Each owner of a country house seeks to equip his plot with maximum comfort. And an indispensable attribute of a competent organization is such a universal architectural object as a cozy gazebo. With your own hands you can build an excellent building from improvised materials in which it is so pleasant to spend time with friends on a warm summer evening.
It is important to choose a good place for future construction. The gazebo, built by hand from improvised materials, should be located near the house, preferably in the shade of trees. Indeed, despite the fact that this structure has a roof, it can heat up in the heat, and it will not be very comfortable to spend time in it.
Before you begin to build a gazebo with your own hands from improvised materials, you should decide what type of building you plan to build on your site. There are two types of such structures: temporary and permanent. As temporary arbors, fabric tents or tents are actively used. There is no point in making them yourself - there are many similar products on sale in any shape and size. The advantage of these models is that in the cold season they can be easily folded and stored. But the constant arbor, with your own hands from improvised materials that everyone can make, is built once and for all.
After you have decided on the location of the future building, it is worth deciding which material you want to build it from. Most often, brick, wood or metal is used for these purposes . Wooden arbors have earned the greatest popularity among the townsfolk. For their construction, you can use any material you have. However, if you previously did any crafts from improvised materials with your own hands, then you know that the wood must be treated with special compounds before starting work, otherwise it will lose its pleasant appearance and darken over time.
If you decide to build a gazebo of stone or brick, then such a structure is better to erect in large spacious areas. Such buildings look monumental and will look great next to the Alpine slides. A do-it-yourself gazebo made from improvised materials can be made of unprocessed natural stone, it will be valued much higher.
A construction made of forged metal looks very good and noble. It is fireproof, durable, not subject to corrosion and decay and is able to fit into any architectural style of the site.
When installing any gazebo, it is recommended to use a columnar foundation, since the weight of the structure is relatively small. The shape of the future structure depends on your preferences: the gazebo can be rectangular, round or hexagonal. The roof can also be of any shape. The arbor is most often covered with tiles or galvanized iron. You can also find structures covered with straw or reeds.
After the gazebo with your own hands from improvised materials is built, you should proceed to its design. Buildings surrounded by lush vegetation or climbing flowers look very good . Properly selected garden furniture - plastic or wicker - will become the main element of the interior decoration of the gazebo.
