How to build a simple gazebo to give their own hands?

One of the main buildings in the country after the house and outbuildings is a gazebo. This is a place of rest from the city bustle and communication with nature.

Arbors for giving can be different, depending on the needs and on the possibilities. If the gazebo serves as a decoration of the site, then it is built thoroughly and elegantly, with a Russian or Finnish stove, with a fireplace, a barbecue or a brazier. But in most cases, an arbor needs an inexpensive one that you can build with your own hands. How it will look and what it will be made of depends on the taste and skills of the owner, as well as on the availability of the material.

The construction of the arbor consists of four main parts:

• sex;
• frame;
• roofs;
• finishing finish.

Arbor can be done:

• stationary - for it use concrete, brick, wooden beams, iron corners and pipes, slate;
• portable - PVC pipes, aluminum structures, polycarbonate, canvas awning can serve as material;
• collapsible - you can disassemble completely, and you can leave only the frame permanently;
• grown - for its creation they plant trees instead of a frame and climbers instead of walls and a roof.

To begin to choose a place where they will put a gazebo. It can be attached to a house, shed or fence, be in a secluded corner of the site, be a dividing structure between the courtyard and the garden or garden, be opposite the kitchen windows of the house or near the pool.

Then find out the composition of the soil: chernozem, sierozem, sandy, peaty, clayey. From this will depend on what sex is needed and whether it is needed at all. Then the material is chosen, from which the frame will be made, and the finishing finish. Drawings of the floor, frame and roof are made taking into account the size of the purchased material so that there will be a minimum of scraps.

The cost estimate is made and components are purchased: fasteners and tools.

Work begins with cleaning the site.With the help of roulette markup is done on the plan. For this purpose, pegs are driven into the ground, onto which a kapron thread is pulled. The marking is checked by a rope tied obliquely - the two diagonals must be equal.

If the ground is sandy, you need to remove the top fertile layer of the earth to the sand, and perimeter to fall asleep with the same sand. On such a pillow, you can simply put boards soaked in protective compounds. The service life of this floor is small, but it is easily replaced. As a rule, a well-impregnated and painted inch board on a sand pillow costs at least 5 years.

The perimeter with the harvested soil can be filled with fine gravel or lay out the floor plane with well-impregnated wooden stumps 10–15 cm thick. The stumps are filled with sand mixed with fine gravel.

If there is a natural stone in the area, in which one side is flat, then the floor can be laid out of it. Also suitable brick or paving slabs. You can lay them on the hartsovka (dry cement mortar), using a rubber mallet for leveling.

Along the perimeter, after cleaning the top layer of the earth, formwork from unedged board is put. It is simply inserted into the edges, and after the concrete has set, it is removed. For durability and strength, a cushion of gravel or sand is made in the prepared perimeter of the gazebo and is well rammed using water. Such a pillow will serve as a drainage.

Pegs are cut from iron fittings with a diameter of 8-10 mm and driven into the ground in 0.5-1 m for fasteners from the same fittings. The supports are tied with burnt wire. Prepare a standard solution of concrete: cement, sand, crushed stone in a ratio of 1/3/6. Perimeter is poured, tamped in the process of pouring to avoid air bubbles. If the gazebo is closed for use in the cold, you can make a warm cement floor. To do this, when mixing the solution instead of rubble add wood filings.

Filling the floor - a rather time-consuming process that requires a lot of time.It is much easier and faster to apply the column foundation. This is the most common type of stationary installation. They put a wooden floor on it, or it simply serves to fix the frame, and the floor can be anything.

For the columnar foundation uses a variety of raw materials.

• Asbestos-cement or metal pipes. You can use PVC pipes of large diameter. With the help of a construction drill, a hole is made at the location of the pillars of the frame and the pipe is fixed in it using the method of casting or pouring concrete. The bottom of the pipe is insulated with hot resin or bitumen mastic. A wooden log is driven into the center of the pipe, which will be the place for fastening the horizontal or vertical frame.

• Concrete. To do this, dig a hole around which the formwork is being constructed. For heaving soil, the depth of the pit should reach the level of soil freezing, otherwise the gazebo can "walk". Inside the frame is pre-assembled from iron reinforcement and poured with concrete. A threaded pin can be welded to the frame for fastening the outer frame.
• Brick. In this case, the pin is driven into the hole and lined with bricks.
• Handy materials. For example, you can apply used car tires. They are simply laid on a cleared horizontal piece of land and covered with sand. They are collected from a wooden beam horizontal frame around the perimeter of the gazebo, which is the basis for mounting the remaining parts of the gazebo.

For a person who knows how to handle a welding machine, it is easiest to make an arbor out of iron. To work, you will need the device itself, level, grinder and screwdriver. Such a frame is suitable for any roof. The material can serve as a used pipe, the corners of 30x30 or 50x50 mm, metal strips. It can be decorated with wrought spans. Polycarbonate, professional sheet, wood, PVC products can be easily attached to it.

The most simple summerhouse can be made from a common and accessible material - wood. It is easily processed and looks beautiful. It does not require special construction skills, therefore it is suitable to make an arbor quickly with your own hands. For the construction of the frame using rectangular bars, round timber and fasteners in the form of brackets, metal corners, nails and screws. For a carpenter masterYou can assemble such a building without a single nail. Sheathing such a frame is even easier than that made of metal. He will stand the roof of any material.

You can assemble the frame from any available material.For example, from plastic products. In plastic bottles, the bottom is cut and poles are collected, putting one bottle on the other. When assembling, you can use the Moment glue. If the roof is of medium gravity, then the installation tanks are gradually filled with sand to increase strength. Such pillars can just be dug into the ground. There is an option to lay out the whole wall in this way, tying the posts between each other with a nylon string.

Plastic pipes are also easily and quickly buried in the ground and filled with sand. For a massive roof, cement solution is poured into the interior of the pipe instead of sand.

For the frame fit and plastic commodity boxes. They are well inserted one into the other and are fastened together with soft wire or nylon string. They can also be used for the assembly of benches and tables.

By the materials at hand can be attributed, and ladders. If a gazebo is needed only on weekends, and work on the site using stepladders is not planned, they can be used as supports for a gazebo with a light roof. To do this, one tree growing on the site and two stepladders, or two trees growing side by side, and one stepladder are enough. The stepladder is installed with the help of rope struts with pegs, which are driven into the ground in the tension according to the principle of setting up a tent. The edge of a tarpaulin is tied to a tree and placed on ladders. Secure the canvas with a rope. This method is very simple, the structure is quickly assembled and disassembled.

If while clearing a plot you cut down several trees, they do not need to be immediately thrown away or burned. They are made charming support for the gazebo. To do this, the tree is cut as low as possible near the ground, small branches are removed, and an exclusive column is formed from thicker ones.You can install it on any floor, isolating the heel of the tree with roofing material or mastic. Depending on the state of the bark and wood, it is either removed or left and varnished.

Of course, the brick frame looks nice and secure. If a place in the village is chosen as a dacha, a house with an old stove often goes along with it, which is dismantled as useless. It is not necessary to throw out a brick, because a good gazebo will come out of it. True, for simple buildings this option is not suitable, but savings and good quality is guaranteed.

The top of the gazebo is covered in order to hide from the rain and from the sun's rays. The roof is light, moderate and heavy. For a light roof fit dense woven cloth, awnings, polyethylene. Frame to do for them is optional. The advantages of such structures is the simplicity and speed of installation, but the design and functionality leaves much to be desired.

For an easy stationary roof suitable materials of natural origin. It can be covered with reeds or small sheaves of hay, braid with hazel vines.A covering made from living climbers will protect well from sunlight and wind, but it will not help you from the rain.

The moderate severity of the roofs include stationary coatings.made with the use of lightweight materials such as roofing felt, polycarbonate, plastic slate, shingles. Most often it is shedding. For roofing material and tile need a full frame of the roof, and for plastic slate will need only guide logs. Polycarbonate has a size of 2.1x6 m, it is enough to fix it at the edges or partially. It is quite dense, but easily bends and cuts. The disadvantage of such roofs will be only the roar of raindrops.

Heavy roofs are a classic version of the roof. They do not belong to simple options, but such a roof will allow the use of a pergola year-round.

Arbor, grown with the help of climbers, only needs care and the formation of plants. A simple gazebo may not need any additional design at all - just enough four pillars of a canopy, bench and table.

The gazebo can be decorated with carvings on wooden details or forged patterns on metal.Another decor option - bright sunny colors gazebos.
