Construction of a metal gazebo: an overview of the main technological stages. Recommendations for installing a metal gazebo in the country house Features of welding work

On a sunny hot day, when the walls of a country house warm up thoroughly and do not provide the desired coolness, many of us often have a desire to find a place to relax in the fresh air. A good solution for arranging such a cozy corner in the open air will be a gazebo made of metal with your own hands. The elegant design will not cover the picturesque landscape or the view of the house and will become an organic addition to the architectural ensemble.

Beautifully designed metal gazebos for summer cottages, acting as an aesthetic addition to landscape design, are able to emphasize the taste of the owner. The variety of shapes and sizes of metal garden arbors is amazing. The decoration of suburban areas are both traditional round, square, hexagonal and octagonal gazebos, as well as original designs of the most unusual design solutions.

Depending on the designer's ideas, gazebos can be decorated with a wide variety of decorative elements: artistic forging, hanging planters with ampelous flowers ...

The main advantage of gazebos for summer cottages made of metal is their strength and durability. Comfortable designs are able to properly serve more than one season. The only thing that is required to extend their service life is to periodically inspect and promptly clean areas that show signs of corrosion.

The rigidity of the frame of metal arbors helps prevent changes in geometric dimensions, which often occur as a result of uneven subsidence of the soil under the influence of seasonal changes.

Depending on the constructive solution and the functional purpose of the gazebo, any attributes for relaxation can be installed on the covered area, starting with garden furniture and ending with a barbecue or barbecue oven

There are also many options for designing the roof of a metal frame: slate, metal profiled sheet, polycarbonate ... The choice is limited only by the preferences and material capabilities of the owner.

Pavilions can be stationary capital structures, or portable temporary structures. In the first case, they are installed on a base: a slab or column foundation. Portable structures, which are easy to dismantle and remove with the onset of cold weather, are installed directly on the ground.

A do-it-yourself metal gazebo is at least a reason for the pride of its owner. Therefore, we propose to consider the main stages of the construction of a structure so necessary in the economy.

The hexagonal gazebo is a classic that has not lost its relevance for several decades. Such a cozy design has a number of undeniable advantages, the main ones being: elegance, spaciousness, strength and ease of construction.

Such an eight- or hexagonal design is analogous to the round gazebo model, but unlike the latter, it is much simpler in terms of construction.

There is nothing complicated in making a metal gazebo yourself. To do this, you only need to have a specialized tool and have minimal plumbing skills.

Step #1 - Prepare All Required Materials

To make a metal gazebo you will need:

  • Hollow pipes with a wall thickness of 2-4 mm for structural pillars (rectangular or square section);
  • Mounting brackets;
  • Bars for crates;
  • Roofing material (wave polycarbonate, soft tiles ...);
  • Clapboard for wall cladding;
  • Kolovorot or garden drill;
  • electrodes;
  • Drills for metal;
  • Building level;
  • Sand and cement;
  • Metal paint.

Among the tools we need: a grinder, a welding machine, a hammer drill or an electric drill, galvanized self-tapping screws and a screwdriver.

Step # 2 - site selection and ground preparation

The main condition for choosing a place for arranging a gazebo is for the owners and guests to feel cozy and comfortable here, admiring the most beautiful views in their summer cottage.

Any place for arranging a gazebo on the site can be chosen: under the canopy of trees in the garden, near a pond or not far from the entrance to the house

Thinking over the design of the gazebo, you need to decide for yourself whether it will be an open, ventilated or closed design, with or without lighting. To visualize the project and determine the dimensions of the future structure, it is desirable to make a drawing of the building. The drawing, made to scale, will allow you to correctly calculate the required number of pipes for installing the main frame, and additional screeds of a smaller section for arranging the roof and cross members.

Determining the dimensions of the doorway:

  • the height is calculated based on the average human height (1.8-2.0 meters);
  • the width of the opening is approximately equal to the standard size of the door to the apartment (0.9-1.0 meters).

The site chosen for the arrangement of the gazebo is cleared of debris and tree roots.

From the site cleared of debris and plant remains, we remove the fertile layer of soil, which we use for pouring into flower beds and leveling differences in the area

Having cleared the site and removed a 15-20 cm layer of earth, we fill the bottom of the formed "pit" with a 5-8 cm layer of sand, pour it with water and carefully tamp it down. On a sand base, you can simply lay out paving stones or paving slabs, or you can build a concrete platform. To do this, we form a formwork from the boards, fixing it with pegs driven into the ground along the outside. We fill the site with concrete and leave it to dry completely for several days.

When arranging a site with an area of ​​​​more than two square meters, it is necessary to provide temperature shrinkage joints. To do this, we install the formwork boards, maintaining an interval of 1 meter, and fill the space with cement mortar. After the concrete has hardened, we remove the boards, and fill the cracks and voids with a liquid solution.

Step #3 - Installing the support legs

After completing the work on arranging the floor, we set marks along the perimeter of the site where we will place the supporting pillars. The number of racks should correspond to the number of corners of the gazebo.

For the erection of support posts in the intended places, using a brace or a garden drill, we dig holes about 80 centimeters deep

It is desirable to deepen the support posts below the freezing level of the soil, which is from 80 -100 cm. We fill the bottom of the dug holes with a layer of sand and gravel mixture. We install metal poles in the center of the holes. Using a level, we determine their verticality, and then fill the voids with cement mortar.

Another option for erecting racks is also possible, in which a columnar foundation is installed in the designated places at a depth below the freezing level of the soil - concrete columns with mortgages. Metal poles-supports will be welded to these mortgages.

After installing the vertical racks, horizontal crossbars can be welded to them, in the role of which metal pipes or rods can act

The veins are placed in two rows, the width between which is 1.2-1.5 meters. Sheathing (boards, lining, polycarbonate) will be attached to them in the future.

The metal structure can be assembled both with the help of self-tapping screws and bolts, and by welding. The choice depends only on whether the owner knows how to work with a welding machine or whether he has the opportunity to invite an experienced welder. The main advantage of a bolted connection is the possibility of dismantling the structure for the winter. But at the same time, do not forget that during the operation of the structure, the bolted connections will have to be constantly tightened.

Step #4 - arranging the hexagonal roof of the structure

So that the water flowing from the roof does not flood the structure, we place the transverse logs so that they come out 50 cm from each end.

To equip the correct eight- or hexagonal roof, we weld the transverse beams to the support posts, placing them at a distance of two meters from each other

We weld the logs to the metal crossbars, and then, guided by the level, we apply and fix the rafters

The easiest option for arranging a roof is sheathing with polycarbonate sheets. To do this, we make holes in the metal rafters for attaching the roofing material. In order to correctly set the first sheet of the roof, we lay two sheets, calculate them and set the desired angle and offset. After that, we remove the first sheet, and fix the second one on the screws. We fasten all the sheets of the roof in turn, to stiffen them, fastening them together through two waves.

Video examples of the construction of other structures

Example #1:

Example #2:

The gazebo is almost ready. It remains to attach the side panels and paint the metal elements of the frame. You can paint the finished structure by applying a powder coating. A good result is also given by the traditional version of painting, in which a layer of soil is first applied to the surface, and then paint for metal.

Many owners of dachas or country houses, sooner or later, decide to build a gazebo. Such structures are built from a variety of materials, including wood, brick, etc. However, a metal gazebo for a summer house with their own hands is becoming more and more popular, which is more than realistic to make.

What explains the choice of metal as the main building material, because, as you know, the same wood is much simpler in terms of machining? The fact is that a gazebo made of metal for a summer house with your own hands, built using the appropriate technology, has a number of advantages, with a complete absence of shortcomings.

Such structures are characterized by:

  • strength and resistance to mechanical stress;
  • high maintainability;
  • long operational resource;
  • attractive and solid appearance;
  • compatibility with the exterior of various buildings (that is, such a design will look equally advantageous both near a small cottage and next to a comfortable cottage);
  • reasonable price, in comparison with the stationary constructions of gazebos made of brick or glued laminated timber and grooved boards.

So, not every summer resident is able to purchase a ready-made gazebo, assembled using high-quality metal rolling. Therefore, we will consider what is the instruction for the independent manufacture of structures from metal pipes. Let's say right away that such work is quite within the power of any person who has a small set of plumbing tools.

Features of self-construction of structures from rolled metal

Before you start building with your own hands, you need to stock up on the appropriate materials and tools.

You will need:

  • metal pipes of square and rectangular section;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • components for the preparation of concrete;
  • angle grinder angle grinder (grinder);
  • welding machine;
  • a screwdriver with the function of an electric drill and a set of drills for metal;
  • water or laser level
  • plumb;
  • square;
  • roulette;
  • shovel and bayonet shovel;
  • accessories for the preparation of concrete.

Like any construction, do-it-yourself summerhouses made of metal are made, starting with the development of the project and the preparation of estimates. A simple drawing of a country gazebo can be sketched on paper on your own, indicate the appropriate dimensions and calculate how many materials are needed.

If the independent development of the project makes it difficult for you, the drawings can be found on our portal.

Do-it-yourself metal gazebo construction is a complex work that includes the following steps:

  • search for a place for installation;
  • marking and cutting of material;
  • frame assembly;
  • installation of structural and decorative elements;
  • anti-corrosion treatment of the finished structure.

Choosing a place for construction

A do-it-yourself gazebo in a summer cottage made of metal is built on dense, leveled ground. For this reason, we mark the perimeter of the future structure on the site and identify all the irregularities.

Identified irregularities are eliminated with a bayonet shovel. In addition, the soil throughout the site is carefully rammed. For these purposes, a home-made rammer is ideal, made from trimming a log up to 1.5 m long with a handle attached to the upper end.

Marking and cutting material

There is a common expression: measure seven times - cut one. This is just about what we have to do. You need to carefully read the dimensions given in the project. After that, it remains to measure the design dimensions on the pipes.

Important: When working with angle grinders, you must follow the safety rules.
That is, you need to work in protective gloves, glasses and, if possible, in a respirator.

We lay out the cut pipes separately - we lay the elements of the main frame in a separate pile, and lay the scraps in another pile, which will go for racks of runs and screeds.

Important: To save money, the pipe section can be reduced in the direction from the main frame to the roof frame.
That is, it is advisable to use the thickest pipes in the lower part of the gazebo, in the middle of the pipe of medium thickness, etc.

Assembly of the main frame

The assembly of the gazebo frame begins with the installation of vertical racks, which will bear the main load.

  • Along the perimeter of the gazebo, we mark the installation sites for the supports and dig holes 1 meter deep. To simplify the work, you can use a hand drill.
  • After the pits are dug, we cover the end of the pipes of the main frame with bituminous mastic and set it in place, securing it with props.
  • Next, we prepare a cement-sand mortar at the rate of 3 parts of cement to 6 parts of sand. To save money, 4 parts of fine gravel can be added to the resulting solution. The mixture is thoroughly mixed in a concrete mixer until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.

Important: In the absence of a concrete mixer, concrete can be prepared in a trough, mixing with a shovel or garden hoe.

  • Ready concrete is poured into the pits in which the pipes are installed. It is necessary to fill up the solution just above the ground level. In order to prevent the solution from spreading on the sides, a ring-shaped formwork is made around the pits from improvised means.

  • After about two days, the supports from the supports can be removed and the installation of other structural elements can begin.
  • In the upper part of the supports, we weld horizontal arcs that connect the parallel supports. On this, the manufacture of the main frame can be considered complete.

Important: Before proceeding with the installation of secondary fasteners, you need to make sure that the main frame is welded firmly enough and firmly held to its base.

  • After the main frame is made and you are convinced that it is strong enough, we proceed to the installation of fasteners for the roof. As a rule, these elements are corners and plates that are welded at the attachment points of the roofing material.
  • Next, in the fasteners, drill holes for self-tapping screws.

  • Then, we lay the roofing material, for example, a polycarbonate sheet and fasten it with self-tapping screws. If desired, polycarbonate can also be used to decorate the side walls.

Important: To save money, gazebo furniture can also be assembled and welded from pipes and finished with boards.

Features of welding work

The quality of welding is largely determined by the type of welding machine, the type of electrodes used, the composition and grade of steel, the shape of pipes, etc.

As a rule, the assembly of country arbors is carried out using an inverter-type welding machine. The connection of pipes during the assembly of the frame is carried out "in the corner" and "in the Taurus". The success of welding work largely depends on the preparation of the ends of the pipes.

Before starting welding, you will need to do the following preparatory work:

  • cleaning pipes from dirt, debris and oxides;
  • trimming or straightening ends with deformation;
  • edge cleaning, as well as cleaning the outer and inner surfaces adjacent to the edge to a width of at least 1 cm.

Joints are welded up to full welding without interruption. Given the small thickness of the walls of square pipes, we cook in one layer.

Prefabricated metal hozblok, sheds for giving TM "Greenstorage"

A metal utility block or a metal shed is assembled from profiles and sheets of metal on site manually and without the use of special mechanisms. The frame of the metal hozblok is assembled from galvanized profiles. The walls and roof of the metal shed are assembled from sheets of deeply corrugated steel.

Our quick-assembly sheds, utility blocks of the Russian brand Greenstorage are assembled on a pre-prepared flat and level site. The base can be a wooden platform or evenly laid paving slabs. It is desirable that the base be rigid in the plane in order to avoid deformation of the frame, and as a result, difficult closing of the doors in the future. Precision parts - fast assembly. Therefore, we pay great attention to the observance of the exact geometry of parts in their manufacture.

General and technical characteristics of products such as: a shed to the country house, a utility block to the country house TM "Greenstorage"

Profiles of the floor frame, walls and ceiling are made of 0.45 mm thick galvanized steel. Walls and roofing with a thickness of 0.28 mm are assembled from deeply profiled galvanized and painted with several layers in a hot solution of steel sheet. This ensures the durability of the product. The product does not require additional repairs or additional painting during the entire service life. We provide a wide range of models and colors. 10 year anti-rust guarantee.

Important!

Aluminum floors

Aluminum floors in barns, which you may see in the photographs of our products, are an additional option and are available for individual orders.

This is due to the fact that when completing a metal hozblok with a stainless metal floor (additional galvanized frame and U-shaped aluminum sheets), the weight of the product increases many times, which requires additional packing space, and, accordingly, the final cost of the entire product increases significantly.

To assemble and install a metal shed (metal utility block), a base or foundation is required.

We offer one of the options. It is usually used when buying a barn without a metal floor.

  1. We make the base frame from a bar treated with an antiseptic. The allowable size of the beam in the section is width (40 ÷ 60) mm, height (100 ÷ 120) mm, length = length of the utility block + 10 cm.
  2. We assemble the frame by connecting the parts with metal corners.
  3. Having chosen the installation site of the metal shed, we remove the vegetable soil, 12-15 cm longer and wider than the size of the utility block.
  4. We install the support blocks at the points of “dressing” of the frame of the base of the utility block, 5-10 cm above the ground level in a horizontal plane.
  5. We fill the entire area with crushed stone to the height of the supporting blocks and install the frame on the blocks.
  6. We lay plywood or OSB (thickness not less than 12 mm) sheet on the frame and fix it around the perimeter to the timber and to the transverse logs of the timber frame.

The foundation is ready.

Now you can assemble on the surface of the base (base) the metal frame of the shed in accordance with the step-by-step instructions that came with the shed

About the snow load on the roof of the barn

1. The roofs of collapsible sheds have a slope less than 45 degrees.

Therefore, you need to know and remember that:

  • a roof slope that is self-clearing from snow is a roof slope with an inclination of 45 degrees or more to the horizon.
  • roofs with an angle of inclination of less than 45 degrees require periodic cleaning of snow and ice.
  • The main technical requirement for clearing the roof of snow is to prevent the height of the snow cover on the roof from exceeding 30 cm.

2. Below are excerpts from the current regulations for the cleaning of pitched roofs from snow and ice, in force on the territory of Russia, Moscow and the Moscow region.

Remember that the responsibility for compliance with the rules and regulations for cleaning pitched roofs from snow and ice always lies only with the individual or operating organization operating the product, structure.

2.12. During intensive leaf fall and snowfall, it is necessary to promptly clean the roof. Sweeping leaves and snow is safe for roofing. On a galvanized roof, snow can be thrown off with wooden shovels, leaving a layer of snow about 5 cm thick on the roof. It is strictly forbidden to use metal shovels and similar devices to clean the roof, which can damage the roofing.

2.13. If the layer of freshly fallen snow exceeds 5 cm, snow removal on a roof with a slope of less than 45 ° should be carried out on the roof section for a gable roof at a distance of up to 3 m from the edge of the eaves, and for a single slope - 4.5 m. With a snow cover thickness of more than 30 cm taking into account the density of freshly fallen snow of 0.25 g/cm3, the mass of snow cover exceeds the allowable standard, and, therefore, cleaning is necessary. Roofs with a pitch of 45° or more are self-cleaning.

Metal country arbors - designs are inexpensive, aesthetic and easy to assemble. This explains their extraordinary popularity. You can build such a structure on a suburban area in a couple of days. Of course, before that, you need to decide on its shape, size, and also choose the most suitable material for sheathing. Only after that you can start welding the frame.

Further in the article, we will deal in detail with how to correctly draft such a structure and build it with your own hands.

What are the advantages of metal gazebos

The main advantage of metal gazebos is that they can be installed absolutely on any soil, even unstable. Moreover, if desired, some varieties of such structures, unlike the same wooden ones, can be moved from place to place.

The second advantage of such structures as gazebos for summer cottages made of metal is a variety of designs and a very aesthetic appearance. Conceived, such structures have an unusually beautiful, original shape. If desired, you can choose an option that is ideally suited to the design of the site, both in classical and modern, folk and almost any other style.

Photos of metal gazebos, comfortable and beautiful:

Another advantage of metal structures is considered to be extraordinary strength and durability. The steel arbor will not be covered with a white coating of mold, like a wooden one, will not rot and will never suffer from insects. At the same time, iron structures are much cheaper than chopped and cobbled ones. Collecting them is also much easier.

Varieties of welded arbors

Garden metal arbors may differ both in the material used for the manufacture, and in shape or purpose.

Types of frames and sheathing made of iron

Photo portable and stationary design

In portable gazebos, the supports are attached to the lower horizontal frame, welded from strong metal. Of course, in terms of dimensions, such prefabricated options are usually much smaller than stationary ones.

In general, a metal summer gazebo can have both a very simple design and an original exclusive one.

How to make a project

What should be the size

The scheme of fastening cellular polycarbonate to the frame on a self-tapping screw with a thermal washer

Important: You need to work with polycarbonate correctly. Since this material is able to expand with increasing air temperature, it is impossible to tighten the fasteners too much. A gap of approximately 1 mm should be left between the sheet and the head of the fastener. It is best to use special self-tapping screws with a thermal washer.

As you can see, assembling a metal gazebo is not a particularly difficult process. The main thing is to draw up the right project, accurately calculating everything. The rest is a matter of technique.

Having a personal plot or cottage, you involuntarily think about where to store the tool, any materials or garden tools. Often, when building a summer house, the first thing to do is build a toilet and prefabricated buildings. Then the construction of a residential building begins.

A very practical economical option is a metal shed. It is assembled in a matter of hours and quickly serves as an assistant in the country, regularly performing its functions.

Metal structures are quite popular for giving, this is due to the fact that it is not required to build a base - a concrete pillow. The building stands comfortably on the ground. This type of installation is inexpensive and easy to assemble. Moreover, the metal barn is durable and resistant to external influences. Sellers offer various designs, for example, a combination with a shower cabin or an attached toilet.

There are collapsible utility blocks and welded ones, the types are determined by the method of connections. So, prefabricated sheds are connected using fasteners, and if necessary, they can be dismantled and assembled elsewhere in the summer cottage. This will not affect its quality and characteristics. This type of shed is very convenient for those who have not yet decided on the location of the buildings in their country house.

Welded booths are more reliable because of their strength, and manufacturing does not require perfect accuracy. But it will be difficult to disassemble such a structure, and it is almost impossible to move it whole.

Thinking about the construction of a utility block and its location on the dacha site, it is worth considering its purpose and whether it will be combined with other buildings. Often the building is used for:

  1. Upgrading the well, as well as protecting the water in it from debris, rainwater. And if there are small children, then the building will limit their access to the water.
  2. Improvements to the appearance of the entrance to the vegetable store.
  3. Storage of garden tools, as well as equipment and machinery.
  4. Storage of outdoor furniture such as barbecue, barbecue, chairs, etc.
  5. Cover firewood, coal, sawdust, seed soil, seeds and seedlings.
  6. As a garage for motoblocks, motorcycles, storage of seasonal tires.

Choosing a building site

Having decided on the type of construction and the material of manufacture - metal or wood, you should plan a place for construction so that the barn can be comfortably used. You should also consider the presence of shelves inside the block, take into account that they do not interfere in the aisle. If the building includes a shower or toilet, then it is worth providing separate entrances.

To place the barn, it is necessary to take into account the presence of other buildings, their location, and also consider what structures will still be built. Often, they try to arrange household blocks so that they are not conspicuous, for example, behind the house. But modern sheds look so dignified that they blend wonderfully with other buildings.

It is important to consider the purpose of the building. If the structure includes a toilet or shower, then there are norms that should be taken into account when locating. These rules are spelled out in a special regulation. There are also general rules for all buildings, following which you can extend their service life. These include the fact that the hozblok should not be placed in a lowland, otherwise the accumulation of rainwater will lead to corrosion. You should not build a barn near the fence and you should pay attention to have a convenient approach, especially if it is combined with buildings such as a toilet. The site for installation must be flat and located near a residential building.

Prefabricated buildings for economy class cottages

Having bought a garden or a personal plot, the soul demands to do everything with one's own hands. It is, in fact, relaxation and satisfaction. And if not everyone decides to build a house, then putting together a wooden shed and a toilet is quite.

Do-it-yourself construction is quite profitable. Unlike the factory design, all available materials are used here, of which there are enough in the country. These are boards, plywood, iron sheets, logs, bricks. If you are smart, you can build an excellent hozblok to give.

If you bought a prefabricated structure, then by assembling it with your own hands, you can save money, but you need to understand construction at least a little. In general, the price depends on the model, material of manufacture, the size of the building and ranges from 15 to 85 thousand rubles.

The budget is considered to be the acquisition for giving a collapsible utility block made of reinforced plastic. It costs much less than an all-metal one, and the package includes a window, hinged doors, ventilation and a floor. The metal reinforced frame is able to withstand the load from the snow.

Modern plastic is resistant to ultraviolet rays and withstands temperature drops from + 80 to - 55. Manufacturers give a guarantee for such blocks for up to 30 years, while promising that it will not even need to be painted during its service life. And since it is relatively light, there are enough profiles to install, there is no need to pour cement pads, which is an additional plus in the economy version.

Hozbloki prefabricated from metal

Installation of the building should be done by two or three people, while preparing a place for the building in advance. It should be even. Made of concrete or reinforced with metal or wooden rails. For work, you must prepare the tool in advance. Most likely. you will need gloves, a stepladder, a level, a tape measure, a screwdriver or a drill, as well as screwdrivers, wrenches, screws, nuts, etc.

On average, assembly takes about four hours. Please read the attached assembly instructions first. Especially if the module also includes additional buildings, for example, a toilet, a shower, a fence for a well, a vegetable store, etc. Having assembled the structure, it is necessary to fix it to the base.


All prefabricated metal structures are a frame made of galvanized profile or pipe, as well as flat or corrugated sheets for wall cladding. Installation and dismantling are not difficult, anyone, even an unprepared person, can do this.

When buying a ready-made block, it is worth considering only the location, everything else has been thought out for you by the manufacturer. The kit even includes a base for installation on the ground.

The video shows a prefabricated barn:

The advantages of a ready-made purchased economic unit are:

  1. Transportation. The barn is packed in one box, which will fit even in a passenger car.
  2. Aesthetic look. The package includes metal siding, profiled under the tree.
  3. Corrosion protection by galvanizing and powder coating.
  4. Resistant to chemicals.
  5. Does not require additional annual painting and is easy to clean with water.
  6. Original design of sliding doors.
  7. Ventilation.

If you decide to assemble the barn yourself, then you should prepare the foundation, which can be tape or columnar, or even concrete slabs. In the latter version, the foundation can also serve as a floor. The assembly of the module begins with the installation of the frame, then the roof is erected, and at the very end the walls are sheathed.
