Arbor is an important attribute of most country cottages or cottages. However, during its construction, many seemingly insignificant, but very important points should be taken into account: the choice of material, shape and design, as well as the location on the site. Only taking into account the above, a gazebo made of improvised material, made with your own hands, will turn out beautiful and cozy.
This country house looks best in the garden, in an open place where no one will stop you from enjoying the beauty of the landscape.
As you know, do-it-yourself crafts for summer cottages and gardens can be made from any materials, and gazebos are no exception. They can be built from wood, metal, stone or polycarbonate. The latter material is most valued among summer residents. It is very durable, polycarbonate structures are very easy to install, and the cost of this material is not so high. A metal gazebo - forged or steel - belongs to the elite class of buildings. Such structures are very elegant and extraordinary and can become a real "landmark" of your site. But most often, the construction of a gazebo with your own hands is carried out using wood. Such facilities are of the luxury class, they are easy to install and their construction is quite inexpensive.
If you decide that the best option for your site is a gazebo from improvised material, with your own hands you can easily build it from wood. You will need clapboard, long beams for supports, edged board, slats, roofing nails, bricks and cement for the foundation, screws and self-tapping screws.
The first step in the construction of the gazebo is the organization of the foundation. For its waterproofing, you can use roofing material. Foundation tables can be made from broken bricks or stone.
Any gazebo made of improvised material, built with your own hands, requires the installation of a strong and reliable frame. To do this, you need to assemble the base of the bars and fix it on the foundation posts. For strength, it is recommended to use screws. From above you need to make cuts for the ligament. It is made of boards connected diagonally. The bundle must be lifted onto the posts of the frame, inserted into pre-made cuts, and secured with nails. Then you should make a strapping of the top of the structure with a bar. After the gazebo is assembled, you can attach the railing. Their height is usually about one meter. They are made fromcarefully polished timber and fastened on all sides except for the entrance. The roof frame is also assembled from beams. You can cover it with any means at hand: soft tiles, clapboard, straw, etc. The final stage of construction is the sheathing of the gazebo. For this, lining is used, which is then impregnated with special compounds and varnished.
If you did everything right, a do-it-yourself gazebo made of improvised material will be a great place to relax in a warm family circle or in a noisy group of friends.
