Arrangements made of metal and polycarbonate, wood and plastic acquire in the nearest construction market. But agree, a metal gazebo, made and installed by their own hands - this is at least a reason for pride.

Making a gazebo steppotno

Start

Any project begins with the setting of the problem. The first step towards the garden gazebo from the metal will be the choice of the place of its installation. It is necessary to estimate the direction and strength of the wind, distance or proximity from water. Find a place where the future structure will not interfere with movement in the site, and at the same time it will stand exactly where the owners and their guests will feel comfortable and comfortable.

So, the installation site was determined, now you need to know, and what kind of soil actually in the selected place. The sustainability of the structure depends on the soil.

Preparation

1. Think over the view of the future gazebo.

At this stage, it is necessary to decide on the design. If it is determined to make a metal gazebo, you need to decide on its appearance, layout (how many seats, there will be a table or brazier), it will be closed or blowing, with or without lighting.

2. Preparing layout .

Draw a future design on paper, no matter with a pencil or in modern CAD - systems, such as AutoCAD or 3D compass. The main thing - the vision of the metal gazebo will appear.

There are some subtleties that preferably take into account:

• the height of the doorway - in its definition, it is necessary to focus on the average height of a person;
• the width of the doorway is better to take the dimensions of the doorway in the apartment.

When determining the length of the blanks, remember that the length of standard rolled rental is either 6, or 12 rose meters.

After designing the linear dimensions of the blanks, multiple lengths of varietal rolled products, save some amount. In other words, if the height of the rack is exactly 3000 mm, then it will take exactly one whores to make it, and if 2900 mm, then a piece of 200 mm will remain, and to attach it to the case will be problematic.

3. Calculate the consumption of materials.

Traditionally, square or rectangular pipes are used for such structures, with a wall thickness of 2-4 mm, and such a rolling, it is 6 meters in length. A sketching study smoothly flows into calculations of materials, understanding which tools and consumables are necessary for work.

The arbor from the metal, the drawings of which it is better to do everything, can be a welded or national team, from iron or aluminum, it all depends on the abilities and opportunities of the builder. It is necessary to take into account aluminum, with all its lightness (3 times compared to steel) and corrosion resistance and durability, has one significant drawback - the price! Therefore, we are still talking about a steel rental gazebo.

4. Select the method of assembling the design.

Determine the method of assembly - welding or assembly on bolts, type of staining - powder coating or traditional primer, followed by paint application.

When choosing a assembly method, take into account your abilities and skills if the possession of the welding machine is included in their number, it will bring significant savings when building a gazebo with your own metal hands.

The prefabricated design has its advantages that it can be dismantled for the winter, in the case of using bolted compounds. Do not forget that you have to constantly tighten the bolted connections. Without this, the coating will be damaged at the point of contact of the bolt and body of rolled, and this place is the corrosion source.

We just default about the number of holes that will need to be placed, drill. With welding, everything is much simpler: welded, cleared and painted.

So, it was determined with the material, with the assembly too, now with the tool.

For gazebo, you will need:

1. Electric drill.
2. Screwdriver.
3. Angle grinder.
4. Drill.
5. Keys.
6. Bits.
7. Calipers.
8. Roulette.
9. Files.
10. Drilling machine.
11. Tees.

To carry out a welding assembly from this list, the machine, bits, caliper, but will add a welding inverter and several kilograms of electrodes.

For welding structures with a wall thickness of 2-4 mm, it is enough for a device with a working current of 200 A, even with an excess. For painting, unless the powder coating can be applied, you may need a household compressor and a sprayer, it is advisable to purchase it with the top tank.

For work, it will take place on a plot for warehousing of metal rolling, its cutting and assembly, subsequent painting. In principle, everything is ready, the material has been purchased, the tool is purchased, the drawings of parts are ready, so you can start.

According to the experience of those who independently erected such gazebos, it can be said that a purely welded structure will not cost without drilling holes and using bolted or connections by self-draws. Their number is significantly less compared with the collapsible gazebo.

Precautions when assembling metal gazebo

1. Now, probably, about the main thing about security. Take care of yourself, maybe it makes no sense to acquire a welder's suit, but when conducting welding, use tight clothes, otherwise burns are not avoided.
2. To work with corner grinding machines - "Bulgarians", we need or glasses or a mask that closes the whole face.
3. Well, of course, gloves, tarpaulin mittens.
4. A respirator and special glasses will be for coloring.
5. From the means of security, keep the fire extinguisher within reach, with which you can extinguish fire, in the zone of which can have wires under voltage.
6. When carrying out work with the use of a grinder and a welding machine, remove the garbage, paper and other flammable materials.
7. After the end of the work, 10-15 minutes, while you remove the tool, watch if there are no signs of fire.
8. Assembly and installation of the arbor is not really difficult, as it may seem at first glance, just try not to make changes to the design in the process of work, it usually makes additional costs of money and time.

Installing the arbor

1. Place the location of future walls and corners. Observe accuracy, the angles should be the same.

2. Buris holes under the pile.

3. Install and fix piles in the holes. Fill with concrete.

4. We weld "crossbars". It can be corners, rods, fittings.

5. Install the farm.

6. "We associate" the roof with jumpers.

7. Cover the roof. An awning coating is suitable as a coating. It is easily installed on a metal frame.

That's all! Happy pastime to you and your familiar in a new gazebo.
