Gatherings with guests, dinner with the family in the fresh air, relaxation after work in the garden and vegetable garden - an economy class summer gazebo in any of these situations will be very useful to you. It is far from always advisable to make it large-scale and roomy, in most cases a small and budget building is enough, which will delight you and your guests.
The classic dimensions of the summer gazebo
The optimal size of a small summer gazebo is 3 by 3 meters. This is enough for a family circle, and for a small group of people.
Today's problems are:
- How to build a budget summer gazebo with your own hands?
- What materials can be used to make a summer structure at the lowest cost?
- How much would such a construction cost?
This publication will consider a step-by-step process of erecting a small gazebo from a bar with dimensions of 3 by 3 meters from a photo and video. This option is one of the cheapest and most practical for construction, but if for some reason it does not suit you, at the end of the publication I will provide links to similar articles on construction.
Before proceeding with active actions, I propose to study the final result of the work and its technical characteristics.
Most budget gazebos are built on the same principle, the cost of materials is also about the same, but still I would like to focus on this - it is important to understand what and from what we are going to build.
Technical characteristics of the finished gazebo
The photo is presented to the right of the characteristics. Clicking on a photo will open it in a larger size.
End result of construction
- Material: Beam 100 by 100 mm;
- Dimensions: 3 by 3 meters;
- Foundation: columnar (made of bricks);
- Roof: single slope;
- Roof: euroslate (ondulin), but you can use a more budget option - corrugated board;
- wall cladding: oriented strand board (OSB);
- Floor: board 40 by 100 mm "magpie";
- Painting: antiseptic Senezh Ultra in 3 layers.
Materials for construction are used the simplest and cheapest. Nevertheless, they are quite enough for a reliable and strong building, which will stand for more than one year and withstand more than one hundred rains.
Foundation
For such a structure, a columnar foundation was chosen. It consists of nine brick pillars, which are the basis for the entire gazebo. The process of building the foundation is as follows:
- 9 holes are dug with a depth of 70 cm;
- The first 30 cm are covered with sand (ideally put a little crushed stone on the bottom) and compacted;
- The remaining 40 cm are covered with construction waste and poured with concrete;
- Two bricks are laid on top of the concrete (ideally, fired ceramic red);
- A layer of bitumen is applied over the bricks and, ideally, a sheet of roofing material is laid.
Finished foundation pillars
Such a foundation is extremely reliable for small buildings. A summer gazebo is an ideal building for such a foundation. Therefore, it was he who was given preference during construction.
Bottom trim
On top of the foundation, the lower harness is laid, which consists of wooden bars fastened together. The fastening of the beam to each other is carried out "in the floor of the tree." The connection must first be treated with an antiseptic or bitumen. Four self-tapping screws are screwed over the connections for reliability.
In addition to the four beams along the perimeter, one additional one is installed in the center - the so-called "lag". In the future, it will be needed to attach the floor board to the harness (more on this in the chapter on the floor).
Finished bottom harness
Poles and top trim
Poles are installed on the lower trim, which will serve as the basis for the walls and the upper trim. Four posts are installed at the corners of the gazebo, and one additional post is installed next to the entrance to the height of the railing.
The height of the front pillars is 230 cm, the height of the rear pillars is 200 cm. This is done for the further construction of the roof slope.
Fastening poles to metal corners
The upper harness consists of two beams that are installed parallel to each other on top of the pillars. The fastening is identical to the lower harness - to the floor of the tree.
Installed poles and top trim
Roof erection and roofing
The whole process will be more clearly described in the form of a phased approach:
- We fasten 9 rafters on top of the lower strapping in increments of 30 cm;
- Parallel to the rafters, we install 9 boards also in increments of 30 cm;
- If you did everything clearly according to the instructions, then you should get a roof in the form of bars;
- We lay sheets of ondulin or corrugated board on top of the roof, depending on your capabilities.
rafters
crate
The rafters are attached to the strapping on metal corners and self-tapping screws. It turns out a fairly reliable design that can withstand not only the roof, but also winter snow.
finished roof
Floor
After installing the pillars, you can start laying the floor. You will need about 30 boards 3 meters long, some of which will need to fit under the posts. The floor is fastened with self-tapping screws to the lower trim and the log in the center.
The secret to a level floor is to place the first plank evenly. If you succeeded, then the process will go more fun.
finished floor
Railings and sheathing with OSB boards
For railings, a beam with a section of 50 by 50 mm is used, which is mounted at a height convenient for people. In addition to the beam, it will be necessary to install additional supports, on which the oriented strand board will be attached in the future. All this is clearly shown in the photographs that will be presented below.
Attaching railings to corners
Finished railings
The OSB board is attached to self-tapping screws, plus they are additionally pressed down with bars in the center. This creates not only reliability, but also additional aesthetics.
Laying the first OSB boards
A few words about antiseptic and paint
The proposed version of an inexpensive gazebo turned out to be extremely beautiful and spectacular. The main secret lies in a well-chosen color, which plays in contrast between the dark and light shade of the tree.
You can use your tree protection options, but the owner of this building recommends antiseptic Senezh Ultra, which is applied to three layers. This will allow you to achieve reliable protection of the tree and a beautiful appearance.
Video
I express my deep gratitude for the submitted video to the user of the channel with the name " Vasya Vasin". It was he who prepared this video on construction, and also commented on some of the questions that he was asked in the comments.
If you have any questions, you can ask them both in the comments to his video and in our feed after publication. We can send him your questions, and then receive and write you his answer.
Photos of summer arbors
Wooden gazebo with decor for summer holidays
In one of the publications on our website, we examined in detail the variety of summer arbors made not only of wood, but also of other building materials.
You can see options with different types and designs, as well as pick up some idea for your dacha, at the link below.
Construction options for other structures
For various reasons, this construction option is not suitable for everyone. In view of this, I offer you construction instructions similar in style to writing, in which the process of building a gazebo with your own hands is also clearly and clearly chewed.
Several links are provided below.
Among the options presented, all buildings are made of wood and in a fairly budget format. Any elite building materials such as decorative plaster or wild stone are not used here.
A gazebo is an indispensable attribute of a personal plot. The Internet is replete with offers to buy ready-made drawings of gazebos for, or entrust the construction of a small architectural form to professionals. But often, for some reason, existing proposals do not meet the needs of land owners, either the size does not fit, or it does not suit, or it is simply expensive. And in itself - the process is not complicated and quite feasible with your own hands.
This article is devoted to how to draw up a plan, drawing and diagrams of gazebo nodes, depending on the purpose of the building, how to do it right, a place to relax, a kitchen, etc. And of course, we have selected for you ready-made schemes and drawings of gazebos.

Layout
The first thing to decide is where the building will stand. To do this, you will need a site plan on a scale convenient for you, which indicates: the main building (house), outbuildings (bathhouse, sheds), garden paths, trees.
Advice: It is better not to cut down perennials, they will still serve for shade and landscape design.

Carefully study the plan of the infield, taking into account the totality of circumstances, and mark on the diagram where, in your opinion, the gazebo will be most appropriate. It is better to place it in the depths of the garden, at the end of the path, between the trees. The distance from the main house is 3-5 m. If, then it is desirable to move it away from the main residential building by more than 8 m.

When drawing up a drawing, do not forget about. For optimally arranging a columnar base. The distance between the posts is 1500-2000 mm, for each vertical support. Post section 300*300, 400*400 mm. When marking the foundation scheme on the ground, add 100 mm on each side so that the base is larger than the dimensions of the building.

Functionality and dimensions - what you need to know
For comfortable outdoor recreation, which means that they should be comfortable, durable, reliable, everything should be at hand, nothing should interfere, annoy. And for this you should know some rules of ergonomics.
Typical drawing of a rectangular structure
As a rule, rectangular buildings have a two- (as in the diagram above) or a hipped roof.
Wooden gazebos, drawings of a square building with a hipped roof
Standard table width 600-800 mm, length 800 mm - for 4 people, 1200 mm - for 6 people. The convenient size of the seat of a chair or bench is 400-450 mm. Thus, the minimum width of the gazebo is 1500 (600+450+450) mm, length 1500-2000 mm.

Note: If necessary, it can be reduced, in which case it is better to opt for a small, frame canopy building, see an example in the diagram below.
Arbor scheme for a small area
The product is on a metal frame, the dimensions are schematic, the length and width of the gazebo can be changed to suit your needs
For comfortable accommodation of one person, a floor area is required - 2 m 2, therefore, the optimal size of the gazebo for a company of 4-8 people is 3 * 4 m, 4 * 4 m (12-16 m 2).

If not only a place for gatherings is planned, but also a recreation area, with, then the area of \u200b\u200bthe gazebo is calculated at the rate of 4 m 2 per 1 person.
To correctly make a drawing or a fireplace, when calculating the area. The optimal depth of a brick barbecue is 750-1000 mm (3-4 brick lengths), width - 1200 mm (10 brick widths).
Drawing of a standard brazier
In addition to the barbecue or, on the side of it, for convenience, a desktop with a width of 600-800 mm should be provided, to it, preferably, a sink - a width of 600-800 mm, and on the other side a place to store firewood, for symmetry the same distance. Based on this, the minimum length of the kitchen, including the oven, is 2400-3400 mm.
Scheme of a brazier with a working area
In front of the barbecue, it is necessary to provide a free space of 1000-1200 mm in order to move freely during cooking, and the heat does not interfere with those sitting at the table. Thus, when drawing up a drawing of a gazebo, in addition to a place for gatherings of 8-12 m 2, an additional area should be allocated for the barbecue: at least - 2400 * 1750 mm, with comfort - 3400 * 2200 mm.

Shape and design features
In addition to being and, they also differ in shape: rectangular, polyhedral, round, combined, etc.

The easiest way is to make a drawing of a rectangular gazebo, but pitfalls lie in wait here too: when transferring the diagram to the site, make sure that the angles are strictly 90 o, the diagonals are the same, or use the rule of the Egyptian triangle.
Marking the area for the gazebo
Measure 3.0 m on one side, 4.0 m on the other, connect the points in a straight line, check the geometry, if the connecting line is 5.0 m, then the angle is 90 °
Simple rules for building circuits
Drawings of multi-organ structures cause some difficulties. But let us remind you of just a few rules from the school course. So, for example, a hexagon with equal sides always consists of 6 equilateral (all sides are equal, and angles = 60 o) triangles. Or from two equal trapezoids.
A diagram of how to simply draw the base of a hexagonal gazebo
If you want to change the shape of the gazebo, for example, to enlarge some sides, then first a rectangle is drawn (in the diagram below with a green line), then its diagonals are drawn, the middle is found. From the point of intersection of the diagonals, perpendicular to the long sides of the rectangle, I set aside the same segments (yellow line in the diagram), then the points are connected. Or you can still draw 2 equal trapeziums with a common base, the height of the trapezoid should be equal to half the side of the gazebo.

To draw an octagonal gazebo, its base must also be decomposed into simple shapes, as shown in the diagram below.
2 perpendicular intersecting lines are drawn, equal to the length and width of the structure, a rectangle is built, one side of which is equal to the side of the building, the other is the width
The drawing of the gazebo is 8-sided, in the diagram it is marked in yellow how to connect the sides of the polygon
To increase the number of sides in a polygon, just draw another rectangle and connect the vertices along the path, as shown in the diagram.

In the form of a polygon, it is a little more difficult to build relatively simple rectangular buildings, but they look more original and spectacular. To make the gazebo not only functional, but also become, decorate it or choose a lighting scenario.

There is nothing more desirable than relaxing in nature after a long working week, there is nothing more pleasant than a noisy company of friends and relatives, and there is nothing more beautiful than such fun holidays.
Going to the dacha with a large company or just gathering in the garden in a narrow family circle, it seems that nothing else is needed for happiness, but there is one important detail that can make any holiday more comfortable - a comfortable seating area.
And there is nothing more comfortable than a neat and beautiful gazebo, decorated, equipped and ready to receive guests. The most important thing is that you can build such a gazebo with your own hands.
Arbor do-it-yourself made of wood
Before proceeding to the main part, you should dwell on the choice of material. The advantage of wood over stone and iron is obvious. This is a simple installation, cheaper and more affordable materials, environmental friendliness, a harmonious look - a wooden gazebo looks better surrounded by nature than an iron or stone one.
But the most important advantage is that working with wood does not require high professionalism - if you stop at a simple option - or special tools. Now you can go to the first and most important point of construction - the gazebo project.
Project preparation
Many are frightened by the question of how to build a gazebo, but if you look, there is nothing complicated or impossible in it. The gazebo can be square, hexagonal, open, closed, large or small - first of all, you should decide on these points.
They are individual depending on the purpose of the building, but it is better and easier to start with a semi-open, square or rectangular gazebo. Its size is limited only by the desire and capabilities of the site. Usually this is a 3 × 3 meter area.
The drawings of the gazebo should be carried out with great care so that, firstly, in the future, you will not make a mistake when buying material, and secondly, to get the desired result - a solid and even building. In choosing a tree, the main role, as a rule, is played by price.
The most inexpensive and common materials are pine and needles. They are great for building gazebos and are easy to work with. To make the tree last longer, it can be pre-soaked with antiseptic insecticides or a moisture-proof solution. And the most “win-win” option is, of course, to prepare the necessary tools in advance.
Site preparation
The next step is the selection and preparation of a site for construction. The place is selected individually depending on the conditions of the site. When preparing the soil, the main thing is to carefully clear the area from weeds and protruding stumps. It is better to remove the upper part of the soil so that water does not flow under the gazebo.
Now you can move on to how exactly to make a gazebo with your own hands, that is, directly proceed to construction. The main thing to remember is that with the exact observance of all points, work will only bring pleasure.
Foundation
There are several types of foundation and each builder chooses his own, depending on personal professionalism. The most common and, perhaps, the simplest and at the same time reliable of them is a columnar foundation, where cinder blocks are used as pillars.
It is necessary to dig a hole 20-30 cm deep, make a sandy base at the bottom, install a cinder block, fill it with gravel and soil, level it and carefully compact it. The number of base pillars depends on the size of the gazebo. In the corners and in the very center they are required, then every meter / one and a half.
frame
Next comes the main part of the gazebo - the frame. For its construction, as a rule, bars of 100 × 100 mm are used. At the ends of the bars of the base and the roof, L-shaped jumpers are cut out for fastening to each other. The pillars of the gazebo are screwed to the base with self-tapping screws using metal corners where provided by the design.
In order for the floor of the gazebo to turn out to be sufficiently reliable after 50-60 cm, additional transverse bars should be installed, fastening them in the same way - with corners and a jumper. And for greater strength, it is better to install one longitudinal in the middle of the structure (if the frame is square, then follow the same pattern, regardless of the sides).
For a semi-open gazebo - that is, with a small fence provided for in the future - it is better to install such a number of pillars and at such a distance that later a horizontal fence and railing can be easily attached to them, leaving only a place for entry.
Roof
To install a hipped roof, boards of 150x50 mm are required. Their length depends on the size of the gazebo. The boards are installed on the ribs in pairs from the corners of the gazebo and fastened with self-tapping screws to the upper frame of the frame.
Between themselves, the ends of the boards, sawn at the required angle, are connected in the center of the gazebo with nails and, in addition, are strengthened and pulled together with corners of a suitable shape.
In this way, a rafter system is obtained, it remains only to cover it with a board or plywood, and then with roofing material and shingles. If necessary, the roof framing can be reinforced with additional rafters. To do this, it is best to separately look at the photo of the gazebo with a tent-type roof truss and choose the appropriate option.
Floor
The floor is lined with a board about 30 mm thick and of the appropriate length, depending on the location of the additional - longitudinal and transverse base bars, screwing with self-tapping screws. It is better to use special floorboards that have a longer service life.
fencing
If this item was provided in advance, then there will be no problems with it. The height of the fence, as a rule, is 70-80 cm. The boards are screwed horizontally to the posts of the gazebo with a solid wall or with slots along the entire perimeter of the structure, leaving room for entry. From above, you can install a special bar that will replace the railing.
Painting and decorating
The most pleasant stage is when all the hard and responsible work has already been done. For painting, it is better to use special varnishes for facades and wear-resistant paints intended for outdoor use.
At this point, you can not stop at the choice of color and completely surrender to your own imagination, decorating the gazebo in accordance with your own taste and additionally equipping it with all the necessary items.
After all that has been said, you can, of course, dream of such a “zone” for a long time, with regret retreat in the face of future difficulties, but you just need to set a goal, find time, thoroughly approach the matter and after a while you will be able to please yourself and your friends with an excellent gazebo in the country or in the garden right next to the house, which at the same time will become the occasion for the holiday and the place of its holding, and for many years will meet cheerful companies in its strong and reliable walls built by one's own hands.
Photo gazebos do it yourself
In our time, it will not be difficult to find drawings of gazebos for a summer residence with dimensions and offers to purchase ready-made drawing schemes of gazebos for the construction of a small architectural masterpiece with your own hands. After all, b the arbor is an indispensable attribute of a personal plot, which will show off even with the most beautiful estate.
But if you delve into this topic, you immediately turn your attention to the fact that the ready-made offers for a variety of reasons do not meet the interests of the owners of the plots, then the sizes are not suitable, then the design is not liked, or the most common reason is expensive. Building a gazebo is not the most difficult task that you can handle on your own.
The very first step is to draw up a plan, drawing diagrams of the gazebo nodes. Another important point is how to determine the size of the future object. Depending on the purpose of the building, you need to choose the size, shape, design of the future gazebo. You also need to choose a place where your place to stay will be built.
Layout of the new building
The first step in preparing a planned project is to think carefully about where and how your yard or plot decoration will stand. For this, it is necessary to have a site plan on which are indicated: a house, outbuildings (which include a bathhouse, sheds), garden paths, trees.
Tip: It is better not to cut down trees that have been standing for many years, they will still be useful for shade and landscape design.
So, when a 3x4 gazebo is created, the drawing will be an integral part of what is planned. Here is an example photo: Fig.1.
Carefully study the site plan on which the gazebo will be built, taking into account the circumstances, and mark on the diagram where the gazebo will look best. It is better to place it in the garden or at the end of the path between several trees. The distance from the main house should be 5-7 m. If you have planned a building with a barbecue, stove or fireplace, then it is better to build it on more than 8 m of the main residential building.
Design and drawings of wooden gazebos
If you need a gazebo for giving - drawings with dimensions will facilitate everything that you have planned to do.
When creating drawings, one should not forget about the foundation. For country arbors, the best option would be a columnar base. The distance between the posts is from 1500 mm to 2000 mm, for each vertical support. When designing the foundation scheme, it is necessary to add 70-100 mm on each side so that the base is larger than the building itself (Fig. 3)
Functionality and dimensions - what you need to know
Gazebos are built primarily for outdoor recreation and this means that the gazebo must be comfortable, durable and reliable. Everything should be at hand, nothing should interfere with your rest and relaxation. And in order to achieve such a result, you need to know a few rules of ergonomics. It will be easiest to build already tested variants of typical arbors, such as a 3x3 arbor, the drawing of which can be seen in Fig. 4
Basically, a drawing of a rectangular or square gazebo has a two- or four-pitched roof as in Fig. 5
Standard table width 500-700 mm, length 700 mm - to accommodate four people, 1100 mm - for six people. And so we get, the minimum width of the gazebo is 1500mm, the length is from 1500mm to 2000mm.
Arbor scheme for a small area
For the scheme of the gazebo for a small area, a hexagonal gazebo will be used, the drawings of which are below in Fig. 6. Hexagonal arbor can be of various sizes. The dimensions of the gazebo itself completely depend on the expected number of vacationers in it, it can be either a 6x4 or 6x6 gazebo. The drawing of a 6x6 gazebo does not differ much in comparison with a 6x4 gazebo.
The classic hexagonal gazebo is designed mainly for ten people. Dimensions of elements for a hexagonal gazebo:
- Diagonal - 290 centimeters. The diagonal is the distance from one corner to the corner on the opposite side.
- Width - 250 centimeters. The width is the distance from the corner of one side to the second corner of the same side.
- Height - 220 centimeters. The height is measured from the floor itself to the top trim.
- The total height is 280 centimeters. Overall Height – Measure from the base to the ridge knot.
- The floor area should be approximately - 6.5 square meters.
- The size of the edge of the gazebo is 145 centimeters.
The hexagonal arbor can be considered as a building of the classical type. A gazebo of this type is very economical and easy to build, and besides, it is very functional. It is not difficult to build it on your own, all its elements are standard in their shape and size.
Your building will consist of the following items:
- six racks (support);
- six triangular fragments for the roof;
- hexagonal base;
- fencing in separate sections.
Due to the large number of identical and similar elements, construction speeds up the pace and is simpler.
For the construction of the frame, boards and timber are most often used. The bars must be connected with nails or self-tapping screws. In the pillars that will support the roof, in other words, the support ones, it is necessary to make special places for their fastening.
Wood (wooden boards, or OSB) can serve as a good material for the floor.
Design features
Nowadays, gazebos come in different types: open and closed, they also differ in shape: rectangular, multifaceted, round, combined, etc.
Of all the drawings, the drawing of a rectangular gazebo is the simplest, but even here some nuances await you: when transferring the diagram to the prepared site, follow the angles, they must be strictly 90 degrees, and the diagonals are the same.
The easiest way is to make a drawing diagram of a rectangular gazebo, but even here some nuances await you: when transferring the diagram to a prepared site, you need to follow the corners, they must be 90 degrees, and the diagonals are the same.
Simple rules for building circuits
Drawings of gazebos for giving with dimensions when designing on their own cause some difficulties. It is necessary to recall a few rules from school days. A hexagon with equal sides always consists of 6 triangles with equal sides. Or from two equal trapezoids.
If you want to change some details of the gazebo, for example, to increase the sides, then you first need to draw a rectangle (Fig. 8.1),
Drawings of gazebos for summer cottages from various materials
An important point is the choice of material for the gazebo. It is necessary to decide what kind and type of gazebo will be, and make the necessary drawings. Do-it-yourself summerhouse drawings for which you need can be made from the materials that will be listed below.
Drawings of arbors made of wood
Such a gazebo will be appropriate in any suburban area and will give the yard comfort, but the price of such a design is very high. Drawing of a gazebo made of wood in Fig. 9
Drawings of gazebos made of metal
A garden gazebo made of a metal structure will last for many years (both collapsible and stationary). One of the disadvantages of such gazebos is that the metal heats up in the heat and it is very problematic to be there in hot weather.
But it is also worth noting that the manufacture of an arbor based on a metal structure is easier than from a wooden one, due to the lighter materials of the arbor itself, that is, metal tubes and various rods.
The finished drawing for building a gazebo made of metal in Fig. 11.
Drawings of gazebos made of polycarbonate
An arbor made of polycarbonate has a large number of advantages over other types of arbors: a simple and easy to manufacture design, it will serve as an excellent protection against ultraviolet radiation, the material has a certain transparency, which will allow you to maintain good illumination, a wide range of colors, resistant to temperatures, withstands from -50°С to +125°С.
Brick gazebo drawing
Undoubtedly, a gazebo in the country, reproduced from brickwork, will allow you to get pleasant sensations and emotions from spending time in any weather and at various times of the year. You can see drawings for such arbors in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13
A high-quality drawing of a gazebo with dimensions is a guarantee of a beautiful and reliable design. To recreate such a garden structure from a drawing, you will need a metal corner with sections of 50 mm by 50 mm, a standard polycarbonate sheet, processed boards for making a table and benches.
First of all, you need to install and concrete four corner metal posts, weld metal corners to the posts (25 mm by 25 mm). Then you should do the following: skip a horizontal beam to the support post, weld it. The flexibility of polycarbonate will allow you to make an arched roof for your gazebo. Metal strips with a width of 40 mm to 50 mm are welded to the racks, then they should be bent in the form of an arch, as a result of which we attach longitudinal steel strips to them for better fixation of the polycarbonate structure.
The roof of the roof for the gazebo is best made from shingles. In this case, there is a need for OSB, from which the base for the roof will be made. Chipboard has a thickness of 10 mm to 12 mm, it has a good margin of safety and rigidity; a spatial frame made of wood is required for fixing. This design does not include a frame frame.
As a foundation for the floor, it is more practical to use a concrete screed reinforced with a steel mesh mesh. This will allow you to install a brazier and add fire resistance to your gazebo. When building this project for use in the winter season, it is better to give preference to a floor made of natural wood.
Each owner of a personal plot dreams of seeing a cozy gazebo for family meals and gatherings with friends in the fresh air. Having even a little experience with construction tools, it is quite possible to build such a structure without professional training.

The angle between them must be strictly observed (60 degrees).
