Projects of gazebos with barbecue grills and a stove: arrangement features
Currently, more and more city dwellers strive to escape from the bustle of the city and move away from the noisy metropolis. Since many today do not have the opportunity to leave the city due to being tied to a workplace or for some other reason, a suburban area will become a desirable acquisition for them. It can be visited not only in sultry summers, but also in cold winters, of course, provided that the house on it will be equipped accordingly.
A device for cooking over an open fire will help to make your country vacation as comfortable as possible. and charcoal or barbecue stove. And in order to equip the territory next to this zone and make it more original, you can build a gazebo. How to equip the desired resting place in a suburban area will be discussed in this article.
Peculiarities
The stove zone in the country is not uncommon. But not only in suburban areas such relaxation zones are equipped. Residents of the private sector within the city also cannot do without them. The question in this case is only in the availability of sufficient territory for the construction of a gazebo with a barbecue located in it. Even if the land is sorely lacking, and you want to make a stove zone, you can try to build a mobile mini-barbecue. In this case, you will have the opportunity to place the hearth anywhere on the site near the house and take it with you when you go out into the countryside. In this case, the canopy will play the role of a kind of gazebo.
As for stationary objects, the best options in this case would be a real stone or brick gazebo and a stove in it. If equipped appropriately, it can serve not only for cooking on a hot stove, but also as a heating device. To keep the heat in the building as long as possible, you should not make too many windows in it. It is better that they are glazed, but with the possibility of opening. Otherwise, this construction with a stove, a gazebo can be called with great difficulty.
If it is supposed to place on the site the most open gazebo with a barbecue, then its frame can be a skeleton of beams. It can be decorated in different ways, for example, making walls of rattan (imitating it) or planting climbing plants (morning glory) around the perimeter. Since they grow quickly, the gazebo will acquire "walls" in just a month. If the owners prefer a beautiful spicy aroma to the beauty of morning glory flowers, it is recommended to choose sweet peas or hops instead.
When planting the latter, you should be careful about the fact that this plant quickly spreads throughout the territory. Therefore, you need to collect seeds on time, otherwise the whole area around in just a couple of years will be entwined with this plant. The advantage of a maximally open gazebo will be the fact that the smoke, which will inevitably form during the cooking process on an open fire, will freely escape through the open walls and roof. Therefore, vacationers under the roof will enjoy the pleasant smell of haze without the risk of burnout.
Materials (edit)
As for the choice of materials for the construction of the gazebo in which it is supposed to place the hearth, then it is worth starting from several aspects.
It is important to consider:
- on what area is it planned to place the gazebo;
- where the stove will be located (directly inside or next to the building);
- whether winter use of the gazebo is supposed to be;
- whether the foundation is provided or not.
What matters is the compliance with the style of the entire site and the harmonious inclusion in the landscape design of the territory. Many owners of even small plots are trying to acquire a gazebo. But in this case, it is not recommended to place bulky and capital structures on the territory. It is better to get a small canopy or covered fabric awning, next to which you can place a small brazier or barbecue. It can be made of either PVC or natural fabric. This will allow, if necessary, to quickly remove such a gazebo and use the site for other needs. A huge disadvantage of this option is the inability to use it in windy weather and in winter for obvious reasons.
If the backyard or summer cottage is spacious enough, then here you can give free rein to your imagination and build a stone gazebo the size of a small castle. It is important to remember that in any case, the building should look neat, not taking up more than 1/10 of the entire territory of the estate. When choosing a location for a fire source, safety should be considered first. It is clear that when in contact with a building made of flammable materials, an open fire can cause a fire, so when choosing a gazebo made of wood, you should carefully consider this point.
There are several ways to protect wood from high temperatures.
- A fire shield can be installed where it is most likely to come into contact with fire or high temperatures.
- It is allowed to use fire retardant impregnations - fire retardants, which will allow, if not completely to make the wood non-combustible, then slow down the spread of the flame for some time, thereby allowing people to evacuate from the place of fire.
- It is possible to sheathe the building inside with non-combustible material (for example, drywall). This will not completely protect the gazebo from fire, but it will not allow the flame to spread with lightning speed, as it would be if the tree is not treated or chipped with anything.
If the barbecue oven is supposed to be placed next to the gazebo, and not inside, then the owner is not limited in the choice of materials. The gazebo can be made of stone, wood, woven from a vine or, as an option of economy class, thick curtains can serve as its walls. It all depends on the tastes of the owners of the site and their financial capabilities.
Subtleties of design
Before starting construction work, it is necessary to create a project in which all the nuances of the future construction will be provided and a budget is laid down. If you neglect this step, then, most likely, the work will go down the drain or there simply will not be enough funds to bring everything that was conceived to life. To begin with, it is worth deciding which building needs to be done: summer or winter. Their design is strikingly different. Let's dwell on this issue in a little more detail.
Summer building
The gazebo is traditionally a summer room, so even beginners should not have any special problems with its design. The main thing is that it is important to accurately align all dimensions, to make a solid and reliable base that would withstand the walls of the structure and its roof. Special attention should be paid to the location of the hearth. If it is inside and is a capital structure made of brick or stone, then the foundation will need to be poured under it.
If the rest of the building is light enough (for example, wooden or made of forged rods), then it makes no sense to strengthen the ground under it.
An important point is protection from precipitation. Since the climate of the greater territory of Russia can hardly be called tropical, so as not to spoil the rest, it is necessary to provide visors in open spaces and, if possible, closing windows. Guests will appreciate this functionality when there is a strong wind or rain outside.In this case, no debris and splashes will fly onto the table, and cooked dishes will not disappear from the plates with the wind in an unknown direction.
If the fire source is located in the gazebo, in the case of closed windows, everyone present in it risks carbon monoxide poisoning. To avoid this, a chimney should be provided. If the oven is located outside the structure, make sure that it is on the leeward side. This minimizes the risk of fire spreading under rapidly moving air currents and, accordingly, fire.
Winter option
The winter gazebo is different from the summer version. It can be called a guest house with a pleasant atmosphere and cozy crackling logs on the barbecue. To make this building as safe and comfortable as possible, you need to competently think over the operation of the furnace. In this case, the fireplace should be taken as a basis, but not in the classical sense. The special device of this structure should not only perform the function of cooking over an open fire, but also be a source of heat. Another main aspect here is a well-thought-out smoke exhaust and ventilation system.
Warming
Since winters in Russia in most regions involve low subzero temperatures, you should think about insulating the gazebo. In this case, you can pay attention to several materials.
Styrofoam
This raw material is an artificial material, which is one of the cheapest for insulation. Its advantages include lightness, ease of installation and low price, and of the disadvantages - the inability to let air through and the release of substances hazardous to humans when heated.
Polyurethane foam
This insulation is an improved analog of foam. It is a safer and more modern material that does not require special maintenance. When heated, it does not burn, but melts, therefore it prevents the spread of fire. Its disadvantage is the impossibility of self-application, since this requires special equipment and certain skills. This entails an increase in cost, since you have to pay not only for the material itself, but also for the work on its installation.
Mineral wool
This raw material has several varieties that differ in characteristics and cost. Mineral wool is produced in the form of slabs and rolls. Which option to choose, each owner decides independently. Of the disadvantages of this insulation, it is possible to note the rather high cost and the need to wear protective equipment (overalls, goggles and a respirator) during installation.
Foundation
The winter version of the gazebo necessarily presupposes a foundation. The depth of its inception depends on the depth of soil freezing. If we omit this point, the entire fortress of the building will depend on the seasonal movement of the ground.
The width of the foundation should be slightly more than the thickness of the walls, so that the gazebo is reliable, there is no need to pour the walls in the basement with additional insulation.
How to equip?
After choosing a project and building a gazebo, the most interesting thing begins: its arrangement. To begin with, you should think over the style of the interior. Since the gazebo is a resting place, you do not need to load it with strict details and things that remind you of work. The computer would be completely out of place in this place. If there is a need for media to create comfort, which is quite natural for a modern person, then preference should be given to a compact stereo system or home theater, which will not take up much space.
The choice of finishes is important. The best option is to decorate the space in an eco-style. It assumes unity with nature and the absence of artificial materials. Eco-style is fully capable of complementing this feeling; it will not be difficult to arrange it with your own hands from improvised materials.
You need to pay attention to lighting. It should not be too bright, so as not to strain your eyes, but it should also allow you to see all the objects in the room. The main light source is a large chandelier. It should be placed above the table, and additional lighting elements in the form of an LED strip or spotlights should be placed around the perimeter.
Each group of lighting fixtures must be switched on separately so that, if necessary, the lighting intensity can be adjusted without problems. A large chandelier can be replaced with several small lamps made in the same style. They will look organic if you hang them in a row over a rectangular or oval elongated table.
It is preferable to choose the shade of the luminous flux so that it is close to natural light.
Textiles are another important component of arranging a gazebo with a barbecue. Since freshly prepared food is supposed to be consumed in this room, you cannot do without a tablecloth. Make sure that it matches the style of the interior. White is a universal color, but in this case it is better to replace white tablecloths with beige or greenish ones, since the presence of a nearby source of flame and, accordingly, smoke can irrevocably deprive table textiles of whiteness at one time. Darker and brighter options in this case are the best choice.
Towels are a must in the gazebo with barbecue. It is good if they completely blend in color with the tablecloth. But, of course, the texture of the material of their manufacture should be different. The tablecloth can be made of smooth cotton or viscose, in this case the towel can be terry or waffle. Be sure to pay attention to the presence of napkins. In the conditions of the gazebo, it will be quite appropriate if they are paper.
Another important aspect is decor. Flowers in clay vases, food-themed paintings, light curtains on the windows or doorway will stylishly complement the atmosphere, add coziness and special charm to this room, setting you up for a comfortable stay and raising your spirits. However, do not overdo it with the number of accessories: if there are a lot of them, it can overload the interior composition. You also need to take care of safety.
There must be a poker, a bucket of sand, a fire extinguisher near the stove.
Examples of finished buildings
- The large brown brick stove sets the tone for the whole gazebo design. It is a fundamental piece of the interior, so all other details complement it. Even a rather large table and upholstered furniture placed around it are lost against its background.
- A great option for a winter gazebo. The interior is made of wood, the walls show the beauty of natural wood. The stove, lined with natural stone, imitates a fairytale castle, thereby creating a certain atmosphere in the gazebo. Hanging puppet dolls complement the magic in the air.
- The presented gazebo may well replace the summer kitchen on the personal plot. Walls made of brickwork from tiles guarantee the safety of the building. The oven allows you to cook on charcoal, like on a charcoal grill, as well as a stove. Excellent functional building for a wonderful stay.
