How to make gazebos from a bar with your own hands?

The arbor on the site today is not a luxury, but an urgent necessity. In this small room spend holidays with the family, receive guests, arrange holidays, etc. It is not difficult to erect such an object in the garden or in the courtyard with your own hands. Especially in the case if an easy-to-process technological bar is used for its construction.

Types of wooden arbors

Of the timber, only two types of structures can be assembled. Very beautiful are the frame buildings. In addition, these are the cheapest constructions - panel arbors from the timber. With their own hands they are very simple. Therefore, this option is by far the most popular among summer residents. You can also erect a more solid gazebo, the parapet of which will be entirely assembled from the bar. Sometimes in this way on the countryside there are also built gazebos that can be used all year round. Very often inside these structures are installed and barbecue. To make such useful furnace equipment it is possible both from a brick, and from a stone or metal.

We compose the project

Of course, the construction of such structures as gazebos from the timber, with their own hands must begin with the drawing up of drawings. It is best to draw two schemes of construction - front and profile. It is also worth making a plan from above with the placement of all the necessary garden furniture and the necessary equipment.

The shape of the arbor can be rectangular or polyhedral. The first option in the construction is very simple. A multi-faceted arbor from a bar is built on a somewhat more complex technology. With their own hands, the drawings in this case are compiled with an indication of the method of fastening the assemblies and calculating the position of the corner posts. Only in this case it is possible to erect a neat structure.

Of course, when drafting a project, it is also necessary to perform various calculations regarding the amount of material required and its final cost.

How to choose a bar

Pavilions made of timber, built with their own hands in the garden or in the courtyard, are reliable, beautiful and durable only if they were originally selected for quality material. For the construction of these structures usually take the wood of coniferous species. It can be, for example, fir, pine, cedar or spruce. The second option is most preferable. Pine very well tolerates the impact of various kinds of adverse environmental factors. In addition, this tree is distinguished by its smoothness, strength and attractive shade.

Build a beautiful summerhouse can be both profiled and glued beams. Most owners of suburban areas choose the first option, as cheaper.

Foundation construction

Since arbours from the bar, with their own hands (photos of these structures can be seen on the page) are usually built light and small, too powerful a foundation for them to fill is not necessary. Quite enough will be an inexpensive columnar foundation. It can be erected either from ceramic bricks, or from wood or concrete. The latter option is considered the cheapest and most popular among the owners of suburban areas. Fill such a foundation as follows:

• Perform markup, using an inelastic strong cord and wooden long pegs.
• Drill pits under the poles with a diameter of about 30 cm and a depth of about 50. The distance between them should not be more than 1.5 m.
• Pour a bit of rubble onto the bottom of the pit and tamp it.
• Install the formwork from a ruberoid rolled into the pipe and four reinforcing bars connected by a yoke.
• Pour the pillars. In the upper part of the extreme piles, rods are inserted under the gazebo stands. Above the surface they should protrude by 20 cm.

After waiting a couple of weeks, the foundation is waterproofed from above with two layers of roofing material and begin to erect walls.

Assembling the frame and parapet

With the arrangement of such structures as shield arbors from the timber, they first of all make the lower straps with their own hands. At the corners, the material is placed on the rods and fastened in a "half-tree" manner. In the middle of the arbor they lay one lag. Further, the vertical posts are fixed vertically. Attach them to the rods poured into the foundation and in addition to the galvanized corners. Next, install the upper harness and nail the rail of the railing, leaving a place to enter.

This is the way the frame of such a structure is assembled, like a simple gazebo from a bar with its own hands. If the construction is not shield, but usual, the following are placed on the lower crown, also connecting them by a "half-tree" or "paw" method to the height of the parapet. Then spread in the same way only the corners or set up on them racks. If the gazebo is closed, the cant be laid to the very top.

Assembling the roof

The question of how to make a gazebo out of a bar with your own hands, beautiful and tidy, boils down to the correct assembly of the roof. Roofs on these structures are usually made multifaceted. For a rectangular gazebo, arrange a gable. It's going to be like this:

• On the upper strapping at the corners diagonally set two beams. From a bar about 40-50 mm thick, grind an octagonal column along the height of the roof and attach it to their intersection.
• First set the corner stop. Planting nests can be cut out both in themselves and in the racks.
• Mount four intermediate (auxiliary) rafters. To the counter in the middle all legs are fastened with long nails.
• Cross rafters fix the crate from a narrow board.
• Mount sheets of metal or any other roofing material.

Sheathing of the parapet of the panel gazebo

The railing of the frame structure can be trimmed with a regular board or lining. The latter is better mounted on the hidden claymers in a vertical position. In this case, water will not accumulate in the grooves between the lamellas during the rain. Sometimes the parapet of the arbor is also lined with metal profiles or plywood. You can simply install balusters. In this case, the railings are attached last. The balusters themselves are fixed to the strapping bar through the floors on metal studs about 8 cm long. The handrail can be bolted to them.

Ornaments from Rivers

Very impressive look trimmed with thin racks of arbours from the bar. With your hands (photo of such a structure can be seen below), this spectacular decor is easy to make. Are assembled decorative rake frames on the ground. Then they are installed above the parapet. For their installation, you need to prepare a fairly thick bar. From it, a rectangle is knocked down to the size of the aperture of the gazebo and fixed to the resulting racks frame at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees. Next, make another such rectangle from the bar and also beat it. Then, both frames are connected to each other in such a way that the slats are inside the resulting structure and are arranged crosswise. Then the finished decorative elements are inserted into the openings.

The final stage

After the construction of the gazebo from the log with your own hands will be finished, proceed to the flooring. In an open structure, the boards should not be placed close together, but a short distance from each other (about 3-4 mm). In the resulting cracks in the rain will drain water. The ceiling in the gazebo is usually not plated. But you can trim it with a board.

At the final stage, the structure will need to be painted or varnished, designed for outdoor use. This will significantly extend the life of the arbor. You can also use special oil for the processing of wooden elements. It does not crack like paint, and does not go off as rags, as a varnish.

Barbecue in the arbor

When assembling a barbecue made of bricks, the foundation under it is poured at the same time as the base of the gazebo itself. It is desirable first of all to build the brazier itself, and build the walls after it is ready. Collect a brick barbecue, using the orders.

How to arrange and equip the gazebo

Of course, the erected building must be decorated. Usually around the arbor are planted lianate plants. It can be ivy, wild grapes or hops. On flowerbeds, you can also plant unpretentious marigolds, petunia, ornamental cabbage, etc. In the arbor, a table (usually in the middle) and benches are set up. You can also hang in the drawers for storage of garden tools, cookware for barbecue, etc.

As you can see, it is not at all difficult to build a gazebo out of a bar with your own hands. Even an inexperienced young owner of a suburban area can cope with this task. Strength and funds for the construction of the arbor usually goes a little, and the benefits from it is simply huge.
