Installing a solid plate
For a solid concrete slab foundation, it is necessary to remove the soil layer over the entire area allocated for the future structure. It is advisable to add 300-400 mm on the sides for greater structural stability. Such an installation will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the foundation and will prevent corrosion and decay of materials.
After the pit is ready with a depth of 300-400 mm, fill the entire area with sand. The next layer is crushed stone. Then we install the reinforcement and formwork, rising above the ground by 150-200 mm. Pour concrete, making sure it is evenly distributed over the entire surface.
Gazebo with barbecue: where and how to build?
Before thinking about in which part of the site to place the structure, it is better to determine what kind of gazebo with a brazier with your own hands will be. There are projects that involve braziers located separately, at a small distance, in others, stationary stoves are located in the building itself. Both options have a right to exist.
When choosing, you must remember that the "companion" of any brazier is acrid smoke, which can cause discomfort and discontent among people in the neighboring area. It is for this reason that the gazebo in which the stove will be built should be far from home: both from one's own and from someone else's. Otherwise, an "internecine war" may flare up.
However, a building with a brazier, at the same time, should not be too far from the residential building. The hosts who receive the "army" of guests will have to constantly "ply" between objects: carry food, dishes, knives, forks and spoons, cutting boards, and other "delights of everyday life."
When the choice fell on an open or semi-open gazebo, they pay attention to the fact that reliable fences from the north guarantee protection from gusts of cold winds. Removable walls, blackout curtains - alternatives that will be a chance to hide behind walls in bad weather
It is also better to install a stationary barbecue in a building from the cold, north side. Laying should be done according to all the rules. The chimney of the brazier must guarantee good draft, therefore consultation with the stove-operator before starting work is still desirable.
It is not recommended to build stoves of all types near buildings made of flammable materials, near electrical wires or gas pipelines. Garages, wooden buildings are not the best neighbors for such structures.
Peculiarities
Before starting the construction of any building in the country with your own hands, you need to draw up a plan. It is better to arrange the gazebo in such a way that its entrance is located opposite the door of the house - this way it will be more convenient to take out and bring in dishes and food. Too close to the house or neighboring area is undesirable due to smoke and noise, which may not be pleasant to others. However, it is also not worth placing the gazebo far from home - additional furniture may be required for the celebration, which will be inconvenient to drag over long distances.
After deciding on the location and size of the canopy, we proceed directly to the construction. It is necessary to prepare in advance all the drawings, on which it is recommended to indicate the smallest details of the building, including dimensions. Even before the start of construction, it is worth carefully considering how the steps for the construction of the structure will look like step by step - this will help not to lose sight of anything.
Self-construction of a gazebo
The first step, anticipating the construction with your own hands, is the choice of location. As a rule, this structure is located near the house, but this also takes into account the fact that smoke can get into it. If your site is equipped with a pond or trees, then such a place is the best fit for building a brick or wooden gazebo with a barbecue.
Having decided on the place, we turn to the foundation project that can withstand the weight of the structure. Before construction, a project diagram is drawn up, which allows you to calculate the cost of time and money. The type of foundation differs into tape and columnar. The first type is used as the basis for capital structures, for example, made of stone or brick, and the second serves as the basis for light ones - made of wood or metal.
Before you start building a gazebo with a barbecue, decide on your own needs. What kind of structure should it be?
- In the gazebo there is a small brazier, table and chairs.
- Closed gazebos with barbecue, the photos of which are presented below, are suitable for year-round visits. The open summer version is built without walls, it can be used only in the warm season.
- A capital structure divided into cooking zones and a refectory.
Preparation of materials and tools
To build a brick gazebo for the project, you need to select building materials. Their set directly depends on the choice of the type of gazebo. A great way to find the right version of the gazebo is a photo. Looking through the photos, of which there are many on the Internet and in construction magazines, you can decide which option is right for you.
An important point is the preparation of the tool for construction. What do you need?
- shovel;
- milling cutter;
- jigsaw;
- hammer;
- chisel;
- grinder.
For more complex manipulations, you will need:
- welding machine;
- planing machine;
- Bulgarian;
- concrete mixer.
Gazebo with barbecue photo
Since this article discusses only high-quality brick garden gazebos, then further we will not talk about portable or forged stationary structures. Let's dwell on the brick structures, the photos of which are presented below. They will serve you for many years without problems. The difference from metal ones is that brick buildings do not corrode, do not burn out, and also due to the high temperature coming from hot stones, food becomes much tastier.
Nuances during construction
- in order to avoid soot and smoke, a chimney zone is needed;
- the brazier must be protected with a roof, if you do without it, it is better to cover it with acrylic varnish;
- if you want to use the grill for mass cooking, then you will need a blower, which will create a more intense firewood burning;
- the firebox along the width of the skewers will be just what you need, it is not worth making wider;
- masonry needs a refractory mixture and chamotte-type clay or special compounds that can withstand high temperatures;
- Soak the brick for five minutes before cutting - this will greatly simplify the task.
A garden gazebo with a brick barbecue is a great way to relax outdoors. In any weather, even in the rain, you can cook your favorite fish or meat. In addition, this structure will perfectly complement your garden plot in whatever style it may be, see the photo. At a low cost, you will get a place to relax, as well as a summer kitchen. You can hardly deny yourself such a cozy and productive pleasure as a gazebo with a barbecue.
How to build it yourself?
When creating a gazebo project, you should decide on several points:
Where will the facility be located? It can be allocated a picturesque place in the garden or placed next to the house.
It is important that the smoke from the chimney does not enter the living quarters. It is better to place the winter version of the design next to the building - it is easier to carry out communications this way.
What type of building is chosen (open, closed, semi-closed).
What material will the room be made of (wood, metal, brick).
What size to build a gazebo.
What kind of oven and grill are planned.
A traditional gazebo is built with a size of 3x3 m, rectangular can be much larger. In addition to the kitchen, there is a dining area in the building, which includes a table and chairs, and a sofa is also possible in the relaxation area. In some gazebos, water supply is supplied, a sink is installed. All this should be taken into account when making design calculations.
To make the rest comfortable, the height of the gazebo is planned to be more than two meters, also 2 sq. m area is calculated for each visitor. When drawing up a drawing, all elements inside the structure are indicated.
When planning a vacation spot, you should not only take into account the practical component, but also pay attention to how it will be combined with the landscape. A large building in a small garden will visually reduce the site, and a small gazebo will be lost against the background of a large area
We make a brazier
The simplest grill is a portable one made of sheet iron. You can make it yourself or to order. This option is perfect for placement in a finished gazebo.
It is advisable to install a stationary brick brazier before laying floors and erecting walls.
A small brazier can be laid out without using a cement-sand mortar. To do this, first we put refractory bricks tightly to each other. Then we make sides on the sides, placing the bricks either flat or sideways. Such a model is convenient in that it is easy to disassemble and assemble, increase or decrease the height, it is easily cleaned of ash.
A separate foundation will need to be made for the oven. Laying the bricks should be done immediately after the concrete has completely hardened, preferably at the same time as the walls of the gazebo are erected. The chimney of such a barbecue can become an additional support column. A sheet of iron is laid flush with the floor, then an ash pan and a firebox are made. Thick sheets of metal are suitable for the firebox.
For information on how to build a gazebo with your own hands, see the next video.
Arbor made of brick or stone
A stone gazebo requires a lot of effort, time and money during the construction, but it does not require additional costs for annual processing, and the service life of such a structure is several times higher than others.
After the construction of the strip foundation, we lay the waterproofing. Now we begin to erect pillars or walls of brickwork. There are many options here. For an open gazebo, it will be enough to install the pillars, leading them under the roof. Someone would prefer to completely lay out one wall from the side of the barbecue and the cutting table.
A closed gazebo can look like a complete home.
Choosing a construction site
When housing is a place of permanent residence, it is more profitable to build a gazebo with a barbecue inside. Their varieties are very common, so it is easy to choose the most suitable option that will harmoniously fit into the landscape design. In the version with closed openings, it is possible to connect heating devices when the air temperature drops, which increases the frequency of using the gazebo in the cold season. The location of the gazebo on the site should be thought out to the smallest detail. The view from the windows to the road or vacant lots is not the best option.
It is necessary to investigate the land ownership or its plan. The proximity to living quarters and communications gives a huge advantage. The distance from the planned barbecue area with a barbecue to the house cannot be less than 8 meters in accordance with fire safety rules. It is worth considering in advance the location in relation to neighboring plots, so as not to cause discomfort to their residents. A large gazebo should be erected on a sunny place of ownership, small buildings look better in the shade of trees. The approaches to the future structure must be cleared of obstacles, paths must be laid.
Hearth
There are two types of barbecue designs: portable and built-in. When choosing a suitable model for a gazebo, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances and individual wishes. Each type of construction has certain characteristics. The advantage of portable models is practicality and portability.This type of barbecue can be very easily transferred to any place.
Built-in designs have many more benefits. Among others, the multifunctionality of such models, practicality and reliability should be noted. In addition, built-in barbecues, as a rule, are additionally equipped with various shelves, countertops, a convenient niche for storing firewood, and so on. Installation of a built-in barbecue structure implies the construction of a solid and reliable foundation.
It should also be noted that many modern models of barbecues are made using new technologies and operate exclusively on gas or electricity. Thanks to such innovations, traditional firewood and coal fade into the background. The structures of gas and electric barbecues are equipped with special stones of volcanic origin. The stones are heated with gas or electricity. The advantage of such models is the absence of smoke and soot.
Helpful hints and tips
Having built the gazebo, you need to make it cozy, thinking through everything to the smallest detail.
Here are some tips for creating complete comfort:
- in the gazebo, it is better to separate the kitchen area from the dining area with a bar counter so that guests and the owner at the stove can see each other;
- the firebox should be comfortable and close to the barbecue;
- if the grill is outside the gazebo, it is better to make a canopy over it;
- the capital structure can be supplemented with a sink and even a bathroom;
- if it is not possible to conduct a water supply to the gazebo, you can punch a well nearby;
- good multi-faceted lighting is needed;
- infrared lamps or oil heaters are suitable as heating;
- in the cold time of the day, the openings in the gazebo can be closed with PVC curtains.
Barbecue device
Before finishing the surfaces in the room, you need to install a stationary barbecue. Options can be different - from brick, stone or metal. A stone or brick brazier implies a solid foundation. A mobile grill is more suitable for a wooden gazebo. It is better to leave the installation of a brick device to an experienced craftsman. The base for the barbecue should not be less than 30 cm.
Then a double layer of brickwork is laid and a depression for solid fuels is thought out. After that, a niche is made for the place where food is prepared. Most often it is about seven rows of bricks, lined with solid masonry. After that, a chimney and a pipe are installed. A special visor-protection against precipitation must be installed on top of the pipe. A prerequisite for a gazebo with a barbecue is the presence of windows. They will help to ventilate the room from gases and smoke that appear after the combustion of coal or wood.
The portable type of barbecue is very convenient, since it can be used both in season and when traveling to nature. Such products are made of thin sheets of iron, light in weight. For quick collection, there are attachments from the sides. The negative quality of a portable barbecue is a short service life. After a year of constant use, the iron base bends and burns out. When exposed to moisture, the brazier undergoes rusting, which also shortens its service life and degrades the quality of work. It is necessary to store metal products in a dry room, and they should also be timely processed and cleaned from carbon deposits.
In addition to the barbecue itself, in a closed gazebo, you can install a stove, a smoking installation, a brazier. The choice is made on the device that best meets the needs of the residents. If the area of the premises is small, you should limit yourself to a small number of structures. The location of the storage systems for all the necessary accessories is thought out in advance. All materials used in construction and decoration must meet quality standards for cleanliness and safety, be easy to maintain, resistant to natural phenomena. The most convenient cleaning is processed metal or stone, as well as wood.
Differences in the construction of a gazebo with a barbecue from a building with a barbecue
Such differences are found in the massiveness of the buildings. BBQ gazebos are larger, as their oven is more powerful than that of the barbecue. The gazebo with barbecue is smaller due to the smaller size of the structure with skewers. The barbecue gazebo is equipped with a chimney as in the photo.
Braziers with skewers are made of thick metal, have a collapsible and stationary design. The stationary grill consists of several compartments and does not look like a rectangular box with legs. At the bottom of the structure, there is ventilation for firewood and coal, which looks like holes. The cooking compartment is located at the top.
Large barbecues are stationary structures on which you can cook meat for a large number of people.
Braziers differ from barbecues in the way they are cooked, they need skewers, see the photo. Specialists in the creation of various types of braziers claim that the meat does not differ in taste, but many gourmets disagree with them, saying that meat cooked on the grill is tastier. This is their main difference.
What project of a gazebo with a barbecue to choose?
Barbecue gazebos, the designs of which can be very different, should be, firstly, comfortable, and secondly, safe and beautiful. Photo gallery of such country structures:
When choosing options for such structures and drawing up drawings, these three factors need to be given maximum attention.
What should be the size of the structure
The size of the gazebo with barbecue and barbecue is selected taking into account several important factors:
- The number of people who will use the facility.
- The size of the yard and the house itself.

Choosing the shape of the building
The shape of a summer cottage with a barbecue can be very different:
- Rectangular. These are the simplest structures to build. A rectangular building will fit well into the design of almost any site.
- Multifaceted. It will be more difficult to build an octahedral or hexagonal structure, however, such structures look more original.
Photos of summer gazebos with barbecue. Multifaceted modern designs look original both inside and outside
Round. Usually, such gazebos for summer cottages are metal and are equipped with small portable barbecues.
Finnish gazebos with barbecue or grill, equipped with a chimney, are very interesting structures. Today, if you wish, you can buy a ready-made gazebo of such a convenient design.
Most often nowadays, wooden, brick or stone gazebos, structures made of laminated veneer lumber and metal are erected in suburban areas.

Where to put the gazebo
When choosing the location of a gazebo with a barbecue, barbecue or fireplace, you need to take into account only one important factor: the smoke from the chimney should not enter the house.
Tip: In the event that the building is closed and winter, place it closer to the house. So it is easier to bring communications to it. Open summer structures are often erected in the back of the yard.
BBQ projects
Barbecues in the gazebo are installed both portable small and stationary brick.They differ from the barbecue in that the kebabs are fried on them not on skewers, but on the grill. A portable barbecue is placed in a ready-made building - in the center or against the wall. In this case, the floor is covered with tin, and a hood is arranged above the structure itself. Large brick barbecues are erected simultaneously with the gazebo.
Ordering a complex barbecue
How to draw up a drawing of a gazebo
Of course, all the necessary drawings must be included in the design of this structure:
- Profile and frontal projections with dimensions.
- Plan.
Complex design gazebo with barbecue
- Barbecue ordering and drawing with dimensions.
- Site plan indicating the location of the gazebo.
- Sketch.
So, the project has been developed. In the event that all the rules for its preparation were followed, in the end you get such beautiful, safe and practical gazebos with a barbecue. Photo gallery:
How to build a barbecue gazebo with your own hands
The simplest is the frame structure on a columnar foundation. You will need:
- Wooden beam with a section of 100x100 mm - 5 pcs. for the base of the gazebo, 50x100 mm - for the walls and the roof frame.
- Silicate brick - for the manufacture of pillars.
- Cement-sand mortar.
- Nails, screws.
- Tools - a hacksaw for wood, a screwdriver, a shovel, an ax.
Preparatory work
It is recommended to choose a place for a gazebo closer to the main house. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the wind rose on the site so that the smoke from the barbecue does not enter the room. It is also recommended to consider the option of location surrounded by trees or near a body of water.
The marking of the site for the columnar foundation must be careful
You need to decide in advance on the size of the building, and then make a drawing. Prepare all the necessary tools and materials with a margin.
The main stages of construction of a wooden lightweight gazebo
There are standard stages of work:
Layout of the site is an important process that needs to be spent a little more time to make sure that the calculations are correct.
Foundation construction - depends on the massiveness of the structure. For a wooden gazebo, even if it has a terrace, a columnar option is suitable. The strip base is used for brick and metal buildings.
Laying the floor of the gazebo - a layer of gravel is enough for such a construction. If you stop on a concrete pavement, it is recommended to cover it with tiles.
Pay attention to the drainage of moisture in the open structure, ensuring the necessary slope of the floor.
Walling. They can be deaf or lattice.
The first ones are suitable even for winter gazebos. The walls are not load-bearing.
Roof installation. There are several options that are suitable for a barbecue gazebo: lattice, inclined single-slope (with an angle of 5-10˚) or ridge. For the latter two, polycarbonate, metal tiles or ondulin are used as a coating. The trellis option is interesting, since you can plant climbing plants next to the structure. But remember that such a roof is useless in rainy weather.
External finishing. It can be minimal. You can simply apply a protective impregnation to the wooden beam, and then varnish.

Built-in BBQ
This part of the gazebo can be made by hand or purchased ready-made. In the first case, it is necessary to prepare the following materials:
- Heat-resistant stove brick for the construction of a chimney and directly a barbecue.
- Aerated concrete block, which is suitable for the construction of a furnace bottom base, a niche for firewood.
- Cast iron grill. This material is durable, besides, it is resistant to high temperatures.
When building a barbecue made of bricks, you need to strictly follow the order
Detailed instructions for building a do-it-yourself grill oven
For self-manufacture of a stove for a barbecue gazebo, you need to perform several stages of work:
-
First you need to build a separate red brick base for the oven, reinforce it with fittings. You can use a cement-sand mortar of a grade not lower than M300.It is necessary to put waterproofing sheets on the frozen foundation.
-
For construction, you will have to use two types of bricks: heat-resistant for arranging the inside of the hearth, facing red clay for decoration outside.
- Now you need to prepare the masonry mixture. To do this, you need to mix clay and sand in a ratio of 1 to 3, dilute with water until a thick sour cream is obtained.
-
After finishing the preparatory work, you can proceed directly to the construction of the walls of the barbecue. There are two ways of laying out: in the form of the letter "P" or "E". The optimal construction height is 1 m. In a simple version, two cast-iron grates must be installed between the sides of the barbecue. On the top you can cook, on the bottom you can keep the fire going (you need to bring out the chimney above it). There should be a distance of 250 mm between them.
-
The complex configuration (in the shape of the letter "E") allows you to make two niches for firewood. In this option, the use of gas silicate blocks for the lower rows is allowed, but for the upper rows it is imperative to use exclusively refractory bricks.
It is not necessary to stop at the construction of only the barbecue. You can always expand its functionality by adding cutting surfaces.
The gazebo can have everything for a good rest, right down to the cutting surface
We build a roof
The roof in the gazebo is primarily necessary for protection from rain and the scorching sun. It can be gable, hip, dome, hip, spherical, single-pitch, gable, ridge. At the same time, it should be light and withstand the load from the snow lying on top. In the roof of the gazebo with barbecue, you should consider an additional hole for installing a chimney. Thanks to the installation of a metal umbrella over the chimney, you can cook a barbecue in any weather.
The following coatings are traditionally used as material for roof cladding:
- metal profile sheets;
- flexible shingles;
- sheet metal;
- galvanized sheets.
In a gazebo with a small area, it is better to fasten the roof details on the ground, and then install them up already assembled, but this is possible only if there is a lift. Otherwise, all work is carried out at a height.
Popular types of barbecues
Braziers for summer cottages with a roof are homemade and ready-made. Self-made ones should be built with the involvement of professionals, since this process is complex and requires compliance with a large number of important nuances.
Ready-made barbecues can be purchased by contacting a specialized store. Types of ready-made braziers:
- Electric models. They are distinguished by ease and ease of use, do not smoke the space.
- Cast iron barbecues. The service life of cast iron models is long, and they do not need special maintenance.
- Metal braziers. The most popular design option. They are lightweight, have high strength and long service life.
- Steel structures. They will cost more than metal ones, but are not susceptible to rust.
- Collapsible designs. These are mobile grills that can be stored in a box.
The glazed gazebo is a monumental, gated structure built using materials such as wood or brick. The structure has excellent visibility. It is light, as it is able to transmit the sun's rays. In appearance, the glazed gazebo resembles a free-standing building that fits perfectly into the landscape of the personal plot.
An open or closed gazebo with barbecue, barbecue and oven?
In one of the articles about photos of gazebos with a barbecue, barbecue and a stove, we have given many different options and projects for how you can build a room in a similar style. All of them are conventionally divided into two types - closed and open.
As it turned out, free space with open window openings can play a cruel joke.
Closed
Having built an open gazebo, people faced constant winds and a lack of indoor comfort.The building had to be glazed right away, which entailed additional costs - no windows were planned in the project.
As a result, everything turned out "according to the mind", and even very beautifully, but still an unpleasant moment happened.
Open
Therefore, before you build anything on your site, be sure to think over the moment with the winds. You may need advice from builders, however, such a serious factor is definitely worth clarifying, so that later the joy of building a gazebo will not pass quickly.
Barbecue selection
The type of barbecue and its type are best determined at the initial stages, before starting the design of the gazebo. Often, ordinary portable barbecues are used in gazebos, but the built-in one will be much more interesting, and the building itself will become more functional.
The built-in brazier is a huge structure made of stone, metal, or a combination of both. Often, this type of barbecue has a number of additional components - a shelf for firewood, a table for cutting meat, a niche for dishes, etc. In order to install such a structure, you need to lay a high-quality foundation.
In order to make the grill safer, you can not use wood firewood, but use stones of volcanic origin. Such a brazier can operate on both gas and electricity. Heated stones serve as an object for transferring heat, the efficiency will be twice as high as that of firewood. The advantage lies in the complete absence of smoke and the economical use of resources. The service life of such stones is 3 years or 600 warming ups.
The size of the barbecue, its shape and external data depend only on the taste of the owner and his financial potential. The barbecue brazier must be installed in the northern part of the gazebo, the built-in barbecue must have a smoke collector and a special pipe for extracting smoke.
Materials for making arbors with barbecue
If you opted for such a material as a brick for the construction of a gazebo with a barbecue, then you need to keep in mind that the construction will be capital. It is possible to build a brazier made of bricks of high quality with careful observance of all requirements. Brick is a durable material with no special maintenance requirements. A brick brazier and a gazebo are solid structures, they are not afraid of adverse natural influences.
The surest solution is to use refractory bricks for the construction of a gazebo with a barbecue. Such material will be easy to revet with decorative material in the future. A brick brazier looks impressive, it is easy to use, but requires careful adherence to all stages of installation.
Of course, it costs a lot of money to build a brick brazier and a gazebo. However, the stone structure will stand for a long period of time, looks beautiful and does not have any special requirements for maintenance.
Wooden gazebos are also in high demand. Wood is an environmentally friendly material that looks great on the garden plot, creating a cozy atmosphere. The tree is impregnated with modern means that are harmless. This structure is lightweight and does not require reinforcement or reinforcement of the foundation. Wood is cheaper than brick. With proper processing, this material can last for a long time.
When erecting gazebos, you can use both brick and wood at the same time. This structure is called combined. If you plan to build such a structure, then you need to divide the area into certain zones - for rest and for work. The work area must be solid and made of bricks. A tree is perfect for a recreation area.
Another popular type is forged barbecues for summer cottages and gazebos.Such designs at their summer cottage look elegant and noble. Only a specialist with certain skills can build such a gazebo with a barbecue, since this is a very difficult job. Professionals will make a beautiful gazebo, taking into account the wishes of the client in a short time. The cost of such a design depends on the degree of complexity of the design chosen by the customer.
How to make a barbecue in a gazebo? In order to choose a brazier and make a gazebo of a suitable design, it is necessary to carefully analyze all the available options
It is imperative that the building under construction is perfectly suited to the landscape design of the infield. It is also necessary to correctly select a garden grill for the future structure.
