Dome gazebo – decorating Your backyard

The gazebo is one of the most important attributes of country life, allowing without reference to weather conditions to relax in the fresh air. The choice of construct depends on the financial possibilities, personal preferences and needs, and from the General style of existing buildings. A gazebo should be the ornament of the court or, at least, to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding space and not to create discord. Square, rectangular, round, oval such structures is no surprise, but the dome of the gazebo are less common, their advantages while which assessed a relatively narrow range of vacationers.

Istokov the basis of a spherical dome structure (geocool) is the icosahedron, a three – dimensional icosahedron, consisting of equilateral triangles. Since this geometrical figure is only vaguely reminiscent of a sphere, its "round" by increasing the number of edges – each edge is divided in half and the resulting points are connected. Instead of the original equilateral triangle formed four small, due to which get a figure more close to the sphere. Geocool differ exactly by the frequency partitioning of the sphere into triangles (V) depend on the parameters of the resulting structures. Although in the construction industry actively uses five types of geekopolis (frequency of splitting), the private sector is relevant for two frequencies:

  • 2V – so the hemisphere, it is usually used in the construction of houses, setting not on the Foundation, and the "glass" – vertical retaining wall with a height of 1-2 meters, which supports a spherical dome.
  • 3V – it turns out part of the sphere (5/8), mounted directly on the base – the "running" option for gazebos, greenhouses, nursery houses.
Geocool is the same karkasnyi, sheathed in the future, any material, depending on intended use, whether it's fabric awning or plate varieties.Spherical designs now, if not at the peak of popularity, but close to it, so to buy a gazebo is not difficult in the profile of the company. Another thing is that the cost of such acquisition surpasses reasonable limits – for an arbor with a diameter of about 6 meters can ask the district two hundred thousand. If we roll up our sleeves and collect geocool yourself – the component costs will be, but in acceptable amounts. And staying in a cozy dome in a circle of family and friends and all, priceless. Portal user Good Denтак did, once again proving that if you want your own hands can make even such an original recreation area.

Build dome gazeboThe dome design is universal – the load is evenly distributed between the ribs, so there is no need in highly durable materials: this can be wood, metal profile, PVC pipe. Good Den stopped at the tree, the diameter of the sphere is 6 meters – given that the walls are almost not take the useful area, that is enough for home get-togethers.

For connection details, there is a special fastener metal connectors in the form of stars, but because they cost too noticeable in an ordinary shop not to find, enterprising fans of the spheres invented the technology of Good Karma. Themselves the triangles are assembled on the screws (you can glue the joints, will not become worse), and between them the segments are fixed with bolts in certain places. Even with the increase in the number of triangles, the scope for this technology cheaper, but you must clearly meet all the dimensions and angles of frames – if the connectors allow for some error and debugging, when the bolt connection is fraught with trouble.

The default chose Gud Karma, as the optimal way – given that one connector would cost about a thousand, it makes sense to spend more wood, time to be more attentive to details and to save a decent amount.

Test Assembly of the hexagon showed that the angles and dimensions of the segments in order, it all fits without bias, and time costs are less than expected – work goes. It was originally planned green roof, but the difficulty arose with bias – how to fix the turf and prevent slipping, and the cost – issue price exceeded the budget. Therefore, as a result, the quality of plating the selected OSB and roof.

After installation, the triangles started to assemble the dome on the ground. Snow is not a hindrance – given the ease of construction, it may be arranged in any cause – low-depth tape, combined piled-raft Foundation, concrete slab, Playground, lined with natural stone or paving slabs. There are lots of options, Good Den while there were generally no base – set design on wooden lining. But to extend the life of the tree, he not only treated with a protective and decorative means – is the basis to choose a more durable and reliable.

After assembling the main frame around the roof part of the gathered "skirt" – it will divert water from the perimeter, protecting the wooden walls. The bonus turned out to increase the decorative structure is a gazebo in the "skirt" looks much more attractive.

The next step was to cut the triangles OSP, sheathed the roof with piping and a lower part of the sphere. The middle is intentionally left without lining, so the gazebo was flushed by the wind, and turned into the tent.

 

The frame is covered with impregnated color soft tile, the bottom perimeter of the plates painted in yellow – all together looks natural and can be a decoration of any area. In the future, the author plans to sheathe the walls on the inside (in the zone of contact with people) lining, and roofing system to hang fabric to not to bother with the quilting and finishing materials. Gender remained excavation, which allowed the center folded table-hearth, the heat which warms when cold. Despite the outdoor perimeter, the warm air from the fire forms a veil, and the smoke going under the dome, and cause no inconvenience to vacationers.

This way their hands can make a beautiful and functional dome gazebo, to the delight of myself and the household, using special tools and expensive materials. Using this experience as a base, really customized construct to suit your needs and ideas about beauty and practicality – go for it. published
