How to build an inexpensive gazebo. Do-it-yourself garden gazebos: the process of installing a wooden gazebo

Country houses in most cases do not require any frills or aesthetics. Comfort and practicality are quite enough. That's why today we'll look at budget options gazebos that you can implement on your site with maximum savings money and time.

The main thing is to avoid THESE consequences in pursuit of the budget.

First of all, we will look at photos of inexpensive country houses.

At the end, instructions will be presented for the construction of a budget gazebo that has brick foundation and a frame made of edged boards.

When the cost of purchase comes to the fore, it is usually difficult to choose anything. Either the quality is not satisfactory, or the materials are “collective farm”, or you can’t look at the structure without tears.

Made from dark wood

In view of this, there are many options, but few of them are sensible. We tried to select the best in terms of price, quality and appearance, but this is our subjective opinion, which may differ from yours.

We give preference to inexpensive buildings made of wood (100 by 100 timber or edged boards), with the simplest foundation and inexpensive roofing. Depending on the size, the price varies up or down. Small buildings will always cost much less than large ones.

Choosing cheap material

What material makes the cheapest gazebo? Possible different solutions, but in most cases it all comes down to one thing:

• which you have in stock.
• Boards or timber 100 by 100 mm for the frame.
• OSB or for cladding.
• or metal tiles for the roof.

The rafter system should be the simplest - or. We will use brick as the base, although you can pay a little extra and purchase foundation blocks. They are much more reliable.

Construction of a budget gazebo

Below is presented to you step-by-step instruction for the construction of a wooden gazebo. First of all, let's look at the final result that you should get after following all the recommendations.

An interesting, small and budget building with lathing. What else do you need for a real country holiday? 🙂

Foundation

The wildest and purest country option This is to install bricks as a base. In general, it’s a risky business, but it’s worth a penny and works well.

As an alternative, we can offer 20 by 20 by 40 cm, which will create more solid foundation for your future gazebo.

Coating joints with bitumen and installing joists

Construction of the frame

The rectangular shape of the building requires the installation of pillars along the entire perimeter. To do this, use fairly thick boards (it is best to use “fifty”) in the amount of seven pieces.

It is assumed that the entrance to the gazebo will only be on one side, so the second will be covered with cladding.

Roof and roof installation

Gable rafter system can be assembled on the ground, then lifted up and secured. Either all work should be done at a high level, but it is still advisable to prepare the material in advance.

Start of laying the floorboard

The floor was painted green color, which will wear off over time. It is recommended to process all wood material antiseptic to delay the rotting process for several years, and only then cover it with paint.

Video instruction

Several thousand views of this video on the Youtube channel " Сhildren of Siberia 55“prove that the idea of ​​this building has the right to life. In general, reviews about construction are positive, so we also recommend this approach.

The only thing that bothers me is the brick base. Still, the load-bearing capacity of bricks is very large, but a few bricks for a whole gazebo with people... To be honest, this matter bothers me. Apparently the guys really know what they are doing.

A gazebo is an integral attribute of modern suburban areas. Where else, if not in the gazebo, can you relax and breathe? fresh air, admire your garden. Since the gazebo is a light structure, in some ways, even airy, the scope for creativity when constructing a gazebo opens up limitless. But everything should be in moderation, as they say - without fanaticism. The design of the gazebo should correspond to the general spirit and style that reigns in the suburban area. Of course, a gazebo in the form Chinese pagoda That's very beautiful. But then, to match it, you will have to build a rock garden around it so that it is a complete composition, and the pagoda-shaped gazebo does not discord with the surrounding environment.

An important element is the size of the gazebo. And here we must proceed from the principle of proportionality. How smaller garden, the more elegant and lighter the gazebo design should be. In some cases, you can also use lightweight, collapsible design.
The location of the gazebo also plays a big role. If you install it in the sun, you won't get much pleasure. The optimal location of the gazebo is a place next to trees, or under the canopy of trees, which will bring coolness. A good option The location of the gazebo is its installation next to a body of water, natural or artificial. And it is advisable that the place for the gazebo be chosen in a place where there are no sources of noise.

Classification of gazebos

Gazebos are classified according to different criteria. Gazebos are divided into stationary and portable. Stationary gazebos include gazebos built on a foundation, which makes them difficult to move from place to place, and built from durable materials. Portable gazebos are lightweight, mainly collapsible structures, which are installed in those places where it is necessary in this moment.
Gazebos are classified according to the type of material from which they are made. The most commonly used material is wood. Metal is also used in the construction of gazebos. In this case, metal gazebos are divided into forged and welded.
Stone, both natural and artificial, and concrete are also used for the construction of gazebos. These are massive structures that are rarely seen.
Gazebos are divided into open and closed. Outdoor gazebos include mushroom gazebos, tent gazebos and pergolas. Mushroom gazebos are used by site owners who do not want to clutter their site with unnecessary structures. Tent gazebos are a structure consisting of a table, chairs or benches and covered with an awning on top. Pergolas are special structures designed for growing climbing plants. They have solid foundation and structure to withstand wind loads. Pergolas come in a variety of shapes - round, multifaceted, linear, fan-shaped.

Closed gazebos are a type of terrace. Such gazebos are usually glazed, often insulated, heat is supplied to them or internal heating is used. In such gazebos the winter cold is not scary either.

In addition, gazebos are divided according to the type of roof used. On gazebos, spherical roofs are used, domed, single-slope and gable, hip (four-slope), hipped, pseudo-Chinese.

Gazebo with grill or barbecue

It will not be an exaggeration to say that all people living or traveling on holiday suburban areas and dachas, they really like to cook food outdoors. And the main dish, which is especially often prepared in this case, is fried meat. These are shish kebab or steaks made from meat or fish, cooked on a barbecue. It would seem, what is the difficulty here? Place the grill in the gazebo and talk with friends while the barbecue is being prepared. But this decision is fundamentally wrong. It will be inconvenient to talk, and it will be inconvenient to monitor the grill. Most gazebos are built based on healthy minimalism, and are designed to accommodate a table, chairs or benches. AND extra space They usually don't. In addition, smoke from burning wood or coal will remain in the gazebo, and no one will get any pleasure from it.
To avoid these inconveniences, it is necessary, even at the design stage of the gazebo, to provide for the placement of a barbecue and a hood. It would seem that everything is obvious, but such thoughts come when the gazebo has already been built. How to get out of this situation? One option is to build an additional extension to the gazebo, but in such a way that the design of the gazebo does not deteriorate, and place a barbecue with a hood in this extension. Thus, we sort of divide the gazebo into two zones - a recreation area and work area. In this case, it increases Fire safety, and eliminates the possibility of burns to guests from a nearby barbecue.
If you want to build a stationary barbecue from brick, then when building a gazebo, it is necessary to provide for the construction of a foundation for the barbecue, since in this situation there will be no floor reliable support. In addition, you will need a place to store firewood or charcoal, for fireplace accessories, and shelves for other accessories.

Polycarbonate gazebos

IN Lately appeared on the market new material, gaining increasing popularity among owners of summer cottages and suburban areas. This new material is called cellular polycarbonate. It has outstanding physicochemical and mechanical characteristics, which ensure its popularity. Polycarbonate is a very durable material (10 times higher than plexiglass), it transmits well sunlight, while providing protection from ultraviolet radiation, is resistant to aggressive chemicals, provides excellent sound and heat insulation, and can withstand extreme temperatures without changing its properties: from -50 to +125 degrees Celsius. And, what is very important for summer residents, it can be processed perfectly without breaking.
Below are several examples of the use of polycarbonate in summer cottages and suburban areas.

Building a gazebo with your own hands (1 option)

Next we will talk about the construction of a wooden gazebo measuring 3 by 3 meters. After determining the location of the gazebo and marking the territory, the foundation of the future gazebo is built. You can learn more about the types of foundations from the article “Types of foundations for building construction”
In this case, a columnar foundation made of bricks was used. All pillars are displayed on the same level. Iron rods with a diameter of 10 mm are mounted in four corner posts. Their height is approximately 200 mm.

The finished foundation looks like this.

Beams measuring 100x100 mm make the base of the gazebo. At the junction points, the beams are fastened “half-wood”. First, holes are drilled in the beams for attachment to iron pins.

Don't forget about waterproofing between the foundation and the beams. A piece of roofing felt is quite suitable as insulation.

Then pillars are made from 100x100 mm beams. Their height is 2.3 m. They are processed with an electric planer. Before installation, a cut is made in the middle of the post for future diagonal strapping. The cut size is 40 width x 80 height x diagonally through the post. (for use in tying 40 mm boards with a width of 100 mm)

Holes are drilled at the lower ends of the posts for attachment to the rods. After this, the pillars are aligned vertically and secured with temporary struts. Additionally, they can be secured with screws to the base beams.

The intersection of the boards can be reinforced with 40x40 mm bars.

At the edges of the bundle, a part of the board is selected with a size of 20 mm in height and 100 mm from the edge of the board.

Then the diagonal strapping is inserted into the cuts and secured with nails to the ends of the pillars.

After this, the external tying of the pillars is done.

The roof of the gazebo is supposed to be hipped. A block 80 cm long (roof height) is cut from a 100x100 mm beam, in which a cut is made into which the first two rafters will be inserted.

After this, the post with the rafters is installed so that the post rests on the middle of the diagonal tie, and the rafters rest on the vertical posts. The rafters extend beyond the gazebo to a distance of 40-50 cm. The rafters are secured with 200 mm nails or screws. After this, the other two are fixed diagonal rafters. They are attached to the post with an overlay.

Then the rafters are fixed, which lie on the outer frame of the pillars. Secure with nails and screws.

To make the entrance, two columns 90 cm high are prepared from 100x100 mm timber, in which a hole is drilled in the lower end.

Pieces of reinforcement are driven into the lower beam, pre-sharpened onto which bars are placed.

Then the short railings of the gazebo, located on the side of the entrance to it, are attached to the bars with screws.

After this, the roof sheathing is done.

For the pillars of the gazebo, stationary struts are made from 40x70 mm timber. They are secured with screws, and the temporary struts are removed.

From the entrance side, the struts are made crosswise to strengthen the short railings and low posts. At the intersection, the struts are connected “half-tree”.

To enhance bearing capacity gazebos, between bottom beam and railings, and between the railings and rafters, additional posts are installed. The entrance is also strengthened. The result is this.

Then 30x40 blocks are nailed under the railing and onto the lower beam, to which the lining will be attached.

The lining is nailed to the bars, both outside and inside.

After this, the flooring is carried out roofing material. Yes, don’t forget to treat the surface with a moisture-repellent impregnation. This will prevent the formation of mold and rotting of the wood. As a roofing material, you can offer soft tiles or any other roofing material.

You can learn more about the variations of roofing materials in the section "Roofing Materials".
In the upper part of the gazebo (from the railing to the top frame of the pillars) a decorative sheathing is made. In addition to its purely decorative function, it strengthens the structure of the gazebo.

It will also be possible to grow climbing plants along this trellis. Then the pediment is installed, which is attached to the rafters.

All surfaces must be treated with stain or other moisture-repellent composition. This can be done both as the gazebo is being built and after its construction is completed. And now the gazebo is ready.

Do-it-yourself gazebo with entrances from the end, with benches and a table (option 2)

This type of gazebo is the most common. It is often offered for sale in various construction markets. This is an option when you have a canopy over your head, benches are attached to the walls, there is a sun in the middle, and there are two entrances (exits) to the sides.

First we assemble the frame. Initially, spacer technological ties can be installed, later they can be removed...

And sheathing for corrugated sheets

attach the corrugated sheet to the sheathing

Naturally on both sides

This is the view. Now the technological ties can be removed.

We are starting to make benches.

Now the table

Everything needs to be sanded from skidding and unevenness... Without automated tools it won’t be easy.

That's general form the resulting gazebo. All that remains is to cover it with paintwork, which imparts color and protective properties.

Now the next option for making a gazebo.

Do-it-yourself gazebo from ready-made modules (option 3)

An example of this gazebo is a modular design. In fact, the floor and walls are made in the form of panels that are assembled. Rafters are mounted on them, flexible tiles. In the end, a porch is made. More on all this below.
First of all, this gazebo requires modules - shields. They consist of a platform with windows at a certain height (3 pieces) and one module with an entrance door.

The edges of the modules are attached to a beam that will be installed vertically. There is also a modular, assembled floor.

In fact, the floor is the base of the gazebo installed on a columnar foundation. Let's start with the foundation. We install pillars from bricks or pour them from concrete.

Then we cover them with a sand cushion and let them settle.

Next, we install the floor and beams at its corners. We install the floor through insulating material so that it does not pick up water from the stone. The boards can also be pre-treated with a corrosive compound. Between the vertical bars coming from the floor we place walls - shields.

Now you need to install the rafters on the roof.

We put boards on the rafters. In our case, the gazebo will be covered soft tiles, so the boards are mounted close to each other.

We cut off excessively protruding rafters after installing the roof boards

Now it's the turn of the tiles. We unfold it and fasten it on four sides.

You can also do small stairs, for ease of access to the height of the gazebo floor

We treat all visible parts with stain and varnish. Our summerhouse from modules is ready.

DIY hexagonal gazebo (option 4)

And we will consider one more option for the gazebo. This time the gazebo has a hexagonal base. As always, it all starts with the foundation. In our case, it is completely “none”. It is preferable to make at least a columnar foundation at each corner of the gazebo floor.

We assemble the hexagon at the base. The timber is best secured with a tongue-and-groove joint.

Place a floorboard on the floor.

We install vertical bars at the corners of the floor

We connect them from above with rafters and ceilings.

We make a sheathing for the corrugated sheet that will cover the roof of the gazebo

We install corrugated sheets and ridges on the roof bends

Let's take on the railings. We mount the lintels from below and above, and nail the railing boards onto them.

We clean up the trash. If necessary, we do small porch made of bricks or boards.

The hexagonal gazebo for the dacha, where you can spend time pleasantly and carefree, is ready!

Photos of gazebos for an example of construction

If you have decided to make an open gazebo with a swing and a fireplace, then we have such an option."

Country gazebos should be as comfortable as possible and at the same time as simple as possible to construct.

IMPORTANT! The most common and easiest to process material for construction country houses, is a tree. This material is considered one of the most affordable and suitable for constructing a gazebo in the country. If you do the bulk of the work yourself, then building a gazebo will not cost much, because you only have to pay for the materials.

Construction of a gazebo is not possible without creating a project and drawing of the future building. Projects and drawings can be viewed on the Internet, or you can order them from specialists. When preparing a project, you need to think about the location of the gazebo in a specific area, take into account the direction of the wind and calculate which side it will be on. sunny side. All dimensions must be indicated in the drawing. The dimensions of the gazebo depend on the number of vacationers and the size of the summer cottage itself.

How to make a gazebo out of wood? Building a gazebo with certain skills will not be difficult; the main thing is to have a well-designed project and act according to the drawing.

The work order is as follows:

1. marking the construction site;
2. installing a foundation; for a wooden gazebo, a base made of timber is suitable;
3. the floor in the gazebo can be made of wooden slats that need to be attached to timber beams;
4. installation of walls. Depending on the drawing, the walls can be solid or lattice;
5. installation of a roof that is attached to the base;
6. choice of roofing material, for example, metal tiles, roofing felt;
7. treating the wood surface with special protective agents.

If you want to save time or cash, pay attention to the awning for the cottage. An awning, compared to a full-fledged gazebo, is cheap and does not require construction work. To build an awning, it will be enough to make a frame from materials that are available and cover it with thick fabric or tarpaulin. This design will protect you from the sun in summer. You can buy a ready-made gazebo-awning in a store.

A prefabricated gazebo will also save you from having to deal construction work. The prefabricated gazebo is portable design, which can be disassembled at any time for storage or installed in another place. The degree of openness of the gazebo can be adjusted using an awning.

Such gazebos can be made of wood, plastic or metal. Wooden gazebos look very attractive; they give the impression of a light and openwork structure. The cost of prefabricated gazebos is much lower than wooden permanent structures.

Metal gazebos have an impressive service life, but are also much more expensive wooden buildings. Metal gazebo can be additionally equipped with a barbecue.

The photo shows a metal gazebo

You can buy a prefabricated wooden gazebo for a price of 20,000 rubles,

a model of a finished wooden gazebo will cost 40,000 rubles.

$ The price of a metal prefabricated gazebo is from 65,000 rubles.

DIY summerhouses

You can not only buy a gazebo ready-made in a store, but also build it yourself. How to build a gazebo? First you need to prepare the materials that will be needed for construction. In addition to traditional wood and metal, gazebos began to be built from scrap materials. These could be old windows, unnecessary tires, construction defects, or leftover materials from previous construction. Since summer residents most often have boards and other wood left over, we will make a gazebo out of wood.

1. It is necessary to mark the construction site.
2. We install the gazebo frame from boards. There are several boards at each summer cottage.
3. We select a light roof for the gazebo. The simplest material at hand is oilcloth, you can also use any thick fabric or a piece of tarpaulin. The oilcloth must be nailed to wooden frame at the same distance.
4. You can decorate the gazebo using plastic products.

Homemade gazebos are original and comfortable. Making such a gazebo with your own hands is not difficult, even without the necessary experience.

Installation of a frame gazebo

Frame gazebos are very easy to install. First you need to choose the material for the frame. The frame can be made of almost any material, it can be metal, plastic or wood. The frame will perform a load-bearing function, and the walls will serve as a fence.

1. Installation columnar foundation. The size and type of base depends on the massiveness of the future gazebo. For wooden gazebos, a columnar foundation is most often used.
2. Making the bottom trim. The lower trim is assembled directly on the foundation.
3. Installation of frame racks.
4. Performing braces for all gazebo posts. The bevels will provide the frame with rigidity, strength and stability.
5. Performance top harness. After the top trim, it is imperative to strengthen the building with construction brackets.

During the summer season, a prefabricated gazebo will help out. You can install a prefabricated gazebo with your own hands almost anywhere. If you want to hide from the sun, then install a gazebo under the treetops. If desired, the gazebo can be installed closer to the house. Collapsible gazebos are cheaper than capital ones and do not require construction costs. A small prefabricated gazebo is a real salvation from the summer heat.

The photo shows a collapsible gazebo

Inexpensive gazebos for summer cottages

Ready-made gazebos, as a rule, cost a lot. Inexpensive gazebos are most often made open or semi open type made of wood. Open gazebos do not require a massive foundation, due to their light weight and design features, they also require less material. Open gazebos are no worse than closed gazebo houses. For example, original open-type gazebos are made from tree trunks.

Economy class gazebos, as a rule, are compact buildings made of wood. The size of gazebos is most often 4x2.5 meters, 4x4. These are simple, practical buildings without any unnecessary elements.

The frame of the gazebos can be stationary or collapsible. Collapsible gazebos have a design that can be disassembled if necessary. Collapsible gazebos are cheap and multifunctional, but their service life is shorter than that of stationary gazebos.

Build simple and cheap gazebos yourself. To save money, you can build a gazebo from branches, tree trunks, and boards. Making such a gazebo does not require professional tools.

The video shows how to install a beautiful and practical gazebo:

You can buy an economy class gazebo at a price of 4,371 rubles per sq. m.

Gazebo for a summer residence – necessary element for organizing a recreation area. As you have seen for yourself, construction is not always beautiful gazebo will be expensive. You can always build a gazebo on your own, using available materials; such savings will not make the construction any worse.

Today it is becoming increasingly popular to buy summer cottages, but even more fashionable is to equip them yourself. For example, a do-it-yourself gazebo is not just cozy and beautiful, but also proof to yourself that you can do anything if you want. So where to start?

Stages of building a garden gazebo

First of all, we carefully clean the selected area where we plan to build a gazebo with our own hands, from various debris, unnecessary building materials and all sorts of rubbish.

If there are any stumps or snags, it is better to get rid of them immediately, since this will be much more difficult to do later.

Then we determine what size we want to build our gazebo. Let's say total The number of people the building can accommodate is 15-16 people. We make our own drawings or take ready-made ones. Below in the article you will find drawings of a garden gazebo, but they are suitable for a different type of gazebo, not the same as in the photographs in the article. We outline the places where our foundation will be poured, then we should dig a hole of a suitable size and arrange the formwork.

Do-it-yourself gazebos for a summer residence do not require the same amount of work as, for example, the construction of a country house or other premises, but some procedures in all construction processes still similar.

Despite the fact that a gazebo is a room that is as open as possible, the structure must be strong enough to protect those in it from rain and wind.

The next stage is the installation of load-bearing vertical structures, then floor beams. Vertical structures They are connected with special logs and the whole thing is covered with ordinary floorboards.

Wooden structures are coated with primer deep penetration and finally painted in any color you like. As a rule, most people who make summer gazebos with their own hands prefer pleasant, unobtrusive shades of pastel colors, close to beige and brown.

In combination with green foliage it looks very harmonious. It is worth remembering and taking into account the fact that whatever the weather conditions, every year the gazebo should be repainted so that it is minimally exposed to destruction.

It is best to make a roof for a gazebo with your own hands, as shown in the photo, flat and slightly recessed into the structure. In order to rainwater water falling on the roof did not accumulate there, but could drain, a homemade drainpipe was installed.

Next to the main gazebo, you can dig a small pit, if you can call it that, which can go down to 70 centimeters below ground level. A small amount of crushed stone is added to the sandy soil to form natural drainage for sufficient drainage Wastewater. Here you can equip a small special area for barbecuing (the only thing you need to do is make sure that there are no branches on top).

If you decide to build a wooden gazebo with your own hands, do not forget about the area for children - another small area on which you can install.

The final stage is the improvement of our gazebo: installation of barbecues, tables and other necessary accessories. You can put soft, bright pillows on the benches, and put massive candles in elegant candlesticks on the tables. Since the gazebo is predominantly an open structure, its virtual walls should be protected from prying eyes and created coziness. This can be done using light light tulle or special awnings.

It is noteworthy that modern wooden gazebos with your own hands - this is not just a sad little “hut” with cracked green paint, as we remember from childhood, but entire mini-entertainment centers, in which there is a place for cooking barbecue, and for quiet, secluded conversations, and for entertaining the children.

Drawings of a garden gazebo

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the drawings of the garden gazebo:

The gazebo is an integral part of many country and summer cottages, because it is perfect for a comfortable pastime in nature. She is included in the majority landscape projects, and today consumers are presented with a huge selection of forms and models of this structure. However, most original designs are obtained with independent work. How to build a gazebo with your own hands, without spending a lot of time and effort, we will talk in this article.

Choosing a location and type of gazebo

Before starting construction, it is necessary to study the landscape of the site and highlight the most appropriate place for the future building. It is better to choose a quiet and cool place, perhaps near a body of water.

Then you need to decide on the type and type of gazebo. Decide for yourself for what period you need the structure. If vacation on the site is planned exclusively for summer period, then in this case a temporary structure is suitable, subject to disassembly during cold weather. If outdoor recreation is expected throughout the year, then it is advisable to erect a high-quality structure that is not afraid of temperature changes.

The material for the future design can be:

• tree;
• reinforced concrete;
• brick and foam blocks;
• metal constructions.

Of course, for self-construction the best thing wood will do. This is an accessible and inexpensive material that does not require special skills.

Foundation

As with most structures, a gazebo requires a foundation. Since the structure is quite light, a strip or screw foundation is perfect for it. If the soil is difficult, then you will have to make a monolithic foundation.

Before starting work, you should carry out preliminary preparation plot for construction. All large debris and vegetation must be removed, including tall grass. The top soil layer is also removed to a depth of approximately 10 cm.

Strip foundations are more suitable for light, stable soils. Manufacturing strip foundation consists of digging a trench up to 1.5 meters deep along the perimeter of the future structure, installing formwork and pouring a concrete mixture reinforced with reinforcement.

Screw pile foundation make it easier. It is more suitable for clayey, mobile soils. In this case, it is enough to drill iron screw piles at the required points as supports. Of course, first you will need to carry out preliminary calculations.

The piles will subsequently serve as the basis for the future floor. They are tied with timber with a section of 50x100 mm.

Floor

It is recommended to make the floors in the gazebo from 100x30 mm edged boards, impregnated with a special solution that protects against moisture penetration. The final stage When installing the floor, the surface will be varnished. At the location of the fireplace or barbecue, the board must be protected with sheets of stainless steel or pave with stone. For ease of use of the gazebo, steps are installed to smooth out the difference in floor height relative to the ground.

Walls

After the foundation and floors are ready, they proceed to the construction of walls and partitions. If construction is carried out from wood and timber, then the wood must be treated with means of protection against moisture and fungal infections. This will significantly extend the life of the structure.

Stonework with a thickness of half a brick or a brick is made according to the usual scheme. The inside may need to be coated with paint to give it a more noble look. appearance. For this purpose, coatings designed for facade works. Alternatively, you can cover the walls with slats or timber.

Roof

One of the main stages of construction is the construction of the roof. For light structure more than anything a roof will do with two or four slopes, thanks to which all precipitation will roll down and not linger on the structure. This will allow the roof to last a little longer. Dirt will also not linger on it.

To make a gable roof, it is necessary to erect 4 rafters from each side of the building, which will be connected by a beam at the highest point. They are additionally attached to each other and to the strapping beam with slats.

When hipped roof rafters are installed at the four corners, additional beams are attached in the middle of each side.

Sheets of plywood are laid on the rafters, then laid out on them bitumen shingles. The ridge is decorated with a corner of tin or parts of tiles. Drainage drains are installed along the contour of the roof, through which melt and rainwater will flow freely.

Frames different types roofs for gazebos are shown in the photo below:

Additional work

After the gazebo has acquired its final form, they move on to interior decoration and filling it with pieces of furniture.

Note! If a light source is needed in the gazebo, then it is laid from the house open wiring using corrugation and ceramic fasteners.

A self-made gazebo will delight the whole family and friends for many years, making outdoor recreation convenient and comfortable.
