It is difficult to imagine a summer house or courtyard of a country house without a gazebo. This ancient building can be of various forms, made of different materials: metal, wood, plastic, brick, etc. And yet, with such a variety of building materials, a wooden gazebo is still very popular. It is good because it fits perfectly into any interior and looks great against a brick mansion and a modest wooden house.
Wooden arbors for a summer residence are an excellent place to relax in the hot summer season and on a rainy autumn day. Many summer residents
build a gazebo with their own hands. And it gives them great pleasure. It’s so great to make your dream come true. A wooden gazebo has many advantages over structures made of other materials:
- environmental friendliness;
- good compatibility with any landscape;
- beautiful appearance;
- long-term operation.
We recommend that you consider an interesting option - a wooden arbor with barbecue. After all, the purpose of this design is rest, and therefore the structure for the preparation of barbecue will always be welcome.
Quite often, a wooden arbor becomes a resting place not only for adults, but also for children. Here you can organize an excellent "room" where children can draw, sculpt, play board games.
The wooden arbor looks good if it is twined with weaving plants. Also suitable for her decoration and indoor flowers in pots.
Today we will try to figure out how to make a wooden gazebo with our own hands, which model to choose.
Such designs, depending on their functions, can be stationary and portable. Models of the first type are divided into open, semi-closed and closed. The material for the construction of the gazebo can be pine, spruce, birch, cedar or larch. Before starting the direct creation of the structure, the wood should be well dried, treated with antiseptics and preparations that protect it from parasites and adverse environmental effects.
Often summer residents are wondering about where to place the gazebo on the site. Its place does not matter, but it is better if it is located at the point where a beautiful view of the garden or the surrounding area opens. It is good if there is a beautiful flower garden, a fountain or an alpine hill nearby. The gazebo should be located so that the increased noise (road, transformer substation) is located as far as possible.
When choosing the size of the structure, the parameters of the site should be taken into account - the smaller the free area around the house, the more elegant and easier the gazebo should be. Massive and heavy construction in this case will look ridiculous.
There is an important design rule - the roof of the gazebo should be combined with the roof of the house. It is better if it is made of the same material. Polycarbonate up to 10 mm thick has proven itself. It is better to choose color options that do not let the sun in.
In the gazebo in the country it will be good to gather with the whole family or a noisy company of friends, share news and relax.
