Drawing of a 3x3 gazebo with dimensions and specifications. Step-by-step master class on building a gazebo: simple but tasteful

Gazebos 3 by 3 meters are perhaps the most popular among summer residents. Its main advantages are low price due to the small amount of building material and a fairly large capacity.

3x3 gazebos can accommodate up to 10 people. It can comfortably accommodate 6 people under any conditions, and with a round table and benches, it can accommodate ten people at once.

Next, I would like to introduce you to the process of building such a gazebo from Dmitry Maltsev. He shared his experience on video hosting Youtube and website ForumHouse. Dmitry is building a beautiful and very reliable design made of high-quality and massive materials - timber 150 by 150 mm.

It will also show options that can be purchased in popular online stores. Green Gazebo And Oasis-Stroy. In terms of quality, they are clearly inferior to Dmitry’s construction, but the construction process can be avoided. At the end some other ideas for summerhouses will be shown.

Before starting work, it is important to understand what the end result is and with what construction resources it will be achieved. First of all, let's decide on the technical “stuffing” of our building, then consider the building material and its price, and in the end we’ll look at the drawing of the building “from above.”

Dimensions: 3 by 3 meters;
Foundation: columnar (on brick blocks);
Frame material: in the corners there is a beam of 150 by 150 mm (4 pillars) + along the perimeter there is a beam of 100 by 150 mm (5 posts);
Roof: hipped;
Roof: soft tiles;
Furniture: round, chairs, lounger;
Additionally: , steps in front of the entrance.

Building material with prices

The owner of the gazebo shared very interesting information related to the amount of building material and its approximate cost. It will be useful for predicting the budget of a future design.

Beam 150x150 (4 pieces, 6 meters each) - 3500 rubles;
Beam 100x150 (4 pieces, 6 meters each) - 2100 rubles;
Board 50x150 (27 pieces, 6 meters each) - 8400 rubles;

Lamp, wiring, switch, socket - 500 rubles.

Total: 38,500 rubles.

Drawings with dimensions

It is important to imagine the project not only “in your mind”, but also to fully see it on paper. The drawing allows you to examine the structure from all sides, focusing on the dimensions of the material and the connections between them.

The first photo is directly the gazebo that we will build in the future. Its top view is shown. The second photo is a project with gable roof, which can also be implemented by you during the construction process. It shows many dimensions that in most cases are simply not indicated on a standard drawing.

Step by step construction

Next we will consider step-by-step construction gazebo, which was guided by the owner of this wooden building(photo below). This is exactly the final result we should get if you follow all the recommendations below.

Important: If you have experience and knowledge, you can make your own adjustments to the construction. The roof can be made from ondulin, not soft tiles; the foundation does not necessarily have to be made of white brick, and the roof does not have to be hipped.

The ideal we will strive for

Foundation

The base is a columnar foundation made of crushed stone, sand, tiles (9 pieces), bricks (54 pieces) and roofing felt sheets (9 pieces). The process of its formation is as follows:

Stage 1 - pits

Nine holes are dug to the depth of a spade bayonet;
The holes are filled with crushed stone, sand on top, and then it’s all thrombosed;
The tiles are laid on top of the compacted sand (simply laid, without fastenings). All tiles must be level;
Bricks are laid on the tiles and connected using a DSP. The height will vary depending on the area. The most important thing is that the entire foundation is clearly level at the end of the work.
Waterproofing is laid on top of the finished brick blocks - sheets of roofing felt.

Stage 2 - crushed stones, stones and thrombus

The main problem is to lay the foundation exactly level, since the height of the bricks is fixed. You'll have to adjust the entire base to fit them. Where the soil height is lower, more bricks will need to be laid. Where higher, 2 layers are enough.

Stage 3 - laying tiles
Bricks

The bottom frame is laid on the foundation pillars - four beams 150 by 150 mm. The beams are connected to each other using fastenings “into the floor of the tree” (75 mm grooves are cut at the end of each beam, which are subsequently overlapped).

Your end result should look like this:

Frame and top trim

On top of the lower frame it is necessary to place nine horizontal pillars, which will later serve as the basis for the frame of the entire building:

4 posts made of timber 150 by 150 mm (in the corners);
5 pillars made of timber 150 by 100 mm (around the perimeter).

It is important not to forget about the doors. Decide in advance on the front side of the gazebo; you will need to install 2 pillars on it (for the entrance opening), instead of one.

The top trim consists of timber 150 by 100 mm. By analogy with the lower trim, the fastening between the beams is carried out “into the floor of the tree.” A timber with a thickness of 150 by 100 is quite enough to create a powerful and reliable rafter system, on top of which the roof will be laid.

Important: additional fastening is carried out using long metal corners and self-tapping screws.

Finished frame and top frame made of timber

Floor

Before laying the floor, it is necessary to mention the joists. A total of 5 of them are installed from timber 150 by 50 mm. They are attached flush with the bottom trim. It is on them that the floor boards are subsequently laid and fastened.

For the floor, boards 150 by 50 mm are used. Like all other wooden parts of the gazebo, the boards are first painted on both sides (paint and impregnation will be discussed in a separate section later), then dried, and only after that they are laid on the floor with 3-4 mm gaps for water drainage.

In the places where the pillars are installed, it will be necessary to make cutouts so that the floor goes “solid”.

Batten

Roof

The roof uses a classic four-slope rafter system. The rafters are 150 by 50 mm bars that form a roof of four triangles of the same size.

Assembled rafter system

The rafter system is assembled in advance. After installing the top trim, it is simply lifted to the top and secured.

After fixing, the roof begins to be sheathed with boards 25 by 120 mm.

This is done in order to later lay soft tiles on the sheathing.

If you plan to use a different building material, the sheathing may not be as dense as shown in the photo below. The main thing is that the roof is tightly fixed to the rafter system.

Roof

Having finished with the roof, you can begin installing the roof. The owner chose soft tiles as one of the roofing options for the gazebo. Your choice is not limited only to tiles; if desired, you can lay cheaper sheets of corrugated sheets or ondulin.

You will find instructions for laying Shinglas tiles in the package. There are no special subtleties here. Try to do everything safely and beautifully.

Painting, impregnation

Since the work is done with a material that is susceptible to rotting, it is necessary to think about an additional layer that will protect the wood from destruction. Dmitry used the very popular Pinotex Ultra impregnation, which required about 10 liters. On the forums it was suggested that for a high-quality coating it could take up to 15 liters.

All wood that is used in construction must be processed efficiently and reliably before attaching it to the gazebo structure. This will increase the service life of your building by decades.

Safety net

The most interesting solution was to completely wrap the building. According to the owner, it immediately solved a number of problems:

The shading effect allows you to relax cool even in the hottest weather
The mesh completely protects the space from mosquitoes - mosquitoes, horseflies, flies, hornets and so on.
When it rains, the mesh handles drops almost perfectly. Bad weather will not be an obstacle to your vacation.

At the same time there is one significant drawback- the beauty and grandeur of the gazebo is covered with some kind of mesh for a thousand rubles. There is no clear opinion on this matter; you will need to make your own decision as to what is more important to you - aesthetic appearance or comfort.

Completely finished building

Video

Initially, I saw the process of assembling this gazebo on the Youtube channel “ Dmitry Maltsev" Later I saw that this method of construction is very popular and discussed on the Internet and I decided to give you an example of it.

Price in store

In addition, I would like to cite a few ready-made options, which you can buy without any problems and you don’t have to worry about building it yourself. Gazebos are sold in online stores Green Gazebo And Oasis-Stroy(we are not directly involved in sales, we only provide information).

Despite the low price, the size and reliability of the materials of these structures are several times lower than those built by yourself. If you were to buy a gazebo using similar materials, it would cost more than 100 thousand for sure.

Assembling a standard gazebo

Gazebos manufactured by the company " Garden gazebos" are simple and convenient to install and can be used for self-installation by the customer. Installation time for a standard wooden gazebo with a tiled roof takes approximately 5-7 hours.

To install the gazebo, you will need an assistant and some tools: a screwdriver for twisting finished sections, gazebo parts, a sharp knife for cutting tiles, a furniture stapler or a hammer for fastening the roof. All details of the gazebos are carefully adjusted to each other.

Let's look at an example of installing a standard hexagonal gazebo "White Forging" Article 1023. The diameter of this gazebo is 3 meters, capacity up to 10 people.

Due to the lightness of the design of garden gazebos, there is no need to manufacture expensive strip or column foundations, since the weight of a standard wooden gazebo is approximately 300 kilograms.

The first stage of installing a gazebo is leveling the site. The area for the gazebo is leveled and filled with sand, slag, crushed stone or other hard soil. IN in this case We install the gazebo on a prepared, level area.

The wooden floor of the gazebo, consisting of two sections, is laid on the platform where the gazebo will be installed. For the convenience of fastening the sex sections to each other, unscrew the two outer boards, then fasten the sex sections with 8 x 60 screws, 13 mm keyed (6 pieces of screws included + washers)

After fastening the floor sections together, we proceed to the foundation. For the foundation of the gazebo there are 7 decorative tiles, six at the corners and one in the center of the gazebo.

The turf under the tile is removed, between the tile and wooden frame We lay waterproofing on the floor using scraps of soft tiles. We cut off the protruding parts of the waterproofing with a knife.

The wooden base must be strictly level, without distortion! The floor frame is not allowed to come into contact with the ground; the gap between the floor and the ground is needed for ventilation of the lower part of the floor.

We screw the removed floor boards back to the same places. The base of the gazebo is ready, let's start installing the sections. The sections of the gazebo walls come assembled.

We fasten the sections with 3.5 x 55 mm self-tapping screws to the pillars (supports) of the gazebo.

We screw the screws into inconspicuous places: behind the top trim of the section, under the railing, behind the openwork elements. If necessary, drill holes for self-tapping screws.

To attach one side of the section to a pole, 5-6 self-tapping screws 3.5 x 55 are required. All screws are supplied included!

We press the sections tightly against the pole; there should be no gaps when installing the gazebo!

After all sections are installed, we proceed to the installation of the rafter system of the gazebo. We drill holes for the self-tapping screws and attach the hexagon. The hexagon serves as a stop for the rafters.

We fasten two adjacent rafters to the hexagon with 3.5 x 70 mm self-tapping screws

We lift the resulting structure onto the top frame of the gazebo. We use a stepladder.

We fasten the bottom of the rafter to the post with a 4.2 x 102 mm self-tapping screw

The remaining rafters are installed according to the same scheme.

If the rafters at the top of the gazebo do not meet, check that the floor is installed correctly. If the floor is installed skewed, the rafters will not stand up!

We lay the finished sheathing segments on the rafters. The wooden roof sheathing, after assembly, is also a ready-made ceiling for the gazebo.

The finished roof segment must be strictly exactly located in the center of the two rafters to which it is attached.

The roof segments are screwed one at a time around the gazebo roof, face down.

For convenience, it is better to install the gazebo sheathing with an assistant and use a ladder.

To attach the sheathing to the rafters, nails measuring 60-70 mm are used

Bituminous tiles are used to cover the roof of the gazebo; the consumption of tiles to cover the roof of a standard hexagonal gazebo is approximately 12 m2

Before covering the gazebo roof soft roof, you need to unscrew the transport fastenings on all segments of the sheathing.

Laying soft tiles begins from the bottom of the roof slope of the gazebo. The roof is attached using a stapler to 8-10 mm staples or 15 mm roofing felt nails.

The tiles are cut using a sharp knife.

The roof ridges are cut from the same tiles. We attach the ridge to tar nails.

To attach the brackets we use 4.2 x 70 mm self-tapping screws. To ensure secure fastening, we screw the screws through the press washers. We screw in self-tapping screws at the rate of 3 pieces for each bracket (two on top, one on the bottom). If necessary, holes are drilled to avoid cracking of the wood!

We lay out the finished benches on the brackets.

If the diagonals of the installed sections are equal, then the benches fit perfectly into the gazebos, otherwise you should align the diagonals using a tape measure.

We fix the benches with 3.5 x 35 mm screws from the bottom, and drill holes if necessary.

After attaching the benches, we attach the corners of the gazebo to the wooden base using self-tapping screws 4.2 x 75

Assembling the table using furniture screws 5 x 60 mm

table assembly

Assembling the table takes no more than 10 minutes!

To fasten the tabletop we use 4.2 x 75 mm self-tapping screws and drill a hole for the self-tapping screw.

Fastening the table top. Remove the packaging film.

The gazebo table is ready!

This is what the finished product looks like summerhouse produced by the Garden Pavilions company.

Order garden gazebos from the manufacturer at reasonable prices and without additional fees to intermediaries, save your time and money.

Wooden and brick gazebos, as well as canopies that combine these two materials in their design, are especially popular among owners of urban and suburban land plots. Where else can you relax in such comfort?

It’s stuffy in the house in the summer, the sun is scorching outside, mosquitoes and other living creatures are annoying. A covered terrace in the yard or garden will provide fresh air and, with the right approach, protect it from all negative factors.

In addition, the interior of a wooden gazebo can consist not only of hard benches, but also fully corresponds to many people’s idea of a comfortable living room.

What could be more convenient than wooden gazebos and canopies (see), and what is the difference between them?

Gazebos can be attached to a building or free-standing, and most often have a full roof that matches the configuration of the building. Pergolas occupy a special place among them: due to the slotted single-level roof, until recently they were not classified as gazebos at all.

So:

Initially, they served as a support for. But everything flows, everything changes. The protruding figured rafters of the roof, to which the green shoots should cling, were so popular with designers that they often began to decorate the walls with a board mounted on an edge with a gap, as is done on a pergola roof.

In the photo above we see exactly this option. In general, in order to make a pergola a full-fledged gazebo (see), protecting from rain, such design ideas, such as laying polycarbonate rafters on top or installing transverse sheathing covered with a soft roof.
In general, the pergola has changed in appearance and has long moved from the category of trellis garden structures to the category of gazebos. But the basic concept: a roof with a perforated structure, of course, remains. And even if it's covered roofing material, the rafters remain visible and serve as the main decoration of the building.
How can you characterize the concept of “canopy”? This is a roof supported by pillars or one or two walls. The same can be said about the gazebo, but it also has a floor that turns the space under the canopy into some kind of room.

Note! Now it’s time to clarify what a terrace is. And this is a lined platform or flooring, arranged on a prepared foundation. The floor of the gazebo is installed in the same way. The conclusion suggests itself: a terrace plus a canopy - you get a gazebo!

As for the terrace, it may have no roof at all, go around the perimeter of the house, or hang over a relief ledge. Its area can significantly exceed the size of the canopy, and then it turns out that there is a gazebo on the terrace. In general, all these concepts are interconnected.
As for the execution of gazebos, there is practically no limit to perfection. There are a lot of options: these are metal frame buildings (see), lined with polyurethane stucco or stone; and corner wooden gazebos; glass pavilions; solid brick buildings and much more.

It is simply impossible to tell about everything at once, so our story will be based on one of the most popular and easy-to-implement options: a 3x3 wooden gazebo, with pitched roof(see), which even a person who does not have special knowledge in this matter can do with his own hands.

The main thing is to be able to use carpentry tools, and being smart doesn’t hurt either. To better understand the information presented, we suggest watching the video in this article.

Stages of construction and arrangement of a gazebo

The construction of a gazebo, like any other object, consists of several stages.

This:

design or binding finished project to the area;
cleaning the site and marking the axes of the structure;
arrangement of the foundation;
installing a frame or erecting walls;
roof installation;
finishing;
filling the interior with furniture and accessories.

For each of these points we will offer brief instructions. Regarding the first point, let's say this. Not every person, especially if he is far from construction, will be able to design a gazebo correctly, without the help of professionals.

It is difficult to decide on the type of foundation and its depth, select materials, maintain the proportions of the structure, and build a beautiful roof.

But if the construction is standard: a wooden arbor is corner (see), square or a arbor in the form of a polyhedron, you don’t have to worry about the project. On the Internet you can find ready-made drawings: for the frame part and for the roof separately. Even such a simple plan, which we gave as an example, will help determine the number and location of vertical racks. And this is already a lot.
A building with a span of three meters does not necessarily have to have a square plan. For example, an octagonal wooden gazebo can have such a distance between opposite edges. At the same time, its area is almost the same 9 m2 - it’s just that the structure has a different configuration.

By the way, a multifaceted gazebo always visually seems more spacious, and its capacity, oddly enough, is greater. Having chosen a suitable drawing, immediately think about what decorative elements gazebos made of wood will be carried out - after all, you need to calculate the required amount of material.

And one more thing: mark on the drawing the location of the stove, if you plan to install one (see). After all, a foundation is needed under it, and it should be erected in parallel with the foundation of the gazebo. If you conduct communications, also mark their entry points.

What is the reason for the construction of the building?

Preparing the base for a gazebo can be done in different ways. It all depends on the terrain of the area, climatic features terrain, soil type and moisture content.

If the site is located on a hill, you will have to put the gazebo on piles. It's easier than shoveling a ton of soil trying to level the base.

So:

In regions where snow falls heavily in winter or in low-lying areas that are regularly flooded by stormwater, you need to consider raising the structure as high as possible above the ground surface. The organization of drainage is also an integral part of excavation work in such areas.

In such situations, the same piles come to the rescue - or foundation pillars made of bricks, concrete blocks, monolithic concrete, which are brought to the surface to the required height. In exactly the same way can be erected strip foundation, smoothly turning into the base and even into the high brick parapet of the gazebo.
In this case, the wooden posts are immediately embedded in the masonry, and it looks something like the photo above. A gazebo can be a purely summer structure if, for example, it is located in a country house that is not visited the rest of the time. But when it is built next to residential building, there is every reason to create a cozy and warm corner for all-season use.

In this case, the walls are made permanent, they are insulated, all openings are glazed, and even a fireplace is installed in the gazebo. Naturally, the price of the building increases, but it can become no less comfortable than the living room in the house. The comfort in it depends entirely on what kind of furniture and accessories will fill the interior space.

What could be the floor in the gazebo?

The choice of floor design is made based on all the above-mentioned nuances (see). If the gazebo is summer, and you want grass under your feet, install the canopy on four pillars, and leave the platform in its original form or lay flat stones on it, between which vegetation will grow. At the same time, you must be sure that after rain there will be no knee-deep water under the canopy.

When there is no such confidence, it is better to prepare the site for an open gazebo according to all the rules: remove the plant layer of soil, compact a cushion of sand and gravel mixture, and concrete the surface. On such a base, tiled cladding will look great - and not only please the eye, but also serve for a long time.
In a situation where the gazebo needs to be raised above the ground surface, this option for arranging the floor is not suitable. You can, of course, make a monolithic slab foundation - it is ideal for facing work. But the thicker the slab, the greater the consumption of concrete and reinforcement, and, accordingly, the cost.

If this doesn’t scare you, you can upload it. But if we think from the point of view of economic feasibility, then it is easier and cheaper to make a frame floor.

Of course, boards don't last as long as ceramic cladding, but today there is a great alternative: terrace board(decking), which is a composite of sawdust and polymer resins, and is generally not afraid of moisture.

Reliable fastening of structures

When building a gazebo, the most important thing is that its structures are securely fixed and the frame of the structure is rigid. This mainly concerns vertical posts, which can be either embedded in the foundation or attached to the floor frame. Since we are talking about a small wooden gazebo, we will talk about this option.

Frame support

Having a normal situation with the quality and moisture of the soil on the site, you don’t have to worry too much about the foundation. For small gazebo, at the base of which there will be wood flooring, the supports will be ordinary concrete blocks, but they should not be porous.

That is, you can use blocks with a light filler of slag, expanded clay, or polystyrene chips. Foam or gas blocks are not recommended. The reason for this is their lower strength and high moisture permeability. Cellular blocks are wall material, and they are not used for the construction of foundations.

The block supports are laid as follows: the bottom of a shallow hole is compacted with sand, a piece of steel mesh is placed in it and a layer of wet sand-cement mixture is applied. The block is installed immediately.

When the mixture sets, it will securely fix the block in the ground. All supports are installed simultaneously, leveling their spatial position according to the level.

Harness, racks and canopy

Next, horizontal beams are laid - the lower frame of the perimeter of the building. There must be waterproofing underneath them, so pieces of roofing felt are laid on the supports. The beams themselves, naturally, must also be treated with an antiseptic, and it is better if they are also coated with bitumen mastic or liquid rubber from below.

Since in this version of the gazebo assembly the harness is not attached to the foundation in any way, you need to use heavy beams with a cross-section of at least 150 * 150 mm. Having made preliminary selections at the ends, they are laid around the perimeter, after which they are set vertical racks. And here comes the most crucial moment: the horizontal and vertical elements need to be fastened together in such a way as to ensure the rigidity of the frame.

Corner connections of horizontal and vertical beams are made using wooden dowels, which are inserted into pre-drilled holes. In the diagram presented above, everything is clearly visible. But, of course, this connection is further strengthened by metal plates or bevels made of bars.
When the frame is mounted on monolithic foundation, a reinforcement rod embedded in concrete is used as a dowel. Although, many experts believe that wood deteriorates faster when it comes into contact with metal - this is just an opinion, and it can be accepted or not. Today there are many ways to protect materials from corrosion.
We are talking about a gazebo with a pitched roof, and we’ll say right away that it’s easiest to make it by providing a slope due to the height of the posts. If you look at the picture below, everything will be clear without words. Having installed all the racks, proceed to tying them with timber on top. To do this, you can take lumber with a smaller cross-section: 100*150 mm.

And now the frame is exposed, now it’s the turn of the roofing and flooring. It doesn't really matter in what order you do it. You can first lay the logs and mount the sheathing, and then begin installing the rafters, filling the sheathing, and laying the roofing material.

Work order

The roofing is done in the following order, instructions:

Edged boards 5x10 cm are used as rafters.	To connect the rafter system with top harness install a support pole.	For this, a beam of 10x10 cm and a length of 80 cm is used. It is given an octagonal shape, and a 5x10 cm cut is made in the upper part.
Radius roof for multi-faceted design.	The support post is installed in the center of the diagonal screed.	One end of the rafters is installed in the cut of its upper part, the lower ends of which are attached to the cuts of the four corner vertical posts.
	Then the intermediate rafters are attached with the upper end to the support post, and the lower end to the beam of the upper frame.	On top of the rafter system, a sheathing is made of 2.5 cm edged boards on which the roofing material is laid.

Other gazebo options

The table shows the main characteristics of a gazebo made of brick and wood:

Conclusion

The final stage is decorative filling of openings, lining the ceiling, making benches, painting, decorating with textiles, and other pleasant little things. Patterns in wooden gazebos, which some craftsmen create, are able to turn a simple and unremarkable structure into a real masterpiece. Who cuts them out, who burns them, and who, if they have a tool, mills them.

There are many finishing methods, and everyone can show their imagination here. Even if you don’t have any special skills, you can simply decorate the gazebo with plants planted in the ground around the perimeter. And even more so, everyone can hang curtains and flowerpots, and place flowerpots with flowers at the entrance to the gazebo.

To equip your garden plot a comfortable place for a quiet family vacation is not at all necessary to begin capital construction of a monumental structure, which will require significant costs and take a lot of time.

A 3x3 meter wooden gazebo, built with your own hands from affordable and easy-to-process materials, is quite suitable for this purpose. Such a gazebo can easily accommodate two or three families or a fairly large group of friends. In addition, there is enough space to install a mobile barbecue or barbecue so that, regardless of weather conditions, you can make your outdoor recreation complete and cook food over an open fire without being distracted from socializing.

Self-construction of a gazebo

We already wrote about production in a previous article, so what follows here will be about how to build a 3x3 meter gazebo, which, due to its compact size and natural materials will be an excellent place for a family holiday, and an integral part of the gardening industry.

This article will present step-by-step instruction By self-production gazebos for a dacha 3x3 meters, as well as some tips and recommendations, the observance of which will help the home craftsman to perform this work competently and efficiently.

If the installation site is protected from the wind, and its use will be irregular, a 3x3 m garden gazebo awning without walls is perfect for you, the construction of which will cost a little less and take less time.

Foundation arrangement

Having decided on the project and purchasing necessary materials you can start construction work. The first step is to plan the territory and make a columnar foundation for future construction.

On a selected plot of land, remove the fertile layer of soil and draw a 3 by 3 meter gazebo on the ground along the contour of the future building.
At the corners of the square, in the center of its sides and at the intersection of the diagonals, dig pits for foundation columns with a depth of ~500 mm. Thus, their number will be 9 pieces. and the distance between their axes will be 1500 mm.
Compact the bottom of the pits and fill with a layer of ASG 200 mm thick.
Lay columns of bricks on top, tying them together cement-sand mortar. There should be two bricks at the base of each pillar. Increase their quantity to a column height of 250 mm above ground level.
Using a building level, bring the upper plane of the supports into line with the horizon. In the corner posts, install a steel rod D 10-12 mm onto the cement mortar to a depth of 200 mm, so that another 200 mm remains on the surface.
Cover the outside of the pillars with bitumen mastic, and put one or two layers of roofing material on top, after which the holes are filled with ASG and compacted.

Note! When laying the foundation pillars, further work on installing the gazebo can be carried out only after the cement mortar of the brickwork has completely cured.

Construction of the base and floor of the gazebo

At its foundation square gazebo 3x3 meters is made of four wooden blocks of 100x100 mm, which are located along the perimeter of its sides, as well as a fifth one, which is installed at the centers of two opposite sides of the square.

On both sides of each beam, you need to make cutouts to connect the load-bearing beams of the half-tree base and drill a D12 mm hole for the steel rod coming out of the foundation. You need to do the same with the fifth beam, making counter cuts for it in the centers of the opposite beams.
Place the beams on the foundation columns, threading the rods into the holes and connecting their edges halfway across the tree. Check their level for compliance with the horizon, and fasten them together using self-tapping screws.
Prepare 4 beams 100x100 with a length of 2300 mm. Use an electric planer to chamfer the corners by 10 mm. In the upper part, make a 40x100 mm cut to install a diagonal tie, and in the lower end, in the center, drill a hole for a D12 mm rod.

Install vertical supports at the corners of the base, level them and secure them using 40x80 timber braces.
From 40x100 boards, assemble a diagonal tie, connecting them crosswise in half the tree, and make cutouts along the edges for inserting into the cuts of vertical posts. Lifting the tie up and inserting its edges into the cuts, attach it to the posts using self-tapping screws.
At the top of the posts around the perimeter, secure a horizontal roof frame made of 50x100 boards.
Lay a wooden flooring made of boards 40 mm thick without any gaps on the base beams.

Thus, a rigid structure should be obtained from the base, vertical supports and horizontal roof beams.

Roofing production

The roof, or in other words, the awning for a 3x3 gazebo will be made according to the classical scheme with horizontal beams fixed to vertical supports and rafters resting on them, on which the sheathing for the roofing material is laid. The upper edge of the rafters in the central part of the roof is connected to the support column.

First you need to make the column itself, which is cut from 100x100 timber with a length of 800 mm. Using a plane, you need to give it an octagonal shape, and on one side make a vertical cut of 50x100 mm.
As rafters, you need to use 50x100 mm boards, making cutouts in them and connecting them at an angle halfway through the tree.
The post is installed in the center of the crosshairs of the diagonal tie. A connected pair of rafters is inserted into its upper cut, the lower edge of which is inserted and secured with self-tapping screws into the upper cut of the vertical supports. Thus, you need to install all four corner rafters.
The intermediate rafters are attached with the upper end to the support post, and the lower end to the horizontal beam of the upper roof trim.
A sheathing of 25 mm boards is laid on top of this structure and waterproofing roofing material is laid, thus forming a hipped roof.

To cover an awning for a 3x3 gazebo, soft bitumen shingles or a metal profile sheet of the desired color are most often used.

Gazebo walls

Having finished arranging the roof, you can begin making the walls. There is a large variety various options decoration of the walls of the gazebo, among which each owner can choose the most suitable one for himself.

As the simplest and most inexpensive option for continuous lining of walls, we can recommend installing a sheathing on the walls from scraps of timber, onto which solid wooden lining is placed on one or both sides.
As an option for protection from the sun, you can use lattice lining of the walls, which will create shade and will not interfere with the free flow of wind.
An open gazebo around the perimeter can be lined with bushy or climbing plants, which form hedge giving shade.
To imitate a log house, you can sheathe the lower part of the gazebo with timber or a block house, and install massive window sills on top of it.

Advice! After graduation finishing works the entire gazebo can be covered with a tinted protective impregnation of a certain color. In addition to its protective function, it will give your building the necessary shade.

Conclusion

The construction of any construction project, be it a residential building or a 3 by 5 by 3 by 5 gazebo, requires, first of all, responsibility and a serious approach to the matter, but you should not be afraid of this. If you are determined and confident in your abilities, such a simple structure as a 3x3 meter gazebo for a summer house will not take much time, but in the future it will delight you and your guests with warm summer evenings.

In addition, the interior of a wooden gazebo can consist not only of hard benches, but also fully corresponds to many people’s idea of a comfortable living room.

What could be more convenient than wooden gazebos and canopies (see), and what is the difference between them?

So:

Initially, they served as a support for. But everything flows, everything changes. The protruding figured rafters of the roof, to which the green shoots should cling, were so popular with designers that they often began to decorate the walls with a board mounted on an edge with a gap, as is done on a pergola roof.

In the photo above we see exactly this option. In general, in order to make a pergola a full-fledged gazebo (see), which also protects from rain, design ideas such as laying polycarbonate rafters on top or installing a transverse sheathing covered with a soft roof appeared.
In general, the pergola has changed in appearance and has long moved from the category of trellis garden structures to the category of gazebos. But the basic concept: a roof with a perforated structure, of course, remains. And even if it is covered with roofing material, the rafters remain visible and serve as the main decoration of the building.
How can you characterize the concept of “canopy”? This is a roof supported by pillars or one or two walls. The same can be said about the gazebo, but it also has a floor that turns the space under the canopy into some kind of room.

Note! Now it’s time to clarify what a terrace is. And this is a lined platform or flooring, arranged on a prepared foundation. The floor of the gazebo is installed in the same way. The conclusion suggests itself: a terrace plus a canopy - you get a gazebo!

As for the terrace, it may have no roof at all, go around the perimeter of the house, or hang over a relief ledge. Its area can significantly exceed the size of the canopy, and then it turns out that there is a gazebo on the terrace. In general, all these concepts are interconnected.
As for the execution of gazebos, there is practically no limit to perfection. There are a lot of options: these are metal frame buildings (see), lined with polyurethane stucco or stone; and corner wooden gazebos; glass pavilions; solid brick buildings and much more.

It is simply impossible to tell about everything at once, so our story will be based on one of the most popular and easy-to-execute options: a 3x3 wooden gazebo with a pitched roof (see), which even a person who does not have special knowledge of in this matter.

The main thing is to be able to use carpentry tools, and being smart doesn’t hurt either. To better understand the information presented, we suggest watching the video in this article.

Stages of construction and arrangement of a gazebo

The construction of a gazebo, like any other object, consists of several stages.

This:

designing or linking the finished project to the area;
cleaning the site and marking the axes of the structure;
arrangement of the foundation;
installing a frame or erecting walls;
roof installation;
finishing;
filling the interior with furniture and accessories.

We will offer brief instructions for each of these points. Regarding the first point, let's say this. Not every person, especially if he is far from construction, will be able to design a gazebo correctly, without the help of professionals.

It is difficult to decide on the type of foundation and its depth, select materials, maintain the proportions of the structure, and build a beautiful roof.

But if the construction is standard: a wooden arbor is corner (see), square or a arbor in the form of a polyhedron, you don’t have to worry about the project. On the Internet you can find ready-made drawings: for the frame part and for the roof separately. Even such a simple plan, which we gave as an example, will help determine the number and location of vertical racks. And this is already a lot.
A building with a span of three meters does not necessarily have to have a square plan. For example, an octagonal wooden gazebo can have such a distance between opposite edges. At the same time, its area is almost the same 9 m2 - it’s just that the structure has a different configuration.

By the way, a multifaceted gazebo always visually seems more spacious, and its capacity, oddly enough, is greater. Having chosen a suitable drawing, immediately think about what decorative elements of the wooden gazebo will be made - after all, you need to calculate the required amount of material.

What is the reason for the construction of the building?

Preparing the base for a gazebo can be done in different ways. It all depends on the topography of the site, the climatic features of the area, the type of soil and its moisture content.

If the site is located on a hill, you will have to put the gazebo on piles. It's easier than shoveling a ton of soil trying to level the base.

So:

In regions where snow falls heavily in winter or in low-lying areas that are regularly flooded by stormwater, you need to consider raising the structure as high as possible above the ground surface. The organization of drainage is also an integral part of excavation work in such areas.

In such situations, the same piles come to the rescue - or foundation pillars made of brick, concrete blocks, monolithic concrete, which are brought to the surface to the required height. In the same way, a strip foundation can be erected, smoothly turning into a base and even into a high brick parapet of the gazebo.
In this case, the wooden posts are immediately embedded in the masonry, and it looks something like the photo above. A gazebo can be a purely summer structure if, for example, it is located in a country house that is not visited the rest of the time. But when it is built next to a residential building, there is every reason to create a cozy and warm corner for all-season use.
