Metal arbors for giving: types of designs

People come to the cottage not only in order to engage in a garden or garden all day. At a country site you can enjoy nature, take a break from the city bustle, relax in friendly company. Some people prefer to install metal gazebos on their plots to give: these are wonderful places for recreation, which have many advantages. It is necessary to understand the types of such structures and the features of their use.

Metal gazebo for giving you can make yourself or buy in finished form.This design will in any case have many advantages (of course, if you chose high-quality materials and approached its creation with the utmost seriousness).

Consider the main advantages of such structures, which are noted by many owners of suburban areas.

• Ease of installation. You can create a structure from a metal profile and carry out its installation in 24 hours (if you are familiar with the features of the installation work).
• Low weight. Arbor on the metal frame is especially well suited in the event that the soil in your territory is heaving and does not differ in stability. Installation of this design can be carried out without a foundation. It can be portable or stationary.
• Long service life. If the care of the metal will be regular and correct, it is possible that the gazebo will stand for many years.

• Strength. Rectangular, square, round metal profiles are very sturdy. Breaking or damaging such products is quite difficult (both during use and during installation).
• The ability to combine metal products with other materials.
• Resistant to insects, rodents, fungus or mold. Iron products do not rot.
• Undemanding to external conditions, ease of use. It is as simple as possible to care for such gazebos: you only need to regularly apply to them compounds that prevent the occurrence of corrosion. So that the structural elements do not rust, you can apply paint on them.

• Fire resistance In the metal gazebo, it will be possible to install a brazier without fear that the structure will catch fire.
• A large number of possible designs. You can not purchase a finished product, but order a non-standard individual project.
• Acceptable price.
• Neat appearance.

However, metal gazebos have disadvantages. Such material does not differ heat-insulating properties. But this disadvantage is not very important, because summerhouse gazebos are usually used in the summer. When the metal is exposed to sunlight, it heats up, but excessive heating can be avoided by setting the structure under the trees (a shadow will fall on it). To get a refreshing coolness and shade, you can plant climbing plants near the gazebo.

Usually such arbors are created on the basis of metal frame. Such designs are prefabricated at the corners or welded. In order to attach the roof, a truss system is attached to the frame.

Most often, to create the frame used profile tube. If the size of the building is very significant, you can choose a welded from a channel frame as a base. Installation work is usually carried out as quickly as possible. The creation of simple welded structures often takes several hours.

Many dacha owners prefer lightweight construction., which are used to create prefabricated frames made of iron or aluminum. You can use the curtain wall, awning roof. At the present time on the market there are many small and large structures in the form of tents. Structures are multifaceted, but square, rectangular shapes are more common.

Forged design can be absolutely any, depending on the imagination of customers. Modern masters can create whole ships, carriages, use openwork curlicues to decorate the arbor.

Some choose metal-plastic constructions for their summer cottages. They are collapsible. Such structures are created from a steel profile on which a thick layer of PVC is applied, as well as a composition that prevents the occurrence of corrosion. These surfaces are very resistant to temperature changes, moisture, the effects of fungi, rodents, rotting.

Before mounting the metal-plastic structure, care must be taken to carefully prepare the surface where the gazebo will be installed. It is recommended to stop the choice on the slab or column foundation.

Today, there are many design options arbors of metal. You can easily choose just such a design that fits perfectly into the overall design of your site. Even the usual design will be very beautiful if you add to it, for example, additional wrought openwork elements.Can be used to decorate arbors and other materials, such as wooden lattices or stone pillars.

Metal can be given a variety of forms, because such a material has a high ductility. It is processed by welding. So you can get a curvilinear shape, multi-faceted structures, structures of round or rectangular shape.

Arbors from metal are usually distinguished by grace and aesthetics. However, you need to take the design decoration as seriously as possible - only in this case, it will become a unique highlight of your site.

First, you will need to prepare the project of construction for the garden, which consists of several components.

• Scheme, focusing on which you will create a foundation. If the building is small, it is usually stopped on a columnar foundation. It will be necessary to take care of the creation of supports in the middle of the structure and at the corners.
• Drawing showing the dimensions of the structure, as well as the location of the pillars or load-bearing walls.
• Sketch designs (you can find an image on the Internet or draw a gazebo yourself).
• Plan for the territory you belong to, where the construction site will be marked. To avoid unnecessary problems during construction work, also mark trees and other structures that are located on the site.

To create a drawing or sketch, you can use a special computer program. This is very convenient, because you can see everything from any angle.

When creating a gazebo, try to consider which side most often the wind blows., and choose the most convenient position of the structure (so that the entrance is located where it blows less often). So you will provide comfort for yourself, your loved ones and guests.

Many owners of summer plots choose the size of the gazebo 3x3 meters. It is considered one of the most suitable for such structures. In such a gazebo, you can easily accommodate family members or a small company. 4x4, 3x4 variants are also popular.

If you are going to start installation work, you should apply an anti-corrosion agent on all metal surfaces. If the need arises, it will be possible to paint the metal structure.When building a large and complex in shape stationary bower will need to create a foundation.

Before installation, prepare the following:

• steel rods;
• paint for metal surfaces;
• metal profile;
• sand, cement and crushed stone;
• plating material.

To make installation work easier and faster, use these tools:

• door with drills, screwdriver;
• pipe bender;
• a device for welding;
• shovel (it will be needed to prepare the foundation).

From the site provided for the gazebo, you will need to remove pollution, various debris. Then with a shovel dig a hole for the base. There will need to pour about 50 mm of sand. Tamp it and pour water. Then you should install the formwork with reinforcing mesh.

If the foundation is columnar, you will have to dig a few holes. (in the middle of the gazebo and in the corners). The pillars can be monolithic-concrete, made of asbestos pipes, blocks, brick elements. Pour gravel and sand on the bottom of all the pits. Then it will be necessary to pour concrete and install rebar rods, since you will tie the frame of the structure to them. Install the frame on the foundation. Scald the poles with strings (you will need two rows).

Then you will need to install a truss system. It can be wooden or metal. To make it more convenient for you, create such a system on the ground, and not on the roof. Then install it on top of the structure. When all the elements of the construction have been installed, engage in the wall covering of the structure and work on the roof.

The construction of the profile pipe.

Some people prefer to use tile coverings or cobblestones for cladding metal structures.

Iron gazebo can look very solid.

Indoor and outdoor facilities.

Forged structures always look very interesting.

Skilled craftsmen can translate into reality very complex design projects. These gazebos have high prices, but the result is worth the money spent.
