The gazebo refers to those constructions that complete the design of the country area. For their manufacture, you can use various materials: brick, wooden bar or logs. But the most simple and practical option will be the construction of a metal profile gazebo.

Characteristics of metal construction
Metal structures will definitely make the country territory more attractive. There are many options for garden metal arbors:
- round;
- square;
- rectangular;
- with different number of angles (6 or 8);
- worn.
Constructions can be portable or stationary. The first are the summer option, installed directly on the ground and are subject to dismantling when cold weather occurs. Stationary metal gazebos (in the photo) in most cases are mounted on a pre-made foundation.
It is better to build a stationary design, since the assembly of the portable arbore is carried out using bolts and nuts. As a result of their constant screwing / unscrewing, metal corrosion occurs.
The main characteristics of metal structures are:
- durability and reliability;
- resistance to mechanical load, temperature differences and high humidity;
- the possibility of combining with the design of other buildings (for finishing, you can use professional flooring, clapboard, slate or polycarbonate);
- prolonged operational period;
- easy to care (only processed places that are affected by corrosion over time);
- the probability of repair work.
If you compare metal gazebos for giving with wooden structures, they have such undoubted advantages:
- the possibility of transferring to another area (and this can be done both in summer and in winter);
- the cheapness of the construction of the structure (the tipped board and glued bar are much more expensive than metal profiles).
The process of mounting the metal arbor consists of the following steps:
- selection and preparation of space for construction;
- cutting metal blanks;
- construction of the frame;
- assembly roof arbor;
- finish design.
Selection and preparation of the site
It is clear that the gazebo wants to establish on the most beautiful place of the country area (for example, near the artificial reservoir). But this is not the main criterion for placing the structure.
Accidental attention should be paid to:
- creating a smooth surface;
- lighting issues (both natural and artificial);
- the sizes of the structure (a gazebo should be accommodated in the designated territory);
- the presence of hedges from shrubs or curly plants (when erecting an open structure).
After that, it is necessary to make drawings of a metal gazebo. Due to them, the exact dimensions of the design and the number of purchased materials are accurately determined.
Preparation of the site is:
- removing the upper layer of soil to a depth of 0.2 m;
- backfilling a 5-centimeter sand layer;
- watering and rubbing sand;
- creation of formwork from boards;
- pouring into it a concrete solution.
Instead of concrete, the base under the metal gazebo from the polycarbonate can be covered with paving slabs. This option is especially acceptable when the construction is planned to be subsequently moved to another place.
Features of creating blanks
After determining the size and configuration of the design, cooking blanks. Metal pipes are placed in the section of the section. For cutting blanks is used by a scab with a disc on metal.
The process itself is carried out in glasses and rubber gloves. Sliced \u200b\u200bblanks are declined by type:
- for the main framework;
- trimming for struts.
It should be noted that it is possible to save the material by reducing the pipe cross section from the main part of the frame to the roofing crate. The lower part of the metal gazebo is shuting out of the thick pipes, and higher elements are made of material with a smaller cross section.
Mounting carcass
To create a design, welding work will be required. Their quality depends on many factors (welding machine models, forms of pipes used electrodes).
In most cases, use the inverter modification welding machine. Pipes are connected to each other in two ways:
- in Tavr;
- in the angle.
For high-quality welding, it is necessary to carefully prepare the end part of the pipes:
- the dirt, garbage and oxidation is removed from the pipes;
- ends are cut and aligned;
- the edges, the outer and inner surface, which adjacent to the edges (the minimum strip width is 10 mm).
The metal frame device for the gazebo consists of the following steps:
- places where vertical racks will be installed;
- a brown is digging pits with a depth of 0.8-1 m;
- pipe ends are processed by bitumen mastic;
- pipes are inserted into the pits and secured with the help of the backups;
- the bottom is covered with sand and poured with water;
- a concrete solution is made (1 hour cement and 2 h of sand, to which you can add 1.5 hours of small gravel);
- the concrete solution is poured into the pits (so that it does not grow up, you can make a small round formwork near each pit);
- after 2-3 days, the formwork and the backups are cleaned;
- horizontal elements of the arbor are welded, which connect vertical racks;
- there is a pipe case for roofing;
- junction welding is carried out without a break;
- the reliability of the design made is checked.
The final stage
After creating a frame, metal elements are exposed to anti-corrosion processing:
- parts are cleaned with rust pipes;
- metal is ground (you can use the automotive primer);
- after drying the primer, the surface of the pipe is covered with paint.
Next, proceed to the roofing device. For these purposes, take advantage of plates and corners. The process of creating a roof for a metal gazebo does with their own hands implies the implementation of such actions:
- in places where the roofing coating will be attached, the welding of plates and corners;
- there are holes for self-tapping screws or bolts in the fasteners;
- the roofing material is fixed to the frame.
For high-quality installation of the roofing coating, two sheets are first stacked. The desired slope is calculated. After that, the upper sheet is removed, and the second is fixed with bolts. This technology is quite suitable for the construction of metal arbors for giving with polycarbonate.
As for the floor, it can be made both concrete and wooden. In the second embodiment, nails (each other) and self-tapping screws are used to connect the boards (to metallic pipes). The floor is trimmed with varnish.
