Flaws:
- The tree requires regular maintenance care, otherwise it will quickly rot.

- Limited quantity finishing materials.
- Tree prone to inflammation, you need to use the barbecue carefully.
Brick gazebo
Brick allows you to build a capital structure, which no atmospheric phenomena or mechanical damage are a problem.
To construct such a building, it is necessary to build a strong foundation, otherwise cracks will appear.
In terms of material cost, the device will be more expensive than wood.
Advantages Brick gazebos:
- Flame retardant, no sparks or coals from the barbecue will cause anything, they can be removed after cooling.
- Brick buildings do not require maintenance or regular repairs, especially if the technology is followed.
- The buildings are working out durable and very durable.
- Tall resistance to all atmospheric phenomena - rain, wind, snow, and you can even set up a heated recreation area in the winter.

- Durable constructionMetal provides many decades of stability.
- The decorative appearance of the frame itself is complemented primers and other paints, What extends the life of the metal.
Flaws:
- Metal products require periodic care to protect the structure from corrosion.
- The material is conductor of temperature and electricity. When creating a gazebo, it is necessary to provide high-quality grounding and the most accurate electrical wiring. Due to high conductivity rates, such a gazebo is inconvenient to use in the cold season. To eliminate this effect, you need to spend a lot of money on insulation and the arrangement of a heated gazebo.
- For production professional skills required, you can’t create it yourself, since you need a welding machine.
Taking into account the described characteristics of the gazebos based on the materials used, it is possible approach the choice thoroughly.

Construction of a gazebo with barbecue from wood
At the first stage It is worth deciding on the optimal location for the construction of the structure.
It is desirable that the structure be close to the house, in which case it will not be difficult to go for food and tools when preparing shashlik.
A place near water or among trees is ideal, this creates a unique atmosphere.
Project selection and preparation
It is worth deciding on the size of the structure and design, as well as the materials that will be used.
Important! The barbecue will release when in use smoke, so it is necessary to take into account the location so that the smoke does not go in the direction of the structure. It is advisable to do hood, and the smoker should be raised at least to the roof of the house.
There are many possible gazebo designs:
- With open space — based only on 4, 6 or 8 columns and a roof, and there are no walls. Partially open gazebos are popular now, when one or more walls are covered with wood, and the rest are left open, providing an excellent appearance.
- Closed gazebos - they are covered with wood or glazed. This creates separate room.
- By form There are square and rectangular ones - these are the simplest. Diamond-shaped, multi-faceted and round ones are more complex types of gazebos.

Brick for the stove
It is necessary to take into account that the brick will be exposed to temperature influences, therefore it must be resistant to high temperature. Therefore, it is impossible to use hollow and sand-lime bricks, which will quickly deteriorate.
It's worth taking a closer look fireclay or red firebrickIt is important that they are full-bodied.
Both types include refractory clay and additives, in particular, fireclay chips. The technical characteristics of these types are approximately the same.
Materials for construction
All necessary materials and tools should be prepared in advance. In our case, we will need:
- beams for the base;
- boards for forming walls or timber;
- roof covering;
- brick for barbecue;
- cement, sand, you can use slag for screed;
- decorative elements;
- refractory brick for barbecue;
- hood;
- nails and screws;
- tools for mixing concrete;
- power tool - jigsaw, drill;
- roulette, level.

Construction process
- Area marking, if necessary, clear the surface.
- Formation of the foundation. The type and its size are determined. For a wooden building, a light type is sufficient, for example, on columns. This method is economical and simple. To prepare it, holes are dug depth more 50 cm and are filled with concrete or a brick column is laid out. The second popular option is tape typeA trench is dug around the perimeter of the entire building and filled with a layer of concrete. about 30 cm.
- Preparing the floor. We connect the structure on all sides and in the center using wooden beams. Then the floor is poured with concrete and tiles are laid on top. It is important to maintain a slight slope for water drainage. In general, you can do nothing, just fill it with earth.
- We are arranging the wallsThe walls can be solid or lattice, the choice depends on the temperature in the region and the purpose of use.
- We make a roof. You can make a single-pitched or ridge roof. It is only important to observe slope greater than 10°. After preparing the frame from boards, ondulin, polycarbonate or metal tiles are used. The roof can be replaced with climbing plants.
- The final stage is exterior finishing. Wooden parts, especially joints, should be protected by varnishing or using additional metal. If desired, they can be covered with facade boards.
- Necessary cook directly barbecue. It is not difficult to prepare a separate place for barbecue. You need to lay out a small area of bricks in the shape of the letter P. At a convenient height, hooks are made for the grate and several additional ones - for a sitting person and depending on height.

Selecting the type of barbecue
It is quite easy to build a barbecue, but it is worth considering that there are different types of designs. The decorative component is of greater importance, but ease of use is also a priority.
Before proceeding with construction, you need to decide:
- Which forms you need a barbecue. The easiest way is to build it in a U shape and cook the meat inside, but you can also make something similar to a fireplace, with a place to throw firewood in the front or back.
- Which one will suit? size. Depends on the expected company or family size. You can cook meat 2, 3 or even 4 times, but a person should not stand by the fire all the time.
- Where It is better to install it. If there is no special area in the gazebo, it is better to install it in a place where it will interfere the least and will be protected from the rain. It is worth considering that the smoke outlet should not be directed at the house or the feast area.
Important! The surrounding area must be protected from ignition, this is especially true for a wooden floor. In the radius around the stove, it is worth making an additional coating that is not sensitive to temperature.
Masonry
First things first the foundation is poured under the area where the barbecue will be located, but so that it is a little more than a barbecue.
In addition to the barbecue itself, an additional table and area for various tools are installed, and a separate area is set aside for storing firewood.
After preparing the foundation, the mortar is mixed again and, observing the row order, fireproof bricks are laid. The barbecue design can be open, when there is nothing except a closed stove and a small side, and also closed, when there are walls on all sides flowing into the chimney.
The laying process is similar to simple bricks. The solution is mixed and with the help of a trowel it is applied to the surface, where then brick is being installed.
How to make barbecue safe?
Near the barbecue shouldn't there are materials that are highly flammable, this also applies to gender.
It is forbidden next to the walls stack firewood. To ensure a high level of security Can install special firebox sealing system, when the oxygen supply is cut off and the fire goes out.
Smoke the fire is also quite hot, if it is directed at a tree or a house with wooden or plastic windows, a plastic facade, there is a risk of fire.
Building a gazebo with a barbecue with your own hands is easy!
Arrangement of a gazebo with a barbecue does not present any particular difficulty, and given the variety of design, the owner will be able to apply the most diverse type of decor for his summer kitchen. The described types of construction can be created independently, even without special skills.

Comments
The device of this unit must be approached very responsibly. In this place it is necessary to arrange reliable thermal insulation, preventing excessive heating of the wooden structures of the gazebo roof.
