A cozy gazebo, seized by greens, can become not only a place of rest of the whole family, but also to the decoration of the plot. There are many ready-made models made of various materials on sale, but it is much more interesting to independently create a design, organically inscribed in the surrounding landscape. A gazebo, made with his own hands, will be more than one year to please the inhabitants of the house - its size and appearance depend only on the taste and fantasy of the owners of the site.

Cutting material
Garden gazebo frames are performed from various materials:
Wood
Wooden structure remains the most popular view of the house for rest. With its manufacture, it is most often used not very expensive pine and spruce bar. The larch buildings will last longer, but they will cost more. Any wood before starting work should be impregnated with an antiseptic solution that protects against environmental exposure.
Advantages of wood arbors:
- naturalness;
- environmental purity;
- fast frame mounting.
Disadvantages of material:
- careability;
- not a very long service life.
Metal
Metal frame arbor is performed from round or rectangular pipes.
The advantages of the material:
- strength;
- reliability;
- long service life.
Disadvantages:
- high price;
- metal heating in hot weather.
Forged arbors fit in any landscape. Masters made of artistic forging ornaments decorate the structure, make it easy and elegant. The main drawback of such a design is a high cost.
Brick and Natural Stone
Arbors made of brick, natural stone and concrete are built more thoroughly and often have a brazier or even a fireplace.
The advantages of such a gazebo:
- naturalness of the material;
- durability of the design;
- the ability to use a glazed structure as a separate summer house.
Disadvantages:
- complexity of repair;
- considerable weight;
- duration of construction.
Preparatory work
Cutting frame - drawing, design scheme
Drawing is the first step in the construction of the arbor. At the same time, each detail is taken into account:

- the form of construction and its size;
- arbor design;
- applied material;
- load on the structure;
- the number of people for which it is intended.

Based on the drawn scheme, the necessary materials and fasteners are calculated.
Preparation of space for a gazebo
After choosing a place for a gazebo, it must be prepared:
- remove the fertile layer of the Earth;
- it is desirable to fall asleep layer of sand, gravel or rubble;
- thoroughly align the surface.
Then on the prepared area according to the drawing, the markup of the future construction is made. Peers are drunk on her corners and the fishing line is stretched. This is done for a real estimate of the size of the arbor and the possibility of interior items in it.
Tools for work
The following tools and fasteners will be needed to work on the construction of the frame of the frame of the arbor:
- For wooden frame:
- self-tapping screws and nails;
- metal corners;
- screwdriver;
- a circular saw;
- hacksaw;
- chisel;
- electrolovik;
- electrolake;
- hammer.
- For metal frame:
- self-tapping screws and bolts;
- welding machine;
- bulgarian;
- drill;
- drills for metal.
To build a brick arbor, or stone will need cement.
Measuring, marking tools and levels should be available when installing any sample frame.
Foundation for gazebo
Construction of the arbor begins with the fill of the foundation. There are several support options for the design:
1. Monolithic foundation - it is rarely used, since it is not necessary for the construction of a mild, summer gazebos. Most often applies to build more solid, brick or stone buildings.

2. The ribbon foundation is used for large designs and is performed in several steps:
- around the perimeter of the arboretum digs, a depth of about 40 cm;
- its bottom falls asleep by stones or any construction garbage;
- a formwork is installed, protruding above the ground level by 30-35 cm;
- the armature or iron rods are stacked in the ditch, which binds or welded;
- the pit is poured with concrete and is left for drying for a few days.

3. A columnar foundation is used when building the arbors most often. A sufficiently light frame of wood or metal structures does not require major concrete support. The foundation for arbors serve asbestos and metal pipes, brick columns or wooden logs, which are facing bitumen or resin before installation.
Operating procedure:
- according to the prepared markup in the middle of the gazebos and at its corners, pits of a depth of 40 to 80 cm are digging - this parameter depends on the degree of freezing of the Earth. If a large design is planned, additional recesses are made to its perimeter;

- the bottom of the holes falling asleep with a layer of rubble and trambed;
- The "envelope" is placed in waterproofing - rubberoid or only. Later, the column will be certified;
- the foundation itself is installed from pipes, logs or bricks, which are stacked in a checker order;
- the bottom of the columns turns into the insulating material, the joints are flawed with bitumen mastic;
- the foundation is aligned with the level and fastened with a solution or falling asleep by gravel and tram;
- pins are installed in the center of angular columns to fix the base of the arbor;
- waterproofing is stacked on finished supports - ruberoid.
Assembling framework arbor
Wooden frame arbor do it yourself
Work on the construction of directly the gazebo itself:
- In the 100x100 bars, a washed to the poll to the connection. They are drilled by holes for angular pins. The lower strapping is collected and installed on the foundation.
- On four bars, the necessary height is measured and they are cut. At the top of the columns is made with a 40x100 mm, intended for fastening a diagonal ligament. A hole for the pin is drilled from the lower end of the bar.
- Finished bars are installed on the pins, aligned vertically and are fixed with temporary diagonals.

- At the edges of the 40x100 boards, it is done for a connection with the pillars and they are connected to a meter.
- The middle of the diagonal ligament is strengthened by the bars, and its ends are inserted into the propulsions.
- The upper design of the structure is performed.
- The roof frame of the arbor is also performed from a bar 100x100 for a column and 50x100 boards - for rafters.
- The bar 80 cm is diverted and 50x100 is done on it.
- On the boards are made of cuts at an angle for connecting with pillars.
- Slinged to the floor of the tree is connected to each other and with a column.

- The prepared roof frame is installed on the poles. At the same time, the central segment of the bar must rely on the intersection of the ligament and stand strictly vertically, and the rafters are 40 cm to play outside the frame parameter. The fastening of parts occurs with nails.
- Other rafters are attached to the folding column.
- Performance is performed under the roof.
- From the boards with a thickness of at least 40 cm floor laid out.
- At an altitude of 90-120 cm, the railing is installed.
Elements of the wooden frame are attached not only by the method of washed, but also with the help of metal corners - this method accelerates the construction of the arbor.
How to decorate the design - the master itself decides. Most often below the railing it is chosen by clapboard. The top of the gazebos is decorated with lattices of wooden rails or various curly elements.

The material for the roof usually corresponds to the coating of the main building on the plot.
Metal frame arbor
Before starting work on the installation of the frame of the arbor, the profile pipes are cleaned with rust, ground and paint. This will help to avoid metal corrosion during construction.
To build a metal frame, both tape foundation and columnar are used. In the first case, the installation of bearing racks consists of the following steps:
- Supports are installed in the prepared ditch with the formwork and are vertically exhibited with wooden rails fixed on metal clamps.
- On top, all pipes are associated with a single frame.
- Fill the foundation.
When using a column foundation, there are two options for installing supports:
- Bearing racks are inserted into the covered pipes and are welded to them or fixed in the filled concrete.
- The lower base made from the channel is installed on the foundation. Vertical racks are welded to it.
Then the horizontal cutting of the framework is carried out. For strength to each post, diagonal struts are installed.
Montage of the roof
For a small square arbor, rafters are performed as triangles. If their length exceeds 1.5 m, then additional struts are welded inside. The slope of the square pipes for the rafter - 10-15 degrees.
The fastening of the elements of the metal frame is produced by both the welding method and the help of bolts and screws - it all depends on the metal used and the masters skills.
For design decoration use ready-made wrought elements, grilles. Metal combination with wood and stone looks very nice.
