How to build a gazebo do it yourself: step-by-step

Useful

Before you build a gazebo in the country, we recommend to make a small sketch of the future structure, which should indicate its main components. In addition, you will need to determine the location of the recreation area, taking into account the features of the terrain in your suburban area.

In the article we will consider two options for the construction of arbors. One of them involves the construction of a metal collapsible structure of bent thin-walled profiles, which with the advent of winter can be easily dismantled. As for the second of these options, it provides for the use of wood.

Metal constructions

To begin with, we will consider a variant of a team arbor with dimensions of 2x2 meters, made of standard metal profiles of suitable size.

The construction of the future arbor can be based on a prefabricated metal frame, the assembly of which is carried out using bolted joints or by a combined method (using welding). In accordance with the garden building project, later this frame is covered with standard plastic sheets or covered with household plastic wrap.

The metal construction chosen by us should contain the following elements:

the framework consisting of the top and lower frame belts;
vertical rack with stiffeners;
roof frame.

Use of wood materials

Wood materials are traditionally used in the construction of not only the supporting bases (frames) of garden buildings, but also during the installation of their individual components. At the same time, the lower and upper piping of the future arbor, its pillars and the so-called “struts” (stiffeness elements) can be made of wooden bars of a corresponding section.

In most structures of this class, wood blanks are also used for the manufacture of fences and in the preparation of flooring. In addition, wood is also taken as the basis for manufacturing the roof frame (batten) of the future structure.

The choice of a constructive solution (as well as the construction materials necessary for its successful realization) is determined, as a rule, by the main purpose of your building. When constructing gazebos for barbecue or barbecue, for example, preference should be given to stone or metal. For the construction of lightweight buildings, designed to rest after exploring the park, the best tree is suitable, allowing you to implement the most unusual and original design solutions.

Roof arrangement

As for the arrangement of roofing for the gazebo, in both options we have considered for these purposes, the following types of materials can be used:

polymer products (classic polyvinyl chloride or polycarbonate, for example);
materials prepared on a bitumen basis (shingles, ondulin, etc.);
composite materials (metal tile, for example).

In an economical version, the roof of the gazebo is closed with sheets of asbestos cement or profiled metal. When choosing a metallic coating, it will be necessary to take into account its increased “noise”, which manifests itself during heavy rains.

Foundation

For a prefabricated metal structure, the use of a foundation base is a prerequisite for its reliability and durability.

For the buildings of the class we are considering, there is no need to set up a powerful foundation with deep-seated individual foundation components. It will be possible to use the simplest of its options, involving the pouring of concrete columns placed under the corner joints of the bottom trim of the structure.

If the soil in the built-up area has an increased density (loam, for example), then it will be possible to use segments of metal corners of a length of the order of one meter that were driven into the ground as a foundation. In addition, the length of the pile foundation can be played by pieces of pipes into the cavity of which concrete mix is poured, as well as individual samples of rolled products (channels, profiles).
