shoring all elements on the metal plate and perforated corners. As roofing chosen profiled transparent polycarbonate, UV-resistant (for 1020 × 2000 mm sheet).

Construction took the whole two weeks off hands of three men, as the summer heat given to work only about four hours a day. Gradually appeared in the gazebo dining area, garden swing and BBQ. And after it was noticed that in an open gazebo mosquito is much less than on the lawn in front of it, there too, and moved hanging chair hammock. The result was a multi-purpose recreation area for all family members.

As demonstrated by long-term practice, in spite of the transparency of the roof, it provides excellent protection from the sun even during peak hours.

Shelter in the gazebo from direct rain, too, is quite real, but oblique, and with a gusty wind, flooding structure to third. However, all members of the household completely satisfied and happy to spend all their free time outdoors.

Simple arbor female hands

gazebo on ovp inspired by the achievements in the truest sense of the words of one of our umelitsy portal, has once again proved that women, if they wish, can be almost anything.

_Sveta_ (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

Long sought a suitable option and found it in ovp theme, thank him for his smart idea. I hope my experience will encourage to action all those who want to build a gazebo, but doubt their abilities. Gazebo built by two female hands, without assistants, so long built. The garden requires care and is always what to do with all of the same two hands.

like OVP,_Sveta_  I wanted to build the most simple but interesting design with minimal cost, to save on building materials and roof do one polycarbonate sheet.

Dimensions asked the old foundation from under the former greenhouses, which had lost its relevance due to a ripe old age. However, if the wall design succumbed indiscriminately without much effort, a concrete base did not wish to be dismantled even a sledgehammer. Due to unexpected fortress and it became the basis for a new bowline complex. Fundam with dimensions of 3 × 5 m still large for arbor, so the remainder of 2.93 m × 2.93 part _Sveta_ adapted for decorative pond for aquatic plants. Chosen recess under nymphs bottom lay special butyl rubber 0.5 mm thick film.

As the author of the source code, it is assembled structure of timber (100 × 100 × 6000 mm), but somewhat modified design and closed perimeter arbor not only the lattice, but also polycarbonate.

All lumber impregnated with an antiseptic, and from moisture on the bottom of the gap with sealant. And on the roof and on the walls, polycarbonate with UV protection, "gay" is yellow, and that on a cloudy day the sun creates a sense of presence, for which he was selected.

Gazebo happy hostess and households for several years, quietly soaking all weather testing, wind and snow loads. The pond formed its own eco-system for the winter main dweller - nymphs are cleaned to a depth of spring again exposed in shallow water.
