The design of the pool and barbecue oven is developed as a separate project by a specialized company. A concrete base is provided for the barbecue oven.

The project was implemented on the territory of an individual residential building under construction in a cottage village in Novosibirsk (2009–10)

The appearance of the facade depends not only on the chosen cladding material, but also on the competent planning of the building. Usually, a dwelling is built in a short time, trying to spend as much as possible less funds... Subsequently, it is discovered that the building lacks a room in which one could retire or meet guests in summer period... Therefore, gardeners independently attach compact glazed verandas and spacious terraces to finished house, Photo finished projects presented below. These rooms are mistakenly called dressing rooms or even a porch.

Differences between buildings

Before proceeding with the creation of a project and construction, you should learn to distinguish between permanent residence extensions that can be performed with or without a roof. There are six types, which are both built-in and attached to the house:

  • porch
  • veranda
  • terrace
  • patio
  • balcony
  • loggia

To equip a comfortable entrance zone a porch is being erected. It is usually performed with steps that allow you to climb high. installed door... Sometimes a porch is made with a visor, then the structure can resemble a veranda. However, it is worth remembering that this building is not suitable for a long stay.


The veranda is a room that can be both small and impressive in size.... It is always attached directly to the building. Usually it is foreseen in advance, and it is part of the house. Glazed from two or three sides. A roof must be installed, otherwise the building will be considered an ordinary porch. Open structures equipped with handrails. High-quality glazing allows you to increase the usable area. Usually the entrance to the veranda is not directly from the street. Provide for the presence of a porch, rarely enter through another room or corridor.

A building open on three sides is considered a terrace. Moreover, the structure can be either with a roof or without it. True, the latter option is used mainly in the southern regions. Sometimes there are terraces, half covered with a roof. Wooden decks installed around the house are also terraces.

The peculiarity of this design is the presence of its own foundation. The terrace, not adjacent to the main wall, is glazed at will on each of the four sides. You can handle the construction of the platform yourself. The base can be both rectangular and complex geometric shapes. There are common and tiered foundations. The choice depends on the wishes of the customer. The structure can be located on the street near the house and be unprotected from wind penetration.

A landscaped outdoor area in the courtyard, closed on four sides by the walls of the house, is called a patio. This building, which has a Mediterranean flavor, is often confused with a terrace, which is slightly elevated above the ground. Traditionally, patios are laid out with tiles, without wasting time on the foundation or flooring.

A suspended structure protruding beyond the wall, open on three sides, is a balcony. Such a structure is always equipped with a fence, it can be glazed. The structure, closed by walls on three sides, is considered a loggia. The fence is made only in front. There are also loggias-balconies, some of which protrude onto the facade, and the other is in the house.... Glazing is optional, the room is cold. Having received the appropriate permissions, you can combine the loggia with the room, install heating or underfloor heating.

How to build a veranda or terrace

In this article, we will consider the construction of outdoor recreation facilities that are not economic or residential facilities. When designing, take into account how much area the building will occupy and what its height will be... Having decided on the choice of a design that suits you more, you can start building a veranda or terrace.

The work can be divided into several stages:

  • laying the foundation
  • flooring
  • erection of walls, fences or racks
  • roof assembly, in the case of a terrace, may not be carried out

The foundation is laid one year before the start of the assembly of the structure. This is due to the fact that the base of the house has already settled, and a newly built light veranda or terrace may be crooked after winter. It is better to choose the same foundation as the main building. The most economical option is columnar. The racks or monolith are buried to the same depth as the foundation of the house. Wells with a depth of 1.1-1.2 are usually enough
meters.

Walling

The most popular and inexpensive construction method is wireframe. Installation begins with the bottom strapping, then the vertical posts are installed using brackets and metal corners... A frame is assembled from a bar and boards, to which the sheathing and a layer of insulation are attached from the outside. You have the opportunity to choose from several finishes:

  • siding
  • lining
  • block house
  • fake diamond

Advice. Use the same material for cladding or wall decoration as for your home. The extension must be combined with external appearance dwellings. Windows and doors are chosen the same type as on the house. With the right materials, no one will notice that the veranda has been erected after the main building.

Sometimes the frame is made of metal. Building from a solid bar will cost more, but it looks more expensive. The terrace will look advantageous if you fold a side of blocks or bricks around the edges, which can then be plastered.

Glazing

The main value of the additional extension is chic panoramic windows from which it is pleasant to admire the landscape. Therefore, it is impossible to save on glazing. The glasses are easy to break, so the use of safety polycarbonate is recommended.

A large number of windows leads to an increase in heat loss. Insulation is rarely used in construction summer buildings... Therefore, you will save on your purchase mineral wool and others thermal insulation materials. Frames are most often installed wooden, as they look aesthetically pleasing and quite reliable. The installation of double-glazed windows will insulate the room. The only drawback is that they are more expensive, besides, as mentioned above, it is not at all necessary to arrange thermal insulation.

Did you know that the technology of frameless glazing, which appeared not so long ago, is successfully used for arranging terraces and winter gardens. Now, in the cold season, you can close the terrace, which will protect it from snow load and destruction. You will be able to stay indoors even in winter.

Roof installation

If the roof of the building is covered with chic tiles, roofing material is not suitable for a veranda or terrace. The materials must be in harmony with each other. Usually on wooden frame put a light roof that will not create increased load on the structure.

Some owners suburban areas replace the roof with a pair of folding umbrellas. It is very economical and convenient if you like to sunbathe in the sun. But in Russian conditions when it rains often, it is better to take care of installing a canopy made of waterproof fabric. Plus, you don't have to clean up furniture or food from the table every time it rains.

It is interesting. Cloth canopies are rolled up using a mechanism or manually. The fabric used in the manufacture has a protective impregnation. The branded canopy will last you a year and will not fade in the sun.

Alternative to expensive construction

V last years many manufacturers have started producing prefabricated structures. The customer only has to choose the model he likes. The frame is assembled in place using screws and the most simple tools... The result is a full-fledged room or playground. Price finished product much higher. To save money, the materials remaining after construction are used for construction.

Decorative elements

An empty playground or veranda room with inappropriate furniture looks unfinished... Terraces are decorated with potted plants, hanging baskets with annuals. To the racks on which the roof is held, curtains are hung to protect from the scorching summer sun or flowing tulle. Most suitable furniture is considered to be made from rattan - natural or artificial. Forged tables with glass or mosaic tabletops look exquisite.

Price

The main reason for the popularity of terraces and verandas is economic benefits... There is no need to lay an expensive foundation, building materials are used to a minimum. But if you plan to implement the conceived project for the construction of a multi-level platform with complex roof, of course, you will have to invest a considerable amount.

Modern technologies do not stand still. In our time, it is not customary to put garden furniture directly onto the lawn. Platforms and terraces are not only functional, but also symbolize prestige, stability and high status of the owner land plot. If you decide to build a secluded corner, choose a veranda. The original spacious terrace looks stylish and becomes a great solution for a large family. Lovers of warmth and comfort who come to the country in winter may think about installing frameless glazing and buying a pair of heaters. The veranda and terrace, despite the apparent simplicity of the design, require the correct constructive solution and quality building materials therefore, turn to experienced professionals for the design and construction of these structures.

42 photos verandas and terraces to the house:

Being in nature is so much fun for most of us. Even being in the country or in a residential area (your own house), you really want to be closer to nature! I think that's why many people do different zones relaxing in your garden. There are many options for decorating recreation areas. Also, here you will find a selection of gazebos, patios, open areas rest and pergolas.

Gazebo - usually an octagonal structure with an octagonal roof that protects from the sun and rain. She usually has a built-in bench that runs along the inner perimeter of the gazebo. The gazebo usually does not have blank walls that allow you to enjoy the surrounding view of your garden. Of course, it can be either square or round.

Terrace- construction in the form of a platform with a roof on fresh air, adjacent to the wall of the house and being its continuation. Most often, the terrace does not have walls and doors, but only low railings or porticos with a free entrance. It can be compared to a balcony on the ground. The terrace is intended for inactive relaxation, conversations with friends, dinners, handicrafts and other entertainments.

Nice terraces in the photo! I wanted to rest on them ...

A playground for privacy and tranquility - this is a platform, which is an "open room", the walls of which can be decorative fabric curtains, lattices with climbing plants and bamboo screens. Rather, it is like decorating a recreation area with a pergola.

Patiopatio hidden from prying eyes. An open-air room is a great option for organizing family holidays, reception and privacy to soak up the sun and sunbathe.

Placement of the gazebo.

Much of the choice of location determines how you plan to use your gazebo. This is a gazebo garden or gathering place for warm friends and family summer days, then you can make the gazebo stand out by making it the center of attention. If, in order to relax and reflect, then you should build it in the depths of the garden - a quiet place.

Depending on the size of your plot, you can set gazebo closer to the house or place it along the way to some element of the garden, for example, If a body of water (lake, pond) is adjacent to the site, then it is more appropriate to place the gazebo on the shore of the reservoir. Aesthetics is the most important factor, when installing a gazebo for non-utilitarian use. After all, gazebos are often used as a connecting space for the entire garden. Great idea to accentuate the style of your site, which is what makes it the center of attention.

Terrace location.

Since most terraces are attached to the wall of the house (perhaps they go around the corner and are located along two walls), then it is more convenient to make a single foundation in advance for the future extension. The same applies to the roof shared with the house and the materials used. However, we often think about terrace (recreation area) when everything is built, the hozblog took its place and the vegetable garden is already spawning. It is more reasonable to have a terrace with a south-facing orientation, well warmed up by the sun. For a while summer sun and in the heat, provide for shading. These can be: roof, awning, awning, canopy, stationary or easily transformable.

Since it can be located not only on the ground, but also be raised to a sufficiently large height (sometimes it is even organized on the roof), and the walls in it are not provided, then a fence up to 1m high is installed along its edge. The lower the height above the ground, the lower the fence can be. You can hang curtains, preferably light colors... They will create shade and protect against gusts of wind.

Patio location.

Patio located between the adjoining and outbuildings. The patio outwardly resembles a closed area, but the adjoining walls of the house act as protective and enclosing supports in this version. If the site allows, you can erect not two high walls (angle). One can be equipped with a wall-mounted fountain-mask.


Access to the recreation area.

The first thing to remember is that your seating area is meant to be used, so it must be accessible so that you can reach it from any part of the garden. If you want to enjoy the sunset or drink an evening glass of wine, then you need to consider lighting along the paths to recreation area.

With a small country house role terraces a spacious veranda combined with a porch plays successfully. But even in this case, consider the possibility of a separate exit to the garden or courtyard.

View of the recreation area from the side.

Even if you don't use it that often gazebo or patio, for example, for gatherings in friendly company, all - it is still necessary that they please the eye and evoke pleasant emotions. Think about placement, let's say small tree or bush next to gazebo, to soften appearance and make it an integral part landscape design your site. Planters of flowers can be arranged on the patio.


View from the recreation area to the site.
The view from the gazebo itself (patio) also plays a big role. After all, being in it, you will be pleased to contemplate the ripples of water from the breeze on the pond or the murmur of a small waterfall, or admire your favorite flowers. It is also important and necessary, if there are children, to locate the playground nearby so that it can be viewed from the recreation area. This is a separate topic, I will devote an article to the playgrounds later.

I made a photo collection as an example. Unfortunately, you will not find photos with real recreation areas precisely in our country. Few people turn to the services of a designer, then it is understandable - means! I want to show that even without the invitation of a designer, you can arrange many of the elements in the garden yourself. For this, I select a photo and share my ideas of how any design element in the garden can look civilized and aesthetically pleasing. And it's not even about the money. At low cost, you can make a very interesting, author's element.


Ambient sounds.

It may seem like a good idea to make a gazebo near the fence, but consider whether the sounds of neighbors will intrude and disrupt the pleasure of your time in the recreation area. Yes, and you can disturb your neighbors. If you need to distract yourself from extraneous sounds, a small fountain nearby will create a more pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, not all of us have large plots, so no matter how you think about where to place, neighbors are everywhere. Well, if the neighbors are good, you can take off the gatherings and arrange !!! And the owners of 6-10 acres, surrounded on three sides by neighbors, option will do placing a gazebo in the middle of the site. Let's say there is a vegetable garden in the background, a gazebo in the middle, and in front zone(flower bed, rabatka) or rock garden, or reservoir. Just surround the gazebo with shrubs and non-aggressive trees for a more secluded feeling and escape from the sun.

The patio, as I wrote above, is a patio located between buildings. But this does not mean at all that it cannot be placed, for example, in the corner of a garden, or if a plot with elevation differences is in a secluded place surrounded by trees and shrubs from prying eyes.

Construction schemes or how to build gazebo or pergola, I don’t give. There is a lot of information on the Internet about this. It is not enough articles to describe everything. Everyone decides to make their own patio or buy a gazebo. It makes no sense to advise here. Enjoy viewing photos, note and create!

I think you are convinced that rest zone can be an elegant and refined element in the garden, if it blends in seamlessly with the landscape of the site. In the photo, of course, chic, time-consuming, large recreation areas. But what prevents us from making an analogue of any of them?

Is there a gazebo or a terrace on your site? Which recreation area will require less cost and labor, in your opinion?

By the way, it is now easier to leave comments - no need to enter e-mail, just the name is enough! We would be grateful for your comments! We read everything. We answer whenever possible!

Let your site not be like a neighbor's!

Regards, Tatiana!

More recently, our ideas about summer cottage rest were reduced only to relaxing in the shade, sitting in a sun lounger or lying in a hammock, or in the evening on an impromptu barbecue - all this seemed to be the top of suburban life. Today people have changed, which means that their needs have changed. One of the points of small construction in country house was the construction of a patio.

Patio Is a small paved area adjacent to the house on one side and looking like a courtyard, where it is convenient to relax, hiding from prying eyes or to take welcome guests... Patios can vary in size, level, quality and variety of finishes. The sonorous word “patio” can be called a small patch of land, tiled and equipped with a plastic table and a pair of folding chairs, or a multi-level area with stationary furniture, raised flower beds, small ponds with pergolas and multi-textured finishes. Both are patios, the only question is in the level of requests of the owner of the house and the thickness of his wallet.

Terrace has little difference from a patio and is often confused. To distinguish between these terms, as they say, on the ground, you should know that the terrace is always raised above the ground level, and in addition to limiting one side to the wall, it can also have side partitions in the form of gratings for or raised flower beds as such.


Patio device will require a lot of time and money, so make sketches yourself or invite a specialist, calculate the quantity and cost necessary material, this amount must necessarily include the fire protection of metal structures that may be needed in the construction of pergolas and gratings. Choose a design to your liking, because this structure is designed for a long service life, which means you should not get bored ahead of time.

If the patio still turned out to be inexpressive and boring, then you can "revive" it by removing part of the tile and replacing it with another one - contrasting or matching, another option is to plant it in the resulting voids ornamental plants... Remember that the patio must match the design of all the relevant elements of the garden - paths, the facade of the house, for retaining walls etc.

The main challenge when creating a patio from scratch is determining the size of the site. One thing is for sure - owners of limited space can take the entire plot under the patio, paving it completely, using different textured materials for decoration, planning permanent flower beds and the arrangement of pot crops and resulting in a real small garden. Do not forget that fire alarms in similar functional areas is not a luxury, but a vital necessity.

As illustrative example We present to you a variant of the installation scheme for a simple patio with a classic design.
