How to make your own hands arbor

Find a suitable location

Suitable flat area or a small hill, to protect the foundation from rain. It is desirable that at this point a good view of the surroundings.

For the rest, it all depends on your preferences. Garden furniture can be both close to home and in the bottom of the garden closer to the border. In the first case it is convenient to use as a dining room, in the second - as a retreat for a relaxing holiday or reading.

If in the area a lot of sun, a gazebo is better positioned in the shade of trees. If the summer is short and does not spoil the warm, choose the open lawn.

Decide on the size of

This primarily depends on the number of people who will meet regularly to rest. It is also important to consider whether in the building, except for the table and chairs, hammock, Grill and other equipment.

Pergolas are conventionally divided into three types:

• Small (up to 10 m²), designed for 4-6 people, do not involve the kitchen area and more suitable for families. The optimum size - 3 × 3 m Option modest -. 2 × 2 m.

• Medium (10-20 m²) - easily accommodate 10-15 people, or more hosts and one or two guests of the family. The area allows you to select seating area and kitchen. The optimum size - 4 × 4 × 3 m or 5 m.
• Large (more than 20 m²) - for noisy companies for 20 or more people. Popular sizes of 5 × 5 × 6 m and 6 m, and 5 × 6 × 5 m and 7 m.

The height of the arbor should be less than 2-2.2 m from the floor to the roof eaves. For larger buildings should increase this parameter, or the appearance will disproportionate.

Select form

Visual beauty is largely dependent on the shape of the gazebo. The construction of the easiest way to square and rectangular. Round and polygonal look much more advantageous, but require more labor and materials.

For small buildings is better to choose a square shape. The average can be done by any. But the large gazebo is preferable to build a six-or octagonal, to make it look more elegant.

lay the foundation of

Only purchased arbor-tents with a tubular frame and curtain coating may be used without a solid base. For everyone else, need at least a light, but the foundation.

Since the weight of such buildings is small, the use of monolithic strip foundations and impractical. Optimal pier foundation. It is suitable for all types of pavilions, except the brick.

Proceed as follows:

• Mark the perimeter of the future building. Designate angular locations intermediate and central column. The distance between them should be 1,5-2 m.
• Dig Drill holes or a depth of 0.5-0.8 m. On the bottom of each pour and tamp the gravel layer. Then a layer of sand that is too tough.
• Make formwork height of 20-25 cm from the boards, plywood or sewer pipes to form the aerial parts of pillars.
• Pour the concrete pillars. For strength lay inside the valve. If desired, anchors may be set with thread for convenient attachment of the waist.

Follow the harness base

It is needed for load balancing and bonding all the pillars in a monolithic structure.

Typically used timber 100 × 100 mm, which is mounted on the pillars via the waterproofing layer. For example, pieces of roofing material. The nodes contiguity timber zapilivajut sectional half and connect galvanized (yellow) screws or nails. If there are anchors, the wood drill and fasten them with nuts and washers.

To protect the wood from rotting and insects treat its special composition or old motor oil.

When enough small size arbor binding only on the perimeter. If the structure is longer than 2 meters, is additionally installed one or more beams in the middle.

Make the floor

There are several options. The most simple - a flooring from boards, it's great for wooden buildings and is used more often. You can also make an ordinary concrete floor or lay paving slabs. These floors are good for pavilions and sheds with metal frame and capital brick pavilions.

Floor boards

It is convenient to do immediately after the tying, and then to collect on the boardwalk frame. To do this, set the level with the bar tying logs in increments of 50-70 cm and place on top of the board, securing it with nails.

Concrete screed

Pour the floor can be both at the start and at the end of construction. Remove the fertile topsoil and set along the perimeter of the shuttering boards. Sprinkle ground sand bed of 10-15 cm and well tamp. Then a second layer of lay of 10 cm of gravel and seal the same. Prepare the mortar and screed fill. For the strength can be put into a mesh.

paving slabs

It can be mounted immediately or at the end of work. For laying pre remove soil layer. Next, prepare a sandy base and tamp it thoroughly. Then install the curbs on the perimeter and on the angle of lay tile.

Assemble the frame

Depending on the frame strut structure can be made from a wooden beam 100 mm × 100 - 150 × 150 mm or metal profile. Beam is fastened with screws, and further fixed mounting angle. Metal joined by welding or bolts.

Regardless of the material skeleton structure is installed in the corners and sides of the doorway. Very long spans between the main uprights added intermediate. After setting the level of the frame to temporarily fix the struts of wooden slats.

At a height of about 1 m along the perimeter of the horizontal beams mounted design 100 × 100 mm or metal pipes. They connect the frame and serve as handrails. They need to strengthen the diagonal struts to give structure rigidity.

Follow the upper stud

It is exactly the same as the bottom. Piping connects the frame and the rack serves as the basis for the roof.

If desired, the upper loop can be made even with the lower and then raise and fix the right moment.

Select the type of material and the roof

The configuration of the roof depends on the shape of the structure.

• Pent - the most simple to manufacture and in appearance, convenient to the square and rectangular gazebo.
• Roof - suitable for rectangular buildings.
• And hipped hipped hipped and mnogoskatnaya - the most sophisticated and beautiful, suitable for square and polygonal gazebo.

To use any roofing material on the basis of budget and personal preferences. Ondulin, shingles and polycarbonate simpler and easier to use for beginners. Trapezoidal sheet metal and will bring more trouble, especially on the roof of the complex shape.

If the site already has other buildings, the roof should be in harmony with them. However, this is true only for cases where the gazebo is located next to the house. If she is alone or in back of the garden, the roof can be any.

Assemble the truss system

To reduce snow load angle of slope of the roof must be at least 30 degrees. Rafters going to farm on the land and rise to the top or mounted directly onto the top harness.

Depending on the type of roof trusses over stuffed sheathing (for metal, the profiled sheet) or the solid base (for shingles).

Mount the roof

mounting technology of roofing material in each case is different, but in general, in the following order.

First the coating, and then additional elements: the ridge and the end plate. At least water drainage system is installed, if it is provided by the project.

sew wall

The final stage of construction - wall decoration. Usually sheathe only the lower part to the level of the railing, and anything higher is left open. There are lots of options for every taste and budget:

• Lining, block house, OSB-boards - tree looks good, and further strengthens the structure.
• Polycarbonate - protected from the wind, but transmits light. Easy to assemble.
• Steel sheet - a solid wall, provides shade and protection from wind.
• Decorative grid - for both the lower and upper parts of the walls.
• Creepers - thick hedges to protect from sun and rain better than solid walls, with the looks nicer.
• Leave as it is - the design will be well purged and look very elegant.
