A gazebo should certainly be in every garden. It's so nice to have lunch, eat barbecue or just sit and drink tea with friends in the fresh air. This will require only minimal skills and the most affordable materials. So, let's start, how to build a gazebo for a summer residence yourself.
There are many ways to design gazebos on suburban area, but in this article we will focus on the simplest option.
What do you need to build a gazebo
1. Materials
The amount of materials needed depends on the size and configuration of your gazebo.
For example, this gazebo is more for shelter from the sun or prying eyes than from bad weather.
And this gazebo adjoins the fence with its back wall and on this side it has a blank wall, and on the other two sides it is covered with a crate, creating a cozy limited space.
This option may be suitable for you if you want to get by with the most minimal costs.
But if you are planning to build a more spacious gazebo in which you could accommodate a large company, then you will need boards, timber of various sizes, and roofing materials.
You will also need fasteners. For the construction of a garden gazebo, both self-tapping screws and nails are suitable.
2. Tools
You only need a minimal set of tools: tape measure, hacksaw, hammer, screwdriver (if you decide to use self-tapping screws). That's all it takes!
How to build a gazebo out of wood
First of all, you need to decide on the design, configuration and size of the gazebo, as well as prepare the place. Our gazebo will be divided into two parts: open and closed with barbecue facilities.
In the closed part, where the brazier will be located, the floor cannot be made of wood, so this part will be tiled, and we will make a screed for it.
The floor of the open part will be lined with boards, so we lay logs there. The water level will help to perform this work accurately and accurately. The distance between the joists depends on the thickness of the floorboard that you plan to lay on them: the thinner the board, the smaller the distance should be.
Advice! When the joists are very close, it can be difficult to fasten them together, as you will need to wield a hammer or screwdriver in the space between them. It is better to take a board of medium thickness (30-40 mm.), So that the logs can be safely placed at a distance of 50-70 cm from each other. Then it will be more convenient to lay them.
Please note that the space between the lags is not sprinkled with earth and is not filled with anything. This will provide ventilation and extend the life of our floor. For greater reliability, you can treat the logs with drying oil, used machine oil (preheating it) or special compounds for protecting wood.
For sheathing our gazebo, we chose unedged board. It looks attractive, is inexpensive (compared to lining and other materials) and does not present any particular difficulties in work. Start sewing millet from the bottom and work your way up. The uneven edges of the board will hide small flaws if you make them.
The next step is very responsible. We build rafters for the roof.
Our roof will be gable.
We cover the floor with boards.
Now we are all set to do the roof.
You can use any available roofing material, but our roof will grow a real lawn! Therefore, we make a continuous crate of boards.
Further activities that you will carry out in the gazebo will depend on the location of the structure. That is why it is not advisable to install it in an open place, because it will be very hot and stuffy inside - it is best to choose a small area in the shade of a tree. If your site has a small pond or fountain, you can start building there. The simplest gazebos for summer cottages are built of wood - it is about the creation of such a structure that we will talk today.
It is very important to prepare the material for a long service life if you do not want the gazebo to fall apart after several winters.. So, it is advisable to cover wooden beams to create supports from below with impregnation against decay and wrap them with roofing material and film so that the tree does not rot. And boards for sheathing are pre-treated with drying oil or mastic, which protect the material from rotting and attack by pests.
The simplest do-it-yourself gazebo - instructions and construction steps
Undoubtedly, you can purchase a ready-made design, but it will come out quite expensive. Moreover, the construction of the gazebo, which we will tell you about, will take you a maximum of a week! The main thing is to do everything according to the rules.
Interior decoration: how to decorate a place of rest?
Knowing how to build a simple gazebo, you can begin to work. However, upon completion, you will find that something is missing inside. Help you finish building interior decoration premises. From the inside, the beams should also be sheathed with plywood or drywall sheets, which are pasted over with wallpaper or painted on top. For reliability, the laid floor can be closed with linoleum, which does not allow water to pass through.
A gazebo in the country or in the courtyard of the house is a place for tea drinking and gatherings in the summer. In buildings slightly larger, it can be installed. Then you can think about glazing it: barbecue in winter is a rare pleasure, and the barbecue will simultaneously warm the air inside. They usually start with simpler and cheaper models: they build a gazebo with their own hands, most often there is not enough time. Hence the choice. We will talk further about how to do it correctly, about materials, methods, methods of construction.
A little theory: what are gazebos
Nothing complicated: let's talk about the types of gazebos and the materials from which they are built. First of all, buildings of this type are divided into open (summer) and closed (glazed). This does not mean at all that there are only two of these types: there are also combinations with removable glazing, and there are also awnings made of transparent film, which, if necessary, are stretched over the frame of the gazebo. Another option - some of the walls are closed, some are open. Choose the one that is closer to you.
With or without floor
More gazebos can be divided into those with and without a floor. Arbors without a floor are placed on a prepared site from paving slabs, filled with concrete, lined with paving stones, etc. Although no one bothers to build directly on the grass. Only the framework must be treated accordingly: direct contact with the soil requires enhanced protection measures. If we are talking about a wooden arbor, it is impregnated with rot and fungal infections, if it is made of metal, it is treated with a rust preventative.
Pergolas with a floor suggest the presence of a foundation. Most often do columns. They can be folded from brick or buta, poured from concrete, put foundation blocks. If you have large flat-topped boulders to lean on, use those. But all this - if the building is light - on a frame made of wood or metal. required, albeit a shallow laying (20-30 cm below the level of the fertile layer).
This is also a gazebo made of wood, but with a wooden floor. That's why she's up on her feet. The upper part is originally finished in it - the binding from processed thin boards looks great
If you want to tile the floor in the gazebo for a summer residence, you will have to fill in the insulated slab with concrete, and put frost-resistant types of tiles on it. Moreover, the insulated slab must be at least 50 cm wider in all directions than the building on it. And these 50 cm are made at a slight slope so that moisture drains. This is actually, which will not allow the soil to freeze under the gazebo. So the tile will not turn out and it will not crack.
materials
The frame of garden or country arbors is made of three materials:
- wooden bursa or round timber of small diameter;
- steel pipe (from a profile it is more convenient);
- polymer pipes (PVC).
The only material that does not require protection is polymers. They do not rot, are not affected by fungi. Some species tolerate freezing and thawing without much harm. So they can stay over the winter. That's just to make the gazebo for giving PVC pipes durable, they need a solid diameter and with a thick wall. And even in this case, you don’t need to rely on the frame: you will have to install such furniture that will not put pressure on the plastic. Well, the brazier will need to be put aside (if provided).
In order for a wooden garden gazebo to remain attractive for a long time, all the wood that will be used in construction must first be coated with a protective impregnation in one or two layers. The cheapest today are the SENEZH and Usadba impregnations, and the reviews about them and their protective properties are very good. These manufacturers also have tinting compositions.
This is the whole theory in a nutshell. There may be some other special cases: there are many materials, as well as the possibilities of their combination. We will publish the most interesting original gazebos from non-standard materials at the end of the article. And now - practice.
How to make a gazebo with your own hands
Most often, we build garden arbors made of wood on our own. The second place in popularity is with metal ones. Everyone else does it infrequently. Brick and from other building materials due to the fact that they are expensive, from PVC pipes - because there is no confidence in the material.
We will analyze an example of building a frame gazebo made of wood. But even if you are going to make it out of metal or PVC, the procedure will be the same. Another principle of connecting frame materials, but otherwise, everything is the same.
When working with wood, it must first be treated with antibacterial and flame retardant (reducing the combustibility of the material) impregnations. Only after the compositions have dried can you work. If this is not done, the wood will darken very quickly and lose its attractiveness.
Drawing
Two similar projects were implemented, of the same type: a quadrangular gazebo under a gable roof, only with different sizes and they were designed differently. A drawing of one of them, see the photo below.
Rectangular gazebo with hipped roof(in one project, the roof was replaced with a gable roof)
Step by step instructions with photo
It all starts with site preparation. If there is sod, it is removed, and the fertile layer is also removed. If this is not done, the roots, greens and all leftovers will rot. On sandy or sandy loamy soils, screenings, crushed stone or broken construction debris are poured into the pit, everything is tamped down, covered with sand from above. On the clay soils, on which the water does not drain well, it is better to fill the pit and compact your own soil (clay, but without a fertile layer). Otherwise, water will accumulate and stagnate in the pit, which will lead to an unpleasant odor. Not what you need at all.
The choice of the type of foundation and the lower trim
If there is not much time, the fastest way is to install ready-made concrete blocks on a compacted pillow. More time will have to be spent if you fold brick columns, even more - pour them out of concrete. The distance between the supports should be no more than 1.5-2 meters. More specifically, it depends on the thickness of the timber from which you will make the strapping. Under a bar 100 * 100 mm, the distance is 1.5 meters, under a metal profile pipe 60 * 60 mm can be placed every 2 meters.
When all the supports are installed and level (use pegs, a stretched string and a building level), waterproofing is laid on them. This is roofing material or roofing felt, rolled up in two layers, or bituminous mastic, which is also impregnated twice with the surface. Then the lower trim of the gazebo from the timber is laid. Everything is hammered together with nails of at least 150 mm in length or connected with wood screws. For greater strength, corners are used (if you find reinforced ones - as in the photo - it will be great). Although the gazebo is built initially as a summer arbor, after some time the majority decides to glaze it. That's when a margin of safety is needed.
Rack installation
At this stage of the construction of the garden gazebo, it is important to place the racks strictly vertically. It is undesirable to use the building level: it has a large error, especially for household models, which are usually used by developers. Therefore, we take the good old plumb line and put it on it. Check the vertical from two adjoining sides so that the racks do not fall anywhere.
Fix the racks with jibs (see the photo). If they interfere with you in the future, you can make a temporary option, as in the photo on the left. If the sheathing below is opaque, do it thoroughly: cut down the beam at 45 ° (it is more convenient to use a miter box) and nail it with two or three nails obliquely. Check if it has gone astray after each mowing installation. These small triangles give rigidity to the whole structure and it stops staggering.
Two projects and two ways to set the corner bars correctly. On the left - temporary jibs, after installing the strapping they will be removed, on the right - permanent
Top trim and floor boards
Further, after all the racks are installed and fixed, the upper harness is mounted. There shouldn't be any problems here. To increase the reliability of the connection, use the corners. Racks, by the way, can also be fixed on the sides with corners. Especially if there are no permanent mowings. Otherwise, your design from lateral loads may develop.
After that, the floor boards are laid. It is very desirable to treat them on all sides with antibacterial impregnation for wood in direct contact with the ground. Senezh has two such squads. One of them is called "Senezh", the other "Senezh-Ultra". They differ in that "Ultra" does not stain the wood, and "Senezh" gives it a greenish color. If you cover everything with a dark stain, the greens are invisible, such a composition is not suitable for a light one.
After laying the floor, it is better to paint the boards, otherwise, by the time you finish the construction, they will get dirty. Therefore, take the time to apply varnish or oil-based tinting paints - the best option for outdoor wood. Do not confuse with oil paints! These compounds are often called wood oil, because the base is oil, to which protective substances and coloring pigments are added. As a result, the wood takes on a different shade (even pink or green, if you so desire), but the texture becomes clearer, and not painted over.
Medium strapping
The next step is to install the middle strapping, if there is one for the project. A quarter is taken out under the beam in the racks - a small recess, in this case, with a beam of 100 * 100 mm, a quarter is 25 mm.
Making a roof
While the frame of the wooden gazebo dries, collect truss system. It is a triangle (see the photo below).
They are installed on the frame. This project does not include a roof overhang. Therefore, they are simply placed strictly vertically and nailed directly to the beam of the upper trim. Such a roof is easy to install, but the rain will pour heavily inside even with a slight wind.
If you do with overhangs (the roof protrudes beyond the perimeter of the gazebo), then in the beam you will have to cut out “seats” under the rafters. They look like triangles (see photo).
Two options are shown. In fact, there are more of them, but since the roof is small, the first, the simplest, will be enough. In order not to mess around with each triangle, sawing the wood at the top, make a template. Take a piece of board, cut out a hole of the desired shape, try it on, check it, adjust it. Then you just put it in turn to all the rafters, draw around with a finely sharpened pencil and cut it out. What's the best way to cut? Electric jigsaw, but you can also use a hand saw. Having prepared all the triangles, throw them up and install (with long nails obliquely from the spirit of the sides, you can still fix them with corners). Before fixing, do not forget to check the vertical and horizontal.
After installing the triangles, the crossbars are stuffed: two on both sides of the ridge, and then with a step that depends on the type and type roofing material. Under, for example, a solid crate is generally needed. Then the entire truss system is painted. And then the roofing material is mounted (in this case, a metal profile).
Finishing
The bottom trim is nailed last. In this project, lining was used, which was then painted with wood oil.
This country gazebo is from the category of "simple, fast, cheap." Having it as an example, you can make something of your own, more, in your opinion, attractive. Here, for example, what happened on the same project, but in a different design: veranda sheathing from a blockhouse, which is painted in light color, and the frame - in the dark.
And also - such an option: country gazebos for this project turn out to be completely different
Several more complex projects with drawings and dimensions will be laid out below, and even more interesting photos, but without the drawings at the very bottom. Might be useful to someone...
Sketches of gazebos with drawings and dimensions
Available sizes can be scaled up or down proportionally. It is important that you understand that with a significant increase in size, a more powerful frame is required. Do not forget about this, and everything will work out for you: a gazebo made by yourself will be beautiful and reliable.

Almost the same project, but with different dimensions: the upper point of the roof is raised higher, which makes it visually lighter. The gazebo is also quadrangular, the roof is hipped.
When constructing such a roof, the most problematic are two places (nodes) indicated by circles. How to do them, see the photo below.

Large gazebo on the foundation
Before you build this gazebo is required. Its parameters depend on the soil, on the material that you are going to use for the frame: metal or wood, and what you are going to glaze it with. In general, the width of the tape is about 20 cm, the depth is 20-30 cm deeper level fertile layer. On heaving soils, it is better to do the so-called.
Drawing gazebo-swing
Arbor-swing requires special attention: fasten it very firmly so that the resulting variable loads do not loosen and turn the structure over. To do this, you can extend the legs down, dig a hole under them, fill them with rubble, tamp, and then pour everything with liquid concrete. If you make the frame from a pipe, there are no questions; for a tree, you can use “P”-shaped fasteners with a pin mounted in the lower part. Here it can be bent and poured with concrete.
For even greater reliability, crossbars are attached to the legs, which turn out to be slightly recessed into the ground. They are hammered with U-shaped staples.

This option is both stone and wood. Oprahs made of timber are installed on columns made of rubble. The style is the same - dried trees are used as supports.
Making a gazebo with your own hands is quite a feasible task for people who have imagination and creativity. So, in order to build a gazebo, you need to perform certain actions. The first thing to do is to choose the material from which you will make the gazebo. Arbors can be made of metal, wood, plastic, or anything else, depending on your skills and capabilities. In this article we will consider the main types of gazebos and materials for their construction. Before starting construction, it is necessary to develop an appropriate scheme. This also applies to the construction of a gazebo with your own hands: drawings and dimensions, diagrams, sketches and projects of future buildings will give a clear idea of the type and shape of the structure, the materials needed for construction, the location of all structural elements. A set of graphic documents will allow you to calculate the cost of construction and avoid unreasonable financial costs.

Types of gazebos for self-construction
The appearance on the construction market of various materials with unique properties made it possible to move away from the usual types of gazebos and give light structures various non-trivial forms. The functions of modern country arbors have changed in many ways and today they are not just pavilions where you can relax, but also full-fledged summer kitchens or cozy guest houses. Due to the ease of construction from current building materials, many people can assemble and install a gazebo on their own. The complexity of such construction largely depends on the type of gazebo. The photo confirms the variety of forms and purposes of light structures.

Given the various characteristics, it can be divided into several groups:
- open - easy to erect, used mainly for summer holidays;
- closed - solid structures with walls, doors and windows. Can be used both in summer and in winter;
- portable - seasonal collapsible structures that are easily dismantled and can be installed anywhere.
The list of materials used for construction is quite diverse. It can be products made of wood, metal, glass, plastic, stone, brick, as well as their combinations. In addition, buildings made from improvised materials are very popular, where any, sometimes the most unpredictable, raw materials are used: glass and plastic bottles, wooden pallets, tree trunks and much more, depending on the imagination of the craftsmen.
Close-up view of a gazebo made of wooden multi-colored boards
The shapes and sizes are chosen taking into account the dimensions of the site: if the area is small, then the design of significant dimensions will look out of place. As for the configuration of buildings, these can be square, rectangular, round, hexagonal, octagonal structures, as well as buildings of any other complex models, including in the form of a hemisphere.
Useful advice! If you are doing the construction work for the first time, use the recommendations, photos, do-it-yourself drawings of gazebos posted by users on the Internet. This will help to avoid possible errors during installation.
Round metal gazebo in the garden
To cover the roof in gazebos, slate, corrugated board, cellular and monolithic polycarbonate, flexible tiles and other materials are used. Given the plasticity of many coatings, roof structures can be made in various ways: single-pitched, multi-pitched, spherical, domed, hipped, arched and multi-level. Buildings are quite common, where the roof and walls are living climbing plants. AT recent times functional arbors are gaining popularity, performing the role summer kitchens, with barbecues, barbecues or fireplaces. The presence of such equipment imposes certain requirements on the technology of their construction, observing which you can build gazebos with your own hands. Drawings and projects, sketches and ordinal plans for laying furnaces will make the construction of the building as easy as possible and help to accurately calculate the cost of construction.
Arbor made of wood with an equipped bench-swing
How to build a gazebo with your own hands? Projects, photos, drawings of structures of various shapes and designs are available in myriad on the Internet. But you can develop your own individual version. For those who are not sure that they will be able to correctly prepare all the schemes or who have chosen a too complex design, it is recommended to use ready-made drawings. The drafting of the project includes several stages: the creation of a sketch of the future building and the preparation of working drawings. Schemes and sketches will make it possible already at this stage to plan the location of the gazebo relative to the site, outline the arrangement of furniture and equipment, fix the places for supplying communications and determine the consumption of building material.
Sketch open gazebo near the reservoir
Some recommendations will allow you to draw up a working draft as correctly as possible:
- choose the type of structure: open or closed;
- carefully consider the design of the gazebo, which must match the style of the existing buildings and are determined with the materials of construction;
- choose the place of future construction on the territory of the site;
- the dimensions on the drawing must correspond to the dimensions of the allotted space. The drawing indicates the height, length, width of the structure, the location of the supporting stacks, the entrance, as well as the shape and height of the fence;
- include drawings with projections in the project: facade image, sections, layout and diagrams of technical components of the structure. Display all sizes and types of gazebos;
3D project of a rectangular wooden gazebo
- if a closed building is supposed, a ventilation scheme is prescribed;
- separately develop a work plan for the foundation indicating its type (tape, columnar or slab base);
- describe diagrams of structural units: indicate the dimensions and installation locations of doors, windows, stairs;
- separately perform a roof scheme with the designation of its dimensions, configuration, angles of inclination, height, coating material;
- indicate the technology of erecting walls, roofs, barbecue facilities (if any). For gazebos with fireplaces, stoves, barbecues, a plan for the orderly laying of bricks is attached, indicating all sizes of equipment;
- perform wiring and water supply schemes;
Project of a gazebo with a barbecue grill
- develop a plan for the placement of fixtures, furniture and equipment;
- make a specification for Construction Materials, including fasteners, processing impregnations and hardware.
The more carefully the project is carried out, the more accurate the calculations will be. required amount materials, it will be easier to build and more likely that the structure will be reliable and strong. Use in the preparation of the basic project photos, drawings of gazebos for giving with your own hands, which craftsmen are happy to share.
How to build a wooden gazebo with your own hands. Photos and drawings of structures
When choosing a material for construction, many prefer wood. Wooden models fit perfectly into the exterior adjoining territory and look harmonious in the garden. In addition, wood is a fairly durable, environmentally friendly and durable material that is easy to process. As a rule, wooden gazebos are made in the open version. For the construction, timber, logs, boards, lattice of planks and other wooden elements are used.

Rectangular wooden gazebo
The simplest option for independent design and construction is the construction of a square or rectangular shape. This is a light open structure, consisting of support posts, a roof and a fence. The drawings reflect the dimensions of the structure, the height of the support posts, the configuration of the roof, indicating the height and angles of inclination, the height and pattern of the fence. Drawings of the frontal and profile projections of the gazebo are being made. A separate diagram depicts the foundation for the structure (usually used columnar base). This indicates the depth of the pillars and the distance between them, which depends on the size of the building.
The project of a rectangular wooden gazebo with a fence and stairs
Useful advice! For the convenience of performing work, it is necessary to attach to the project detailed diagrams of technical units, which will indicate the options for attaching the elements to each other.
In the roof drawings, it is necessary to display the truss system, indicating the method of attaching the upper trim, the lower support for the rafters (Mauerlat), and also set the step between the rafters. When all the drawings and diagrams are ready, you can proceed to the independent construction of the structure. First of all, prepare and mark the site for construction. To do this, use pegs with a construction cord. After the perimeter is fixed, proceed to the foundation.
Drawing with dimensions of a square wooden gazebo
To complete the foundation, according to the drawings, pits are dug about 70-80 cm deep, the bottom is filled with a layer of sand, and then the support posts are inserted and concreted. When performing work, it is necessary to check the verticality of all supports and their equidistance from each other along the entire height. Then they proceed to the implementation of the lower strapping and the installation of the floor from the log. To do this, use wooden bars. When the floor frame is assembled, arrange the flooring from the boards. Next, the upper trim is fixed, the roof frame is assembled using the prepared schemes, the frame is sheathed with a board and covered with roofing material.
Step-by-step construction scheme
Installation of the fence is carried out when the design of the gazebo is fully assembled and installed. First, horizontal bars are fixed, serving as a railing, and then vertical supports (balusters) of the fence are fixed. If the project provides for a wooden lattice as a fence, then frames are prepared from a bar according to the given dimensions, inside which planks are stuffed in the form of a grid.
Wooden projects with barbecue, barbecue
Before proceeding with the development of the project of the gazebo itself with a barbecue or fireplace, it is necessary to make a sketch, which will indicate the location of the gazebo on the site. Due to the fact that water and gas are often supplied to such structures, it is necessary to properly plan its installation site. In addition, the direction of the wind should be taken into account, in which the smoke from the stove would not spread to other buildings.
Photo: a spacious gazebo equipped with a barbecue oven
Wooden gazebos with a barbecue, stove or fireplace usually replace summer kitchens in terms of functionality. Such structures can be built both open and closed. Variants of closed buildings are often used in winter, therefore, at the design stage, wall insulation and high-quality ventilation may be provided. Designing gazebos with barbecue, barbecue or fireplace is a rather complicated process. For such structures, it is important to take into account not only the foundation for the pavilion itself, but also directly for the furnace equipment, since brick building has a fairly large weight. Most often, a separate tiled foundation is arranged under the brazier or fireplace, and for the building itself - columnar or tape.
Brick and wood sketch with barbecue and stove
Useful advice! To avoid the appearance of cracks in the concrete base under the barbecue or fireplace, it is necessary to apply reinforcement of the foundation with steel bars.
The drawings display all dimensions, layout with the designation of the location of the barbecue or fireplace. The diagram of the foundation and the chimney is shown separately. The project also includes drawings of the brazier itself, indicating the shape and dimensions of the brazier, the number of firing points and the orderly laying of bricks during construction.

When developing a plan, it is required to make the correct zoning of space. It is necessary to provide for a safe location of the dining table and provide free access to the barbecue or fireplace for preventive and maintenance activities. It is also extremely important to indicate the dimensions of the floor area around the furnace equipment where the fireproof material will be laid. The use of buildings with a barbecue and a stove as a summer kitchen involves connecting water, gas and electricity networks to them. In this regard, the project includes wiring diagrams indicating the location of electrical outlets, as well as wiring diagrams for gas and water networks.

Well done projects wooden arbors with fireplaces, stoves or barbecues, will avoid mistakes in the rather complex construction of such structures.
How to build a metal gazebo with your own hands. Photos, drawings and diagrams
In addition to wood, metal is often used for construction: iron or aluminum. This material is durable and products from it do not need repair. The elements are connected using welding. Models of gazebos made of metal can have a stationary or collapsible design. In the case of a collapsible version, bolted connections are used as fasteners.
Useful advice! One of the conditions for the durability of a metal structure is surface treatment with anti-corrosion agents and timely painting.
Hexagonal metal gazebo with pointed roof
When planning the location, it must be taken into account that metal elements become very hot in hot weather. In this regard, it is recommended to carry out such structures open and install in the garden. Before starting the project, it is necessary to think over a design that would match the style of the existing exterior. The dimensions laid down in the drawings of a metal gazebo depend on the estimated number of people who can be inside it, as well as furniture and the availability of certain equipment (barbecue, barbecue).
Drawing of a metal gazebo with forged elements
Many people use ready-made schemes for the construction of buildings of this type, photos of which can be found on the Internet. Relatively easy to install is a rectangular design with dimensions of 2.5x3 m. This model will not be bulky and at the same time it can accommodate a table and several seats for a comfortable stay.
Arbor from a profile pipe. Drawings, photos of finished structures
Due to a number of properties of a profiled metal pipe, many people use this material to build this type of arbor. Structures from the profile are easy to erect, excellent resistance to weathering and durability. In addition, this material is relatively inexpensive, and the structures made from the profile have a decent neat appearance.
Photo: gazebo from profile pipe with fabric canopy
Before proceeding with manufacturing, it is necessary to select the type and shape of the structure, prepare drawings, check the availability of the necessary materials and tools for installation. A photo of a gazebo from a profile pipe demonstrates various configurations of these structures: rectangular, hexagonal, square and other more complex shapes.
Useful advice! For those who do not have sufficient skills in working with a welding machine, and also for the first time mounting a gazebo, it is recommended to choose designs of simple shapes.
The project of arranging a rectangular gazebo from a metal profile
Sketches and drawings, you can do it yourself or use ready-made schemes, proportionally changing the dimensions to suit your version. In the drawings, it is necessary to indicate all dimensions, to perform all calculations as accurately as possible, since it will depend on this appearance design and selection of necessary materials. For the construction of the structure, the following materials will be needed: concrete, a profile pipe, a primer for processing metal surfaces, fittings, roofing material. Of the tools you will need: a building level, a drill with a set of drills, a grinder, a welding machine, a shovel, fasteners.
The project of a square gazebo from a metal pipe with wooden benches
Having chosen and marked out a place for the structure, they proceed to the device of the pits. Their number is determined by the number of supports, according to the drawings. Pits are made with a depth of about 60 cm. The height of the support posts is taken taking into account this value. For supports, a profile with a section of 80x80 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm is used, to which the supporting metal heels are welded. This will give the structure additional stability. The bottom of the prepared pits is covered with rubble, carefully tamped, support posts are inserted and concreted. At this stage, it is important to maintain the maximum verticality of the installed racks. To do this, as soon as the concrete hardens a little, the position of each support is checked and leveled.

After installing the supports, it is necessary to withstand about 2 days until the concrete has completely set, and then proceed to the lower horizontal piping. For it, a profile of a smaller section is used, which is welded to the supports at a certain height above the ground. The distance from the ground to the horizontal strapping is taken so that it is as comfortable as possible to enter the gazebo. Next, proceed to the manufacture of the roof. A system of rafters is formed from the profile according to the schemes. For a gable shape, a profile is welded at an angle of 15 degrees. For the convenience of attaching the roofing material, a profile pipe is welded to the roof frame as a crate in increments of 45 cm. On this, the frame is considered assembled.

Arbor from polycarbonate. Photos of original models
The main advantage of transparent polycarbonate is its compatibility with other materials. Arbors made of polycarbonate can decorate any yard. With polycarbonate sheets, you can decorate not only the roof of the gazebo, but also make the walls of the pavilion from it or use it as a fence.
Types of gazebos made of polycarbonate
Models made of polycarbonate are distinguished by an incredible variety of shapes. This is due to the plasticity of the material, light weight and ease of installation. Designs can have an oval, round, rectangular, spherical shape, as well as an asymmetric configuration. Structures are open or closed.

The roofs of buildings covered with polycarbonate can be single-pitched, multi-pitched, arched, semi-arched, hipped, spherical, domed and multi-level. Diversity colors polycarbonate panels allows you to give the space inside any shade, taking into account your preferences. Types of polycarbonate gazebos can be made in combination with a profile pipe, forged metal, wood, stone, brick, and also combined from several types of material. Quite often you can find structures with an arched covering in the form of a canopy adjacent to the main house. The choice of one or another material for a building with a polycarbonate coating depends on the presence of similar elements in the exterior.

According to the functional purpose, the structure made of polycarbonate can be used as children's playgrounds, summer kitchens, lounges and guest rooms. The dimensions of the structures can be voluminous with a barbecue or barbecue and completely miniature, under which there is a couple of small benches and a table. Do-it-yourself photos of polycarbonate gazebos demonstrate original models of various shapes.
Building a gazebo with your own hands from metal and polycarbonate
Construction should begin with the development of drawings and sketches of the structure. In the drawings, it is necessary to describe the structural scheme of the frame, all dimensions and methods of fastening the elements. This will help you calculate correctly. necessary materials and accurately cut the frame and cover elements.
Metal and polycarbonate are great for arranging
Useful advice! Polycarbonate should be cut with a saw with fine teeth or at low speed grinders. This will help to get an even cut and prevent the plastic from crumbling.
A concrete platform is suitable for the foundation for the structure. For its device, a layer of vegetation is removed, crushed stone 5-6 cm thick is laid and concrete is poured with a layer of up to 10 cm.
The project of arranging a gazebo made of metal and polycarbonate
Installation of racks-supports of the frame is carried out simultaneously with the device of the base. Pits are made at the corners of the perimeter with a depth of 60 cm and profile pipes with a section of 50x50 mm are inserted into them. After that, the racks are concreted, paying attention to the verticality of the installation and the identity of the depth of each of them. After the support pillars are installed, the upper trim and horizontal beams (girders) from the profile pipe are attached to them by welding. These elements will subsequently serve as the basis for fastening benches and fencing made of polycarbonate panels. Optionally, the fence can be made not only from plastic, but also from any other material, for example, natural stone, wood or forged elements.

The roof can be made in a single-pitched version. To do this, small sections of pipes are welded to the profile of the upper trim, to which they are subsequently welded inclined pipes. The height of the racks is selected in such a way as to provide a sufficient slope for precipitation to fall off the roof. To stiffen the roof structure, an intermediate pipe is welded in the middle of the slope, to which polycarbonate panels will be attached.
Installation of polycarbonate sheets
Sheets of cellular polycarbonate during installation are laid so that the channels (honeycombs) inside the sheet are located as vertically as possible: this will ensure the removal of moisture to the outside. It should be noted that the marked surface of the sheets must be on top, where the material is treated with a protective film. Plastic panels are laid end-to-end, interconnected by a special profile.

Holes for fasteners are made with a slightly larger diameter than self-tapping screws. The distance from the edge of the sheet to the first connection should not be less than 40 mm. The joining line of the panels should be located along the frame elements. To ensure the tightness of point connections - use thermal washers in the color of plastic. At the end of the work, the edges of the sheets should be properly processed. To do this, the upper end is closed with a sealed tape, and the lower end with a perforated tape. Such processing will not allow dust to enter the panel and at the same time ensure the removal of moisture from the plastic channels.
Making a joint between polycarbonate sheets
A gazebo made of polycarbonate and other materials, assembled independently in strict accordance with the drawings and diagrams, will have a solid construction and will last a fairly long time. It will perfectly decorate the site and will become a favorite vacation spot for the whole family.
