We construct a shadow. Tips for the home master

Builder, home master

The so-called architecture of small forms is undeservedly forgotten in garden plots. For example, pergolas and trellises are light openwork structures, usually entwined with plants and forming free-standing "green" walls, gazebos or covered alleys. Organically fitting into the surrounding plantings, they create cozy corners, protected from direct sunlight.

In this issue of KDM, we want to tell readers how to make a gazebo and a veranda using a pergola - a lattice canopy.

The gazebo should be located in a quiet area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe garden plot near the house. It must be oriented so that the slats of the pergola canopy are located in the latitudinal direction (west - east), and the wall with the blinds is on the south side. In this position, the pergola will provide the highest protection from the sun's rays. In addition, it will give a beautiful carved shadow.

Before starting construction, it is necessary to carry out earthworks: level the site, place the axles and dig holes about 1 m deep for the pillars. Then the bottom of each pit is covered with gravel with a layer of 200-300 mm and pillars are installed. A cord stretched between the pegs along the outside of the poles will help to maintain the exact dimensions between them. In the ground, it is best to fill the pillars with concrete, having previously covered their underground part with bitumen to protect them from decay. Until the concrete of the foundation has completely set, the upper ends of the pillars must be temporarily fixed - nail the rails on the nails. Do not remove them later, when they begin to install the flooring. To begin with, grooves for the logs are selected at the bottom of the pillars, which are then inserted into them and nailed. The lags are placed in the direction of the axes indicated in the drawings by letters. Floor boards are laid over the lag. After that, the entire flooring along the perimeter is sheathed with a plinth board so that its upper edge coincides with the floor level.

Rice. 1. Arbor with a pergola (general view) (click to enlarge): 1 - pergola slats, 2 - bearing run, 3 - frontal board, 4 - front run, 5 - pillar, 6 - sidewall of the bench back, 7 - tsarga, 8 - folding back, 9 - seat, 10 - deck boards, 11 - logs, 12 - lower horizontal board, 13 - retaining board, 14 - plinth board, 15 - vertical blinds, 16 - upper horizontal board

Now you can proceed with the installation of the ceiling - pergola. First, girders are fixed - floor beams - between the pillars in the direction of the axes marked in the drawings with letters. They are located on both sides of the pillars and are bolted together. Bearing runs differ from facade ones in that they have sockets for attaching pergola rails. And the latter cover all the knots and form the architectural appearance of the facade of the gazebo. The slats are installed in special sockets of the bearing runs and fixed with nails with oblique slaughter. Along the edges, in the direction of the axes indicated in the drawings by numbers, all the runs are pulled together with frontal boards. It remains only to equip the interior of the gazebo - to make a bench and a wall with blinds.

Rice. 2. Pergola with pergola (facade 1-2) (click to enlarge): 1 - facade run, 2 - pillar, 3 - seat, 4 - plinth board, 5 - drawstring, 6 - sidewall of the backrest, 7 - fixing bolt, 8 - upper horizontal board, 9 - bearing run, 10 - pergola slats

Rice. 3. Pergola with pergola (facade A - B) (click to enlarge): 1 - frontal board, 2 - pergola slats, 3 - facade run, 4 - upper horizontal board, 5 - vertical blinds, 6 - lower horizontal board, 7 - retaining board, 8 - basement board, 9 - pillar

The bench is assembled from the sidewalls of the back and the side of the seat, attached to each post on both sides. Seat boards are stuffed on top of the drawers, and the back is assembled from separate shields that are hinged to the seat, forming a container door for storing small garden tools. Outside, the back is upholstered with boards.

Then a wall with blinds is made. On the horizontal bottom and top boards mark the installation locations of the vertical rails. It is convenient to do this according to templates cut out of cardboard or whatman paper. Prepared boards are nailed to the posts at the top and bottom. So that the wall does not sag under the weight of the rails, two more retaining boards are nailed under the lower horizontal board. Then, vertical slats are installed in the intended places and fixed with nails.

The gazebo is ready. It remains only to carefully clean the ends of the boards and cover the entire building with waterproof varnish. The natural color of the tree will harmonize well with the surrounding greenery of the garden.

If you decide to build a veranda attached to the house according to the same principle, then the depth of the structure should be reduced by 1200 mm so that the veranda does not dominate the facade of the building, but only gives it more expressiveness. It is a little easier to make it, since two pillars dug into the ground are enough to support one side. Another support will be the wall of the house.

Dangerous sequins 20.10.2021

Scientists from New Zealand have called for a complete ban on the use of glitter for any purpose. The researchers said that glitter could cause an environmental disaster.

The main danger lies in the fact that, in fact, sparkles are microplastic particles that extremely pollute the oceans. If you count by the piece, then they make up more than 92% of all plastic products floating in the seas and oceans.

Animals mistake them for plankton and eat them, damaging their livers and hastening the extinction of many species. In addition, the fish that swallowed the sparkle may end up on our table, the scientists emphasized.

Glitter is made from a polymer called polyethylene terephthalate, it is also used to produce, for example, bottles and other packaging, all kinds of films. In addition, the shiny layer is usually aluminum.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that sparkles absorb toxic substances. Moreover, the process of their decomposition in nature takes thousands of years.
