Everyone knows the corner in the garden that remains completely unused because it doesn't invite you to linger in the blazing sun. But that doesn't have to be the case - Fati and Besi from the Instagram account @fati.besi have the ideal solution for an oasis of well-being: A garden gazebo.
The pair opted for a sustainable version made from waste wood that protects the environment and saves money at the same time. If you don't have any leftover wood, you can easily and cheaply buy the wood you need at your nearest DIY store. We show you step by step how to build a gazebo yourself and use the W 590 FLEXiO for colourful accents.
Spruce wood is recommended for the construction of a gazebo as it is light and particularly strong. Otherwise, wood from pine, Douglas fir, fir, beech, oak and larch can also be used.
Of course, you shouldn't rush into building the gazebo completely unprepared, a certain amount of preparation is necessary. Firstly, think about how big the gazebo should be and on which surface it should stand. Different posts are required depending on the surface.
Before you start building the gazebo, you should check with the regional building regulations to find out whether planning permission is required for your dream gazebo. There is no standardised nationwide solution here, so pay attention to the regulations of the respective federal state!
Summer can come! Siesta in the shade, breakfast or barbecue outdoors, but protected from the sun. Or simply relax in your cosy retreat. The self-built wooden gazebo is the perfect place in the garden for all of this. By the way: If decorations and furniture are stored, the gazebo is also winter-proof with the right coat of paint.
If there is no space in your garden for a self-built gazebo because you already have a cosy garden shed. Then you can also give your garden shed a new coat of paint. The following article shows you how you can easily redesign your garden shed:
