A small paradise: recreation area in a small cottage

Saying "the case - time and fun - an hour" once had the opposite meaning: "the case - time and fun - an hour, "that is, things - chores, but also about the rest should not be forgotten, even in the midst of garden works. We are repeatedly told how to equip a relaxation area with a fireplace for proved or Pompeii oven, with a gazebo of the most daring dreams, expressing individuality and the spiritual master of addiction. But what if the plot size and total employment does not allow the owner to equip large gazebo and make complex furnace systems? Out of the situation it is possible, by making a "fast" is actually a mobile recreation area.

Canopy and cell walls

As often happens, a seating area on the site user FORUMHOUSE Denisov It came naturally. First, this place next to the house (size 5h4m) was inherited bathtub, covered with a door - it was a table. Then, over the table there was a tent, which stood on the ground, then made the floor, then a relaxation area began to look like in the pictures below. Furniture and cauldron with an oven constantly rearranged from place to place in search of the perfect.

Awning tent served three seasons, and it turned out that "pilaf with rain water - tasteless dish." The need for stationary canopy stood to his full height, and the seating area was supposed to be open, but at the same time, if necessary, to protect against possible rain. Denisov came up with such a cool thing: marginalia coupe. Sliding wall is made of polycarbonate sheet, moving along the guides. Usually it is in the walls of the house, and when the need arises, move and close the canopy.

Since the recreation area stands close to the house, the main concern was to protect the canopy from the possible disappearance of the snow from the roof of the house. For this purpose it was decided to make here are snow stop.

When a small area, recreation area is often located close to the house. In the first place, so clever and economical consumption of the available area, and secondly, so more opportunities to create at the same time inaccessible to prying eyes and at the same time in the summer open-roofed pergola, or even even without a roof. The main thing is to grill or stove do not stand too close to the house, and the walls are not soiled by smoke and soot.

Furniture for recreation areas

Equip the recreation area can be at any portion of the tiniest. However, in its planning must take into account the part of the world and the prevailing wind.

The perfect vacation spot in the garden should be located "back" to the prevailing winds.

This "spin", where possible, should be a blank wall. And as the gatherings are usually held in the evenings, it is necessary to think how to make the setting sun in the west is not blind eyes. And so - even a nook between the house and the garage can be transformed into a place for relaxation, quiet evening gatherings with B-B-Q and late breakfast on weekends. Our helpers are here: pergolas lattice, vertical flower beds, potted plants, mobile garden furniture, portable mini barbecues, tent, instead of a fixed roof. Instead of sun loungers and benches You can use the frameless furniture: on bean bags in the afternoon you can sunbathe by the pool and in the evening to sit in them by the fire.

These bags are quite simply make yourself. They stuffed polistriolom foam, which is sold in DIY stores. The main thing is that in the garden of life in this chair should be two cover upper - fabric with water-repellent.

Buying typical garden furniture - not the best testified to by our portal approach to the arrangement of the area: "All for a featureless, and the prices are not encouraging." Order something unique, or even better - with their own hands to create is unique, at least - low to repeat the idea of ​​well-known manufacturer - this is for Forumhouse-ski.

Irrena (User FORUMHOUSE):

If you take a tree in hand, and your soul is singing, what difference does it sell in the megastore.

However, neglect Closeouts not worth it, especially when it comes to recreation area in a small area.

So, skissa I bought on sale extendable garden table with a hole for an umbrella of eucalyptus (3000 rubles) and eucalyptus same table and two chairs for 2000. She believes that even if his hands made this pine furniture, would have cost more.

skissa (User FORUMHOUSE):

Order furniture makes sense if need one hundred percent exclusive, something very unusual, and therefore very expensive.

But at the same time, that this simple, on every corner now sells a set of table and benches to buy a sin - estimated members of the portal, buy boards, screws, and protective impregnation composition is much cheaper.

Yachting lacquer - not the best option for outdoor products, it is better in 2-3 layers process their protective structure like "Pinotex, BIOTEX" and the like.

Here it is the son FORUMHOUSE Member OnlyOn produced under his leadership, and his drawing.

OnlyOn (User FORUMHOUSE):

It's a pity such beauty on the damp ground put, here's son decided to build a "couch": four bars billets, tying four bars, and top - floor. Colored paint for the floor. Not bad.

zerok (User FORUMHOUSE):

Then he does not want to rain watered, and roll down an inclined into the construction.

Here's how to develop this idea of ​​a "table of the store":

Fyi He fulfilled his material left over from the construction of the gazebo, made massive and old.

legolas16 He developed the idea, adding a table with benches, a wooden canopy roof.

Bought at the store or make your own hands, furniture for a small seating area must be conducted according to our portal survey, convenient, easy to carry, resistant to rot, durable, durable, easy to clean, "and no flourishes to ease repainting. " Here is how this chair.

Furniture for rest of the building rests

After building a competitor FORUMHOUSE Snegoff  We were conditionally suitable for the production of furniture pallets, which are derived from two armchairs and a double sofa.

Snegoff (User FORUMHOUSE):

Pallet boards cut in half along the base and backrest. another third opilivaem for seats across. Billets kratsovkoy cleansed from dirt, and fin rot. I collected all on the screws using dyuymovka board for binding. Ready armchairs and a sofa covered in two layers BIOTEX.

None of the family members did not expect that the result will inspire further investment in this project. However, the furniture was bought foam (60 mm) and cloth covers. The most expensive in the cushions with removable covers with zippers was foam.

Coverage for recreation areas

Photos with furniture pallets can be seen that the ground is paved with old bricks, which also left over from construction. Most likely, for a long time it will not cover, but in the future station will still be planned and remade, but in the meantime "At least the season decided to spend as decent people." On the future site for the rest removed the turf, since the site has a slope, the area leveled by leveling instrument and leveling podsypku made of sand. The first rows of bricks laid on a shoestring. Wide joints explained depressing brick geometry: Butt he would exactly just failed to meet. Seams filled gartsovkoy (a mixture of lime and sand), the rest of the finishing works.

Beshanov He posted on his site "Red Square of clay bricks and pavers quartzite».

Beshanov (User FORUMHOUSE):

Scheme standard: digging a recess contour, down a film of 30 cm of sand and tamped. Then a border of cement, bricks and inside the bridge.

As a result, a small seating area on the red area under the canopy air under the pine trees, which fit only tea table, it will create a "Stay", serene mood.

In nency Playground for table, benches and barbecue (6x3 m) is made of unnecessary logs. The logs were cut into segments Venue 25 centimeters. Spila treated to protect against rotting waste mineral lubricating oil, were set on a sandy base and rammed sand and water. The project was implemented in six days almost "in one hand." A small pit was dug a small excavator. At the initial stage of this idea at all, including workers and neighbors, it is puzzling irony and laughter. Now everyone likes playground. When there is lawn grass planted between log kruglyashey, it will be even better. In addition, there are options to fill gaps or fine gravel screenings.

nency (User FORUMHOUSE):

I do not claim to recognition of his creation, but tiles, etc. Moscow bored. Especially portion of the forest, to urbanize a piece of wood - also not the best option.

If the construction of something more or less stationary in a recreation area totally seems like a waste of time and money, you can get a natural grass surface. The only thing, the grass should be as resistant to trampling: suitable Kentucky bluegrass, meadow fescue, etc. The relaxation area lawn is mowed every two weeks, and even more often.

Another option for a small site - put her turf. With regular watering grass accustomed pretty quickly.

Members FORUMHOUSE long been used as a coating for rest areas artificial turf. Furthermore the strength advantages of this material is that it can not firmly fix and take off for the winter or in the case of need.

mobile BBQ

What if the rest area does not have a stationary hearth? Out of this situation a lot, especially since mobile BBQ can deliver no less joy than luxury oven.

lme1979 (FORUMHOUSE User):

You cut in half along the Bulgarian welded four legs, and a grill is ready. And in the trunk of the car just comes.

For safety before cutting it is recommended to fill the tank with soapy water and leave it in for a while. You can also double rinse solution (10 liters of water + 1chaynaya spoon manganese).

Here's how you can improve a barbecue (made Pilligrimxxl):

uncle Vova made round brazier diameter of 0.5 meters. It happened "suddenly cool, surprisingly neighbors." And just to sit by the fire and on the grill meat and vegetables baked and kettle or pan put.

Or here's a good idea - the tandoor of flower pots. Invented and brought to life sandrovich. As manufactured, it is clear from the photo.

Such tandoor gives a lot of heat and it keeps for a long time, good cakes stick to the wall and baked through. If necessary cookware is placed on the stand for the grill out of the microwave.

Sometimes grill made of the fact that at hand is so good that it just do not want anything to change. Once upon a time Miterv adapted by a grill cabinet tool table: carved in the top drawer bottom, on average nasverlil holes, and thus lower drawer collects the ash. With extension of the lower box at a certain gap which is to control the cooking process.

Miterv (User FORUMHOUSE):

In-law in the country only for it and ready, but does not recognize the new that I brought and placed side by side.
