Construction of a garden
arbor is not a very difficult task. With a little practice, time and good
intentions, we can do it ourselves. What is worth remembering when joining a
garden arbor?
The right structure of a
gazebo
The design of a garden
arbor is usually light - it consists of pillars supporting the roof, between
which there may be openwork walls usually reaching slightly above the meter. A
gazebo can stand on the ground or have its own floor made of planks - it all
depends on the imagination of its constructor.
For the construction of
a garden arbor most often used wood, e. g. pine. Before the construction of
arbors, every wooden element should be properly protected against weather and
biological factors.
To set up a light wooden
gazebo it is enough to pour concrete foundation ceilings. Metal brackets or
anchors are fastened in them, in which they are embedded and then attached to
them wooden logs supporting the roofing. It is worth using galvanized metal
elements or connectors made of stainless steel to join wooden construction
elements of walls or gazebos. The roof structure of the gazebo largely depends
on its shape. When the gazebo has a rectangular shape, it's good if its roof is
hipped. In the case of a hexagonal arbor, a hex roof will be better. As roof
covering garden arbor you can use straw or reeds, less effective will be
equally light tar paper and bituminous shingles.
A place for a garden
arbor
When choosing a place
for a garden gazebo, consider its purpose and the size of the plot. If it is
intended to calm down among greenery, it is worth locating it in the depths of
the plot, away from the bustle of household members or the street. So located
will encourage us to go out into the bosom of nature. If we do not have too
much space available, and the gazebo is to serve, among others to experience family meals in the
fresh air, it is better to locate her closer to home, so that you do not have
to run to it with crockery. When deciding to build a gazebo near the house, it
is worth remembering that the appearance and style would fit well not only with
the garden, but also with the building.
