Summerhouses

The gazebo has long become one of the most favorite and popular decorations of the suburban area. Curved ivy or simply surrounded by flowers, openwork transparent or reliably protected from the wind, it invariably pleases the eye. Has a gazebo, at the same time, and an undoubted practical value: where, if not in this small house, you can so comfortably retire from the book or, conversely, settle in a circle of a fun company?

When planning a house-gazebo on a summer residence, do not forget about the surrounding panorama. On the one hand, the summer house should look organically among the already existing elements of the landscape; on the other - I would like to see a nice view from the arbor itself. It is necessary to take into account the openness of this house to an outsider's eye: for a gazebo located in the depth of the site, the fence is not so important, but the same can not be said with its proximity to the road or the neighbor's dacha.

Arbor in the country

If you decide to build an arbor in a summer house with your own resources, the following solutions will be the best solutions for building a house. The best option for your building will be a columnar foundation, since the choice in its favor eliminates the need for complex engineering work and leveling the surface of the earth. Wooden beams are recommended for the construction of the frame as the most natural and easy to process material.

While working on designing the walls of the summer house, remember that in general they should be open and easily visible. However, the option with solid walls is also possible, especially if you intend to cook a BBQ inside a gazebo. The construction of the roof also depends largely on your plans and preferences. The roofs of the arbors can be found as folded from classical bituminous shingles, as well as covered with straw or tree branches.
