A gazebo is an integral attribute of modern suburban areas. Where else, if not in the gazebo, can you relax and breathe? fresh air, admire your garden. Since the gazebo is a light structure, in some ways, even airy, the scope for creativity when constructing a gazebo opens up limitless. But everything should be in moderation, as they say - without fanaticism. The design of the gazebo should correspond to the general spirit and style that reigns in the suburban area. Of course, the gazebo in the shape of a Chinese pagoda is very beautiful. But then, to match it, you will have to build a rock garden around it so that it is a complete composition, and the pagoda-shaped gazebo does not discord with the surrounding environment.

An important element is the size of the gazebo. And here we must proceed from the principle of proportionality. The smaller the garden, the more elegant and lighter the gazebo design should be. In some cases, a lightweight collapsible design can be used.
The location of the gazebo also plays a big role. If you install it in the sun, you won't get much pleasure. Optimal location gazebos are a place next to trees, or under the canopy of trees, which will provide coolness. A good option The location of the gazebo is its installation next to a body of water, natural or artificial. And it is advisable that the place for the gazebo be chosen in a place where there are no sources of noise.

Classification of gazebos

Gazebos are classified according to different criteria. Gazebos are divided into stationary and portable. Stationary gazebos include gazebos built on a foundation, which makes them difficult to move from place to place, and built from durable materials. Portable gazebos are lightweight, mostly collapsible structures that are installed in places where it is necessary in this moment.
Gazebos are classified according to the type of material from which they are made. The most commonly used material is wood. Metal is also used in the construction of gazebos. In this case, metal gazebos are divided into forged and welded.
Stone, both natural and artificial, and concrete are also used for the construction of gazebos. These are massive structures that are rarely seen.
Gazebos are divided into open and closed. Outdoor gazebos include mushroom gazebos, tent gazebos and pergolas. Mushroom gazebos are used by site owners who do not want to clutter their site with unnecessary structures. Tent gazebos are a structure consisting of a table, chairs or benches and covered with an awning on top. Pergolas are special designs, intended for growing climbing plants. They have a strong base and are designed to withstand wind loads. Pergolas come in a variety of shapes - round, multifaceted, linear, fan-shaped.

Closed gazebos are a type of terrace. Such gazebos are usually glazed, often insulated, heat is supplied to them or they are used internal heating. In such gazebos the winter cold is not scary either.

In addition, gazebos are divided according to the type of roof used. On gazebos, spherical roofs are used, domed, single-slope and gable, hip (four-slope), hipped, pseudo-Chinese.

Gazebo with grill or barbecue

It will not be an exaggeration to say that all people living or traveling on holiday suburban areas and dachas, they really like to cook food outdoors. And the main dish, which is especially often prepared in this case, is fried meat. These are shish kebab or steaks made from meat or fish, cooked on a barbecue. It would seem, what is the difficulty here? Place the grill in the gazebo and talk with friends while the barbecue is being prepared. But this decision is fundamentally wrong. It will be inconvenient to talk, and it will be inconvenient to monitor the grill. Most gazebos are built based on healthy minimalism, and are designed to accommodate a table, chairs or benches. AND extra space They usually don't. In addition, smoke from burning wood or coal will remain in the gazebo, and no one will get any pleasure from it.
To avoid these inconveniences, it is necessary, even at the design stage of the gazebo, to provide for the placement of a barbecue and a hood. It would seem that everything is obvious, but such thoughts come when the gazebo has already been built. How to get out of this situation? One option is to build an additional extension to the gazebo, but in such a way that the design of the gazebo does not deteriorate, and place a barbecue with a hood in this extension. Thus, we sort of divide the gazebo into two zones - a recreation area and work area. In this case, it increases Fire safety, and eliminates the possibility of burns to guests from a nearby barbecue.
If you want to build stationary grill made of brick, then when building a gazebo, it is necessary to provide for the construction of a foundation for the barbecue, since the floor, in this situation, will no longer be a reliable support. In addition, you will need a place to store firewood or charcoal, for fireplace accessories, and shelves for other accessories.

Polycarbonate gazebos

IN Lately appeared on the market new material, gaining increasing popularity among owners of summer cottages and suburban areas. This new material is called cellular polycarbonate. It has outstanding physicochemical and mechanical characteristics, which ensure its popularity. Polycarbonate is a very durable material (10 times higher than plexiglass), transmits sunlight well, while providing protection from ultraviolet radiation, resistant to aggressive chemicals, provides excellent sound and heat insulation, and can withstand extreme temperatures without changing its properties: from -50 to +125 degrees Celsius. And, what is very important for summer residents, it can be processed perfectly without breaking.
Below are several examples of the use of polycarbonate in summer cottages and suburban areas.

Building a gazebo with your own hands (1 option)

Next we will talk about the construction wooden gazebo, measuring 3 by 3 meters. After determining the location of the gazebo and marking the territory, the foundation of the future gazebo is built. You can learn more about the types of foundations from the article “Types of foundations for building construction”
In this case, a columnar foundation made of bricks was used. All pillars are displayed on the same level. Iron rods with a diameter of 10 mm are mounted in four corner posts. Their height is approximately 200 mm.

The finished foundation looks like this.

Beams measuring 100x100 mm make the base of the gazebo. At the junction points, the beams are fastened “half-wood”. First, holes are drilled in the beams for attachment to iron pins.

Don't forget about waterproofing between the foundation and the beams. A piece of roofing felt is quite suitable as insulation.

Then pillars are made from 100x100 mm beams. Their height is 2.3 m. They are processed with an electric planer. Before installation, a cut is made in the middle of the post for future diagonal strapping. The cut size is 40 width x 80 height x diagonally through the post. (for use in tying 40 mm boards with a width of 100 mm)

Holes are drilled at the lower ends of the posts for attachment to the rods. After this, the pillars are aligned vertically and secured with temporary struts. Additionally, they can be secured with screws to the base beams.

The intersection of the boards can be reinforced with 40x40 mm bars.

At the edges of the bundle, a part of the board is selected with a size of 20 mm in height and 100 mm from the edge of the board.

Then the diagonal strapping is inserted into the cuts and secured with nails to the ends of the pillars.

After this, the external tying of the pillars is done.

The roof of the gazebo is supposed to be hipped. A block 80 cm long (roof height) is cut from a 100x100 mm beam, in which a cut is made into which the first two rafters will be inserted.

After this, the post with the rafters is installed so that the post rests on the middle of the diagonal tie, and the rafters rest on the vertical posts. The rafters extend beyond the gazebo to a distance of 40-50 cm. The rafters are secured with 200 mm nails or screws. After this, two other diagonal rafters are fixed. They are attached to the post with an overlay.

Then the rafters are fixed, which lie on the outer frame of the pillars. Secure with nails and screws.

To make the entrance, two columns 90 cm high are prepared from 100x100 mm timber, in which a hole is drilled in the lower end.

Pieces of reinforcement are driven into the lower beam, pre-sharpened onto which bars are placed.

Then the short railings of the gazebo, located on the side of the entrance to it, are attached to the bars with screws.

After this, the roof sheathing is done.

For the pillars of the gazebo, stationary struts are made from 40x70 mm timber. They are secured with screws, and the temporary struts are removed.

From the entrance side, the struts are made crosswise to strengthen the short railings and low posts. At the intersection, the struts are connected “half-tree”.

To enhance bearing capacity gazebos, between the lower beam and the railings, and between the railings and rafters, additional posts are installed. The entrance is also strengthened. The result is this.

Then 30x40 blocks are nailed under the railing and onto the lower beam, to which the lining will be attached.

The lining is nailed to the bars, both outside and inside.

After this, the roofing material is laid. Yes, don’t forget to treat the surface with a moisture-repellent impregnation. This will prevent the formation of mold and rotting of the wood. As a roofing material, you can offer soft tiles or any other roofing material.

You can learn more about the variations of roofing materials in the section "Roofing Materials".
At the top of the gazebo (from the railing to top harness pillars) Decorative sheathing is made. In addition to its purely decorative function, it strengthens the structure of the gazebo.

It will also be possible to launch along this grate climbing plants. Then the pediment is installed, which is attached to the rafters.

All surfaces must be treated with stain or other moisture-repellent composition. This can be done both as the gazebo is being built and after its construction is completed. And now the gazebo is ready.

Do-it-yourself gazebo with entrances from the end, with benches and a table (option 2)

This type of gazebo is the most common. It is often offered for sale on various construction markets. This is an option when you have a canopy over your head, benches are attached to the walls, there is a sun in the middle, and there are two entrances (exits) to the sides.

First we assemble the frame. Initially, you can install spacers technological ties, they can be removed later...

And sheathing for corrugated sheets

attach the corrugated sheet to the sheathing

Naturally on both sides

This is the view. Now the technological ties can be removed.

We are starting to make benches.

Now the table

Everything needs to be sanded from skidding and unevenness... Without automated tools it won’t be easy.

That's general form the resulting gazebo. All that remains is to cover it with paintwork, which imparts color and protective properties.

Now next option making a gazebo.

Do-it-yourself gazebo from ready-made modules (option 3)

An example of this gazebo is modular design. In fact, the floor and walls are made in the form of panels that are assembled. Rafters are mounted on them, flexible tiles. In the end, a porch is made. More on all this below.
First of all, this gazebo requires modules - shields. They consist of a platform with windows at a certain height (3 pieces) and one module with an entrance door.

The edges of the modules are attached to a beam that will be installed vertically. There is also a modular, assembled floor.

In fact, the floor is the base of the gazebo installed on a columnar foundation. Let's start with the foundation. We install pillars from bricks or pour them from concrete.

Then we fill them up sand cushion and let it sit.

Next, we install the floor and beams at its corners. We install the floor through insulating material so that it does not pick up water from the stone. The boards can also be pre-treated with a corrosive compound. Between the vertical bars coming from the floor we place walls - shields.

Now you need to install the rafters on the roof.

We put boards on the rafters. In our case, the gazebo will be covered soft tiles, so the boards are mounted close to each other.

We cut off excessively protruding rafters after installing the roof boards

Now it's the turn of the tiles. We unfold it and fasten it on four sides.

You can also do small stairs, for ease of access to the height of the gazebo floor

We treat all visible parts with stain and varnish. Our summerhouse from modules is ready.

DIY hexagonal gazebo (option 4)

And we will consider one more option for the gazebo. This time the gazebo has a hexagonal base. As always, it all starts with the foundation. In our case, it is completely “none”. It is preferable to make at least a columnar foundation at each corner of the gazebo floor.

We assemble the hexagon at the base. The timber is best secured with a tongue-and-groove connection.

Place a floorboard on the floor.

We install vertical bars at the corners of the floor

We connect them from above with rafters and ceilings.

We make a sheathing for the corrugated sheet that will cover the roof of the gazebo

We install corrugated sheets and ridges on the roof bends

Let's take on the railings. We mount the lintels from below and above, and nail the railing boards onto them.

We clean up the trash. If necessary, we do small porch made of bricks or boards.

The hexagonal gazebo for the dacha, where you can spend time pleasantly and carefree, is ready!

Photos of gazebos for an example of construction

If you are planning to do open gazebo with a swing and a fireplace, then we also have this option"

Hi all!

If you want to build on your garden plot a beautiful and simple gazebo, but you don’t know where to start, maybe this article will help you.

Before you begin construction, you need to decide what your gazebo will look like. There are a lot of options for such designs. This and closed gazebos, and open, square and polygonal, single or gable, hipped and spherical, small and large, with or without a stove, made of brick, wood or metal, glass or polycarbonate.

Option 1.

Option 2.

Option 3.

Option 4.

Option 5.

As you can see, various types there are a lot of gazebos. Therefore, it is necessary to choose for yourself the most best option, which would meet your needs and capabilities.

Below, we will look at how to build a simple garden gazebo made of wood with your own hands. For example, let's take another beautiful option:

Before starting construction, you will need to draw a sketch with all dimensions, taking into account the type of roof. Therefore, instead of a single-pitched one, you can make a gable or square one.

According to the sketch made, we purchase required material in the required quantity.

When everything is ready, you can begin construction. Since the gazebo is stationary and quite bulky, it is necessary to make a foundation for it.

We start by marking the perimeter in the chosen location using pegs and rope.

After this, we dig a hole 90 cm, fill it with sand or stones and fill it with solution.

In advance, before the concrete has hardened, we install anchors for fastening vertical racks. After the foundation has completely dried, we first attach the racks themselves.

Having installed the racks, we assemble the frame itself. We start doing it from the bottom trim. To do this, we use a wooden beam, laying it every 40-50 cm. After this, we install all the other frame racks, which should hold the upper trim and the roof. The number of such racks depends on the size of the gazebo.

Once the frame is ready, you can cover the floor with boards. You can attach it to the sheathing using both nails and self-tapping screws.

The next stage of construction is installing the roof. To do this, we first make the top trim. The material for it will be timber, which is attached to the supports with bolts or nails. For greater strength, you can use corner fastening.

The roof itself is made depending on the chosen shape. Basically this is a one, two or hip roof. If you decide to do hipped roof, then the installation of its rafters will be slightly different from that for a gable roof. The main rafters are attached in pairs, and for the strength of the structure, you can also add auxiliary ones, which are attached both to the top frame and to the main rafters.

After this, we sheathe the roof with the selected roofing material, and also sew up the gazebo itself as provided in the sketch.

DIY gazebo from scrap materials

Good gazebos are made not only from building materials, but also from scrap materials. The main thing is that there is desire and imagination. And what is the material at hand? In general, we can say that this is all that is no longer any good. This includes construction waste and old window frames, plastic bottles and much more that sometimes litters a summer cottage. Of course, using such waste you still cannot do without special building materials. However, a gazebo built in this way will be much more original, such as these

If there are a lot of unnecessary tree trunks on your site that you just can’t get rid of, then they can also be used.

Quite original products are obtained from plastic bottles. This “good” is enough to even build a house out of them.

You don’t have to bother with building materials at all, but use climbing plants for the gazebo.

Finding croakers and old dry logs will probably not be difficult. A gazebo made from this material looks quite good.

If there is a pond near you and a lot of reeds grow on it, then it can also be used to create a gazebo.

In general, there are many options, if only you have the desire, as they say. Even an old car that will never run again can work too.

Gazebo made from a profile pipe for a summer residence (photos and drawings)

The metal structure is the most common after the wooden one. Typically, a profile pipe and polycarbonate are used for its construction. But you can also sheathe it with wood.

As with the construction of any other gazebo, you need to start with a drawing. For construction from profile pipe it has important also because you indicate in the drawing the dimensions according to which you will subsequently have to cut the material.

Quite simple and simple design such a gazebo is rectangular shape dimensions 2x3 m. It is not so bulky, and you can easily install a table and several chairs or benches in it.

The difference in building a gazebo from profile pipes compared to other materials is the set the necessary tool. You will need to have welding machine, level, grinder, drill bits and fasteners.

The foundation is not solid, but holes are dug according to the number of supports. The hole will need to be dug to a depth of 60 centimeters. For supports you can use a profile of 80x80 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm. It is necessary to weld the support heels to the racks, which will increase the rigidity of the structure.

Crushed stone is poured into the dug holes, then stands are placed and filled with concrete. At the same time, it is necessary to check the verticality of the racks as the concrete hardens.

After the foundation has hardened, it is done bottom harness. It uses a profile of a smaller cross-section than for racks. It must be welded to the supports at a certain height above the ground level. A rafter system is also created from the profile. At gable roof it is welded at an angle of 15 degrees. To make it easier to fasten the roofing material, you can make a sheathing from the pipe in increments of 45 cm.

If you want to do more complex shapes gazebos, you need to be patient, as the process will be more labor-intensive.

But if you are determined to achieve results, then no difficulties will stop you. A self-made gazebo will delight not only you, but also your guests.

We continue the series of articles about self-construction gazebos It is clear that the structure on a summer cottage can be erected from various materials: wood, metal, stone, brick. The design, durability and functionality of the structure depend on its choice. This article will provide instructions that will help you build a gazebo in your country house with your own hands. In this case, it is enough to allocate only a few days, provided that you have the necessary set of tools and a little experience.

Making a gazebo from scrap materials (self-made drawing)

Erect summer construction for relaxing in the garden, it is possible not only from standard materials, but also from improvised means. For example, beautiful and robust design obtained from ordinary wooden pallets. Before construction work they must be thoroughly cleaned, repaired if necessary and further strengthened.

If you treat wooden elements with special protective equipment, then the gazebo will last for many years.

The structure made from pallets will be environmentally friendly and will also be in perfect harmony with the overall design of the garden plot. Before constructing a structure, you need to decide on the type of material at hand.

Euro pallet

Finnish pallet

American pallet

They all differ in size, except for the height, which is 145 mm.

The design of the project depends only on your imagination. Some craftsmen build quite decent buildings from wooden pallets.

When you decide on the architecture of the future building, you need to draw up a project on paper or in computer program. If possible, it is recommended to use the services of professionals and order a gazebo design for them. summer cottage. For example, you can take the drawing shown below:

If the project is ready, then construction of the foundation should begin. First of all, you need to decide on the type of foundation: it can be a light foundation, a complex one, or a pile structure.

Even under poor natural weather conditions and soil quality, it is recommended to install metal pipes around the perimeter. In this case, the work will last several days longer, since cement mortar will have to harden completely. This will take about two weeks.

On next stage preparing pallets. It is necessary to lay out a base of wooden beams, which are secured to the base with anchors.

It is recommended to use pallets good quality so that they can withstand the load of the roof. The rafter system can be fixed after installing all the walls or after installing the support beams. The roof can be made from flexible roofing, polycarbonate or slate. Floors must be treated with a special product to avoid rotting and fungus.

After this, all that remains is to install electricity and arrange the furniture. This construction can be completed within one day. The approach to the resting place in the garden plot can also be made from pallets, after first sprinkling the path with sand to drain the water. With a barbecue, the building will be not only a place of relaxation, but also a summer kitchen.

Gazebo at the dacha made of metal. Instructions on how to make (build) a gazebo with your own hands

Metal is good material, which will last a long time, will give good view structure, and also allows you to build a structure of any shape.

Important! To carry out the work, experience with a welding machine is required.

First you need to develop your own drawing, or use ready-made solutions. If you have certain skills, you can create a project yourself. The main thing is to take into account all the dimensions and design of the future building.

An example of a metal gazebo project is below:

First you need to decide on the location of the future gazebo, and then begin work. The site should be in a place where there are no strong winds and sunlight. This is very important to note for a place to stay.

First of all, you need to prepare the foundation.

For the guides of the vertical posts, metal parts will also be needed.

After which they begin welding work, and guide posts are installed. To strengthen it, it is necessary to weld intermediate metal profiles.

Drawings and photos of gazebos for a summer residence with your own hands

To make it clearer, let’s look at drawings and photographs of what you can do with your own hands.

But what can be made from these drawings, look below and comment.

These are the kind of designs that anyone can make, given their desire and ability.

Gazebo made from a profile pipe for a summer residence

First of all, you need to decide on the material.

The frame is complex design, so it is recommended to stick to the scheme. It also needs to include material consumption. Take about 10% more for defects and exceptions to the schedule.

The beginning of work begins with the vertical guides; they need to be checked using hangers or building level. The posts must be strong enough to support the load rafter system future roof.

Vertical posts must be securely fastened to the base; for this it is recommended to use anchors.

The roofing device is complex process. It all depends on the length of the racks. But if you decide to do pitched roof, then there shouldn't be any problems. It is better to entrust the calculation of the load to a professional, but you can do without it.

Important! All metal structures must be protected from corrosion. Therefore, the parts must be coated with special protective agents.

Metal gazebo with polycarbonate

Pros of polycarbonate

• Impact resistance.
• Lightproof.
• Withstands temperatures -40-+115 degrees.
• Easy processing.
• Minimum weight of the structure.

Attaching the sheets is quite simple, you just need to follow some tips:

1. The metal must be placed in an arc if an arched shape is assumed.
2. Before using self-tapping screws, you need to make a hole, about 4 centimeters from the edge.
3. Remove debris from joints.
4. To prevent the material from breaking, work must be carried out in calm weather.

Working with the sheets is not difficult, so anyone can do it.

Progress of work and drawing of a wooden gazebo for a summer residence. Inexpensive option

Wooden materials are environmentally friendly, which is why they are most often used. First of all, it is necessary to prepare the foundation for the structure.

There are several options for the base. It could be

• budget columnar foundation (for example, foam block or red brick),
• or pile foundation from pipes (and it is advisable to fill the voids of the pipe with concrete solution)
• or build a slab with a thickness of 12-20 cm over the entire area of ​​the gazebo. Having previously prepared the perimeter and compacted the sand. In one of the previous articles, it was given

Example 1. Preparation of a columnar foundation made of foam block, 50 cm high.

Example 2. Installing pipes around the perimeter and filling them with a 10-centimeter layer of sand, then with concrete

Example 3. How to prepare a foundation slab (it immediately serves as a floor on which you can lay beautiful tiles)

Of course, there are precision technologies. But there is no need to complicate the design of the slab for the gazebo. It is enough to prepare the site, fill it with crushed stone, then a layer of sand and a slab. It is far from necessary to make the sand thickness 300 mm. Depends on many factors - on the gazebo itself. It’s one thing if you make a closed version, in the form of a specific extension. And it’s completely different if your gazebo is light. For lightweight structures there is no need to make thick ones at all. concrete plates, and soil preparation as shown in the screenshot below. A simple one will do just fine. inexpensive option. From a slab 12 - 20 cm, reinforced in one layer. And if the concrete is of a good grade, there is no need to reinforce it at all. It all depends on the design. Individual approach everywhere!

Then you can start on the floor.

The floor takes up a lot of space if the roof is rectangular in shape. Boards need to be processed by special means, dry. Before fastening, it is recommended to drill holes to prevent the board from cracking.

Below is a drawing.

After this, the roof, which is previously prepared, is erected.

Following such simple tips, you can build a gazebo. In this case, it will take time from one to three days. If desired, the building can be erected within a few hours (for example, in 8 hours, you can build a simple wooden one).

I hope today's instructions help you!

People come to the dacha to relax from the bustle of the city and enjoy nature. However, during bad weather or hot weather you have to hide in country house. There is another option - to build summer gazebo. Lightweight design will decorate the site and protect the owners from bad weather. You can find many options summerhouses. However, before independently constructing such a structure, you will have to learn many subtleties of the work. Choice a certain option depends on the budget and preferences of the owners. To understand how to build the simplest gazebo with your own hands, you should familiarize yourself with the basic intricacies of the work.

Choice of materials and design

The traditional material for gazebos is wood. When using it, the building acquires natural beauty. The service life of wood is also quite long. If you choose for wooden elements quality gazebos antiseptic impregnation, they can last for more than one year. The cost of the material is also taken into account - wood is very cheap. It will take a little time to build such a gazebo. If you work slowly, you can finish it in three days.

Another popular option that is often considered when creating gazebos is metal. When assembling the structure frame from metal pipes the gazebo will be able to stand on the site for many decades. There are also countless designs for lightweight shelters for summer cottages. However, the main question facing land owners is how to build a simple gazebo quickly and inexpensively?

Setting up such a problem can be done with a wooden floor and a frame structure made of timber. A concrete base is quite inexpensive. Before work, an accurate construction plan is drawn up. The drawing indicates all dimensions and materials used. It is also important to choose the right place to install the gazebo. After this it is deleted fertile layer land. The soil must be removed to a depth of 10-15 cm. After removing the soil, it is necessary to level the site.

Important! Very simple gazebos are made of wood, so the instructions will be designed for the absence of metal elements in the structure.

It is most practical to protect wooden supports bitumen or roofing felt. If wood comes into direct contact with concrete, it may be damaged. After 5 years of operation, wooden parts they will still begin to rot, which may cause the gazebo to collapse.

To cut a tree off concrete base, pipe sections should be placed in the ground. It is necessary that they stick out from the concrete by 30 cm. Holes are made in them for fasteners. With this arrangement of supports, eternal pillars are obtained that can support the roof of the structure for many decades.

The simplest gazebo for a summer house does not require the installation of brick fences that would protect it from gusty winds. A simple fence made of eurolining will do. It can have a height of 80 cm. This fence is reinforced with two longitudinal beams. This will protect the backs of vacationers from the wind.

Polycarbonate structures

An alternative to eurolining can be sheets of cellular polycarbonate. This material transmits light perfectly. It is convenient to fix it to wooden blocks. Polycarbonate is not afraid of heat and high humidity.

The roof frame of the structure is made from wooden beam section 50x50 mm. A tent structure must be installed on the gazebo. It will be attached to the harness. The roof of a simple summer gazebo is usually covered with sheet roofing materials. For this purpose, choose polycarbonate, slate, and metal tiles.

When creating a drawing of a gazebo for a summer house, you need to calculate it exact dimensions and roof width. This is necessary to simplify the work with roofing material. This way you won’t have to cut the sheets into pieces in vain. It is better to maintain an overlap for the side and end overhangs of the roof.

For example, for wave slate The length of the gazebo must be a multiple of one meter. In this case, the slope of the structure is 1.75 m long. When laying several rows of slate on one slope, it is necessary to take into account the overlap of the sheets by 10-15 cm.

When considering other materials for the construction of gazebos, it is necessary Special attention devote cellular polycarbonate. It will be useful both for creating a high-quality fence and for constructing the roof of a gazebo. Polycarbonate is impact-resistant and lightweight. In addition, it can be installed on both wooden and metal carcass. Photos of simple DIY summerhouses will help you understand how such structures are constructed.

It is appropriate to install a polycarbonate gazebo in the shade of spreading trees. Wherein transparent material will provide optimal level illumination Thanks to the translucent roof and dense foliage above the building, a pleasant partial shade is created inside the structure.

Features of the construction of simple gazebos

It must be remembered that light gazebo made of polycarbonate is a simple design. All that is needed to create it is a steel corner and a strip of the same material. To work you will need to prepare polycarbonate sheet and planed boards.

After concreting the corner supports into the foundation of the structure, it is necessary to weld them with a steel angle. To support the roof, one belt of corners is welded to the posts. Two belts must be fixed on the racks in their middle part.

Polycarbonate bends well, so to create an attractive arched roof gazebos will require a little effort and time. You just need to attach two bent steel strips, bent in the shape of an arch, to the racks.

The roof, which is installed on a summer gazebo, can be made from elements bitumen shingles. To do this, you should purchase several OSB panels. They will become the basis for such a roofing covering.

OSB panels, even with a small thickness (10 mm), are able to maintain sufficient rigidity. For this reason, for such sheets there is no need to construct a frequent frame of wooden blocks. They are simply fixed on the strapping beam of the structure.

As already noted, the lightest building is not equipped with a frame frame. The basis and floor covering often serves for her concrete screed. It must be reinforced with steel mesh. Such a surface can serve as a foundation for a barbecue. If you wish to use the gazebo and during winter frosts the floor should be made of wood. The base of the structure rises higher.

A columnar foundation is quite simple to construct, and the cost of materials is low. In order not to exceed the established financial limit, it is better to use standard red brick for the foundation. The construction of the base is quite simple - first, pits are dug for the pillars, and then brick supports with concrete mortar are placed in them.

A frame is installed on the poles future design. For this, a 50x100 mm beam is selected. Wood flooring the floor, which will be laid on the bars, will be reliably protected from snow and moisture. If the gazebo is winter, three of its walls can be made of polycarbonate.

Advice! Installed inside the structure open hearth, you can get a fairly comfortable room in which you can have picnics.

Wooden garden gazebo

By simple drawings you can build an attractive and reliable summerhouse from wood. However, the design can be quite complex. Wooden buildings look quite solid and attractive.

The construction of such a gazebo requires the preparation of the following materials:

• timber 100x100 mm;
• sheets of roofing material;
• self-tapping screws;
