If you decide to build a gazebo on your country site, then, of course, you need to decide on the type of design. Moreover, it follows not only the shape and size of the structure, but also the type of support pillars, as this is one of the main elements of the structure. For example, a gazebo with metal pillars will differ in appearance and operational qualities, from the same in size and form of structure, but with metal racks.

Types of pillars
All supports that are used in the construction of arbors can be divided into several types, depending on the materials from which they are made:- Metal supports (as a rule, pipes are used for these purposes);
- Wooden (usually a bar or logs);
- Lowned from brick or other building material.
How to make the right choice
The support poles are chosen from a wide variety of considerations, but the main thing that needs to be taken into account is a common structure of the structure. Moreover, you need to be guided by not so much like the construction style, how much the overall concept of landscape design, which can consist of various forms. These include garden paths, bridges and other elements that decorate the site.
For example, if it was actively used when the site was actively used or a plate, then you can use it during the construction of the arbor. If the design will have a brazier, lined with some unusual brick, then you can build up from the brick of the same type. If the preference in all the preference was given to the tree, then the racks can be made of wood.
Brick gazebo
Brick
When erecting brick columns, it should be borne in mind that they must be tied to the foundation using fittings. Moreover, the bricklayers extremely rarely fulfill this procedure on their own initiative, convincing the customer that it is for nothing.

In fact, the durable connection between the foundation and the rack is necessary. Best of all, when the end-to-end reinforcement of the supports. To do this, you can use thick reinforcement, a small-sized pipe or a metal rod.
The reinforcing metal should be concreted during the fulfillment of the foundation. After that, it is placed by brick or other building material in the process of building racks. If the racks are made sufficiently large, then the concrete solution is needed inside the support. So you will get a strong and reliable structure.
Metal gazebo from profile pipes
Metal
Most often, conventional round tubes of diameters from 80 mm and more are used to build construction on metal supports. The exact dimensions depend on the overall size of the structure and the characteristics of the roof.
Recently, profiled (square or rectangular) pipes are becoming increasingly popular, as they differ in greater strength. Such supports, when building the construction, as a rule, plunge into the soil and concreted.
Arbor from Bruus
Wooden
The only condition for the use of wooden supports is their processing of protective composition, which will prevent rotting, the occurrence of fungus and other negative processes. When the design is erected on wooden supports, the timing is most often used 100x100 mm.Manufacturing a gazebo
Disagreeing the existing types of columns and their features, now consider how to build a gazebo on the basis of certain supports.
In order not to repeat, I must say that, regardless of which the material will be built, work always begins with earthworks:
- Removing the upper layers of soil with roots;
- Performing markup;
- Construction of the foundation.
The difference will be only in the type of foundation, which is used for a particular design.

On brick columns
Instructions for the construction of a brick gazeboo looks like this:
- First of all, it is necessary to prepare the pit for the foundation of at least a meter depth. Then the reinforcement is stacked in the pita, formwork is performed and concrete is poured, while the reinforcement should be installed to bind future racks to the foundation.
- After the foundation freezes, you can proceed to the execution of masonry. To do this, you can use construction or facing brick. For bonding bricks should be used cement mortar.

As a rule, the lower part of the structure is laid out skylight, to the height of meter-one and a half, after which brick racks are erected. For the structure with the brazier, one wall is laid solid to the roof itself, near which the roaster is located.
- After the construction of the racks, it is necessary to put the beams that can be attached using anchors, and perform a rafter system. As materials you can use a wooden bar and boards. As a rule, such structures are covered with metal tile, slate or other roofing materials. The roof can be one-two- or four-page
Tip! When erecting brick supports, you can use brick of different colors. This will give the construction of sophistication and greater decorativeness.
A gazebo on brick columns is very durable and durable, however, has two drawbacks - a relatively high price of construction and a long construction process.
Metal box frame
On metal supports
If the design is erected on metal supports, the procedure for performing work is as follows:
- First of all, it is necessary to dig a pits for the racks to the depth higher than the level of primerization of the soil.
- Then the racks are installed in the trenches.
- The next step is the fill with trenches concrete. At the same time it is necessary to check the verticality of the racks using a construction level or a plumb.
- After the concrete is frozen, you need to perform lower and upper strapping. Planks need to be located at such a level so that they do not interfere with the free passage in the gazebo. For large buildings, you need to tear the struts to each rack.
- After executing the frame, according to the project, you must perform a rafter system. To do this, you can use a thin profile pipe.
- The construction of the design can be made from polymeric materials, metal structures or a wooden grid, any roofing material will suit the roof.
Tip! The optimal cross section of the profile tube used as a support is 80x80 mm.

Wooden gazebo
Despite the fact that the wooden design is much easier than the buildings discussed above, it also needs a reliable basis. Therefore, a column foundation is usually used for such structures as mentioned above. In addition, if you set the construction of the ground, then in a few years the tree will start rot.
The work is performed as follows:
- First of all, pits are performed for the foundation. Their depth depends on the type of soil and the level of its freezing. On average, the depth is 60 cm.
It is advisable for the foundation to use asbestos-cement pipes, as they are durable and have good strength characteristics. You can also install reinforcement rods and pour them with concrete.
- Then the waterproofing material is placed on the poles, most often the runneroid is used for these purposes.
- The next step is the block of the foundation of the 100x100 mm bar, which will perform the function of the base.
- Next, the installation of the supports that can be made from BRUSEV. There are several methods for installing wooden columns, one of them - attach them to the bottom with anchors.
- Then the strapping of the racks of the timber.
- You should fill the boards on the lags and thus perform the floor.
- In accordance with the project project, the roof is collected and installed on the rack.
- At the end of work, you can make a wooden grille and railings.

Output
Not only the appearance of the design and the design features, but also such moments, as the cost and durability of the structure, depends on the choice of supports for the arbor. Therefore, at the design stage of the arbor, it is necessary to think well what pillars will be the most optimal in your particular case.
