A country house or dacha is a place where you can take a break from work and bustle, enjoy the silence and surrounding nature, and become part of it. As you know, a gazebo is a mandatory building on a site, allowing you to get as close as possible to nature. Of course, in most cases, a simple and open gazebo is built, intended for use in the warm season. However, in winter I also want to spend time with my family in nature, cook barbecue and eat delicious food. In this situation, the salvation will be the construction of a winter gazebo or transforming structure, which will create a cozy and warm place for a comfortable rest.
Gazebos with a fireplace: considering interesting options (28 photos)
A gazebo with a fireplace is an ambitious and interesting idea for a country resident.
Any structure involving controlled fire is quite complex and expensive to build. Nevertheless, it brings comfort and warmth into the room (literally and figuratively), so for some this option is considered possible. Important : many people understand a fireplace as a structure differently. In this publication I will focus on options that have 3 functions:
- Decorative made of brick. Used to decorate a room, the fire is lit for aesthetics and to slightly warm the room (if it is closed).
- For heating and decoration - a long-burning stove with a transparent door.
- For cooking and decoration - in this case, the fireplace is a grill, barbecue and oven combined. Most often it is confused with a furnace complex.
Decorative fireplace - small, beautiful, cozy
This option is rarely used in gazebos. In this case, this fireplace is a common decorative element, for which you need:
- Build an additional foundation.
- Make masonry.
- Install a chimney.
Additionally, you still need to periodically clean off soot and remove ash. On the other hand, we get a solid attribute of the interior, flooding which can create a wonderful atmosphere - silence around and the sound of crackling firewood, isn’t that wonderful?
“You can’t even fry meat” is the main argument of people who abandoned conventional decor in favor of a fireplace-barbecue for cooking. Therefore, most people are not willing to invest so heavily in an outdoor fire just to enjoy it indoors.
In this case, an outdoor barbecue is enough to fry meat, where the fire is burning and the coals are crackling.
Long burning fireplace stove
An interesting option for indoor spaces. Thanks to its special design, this device will not only illuminate the room with fire, but also warm it from the inside. I would not say that such installations look extremely aesthetically pleasing and always “fit” into the gazebo, but they have their advantages:
- Do not take up much space;
- They cost much less than brick fireplaces;
- They really warm up - this is a strong argument for a closed gazebo.
I initially did not consider this format for this article. Most likely, most are considering installing a brick fireplace in their gazebo, but decided to leave it as an addition. Moreover, some options look very impressive. They are shown in the photo below.
Fireplace with barbecue, barbecue and stove functions
This option is much more popular among the population. The fire is burning, the coals are smoldering, the meat is fried, and pilaf can also be cooked on the stove, if the oven complex is designed for this. At first glance, there are only advantages. But, on the other hand, there is one noticeable and main disadvantage.
A fireplace like this for cooking will cost a lot of money. In some cases, it is more expensive than the gazebo itself.
This is where the thought process begins: “Do I really need such a complex? Isn't the grill enough to grill shish kebab? Maybe put it aside for a car..." People whose budget is limited think approximately in this format.
Such construction is relatively expensive for a gazebo, where people periodically gather on weekends to relax.
Tools and materials required for work
The following materials and tools will be needed in the work process:
- Decoration Materials;
- gypsum;
- sand;
- chisels;
- container for preparing the solution;
- hammer;
- brick;
- water;
- clay;
- building level;
- sander;
- cement;
- jigsaw;
- Bulgarian;
- shovel.
Attention : when building a fireplace, it is recommended to use not cement, but a special clay composition that can withstand fairly high temperatures.
Which option is better to choose?
A fireplace with barbecue and stove, as already mentioned, is quite expensive, and its construction is not always appropriate. And yet such construction can be very appropriate when there is a specific goal.
I was convinced of this by the example of Nikolai Tarasov, who built a closed gazebo with a fireplace, barbecue and stove in one and was satisfied with his construction (read more in the article - Do-it-yourself closed gazebo with barbecue, barbecue, stove: material calculation, photo, video ).
The construction of such a complex is advisable when there is a specific need for its use.
The main goal is cooking with his wife, as they really enjoy this process. Therefore, if you are also a cooking lover and are ready to invest in the construction of a large complex for this, this is your chance.
Leave only at least a little open fire in the stove complex, otherwise there will be nothing left of the fireplace
