The simplest option available to every gardener is a lightweight gazebo without a foundation, which can be built in one day using special tools. For its manufacture, you can use wood, metal or polycarbonate. The choice of material depends on the general design of your site, financial capabilities and the purpose of the structure.
For construction arbors made of wood almost any timber can be used. Such a structure most often does not have a foundation, and its basis is bricks, small concrete blocks or paving slabs. They must be evenly distributed around the perimeter of the future gazebo.
Metal constructions with forged elements are able to give the site elegance, sophistication and create an effect of lightness. In general, such gazebos are quite strong and reliable, but they have a number of disadvantages.
The metal corrodes over time, and keeping a structure in good condition is always quite problematic and costly.
Polycarbonate. This material is gaining popularity among gardeners who want to create a spectacular and stylish place to relax on their site. In work, polycarbonate is quite lightweight and maneuverable, but such a structure will not last long. This is due to the limited service life of the material: it dries out under the influence of direct sunlight and cracks.
