Why do you need a gazebo at the dacha? You should not explain it. At least because everyone has their own views on where and how to rest. But the fact that for children it will be a great place for pastime is a fact.
This instruction will help you to build a gazebo with your own hands. Consider the whole process step by step, and start with what materials to choose for construction.
In
- 's Content Metal.
- Polycarbonate.
- Wood.
All the rest - stone, concrete - for dachas are not very suitable, considering both the modest size of the plot, and the fact that the owners come there, as a rule, only in season and on weekends.
Type of pergola
- Open.
- Closed.
- Intermediate version.
To make glazing or not - at the discretion of the owners. But this makes the whole construction heavier.
Form
- Square.
- Rectangle.
- Circle.
- Polygons( usually the number of faces is 6 or 8).
Features of the construction of a pergola
Type of foundation
Any country plot is characterized by an abundance of plantings and a deficit of free space. The foundation of the belt( even shallow) is inexpedient to mount. First, it will require quite significant costs( primarily for cement), and secondly, will have to engage in excavation work on the perimeter of the erected building, mortar, reinforcement. On a modest patch to do all this is extremely inconvenient. Consider acceptable options.
Bar
Under it it is enough to dig a shallow( in 10 - 15 cm trench).It is enough to exclude horizontal displacement of building materials. For more reliable fixing them, it is easy to drill holes and to block metal pins from thick reinforcement. Naturally, the wood needs to be further processed. The best option is complex( impregnation with antiseptic + rubber coating, including ends).After this preparation, the bar will serve for a long time.
Pillars
This option is more rational, since you only need to dig out a few holes. What to use? Log( with pre-treatment), pipes( metal or asbestos cement).In the latter case - with the reinforcement of the rod( not less than 4 pieces) and pouring the solution. At such decision it is necessary to think of how to fasten to pillars a bearing construction. If the pipes are made of metal, you will have to weld the heads( plates).For asbestos-cement, the solution is simpler - center, in solution, put a pin.
Frame
It is believed that the simplest version is made of wood. It is easy to process and fasten individual elements. The drawback is that the period of its suitability is limited. And almost in front of each season, the gazebo will have to be painted anew.
From the point of view of practicality, the design is more convenient, which is assembled from metal( and even plastic) pipes and polycarbonate. In this case, for a winter period, the gazebo can be easily dismantled, hence, no reinforced structure is required to withstand the weight of the snow strata. And with side glazing problems will not be - the same plastic sheets are used. And given the variety of their coloring, in terms of decoration, the gazebo of difficulties will not arise.
This link allows you to get acquainted with the specifics of polycarbonate canopy construction, and there is no fundamental difference between its structure and the gazebo( only in shape and dimensions).
The main stages of the work of the
Regardless of the design and selected materials, there are common moments in the construction of the gazebo, on which we emphasize, explaining some points.
Diagrams and Sizes
It's hardly reasonable to focus on someone's ready-made drawings. The summerhouse is not so complex that it is impossible to choose its optimal parameters. In addition, each site is different in its specifics. But for those who even have simple mathematical calculations cause certain difficulties, we give some examples.
Layout and preparation of the
site If everything is clear with the first, an explanation is needed regarding the second event. On the "patch", intended for the construction of the arbor, you need to remove the top layer of soil( about 10 cm).For what? First, that the grass does not germinate under the structure. Secondly, if this is not done, then under the floor will gradually begin to accumulate moisture. Well, the presence in the gazebo of constant smell and rot is unlikely to suit anyone. And on constructive elements this will not be reflected in the best way.
At this stage, after cutting the required layer, it is sufficient to ram the pad only. After the arrangement of the foundation, it is already decided whether it is worth covering this place with river sand, small gravel or rubble. But this later.
Foundation
Features of the selection of its type are indicated. It is only necessary to clarify that the question of waterproofing all structural elements should be considered. For dacha construction is quite suitable or ruberoid, or film p / e.
