Each owner of a country house seeks to equip his site with maximum comfort. And an indispensable attribute of a competent organization is such a universal architectural object as a cozy gazebo. With your own hands, from improvised materials, you can build an excellent structure in which it is so pleasant to spend time with friends on a warm summer evening.
It is important to choose a good place for future construction. A gazebo, built with your own hands from improvised materials, should be located not far from the house, preferably in the shade of trees. Indeed, despite the fact that this building has a roof, in the heat it can heat up, and spending time in it will not be entirely comfortable.
Before you start building a gazebo with your own hands from improvised materials, you should decide what type of building you plan to build on your site. Such structures are of two types: temporary and permanent. Fabric tents or awnings are actively used as temporary gazebos. There is no point in making them yourself - there are many similar products of any shape and size on sale. The advantage of these models is that in the cold season they can be easily folded and put away for storage. But a permanent gazebo, with your own hands from improvised materials that everyone can make, is built once and for all.
After you have decided on the location of the future building, it is worth deciding what material you want to build it from. Most often, brick, wood or metal are used for these purposes. Arbors made of wood have earned the greatest popularity among the townsfolk. For their construction, you can use any material you have. However, if you have previously made any crafts from improvised materials with your own hands, then you know that the wood must be treated with special compounds before starting work, otherwise it will lose its pleasant appearance and darken over time.
If you decide to build a gazebo of stone or brick, then it is better to build such a structure in large spacious areas. Such buildings look monumental and will look great next to the alpine slides. A do-it-yourself gazebo from improvised materials can be made of raw natural stone, it will be valued much higher.
The structure made offorged metal. It is fireproof, durable, resistant to corrosion and decay, and can fit into any architectural style of the site.
When constructing any gazebo, it is recommended to use a columnar foundation, since the weight of the structure is relatively small. The shape of the future structure depends on your preferences: the gazebo can be rectangular, round or hexagonal. The roof can also be of any shape. The gazebo is most often covered with tiles or galvanized iron. You can also find structures covered with straw or reeds.
After the gazebo is built with your own hands from improvised materials, you should proceed to its design. Buildings surrounded by lush vegetation or climbing flowers look very good. Properly chosen garden furniture - plastic or wicker - will become the main element of the interior decoration of the gazebo.
