The answer is - no matter from which you build the gazebo, the main thing that she liked for you and come up and help users build forumhouse.ru!

Where should I put the gazebo?

It is believed that first appeared arbor 5 millennia ago. They were known in ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. Sit outdoors under the roof love in ancient Russia. But now, from an object of luxury gazebos become an integral part of your site, often become the main place for leisure and important family gatherings.

When choosing a site for the construction of the gazebo should be remembered that if you vozvedote it in an open area, accessible scorching rays of the sun, the gazebo will become a furnace. Location arbors should be carefully considered depending on the layout of the suburban area and its landscape. And the overall style of the gazebo should be in harmony with the design of your home.

Correctly gazebo will be placed in a shady place, such as a hidden tree crowns. Better yet, build an arbor next to a natural or artificial body of water, which will give you cool and fresh. Also arbor it should not be stored next to the constant noise source, for example by passing near the road.

A user of our forum with the nickname svi 1 advises placing gazebos for competent pre-break portion area into zones. For example:

• Rest zone;
• garden area;
• Economic Zone;
• Parking area.

And then, you're in these areas takes the arrangement of objects. Also, it is important to ensure the availability of a passage to the arbor. For example, from the kitchen or bath.

In the design of the gazebo to its construction it is necessary to determine the size of the structure. But how to do that? No new posts Olga (forum name mukunoki) It recommends that depart from the presumptive amount of guests.

- Dimensions pergola will largely depend on the number of guests, so that neither you nor they were not in it closely.

Most often, the standard size of the gazebo for a few people undertake the following:

• Length - 3 m.
• Width - 2 m.

And to determine the size of the gazebo is important to understand the purpose for which you are building it. When rare and quiet gatherings is possible to do a little outdoor pavilion and quite another noisy, cheerful company. There will need to have large covered gazebo with furniture, electricity and running water, often including a stove or barbecue. Agree, during emotional conversations do not want to be away for a meal in the kitchen in the house, especially if the rain or snow sweeps.

Although you can sometimes hear the opinion that for all occasions you can get a veranda or terrace, so consider not all.

- think about the layout of the site, and the construction of the gazebo on it, I get the following:

Veranda will not replace the gazebo.

• From the gazebo you need to look at the fire in the oven or grill.
• When the fry kebabs, need a roof over your head. After all, it may rain.
• And for ease of use, garden furniture should be placed before the bath or sundeck.

Sometimes, to create the gazebo of your dreams, you need to demolish the old and build new. Says new posts with the nickname IrinaPrima.

IrinaPrima(User FORUMHOUSE):

- Initially, our site was a wooden gazebo, a conventional hex, but taking into account the weather and its size it was totally adapted to suit our large family needs. After all, we would like the winter get-togethers at the stove with great food and a pleasant atmosphere, and this is best gazebo, built of brick.

Gazebos are of two types - temporary and permanent.

Temporary gazebos collected upon the occurrence of the warm season. And with the advent of cold weather they dismantled and stored all winter in a farm building to reassemble with the arrival of summer.

Despite the simplicity of design and simple tastes to the foundation (as the base can serve any smooth surface, which established support of the blocks or piles are screwed) and ease of construction, such arbors have a significant drawback - you have to deal with their assembly and disassembly twice year. In such case, the shower arbor generally do not provide adequate shelter.

Permanent gazebo - on its essence - is a small house, with the corresponding requirements for the installation of foundations and wall material. Typically, these arbors are made of wood or stone, and set within the furnishings - tables, chairs, cabinets.

Despite the high costs, compared with temporary gazebos, pergolas or alive, such designs provide complete protection against adverse natural rainfall and with proper approach to the project, they can become the center of landscape design at the site and is proud of its owner.

Right bower reliable basis!

As is known, any construction begins with the construction of the foundation. Is no exception and the construction of the gazebo. After all, how much it will be comfortable, and how long it will last, in the first place depends on the reliability of its foundation. The experience of the construction of the arbor with their hands in our forum user with the nickname

batista36(User FORUMHOUSE):

- In the summer me comes a lot of guests, and want to sit outside in the shade and fry kebab, instead of a table in the yard, I decided to make an arbor by hand. Since I do not have the yardbigOn the one side of the fence, on the other hand is growing grapes, standing next to the wall at home, I decided to choose a location for the gazebo between grapes and Kalina - turned ground about 2.7 x 2.6m

Then forumchanin spaced portion of its flattened and began digging a trench depth of 30 cm. a strip foundation. The bottom of the excavated trench filled with sand it on top of the solution was put w / w pins in two rows, leaving between them a distance of 5cm and also filled it with concrete. Giving structure to dry 3 days batista36 laid on top of cropping reinforcement and reliability for the foundation made a tie.

batista36:

–The entire perimeter of the future gazebos I put sleepers, linking them with each other and the corners of the plates. 4 the edges of wooden poles set-bearing ash, a thickness of about 12cm., A pre-treating wood preservative ends of which are intended to pour into the form. Initially wanted to make concrete pillars, but then changed his mind, because I decided that the tree will last long enough.

During the construction of the gazebo, just like building a house, the construction of the foundation you need to begin with the study of soils, for example, with a high level of ground water under the foundation required to warm, in order to avoid seasonal shifts associated with the forces of frost heaving. And if the summerhouse plan to install the furnace, slab foundation under it, it is necessary to do separate from the main.

Most often under the pergola made foundations, built of blocks or pile foundation, but sometimes our users use the original decision.

helzyrf(User FORUMHOUSE):

– Primer for site my rock, earth topsheet 30 cm, more clay and stones. He took off the ground, promptly inserted boulders and leveled ground, sprinkled screenings. She put on the tire, filled and rammed screenings, and that foundation column. The weight of a small gazebo, landslides and lateral displacements in the next hundred years is not expected. And most importantly - this is a very economical option of the foundation.

On one such column takes about 13 buckets of dropouts. If there is a bias, that on the one hand put a tire on the other two.

Tegmental columns for a given square of 3x3 must be installed every 1.5 meters.

erecting walls

Despite the fact that the construction of the walls of the gazebo is most commonly used timber, and the walls are sewn planks or clapboard, can look very original glazed gazebo collected from debarked logs. That is exactly what came with the nickname of our new posts

Lady_M(User FORUMHOUSE):

–To realize the idea of ​​the construction on the site gazebo, barbecue I have seen a lot of projects. And although the project satisfies me on all counts and was not found, as a result of searches gazebo was born, composed ofdebarked logs and fixed therein from the furnace bricks.

Debarked logs is machined in which the bark will separate, with the ax. Whereby the upper layer is stored logs resin layer, which serves natural defense, protecting the timber against decay during precipitation.

Lady_M:

– Gazebo, barbecue, we have built in the fall. So it was possible he borrowed it in the winter. Verdict - warm and cozy. And in spite of such modest size gazebo - 4h4m - six or seven easily placed in it at the table. A total construction costs amounted to slightly more than 200t. rub.

Logs, in which grooves have been pre-selected, vertically mounted on a concrete base foundation.

The grooves infest the walls of the log. Therefore, the design looks more accurate than the assembly in a bowl or paw. And in the window opening was made okosyachka and caulked walls.

Lady_M:

- From the table to the furnace somewhere 1-1.2m. It is very convenient, especially in cold evenings or winter. I think that a gazebo with dimensions of 6x4, which we expected initially, no additional insulation is no longer would be so comfortable.

Keep in mind that getting a building permit is not required for the construction of the gazebo, barbecue, the owner chooses the location, the size of the structure and so on. But construction should be carried out in compliance with the town planning, fire protection, sanitary norms.

Vultur(User FORUMHOUSE):

- In town-planning norms distance from the gazebo or households. Building adjacent to the border area (e.g., a fence) must be at least 1 meter.

Also in the construction of the gazebo with a stove or barbecue should be guided by the following rules:

• The furnace should be located under the roof and did not fall under the rain.
• The arbor at the device in its plumbing should be provided runoff and drainage into the drain well.
• Size arbor calculated to place around the furnace were not cluttered furniture. From the side of the furnace space must be at least 3 meters on each side - 1 meter.
• Wooden structures should be treated with the composition ognebiozaschity.
• Wiring is best done open way.
• On the floor next to the oven for protection against sparks can put the metal sheet.

Style your gazebo

To protect the arbors from sunlight gazebo can be closed blinds or bamboo blinds, but there are some secrets.

Dimitrio(User FORUMHOUSE):

- In fact, the curtains in the gazebo is a good thing. And protection from the sun and from the wind and rain. But there are things you need to know:

• The street is not a house or apartment.
• Fabric wind, rain and ultraviolet light is harmful. Because fabric fade, and it is destroyed under the sun.
• Before you choose a fabric and material find its characteristics, and whether it can be used on the street.
• Sail shades, can negate the pleasure of staying in the gazebo even on a fine day.

Recommendations for making curtains for gazebos from Baliyka:

1. Sewn curtain of special fabric, which holds the water, the wind. At the same time, it looks much more aesthetic banner material. Top do hem, eyelets or tabs.

2. Next, take the cable - 2-4mm necessarily in PVC sheath (not rust, does not stain the fabric, burrs will not be.) Is metered in size between the pillars. At the ends of a loop.

3. Buy self-tapping hooks. Better with a margin of safety.

4. Screw-in hooks at the half, at opposite poles.

5. We cling to a rope.

6. Dokruchivaem hooks to the cable tension as a string. And we get the finished result! Curtains can be easily removed, washed and clean.

To avoid rubbing of a rope in a place of contact with a hook, use a special ring for finishing loops.

And yet the walls gazebos can impose stone, as did the new posts with the nickname Simply Maria.

Or make a two-story gazebo-hill for example Antonio_Kotlasa. Where the first floor serves as a playground for children.

Or, combine the gazebo with a swimming pool.

Of particular interest are the pergolas, performed in the so-called natural or ethno style. This is what our users with the nickname yurrua,creating an arbor of the roughest logs under a thatched roof.

Yurrua (User FORUMHOUSE):

– As a further improvement of the infield, it was decided to make the gazebo under the reeds. In the early spring it was harvested 40 logs acacia different thickness from which the bark has been removed. But later it had to procure more about 30 logs of acacia and elm. With regard to the production of a sequence of actions a gazebo, you should:

• In the logs selected as pillars, the lower part is impregnated with used engine oil, covered by bitumen mastic and roofing material obvorachivaetsya.

When wood protection this method, be aware that the beam is greased all the way down under the ground + and end above the ground by 10-20 cm. And in each hole under the beam is made of drainage gravel.

• Logs connect between a self-tapping anchors.
• After you install the mount frame rafters.
• Bulrush stacked sheaves, wire shrinks and inciting.

See also the excellent furniture, made of brushed logs, which gives the design an original look antique.

Alexis1974(User FORUMHOUSE):

brushing process is that with the top layer a special timber with a brush - nozzle soft fibers are removed. As a result, on the surface of the wood structure emerges pronounced growth rings.

And what do you think of the gazebo, made in oriental style?

For example, Chinese furniture, made our user with the nickname IgorPee. And although the production of truss system for it was very tricky, the result exceeded all expectations.

IgorPee(User FORUMHOUSE):

- I was very puzzled by a curved roof gazebo, how to do it? Decided to collect the rafters and upper stud at the bottom of t. To. The top of it all customized unrealistic.

When assembling the rafters had to keep bending smooth. Rafters pergola that contains 5 parts, and added two more on top of the spacer with rounding. The three main planks were gashes in the spike (not dovetail) And 4 fixed together with pins 2 on each corner.

IgorPee:

- Next, I examine and raised on the details of all the top rafters, fixed on all the studs and lay a solid crate of the simulation beam. Then lay soft tile, inserted glass of solid polycarbonate. All parts are painted in two layers at once, and then is attached. Remains to be done on the bridge railings and lamps in the corners.

To summarize we can say that self-build gazebos creative process and the restrictions can not be here. And most importantly the end result depends entirely on you. After the construction of the gazebo starts with your dreams about it!
