INSTRUCTIONS AND PROPHECIES OF THE Blessed MOTHER ALIPIA GOLOSEEVSKY, Kyiv...
Metal gazebos are beautiful and inexpensive designs suitable for installation in private households or city parks and squares. The iron frame goes well with a variety of finishing materials, and in this respect it is universal.
Metal gazebos for the yard
The construction of such buildings is possible on any type of soil and does not require special skills and knowledge. A collapsible metal structure can be assembled or disassembled or moved to another place at any time, which distinguishes it from wooden counterparts.
Thematic material:
Frame from steel pipes goes well with upholstery various materials that allows you to realize the bold design ideas. Metal gazebos look modern and stylish, whether it is a classic forged design or a profile building. At the same time, such a structure is reliable and, due to the strength properties of the metal, will last for decades.
Frame components
The elements of the base for the gazebo, as a rule, are assembled from pipes with different types sections:
- square;
- round;
- rectangular;
- triangular.
Options for frames using a profile or corners are possible. The elements are connected to each other by welding, and bolts or pins are used in places of movable joints.
Arbor configurations
Garden and park structures for recreation, as a rule, have four or, but there are also. The more corners in the frame, the harder process assembly, but such designs look more original.
Polycarbonate is suitable for a rounded shape, which bends easily and allows you to create arched and spherical structures.
To create an enclosed space, the walls are sheathed completely - such buildings are protected from negative impact weather events. In turn, open gazebos allow you to enjoy unity with nature and fresh air.
Phased construction
To make a gazebo, you need to compose detailed plan, which can be used to calculate the number necessary materials. The drawing indicates the type of construction, exact dimensions, as well as information about the frame and skin.
When drawing up a drawing, please note that there are standard requirements for gazebos and their dimensions. The height of the structure should not be less than 2.3 m, and each vacationer should have at least 4 square meters. m of building area.
In this case, the drawing can be drawn up independently or you can choose a ready-made one - both options are acceptable. The main thing is the observance of proportions and sizes. The plan contains a view of the building from above and a frontal diagram of the building.
You can use computer programs and create a 3D model of the gazebo, which will reflect every detail of the future structure. This is especially true if the building has a complex structure. After drawing up the project, the assembly of the frame begins.
floor construction
Before pouring the foundation with concrete, the area is marked using the Egyptian triangle method (or any other). Then, in the planned place, a layer of earth of 15-20 cm is removed. Sand 5 cm thick is poured into the resulting shallow pit, which is compacted with water.
After that, temporary wooden structures acting as formwork. Further, to strengthen the future foundation, a mesh of reinforcement is laid. It will not work to weld the mesh elements; experts recommend using only wire fastening. This will eliminate the problem of rust at the joints.
At the final stage, the pit with the grid is poured concrete mortar, and the surface of the resulting site is leveled. Alternatively, classic paving stones are used to create a solid, even floor in the gazebo, but this increases the cost of work.
Mounting the frame frame
To install support pillars, pits up to a meter deep are dug along the edges of the site. Profiled pipes are installed in them and poured at the base with concrete. Sometimes support poles are simply driven into the ground, which is no less effective, but requires certain skills and physical strength.
After installation, veins are welded to the pillars in two rows. In this case, one row is placed 2 cm from the floor, and the second - 90-150 cm from the first. The transverse sections of the frame pipes are mounted around the entire perimeter of the gazebo, except for the area where the door or gate will be installed.
Roof arrangement
Next, proceed to the installation of the upper trim, which serves as the basis for the roof. The easiest way to make a gable roof. To do this, first, pipe sections are connected in pairs on the ground and leveled, and only then the prepared structure is lifted up.
The next step is to weld the roof frame to the pillars. To get a collapsible structure, the supports and the roof frame are not welded, but fixed together. In this case, the racks are not installed in the ground, but are mounted on prepared fixtures in the floor or foundation.
Collapsible gazebos are more difficult to make, but they are more convenient.
A mandatory step is the installation of a run from profile pipes. It serves as a reinforcement metal frame roofs of the future gazebo.
When the installation of the base is completed, the surfaces are primed and painted to protect against negative impact precipitation and corrosion.
Fastening of finishing materials
Once paintwork dry, proceed to the sheathing of the frame of the pipes. It is possible to create forged gazebos in which decorative elements are bolted to the frame frame or by welding. This option is attractive in appearance, but impractical: such a gazebo does not protect from wind, sun and rain, but only serves to decorate the yard or park. From a practical point of view, materials suitable for sheathing are wood, sheets metal profile or polycarbonate, popular today, which are easy to process.
The finishing material is cut according to the given dimensions and holes are made in it for subsequent fastening to the frame. If polycarbonate is used for sheathing, then the holes should be slightly wider than the bolts. During a sharp temperature drop, this will avoid the appearance of cracks, since the material tends to expand under certain conditions.
After installing the walls, they mount roofing, in the role of which professional sheets or polycarbonate are most often used. The transparent polymer is transparent Sun rays, making the gazebo bright, but at the same time protects from rain and snow.
Final steps
At the final stage, a door is installed, if it is provided for by the plan. It is important to correctly calculate each parameter at the drawing stage so that there are no problems during the installation of the structure.
Assembling a gazebo from a metal profile is a simple process that does not require special skills and tools.
In the hot sultry summer, when the house is unbearably hot, you really want to find a cozy place on fresh air. For these purposes, it is possible to build personal plot gazebo with their own hands made of metal. This design is both simple and elegant, while it will not close the picturesque landscape around the house and will become a harmonious addition to the overall architectural ensemble of the suburban area.
Next, proceed to the installation of a columnar foundation - the base of the gazebo. To do this, pits 50-70 cm deep are dug in the corners of the site, into which a layer of crushed stone (20 cm) is poured and supporting profile pipes are poured with concrete.
Preparing a site for a gazebo
Attention: the evenness of the installation of the pillars must be checked with a level.Formation of the metal frame
After installing the vertical metal racks, they begin to fasten the horizontal crossbars. For this you can use iron bars, or smaller pipes. Metal elements can be connected to each other by welding, or with the help of bolts and self-tapping screws. The transverse pipes for fencing the structure are installed at a height of 1-1.2 m. And the top of the support pillars is fastened with the help of the upper strapping.
Please note: piping should be welded to each vertical rack- this will ensure the reliability of the design.

Next, proceed to the installation of the frame under the roof. So that precipitation does not linger on it, the transverse logs are fixed at an angle (30-45 degrees). For a gable roof, several support triangles are made, which are connected by a common profile along the upper point, and their bases are connected to the main frame of the gazebo.

Advice: before installing the roofing, the metal frame should be primed and painted, since it will be problematic to do this after overlapping.Roof
One of the simplest and most economical roofing options for a gazebo is polycarbonate. Suitable for the roof of the gazebo cellular polycarbonate 8 mm thick. It is attached to special bolts with thermal washers. To do this, polycarbonate sheets are cut into required dimensions, and holes are drilled in the pipes for fastening. The ends of polycarbonate sheets can be closed with special strips - this will provide them with additional protection and give a neater look. As a result, we get a rather cozy and inexpensive gazebo, which remains only to be equipped with benches or other furniture for a good rest.
Attention: when laying roofing, install it with a slight overhang. This will protect all structural elements from atmospheric influences.
Do-it-yourself gazebo made of metal profiles
Metal gazebos in the country are a sign of the good taste of the owners of the site. They will be a harmonious addition landscape design, a reliable and cozy place for outdoor recreation. These structures can be of different shapes and sizes. Metal goes well with other building materials, which allows you to implement even the most daring design ideas.

Assembling a gazebo from a metal profile is a simple process that does not require special skills and tools.
metal country gazebos quite difficult to make. Here you need both knowledge in plumbing and experience, and a special tool ( welding machine, Bulgarian, etc.). However, you can make a simple structure from profiled pipes with your own hands.
Such designs look very aesthetically pleasing. In addition, they fit perfectly into any exterior of the site.
Varieties of metal structures
There are many options for garden gazebos made of metal.
- Their design can be openwork and resemble an Asian tent or imitate a medieval European fortress..
- Lightweight open structures made of metal supports and roofs can be mounted without a foundation. More massive closed counterparts with walls will suit any kind of foundation.
- The gazebo can serve as a place for both passive and active recreation.. In the latter case, for example, you can install a table tennis table in it. A metal gazebo can also serve as a summer kitchen. To do this, you can build a cooking oven, barbecue or barbecue in it.
- Summer gazebos made of metal have a durable steel frame . This makes it possible to equip the roof with any coating: polycarbonate, metal profile, ondulin, slate, metal and traditional tiles, etc.
- Such structures can be both permanent (stationary) and collapsible (temporary).
Note!
A mobile gazebo can be installed in the spring anywhere on the site, in the fall it can be disassembled and stored in a barn until the next season.
Such lightweight structures do not require pouring the foundation.
Features of the installation of the structure
The instruction says that optimal solution for collapsible arbors - this is to dig into the ground iron pipes, and insert the ends of the base of the structure into them.
Frame manufacturing
- Pipes should be coated with an anti-corrosion agent.
- When the arbor is removed in winter, the open top hole of the pipes should be clogged so that debris and water do not get into it.
- Stationary iron gazebos for summer cottages can be placed on a slab, strip or column foundation with its waterproofing.
- Pipes for frame racks in without fail check for verticality.
- If you make a preliminary drawing of the gazebo, it will not be difficult for you to determine how much building materials will be necessary for its construction.
- It is most advisable to make a gazebo frame from profiled pipes having a rectangular or square section. They must be at least 2 mm thick. Structures from them look much neater than analogues from a channel or round pipes.
- Metal corners are useful for construction partitions.
- Bearing frame supports should be inserted into the dug-in pipes, and then welded to them.
- Next, the frame of the gazebo should be checked for its verticality.
- On the upper edge of the support must be fixed with horizontal pipes.
- If the garden gazebo is a fairly large structure, install additional supports and cross members.
Assembly of the resting place
- Mounting the gazebo frame can be done in two ways: using bolts or welding elements. The second method is more preferable. However, if there is no electricity on the site, in this case you should rent a diesel generator to give. (See also the article.)
- The next stage of work - the arrangement of the roof. good decision will be the installation of a two-tier version of the roof. A round roof will also look good.
- When choosing a roofing material for a metal gazebo, you will not be limited in your choice..
Note!
The only point - you should not get hung up on the metal.
In the warm season, it will heat up.
Therefore, even in the evening it will be too hot in the gazebo.
Arbor decoration
The final stage of construction is the decoration of the gazebo.
- Wrought-iron gazebos for summer cottages look great. In this case, the main structure is complemented by professional blacksmiths. decorative elements. They can be placed between the frame profiles, welded to the crossbars and uprights. Then rough metal structure will become graceful and lacy.
- You can also choose a fundamentally different way of decorating, the price of which will be low.. For example, with the help of living plants. Plant perennials around: hops, clematis, parthenocissus, ivy, etc. Having wrapped metal structural elements, they will not only decorate it, but will also protect you from the rays of the sun and winds.
Why paint metal
Arbors for summer cottages made of metal are reliable and durable. However, do not neglect their care.
In order to protect the building material from rust as much as possible, after completing the main work, be sure to paint the gazebo.
- The most durable powder polymer coloring. However, it is possible to process metal with its help only on special equipment in workshop conditions.
- On your own, you can first prime the steel elements, then cover them with weather-resistant nitro enamel.
- A great option is to use blacksmith's "hammer" paint. It can even be applied to rusty material.
Conclusion
Country houses from block containers or from traditional materials can always be supplemented with a convenient, practical and reliable gazebo made of metal. It will become your favorite vacation spot. suburban area. The video in this article will help you understand its topic.
A gazebo made of metal has a number of advantages - a small budget, easy assembly, and a well-made gazebo is nice to look at. In addition, with proper care of the metal, it will serve you for a very long time. Due to these advantages, gazebos made of metal structures are often found both in the country house and in their homes. The whole process can take no more than three days, not counting the development of the project.
Main advantages:
- The gazebo can be a metal team and portable without compromising the structure.
- If you don't have the most suitable soil for construction, this is not a problem - the design provides for this and does not create difficulties during installation on any soil.
- The choice of design depends only on the imagination of the builder and the owner, especially if they are in one person.
You can choose absolutely any kind, taking an example, looking garden gazebos from metal in the photo:
Before starting construction, you should consider some details:
- Building site
- The shape of the building and its dimensions
- Construction assembly method
- The choice of material for cladding
Consider everything in order of priority and what you need to build a gazebo from a metal profile with your own hands.
Types of materials used for assembly
The material used can be quite varied given the type of metal and plating. For the frame, the following profiles are most often used: round or square tubes, a metal profile or a corner.
It is better to work with unpainted metal in order to avoid harmful fumes during welding. Paintwork materials you can cover the gazebo upon completion of work.
There is a wide choice of material for the roof and walls. The most popular are polycarbonate, metal profile sheets or lining, if desired, there can be wood gratings or welded parapets. If this is too much for you or you need to reduce the budget, then you can do it without a fence, it will turn out no less beautiful.
The roof and walls of the gazebo are covered with polycarbonate If the budget allows, then you can order a forged fence. This solution will not make you disappointed and will look very nice. An example is in the photo below.
Beautiful forged gazebo Among other things, you can decorate the interior of the gazebo with weaving plants. They will look organic and do not require much care, you just need to make sure that the shoots do not grow where they should not.
Choice of design form
At this step, everything again rests on the designer's imagination, but there are also standard solutions. Most often, a metal gazebo is found in a quadrangular type, as they are easier to assemble, but multifaceted structures are no less popular, since they can easily fit a large number of people, and they look more aesthetically pleasing.
Glass gazebo made in the form of a dome In the photo above we see the original domed shape. The gazebo is made of metal and polycarbonate, as this material easily bends and takes the desired shape. But be careful and don't overdo it.
Construction types
There are only two types: open and closed. But there are a lot of implementation options.
Choosing closed type usually sew up the walls of the gazebo from floor to ceiling. Of course, they protect from the whims of mother nature, but it is worth considering that sufficient ventilation will be needed in the hot weather.
Weather-covered gazebo The open structure is mainly convenient in summer time. With enough light and good review environment, you can fully feel the breath of nature. In addition, this option requires a smaller budget due to the lack of walls.
A budget option gazebos - open Also, metal gazebos for summer cottages or houses are divided into stationary and portable. Portable can be dismantled and out of season stored in a barn. The overall frame, of course, consists of parts welded together, but bolts are usually used to fasten some kind of modules together.
For a stationary gazebo, racks are made, buried in the ground and reinforced with a foundation. For this type you can or barbeque. In their dimensions, such gazebos are of course much larger than mobile ones.
On the example of the photo, you can see that both minimalism and a rich exterior are equally suitable for the design of a gazebo from a metal profile.
Simple metal gazebo, yet beautiful 
Graceful forged gazebo open type Drawing up and calculation of the project
Before you start, you need to eat and calculate all the details. Construction should not bring surprises. Therefore, pay attention to the features of the soil for the construction of the building and the barbecue in the gazebo, the footage of the necessary pipes or profile for the skeleton, the type of sheathing, decorations and plants, the presence of additional structures.
And of course, it is worth making a mini estimate and choosing those materials that fit into the existing budget. After that, draw up drawings and try to sketch the building. If there is no time to draw up drawings, then they can be found on the Internet, where there are hundreds of them. Here is an example:
If you are building a gazebo for yourself, this may not seem necessary. But if you are doing for a client, then schemes, layouts and plans can be supplemented with a 3D model.
Dimensions are compiled depending on the presence of people living on the site. It is worth considering that it is convenient to be inside for people of different builds. Referring to the norms of SNiP, it is recommended to build a gazebo for giving no less than 3 by 3 meters.
An example of a scheme for building a gazebo Gazebo assembly features
Having drawn up the project, let's move on to practice. We divide the whole process into several stages
- Site preparation: land works, pouring concrete
- Frame assembly: welding work, installation, painting works
- Facing. Depends on the type of pergola: full package including windows and doors or only parapet and roof sheathing
Choice of materials and tools
Consider the list of materials for a regular gazebo:
- profile pipe. At what the sizes vary from the size of the gazebo itself
- Sheathing material. The cheapest way is to use polycarbonate, but if you wish, you can use another one you like.
- Paints and varnishes. It is advisable to choose a specialized paint for metal
- Materials for concrete mixing: cement, sand and gravel
- If you decide to pour a floor screed, then you will need reinforcement with a cross section of 12 mm.
Since you still have to weld metal, you will need a welding machine. If the design has curved parts, then you will still need a pipe bender. Of the usual tools, a hammer, a saw and / or a hacksaw, paint brushes, a grinder, a corner and a tape measure will come in handy.
Foundation pouring and screeds
In order for the gazebo from the metal profile to be convenient to use, you need to make a high-quality floor and follow these steps:
- The boundaries of the site for the foundation are indicated
- Approximately 20 centimeters of earth are removed in an even layer
- A five-centimeter layer of sand and granulation is compacted with water
- Installation of formwork 15 - 20 centimeters above the ground.
- The distribution of reinforcement along the pit in the form of a lattice (as in the photo). Remember that for the durability of the mesh, you need to tighten the bars with wire, and not weld.
- All this is poured with concrete so that there is at least 15 centimeters of concrete above the grid. The screed should be even under the level - this is the future floor.
- Having removed the formwork, holes are dug along the edges of the screed to a depth of up to a meter and in an amount equal to how many support posts will be.
- Pillars of the selected metal are placed under the level in the center of the pits.
Assembly of roof trusses and their installation
Even if the room is planned to be small gable roof help simplify future maintenance. Farms are best welded on the ground after calculating their size. After assembling the modules, they are alternately installed on the roof. If possible, work with a partner to check for correct assembly while you weld. Completely all elements of the roof are interconnected by welding. If you have a gazebo with a barbecue, try to make sure that the barbecue hood does not spoil the aesthetics of the roof and the quality of its assembly. When cutting roofing material it is also important to take this into account.
Do-it-yourself metal gazebo sheathing
After the frame is fully assembled, it needs to be primed and painted. When the paint dries, you can proceed to the final stage - cladding or fixing polycarbonate with your own hands. Having decided to work with polycarbonate, you need to drill holes for fastening in advance. Having marked and cut the skin into the necessary pieces, holes for mounting are drilled. To do this, you also need to calculate the location of the holes. In the end, everything is held together with bolts. Remember that when installing polycarbonate, it is important to leave a thermal gap so that when the material expands when it is hot outside, it does not burst from overtightening. Hexagonal gazebos made of metal have a roof of triangles according to the number of corners. Their installation differs from the usual one, only in the form of polycarbonate. A metal gazebo, although more complicated in this form, is much more beautiful for that. Patterns can be placed on the roof and parapet, which will add aesthetics and mood to the overall building.
Conclusion
This is the whole "secret" of how to build a gazebo with your own hands from metal and polycarbonate from the base to the end.
Do not forget to follow the safety rules during construction, taking care of your life and the lives of other people, use goggles, masks, gloves and other protective equipment.
