Many summer residents want to have an arbor on their site. Someone decides to erect a wooden structure, which will be covered with grapes. And some owners prefer to build an all-season arbor on the site. In it you can relax after a week of work, and guests to treat shish kebab in a beautiful gazebo made of bricks will not be ashamed. And you can arrange a meeting of the New Year here.
Advantages of summer cottages made of bricks
Arbor of brick is a very popular building for a summer residence. Such a brick structure is reliable and durable. Care of the gazebo is minimal. In addition, the building of brick is not afraid of fire and therefore its use is safe.
However, the construction of a gazebo made of bricks is quite a costly affair. And more time will be spent on this than building a wooden structure. Since the gazebo of brick is a rather massive structure, it requires a solid foundation. The optimal option for the construction of a summer cottage can be a combination of different materials: brick, wood , metal .
Types of garden arbors made of bricks
Before starting construction, you need to decide which type of arbor you would like to see on your site. Brick arbors are of several types:
- Open , which consist of pillars and the roof that lies on them. In a summer gazebo made of bricks you can rest only in the warm season;
- semi-open , having one or even two blind walls, in which there is a fireplace or barbecue, also made of bricks;
- closed , looking like a summer kitchen. In the gazebo, window openings are glazed and there is an entrance door. You can relax in such a gazebo even in winter. In a spacious gazebo you can arrange a whole furnace complex, equip a few rest areas with sofas, and maybe even a dance pavilion to organize.
When choosing the type of arbor, one should remember that it should harmoniously blend with the rest of the landscape of your garden plot. Having some skills in construction, you can build a brick pavilion with your own hands. To begin with, it is necessary to draw up a work plan, select and prepare a site for construction. It's good if the gazebo is near the house. However, pay attention to the direction of the wind in this area: smoke from the fire should not enter your or your neighbor's house.
After filling the foundation, a brick brazier and a plinth are mounted. Then, walls and arched ceilings, if any, are erected. After this, the roof of the gazebo is mounted and the floor is laid. In the brazier or fireplace area it is better to use floor tiles.
If you decide to build a semi-enclosed or enclosed gazebo, take care in advance of its coverage, because the natural light here will clearly not be enough. To create a lighter arbor, you can arrange a so-called light lantern, that is, part of the roof to glaze.
