A gazebo is just an absolutely necessary thing in the country to have a good snack, drink tea, and just hide from the rain.
What most people think: construction Pergolas are a very long and laborious process. Of course, there is some truth here, but it still depends on the design of the gazebo.
I will show you the gazebo, which is absolutely realistic to assemble in 1 day or 7-8 hours. Its plus is not only that it is very simple, but also that it does not have a stationary foundation. And if you want, it can be transferred in two accounts manually to any other place without much effort.
In the construction of the gazebo, you can use any board. As I said, the gazebo has no foundation and is placed either on bricks or on the remains of paving slabs. But if you wish, you can dig trenches and pour the foundation from concrete.
I will not write the dimensions of the gazebo, because I do not know them, because I did everything by eye.
The first step was to determine the perimeter of the rectangle and assemble it. Put on a tile every corner. By fasting, I gathered two sides on the floor in the form of a pentagon, only without a bottom - the bottom board was already at the base. Note that the pentagon captures a small piece of the board at the very top. Without it, the whole system will fall apart. We attach pentagons to the base. It is better for two to work here: one holds, the other pokes.

Next, we nail the longitudinal guides. Then I used a stepladder, but in general, the roof can be assembled on the ground, and then put on a gazebo - someone like it. We hammer the floor from smaller boards, make benches. On this, the whole frame is ready. The design is stable, does not waver.

I covered the gazebo with polycarbonate, but you can use special coatings for the roof, such as corrugated board. But I decided to choose cheaper, although the corrugated board is better, due to the fact that it does not let in sunlight. In general, what cover you choose again.
You can make such a simple arbor not only for a summer residence, but for a private house, the design is simple and unpretentious, and looks excellent.

    Please tell me, the exact dimensions of your gazebo, how many and what kind of boards have been spent, as well as the size of the pentagon? Otherwise I also want this, but I can’t calculate the material and dimensions, thanks.

    Here, in no case do not make the roof of corrugated board. IT HEATS, like any metal. Polycarbonate is also not the best solution, although it reflects ultraviolet light, but because the VISUALLY the sun passes (there is no shadow), you feel uncomfortable. The best solution is a simple slate or even a DSP. Euro slate more expensive. Or a camouflage net that can be removed for the winter. True, this is only from the sun.

    Interesting. But! At the corners of a scarf or the like In the middle you need another section. Be sure to attach to the ground - otherwise the wind will blow
