What can owners of summer cottages and houses in the private sector dream of? About a wonderful vacation in the lap of nature after a working day or a working week. A slight breeze rustles, birds chirp, the sun sets over the horizon. At such moments, I really want a barbecue prepared with caring hands. For this case, you just need to build a gazebo with barbecue with your own hands.
Arbor: varieties and purpose
The gazebo is called a light building with a canopy or roof, designed for relaxation. It can be built with or without walls. Such a structure can be constructed using lightweight wood material (such as plywood, OSB boards, dowel, edged boards), heavy material in the form of bricks, foam blocks, cinder blocks. The most expensive, but at the same time beautiful construction of a gazebo with barbecue, built with your own hands, will be a metal forged structure with various patterned forging elements.
Documentation
As always, any construction begins with the preparation of a package of documents. This is a construction plan, estimated cost of materials, payment for work.
You can learn from the experience of neighbors, friends, relatives. But if you want an exclusive, something new, your own, you can develop a DIY project for building a gazebo with barbecue , taking into account your wishes.
Choosing a place to build
When choosing a place to build a gazebo, you must adhere to safety rules. A gazebo with a barbecue, whether or not built by oneself, should be located away from gas pipelines and power lines. If possible, avoid close proximity to dense shrubs and trees, maintain a sufficient distance from the living room, in order to avoid smoke and soot. And they will be obligatory companions of the arbor with barbecue and barbecue, their own hands raised. When determining the location, it is worth providing a connection with the residential complex. This will be determined by the delivery of dishes, products from home to the gazebo.
Foundation
The foundation must, first of all, correspond to the load that it will bear on itself. Here you need to determine in advance the material for the walls. The heavier the walls, the stronger and more reliable the foundation should be. When choosing it, it is worthwhile to rely on the plan of the gazebo with barbecue, do-it-yourself drawings and diagrams to which were developed in advance.
It is necessary to consider the height of the foundation above the surface of the earth. Most likely, for the construction of a gazebo with barbecue with your own hands, a tape type of foundation will be applicable. This is the best option. In this case, when selecting the height of the foundation to be laid, a possible water level should be provided for rain showers and snow melt. Moisture should not get inside the arbor with barbecue and barbecue, built with your own hands. Nevertheless, it is worth providing for some floor slope. Slanting jets of rain can get inside the structure.
Stove construction
It is advisable to erect a barbecue for a gazebo with a chimney with your own hands before raising the walls and roof device. The wall of the barbecue can serve as an element of the wall, and the roof will be arranged around the chimney.
The construction of a barbecue grill in a gazebo with your own hands should begin with the foundation. The design of the stove with a chimney will have considerable weight, so laying the foundation should be taken with all responsibility. To do this, you can use a cinder block, a foam block or fill the foundation in the usual way with a concrete solution using formwork.
After the foundation is ready, proceed with the construction of the furnace itself. When choosing its shape and size, it is worth considering the place for the location of skewers, dishes with cooked barbecue, a place for firewood (firewood).
Putting the brazier for the gazebo with your own hands is quite difficult. It is necessary to have the experience and skills of a stove-maker in order for it to burn well, possess good traction and create the necessary temperature. But, given the information availability, you can still do the work yourself. According to the selected drawings, walls are built. For the furnace, a solid, smooth brick is used. For the furnace it is worth taking fireclay chamotte brick. For laying prepare a heat-resistant mixture of clay, sand and water. The use of cement is unacceptable in places of high temperature near the furnace.
To increase traction, the chimney rises to a height of three meters. With a lack of brick, the top of the chimney can be raised using a large diameter asbestos cement pipe. But it should be installed at the very top, where the air temperature is not so high.
After the oven is built inside, a barbecue grill, firebox and blower doors are installed (if a firebox was provided for a cauldron and a frying pan). The external parts of the stove and chimney can be glued with a beautiful facing tile or stone. You can test the oven only after the solution has completely dried.
Brick pavilion
Building a gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands using a brick is a rather expensive option, given the cost of the material. Moreover, it is unlikely that anyone would want to use an ugly silicate brick. To create a beautiful wall, a brick with a smooth surface, which has the appearance of a facing, is suitable. Work with such material requires highly skilled bricklayer.
When mixing the solution, it is categorically not recommended to use lime. As you know, this component is added to the cement-sand mortar so that sand does not settle in it and the mixture remains uniform. If you add lime during the laying of facing bricks, over time, it will necessarily appear on the wall in the form of white stains. And it will be impossible to fix anything.
If, after laying the brick, it is not planned to clad it with decorative material, it is worthwhile to consider jointing. This will give a beautiful design to the constructed wall. For embedding, use a special device in the form of a semicircular groove. This action is performed on a fresh seam until it dries.
The height of the wall is determined by the owner in advance. Perhaps it will be only a meter or a little more. If you plan to build walls to the ceiling in the form of an independent house, then you need to leave openings for windows and doors, having previously decided on their size.
Building a gazebo using a tree
Given that the material from wood is much lighter than stone, you can apply a lightweight version of the foundation. That is the columnar. Its essence lies in the fact that a continuous tape is not poured along the perimeter. In this case, supports in the form of columns are installed at the corners of the structure. Hence the name of the foundation. Wooden arbors can be divided into:
According to the shape of the structure on:
- round;
- square;
- rectangular;
- polygonal.
Pavilions of the open type - the simplest designs for the warm season, are not used in winter cold. Closed type - these are more complex structures with windows and doors, with a capital roof.
The choice of wood for the gazebo
When choosing a tree species for the construction of a gazebo with a barbecue, do-it-yourselfers are usually guided by the availability of material and finances. Oak, beech, larch will be expensive. This design will turn out quite heavy. When choosing conifers (pine, spruce), the price is much lower, the gazebo will be easier for the foundation. But the quality of wood of such species leaves much to be desired.
In order for bugs not to be found in the wood, it must be thoroughly cleaned of bark. To give resistance to decay and for fire safety, the tree must be treated with a flame retardant solution. Processing is carried out by spraying from a spray gun or using a paintbrush. Reprocessing is recommended before the start of each season.
Arbor from logs
To build such a gazebo does not require the construction of the frame. To isolate the tree from the foundation, it is necessary to use roofing material, on which the first row of logs is laid. They are located on a closed perimeter, leaving an opening for entry. To fasten the logs in a row, a groove is cut out at the end of each of them.
They are fastened preferably in the corners, which creates a more beautiful appearance of the building. If a completely enclosed gazebo is planned, then all the elements are stacked in turn until the very roof. In this case, do not forget to leave openings for future windows.
Arbor from slats
One of the available options for creating a beautiful do-it-yourself gazebo with barbecue is the use of wooden bars and battens. Such a classic open gazebo does not require much physical effort and large financial investments. This is a budget option available to many summer residents.
Construction begins with a lower harness, which will become the basis of the future floor. Having assembled the lower frame, racks of bars measuring 80 × 80 centimeters are fixed at the corners of the building. With large spans of the side walls, intermediate racks are installed. The vertical elements of the gazebo are installed strictly on a plumb line.
The supports are attached to the lower frame using nails, self-tapping screws, metal corners. The distance between them is maintained within 100-120 centimeters. After installing the verticals, the upper tier of the strapping is assembled. Its elements consist of the same beam using a horizontal level. Thus, the frame is assembled. Now it can be sheathed with slats with a section of 40 × 20 millimeters. They are stuffed in several ways:
- in a horizontal position, with a gap between the elements equal to 3-7 mm;
- in an upright position with the same gaps;
- rhombus.
Optionally, you can arrange the slats diagonally (rhombus). The most interesting will be the arbors, in which the walls are made in the form of rhomboid cells, assembled at an angle of 45 degrees. Again, after building a wooden gazebo with barbecue with your own hands, all wooden parts must be treated with solutions against the appearance of fungus and premature decay.
Paul gazebo
For flooring, several options are applicable. Let us briefly dwell on some of them.
For a gazebo built using heavy stone materials on a strip foundation, a floor without wood is more suitable. In this case, it is possible to fill in a concrete solution on a prepared basis. After it completely hardens, put a beautiful floor tile. It must be selected of high quality, with the calculation of resistance to low winter temperatures. You can lay the floor with paving tiles. For this option, you will need to carry out a preparation similar to laying tiles on tracks. Pre-prepare the base of crushed stone or gravel slag, level the surface with sand or screenings. After preparation, lay the paving slabs on the sand-cement mixture. Such a floor will not collapse for a long time, but, given the cement composition, it will always be cold.
For wooden buildings, especially for buildings on a columnar foundation, the ideal solution would be to create a wooden floor. For this option, the conditions for its ventilation are necessary. In no case should you lay a tree on the ground. It will rot in literally 3-4 seasons. There should be air under the floor. Simplifies the construction of flooring previously assembled frame of wooden blocks. It will be easy to lay a grooved floorboard on it. If the frame is assembled with small cells, you can cover the floor with OSB or wood chipboard. After mounting the base of the tree, it should be well cleaned, soaked with linseed oil and covered with paint. When using a wooden floor, special attention should be paid to fire safety. In places close to the oven and barbecue, fireproof materials should be used. These may be sheets of galvanized or painted iron.
Arbor roof construction
The final touch to building a gazebo with barbecue with your own hands is the creation of a canopy or a solid roof. For this, any roofing material is suitable. Tiles, bituminous materials, metal, iron (both roofing and galvanized) and much more. For almost all of the materials listed and those not mentioned here, assembly of the crate will be required. A wooden beam of at least 80 × 80 mm is suitable. The use of a larger size will allow you to walk on the roof. This may be due to the need to clean the roof of snow or fallen leaves, rotting of which will affect the durability of the roof.
After assembling the battens, pull the vapor film. This material is used when covering the roof with a metal material to prevent condensation on the underside of the roof. It must also be taken into account that the correct use of a vapor film prevents its contact with the surface of the roofing material. Between them there must be an air gap.
Now, with the help of decorative screws, nails or other fixing material, fix the roofing material on the grate. If the roof is covered with metal, you need to understand that with a heavy rainfall, as well as with hail in the arbor, it will be very noisy. The fall of ice hail on iron will be accompanied by an incredible roar. To prevent such discomfort, it is recommended to hem the ceiling from the inside with the use of noise and heat insulating materials.
It remains only to establish the ebb, make design and serving work at the discretion of the owner.
