Arbor has become almost a mandatory attribute for private houses or suburban areas. It is erected for organizing outdoor recreation, but at the same time this building protects from wind, direct sunlight or precipitation. Recently, a gazebo with a fireplace has become especially popular. The fact is that domestic users of such structures prefer to combine a pleasant conversation with cooking on fire and a feast. Therefore, sometimes very important changes should be made to gazebo projects in order to realize all the ideas to increase the level of comfort.
General provisions
First of all, you need to understand that such an addition is fundamentally reflected in any typical project. If a gazebo with a fireplace is created, then first of all it affects the dimensions of the structure. It is necessary to allocate not only a place for a barbecue or other source of open fire, but also to create a kind of security zone.
It is also very important to properly organize the ventilation and carbon monoxide removal system. Otherwise, the whole vacation can turn into mass poisoning. Some novice builders very often neglect fire safety rules when creating such structures, and this ends in unforeseenfires and fires.
Special attention is paid to the construction of the foundation. The fact is that a gazebo with a fireplace requires a special approach to the manufacture of the base. The structure will have to withstand increased loads, constant temperature changes and external influences.
Project
A typical design of a gazebo with a fireplace usually consists of several parts. It includes a drawing of a pile field, since this type of foundation is considered optimal for such structures, as well as a plan for the construction of the building itself and a separate sketch for the manufacture of a stove or other open fire source device. Given this, you can immediately understand that a simple person, without work experience, will not be able to independently create such a project. However, even with a little technical training or with similar schemes, you can choose the option that is ideal for a particular site.
Foundation
It is best to create a foundation for such structures from piles. It is built very quickly, does not require large installation costs and allows construction immediately after installation.
- First you need to level the ground. This is very important if the fireplaces are laid on a separate base, although this action makes it possible to correctly position the piles.
- The next step is to make holes in the ground at the intended location of the supports. This is where a pile field project and a special drilling device come in handy.
- If a fireplace with a gazebo is made on onebase, then the supports must be placed under it closer to each other.
- To create such structures, it is best to use screw piles. They are screwed using a special device. At the same time, it is important to note that two people can do this job.
- Next, you need to ligate the piles. They are connected around the perimeter using a channel and welding. You can also pour a kind of armored belt made of concrete. Which will act as a substrate.
- When performing these works, you should think in advance about how the roof supports will be fixed and installed. This is especially important if a closed gazebo with a fireplace is being made, since you need to think about fixing several elements.
Installation of supports
The easiest way is to use a profile pipe to create an arbor. This material is quite practical, easy to work with, and its cost is considered optimal and comparable to its quality.
It is best to install supports from a profile pipe on piles, welding them or using bolted connections. However, be aware that barbecue fireplaces may also require a special connection to the supports, which means that it makes sense to create adjustable fixing points.
All supports need to be tied together. To do this, you can also use a profile pipe with smaller dimensions at the end. It is welded to the columns at the lower level, in the middle and at the top. This will give the structure additional strength and allow you to set the distance forsubsequent fixation of partitions.
Gender
This process must be done taking into account the fact that in the future it will be necessary to lay fireplaces. It is best to immediately create a small base for the fire source and protect it from heat transfer and expansion. Some craftsmen suggest using a special damper tape and a refractory insulator. However, to save money, you can simply leave a technological gap with asbestos sheets laid in it.
Flooring is recommended to be made from boards. It is enough just to lay logs on the perimeter of the base, on which the material is nailed. If the appearance of the floor matters, then experts advise to finish the floor from the board. After that, the floor should be treated with a special impregnation that will protect it not only from moisture and insects, but also from fire.
Fireplace
Even the simplest construction of a fireplace is a very complex and responsible process that requires the master to possess certain skills and knowledge. Given this, many people prefer to turn to professionals at this stage, who not only do their job well, but also provide a guarantee for it.
To solve this problem with minimal cost, you can use ready-made designs, which can recently be purchased on the market or in speci alty stores. They can be used as independent products or sewn up with bricks, giving a good appearance.view.
Roof
The most beautiful gazebos usually differ in the design of the roof. Therefore, it is necessary to approach this stage of construction with imagination. The fact is that even using the cheapest materials, you can build a structure that can become a real work of art and stand out on the site.
The easiest way to make a roof frame is from a metal profile. Almost any coating can be laid on it, and the structure itself will be strong enough. Most craftsmen are inclined to believe that the roof should be made of metal profiles. Modern manufacturers make this material with different colors, certain embossing and excellent protection against external influences. However, during installation, you can show your imagination and make the installation with an original technique that will highlight the entire structure.
Partitions
If a winter gazebo with a fireplace is created, then it is worth making special partitions that would close the structure around the perimeter. You can also make a door so that the interior is protected from the cold. However, it is very important that all these systems can be removed or opened, as in summer they will be redundant and completely deprive the enjoyment of outdoor recreation.
To save money, partitions can be made from old window frames. With a certain processing, they look very good and perfectly protect not only from the wind, but also from the cold. If you have a large budget, you should use wood panels or other materials,looking good.
It is most practical to create partitions that will protect the gazebo from the floor to the middle of the height of the supports. The rest of the space can be covered with a special thick film or cloth. This is very practical and convenient, as it allows you to quickly adjust the place of rest to any weather conditions and seasons.
Recommendations from experts
- All fireplaces, barbecues or stoves must be separated from other structural elements to reduce the risk of fire due to rising temperatures.
- If the structure is made of wood, then it must be treated with special compounds that reduce the risk of fire.
- It is desirable that the base of the fireplace rises a few centimeters above the flooring. It is worth immediately laying waterproofing on it to protect the structure from moisture from below, and treat it with a special compound to reduce thermal conductivity.
- It is very important to choose the right place to install the gazebo. The fact is that the smoke from the fire can interfere with others or go to other buildings. At the same time, special attention is paid to trees, since such a neighborhood can adversely affect their life cycle.
- When creating a roof, you need to correctly position the chimney in it. The pipe must not come into contact with the structure. It is best to use special segments that are sold in the building materials markets to carry out such a passage. They are much easier to work with and such a technical solution will save and protectbuilding.
- Tables and benches in the gazebo should be located at a certain distance from sources of fire. In fact, there should be space in front of the fireplace or barbecue, which will be necessary for ease of use and protection from heat.
Conclusion
Even the simplest gazebo with a fireplace in its manufacture includes steps that require certain skills and abilities. Given this, novice masters are advised to enlist the support of specialists and prepare in advance a high-quality project drawn up by people who know a lot about this. Sometimes it pays to go to small additional expenses to get a beautiful, practical and, most importantly, safe building. The same applies to interior design, as the finished structure will look only in combination with the landscape itself.
