How to make a gazebo from a log with your own hands

Any, even the most well -groomed yard, will seem incomplete if it does not have a small cozy gazebo. It can be built from different materials, but it is the wooden that looks advantageous in the garden. A gazebo from a log can be built with your own hands, you only need to stock up on wood and free time.

Before starting construction

Experienced builders before starting work, first make projects of arbors from the log. Many draw in the old fashioned paper on paper, and someone uses computer programs. It doesn’t matter which method you choose it, the main thing is the result. And already according to the project, it will be necessary to consider the following points:

1. It is necessary to assess the area where the future gazebo will be placed, take into account its size, how removed from the neighbors, what communications need to be brought.
2. To indicate the functionality of the gazebo, whether it will be with barbecue or equipped for children.
3. Determine the shape of the gazebo: open or closed.

Nuances in design:

1. The height of a standard gazebo is 2.30 m, it should not be low.
2. If the diameter of the gazebo exceeds three meters, then it is better to build its hexagonal shape.
3. If you want to glaze the gazebo, then it will be 35% more expensive.
4. There must be a good slope of the roof in order not to do additional waterproofing.
5. For the roof, choose refractory and at the same time light material.

The advantages of logs

Despite the fact that the market is more than building materials every year, the tree never lost its popularity. Therefore, gazebos from wood have its advantages:

• Environmental purity - the tree does not distinguish any harmful substances that cause damage to human health. You can even say the other way around. There are such types of wood, basically, these are coniferous rocks that treat humans. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is of them that most often build gazebos.

• Due to the fact that the air passes through the wood, a healthy microclimate will always remain in such a gazebo.
• The tree has good thermal insulation, it is five times more than that of concrete and brick.
• The outer natural type of wood gazebo always looks more aesthetic on the site than a similar structure of non -living materials.
• The finished gazebo does not need insulation or cladding, it will be enough for it to simply cover a log for logs.

Block

2. Columnar.
3. Tile.

Types of work for the strip foundation:

1. Dig along the perimeter of the planned gazebo with a trench. The width is from 30 cm, and the depth depends on how much the soil freezes in winter, the trench should be deeper than the freezing level.
2. Make a formwork from a tree.
3. Fill with crushed stone or sand trench and compact.
4. Pour a high brand with concrete.
5. After the foundation hardens, put roofing material on top of it.

Types of work for the foundation with columns:

1. At the corners of the future gazebo, dig pits for pillars.

2. Make the formwork.
3. Fill a pit with a crushed stone.
4. Install a reinforcing mesh.
5. Pour concrete.

The tile base is usually built where uneven soil or for a powerful gazebo.

1. Waterproofing.
2. Concrete mixer.
3. Scab, nails, hammer and ax.
4. A reinforcing mesh.
5. Shovel - bayonet or soviet.

Installation of logs

There are two methods of combining the wood of honey by itself: “without a trace” - even corners are obtained and “with the remainder”, where logs go beyond the walls.

Handing "in a paw"

The method of mounting logs “without a trace” or as it is also called “in a paw” requires less material, but it needs certain skills. The main task is to fold the logs evenly and closely, otherwise a little time will pass and the gazebo will lose its shape and will rot.

The course of work:

1. The logs need to be marked from the ends. The first to set a log, which has a minimum diameter at the top of the log house. Then this log will become a template, the rest of the logs must be marked on it. You need to act very accurately, without error, otherwise the corners of the gazebo will be shifted and it will not be sealed.
2. The logs need to be treated with four kants. One Kant should pass through the entire workpiece and goes outward. This kant is equal to two logs. And the rest of the edges can turn out to be a little thicker than the diameter of wood.
3. Now the turn of the inserts has come. The square must visually need to be divided into eight parts, one side can consist of four parts, and the second - of six parts. Next, you need to cut down the grooves in logs.
4. Try to mount the logs separately, if everything worked out, do the same with them directly on the foundation.
5. A year after the building from the log was built with your own hands, you need to make a hemp.

Handing "in the bowl"

With this method of installation of logs, the material consumption will be 15 % more, but the gazebo will delight the owner with a real Russian flavor. First you need to correctly fold the logs on each other, so that it becomes comfortable to carry out work. The logs are laid crosswise. And then the grooves are cut out by the carpentry line:

1. The legs are rested on logs, the first leg - on one, the second - on the second log.
2. For the seizure of the lower log, the point of the line is from half the diameter of the upper log, and vice versa.
3. First mark the bowl, then the longitudinal groove.
4. In order to make the groove marking, which is located below, you need to put the log process on top. At the same time, the gap is formed between the logs and before making markings, you need to dilute the capacity of the features by the distance of this gap, adding two more centimeters. After cutting down the groove, you need to put a log on a log house, determine the output contours, for this you need to return the torsion of the features to its original position.
5. When all the logs are ready, they need to be put on each other and make wood processing, where you need to put the wedges and seals in the form of a moss or pack.

Tools for building walls:

• Hammer.
• Disco drank.
• Electric jigsaw.
• Self -tapping screws and screws.
• Drill.
• Chisel.
• Scurgery.
• Plane.
• The ax is Plotnitsky.
• The Plotnitskaya line.

Road of the arbor from logs

The roof for the gazebo is built in approximately the same way as for the house:

1. Build the rafters, while ensuring that there are no gaps and everything was carefully adjusted. Dumped rafters are collected separately, and put on the roof already in the finished form.
2. Make a crate, while you can use bars, plywood or boards. Next, you need to attach it with a nail to the rafter. If the roof is not hard, then the crate should be continuous. If a metal tile or tree is used, a crate with a 20 centimeter step is created.
3. Put a roles on the crate.
4. Lay the roof coating on the crate.

Roof tools:

• Hacksaw.
• Plumb.
• Level.
• Roulette.
• Scab and knife.
• Nails and hammer.

Arrangement of the gazebo

When designing the gazebo, it must be borne in mind that internal and external decoration should be in harmony with each other and be made in similar styles. Examples of designing arbors from the log can be seen in many photos, but there are still similar moments.

External design:

• For ease of use of the gazebo, it is advisable to put the path to it. It will be especially relevant in rainy weather. With a wooden gazebo, a stone path will be well combined.
• Before the gazebo, you can build a platform where you can move the table to the summer.
• It will look good next to the structure of the flower bed, where flowers or spicy herbs grow. You can make a flower garden from old dishes or stumps, they always look harmonious in the garden.
• The entrance to the gazebo can be decorated with a small gate with two sashes.
• If there is a staircase with the railing in front of the entrance, do not forget to hold the light so as not to hurt in the dark. The staircase also needs to be varnished.
• On the roof of a chopped gazebo from a log you can place a vial.

Interior decoration:

• Be sure to conduct lighting in the gazebo to use it at dusk. By the way, New Year's garlands are remarkably suitable for lighting outside.
• There should be a table, chair or bench from furniture in the gazebo. If you have a powerful gazebo, then you can make benches in the form of a swing.
• A rocking chair or chair is especially popular in the arbors.
• Chargers or barbecue inside the structure will allow you to cook delicious meat, even when it rains outside.
• If dimensions allow, in the gazebo you can put a buffet in which dishes are stored. So that the beetles do not penetrate it, it can be painted with lime.
• If you want to see the gazebo cozy, you can hang curtains in it, put pillows, napkins.

Pillars of the gazebo that lews braids look great. Near the entrance you can plant several rose bushes that will bloom all summer. All the scenery of the gazebo depends on the personal preferences of the owners, the main thing is that everything is always comfortable and comfortable in it.
