It's hard to imagine a cottage or a yard of a country house without a gazebo. This ancient building can be of various shapes, 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 the backdrop of a brick mansion and a modest wooden house.
Wooden gazebos for summer cottages are a great 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:
- ecology;
- good combination with any landscape;
- beautiful appearance;
- long-term operation.
We recommend that you consider an interesting option - a wooden gazebo with barbecue facilities. After all, the purpose of this design is rest, and therefore the structure for cooking barbecue is alwayswill come in handy.
Quite often, a wooden gazebo becomes a place of rest not only for adults, but also for children. Here you can organize an excellent "room" where children can draw, sculpt, play board games.
A wooden gazebo looks good if entwined with weaving plants. Potted flowers in pots are also suitable for her decoration.
Today we will try to figure out how to make a wooden gazebo with our own hands, which model to choose.
Such structures, 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 dried well, treated with antiseptics and preparations that protect it from parasites and adverse environmental influences.
Often summer residents wonder where to place a gazebo on the site. Its place is not of fundamental importance, but it is better if it is located at a point with a beautiful view of the garden or the surrounding area. It is good if there is a beautiful flower garden, a fountain or an alpine slide nearby. The gazebo should be located so that increased noise (road, transformer substation) is as far away as possible.
When choosing the size of the structure, the parameters of the site should be taken into account - thanthe less free area around the house, the more elegant and lighter the gazebo should be. A massive and heavy building in this case will look ridiculous.
There is an important design rule - the roof of the gazebo must 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 well. It is better to choose color options that do not let the sun's rays through.
In the gazebo in the country it will be good to gather with the whole family or a noisy group of friends, share news and relax.
