Pergola, gazebo it is: we build with their own hands

Pergola - one of the most popular buildings in areas FORUMHOUSE users. It helps to unify the garden space into one and make it a logical and correct, because pergola that is generally mounted on the boundary of different regions, such as garden and decorative garden. In this review, we will tell you about the good options pergolnyh designs, what materials to use in the construction, how to make the grid than to cover the details.

Classical pergola - a latticed roof on poles. Its main purpose - to give shade, so it is important to climbing plants completely covered roof it. Sometimes doing a grid back wall, which also delayed the plants. Strictly speaking, this is not quite pergola and shed. Make pergola, usually made of wood, although in recent years have been used metal tubes on a concrete base. It is important that the pergola was in keeping with the house and the other objects of the site, paving, etc. - from there and the choice of material.

The width of the pergola should be slightly greater than the height. Low construction will be cramped, high seems unstable. By the way, the design should be really strong: the fact that, although the creepers on the kind of light they give a greater load on the poles, especially in windy conditions. Therefore, wooden poles or concreted, or make the perimeter pergolas brickwork and columns are fixed on the metal brackets. Paul can be made of any material, but many prefer the deck board. Walking barefoot on the sun-warmed wood - one of those pleasures for which we love summer.

Alekss (User FORUMHOUSE):

With regard to sex: I venture to offer the option of the deck boards. Planks with small bevel on the edges are placed with a gap of 10-15 mm. Reason - the same board, only laid on edge. Pre-treat with antiseptic good, of course.

consultant FORUMHOUSE Matilda she came up with the design and location of your pergola. It is difficult to obtain a multifunctional space where you can lie in a hammock, have dinner, take guests to work at a laptop. By pergola such demands: should turn freely, but on the one hand protected from the wind with a hammock and a barbecue, beautiful and durable.

In the first stage of building a pergola in the ground dug seven pillars (150h100 and 150x150). Corners strengthened those that are planned to hang the hammocks. Under the pillars were dug meter pit (can be deeper, just on the rocky plot Matilda no longer vyroesh). That part of the poles, which is buried in the ground, pre-impregnated and wrapped mastic special waterproofing. Pits filled with concrete. Laid top transverse crossbar (150h100). All secured areas. On the bar every 40 centimeters laid "board-like rafters" (150h50). From the remnants of boards made an unplanned but very cute little bar.

The wall, which, according to the Matilda, then drags the girl's grapes and will be protected from wind, stitched diagonal wooden strips. At this point, Mathilde finally disillusioned with the workers, who are hired for the construction of pergolas and lattice made herself their skilful female hands. Now in its arsenal of three successful lattice made a little differently.

Consider both manufacturing technology lattice detail.

• Far number of rods fastened with screws directly to the base. Between adjacent proximal base rails and trim strips enclose - thus the thickness was increased. Between a river fastened with short screws in areas of overlap. Part swirled inside out, and some - on the front side.
• The second row of slats made from the inside. In this case it is necessary to withstand the maximum precision angle and size. Reiki attached only to the first row on each overlap.

When Matilda twists the screws, rails are not cracked. But then, when she decided to do from the remnants of a portable grill racks - screen, she was faced with this problem.

Blackk (User FORUMHOUSE):

To rails and boards are not cracked when screwing screws, FORUMHOUSE experts recommend ream drill hole with the same diameter as the diameter of the central portion of the screw. For prevention of battens and boards from cracking when driving in of nails used antiquated old method. Before you drive a nail close to the edge (a dangerous place in terms of cracking), it must be blunt. Put the nail on the ax and stone, and tap it with a hammer. The tip of the nail slightly blunts, and rail does not crack.

It does not crack because the blunt nail crushes wood fibers rather than split. I use this technique since childhood, his father taught.

Now for the lattice wall planted pergolas Matilda maiden grapes, between two pillars on the other hand spun semicircular fence on the stakes of substandard purchased for pennies cuttings shovels (pins inserted in the pipe pieces hammered in the ground).

All edges of the fence and the top rod affixed with screws that are practically invisible. We put the fence BBQ, under the apple tree between two pillars hung a hammock. Under the roof put "unkillable" table. Given that he was in the summer and winter have to stand in the open air, countertop made of two plastic window sills and the old metal base was Matilda since time immemorial - and finally found him application. Even between two poles made bar horizontal bar.

The finished pergola can be covered, for example, urethane varnish for boats (not less than three layers). It is necessary to paint every detail of the pergolas separately before assembly. The thinner the layer of lacquer and the more layers, the better. To varnish was really waterproof, it is necessary to close all the pores through which the inside of timber, water may enter. Therefore, wood is better not to paint and varnish - then the water will come out just as entered, - the paint and varnish anyhow. Caught in a poorly dyed wood, water is trapped there, the wood quickly begins to rot and decompose. This caution user FORUMHOUSE Just a Ded, Which 15 years cabinetmaker.

In this photo, by the way, pergola made Just a Ded 10 years ago. In winter, the master removes it in the room because "outdoor operating conditions are not comparable with the conditions indoors. Under the combined action of the sun and the water can not withstand even the stones. "
