We build a pergola with our own hands - the stages of construction of
The material for making a wooden pavilion can serve as spruce or pine, as they have special strength and are quite inexpensive.
1. After you have decided on the dimensions of the future gazebo, use a circular machine to cut the beams and boards of the correct size and slip them with an electric plane.
2. Now you need to make a markup for our gazebo. To get the right hexagon with two wooden pegs and a piece of rope, draw a circle of the desired diameter. From any point of the circle, at a distance equal to the radius, apply notches.
3. At the intersection points of the lines, excavate pits for the basement with a depth of 50 cm. Alternatively, you can fill the pits with sand, compacting and pouring them. Under the base of the arbor, you can use concrete blocks.
We lay concrete blocks under the foundation of the gazebo
To impart a strength design, drive six pieces of reinforcement, 1-1.5 m in length, into the corners of the pergola. In the concrete blocks, drill the holes and put them on the reinforcement.
4. Drill in each wooden bar along the hole on each side and put them on the fitting on top of each other with a well. Mark the intersection of the beams, cut them. For better grip, cutouts can be made for the "floor-to-floor" joint. Then collect the beams and fasten them with nails. For waterproofing between blocks and beams, put, for example, a piece of roofing material.
Make the base
5. Place the floor for the film, pour sand and lay the logs, fixing them with wood screws. Logs must first be treated with a protective compound, which will prevent wood from breaking under the influence of moisture. For flooring, you can use any materials, for example, planed boards, moisture-proof plywood, chipboards or OSB plates
We collect the frame
6. Now we need to put the vertical bars. Having made holes in the reinforcement in them, plant the posts on it. Check the verticality of the pillars with a plumb line.
7. Carry out the crown in the same dimensions and in the same way as the lower ring of the beams. Put it on top of the posts and secure it with screws.
8. Now you can install the roof. The upper parts of the vertical racks join the bars, having cut them on the ends at an angle of 60 degrees to the axis, fix the screws with a suitable length.
After the frame is made We make a roof at the gazebo
The roof is best done on the ground, and then the finished structure is installed on the upper ring of the gazebo. If you still decide to collect it at the top, then attach two boards to the top ring, place the center post on them in the center, then pull it out and secure the guide bars.
Obtain the resulting crate sheeting with sheet material or wooden slats.
Arbor is almost ready to sew
9. Scrape the railing out of the boards, remove the bevel. In the vertical poles, cut out the grooves and adjust the handrails to them. .
10. Vertical poles are lined with a lining on one side or we make a decorative lattice
11. To preserve the gaze for a long time, the gazebo must be painted or varnished not only forprotection of the tree, but also to make it look beautiful and cozy.
For a more comfortable and comfortable approach to the gazebo, you can lay a path from the pavers, and also make a small porch
. Now your skill will be pleasantly surprised not only by close ones, but also by the guests. Hexagonal gazebo for giving, where you can pleasantly spend time, hide from the sun and rain, ready! In addition, we recommend reading about the polycarbonate gazebo with your own hands.
