Arbor in wood with own hands

Even in the presence of a beautiful summer cottage , a garden and flowerbeds, the country plot will look a little unfinished if it does not have a cozy little gazebo. This small structure harmoniously beautifies the landscape and is an ideal place for summer holidays, where you can celebrate with any family any celebration or retire for meditation. It turns out that it is quite easy to install a gazebo, for this purpose it does not require a lot of building materials or bringing highly skilled masters to the aid of the brigade.

How to build a gazebo with your own hands made of wood?

  1. Choosing a good place for construction, we lay a columnar foundation according to the drawing. The pillars themselves can be poured entirely from concrete, making small rectangular or round reinforced concrete piles. Such a design will be completely reliable. Tape foundation is suitable for larger buildings and its arrangement is somewhat more expensive.
  2. For the construction of walls and floor used workpieces made of wood, in the form of rectangular frames.
  3. We expose them vertically, fix them with the help of supports, and connect the bottom of the beam with each other.
  4. We install the floor lags by screwing them to the frame with screws.
  5. We connect in the middle and at the top all parts of the construction with a bar. Gradually, the outlines of a simple gazebo made of wood in the form of a cube, collected by their own hands.
  6. In the future location of the doorway we fasten the bars.
  7. We begin to make a roof. We will have a conical shape, so we need to establish a vertical element in the center, to which the other bars meet like rays.
  8. The main roof frame is ready.
  9. Sew the roof boards or plywood.
  10. Summer arbors made of wood, built on the dacha with their own hands, should be beautiful and resistant to rain. The roof should be covered with galvanized iron, ondulin, flexible tiles or other high-quality modern roofing material.
  11. It turned out a nice and light roof made of soft tiles.
  12. To protect from wind and rainstorms up to half from the bottom, the walls of the arbor are covered with boards.
  13. Attached to the construction of the stairs.
  14. We try to make an arbor with our own hands from a comfortable tree even in the cold period, so we make glazing of the room.
  15. At the very end we set the doors. The construction of the gazebo is over.
