Arbour to give hands - step by step instructions with drawings and dimensions

What the country needs a gazebo - no need to explain.Although, if only because everyone has their own views on where and how to relax.But the fact that for children it will be a great place pastime - fact.

This guide will help you build a gazebo with your hands.Consider the whole process step by step, and to begin with, what materials to choose for the building.

Materials

• Metal.
• Polycarbonate.
• Wood.

All the rest - stone, concrete - to give is not very suitable, given the modest size of the site, and that the owners come back, usually only in the season and on weekends.

Type gazebo

• Open.
• closed.
• intermediate option.

Do glazing or not - to the discretion of the owners.But it aggravates the entire structure.

Form

• Square.
• Rectangle.
• Circle.
• polygons (normally, the number of faces 6 or 8).

Features of the construction of the gazebo

foundation type

Any suburban area is characterized by an abundance of space and shortage of space.Strip foundations (even melkozaglublenny) mounted impractical.First, it would require quite substantial costs (primarily on cement), and secondly, to have to deal with earthworks erected around the perimeter of the construction, the batch solution reinforcement.At a modest patch to do all this is extremely inconvenient.Consider the feasible options.

Bruce

Under it enough to dig a shallow (10 - 15 cm trench).It is enough to eliminate the horizontal displacement of the building materials.For more reliable their fixation is easy to drill holes and hammer the metal pins of the large valve.Naturally, the timber to be processed further.The best option - a comprehensive (antiseptic impregnation + coating of tar, including the ends).After such a preparation timber lasts for a long time.

Poles

This option is more rational, as it is necessary to dig a few holes.What to use?Beam (with pretreatment), pipes (metal or asbestos).In the latter case - with the reinforcement rod (not less than 4 pieces) and grouting.With such a solution will have to think about how to strengthen the pillars supporting structure.If metal pipes have to be welded end walls (plates).For a simpler solution of asbestos - in the middle, in a solution to place the probe.

frame

believed that the easiest option - made of wood.It is easy to handle and fasten the individual elements.The disadvantage is that its working life is limited.And almost before each season gazebo will have to paint again.

In terms of practicality more convenient design, which is assembled from metal (even plastic) pipes and polycarbonate.In this case, the winter arbor can be easily removed, hence no need ruggedized to withstand the weight of snow layers.And with side light to be no problem - using the same plastics sheets.And considering the variety of their color, in terms of decorating the gazebo difficulties will not arise.

This link is available with the specifics of the construction of a canopy made of polycarbonate, and between his design and pergola no difference in principle (only in the shape and dimensions).

main stages of

Regardless of the design and the materials chosen, there are common aspects in the construction of the gazebo, where we focus our attention, explaining some points.

schemes and sizes

is focused on someone's ready drawings is hardly reasonable.Dacha garden furniture is not as complicated structure, it is impossible to choose its optimal parameters.In addition, each site is distinguished by its specificity.But for those with even simple mathematical calculations cause certain difficulties, we give some examples.

Layout and site preparation

If the first all clear, then with respect to the second event must be an explanation.On the "patch", intended for the construction of the gazebo, you need to remove the top layer of soil (about 10 cm).For what?Firstly, to the construction of a grass did not germinate.Second, if this is not done, under the floor will gradually accumulate moisture.But the presence of the gazebo and the constant smell of rot hardly anyone satisfied.And on the structural elements of this will affect not the best way.

At this stage, after cutting the required reservoir sufficient to tamp pad.After the foundation of everything it is already decided whether or not to fill the place of river sand, fine gravel or crushed stone.But it later.

Foundation

Features selection of the type indicated.It is only necessary to clarify that consideration should be given a waterproofing of structural elements.For cottage construction is fine or roofing material, or p / e film.
