Pavilion in the Japanese style: options, interesting projects and recommendations

Almost every owner of a dacha or a house with a small plot wants to create a cozy place in the open air, where you can have a good time. At the same time it is necessary that it be protected from exposure to sun, wind and sunlight. For such purposes, a gazebo in Japanese style will perfectly suit, as it perfectly matches all the necessary comfort parameters and has a stunning appearance.

general description

This product is very similar to other designs of this purpose, but it also has some differences. Typical gazebo in the Japanese style is made of wood. It should have a massive roof, which can be created in two levels. It is very important to adhere to a certain style to match the design.

The walls of such structures are made of light materials. Very often a special fabric or a matte film is used for this . At this stage, it is also very important to match the style, focusing on the Japanese beginning.

It is worth noting that the floor in such pavilions is usually created on piles and is made of wood. However, it is this item that can be changed to the personal preferences of users. This is due to the possibility of installing a table and benches, as well as allocate space for a fireplace or grill.

Options

To date, a Japanese style gazebo can be created using different materials or designs. Some masters use expensive tree species, and people who want to save, try to use profiled sheeting and pipes. Everyone has the right to choose which materials to use, but the design of the construction must correspond to certain parameters, in which old Japanese buildings are built.

In this article, we will consider the most optimal manufacturing option, which involves the use of different technologies and materials. Such a gazebo will combine an excellent design, reasonable savings and practicality.

Choice of materials

If you make a Japanese style gazebo with your own hands, then it is worthwhile to calculate the design in such a way that the minimum amount of time is spent on the manufacture of various elements or sections. This structure is not capital, and, most likely, it can be attributed to small architectural forms.

For the foundation, piles are best used. They are easy to install, do not take a lot of time out of the overall construction process and perfectly protect the structure from moisture during heavy rains.

For a roof it is necessary to use a metal profile with a special embossing. Currently, the market can buy a variety of types of this material, and some of them are quite suitable for the implementation of the project in the Japanese style. At the same time, the metal profile has a small cost, good appearance and excellent protection from external factors of influence.

The frame of the gazebo will have to be made of wood. It is this material that will give it a peculiar style. The same applies to the floor covering.

Typical arbor for a summer residence in the Japanese style usually has protection from a wind which establish on perimetre. It has the appearance of peculiar panels, which can often be seen in the films of the country of the rising sun. However, the natural material is not practical and has a short service life. Therefore, experts advise to make their own designs from a matte dense film, which is stuffed onto the frame.

Drawing

There are many projects, which will suit a gazebo in the Japanese style. The drawing of an independent design is worth creating, focusing on them. First, choose the type of design and fit it to fit the required dimensions. It is important to take into account the specific features of the materials used and to work out the places of their connection with each other. A pile-field drawing is also created separately, if these supports are used to make the foundation.

Base

Almost all summerhouses in Japanese and Chinese styles are put on special supports, which raise the flooring above the ground. This allows you to protect both the coating itself from dampness and people from the cold. That's why it's best to use screw piles.

• To begin with, you need to align the area on which the structure will be installed.
• Then, using a special tool, make holes in the ground corresponding to the pile field.
• Further, it is necessary to screw the supports. With the right approach, two people can handle this job without using special equipment.
• When all the piles are located in their places, perform their strapping. The supports are connected with each other using a metal channel. It is on him will be subsequently laid flooring and installed roof rack.
• If necessary, you can create small steps and close the piles at the ends. So the design will get a more favorable appearance.

Supports

Wooden roof supports are installed directly on the channel. Best if they are immured in a special armopoyas, which can be poured from the concrete around the perimeter. Otherwise, it is necessary to create a special fastening that would keep them in one place. Some masters prefer in such cases to use additional beams from a bar which also stack on perimeter, connecting between supports.

It is best to bandage the supports and on the upper level. To do this, also use wooden beams, which are mounted under the roof itself. If the design plans to install partitions, then you can make an additional dressing at the height of the panels, creating a kind of railing.

Floor

• To begin with, the logs that run along the perimeter are lagged. They are fixed with the help of a dovetail joint, which allows the whole structure to be at the same plane level.
• Further on logs fill a rough floor from a board. Some masters use the finish coat immediately, but then the design will quickly lose its appearance and beauty.
• A blanket is laid across the rough floor or diagonally. Even if a gazebo is made in the Japanese style of 3x4, which does not correspond to the ideal square surface, this solution will also look great in it.
• All wooden elements must be treated with a special impregnation, which would protect the structure from external influences and insects. After that, they can be painted in a color that is characteristic of more expensive species of wood.

Roof

Almost any project of arbors in Japanese and Chinese styles is united by a special roof construction. It has sloping slopes with a slight elevation at the end. Also, such designs differ in that they are created in several tiers.

For ease of manufacture, it is best to use a two-level roof, the construction of which is created from a metal profile or wooden beams. In this case, the product is made in such a way that between the top and bottom roof there is a large clearance for the ventilation windows. Such a technical solution will allow not only to repeat the original Japanese style, but will create additional ventilation, which is useful in hot weather or when using a barbecue grill.

Metal rolling for coating must be cut into certain segments. When installing them in the gaps it is necessary to mount a wooden river, which will create the appearance of powerful rafters. So you can save on materials, ease the weight of the structure and at the same time create a unique appearance.

It is worth noting that some manufacturers of roofing products create products that are already appropriate to Chinese or Japanese style. They paint them in traditional colors for these countries and apply the appropriate embossing. Therefore, it is sometimes easier to purchase ready-made material than to try to repeat it yourself.

Walls

Almost all variants of arbors in Japanese and Chinese styles presuppose the installation of special panels for protection from wind or side rain. It is quite easy to make such items using modern materials and a minimum of costs.

• It is necessary to purchase wooden slats and a thick matte film for the color of papyrus.
• From the racks you need to create a frame or frame that would outwardly match the Japanese partitions in the houses.
• Then the structure is treated with protective impregnation and painted in the desired color.
• At the next stage, the film is stuffed onto the frame and, for secure fixing, is pressed against the rails on the other side by the pre-fabricated casing.
• As a result, we get excellent panels in the necessary style, which can be installed around the perimeter. In this case, the places of fixation should be made in the form of locks or clips, so that if necessary, the wall could be removed.
• It is worth noting that there is such a direction of this design, which involves the use of wooden slats, packed diagonally and perpendicular to each other. However, this design is very poorly protected from wind.

Conclusion

Even the simplest gazebo in the Japanese style will become a real decoration of the country or homestead plot. It perfectly fits into any interior and can become its main element. In this case, to create this design does not necessarily have special skills or talents. It is enough to have a clear idea of the finished product and prepare a qualitative drawing, according to which all the work will be done.
