Garden gazebo and its types

An excellent assistant on these beautiful summer days will be a garden gazebo, equipped on a summer residence. In the cool shade under the roof it's so nice to spend time in the hot noon or during the summer rain after a book, a cup of tea or a glass of wine with friends! The arbor is able to become the main ornament of the garden, if done with imagination, corresponds to its purpose and character of the owner.

It can be constructed by yourself or ordered by specialists. Before proceeding to its installation on your site, it is necessary to decide on the style and think over the dimensions of the arbor. It is difficult for the uninitiated to imagine how great is the existing diversity of these seemingly uncomplicated structures.

A garden gazebo and its views are a huge number of buildings, which have different options for both interior decoration and exterior decoration. Before making a decision, let's get acquainted with their basic types.

East arbor

The original arbor in the oriental style is distinguished by its intricate decor. Often it may look like a small eastern temple, with many towers and a dome roof. When erecting it, wood, stone, glass and bricks are used. The walls can be decorated with an oriental style painting or bamboo plates.

The gazebo made in this style has recreation areas, external and internal, equipped with low benches or even a real sofa. Near such a gaze organically look like metal jewelry, flower beds and rose bushes.

If you prefer a classic style, the design should be more restrained and executed in strict lines. The base can be any - rectangular, square or even round. The design must withstand clear proportions. The building in the classical style can also be built from wood, brick, concrete or natural stone. In this case, glass will also be appropriate.

Arbor-pergola

Another type of the above-mentioned architectural form is the pergola (which translates as a "canopy"). Such a garden gazebo and its species have not been taken lightly recently. But these days these buildings are experiencing a peak of popularity due to the ease of erection.

The base of the pergola is an arched lattice. Most often, it is covered with plants, creating an extraordinary comfort and a thick shadow inside. Such a simple building can be used for different purposes. If it is a garden tent-gazebo made in the form of a shed, children can play under it, adults can rest or even a car can be stored. Pergola in the form of a screen is an excellent variant of the decorative division of the rest corner and the courtyard.

In the depths of the garden can lead a gazebo, consisting of a number of arches. The easiest way is to make them round, but this is not necessary. They may well be figured, rectangular and even fan-shaped. The material used in their erection can be almost anything - from stone and wood to metal or even plastic. Perhaps a combination of two or more kinds of it in one design.

Arbor with barbecue

As a rule, the purpose of the gazebo at the dacha is always the opportunity to relax with friends or family, have a picnic, and therefore there are a number of varieties of gazebos with barbecue in which you can receive guests. The presence of barbecue or barbecue gives a lot of advantages. And the most popular material for their device - a common brick.

The barbecue or barbecue made of this material has reliability and durability, it can be comfortably located, has a good heat capacity and relatively low cost, and also preserves and emphasizes the taste of ready meals. Minuses for a brick brazier are also available. These include the massiveness and immobility of the structure, as well as the need to think in advance of its configuration.

The most economical option is a gazebo with a barbecue or a barbecue of a square shape. Most often the basis of the construction are wooden poles, the number of which depends on the size of the structure. In the center there is a barbecue made of bricks. Garden pavilions with barbecue, having a design in the form of a square, as a rule, do not disturb the harmony of the garden plot and allow using building materials as efficiently as possible.

Other varieties

If you are interested in more complex versions of garden arbors, the construction can be made octagonal. It is made not only from wood, but also from any other material. When it is erected, the most important thing is to understand the design of such a design and carefully draw a plan.

Pavilions can also be attached to a summer cottage, having with it a common wall and a decorative canopy. For a small structure of this type there is a place even in the most modest garden. With a built-in oven inside, such a gazebo can be used as a summer kitchen - practical and original, just use a little bit of fantasy.

Nature lovers

If you are a fan of natural materials, a garden arbor made of wood is the option for you. When it is erected, you can realize many of your own design ideas, especially if you love and know how to work with this material. If manual labor is not your element, you can order the erection of a wooden pergola to specialists.

The construction of such a gazebo in the country has both pluses and minuses. Advantages include the high rate of erection and the relative cheapness of the building material. In addition, your gazebo will be natural, environmentally friendly and can perfectly match with the surrounding landscape. Yes, and build it can even a person who is not too experienced in the construction.

The disadvantage of wooden arbours, perhaps, is one - the relative fragility of the building material. But it can be successfully reduced to zero by competent preliminary processing.

What other wooden arbors can there be?

A professionally made gazebo looks very beautiful and at the same time will be durable and durable. The layout in this case is very different, and additional external design is almost not required. The arbor can stand on the foundation or simply on the ground - depending on its own parameters and soil characteristics. Especially beautiful will be a gazebo with a pointed roof.

Garden houses-gazebos made of wood can be open or closed. Their designs, as a rule, are simple and look quite stylish and even exquisite. Inside the building, lightweight portable furniture is also installed most often from wood, which allows to decide the decoration of the rest corner in the same style. These arbours are very comfortable on warm days. Sultry sun or light summer rain will not prevent you from spending time in your own garden with pleasure.

If you prefer a solid structure that you can use in winter, it's worth to stop at the closed type of a wooden gazebo. Its walls can be lattice or even solid, which will protect you from the sharp autumn wind and cold rain. If the gazebo is glazed, then you can get an open version - in the case when the glass is removable. And take care of a portable stove or a stationary place for a barbecue - such a gazebo will completely replace the summer kitchen.

Steel structures

In addition to wood, when building a pergola, you can use metal. The facilities of this material are very common these days. They simply operate, and can also be disassembled and transported to any place. Beautiful pavilions are made of metal by cold forging. An alternative option is to use as a base a structure of reliable profile pipes.

Advantages of metal arbors - in the possibility of installing almost anywhere and on any surface. You can make it yourself, if necessary, replace the color - just repaint it. Such a gazebo, provided that the corrosion treatment is of high quality, has a long service life, is resistant to external weather conditions and has, as a rule, a universal design, suitable for any site. Having as a dome fabric awnings, garden arbors made of light metal look bright and modern.

The disadvantages of such a gazebo are few, the main one is that the metal is prone to rust. But this trouble can easily be avoided by using anticorrosive agents and periodically updating the coloration. Another disadvantage is that the design can become very hot in the sun. Inside the gazebo of hot metal will not be too comfortable. And nevertheless, metal gazebos are more and more popular these days. Owners of the plots prefer them in connection with the reliability of the design and the variety of options for external and internal design.

All for a picnic!

But back to our arbor with a barbecue. Buildings equipped with barbecues of a variety of designs, in Russia began to be popular much later than in Europe. The reason for this is the American way of life, where it is normal to have your own house with a green lawn, where you can sit on a warm day and fry the meat for a picnic.

Most Russians, as you know, live in urban apartments and for trips to barbecue in the summer season, at any cost, tries to escape to the dacha or to a country house. Over time, this architectural form - a garden gazebo and its kinds with equipped in furnaces - has become widespread.

The erection of any open or glazed gazebo can be ordered in most construction companies. Workers of the specialized company will come directly to the garden plot and mount the structure on site. Of course, the price of such gazebos is higher than those built with their own hands.

In what amount will the order of the garden gazebo be obtained from specialists? The options are many, from budget to truly luxurious - it all depends on the selected material, dimensions, complexity of design and finish. As a rule, prices for prefabricated structures made of wood start from 30-35 thousand rubles. The same gazebo, mounted "turnkey", will cost more - its cost can be 50 and 70 thousand rubles, and more - up to 100 000. So the savings when erecting it with your own hands can be significant.

How are these arbors

As a rule, the design of the gazebo with barbecue is a semi-open pavilion. The back wall is usually made of bricks. It has a built-in oven or fireplace. In some cases, the built-in oven necessarily has a hood as a combined or separate element.

A person unfamiliar with the subtleties of erecting stoves, it is best to buy and install a ready fireplace with the provided hood. Well, a wooden pergola around it can be built and it will be possible on its own.

Stationary brick oven-fireplace - the most simple, convenient and cheap option for organizing a picnic in the garden. But it is even easier to handle a portable grill. Lightweight metal construction it is easy to deliver from home to any gazebo, and after use - to return back. And on sunny days it can be installed directly on the lawn under the open sky. It can be a portable grill on gas or a forged stove moving around on wheels. Advantages of mobile construction is the possibility of rapid dismantling after the end of the event and stowing in the house or garage.

Portable version

However, the built-in fireplace or stove in the gazebo is not at all an obligatory element. Especially if your family - not fans of frequent events with barbecue and barbecue. You can build a conventional closed gazebo, providing for its space a place for a portable barbecue with high legs, on which you can cook a shish kebab, meat or fish with a garnish of vegetables.

When building it is important to consider the size of the arbor, because you will need to provide a certain area for garden furniture and a serving table. The latter can also be portable and transported with wheels. At this table, you can put any food and kitchen accessories into the arbor from the house, freeing your hands from the weight.

If your pergola or gazebo is of a semi-open type, it is possible to place a fireplace and a brazier on the edge with a removable metal insert for coal. Its design can include a convenient table top for food, dishes and spices.

Cold is not a hindrance

If you need a reliable garden gazebo to give for any season in which you can gather with friends and in winter, we recommend the construction of a metal frame, trimmed from inside the lining. In order to increase the longevity, arrange the pergola on stone supports. However, the wooden version can be quite reliable provided that a stone or concrete foundation is installed. Do not forget that rain and constant dampness are the main cause of decay and deformation of wood.

If the skills, fantasies or just the desire to tinker yourself in the presence is not available, in a special construction firm you can order anything from a separate gazebo project to a complete turn-key construction.

Even in the event that the construction will be required for you only for a while, a variant of renting a collapsible portable building is possible. Of course, the prices for services can vary greatly depending on the size, quality of the used building material and other specific features.
