A brick gazebo is a dream for many summer residents and villagers. It is distinguished by its durability, massiveness and elite. As well as the high price for both material and work.
Nevertheless, this format is quite common among residents of suburban homes, which means that many will be interested to see what kind of arbors made of bricks are available and how the market may surprise us.
This publication will contain photographs of various brick arbors that can serve as a prototype of your construction idea.
If you are thinking about organizing such a structure on your own site or want to make some kind of decorative addition to an already built structure, then the photos below can help you with this.
Simple, budget, country
The first group of photographs will be simpler arbors, which do not differ in any architectural refinement, but very well fulfill their main function - create coziness for vacationers.
The price of such buildings may vary depending on the size and availability of the furnace, but in general, the options presented belong to the economy class.
Such a construction option is quite appropriate, especially for a small area and a limited financial budget.
As for me - this format looks very advantageous both in a summer cottage, as well as in a cottage and village plots. Several times I had a chance to relax in such arbors at different times of the year and was always satisfied.
Still, brick walls do their job, as it is quite difficult to damage, ruin or stain them - people feel comfortable without being afraid to make unnecessary movement.
Beautiful, interesting, big
Next in gradation are more expensive and impressive buildings. They do not belong to the too "major" type, but they are already much more expensive and the owners are not always ready to give such money for them.
Most gazebos are equipped with a barbecue complex, barbecue, oven, which brings additional entertainment to the relaxation process - cooking and frying meat.
Among these arbors there are elements of landscape design, and in particular, landscaping with climbing plants.
Decorating with flowers and vines emphasizes the status of the building, and also adds to it a certain “charm” and feminine comfort, since the flowers are still more a female plant, not a male one.
Elite, expensive, unique
A special thrill is caused by buildings that combine all the elements of expensive construction: high-quality material (wild stone and decorative plaster), landscape and interior design, decorative elements and more.
Creating such architectural masterpieces, many builders are guided by a certain style or design of one or another direction in art. Many elements are admirable.
When it comes to such facilities, they usually don’t talk about money. Nobody knows how much it costs, but everyone understands that a lot.
The inaccessibility of such buildings is very attractive, but it is not at all necessary to “swell” millions into the construction of a gazebo when a nearby summer cottage is not worth even 500 thousand rubles?
It is enough to take the general concept, replace expensive material with cheaper one, reduce the size and budget can already be reduced by several times. And if you add work on your own, instead of masters, then everything becomes even more attractive.
With barbecue, barbecue, stove
Brick, like any other gazebo, is rarely designed without barbecue or barbecue. Thanks to the installed barbecue, guests can cook fresh fried meat for guests, and simply entice someone to cook it - there are always lively conversations with the barbecue near the barbecue. Therefore, I would like to highlight a selection of photos of brick arbors with barbecue.
Closed
Similar options have also been considered in large numbers in our article. And indeed, enclosed gazebos are not so rare for modern construction.
There are many options for glazing, which will allow quite budget (or expensive and with convenience) to close window openings and achieve a certain tightness of the room.
I suggest looking at several options for how you can turn an ordinary brick building into a full-fledged enclosed space. See more photos in the full article; not only brick buildings are presented there.
What are
Building material is selected based on the appearance of the remaining buildings on the site. The same determines the choice of roofing material. And the shape and structure can be anything.
Most often, stone and brick arbors are made in a rectangular shape: they are usually placed on the border of the site, so that they are located along. Very well, square or rectangular designs become in the corner. To make the atmosphere more chamber, both sides, which will be facing the neighboring areas, are made solid.
Stone arbor - two sides open, two - closed
Purely stone arbors, and even closed ones are rare. This is a summer kitchen, not a gazebo. If necessary, insect fencing is made of mosquito nets, for a more comfortable environment they can hang translucent curtains, which will be closed from insects and from prying eyes. For winter holidays, sometimes glazing is installed. It turns out already a separate kitchen, if there is a barbecue or barbecue in the gazebo. Glazing is done normally: wooden frames or double-glazed windows, less often they put polycarbonate, but it is also quite suitable, and also has lower thermal conductivity compared to single glazing.
Often combined with wood. Both brick and stone look good with them. They also make openwork railings from metal, a combination with polycarbonate is less common.

How to build with your own hands
We describe a step-by-step algorithm for building a gazebo made of brick or stone:
- The site is being prepared. The fertile layer is removed, the pit is leveled.
- Work is underway on the foundation. The type of foundation can be any, so there is no way to describe in detail.
- The waterproofing is laid on the finished foundation. Previously used roofing material in two layers. It is there now, but it’s better to take something from modern materials: a modern roofing material will simply crumble in three to four years. You can use bitumen mastic (grease twice). This will cut off most of the moisture that concrete will pull from the soil.
The first step is to expel the columns and cover them with a roof - Pillars are made of brick or stone. They can be driven out only at a certain distance from the floor, and can stretch to the rafter system itself. In 95% of cases, wood is then attached to such columns: continuation of columns or tying under the rafter system. And if you can also lay waterproofing on top of the column, then you can’t do this on short poles. They should not be lined up in a column: a brick is a very hygroscopic material. During rains, he will draw moisture, if not from the soil, then from the air. A tree will get wet from it, which in winter will lead to the fact that the wood simply breaks. To avoid this, a corner is built into the pillar, which should stick out of it. At the end of a bar or log, they make a cut of the corresponding form, and put the rack on the corner. Instead of a corner there can be three hairpins, you can also come up with some kind of metal holder, only one that will not spoil the appearance.
- After the columns are driven out to the required height, an upper strapping of the beam is made.
- The rafter system is going. Rafter legs are attached to the bar of the upper harness.
- On the rafters a crate is packed. In order not to hem the ceiling, it is made continuous regardless of the type of roofing material. Open beams hemmed with a edged board or clapboard - this is even a decoration.
Beam and continuous sheathing inside the gazebo look beautiful - A roof covering is mounted on the crate.
- If the gazebo is designed for barbecue or barbecue and it is supposed to be brick, it is built at this stage.
This brazier took more than one and a half thousand bricks - If provided for by the project, walls are installed and railings are erected.
In this project, the walls were laid out of foam concrete: it is lightweight and will not create a large overload on one side, then it was faced with torn stone - The floor is laid.
- Gutters are installed.
This is what turned out as a result of all efforts: the capital arbor turned out
The floor can be made immediately on the finished foundation. Depends on what material. If it is a tile or a wild stone that is laid on a plate, you can put it right after the columns and walls are driven out. If it is a wooden flooring, then it is better to lay it last, so as not to stain. And one more thing: under the roof it is already somehow protected from the rain.
Another clarification about wood: immediately after you bring it and go with a sander (if necessary), it must be treated with an antiseptic. Only in this case, during construction work, it will not darken. The exception is canned wood. It is factory treated with a similar composition in special chambers.
Whatever form the arbor is made of brick, brick columns or pillars are necessarily present. And they need to be able to spread. How to do it - see the video.
What else may be needed is how to put a brazier. Simple, without arches and other complex details, you can easily add up without even having extensive experience working with bricks. An example is in the video.
Ideas of gazebos in the photo gallery
While developing a gazebo made of bricks, an idea is needed that will serve as the basis for the project. The following are interesting options in our opinion.
Decorative metal grilles are fixed between the posts, the roof is raised above the columns, making the whole building look lighter
Interesting design of the side walls: non-linear design in combination with wooden grilles. Most likely the side walls of this gazebo are laid out of foam blocks: they are easier to handle
Powerful columns, between which a railing is laid in half a brick. If necessary, this summer gazebo can be easily converted into a winter one: put double-glazed windows or wooden frames
Hexagonal gazebo on pillars of stone
Oriental motifs in the design. And just an unusual form of columns
The ceramic brick gazebo is divided into two zones: the kitchen is separate, the dining room is separate ...

Features
The brick arbor is a capital stationary construction. Even if it consists of columns and a roof alone, it needs a lightweight (columnar) foundation. The brick structure is reliable, durable and thorough, it has only one drawback, its cost is slightly higher than that of wood. But if you consider all the positive features, then brick gazebo will be more advantageous in comparison with other materials:
- It has a beautiful, presentable appearance.
- Durable, can last several generations.
- Reliable. The closed type structure will protect from weather influences and from external penetrations.
- In such a room it is always cozy, warm and dry.
- The brick does not rot, does not rust, it does not corrode fungus and mold, which makes it possible to save on anti-corrosion and antifungal impregnations.
- It is easy to look after such an arbor, it does not require paintwork.
- Brick refers to fire-resistant materials, a gazebo built from it can be easily equipped with a stove and barbecue.
- The capital structure of the closed type may well replace the summer kitchen, if you bring the water supply and equip the stove with a hob. As heating, you can use heaters.
- Brick goes well with any building materials, with its participation they build beautiful combined structures.
Despite the great variety of arbors, they can be divided into three main types: closed, open and half-open. Buildings of this type also differ in size, shape, internal equipment, they are combined in combination with stone, wood or iron.
- Gazebos open type contain columns and a roof, can be complemented by wild stone or forging. They need a light foundation, since all brick buildings are capital. Living walls of climbing plants will help overcome summer heat. Open buildings are elegant and light, they are beautifully built into the landscape design. But they can also occupy a large territory, in the center of which they build a stove, install a brazier and equip a dining area.
- Gazebos closed type - massive buildings with strip foundations or concrete slabs, walls on all sides, windows and doors. In such facilities can be running water, electricity, even a bathroom. To bring all communications to the gazebo, it is necessary to build it near the house. Here you can arrange a stove, smokehouse, barbecue, barbecue, if you correctly execute the chimney and ventilation system. This room can be used throughout the year.
- The most popular are the compromise options for gazebos - half open. This structure has several walls and a roof. The walls can protect from heat, wind and slanting rain, but they are often used as a cooking area, setting a barbecue and barbecue.
Pavilions come in different sizes and configurations, clear geometric shapes and free shapes:
- Square constructions can be any of the listed types. If they are small, they are equipped with a table, chairs or benches, a stove is built next to the arbor, a barbecue is installed.
- Rectangular arbors of any type are able to place a dining area and a cooking zone on their territory.
- Round buildings are often equipped with benches along the walls and a table in the center of the room, sometimes in the center they arrange a grill.
- Multifaceted designs are completed by the type of round arbors.
- Free-form facilities are easy to zon, but their design is best left to the designer, any mistake in the sketch will give the building a strange look.
Projects
From a large number of options for gazebos, it is not so easy to choose the one that will suit your taste, size, budget and become quite functional. Before starting construction, when drawing up a project, it should be decided in many areas.
First you need to decide for what purpose the gazebo will be used. If you need it as a decoration of landscape design, you can choose a small open structure, elegant forms, combined with any building materials. Using a light foundation and small brickwork, you can build an inexpensive and quite beautiful structure.
The arbor for year-round use should be closed, have communications, lighting, it should be glazed and insulated.
An octagonal semi-open gazebo is suitable for a large company, it has impeccable shapes, benches can be placed near its walls, and in the center there is a table or a grill oven.
Even before drawing up the project, you need to choose the type of arbor, the foundation laying depends on this.
Then you need to select a suitable place for construction. If the structure is small, light, open, a picturesque corner in the garden is suitable for it, preferably on a hill. The gazebo should be combined with the general organization of the site.
For buildings of a closed or semi-open type, if communications are required, the territory near the house will be the best place, but not quite nearby, given fire safety standards.
There should not be trees with a branched rhizome on the construction site. Sometimes recreation areas are broken at wells or ponds. It should be remembered that a flat ground is needed for the construction.
As for design, you can’t build too big a gazebo in a small courtyard, visually it will make it even smaller, and a small structure in a large garden may not be noticed.
Having decided on the type of arbor and the place where to build it, you should think about the shape, size and design of the structure. It can be a closed building with windows and a door or an octagonal glazed structure with barbecue and barbecue. Arbors are equipped with furnaces, smokehouses, ovens and hobs, which are brought in from the outside or built with the room.
At the next stage, a drawing is made, accurate calculations of the dimensions of the building are made. The gazebo should be indicated on the general plan of the site.
A sketch of the internal layout of the building is also needed.
Building materials for the foundation, walls, roofing and cladding are selected. The type of foundation is determined. Estimated costs. Capital construction with communications may need to be agreed with the relevant organizations.
Having thought and calculated everything, you can start construction. The site is leveled, the topsoil is removed and markings are made.
Foundation
Different types of foundations are used for gazebos, it all depends on the massiveness of the structure. A light columnar base is sufficient for construction, while a heavier building requires a continuous, strip or slab foundation.
A small open gazebo holds a light roof on four brick pillars. For such a structure, a columnar foundation is suitable. Pillars are located in each corner of the building and deepen into the ground from 50 to 100 cm, depending on the state of the soil. For the base, pipes or a reinforcement frame filled with concrete are used.
To build a strip foundation, a trench is dug to the depth of freezing of the soil, a timber formwork is installed in it, reinforcement is placed and filled with concrete.
For a solid reinforced base, a foundation pit breaks out, a formwork is installed, filled with gravel and poured with cement.
If a slab foundation is laid, the floor device can be neglected. Solid, tape and slab bases are suitable for heavy enclosed and half-open arbors.
It is difficult to build on loose or swampy soils, on a surface with ravines and hills. In such cases, you can use the pile foundation, this will do without costly leveling the site.
The base should protrude above the ground by at least 20 cm, in which case the cladding material will be preserved from damage upon contact with the soil.
The flooded foundation should dry for several weeks, and only then can construction begin.
Walls
The finished foundation is laid with waterproofing, treated with mastic and begin to build walls. During operation, periodic reconciliation with the building level is required:
- When erecting an open gazebo, it is enough to lay out pillars of brick to the roof.
- The half-open structure involves the construction of one or two walls.
- The closed type building is fully constructed, if the furnace was planned, it is being erected simultaneously with the walls.
Do not forget about communications and wiring. The plan should indicate the location of the door and windows with an accurate calculation of their size; during the construction of walls, you should constantly check with the project.
Brick gazebo roof
At the final stages of the construction of walls, a timber is laid along the last circle of brick, which is fastened with anchors. A rafter system of wooden elements is built on top, which is covered with a crate, the type of which depends on the roofing material. If the coating is soft, then you need to use a continuous crate, and if a profiled sheet or metal tile, then the step of the crate depends on the specific type of material and is indicated by the roof manufacturer. The final stage of construction is the installation of windows and doors, glazing.
Brick gazebo design: exterior and interior decoration
When designing the gazebo and budgeting, you need to allocate a certain amount for the internal and external decoration of the gazebo. The appearance of the gazebo should please, which means that it is important to approach the design of the building with all responsibility. Of course, brickwork itself is attractive, but you can use more complex options for external decoration:
- Figured brickwork with offset bricks.
- The introduction of the picture into the plane of the wall, using carved brick or building material of a different color.
- The use of art forging.
- Facing the basement with wild stone.
- Decoration of the gazebo with wooden elements with spectacular carvings.
- Use of plaster figures and stucco moldings, street lamps.
As for the interior decor, all surfaces lend themselves to it. For example, the walls can be tiled or glued with moisture-proof wallpaper, the floor is tiled with wood or wood, and the stove is overlaid with a wild stone. Also, textiles (plaid and pillows, curtains), lamps and plaster figures are used as decor. The key element of the gazebo can be a barbecue or fireplace, which can be beautifully beaten by laying a stone over the structure and creating a decorative forged shelf for storing firewood.
When is it worth operating the building: in winter or in summer?
Due to the high thermal insulation properties of the material, such a capital structure is used at any time of the year.
In addition, the brick gazebo has other advantages. Among them:
- fire safety
- ability to withstand heavy loads,
- resistance to precipitation, moisture,
- ease of repair
- long period of operation,
- compatibility of appearance with any direction of design.
At the preparation stage, construction may seem rather laborious, however, the result obtained in the form of a reliable construction compensates for the time, effort and finances spent.
Which form of construction is preferred?
In fact, absolutely any geometric shape can become the basis of the gazebo.
Most popular are:
- Square. The optimal size is 4x4. It features quick and easy assembly. In it, you can maximize the use of free space. It does not require special skills.
- Rectangular Simplified design. You can build it yourself without difficulty. Construction does not take much time. Most often found in size 3x4. This form allows you to clearly calculate the required number of building materials. The rectangular arbor is suitable for any type of layout and style of landscape design.
- Round. Most often it is a type of open rotunda. It requires careful design, since any unaccounted detail can lead to distortion of the structure.
- Multifaceted. The best option is the shape of a hexagon. The original appearance will give the garden plot elegance. Materials must be purchased with a margin, because most of them are designed for the construction of rectangular buildings. The entrance can be positioned anywhere, while such a solution will not be displayed in any way on the aesthetics of the overall picture.
- Combined. Assumes a combination of different geometric shapes. It is appropriate in a territory with a large area where the recreation area, reception and cooking are divided.
Remember! By increasing the angles inside the structure, it will be possible to expand its dimensions, but at the same time, the usable area will decrease significantly.
Types of arbors
The following types are worth highlighting:
- Open. It consists of support posts made of metal or wood and a roof. Instead of walls, beautiful curtains, climbing plants. Not intended for use in winter. Barbecue facilities or barbecue facilities can be placed inside.

The price of finished gazebos will depend on the size, shape and cost of building materials. The average cost of work is 3000 p. for 1 square. m
If the owners firmly decided to erect it on their own, then the article will offer step-by-step instructions for building and photos of finished projects of brick gazebos, among which the reader can find a suitable option.
How to choose a brick?
Before proceeding with the creation of the structure, it is necessary to determine the type of material used.
To do this, remember:
- White silicate brick will ensure a neat masonry. Due to this, it, along with facing, is often used for finishing work.
- The foundation and walls of the future construction should be erected from red brick. It is moisture resistant and has a longer life than white.
- Clinker type of brick does not require finishing. It is recommended to use it for outdoor masonry - it will give the gazebo attractiveness without any decoration. Before proceeding with the creation of the structure, it is necessary to determine the type of material used. To do this, remember:
Having decided on the main material, you should prepare the site, tools and proceed with the construction of the structure.
Step-by-step construction
In order for the construction to last for many years, each type of work should be distributed in stages. Among them:
- Design.
- Fill the base.
- Mounting the frame.
- The construction of the roof.
- Flooring.
- Finish.
- Interior decoration.
In addition, you must immediately prepare:
- level,
- Roulette
- trough for mixing mortar or concrete mixer,
- bayonet shovel
- welding machine,
- wooden pegs
- rope (for marking the site)
- boards
- cement,
- sand,
- crushed stone
- fittings
- waterproofing
- trowel
- timber
- metal pipes
- roofing material.
The key to successful construction is a well-designed design drawing that will help to avoid mistakes in the process of its creation.
Project development
First you need to draw a rough sketch of a future gazebo. Take into account:
- So that the building blends harmoniously with the stylistic decision of the surrounding facilities.
- Dimensions and shape of the structure for accurate calculation of the number of building materials.
- The rose of the winds. If you plan to lay a fireplace or barbecue, it is necessary to take this factor into account so that others do not drown in a smokescreen.
- Arrangement of trees. Their roots will cause damage and destruction of the foundation over time.
Choosing a place and type of gazebo, you can begin to create a construction scheme, which without fail make a detailed plan of the foundation, frame, roof, indicate the method of laying communications.
The visibility of the project will ensure the preparation of three drawings simultaneously. In them, the future gazebo needs to be depicted in the context, from the front and side.
When the development of the project is completed, a cost estimate is drawn up, where it is signed how much each type of material and its quantity cost, the total cost figure is displayed.
Do-it-yourself construction of a structure that would decorate the site and serve as a place to relax with family or friends is not difficult. The main thing is desire and skills.
Selection, laying of the foundation
The type of foundation must be selected based on the functional purpose of the building. Open structures are light in weight and a columnar view is suitable for them. But a closed gazebo should be erected on a monolithic, strip foundation.
Remember that the columnar base does not fit under brick supports, since without a grillage they will loosen to the sides.
A good solution is to use the combined option, when the cooking area with a barbecue or oven will be on the tape, and the corner for the summer holidays on the column.
If the building plot is covered with sandy, clay soil, it is better to use a tape shallow foundation. This is a rather cheap option, since 1 running meter will cost 4.5 thousand rubles.
You can get it as follows:
- The site is leveled and the top layer is removed to a depth of 20 cm.
- Marking is carried out using pegs and rope.
- A trench up to 50 cm deep is rummaged around the perimeter.
- Sand is poured into it at a level of 20 cm. It is flooded with water. Rammed.
- After which 10 cm of crushed stone is applied.
- Of the reinforcement of 12 mm, the frame is knitted. Formwork is formed from the boards. The height of the tape should not exceed 60 cm and a width of 40 cm.
- The base is poured with concrete mortar. After solidification, the formwork is removed.
- The last step is to apply a waterproofing tape on top of the tape.
If the project provides for the construction of a fireplace or stove, a separate foundation must be built for them.
Frame and walls
Since it is expensive to buy a brick for an integral structure, combined constructions have gained popularity. For example, in the arbours of brick and wood, half of the structure is made of the first material, and the upper part, including the roof truss system, from the second. The base is finished with natural stone. Forging elements are added around the perimeter.
The best solution is to make brick pillars, and use wood, polycarbonate or just glaze as a material for the walls.
In order to get a brick frame, you need:
- Weld 4 iron rods to the parts of the protruding reinforcement from the foundation. Form a frame from them.
- Knead a solution of cement and sand in a ratio of 1 to 3.
- Prepare hollow bricks. Lay on top of the roofing material and stretch the welded fittings through them.
- The evenness of the order is checked using the building level.
- The width of the support column is 1 brick.
- A wooden column is attached to the masonry with an anchor pin, which is driven into a brick. And in its lower part a hole for a thread is cut. Thus it is screwed in.
For accuracy in applying the mortar and even joints, it is recommended to use limiters from reinforcement rods that are pulled out after laying the next row of bricks.
Roof
When erecting the upper part of the gazebo, the slope angle should be at least 45 0. In this case, the snow will not linger on the roof and create an extra load.
Already to the studs previously prepared in the masonry, rafters are mounted. Then they are perpendicularly closed with a crate.
If the gazebo will serve as a summer kitchen, the place where the pipes exit to the roof is covered with refractory material.
In some cases, roofing requires the manufacture of a counter-lattice.
For a roof well suited:
- slate,
- polycarbonate
- corrugated board
- metal or flexible tiles.
And also in the private sector, you can see a variant of the roof made of iron, which is then painted.
The most economical and most practical solution is pouring concrete screed.To do this, remove the topsoil and level the surface. If necessary, treat with chemicals to get rid of vegetation. The prepared area is poured with a solution and aligned with the rule. As soon as the mixture dries out a little, you should cover it with plastic wrap. This is a necessary measure to avoid cracking. The floor will be dry no earlier than in a week.
An alternative could be laying paving slabs on a sand cushion.
For enclosed gazebos, the option of a wooden floor is suitable when planking is performed on top of the laid beams. There are many videos on the network where this technology for creating flooring is described in detail.
Finishing and interior decoration
When the main processes are completed, the building should be given an attractive appearance. The corner part of the gazebo is treated with stone, decorative tiles. Siding is suitable for walls. Glass doors that will provide a good overview of the territory will look original. An open gazebo can be decorated with forged elements of aluminum and steel. Along the perimeter, plant climbing plants and shrubs.
There are no restrictions on the choice of interior design. It becomes popular to decorate a room in a rustic style, "Country", "Provence".
Their integral parts of the decor are antique furniture, potted plants, sideboards with many dishes. In the color scheme, preference is given to discreet tones of blue, lilac, yellow, green.

And in order to simplify the process of construction and decoration of the structure, we offer several options for finished projects.
A variant of a gazebo with a brick frame. Instead of walls and windows, polycarbonate is used.
The lower part of the building is made of brick, finished with stone on top. The supports are metal pipes. On the sides of the openings of the structure are sheathed in wood.
The supports of this gazebo are made of brick. Forged elements are fencing. For the roof, a rafter system made of wood is used.
It is worth noting that it is much more pleasant to spend leisure time in the arbor created and decorated with your own hands, because a part of the soul of the owners is enclosed in each part of it.
Exterior decoration
The masonry itself is beautiful, especially with the use of finishing bricks, but there are more complex approaches to external decoration:
- Figured masonry with a displacement of the brick is used, or a drawing is introduced into the plane of the wall, resorting to materials of a different color. Carved bricks are also used.
- To improve the exterior, combined decoration methods are used. Elegantly combined with brick art forging.
- Elements of wild stone on the basement can be beaten with the same stove or fireplace lining inside the gazebo.
- The restrained and at the same time spectacular wood carving that adorns the brick gazebo looks amazing.
- Stucco molding can be stylized with white masonry.
- The building is sometimes decorated with street lamps or plaster figures.
- Exterior decoration includes not only the arbor itself, but also the paths laid to it, the area around the building.
Interior decor
Indoor decoration refers to walls, floors, ceilings, fireplace or barbecue facilities. The interior decoration should correspond to the external style of construction, as well as other objects on the site.
The walls are laid with tiles, pasted with moisture-proof wallpaper. The floor is tiled, with wooden plates, made of concrete or stone. Around the stove, the finish should be made of refractory tile or stone. Forged elements can participate in the decor of fixtures, floor, barbecue, firewood.
In the winter versions of the gazebo there is furniture that is arranged according to the chosen style.
Tips & Tricks
The arbor can replace a picnic in nature, it has the same features, but enhanced by comfort. So that the building could serve as a place of good rest, you need to properly organize it. Maybe, A few building and construction tips will help you do this:
- When working on the foundation, the location of the stove or fireplace should be strengthened.
- Entrance to the building must be done from the leeward side. A gazebo with a stove is built so that smoke does not enter the premises of the house.
- When working with masonry, you can stretch the tape for a perfect wall.
- During winter construction, water supply should be carried out, and, if possible, sewage.
- If it is not possible to organize the water supply, it is better to build a gazebo near a well or well.
- A fire safety zone with barbecue facilities and barbecue is arranged five meters from the house, but it should be located from the side of the kitchen or entrance to the house, so that it is easier to carry dishes and food.
- Firewood for comfortable use is arranged near the barbecue, they can be equally stylized.
- If the cooking area is outside the building, it is better to arrange it with a canopy.
Not only the gazebo should look beautiful, but also the surrounding area, it should be planted with flowering plants, organize paths and benches, turned into a real paradise. In such a place, the rest will be full and unforgettable.
Beautiful examples
It is not difficult to choose a gazebo for your site, you just need to determine its size and function, consider many beautiful examples and choose the only one that will become a vacation destination for many years.
- A variant of the octagonal gazebo, decorated with wooden elements and stone.
- Closed-type building with active glazing.
- The interior of a gated building with kitchen and relaxation areas. The masonry of light brick walls is complemented by a multifaceted ceiling of a similar color.
- Semi-open brick gazebo with wood elements. Built as a kitchen area with oven and countertop.
- Semi-open structure of complex shape with brickwork in the open fire zone.
- Amazingly beautiful gazebo, combining simplicity and impeccability of the structure. The right combination of brick, stone and floor tiles was the culmination of design skill.
- Bright open gazebo with spectacular twisted columns. With the help of red brick and stone, the kitchen area is highlighted.
- Arbor made in the form of a Chinese pagoda. Design emphasis is placed on the roof, under which you can see a simple, but functional structure.
- The design is irregular in the Gothic style. Dividing the gazebo into two parts gives it the opportunity to relate to the buildings of closed and open type at the same time.
Having a plot with a house, you should definitely think about the gazebo. This is a real opportunity, without leaving your comfort zone, to feel yourself in nature and to taste food cooked on an open fire.
