Gazebos with barbecue grills: choosing models with a stove

There is no doubt that portable barbecues will always have an advantage due to their compactness and lightness. In addition, they are not tied to a specific place and do not differ in high cost. However, it is unlikely that such devices can replace the warmth and comfort of a full-fledged stove, which has become the unconditional pride of the owners and the decoration of any summer cottage. In addition, the choice and construction of the gazebo itself is also not an easy task. This article will help you find answers to questions about choosing the type of structure, material for its manufacture, style and place for construction.

One of the most important reasons for choosing a gazebo with an oven is the ability to comfortably cook food over an open fire, thereby obtaining a unique aroma. Moreover, the flight of fantasy may not end with banal meat. It can be other dishes as well: soups, smoked meats, vegetables. This minimizes the distance between the barbecue and the feast.

And do not forget that such a structure is a good reason not to worry that all plans will collapse due to bad weather.

Before building a gazebo with a stove, it is important to familiarize yourself with some of the nuances:

• It is very important to calculate the exact parameters of the building, since in addition to the fact that the oven itself will occupy a rather large area, it is necessary to leave free space around it, thereby providing not only space for furniture, but also thinking ahead of the number of people that will be accommodated in it.
• Be sure to take into account safety precautions by carefully selecting safe materials for construction.
• Do not forget about the weather conditions. The canopy of the gazebo should also protect from slanting rain.

• The foundation must be located above the water level.
• The distance from the stove to combustible materials is from three meters.
• And finally, the size of the oven itself should be determined by the functions that the owner prefers.

Arbors can be conditionally divided into the following types:

• Open (summer) gazebo for those who come to the dacha only during the planting and harvest season. These are the so-called awnings and rotundas that do not provide for the presence of walls. They are considered the easiest to build and do not require specific skills. Designed for favorable weather conditions and do not need communications. The most basic option with a foundation and a roof on supports.

• Semi-closed building for those who are still dependent on weather conditions. This is the most popular version of a gazebo for arranging a summer cottage. These include classic wooden structures and forged structures. Also, glass walls and a suspended ceiling will become salvation from windy weather and private precipitation. Although they are often limited to simply the presence of curtains.

• Closed (winter) gazebo designed for all-season recreation. Unlike an open one, there must be walls, communications and furniture. These are full-fledged houses with windows, doors, a kitchen area and a place to relax.Materials for construction can be used in a variety of ways, from ordinary bricks to ready-made frame structures. Particular attention should be paid to the reliability of the foundation.

By classifying the gazebos according to the functional purpose of the stove, buildings can be divided into three types.

More precisely, with a mini oven. This facility allows you to cook not only kebabs or grilled vegetables, but also to make porridge or pancakes. It is worth noting that the construction of such a gazebo is quite difficult and needs specialist guidance.

A distinctive feature of such a device is the way of cooking food - the use of skewers for meat or vegetables. Here, among the options are both mobile portable structures and stationary models, most often installed against the far wall. Such ovens are erected from bricks.

Unlike the barbecue, here the process of cooking products does not take place on skewers, but on the grates, which makes this option convenient, since you do not need to waste time on planting meat. However, it is much more difficult to clean the grate. Brick also serves as a material for a stationary furnace.

When choosing a gazebo with a barbecue, barbecue grills, it is important to consider the following factors:

• open or closed gazebo - if the building is closed, supply ventilation is required;
• materials of construction;
• placement of points of fire;
• a mandatory hole or, even better, a hood in the roof;
• free space near the barbecue and barbecue at least 3 m.

This is the most suitable option for closed gazebos, in which you can stay in winter.

Positive features:

• durability and reliability;
• unconditional decoration of the entire site;
• functionality (can be used as an oven, smokehouse, barbecue);
• the warmth of the fireplace will warm you in any weather.

However, among all the advantages, there are also negative sides:

• not portability;
• high construction costs (in addition, it is advisable to contact a professional);
• construction takes a long time;
• needs a lot of wood fuel;
• smokiness.

First of all, the cauldron in the gazebo is associated with fragrant pilaf. In this case, the stove itself is built in the form of a rectangle with a hole on top, into which a round cup is inserted - a cauldron, and a small door on the side for firewood or other fuel.

Products cooked in such an oven are famous for their special taste and aroma. The characteristic feature of the unusual jug-like shape is the wide bottom and tapering towards the neck. The advantage is that the meat in the tandoor does not need to be fanned and turned over, it is hung on skewers and fried equally from all sides. It is mandatory to build a small podium in the gazebo for the oven, which will also serve as the bottom.

Includes oven, grill and stove. Such a device will allow you to completely transfer the cooking process from a stuffy kitchen and cook almost any dish in the fresh air. For construction, it requires contacting specialists.

Among the entire assortment of material for the future gazebo, it is necessary to navigate based on what time of the year it is planned to use it. Most often, owners prefer open gazebos for lower costs. Consider the basic materials for the construction of a recreation area.

It is considered the most environmentally friendly and flexible material in terms of processing. And what could look more harmonious in the suburban exterior? Despite the fact that wooden gazebos are quite light, a foundation is required, which is also needed for installing a stationary oven.

Among the wood materials used:

• timber;
• logs;
• boards;
• reiki.

Cons of such buildings:

• high susceptibility to moisture, fire and pests;
• regular treatment of the structure with antiseptics, varnishes and impregnations;
• a brazier or barbecue in such a gazebo is fire hazardous.

A significant advantage of these materials is their reliability and durability and, importantly, fire safety. Such buildings do not require any specific maintenance and will last a long time. And the stone gives the site a pompous look.

For such a gazebo, you can use:

• granite or marble (resistant to many conditions, but very expensive material);
• sandstone (has an advantage due to its low cost and many shades);
• boulder stone or quarry (often used for a foundation, have a rounded shape);
• artificial stone (one of the most economical options, since the material is almost indistinguishable from natural stone).

The undoubted plus of such a structure is its high strength, no winds are definitely not afraid of it. In addition, such a gazebo can be installed without a foundation. However, do not forget that it all depends on the design. Heavy gazebos still need an asphalt base.

And you can't do without processing here, too, since the metal is susceptible to corrosion.

The combination of materials in the construction of a gazebo is also commonly used, which looks very harmonious.

You can combine:

• wood material;
• stone;
• bricks;
• metal;
• waste material.

Nowadays, many enterprises are engaged in the construction of gazebos. They provide construction and design services for all types of gazebos on a turnkey basis. A short 2-3 weeks, and the construction is ready. In addition to an individual project, it is possible to choose a ready-made version from the catalog of already completed works.

When choosing a company, you should pay attention to the provision of a guarantee and the ability to work without prepayment.

In addition to the direct construction of various gazebos, many firms provide services for equipping them:

• barbecue ovens;
• barbecues;
• grills;
• fireplaces;
• ovens, etc.

The choice of ordering a turnkey design is the simplest, which cannot be said about savings.

However, you can still find a truly beautiful, high quality and reliable product for a small fee. Some companies provide decent economy class options.

Such a budget design is a canopy on beams and thin railings.

Low cost due to:

• the absence of the obligatory pouring of the base, you can use wooden blocks or piles instead;
• ease of transportation and the possibility of dismantling;
• the uncomplicated assembly, which allows you to install the gazebo yourself, will save up to 25% of the cost;
• the possibility of choosing the "no floor" service, which will reduce the price of the gazebo by 15-20%, because such a structure can be installed directly on the lawn or on a site covered with rubble.

The economy version of the design "without a floor" can be purchased from 55 thousand, with a floor - from 61 thousand rubles. It should be borne in mind that the declared features of the low price do not affect the quality in any way.

First of all, you should decide where exactly the gazebo will be located.

Definitely, each owner has his own opinion on this matter. If the main purpose of the building is to create an atmosphere of tranquility, it is better to "lose" the gazebo in a secluded part of the garden.And if this is a meeting place for noisy companies for a barbecue, then the best location is not far from the house so that the hostess does not have to run far. However, in order to avoid such situations, the gazebo can be equipped in advance with all the necessary kitchen utensils, water and electricity can be supplied.

It is important to consider not only the appearance of the gazebo in the exterior of the garden, but also what landscape will open from windows or openings, thereby creating a close relationship between guests and nature.

An important question is where to install a barbecue in the house. It is often advised to install it near the north or north-east wall. It should be remembered that the oven must be protected from the effects of the wind.

Getting started building a gazebo, check out the types of foundation:

• The most common is columnar. The depth of such a foundation is close to 90 cm, and the columns themselves will be at a height of 20-30 cm from the ground. A couple of bricks are placed on the crushed stone, then cement mortar and another pair perpendicularly.
• If the foundation of the gazebo is laid together with the pile foundation of the house, then screw piles are a suitable option.
• The option of bored piles is dispensed with without extra costs.
• One of the most difficult is considered to be a shallow strip foundation, the depth of which is no more than 40 cm.
• The most durable is a monolithic concrete slab. The high price is justified by its durability.

After the foundation is ready, you can proceed to the next stage. The floor is poured with concrete, and the proposed place for the barbecue oven is covered with a metal plate.

The floor covering must be made of non-flammable materials, as the ejected coal can cause a fire. If the wooden floor is an old dream, then it is advisable to cover the area around the stove with sheet metal.

The sequence of laying bricks for a gazebo furnace is shown in the figure. The first rows fill the entire space of the barbecue, the next ones form the space for firewood. After the base of the oven, a frying opening is laid out, the height of which is usually seven bricks.

The “highlight” of the stove can be a side firebox, the door of which at the same time regulates the air flow. A variety of decorative finishing elements will add originality to the stove.

As mentioned above, a chimney is a must in a gazebo with a barbecue. It is carried out with circular masonry and lined with metal from the inside. The upper part of the barbecue is hidden by a special overlap, preventing precipitation from entering the fire. The use of acrylic lacquer on brickwork will save you if it is not possible to cover the chimney with a roof.

The final stage of construction is the installation of the roof. Experts advise using a pine log truss system with a rectangular cross-section. A layer of the selected roofing material is laid on top.

Among the variety of options for making a gazebo, you can choose the most suitable one. It is much more pleasant to be in the gazebo, which is beautifully decorated not only externally, but also inside. Below we list the most popular stylistic directions.

This architectural style originated in the mountainous south of France and spread rapidly throughout the world.

Distinctive features of such gazebos:

• good quality of construction, coziness and comfort;
• wide overhang of the roof (it can protrude more than a meter);
• the slope of the roof is not only aesthetic, but also practical (thermal insulation due to the accumulation of snow);
• the width of the cornices;

• restraint in the interior decor (hunting trophies or wreaths of grass and flowers are possible);
• the main colors are natural stone and wood (if you still want bright colors, red, terracotta, orange will be a great addition);
• exclusively wooden floors and beams (and they are not painted);
• the floors are made of untreated wood or stone.

Such buildings in themselves are distinguished by laconism, correctness and restraint of lines.

Peculiarities:

• clear proportional hex or quadrangular base;
• simple roof;
• among materials: marble, wood, stone;
• pastel natural colors;
• in the interior decor - wood grates, forged elements;
• fresh flowers not only around the perimeter of the gazebo, but also inside.

The most common for suburban areas is the Japanese-Chinese direction.

Specific traits:

• maximum merging with nature;
• priority is given to placement by the reservoir;
• thematic decor both in the design of the room itself and in the plantings around the gazebo;
• the elevation of the structure against the background of the entire site;

• exclusively natural materials such as stone, bamboo, reed;
• multi-tiered cover with corners rounded to the top;
• basic colors - pastel, water lily shade, light birch, rice paper, sakura in color;
• minimalism and freedom in design;
• curtains to create the effect of personal space;
• the practicality of the furniture.

The contrast of the design ideas of the gazebos of the present time is rather motley.

They are distinguished by:

• combination of materials - it can be plastic, glass, metal or wood at the same time;
• clear brevity and lack of intricacy;
• the colors are very diverse.

Of course, the most common version of a country house is Provence style.

This unique style highlights:

• archaic and measured design;
• spaciousness and dimensions of the building;
• ease of decoration;

• restoration furniture (it can be wicker or wood, with carving);
• light shades, specially inaccurately applied;
• many decor items (vases, paintings, sets).
