What can the owners of summer cottages and houses in the private sector dream of? About a wonderful rest in the bosom of nature after a working day or work week. A light breeze is rustling, birds are chirping, the sun is setting over the horizon. At such moments, you really want shish kebab prepared by caring hands. For such a case, it is simply necessary to build a gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands.
Arbor: varieties and purpose
A gazebo is a light building with a canopy or roof, designed for recreation. Can be built with or without walls. Such a structure can be erected using light wood material (such as plywood, OSB boards, grooved board, edged board), heavy material in the form of brick, foam block, cinder block. The most expensive, but at the same time beautiful construction of a gazebo with a barbecue, built with your own hands, will be a forged metal structure with various patterned elements.forging.
Documentation
As always, any construction begins with the preparation of a package of documents. This is a construction plan, an estimate for the 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 do-it-yourself project to build a gazebo with a barbecue, taking into account your wishes.
Choosing a building site
When choosing a place to build a gazebo, you must adhere to safety rules. A gazebo with a barbecue, built with your own hands or not, should be located away from gas pipelines and power lines. If possible, avoid close proximity to dense shrubs and trees, keep a sufficient distance from the living quarters to avoid smoke and soot. And they will be obligatory companions of the gazebo with barbecue and barbecue, built with their own hands. When determining the location, it is worth considering communication 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. Here you need to decide in advance on the material for the walls. The heavier the walls, the stronger and more reliable the foundation should be. When choosing it, you should rely on the plan of the gazebo with barbecue, do-it-yourself drawings and diagrams for which were developed in advance.
It is necessary to consider the height of the foundation above the ground. Most likely, for the construction of a gazebo with a barbecue with your own handsthe tape type of foundation will be applicable. This is the best option. In this case, when choosing the height of the foundation to be laid, one should take into account the possible water level during heavy rains and melting snow. Moisture should not get inside the gazebo with barbecue and barbecue, built with your own hands. Nevertheless, it is worth considering some slope of the floor. Slanting streams of rain can enter the structure.
Building an oven
Barbecue for a gazebo with a chimney with your own hands, it is desirable to build before raising the walls and the roof. The wall of the brazier can serve as an element of the wall, and the roof will be equipped around the chimney.
The construction of a brick barbecue in the gazebo with your own hands should begin with the foundation. The furnace, by its design, with a chimney will have a considerable weight, therefore, laying the foundation must be taken with all responsibility. To do this, you can use a cinder block, foam block, or pour the foundation in the usual way with a concrete solution using formwork.
After the foundation is ready, proceed to 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 (woodcutter).
Laying out the right oven-brazier for a 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, have good traction and create the necessarytemperature. But, given the information availability, you can still do the work yourself. According to the selected drawings, walls are built. A solid, smooth brick is used for the furnace. For the firebox, it is worth taking refractory fireclay bricks. For laying, a heat-resistant mixture of clay, sand and water is prepared. The use of cement is unacceptable in places of high temperature near the firebox.
To increase draft, the chimney rises to a height of three meters. If there is a shortage of bricks, 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 no longer so high.
After the stove is erected, a barbecue grill, firebox and blower doors are installed inside (if a firebox for a cauldron and pans was provided). The outer parts of the stove and chimney can be pasted over with beautiful facing tiles or stone. You can try the oven only after the solution has completely dried.
Brick gazebo
Building a gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands using bricks is a rather expensive option, given the cost of the material. Moreover, it is unlikely that anyone will want to use an ugly silicate brick. To create a beautiful wall, a brick with a smooth surface is suitable, which has the appearance of a facing. Working with such material requires a highly skilled mason.
When mixing the solution, it is strongly not recommended to use lime. As you know, this component is added to the cement-sand mortar so that sand and the mixture do not settle in it.remained monotonous. If you add lime when laying facing bricks, over time it will definitely appear on the wall in the form of white stains. And nothing will fix this.
If, after laying the brick, it is not planned to be lined with decorative material, it is worth considering jointing. This will give a beautiful design to the built wall. For jointing, a special device in the form of a semicircular groove is used. This action is performed on a fresh seam before 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 it is planned to build walls before overlapping in the form of an independent house, then you need to leave openings for windows and doors, having previously determined their size.
Building a gazebo using wood
Given that the material made of wood is much lighter than stone, you can use a lightweight version of the foundation. Such is the columnar. Its essence lies in the fact that a continuous tape is not poured around 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 gazebos can be divided into:
- open type;
- closed type.
According to the shape of the building on:
- round;
- square;
- rectangular;
- polygonal.
Open-type gazebos - the simplest designs forwarm season, not used in winter cold. Closed type - these are more complex structures with windows and doors, with a capital roof.
Choosing wood for the gazebo
When choosing a type of wood for building a gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands, they are usually guided by the availability of material and finances. Oak, beech, larch will be expensive. This design will be quite heavy. When choosing conifers (pine, spruce), the price is much lower, the gazebo will turn out to be easier for the foundation. But the quality of wood of such species leaves much to be desired.
In order for bugs not to start in the wood, it must be thoroughly cleaned of bark. To give resistance to decay and for fire safety, the wood must be treated with a flame retardant solution. Processing is carried out by spraying from an airbrush or with a paint brush. Re-treatment is recommended before the start of each season.
Arbor of logs
For the construction of such an arbor, the construction of a frame is not required. To isolate the tree from the foundation, it is necessary to apply roofing material, on which the logs of the first row are laid. They are placed around a closed perimeter, leaving an opening for entry. To fasten the logs in a row, a groove is cut at the end of each of them.
Fixed preferably in the corners, which creates a more beautiful appearance of the building. If a completely closed gazebo is planned, then all the elements are stacked in turn up to the roof itself. At the same time, 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 a barbecue is the use of wooden bars and slats. Such a classic open-type gazebo does not require much physical effort and large financial investments. This is a budget option available to many summer residents.
The construction begins with the lower trim, 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. For large spans of the side walls, intermediate racks are installed. The vertical elements of the gazebo are installed strictly on a plumb line.
Supports are attached to the lower frame with nails, self-tapping screws, metal corners. The distance between them is maintained within 100-120 centimeters. After mounting 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 a vertical position with the same gaps;
- rhombus.
If desired, you can arrange the slats diagonally (rhombus). The most interesting will be gazebos, in which the walls are made in the form of diamond-shaped cells, assembled at an angle of 45 degrees. Again, after building a wooden gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands, all wooden parts must be treated with solutions against the occurrence of fungus andpremature decay.
Pergola floor
Several options are applicable for arranging the floor. Let's briefly dwell on some of them.
For a gazebo built with heavy stone materials on a strip foundation, a floor without wood is more suitable. In this case, it is possible to pour a concrete solution onto the prepared base. After it has completely hardened, lay a beautiful floor tile. It must be selected of high quality, with the calculation of resistance to low winter temperatures. You can lay out the floor with paving slabs. For this option, you will need to carry out preparations similar to laying tiles on the tracks. Pre-prepare the base of crushed stone or granulated slag, level the surface with sand or screenings. After preparation, lay paving slabs on a 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, conditions for its ventilation are necessary. Under no circumstances should the tree be laid on the ground. It will rot in literally 3-4 seasons. Under the floor should walk the air. Simplifies the construction of the flooring previously assembled frame of wooden bars. It will be easy to lay a tongue-and-groove floorboard on it. If the frame is assembled with small cells, you can cover the floor with OSB boards or chipboard. After mounting the wooden base, it should be well cleaned, soaked with drying oil and covered with paint. Using wood floorspecial attention should be paid to fire safety. Fireproof materials should be used in places close to stoves and barbecues. These can serve as sheets of galvanized or painted iron.
Construction of the roof of the gazebo
The final touch of building a gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands is the creation of a canopy or a capital roof. Any roofing material is suitable for this. Tiles, bituminous materials, metal tiles, iron (both roofing and galvanized) and much more. For almost all of the listed materials and those that are not named here, the assembly of the crate will be required. A wooden beam of at least 80 × 80 mm is suitable. Using a larger size will allow you to walk on the roof. This may be due to the need to clear the roof of snow or fallen leaves, the rotting of which will affect the durability of the roof.
After assembling the crate, stretch 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 should also be taken into account that the correct use of the vapor film does not allow it to come into contact with the surface of the roofing material. There must be an air gap between them.
Now, use decorative screws, nails or other fixing material to fix the roofing material to the grate. If the roof is covered with metal, you need to understand that with heavy rain, as well as with hail, it will be very noisy in the gazebo. The fall of ice hailstones on iron will be accompanied byincredible noise. To prevent such discomfort, it is recommended to file the ceiling from the inside with the use of noise and heat insulating materials.
It remains only to install ebbs, make design and serving work at the discretion of the owner.
