Most often, the owner of the site chooses building options in which various materials are combined, and their wonderful properties successfully complement each other.
How to choose the brazier?
Decide on the type of barbecue should be at the design stage of the gazebo. Often in gazebos use a portable barbecue, but built-in barbecue facilities make the building as functional as possible.
The portable brazier is convenient in that it can be removed when it is no longer needed.
Braziers made of metal can also be used as stationary
Built-in barbecues are most often massive structures that are erected from natural or building stone, metal, or a combination of these materials. Typically, the product is combined with numerous additional components, including a niche for firewood, a cutting table, a crockery, etc. A solid foundation is necessary for the construction of such a structure.
How to make a barbecue in the gazebo as safe as possible? The technologies used today allow not to use firewood for the preparation of barbecue. Braziers with stones of volcanic origin (lava) can work on electricity or natural gas. Heated stones are sources of heat for meat, while their heat transfer is 2-2.5 times higher than that provided by coal or firewood. In this case, smoke and soot are completely absent. Gas or electricity is used sparingly: only during the heating of stones. The stones will last up to 3 years, if they are heated up to 4 times a week, after which they simply change.
The size, shape and configuration of the barbecue depends entirely on the financial capabilities and imagination of its future owner. A barbecue grill is installed, as a rule, at the north or northeast wall of the gazebo. The built-in barbecue grill is certainly supplied with a smoke collector and a pipe. They can be made together with the main structure or separately.
Brazier can be a combined structure of brick and metal
BBQ must have a properly made chimney
Brazier is a complex device, which is sometimes more profitable to buy or make to order, and then install it in the gazebo.

Option # 1 - frame arbor on a column foundation
Necessary preparatory work
For the gazebo, you should choose a place near the house. This is convenient because the gazebo can be used not only for cooking barbecue and feasts with guests. In it you can just relax with comfort in the air and in the shade. But it should be remembered that the brazier will be used from time to time, which means that the gazebo needs to be installed so that smoke does not go into the house. A gazebo near the pond and surrounded by trees is a good choice.
Build a gazebo that will be pleasing to the eye. After all, it will stand for many years - so why not dream up?
You should choose the construction of the building, determine its size and the material that will be used in the process. It is better to prepare all the material and the tool in advance so that it is available and can be at hand when needed.
Step by step construction
The initial stage of work - marking the site - is most important, because it is the basis of the work performed.
To build a gazebo made of brick, which will accommodate a small company, you do not need much space
The next stage of construction is the foundation device. The size and type of foundation depends entirely on how massive the building will be. For wooden buildings, a columnar foundation is often used because it is the most economical option for lightweight buildings. The tiled foundation for heavy structures is good in that it additionally serves as a floor. The strip foundation is the optimal solution that is most often used. For its installation, trenches are excavated in the ground, into which formwork is installed, a framework of reinforcement is laid, and concrete is poured. We will show an example of a column foundation:
As the base of the building, a wooden beam is used, which will be fastened with the help of boards and screws
Then they make the floor. When the gazebo is built on hard and dry soil, the flooring can be neglected. In these cases, they simply pour gravel or leave an earthen floor. Concrete covering is covered with paving slabs or boards. In an open gazebo, it is necessary to provide for the inclination of the floor to ensure the flow of rainwater. Do not forget that the design of gazebos with barbecue should not be out of the general style of the site.
After the floor we make the walls. For the gazebo, both dense and lattice walls can be used. It all depends on in what weather conditions it is to be operated. As a rule, the load-bearing functions of the wall do not perform.
The construction of load-bearing corner structures should be given maximum attention - this is the basis of the entire building, which will have to keep the weight of the roof
Behind the walls is a roof. The most commonly used ridge or inclined shed construction. In the second case, the slope should be about 5-10 degrees. Ondulin, metal tiles or polycarbonate are often used as coating materials. A decorative gazebo can have a trellised roof, which plants will beautifully braid. But in the rain you can’t use such a building.
It is important to ensure that the snow does not push through such a roof, and that the supporting poles bear its weight
Now you can proceed to the exterior decoration. Wooden parts of the building must be impregnated with protective compounds and varnished for outdoor use. Metal structures are also protected with appropriate enamels. After this stage, construction work is completed and you can enjoy the result.
Due to the lack of photographic materials, we showed you the construction of a conventional frame structure on a columnar foundation, but even in it it is quite possible to integrate a barbecue
Option # 2 - a gazebo made of metal on a tape base
How to care for the gazebo?
A gazebo with a stove and barbecue will long delight the owners of the cottage if they receive timely care:
- an open arbor from snow and winter cold can be wrapped in stretch film, after making several ventilation holes in it;
- Autumn fallen leaves should not remain on the wooden elements of the gazebo: having become damp, they can provoke rotting of the wood;
- metal and wooden surfaces should be periodically treated with protective equipment against negative environmental influences;
- wood products may crack, so they will have to be puttied;
- all items that can be removed for the winter in the house are best taken away.
Simple tricks of care will allow the owners of the gazebo for a long time to enjoy rest and barbecue in conditions of comfort and coziness.
