First of all, before you start, you need to pick the right material from which the element will be made. The fact is that some variants withstand a stronger load, and some succumb to the wind and quickly fly off. Undoubtedly, the reliability of the design will depend entirely on the quality of the work, but a competently chosen material can also help to keep the result.

material Today, the most popular options are pipe hoods from polycarbonate .The modern material is easy to use, it bends rather well. If you want to make a complex version of the visor, it is better to use polycarbonate.
In this case, the visor on the pipe with their own hands can be made literally for a couple of evenings. The second most popular material is iron. Despite its obvious disadvantages - susceptibility to corrosion and oxidation, iron structures regularly appear on new homes.
If it is required to perform work with the gas pipe, first of all, it is necessary to create a professional project and coordinate it with gas specialists. Often such pipes fall birds, but if the installation is incorrect, combustion products can not be removed from the premises, which will create an unsafe environment.
Before carrying out the work, it is necessary to carefully inspect the pipe itself, to remove the small branches and leaves that got into it.
Depending on the material from which it is planned to design a visor, the canvas is taken, special guides, better iron, and tools for carving. The calculation for the clipping schemes is performed depending on the size of the pipe and its radius.
Special mesh, installed between the roof of the visor and its base, reliably protect the pipe from getting debris. Now the visor on the chimney is an indispensable condition for maintaining safety in a house that is heated independently.

The construction of the elements is done with the expectation that the "roof" will fully cover the pipe and will extend from the sides by 4-5 centimeters. To understand how to make a visor over a pipe, it is enough to study the schemes of creating a triangular canopy and additionally draw the supporting elements.
The fastening of parts is best done not in place, but in the room, so that you can carefully follow the correctness of the connections. The fastening on the pipe is carried out with the help of metal rings and iron washers, some experts recommend using a construction adhesive that is not sensitive to high temperatures.
