Glazed arbors have a strong side - this is a high degree of protection against the vagaries of the weather at any time of the year. Such premises suggest increased safety of the structure, eliminate dust accumulation, damage to the situation by snowfall, rain or strong winds. They guarantee a higher degree of protection than open ones. Depending on the purpose of use and location, there are many possible installation options.
What type of glazing is convenient
If the purpose of the glazing is a room in which the owner should be comfortable in summer or spring, then the warm option is suitable. In another case, you need a cold one. It is worth considering the geographical and climatic conditions of the area with the time of year in which the gazebo is used. The year-round option involves warm glazing of the gazebo. Cold will be a great addition for summer or late spring. If seasonal winds blow in the area and there are sharp temperature drops, these factors should be taken into account. This ensures the integrity of the construction of the gazebo and the things inside.
Glazing with wooden windows
A traditional and inexpensive way to glaze arbors - wooden windows. For this, wooden frames of the required dimensions are purchased, glass is placed and fixed with glazing beads. This method is widespread, often found due to its low price and effectiveness. This is a great option for glazing for a summer residence. A successful combination of texture and color of wood recreates a cozy atmosphere, made with taste.
Wooden windows fulfill their main task, but are limited in functions. Poorly isolate the room from sound and are not completely sealed. This makes them unsuitable candidates for installation in a gazebo located in a strip with a temperate continental climate - here winter is very pronounced. Prices of finished samples are in the region of 100,000 rubles.
Glazing aluminum profile
An aluminum profile is a material for cold glazing. Raise the temperature inside the gazebo to room only using the profile does not work. There is an additional option to carry out heating or put the stove. Such a solution is suitable only for those who are willing to spend money: glazed aluminum profiles are cheaper in comparison with the euro-window, but it implies payment for insulation services. By the way, this is not necessary if the room is designed for warm seasons. Pergolas made of aluminum profile will help to realize the design ideas of panoramic and sliding windows, which looks nice and impressive.
Frameless (Finnish) glazing
Frameless, or, otherwise - frameless glazing, the controversial method of glazing the premises of the gazebo. The facade immediately catches with minimalism and aesthetics, but the presence of seams causes a low level of tightness. Therefore, the penetration of dust, snow or any other natural debris is a matter of time. This design of glass is diverse: it can be moved apart / folded with the help of a regulation system installed inside a glazed arbor.
A significant disadvantage of frameless glazing is the inability to install mosquito nets. Cold glazing involves the use of a gazebo in the warm season, just in the midst of insects, which will be a significant barrier to relaxation. An unpleasant surprise may be the price of glazing. It is approximately 13,000 rubles per sq.m. Another minus is poor insulation - the owner or guests can be seen and heard. Even with certain flaws, the appearance of the gazebo captivates many with its design.
Glazing with soft windows (PVC)
Soft windows (glazing with PVC film) is a cheap method, but convenient. There are 2 ways to carry out the work, depending on the desired result:
- An economical solution involves the purchase of a film with a meter and subsequent installation in the desired openings with fasteners. Here, the grommets (an element of fittings that look like a ring) and fasteners play this role.
- The second option offers to order individual PVC sheets according to the size of the openings. Then make the subsequent installation: the sheets are stretched to the desired size, fastened with brackets and screwed onto the screws.
The glazing of the finished gazebo will cost 2500 rubles. per square meter. This method is adaptive and convenient in practice.
Polycarbonate Glazing
The option of closing with glass is relatively new due to the growing popularity of the material itself. You can make the coating matte or transparent polycarbonate. If desired, block certain openings. Matte material is able to block the field of view. Transparent is used to better illuminate the room. A film is fused into the sheets that protects against ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. The price of 1 sq.m of polycarbonate starts from 4000 rubles.
Stained glass version
Stained-glass window - a panoramic or dimensional window, where fragments are added into one picture. It is possible to carry out an integral stained-glass window; there are a lot of ways. Stained glass glazing will make the gazebo cozy inside and out. Each person is free to choose a pattern based on their own ideas. The correct colors and pattern will fit well into the environment, will be an excellent complement to it.
Dimensions of the room and materials for construction
The dimensions of the future building can be described in several ways. Diameter, if the arbor is round, does not go beyond 5 meters. Width and length, if the project is planned in the form of a rectangle or square, typical sizes from 3 to 6 meters.
Pergolas are built from all kinds of materials. The tree is recognized as the leader. It is combined with other types of raw materials. Due to its affordability and relatively low price, the tree will become a suitable building material for construction. More often in the list of materials there is pine or spruce. The second option is stone or brick, they also claim the role of a worthwhile choice. Such arbors are stable and of high quality, their service life is estimated at 15-17 years.
Furnace Options
It was stipulated above that with cold glazing it is easy to put an oven. There are 4 to choose from:
Russian stove is a traditional way to give the atmosphere a pleasant background. It is practical in everyday life, it is laid out of brick and is stylized as an original Russian spirit, giving the room a charm. Brazier is considered a common type of oven for a gazebo. It is comfortable to cook on it, not to mention how many recipes are written specifically for him.
The barbecue oven is suitable only for outdoor gazebos, is located in the center and occupies part of the space. A widely available method, since you can make a furnace yourself. It is easy to find dishes that are cooked on the barbecue: it includes meat, fish, vegetables. A fireplace is a recognized element of comfort. It is needed to create a friendly surroundings inside the room and year-round heating. There are glazed combined arbors with barbecue grill and stove.
Decor
Glazed gazebos for summer cottages - this is a small-sized building, in need of space. You should start with the choice of shape: round, polygonal, square or rectangular. Based on the finished foundation and the proposed area, you can arrange the interior space of the room as everyone likes.
A popular way to equip an arbor in an original way is the non-standard appearance of the roof. An assortment of materials for roof slopes is available on the market, a variety of their forms or even styles, for example, Japanese.
The fundamental step for glazing a gazebo is the choice of type: cold or warm. Depending on it, all subsequent actions unfold. It is worth remembering the weather manifestations in the area and purchase the appropriate glazing material. A lot of variations, how to design and what to put inside, act as you wish.
In addition to glazing, you also need to consider what table to put in the gazebo. Usually they also make wood, but you can buy it. Calligaris table has good durability and reliability.
Types of arbors
When designing the gazebo, it is worth considering what time of year it will be used. Depending on this, the preferred option is selected.
Open arbors are most often decorated with openwork designs. A place with barbecue grill is usually located under a canopy, which allows you to hide from the rain. Half-open structures require walls, but only partially. But completely closed resemble small cozy houses where you can install a stove and spend as much time as you like on the coldest rainy or snowy days.
The forms of arbors can be very diverse. It all depends on the imagination and the ability to realize a conceived idea. The originally designed gazebo can become not only a favorite vacation spot, but also an important element of landscape design.
The easiest option is to build a rectangular structure. It can be divided into zones for cooking and relaxation. Thanks to the convenient shape of such a gazebo, it can be easily positioned anywhere: along the fence, walkways, next to other objects.
Square construction - also a good option, but most likely it is more suitable for relaxing small companies.
The most elegant option is a round arbor. Beautiful flowerbeds and trees are usually placed next to it. An appropriate interior is created inside the gazebo. Furniture of smooth forms with a round table located in the center harmoniously looks in such designs.
If you have an idea to place a stove, a dining area and places for rest in the gazebo, then the most suitable option would be a hexagonal or octagonal design.
Corner arbors are good for those cases when there is free space in the corner of the site. This design will look original, but at the same time space will be saved.
Dimensions of structures
The height of the gazebo should be at least two meters. The best option is a size of at least three square meters, which allows you to place everything you need. However, one should pay attention to the proportions of other objects located on the personal territory. Everything should look harmonious.
With large areas, you can conceive any design and design it in a certain style.
Materials for building
When choosing building materials, you need to consider what the gazebo will be designed for. If you plan to cook food on fire in this room, care must be taken that the walls can withstand the effects of steam, as well as temperature extremes. The last condition is explained by the fact that such rooms are not constantly heated, but only occasionally.
A traditional wooden gazebo looks good in the garden. Wood is resistant and durable, the main thing is to surface treatment with a special fire-fighting composition. For work, materials such as timber and boards are suitable.
You can build a stone or brick gazebo. From the same materials you can make a brazier. In such a gazebo it will be cozy and warm, it will last a long time. However, such construction will cost you dearly.
When creating a gazebo, you can combine different materials, make expressive accents. Such a design will look even more interesting. But the most original option is a glazed arbor. Panoramic glazing allows you to sit by a cozy fire and enjoy the scenery outside the window.
Varieties of gazebos
When designing and constructing the gazebo, it is important to consider whether it will be summer or year-round. An open gazebo is designed to relax in the warm season, it is made out of openwork structures and a canopy, under which you can hide from atmospheric precipitation. A half-open gazebo assumes the presence of 2-3 walls, but the closed construction looks like a small house where the stove will delight you with delicious food in the summer and its warm on cold evenings.
As for the shape of the gazebo, it can also be varied depending on the size of the plot surrounding the landscape design and the preference of the homeowner. The classic version is a rectangular design, divided into two zones: a place for cooking and a dining area or a place to relax. A square gazebo is a small structure, but a round structure is an elegant option that can be supplemented with flower beds and trees. Furniture in such a gazebo should also have a rounded shape.
An equally popular solution is the construction of a hexagonal or octagonal arbor. If there is only one free corner for the construction on the far side of the site, then you can arrange a corner gazebo there, hiding it behind weaving plants, for example, wild grapes.
As for the dimensions of the structure, the minimum height of the gazebo should be two meters. At the same time, the usable area should be at least 4 square meters, while it should be borne in mind that at least two square meters should be allocated for one vacationer in the gazebo. In general, the size of the gazebo depends on the financial capabilities of the owner of the site and the size of the territory.
Materials for construction
As for building materials, their choice depends on the purpose of the gazebo. If food is cooked here on an open fire, then the walls must withstand temperature extremes and high humidity. In this situation, the wooden arbor will be the best solution, because the wood has good resistance and strength. In addition, with proper treatment of the surface with impregnations and fire fighting mixtures, it becomes invulnerable to external factors.
No less attractive options are the construction of arbors made of stone (natural or artificial) and brick. You can lay out the stove from the same material, while the gazebo will serve for decades, pleasing with its attractive appearance. The only drawback of such a structure is the high cost of construction. A more interesting option is a combination of several building materials with correctly placed accents. A glazed gazebo is the best solution, since panoramic glazing will hide from the rain, but will allow you to enjoy the scenery.
Varieties of furnaces
Before proceeding to the design of the gazebo and the creation of its drawing, it is important to determine the type of furnace that will be used in the construction. Depending on the size of the gazebo, inside it you can equip a small brazier or a full-fledged cooking complex. A stationary brick oven may include such elements:
- Smokehouse.
- Working (cutting) surface.
- Washing.
- Stove with oven.
- Grill etc.
It is worth noting that the implementation of such an idea requires special building skills, a lot of time and effort, therefore it is better to contact a specialist who is able to take into account wishes and perform construction work, observing fire safety rules.
Barbecue oven is a traditional option for those who like to fry fish, vegetables and meat with skewers. Barbecue - a type of barbecue, where a special grill acts as a working surface. The brazier can be made small and portable, using metal for this, or laid out using brick. The original solution is to place the brazier in the center of the gazebo, installing a hood above it, so that there is no smoke in the room, and invited guests will be able to participate in the preparation of dishes.
A grill is an inexpensive and easy-to-use option, as it can be put in any convenient place or taken out of the arbor. Walking around the market, you can find a grill of various sizes and designs, so that everyone will choose the device that will suit the style of the gazebo and its interior more than others. An equally original solution is the arrangement of a fireplace, which you can enjoy not only in the summer, but also in cool autumn evenings.
You can also equip the gazebo in the Russian style, supplementing it with an appropriate stove. The design does not have to be bulky, a mini-version is enough, the main thing is to pay attention to the interior of the building, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. An alternative solution is to install a cauldron or tandoor.
Types of glazing and profile
An equally important stage before starting construction is the choice of frame and glass. Types of glazing:
- Cold is a budget option, in which the main function of the glass is noise isolation and protection from atmospheric precipitation.
- Warm - a more expensive option with good thermal insulation, it can be supplemented with an aluminum construction.
- Frameless glazing (triplex) is an all-glass design without the use of racks.
As for the glazing profiles for the gazebo, it is best to use an aluminum construction. On top of the profile, spraying can be done under steel, bronze, gold or silver, so that the gazebo will acquire a noble and luxurious appearance. In addition to glass and metal, wooden door blocks can be used here, creating tightness and good ventilation of the structure. According to the type of opening, glazed arbors are divided into three groups: folding, swivel and sliding. The latter option is the most expensive, but thanks to such glazing, the arbor can be transformed from open to closed, depending on the weather.
Glazing options
To protect yourself from insects, wind and dust, while leaving a review on the site, it is necessary to glaze the building. Windows allow you to use the gazebo at any time of the year, avoiding exposure to unacceptable weather conditions.
Before erecting a building, you must first determine the seasons of its operation: glazing for different conditions requires the use of other materials. For example, warm glass is more suitable for winter because of the ability to better maintain indoor temperature than other options.
Cold
Glazing of this type involves the operation of the gazebo in the warm seasons. This option is ideal for the summer, since it does not require significant costs. When mounting cold glazing, prefer a frame material such as aluminum. This metal practically does not require maintenance, and also does not undergo oxidation.
The strength of the aluminum frame allows glazing to last for many years, protecting the gazebo in different weather conditions. Operation of the building with such windows can be used from mid-spring to late autumn, when the air temperature exceeds + 10 ° С.
Warm
This kind of glazing arbor suggests the possibility of using buildings even in winter. The double-glazed window holds high temperature indoors that will allow you to feel comfortable even when it is frosty outside the window.
Conventionally warm glazing can be divided into two subspecies:
The first involves the use of frames made of wood materials. It has an advantage in the purchase or production costs of the structure, and also opens up the possibility of installing it with your own hands. The main drawback is the demanding care: the frames will require resin processing and compaction.
A practical option is to mount plastic windows. Such double-glazed windows serve for a long time, protecting the room from dust, rain and frost. Plastic frames can be bought in any suitable color, which will give the gazebo a unique style. A significant disadvantage of such glazing is the fragility of materials if they are exposed to extremely low temperatures.
Triplex
A distinctive feature of such a double-glazed window is layering. Two or more glasses are interconnected by a polymer film, which not only seals the structure and makes it more reliable, but also prevents fragments from flying apart from the violation of the structure. Such glazing is used in automobiles. On impact with such glass, a characteristic cobweb-like network of cracks appears.
For a gazebo with barbecue, glazing it in this way is the most acceptable option, due to the resistance of the material to high temperatures and humidity. Triplex is often used in sliding frames, which allows you to more efficiently ventilate the room while cooking a barbecue.
Preparatory work
After you have decided on the type of glazing, you need to prepare for the construction of the building. First of all, it is necessary to choose a suitable place on a summer cottage. Only after this, based on the features of the arrangement, it is necessary to create a drawing. Properly conducted preparatory work is the key to the success of the results of your work.
Seat selection
There is only one strict requirement for placing the gazebo. The structure must be located away from residential buildings for fire safety. Other decisions depend solely on the owner: for example, you can build a gazebo both in the shade and on the sunny side of the site.
If you don’t know or don’t trust your neighbors, start building as far as possible from the borders of your estate. Take care of convenience: it is better when the entrance to the room is directed towards the cottage - it is more convenient to move from building to building, doing food preparation or serving.
Dimensional drawing
The owner before building the gazebo should decide on the shape of the future design.
It could be:
- rectangle,
- hexagon,
- octagon.
The first option is the easiest to implement. It is better that the length of each side be a multiple of 1.5 or 2 m. This is due to the fact that it is at such a distance that it is necessary to place support pillars both from the point of view of the safety of the building, and on the basis of financial justification. Do not forget about the foundation: add 10 cm on each side of the drawing so that the base extends beyond the structure.
When planning hexagonal design, calculate the area so that for 1 person there is 4 m² of space. A standard arbor of this type when viewed from the side has a diagonal of 3 m and a height of 2 m.
"Octagon" represents the most spacious variation of the gazebo. For maximum convenience, 4 of the parties should have a length of 1.5 m each, and the rest - 80 cm. Such a room will allow you to place not only a table, bench and barbecue, but also a work desk and even a refrigerator.
The oven itself is also best designed in advance. The brazier must be made of heat-resistant brick, and its dimensions should fit into the overall dimensions of the arbor. For example, for an octagonal building, the width of the furnace can be 1.2 m, and the optimal depth is 75-100 cm.
Necessary tools
Since it is planned to erect a gazebo with barbecue, brick will be used as the main building material. From this we get a list of necessary tools, mainly consisting of a spatula, a sledgehammer and a level. When laying the foundation, you may need a concrete mixer. A shovel will also come in handy to prepare the site for the construction of the building.
Constructions and forms, styles of enclosed arbors
The development of a project of a glazed gazebo with barbecue for a summer residence or a plot near the house is usually done taking into account the style of design of a country house or cottage. The construction of the building often depends on the size and purpose of the gazebo. For family vacations, preference is usually given to standard projects of a rectangular shape, for small companies buildings in the form of a hexagon or octagon are suitable. Many projects use standard types of window systems with openable shutters; in more modern models, glazed space occupies all the walls from floor to ceiling.
The expressiveness of the arbours with barbecue gives and how the roof is arranged, for this are used:
- Roof made of metal,
- Natural roofing materials - clay, ceramic, cement-sand tiles,
- Tree,
- Metal,
- Bulrush, straw,
- Glazed or polycarbonate roofs.
In a glazed gazebo with barbecue, a metal roof is used.Well, for the decoration of the facade, decorative shutters, marquises can be used, compositions will be supplemented with flower pots or carved platbands.
Materials used in construction
The choice of the main building material for the construction of a glazed arbor with barbecue is determined by the project of the main building on the site. For a cottage made of logs, the best addition would be a log house made of wood, and for a house made of clinker brick - brickwork. However, today the fashion for building materials prefers non-standard solutions. Arbours with a large glazing area are very popular in Moscow, such a solution with panoramic windows fills the interior with light, visually expands the room.
It should be noted that in the construction of such buildings there is no restriction in the choice of materials and construction technologies. For finished projects can be used:
- Rounded beam,
- "Wild" timber,
- A rock,
- Red or silicate brick,
- Fake diamond,
- Foam block or gas block,
- Aluminum profile,
- Metal constructions.
An important role in the implementation of the project is played by the material of the glazing of the arbor - glass and plastic with special properties are used for construction with barbecue. The use of open flame indoors excludes the use of plexiglass and ordinary varieties of cellular polycarbonate in the project. In addition, the use of plank flooring should be performed in compliance with all fire safety rules.
Warm glazing
This method is used for summer houses with a barbecue, in which reliable thermal insulation of walls, ceilings and floors is arranged. Warm glazing involves the installation of multi-chamber double-glazed windows or window blocks. The air chambers between the glasses act as thermal insulation and do not allow the cold to penetrate into the room. True, the installation of such window structures requires the solution of insulation and walls and the door block, otherwise the high cost of materials for windows will not have a positive effect, double windows, just like with the cold method, will simply freeze.
Varieties of Glass for Arbor
For window blocks of arbors with a barbecue or with barbecue, mostly ordinary glass with a thickness of 3 or 4 mm is used. Window blocks for this type are made on wooden frames or in the form of metal-plastic structures.
For panoramic windows, window glass is more suitable. Typically, dimming varieties are selected for such projects. Transparent windows made of display glass with a thickness of 8-10 mm can be darkened with a light-protective film.
In a glazed arbor with a barbecue, glass 3 or 4 mm thick is used
Sliding structures and projects with panoramic windows use only triplex, it is a reliable and durable material that can withstand heavy loads. In addition, triplex is the safest type of glass for sliding structures - upon impact, it does not crumble and does not form fragments, since it is covered with a protective layer on the outside.
Choosing a zone for the gazebo
To place the gazebo on the site, several important points are taken into account:
- Landform features
- The location of the main buildings of the estate,
- Engineering communications already laid or being prepared for laying,
- Arrangement of trees and shrubs,
- The distance from the construction to neighboring plots and the boundaries of the plot.
When choosing a place, you should pay attention to the possibility of zoning - planting a hedge to highlight the building in a separate recreation area.
Drawings and Sketches
The development of the project will be more fruitful when creating a visual sketch of the site with the location of its main elements. On the plan or sketch, you can perform several placement options for buildings, and determine the most rational location. A visual sketch in the future will make it possible to create a plan with detailing of all elements.
A good help in developing an independent sketch and in the future plan can serve as ready-made projects of gazebos with barbecue, offered by architectural studios and bureaus.

Material Selection Criteria
When building a country pavilion or a gazebo yourself, you should give preference to those materials with which you are familiar. If possible, it is recommended to use ready-made window and door blocks. When erecting walls and roofs, it is important to correctly and accurately complete the installation of all elements, to avoid errors during the installation of load-bearing structures.
The nuances of the foundation
The construction of this type does not carry a large load, however, the construction of the foundation and its waterproofing should be treated with special care. For buildings of different types, the recommended device:
- Pile foundation for wooden arbors,
- Strip foundation for buildings of gas blocks,
- Monolithic type of foundation with grillage for stone and brick buildings.
It is recommended that the same monolithic slab be poured under a gazebo with a supporting structure of support pillars and panoramic windows made of display glass.
The foundation device must also take into account the location of the furnace, especially if it is planned to build a stone hearth with a high pipe.
Paul gazebo
For flooring, you can use several options:
- Flooded floor with marble chips,
- Paving stone floor
- Ceramic Tile
- The device is a wooden floor.
A combined floor is an excellent solution when the barbecue or barbecue area has a strong concrete floor, and the guest area uses wooden flooring.
Important points when glazing arbors
For stone buildings and structures made of timber during glazing, it is important to consider that after construction, the structure shrinks. At the same time, windows and doors installed in the structure will undergo mechanical deformation.
When installing glass on the roof, it is recommended to use elements with machined faces, and, in addition to hard fixing elements, use synthetic sealants and sealants.
The nuances of building a barbecue
For a barbecue roasting pan, usually 6-8 mm thick is chosen. But for the lid it is recommended to use a thinner one, 3-4 mm thick. For the proper preparation of dishes, it is recommended to order several types of grills - for meat and steaks, for sausages, for fish. You can complement the design with a removable skewer bracket and a stand for placing skewers. It is better to make the frypot lid removable, and to provide the frypot itself with a flat double bottom.
