Construction options

The most practical citizens prefer metal structures. The material impresses with its plasticity and rich gloss. It is 3 times lighter than concrete structures, so easy installation is guaranteed even for inexperienced specialists.

Round gazebos made of beams are the best option for winter. It is always warm and cozy in such buildings. And if the building materials are impregnated with antiseptics even at the stage of laying the foundation, they will last at least 20 years. Supporters of stylish design will certainly like the options from natural stone.

Brick rotundas attract with the quality of their finishes. They lend themselves well to repair and do not require constant maintenance. It happens that personal comfort is more important than decor. Then it is wiser to develop a project of a building with a barbecue with your own hands. And since a round base is taken as a basis, it is possible to install both a copper bowl and a barbecue oven in the center of the gazebo.

Each of these buildings contributes to:

Implementation of bold design solutions.
A peculiar arrangement of furniture. At the same time, it is better to replace hanging cabinets with functional chests of drawers, instead of a kitchen set, buy an organizer for dishes.
Panoramic glazing, thanks to which the premises are saturated with natural light.
Organization of business meetings at a large round table. Since this figure means perfection, it is logical to hope for a successful outcome of the case.

DIY construction

In order to avoid technical errors, it is better to make a drawing. For this purpose, you can use special computer programs or arm yourself with a sheet of paper and fantasy. In any case, the image should detail the dimensions of the support posts and auxiliary structures. A foundation diagram showing the exact distance between the beams is drawn separately.

A round gazebo can be located in the center of the yard, on the banks of a pond or an artificial reservoir. On the west side, it is better to plant a juniper, and on the south - a wild rose and climbing grapes. Considering that fully glazed arbors guarantee good visibility of objects anywhere in the room, lush perennials will look good from anywhere.

Before the main work, it is important:

clear the area from plant roots and debris;
think over the size of the structures and the style of the building - ready-made works of designers will help in this, which can really be remade for yourself;
make a marking of the territory, taking into account the data of the radius and diameter of the circle of the future building.

Foundation

A columnar base is the best option for such a structure. Its depth depends on the features of the structure itself and the geological characteristics of the soil. In areas with noticeable differences in height, it is better to lay a buried foundation. This way you will be able to avoid cracks and distortions in the future.

Of the materials, concrete, sand, crushed stone and blocks of standard sizes are useful. If you take a brick as a basis, in no case should you use products with low frost resistance.Before the main work, it is important to prepare the drainage layer and the area for the supports. Then you need to tamp the sand pad and install the concrete blocks. It is better to seal the seams with cement mortar, and plaster the outer part of the building material. For waterproofing the foundation, you will need bitumen mastic or roofing material.

Parts of beech or larch treated with antiseptics can be used as supports. For greater strength of the base, they should be immersed in a 20 cm layer of concrete.

Frame for walls and roof

The side walls of the structure are attached to vertical supports. In order for the gazebo to serve at least 30 years, it is better to make them from oak beams with a section of 100x100 mm. The optimum workpiece length is 2000 mm. And only one of the supporting elements should be slightly more than 2800 mm. The smooth surface of the products contributes to the high-quality assembly of the frame. Therefore, instead of ordinary sandpaper, it is better to use a sanding technique. This is the best advice for fast wood processing.

In the lower part of the supports, holes must be made with a depth of 90–110 mm to fix the rods. Fasteners will require steel corners and galvanized self-tapping screws. At the next stage, it is important to align the pillars, and, if necessary, support them with temporary lumber braces. At the end of the work, the upper strapping should be fixed from a 90x120 mm board.

Sheathing

It is better to fill the openings between the supports with natural stone or hyper-pressed bricks. In structures with barbecue, one of the walls must be capital. If solid surfaces are not part of your plans, install welded railings. Subsequently, they can be sheathed with flexible polycarbonate. The main advantages of this material are good light transmission and light weight.

Due to the susceptibility to thermal deformation, buyers are often offered other options:

vinyl siding with its inherent resistance to aggressive environments, frequent temperature extremes, moisture and frost;
rack structures with different mounting options, they retain heat well and absorb sounds from the street;
shockproof block house;
lining made of coniferous wood, which are better amenable to grinding and cutting with special equipment.

Floor

In open-type gazebos, it is more profitable to lay paving slabs, tiles or porcelain stoneware. Unlike wooden coatings, they do not deteriorate under the influence of moisture and temperature extremes. In fully glazed buildings, you can use natural solid wood, hemp and linoleum. In brick rotundas, a concrete floor looks better, which means that you will need a screed on the ground. Before that, it is important:

install the formwork around the perimeter of the future building;
prepare a sand cushion and a layer of waterproofing;
place reinforcement on top of the film;
mix the cement-sand mortar;
pour concrete, and as it dries, spray the surface with water from time to time;
fix the supports.

How to install a brazier

Structures with a chimney and copper bowls for cooking directly in the center of a round structure are held in high esteem by most summer residents. In such gazebos, you can simultaneously prepare for exams, solve crosswords and grill a barbecue over an open fire.

The optimum distance between the brazier and the sofa is 2 m. Lower numbers increase the likelihood of accidents.

In the choice of functional devices, it is more advantageous to give preference to designs with a blower. They contribute to fast, and most importantly, safe food preparation in just half an hour.
