Do-it-yourself canopies for summer cottages from corrugated board and plain fabric

Arriving in the summer at the cottage, so you want to spend more time in the fresh air! But this is not always possible: at noon, the scorching sun rays drive us out of the street and force us to sit out in country houses. Therefore, in order to prolong the pleasure of communicating with nature, it is necessary to protect part of the site from the sun. This is easy to do - just build a canopy with your own hands.

What canopies for summer cottages are and what distinguishes them?

Having decided to build a canopy in the country, first decide on its design. In fact, the appearance of this design can be very different. It can be a canopy over the house, imitate a porch, a gazebo or a terrace.


According to their location, canopies are:

  • Attached

  • They are located close to the wall of the building, so one side of them is closed, and the other three are open. An attached canopy can be very functional. For example, if it is located above the front door, it acts as a visor or veranda. On the other side of the house, it could well be adapted for a patio.



  • Freestanding

  • Such canopies are very reminiscent of a pergola, differing from it only in the obligatory presence of a roof. Such canopies are most often used as a gazebo or parking for a car. Sometimes such canopies completely block the path leading from the gate to the front door of the house.



    According to the design of the roof, canopies are divided into:


  • Direct

  • These canopies are the easiest to make.



  • oblique shape

  • A similar design (single or gable) contributes to the flow of rainwater or melting snow from the canopy.



  • complex shape

  • Among such canopies, the most popular was the arched canopy with a semicircular curved roof. Despite the "complex" characteristics, such a design can be done independently. The metal profile (small diameter, of course) and the profiled sheet bend remarkably.



    Country canopies are made of various materials. The materials for covering the roof are especially diverse - it can be corrugated board, polycarbonate, plexiglass, metal tiles, slate and even dense fabric (for the manufacture of awnings). As for the frame, most often it is wooden or metal, less often - concrete, brick, stone.

    Polycarbonate canopy manufacturing technology

    A canopy with a polycarbonate roof is considered the most modern and easy to manufacture option. This material is strong, durable and does not lose its properties when exposed to cold, sun and precipitation. It bends well, so the roof of the canopy can take almost any shape, be it roundness or waves. For the installation of polycarbonate sheets, self-tapping screws with a rubber washer are used, which protects the material from cracking.


    The area over which a polycarbonate canopy can be built can be any. The main thing is to install a solid frame made of wooden beams or a metal profile.


    Let's look at how you can make such a wooden canopy with your own hands with a polycarbonate roof. It adjoins the wall of a residential building, creating a cozy terrace. A slight slope of the roof allows atmospheric precipitation to independently drain from the canopy without forming stagnant puddles on the surface.



    Before work, in order to avoid rotting, all wooden structural elements are painted with a primer and paint.


    The supporting pillars of the canopy are a wooden beam 90x90 mm (there are 5 of them in total). Please note that the height of the front legs is 1.96 m, and one rear leg is 2.3 m.



    Before the start of construction, the territory is marked, reflecting the position of the wooden supports of the canopy. At the points obtained, pits of square diameter with a depth of 50 cm are dug. The width of the pit should be 10 cm greater than the width of the support beam. In our example, ready-made forms are used as foundation foundations, which are dug into the ground. You can do it differently: pour a crushed stone pillow into the dug hole, tamp it down, then lower the timber, use the building level to check its verticality and concrete it.


    In our case, the support bars are fixed to the foundations using metal corners or brackets.



    Since the canopy in the country house will adjoin the house with its own hands, a 90x70 mm beam is horizontally fixed on the wall (two beams in the photo). Subsequently, he will play the role of a crossbar that carries the weight of the rafters and battens.



    The horizontal beam is connected to a long stand (2.3 m) using a metal corner.



    Two horizontal crossbars from a 90x70 mm beam are also fixed between the front pillars. The connection is made using metal corners. It is not recommended to use self-tapping screws for this - this is unreliable and threatens to collapse the entire structure.



    We can say that the main structural elements of the canopy are ready. Now it's time to "collect" the rafters. There are five of them in total and they are made of timber with a section of 70x70 mm. The rafters are laid on top of the crossbars and fixed with self-tapping screws. To connect with a horizontal beam on the wall, metal corners are used.



    For the crate, long bars of a small section, for example, 50x50 cm, are suitable. They are laid horizontally across the rafters and fixed with self-tapping screws.




    Decking (profiled sheet, plexiglass, etc.) is also attached to the crate with self-tapping screws.



    In the proposed example, the canopy is equipped with a metal gutter to drain rainwater into a PVC downpipe. This way you can avoid unpleasant drops flowing down from the canopy after the end of the rain.


    Do-it-yourself canopy from corrugated board

    A fairly popular material for a canopy is also corrugated board, it is especially often used to make the roof of a personal parking lot. It should be borne in mind that the profiled sheet transmits less light than polycarbonate, therefore, under such a canopy, the shadow curtain will be stronger.


    Since we have already considered how to build a canopy with our own hands from wood, let's focus on the option when the frame is made of a metal profile. Let's look at the photo below: this structure consists of four support posts, on top of which there are main beams and a crate covered with corrugated board.



    The construction of such a canopy is almost no different from the previous version. The difference is that its roof rests solely on vertical struts and does not come into contact with the wall of the house.


    The beginning of construction begins with the determination of the position points of the vertical supports, made of a profiled pipe with a section of 60x40 mm. The pitch of the racks is usually 1 m, however, you can vary this distance, depending on the thickness of the profiled sheet, the size of the profiled pipes. Having decided on the markings, they dig holes for supports, their depth is 50-60 cm. A crushed stone pillow is laid at the bottom of the hole and the support is set vertically. The foundation is poured with concrete.


    After the concrete has completely hardened (as a rule, it can withstand a week), you can proceed with the installation of horizontal beams with a section of 50x30 mm, which are fixed to the supports by welding. This can be the reason why many refuse this option: a canopy from a metal profile with their own hands can only be done by someone who knows the basics of welding and has a welding machine.


    The next step is to weld the crates of 50x30 mm pipes to the horizontal beams.


    After that, one thing remains: to fix sheets of corrugated board on the crate. This is done with self-tapping screws.

    Canopies in the yard made of fabric

    If you do not want to mess with the complex structures of canopies made of metal or wood, we recommend that you turn your attention to light canopies made of dense fabric. They are sold already with a ready-made metal frame that is attached to the wall, so there is no need to build anything additional. A special advantage of this design is the ability to quickly remove the awning by simply folding it - special levers and automation allow you to do this in a second.



    A fabric awning can also be made independently, but then it will not differ much from profiled sheet or polycarbonate buildings, although the appearance of such a canopy will be more picturesque and interesting. This canopy from the sun can be made by constructing a metal frame and putting on it a cloth of bright fabric.



    When going out into nature, one does not always have to count on good weather. An ordinary tent is able to protect from rain and sun, but it will not save the barbecue grill and the entire surrounding area from it. A canopy made of tarpaulin will do this task best. To simplify installation, we suggest using the following solution.
    We stretch between two trees at a height of 3-4 meters one rope with two 30-centimeter loops for attaching the canvas. We throw a tarpaulin on it, unfolding it diagonally. We fix two opposite hanging corners with stretch marks. It will take no more than 10 minutes to install such a canopy.



    Solution Benefits

    The main plus is the maximum simplicity of design and the possibility of quick installation. But this is not all the advantages of the solution, we note some of them:
    • It will take only 3 ropes and a tarpaulin sheet of any size.
    • The gable shape does not create conditions for the accumulation of water, which merges at only two points.
    • The ability to use panels of any size, including large ones.
    With all this, you do not clutter up the site with poles, which makes it more convenient for recreation.






    How to make such a canopy on the beach

    In this case, you will need one or two support posts. The easiest way to make them is from a steel pipe with a diameter of three quarters of an inch. So that such a support can be transported in the trunk, we make it collapsible from segments 1.2–1.5 meters long. As a connecting element, we use two bolts welded with heads with a diameter of 16 mm. An ordinary stud of the same section with a nut screwed onto it is also suitable. In order for the connector to fit snugly into the pipe, you can wrap it with several layers of electrical tape. To make it easier to fix the rope on the pole, we insert a similar adapter from bolts with a diameter of 10 and 16 mm into the upper part.


    For such a canopy, it is not necessary to use a large cloth; it will be difficult to pull it up in the forest. In cramped conditions, it is quite possible to take one or two small pieces of tarp to cover only the areas that you need. If you still decide to use a larger canvas, for the central support you will need a thicker rope that can withstand the load.
    To speed up the assembly, the ropes can be left tied to the panel, especially in cases where you will be attached to poles, not trees. Before assembly, it is worth tying the ropes to the supports and setting them so that there is not much sag.
    The rectangular tarpaulin can be twisted along the central rope to select the most comfortable position. We advise you to first spread it on the ground and figure out how to close the maximum area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site.



    How to tie a rope at a height

    It is not necessary to climb 3-4 meters high to secure the central rope to the tree. You can simply tie a stone or any stick to the string and throw it over the branch at the required height. And you can tie a knot already at a level convenient for you. If there are no suitable branches, then the rope is simply wrapped several times around the trunk, and fixed, for example, with a boat oar. By the way, with such an oar with a T-handle it will be convenient to remove the rope from the branch when disassembling the canopy.

    One of the elements of the terrace of a residential building is a roof designed to protect the resting household and guests from heat and rain. The manufacturing technology of the structure is quite complex and requires the skills of owning a number of tools, as well as knowledge in the field of construction.

    It is much easier to implement the upper ceiling over the veranda by making awnings and awnings for terraces. Their types and features will be discussed in the article.

    Kinds

    For the further narration, we will define the basic concepts that we will use. A canopy is generally called a stationary structure, consisting of several supports, an upper trim with a crate for mounting roofing material of one kind or another. Glass, cellular or sheet polycarbonate, metal tile or profiled sheet can act in their role.

    A more modern and aesthetic option for protecting the terrace from the sun and rain is the awning - a temporary canopy made of natural or artificial fabric, which has the ability to open as needed and close back. There are also stationary options, stretched on a rigid frame. Depending on the purpose, the following types of fabric canopies are distinguished:

    • terraced awnings are designed to cover fairly large areas of adjoining open verandas;
    • window awnings that act as outdoor curtains;
    • temporary partitions that divide the interior space of the premises as needed, as well as acting as a temporary wall separating the terrace from prying eyes.

    Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type separately.

    Terrace awnings

    Awnings for a veranda or terrace are long and are made of fabrics that do not allow moisture to pass through. You can use artificial canvases, or natural ones pre-impregnated with water-repellent compounds. Among the most common fabrics for terrace awnings are the following:

    1. acrylic;
    2. polyvinyl chloride;
    3. polyester;

    Each of these types has good moisture insulation. The main difference between different fabrics is in terms of value. Some materials are located in a more budgetary range and are well suited for making do-it-yourself awnings, others are more expensive and are used in the industrial production of canopies.

    According to the opening methods, awnings are made with two main types of mechanisms - elbow (lever) and roll. The first is an electrified version, which has a spring-loaded cassette in its design and one or two elbow-type hinges resembling a human hand. Adjustment of the opening of the awning with an elbow mechanism can be carried out both from a stationary wall panel and remotely.

    To install such a canopy over the terrace, a solid foundation is required in the form of a house wall. It must be made of durable building materials, since the main load from the mass of the awning and the opening mechanism is applied to the wall. An additional impact can be exerted by the wind load on the awning, which has a large windage, accumulated precipitation in the form of rain or snow.

    Roll mechanisms for awnings are simpler in their design. They consist of a cassette and an additional, usually aluminum frame. The opening of the awning can be carried out manually or also by means of an electric drive. Special limiters of mechanical or electrical action make it possible to limit the length of the extended leaf and the area covered by the terrace awning.

    Awnings for windows

    Basket-type window awnings are rarely found in private housing construction. You can see them as an additional element in the design of windows of cafes, restaurants and other buildings. They are semi-baskets on a tubular arc frame in the upper half of a window or doorway, and, as a rule, do not have the ability to fold.

    More relevant for rooms located on the sunny side, roll-type awnings, based on a tubular outer frame, located at a small distance from the wall. The use of such a curtain on the outside of the building avoids overheating of the air in the rooms and blocks access to the interior of the premises to direct sunlight.

    Temporary windows and walls

    Correctly using vertical awnings, you can create temporary barriers on the terrace with your own hands, as well as delimit the interior space of the veranda for relaxation and privacy. They are convenient to use in the presence of large unglazed openings in case of sudden rain or increased wind. All you have to do is lower the vertical awning on the terrace and you can continue enjoying the great outdoors.

    Roll-type awnings are most often used as vertical ones. To open the web, there is a handle on the movable part of the cassette, and a roller wheel in the lower part. A vertical awning is fixed on the wall or an additionally installed solid support anywhere on the veranda.

    Making an awning

    The wide distribution of such consumer-friendly devices, which are terrace awnings, is limited by their relatively high cost. You can significantly reduce costs, decorate your home and get the necessary accessory by making a canopy with your own hands. To work, we need the following tool:

    1. tailor's scissors;
    2. sewing machine;
    3. drill with a perforator;
    4. screwdriver

    From the materials it is necessary to purchase a sufficient amount of fabric suitable for a street canopy and a ready-made mechanism for a cassette-elbow awning for a terrace. It is not easy to make a mechanism yourself, so it is better to purchase it.

    Cutting and hemming the awning

    Having picked up a fabric with high moisture resistance and color fastness to fading, we cut out the necessary canvas of the awning. The dimensions should correspond to the width of the mechanism, and the length should exceed the cover by 40-50 cm. Additional hemming of the fabric will help prevent crumbling of the edge. It is desirable to process artificial canvases for awnings along the edge with a slightly heated soldering iron or use special melting scissors for cutting.

    It is better to purchase a full-width canvas so that the canopy over the terrace does not have butt joints. If it was not possible to select the necessary parameters, you will have to sew the awning. In this case, the main task is high-quality docking of the picture.

    Assembly and installation

    The prepared canvas must be fixed on the working shaft of the awning mechanism. To do this, the shaft is removed from the cassette, thoroughly lubricated with universal glue and one edge of the awning is carefully fixed, wrapping it tightly for 1-2 turns. Some variants of awning mechanisms have a simpler method of fastening. Please read the assembly instructions first.

    The next step is to mount the awning on the selected wall of the house. For this, special cornices are used, attached to the mechanism. They are attached strictly along one horizontal line. To do this, pre-marking is performed using a building or laser level. The installation step of terrace awning cornices should not exceed 1.5 meters.

    In the places where the awning supports are installed, holes are drilled with a 10 mm carbide drill. They are equipped with plastic dowels. The fastening of the cornices is carried out with reinforced self-tapping screws with hexagonal heads of sufficient length. The awning is mounted on the fixed supports. With the help of a special system, the angle of inclination of the awning fabric is adjusted. For high-quality runoff of atmospheric moisture, it should not be less than 20 o.

    It is good to relax in the summer in the country, but when the sun is very hot, you want to hide in the shade. It happens that in the summer cottage there is no opportunity to relax in the shade of trees. And then you can shade a small area in the courtyard of a private house with the help of a canopy or gazebo. It is very simple to make a simple canopy in the country house on your own - you just need to install supports and fix a roof of one or another material on them. Even beginners can handle the work, and more experienced craftsmen can turn this structure into a real decoration of the site.

    There are several ways to make a simple canopy with your own hands from improvised materials.

    Usually summer cottages have a rather limited space and such a fabric canopy will be a great addition to summer holidays.
    Moreover, any improvised materials are suitable for the realization of this idea.

    • For a quick construction of a canopy from the sun, you will need 4 supports (long sticks 2 - 2.5 meters), 4 containers for installing supports and any material for the awning.
    • Instead of sticks, you can use wooden beams, bamboo sticks, metal supports for climbing plants, and even PVC pipes.
    • Containers in the form of buckets, flower pots, etc. needed to install and secure supports.
    • For an awning, an old bedspread, tablecloth or regular sheet is suitable.

    We build a canopy - quickly and easily

    The idea of ​​building a fabric canopy is simple to the point of disgrace and it is surprising why it is so rarely used! But everything is very simple.

    It is necessary to install supports in the prepared containers and fill them with any material at hand - soil, sand, gravel. Ideally, it is better to use cement mortar. Then you will be sure that the supports are securely fastened.

    Then everything is simple - depending on what you will use as an awning, place the supports at the selected distance and stretch the awning between them, tying the ends with a rope.

    Everything, an impromptu canopy made of fabric for giving is ready. Its special advantage is that when leaving for the city, you can fold and store the canopy in the pantry.

    If it is possible to attach a tent to a tree branch, then this will be an ideal place to relax.

    How to make a pvc garden shed

    PVC pipes are so easy to use that craftsmen constantly find different uses for them. Of these, you can build an original garden canopy and even a full-fledged gazebo. The process will not take much time, and the result will please you. Despite its simplicity, the construction of plastic water pipes will turn out to be reliable and will perform its functions perfectly.

    For a garden canopy with your own hands, you will need PVC pipes for the frame, 4 pieces of reinforcement, awning fabric, twine (if necessary) and flower pots if desired. Be sure to check that the pins go inside the pipe. The inner diameter of the pipes is 12 mm and they are connected to each other by tees and fittings.

    An awning made of any dense fabric, the edges can be pulled to the pipes with nylon twine, or the edges can be sewn to thread the pipes inside.

    Stages of building a canopy of their PVC pipes


    Arrangement of a wooden canopy near a private house

    The construction of a wooden canopy with your own hands near a private house is based on several stages.

    It is important to choose the right materials, prepare all the tools. After that, you can proceed to the arrangement of the foundation for mounting the frame. The work should be completed by installing the truss system and laying the slate.

    The choice of materials for the canopy

    For the installation of a canopy at their summer cottage, materials from tree species are suitable. Durable pine is most suitable. An array of this reliable wood is able to decorate any exterior. The ease of use of pine is due to the not too large weight of the material.

    The selection of materials depends on the size of the future canopy. Not the last role is played by the functional purpose. Before arranging the structure, it is important to draw up a diagram. The wooden canopy consists of the following main elements:

    • walls or screens - 5 pcs.;
    • racks - 6 pcs.;
    • bars or boards - 4 pcs.;
    • crates;
    • roofing material.

    Structural elements can be connected using anchors, metal corners. To check the evenness of the joints, experienced craftsmen recommend using the building level.

    Laying the foundation for a canopy

    Before laying the foundation, it is important to choose the right type of foundation, coordinating it with the canopy design scheme. All dimensions of the structure and its foundation must be calculated in advance.

    If you do not provide for an additional foundation for a wooden canopy, then you can drive the support pillars for the canopy into pre-prepared pits. To drill wells, it is enough to have a drill, but an ordinary shovel will do. The pits should be located on the same line and have a depth of about 50 cm.

    To check the horizontalness of the foundation being built, a building level is required.

    Installation of the frame and roof

    Support posts should be installed at a distance of 1 m from each other. This will ensure that the awning hangs at a distance of 2 m, and the side structural elements - by 0.5-1 m. Before filling the pits with concrete mortar, they should be covered with crushed stone for maximum stability of the frame.

    For precise laying of the rafters, the bars should be cut in height with a bevel at an angle corresponding to the slope of the future canopy roof. Racks should not have a height of less than 1.8 m. To cover a span of 6 m, bars with a section size of 150x50 mm will be enough. You can make rafters out of them, placing them at a distance of 1 m from each other.

    Next, you can proceed to the installation of the crate on the rafters perpendicular to the bars. Wood screws should be used as fasteners. After that, you can proceed to the installation of the awning.Written by Ludmila

    A canopy is a very practical and at the same time economically advantageous design. As a building object, a canopy is a structure that is located on the street, in the form of a roof of various shapes, located on supports. The purpose of the canopy is to protect against the effects of such weather factors as rain, snow, wind, direct sunlight. So, how to build a canopy in the country with your own hands.

    Types of canopies

    • Inclined direct canopies (gable, single slope). Such a design will help drain rainwater or melted snow from it.

    • Direct. These are perhaps the easiest canopies to make.

    • Complex shape (arched, arched, in the form of polygons, domes, pyramids, etc.). The most popular arched canopy with a curved roof in the form of a semicircle. Such a design may seem complicated only at first glance. In fact, the profiled sheet and the metal profile of a small diameter bend perfectly.

    • Separate structures. Free-standing canopies resemble a pergola, differing only in the obligatory presence of a roof. Usually used as a parking lot for a car or gazebo. Often such canopies cover the entire path from the gate to the door of the house.

    • Attached (to the outer wall, above the porch, balcony, entrance). Attached canopies closely adjoin the wall of the building, respectively, one side in this structure is closed, and the other three are open. The attached canopy is very functional. For example, being at the front door, it can act as a veranda, and in the backyard it can be adapted as a patio.

    • Functional and decorative awnings. Functional canopies usually carry enclosing and protective functions, while they are simple and ergonomic. Decorative - this is an artistic composition, usually used in landscape design to decorate the site.

    Another classification of canopies takes into account a number of other factors:

    • According to their location.
    • By appointment (area for a car, pool, etc.)
    • To size.
    • According to the material of manufacture of the structure, they are divided into stone, wooden, metal and combined.

    Construction of a canopy in the country

    Before building a canopy in the country, you should make a sketch or at least a sketch of a future project. Decide on its style, compatibility with the main buildings on the site. It is desirable, of course, that the material be the same as the roof of buildings. In general, the roof covering material is particularly diverse - it can be polycarbonate, metal tiles, slate, dense fabric (awning), corrugated board. Although now polycarbonate is most often chosen, whose flexibility allows you to build canopies of the most diverse and voluminous shapes. It is also a matter of ease of construction of these structures. And, perhaps, one of the main advantages of polycarbonate is its low weight. After all, the total power of the structure will depend on the weight of the roof of the canopy.

    When building a canopy, consider factors such as wind resistance and snow load. Therefore, you should be especially careful when considering the angle of inclination of the future roof and the power of the supporting racks of the structure. Even with an increase in the height of the roof and its angle of inclination, the wind pressure will also increase, which should be taken into account when designing.

    The prevailing wind direction must also be taken into account. The design of the canopy, the interconnection of its elements is calculated so that the wind does not move, weaken and, in principle, does not blow it away. When calculating wind and other loads on a structure, it is advisable to use building codes and rules that are easy to find, for this, just type in any search engine - SNiP 2.01.07-85.

    Necessary tools and materials

    Let's look at the most popular canopy design in the country with the use of polycarbonate. Its main advantage is the ease and speed of installation.

    So, for the manufacture of a canopy made of polycarbonate, you will need:

    • To drill holes, you need an electric drill with standard drills.
    • Circular saw (circle with small teeth) for cutting polycarbonate sheets.
    • For installation, a one-piece or split polycarbonate profile is required.
    • For fastening - thermal washers, self-tapping screws, a screwdriver or a drill.
    • Perforated and aluminum sealing tape and profile for polycarbonate.

    Having decided on the location of the canopy, having designed its appearance, it is worth deciding on the structural load-bearing elements. They may apply:

    • wooden beam;
    • metallic profile;
    • reinforced pipe;
    • brick columns and a frame for a roof made of metal or wood;
    • metal corner.

    Stages of building a canopy

    • First you need to mark the area for the future canopy. It is worthwhile to foresee the electrical wiring in a protected sleeve to the future canopy for arranging sockets and lighting in the future.
    • Base for the supporting structure. Regardless of the material for the construction of the canopy, it is necessary to prepare a reliable foundation for the racks. Commonly used: monolithic pouring with formwork, brickwork, pipe with concrete pouring, etc.
    • Installation of load-bearing structures. Metal load-bearing structures can be either bolted or welded. For example, as in the photo above, when a welded frame made of a metal profile and cellular polycarbonate were used.
    • Installation of roofing lathing, taking into account the load of the roofing. If the roof is planned from natural tiles, make a stronger, reinforced structure, but if you plan to just pull the awning, there will be enough fastening hooks.
    • Structure protection. The wooden frame must be covered with a special antiseptic for outdoor use, and the metal frame with anti-corrosion protection.
    • Roofing installation. We do in accordance with the technological standards of the selected roof.
    • Arrangement of the final covering of the base for the canopy. Regardless of the material chosen for the base, do not forget about the need for a slope for water flow. The most popular base material is stone, which is valued for its durability. Though boardwalk would be a good alternative to stone. Do not forget to treat the boards with a protective compound and it will also serve you for many years.

    Fabric canopy

    This option is suitable for those who do not want to build complex metal or wooden structures at all. Canopies made of fabric do not require the construction of additional structures, as they are sold already with a ready-made frame, which remains only to be attached to the wall. The advantage of such a canopy will be its ability to quickly fold - using special levers or automation.

    fire safety

    Barbecue is an indispensable element of country life. Previously, only metal was recommended for the construction of barbecue sheds. Nowadays, wood and polymeric materials are actively used. When planning the construction of a wooden barbecue shed, be sure to consider the design features and, above all, wood processing. Buy the necessary substances in a specialized store, apply them to the wood and your canopy will be able to withstand high temperatures.

    Install the oven as far away from wooden supports as possible. The roof of the canopy should not be too low. If you use polycarbonate, then it is better to choose a darker color, because it will inevitably be smoked, and digging on light polycarbonate looks too untidy. The exhaust pipe must not touch the polycarbonate. The pipe should be overlaid with brick, and between it and the polycarbonate, a side trim is made using heat-resistant materials.

    Everything, the canopy in the country is ready. You can barbecue under it, spend summer evenings. If it was intended for your car, now it will be reliably protected. And given that you made it yourself, you have a reason to be proud.

    The demanded buildings on the site also include gazebos and pergolas, more about them in the links provided.

    Photos of canopies

    And finally, a few more photos of sheds, which, perhaps, will give you an idea for your own dacha. In the first photo you can see a canopy, the supporting structure of which is partially made of gabions, the scope of which is very extensive. You can learn more about them by clicking on the link above.

    We have considered with you how to build a canopy in the country with your own hands We hope this article was helpful to you.
