Very often a gazebo becomes a favorite place in the country. The whole family gathers here when they arrange holidays. But if you need to be alone or think about life, then there is no better place to find. Even if you do not yet have such a treasured corner, you need to build it. And first of all, you should decide on the purpose of the future place to stay.
If you have some construction skills, you can build a gazebo with your own hands. A photo you see in a magazine or an example from a neighbor can help you come up with your project. Even the samples that are presented in stores will serve you well. Take a closer look at the proposed options, determine what you can take into service to use later in construction.
To build a gazebo, you can invite craftsmen, buy a ready-made sample in the store. This will make your task easier, but you will pay a higher price for it. True, sometimes time is more important value than money. It's up to you to decide. But if you know how to build a simple gazebo, then you can do this exciting job yourself. Let's look at the main steps to make your task easier.
It's better to start by looking for that secluded corner where you can install this building. This will allow you to determine the size. Based on a specific place, we draw a plan for a future gazebo. Its shape can be round, rectangular, square or octagonal. Here everything is subject to your imagination. Each type has its own advantages, so it all depends, first of all, on the terrain. It is better to build a gazebo with a roof and walls. Then it will be possible to relax in it not only on sunny days, but also in rainy weather. If you settled on the option with a barbecue or stove, then think about safety measures in advance. Especially if an open fire is planned.
To build a gazebo, you can use different materials. The most common solution is a wooden structure. It's easier to build and cheaper. But with it you will have to work more with further operation. Periodically protect from moisture, paint or coat with a special varnish. A metal frame may be preferable, as it will last longer without additional effort. You can also consider brickwork. This option will allow you to build a gazebo in a warm design, combined with a barbecue.
It is better to lift a wooden floor above the ground, laying it on a prepared frame. You can lay tiles on it or lay it out with paving stones, pour it with concrete or use porcelain stoneware. There are many options, but if you still decide to build a gazebo completely out of wood,then it is better to take boards for the floor.
The roof can also be used to insulate your place for future vacations. In general, it is better to approach the construction of a gazebo in the same way as the construction of a house. Then it can be used all year round.
Put poles around the perimeter of the gazebo, plant any climbing plants, you can grapes. Even without fruits, it will create a beautiful green wall. Sand or gravel can be poured onto the floor. Make wooden rafters and cover it with any cheap roofing material.
But even if this option seems difficult for you, use tents. They are made in different sizes, so you can buy the one that suits you. You can pull it on in the summer and take it off when you leave the country house.
