Pavilions-tents: options, features and benefits

Every homeowner dreams of a beautiful gazebo on the plot. But unfortunately, there is not always free time and opportunities for capital construction of such an object. It is here that an attractive mobility arbor comes to the rescue.

Today we will talk about the features and advantages of such buildings.

Currently, many people prefer light and airy gazebos, tents. Such structures consist of a tent (frame construction) and an awning, which is a canopy made of fabric. The frame bases of such objects are assembled from a certain number of metal elements. Usually, These gazebos “rise” for a while, for example, to relax or meet friends / relatives.

Usually the base of the tent is supplemented with the most dense, durable textiles that are not afraid of moisture. If the material proves to be of poor quality, then it will not last long, as it may be adversely affected by precipitation during operation. The frame of the main structure often consists of aluminum or metal tubes that have a small cross section.

You should not think that the arbor-tent has only one modification. Currently, there are several variations of such designs, some of which can be done by yourself, without going to the store to buy the finished product. Such types of pavilions are very popular because they have many advantages, which include the following characteristics:

• The main advantage of tents arbors is their mobility. Initially, they occupy quite a bit of free space, in addition, they can be removed from the site at any time, if necessary.

• Another advantage of such structures is the ease of construction.To do this, you do not have to hire specialists - with all the stages of assembly, you can handle yourself.
• Similar designs have not striking, but attractive appearance. They resemble large, but very neat and aesthetic tents.
• Arbor-tent is practical - it does not require complex and regular maintenance.
• These models of arbors have various dimensional parameters. You can purchase both compact and very large construction for your site.
• Small tents easily fit in the trunk of a car, which indicates their trouble-free transportation.
• Do not think that these models are unreliable and will suffer after the first rain. The quality construction of such an arbor will not be afraid of strong winds or heavy rains.

There are no significant drawbacks in gazebos in the form of tents, but they still cannot be called ideal:

• “Deaf” pavilions rather quickly heat up, being under the sun. Because of this, being in them is not always comfortable.
• Poor construction can fall and break in windy conditions. In order not to face such a problem, it is necessary to assemble the arbor as thoroughly as possible using quality materials.

Modern consumers have a large selection of tent structures with a neat canopy. Everyone can choose the best option.

Consider what options arbors tents exist today:

• Small gazebos, which are installed in suburban areas, are rightfully recognized as the most popular and demanded. In such designs, the roof or stretched textiles are used to protect against the annoying rays of the sun or rainfall.
• If you are looking for a more original and rich model, you should consider the option of buying a luxury tent, which outwardly looks more like a tent than a tent. Usually these products are collapsible designs, decorated with various decorative details.

• Especially bright and elegant look special awning pavilions, which are used to decorate the site. The most popular option in this case is the rotunda. We can safely say that these designs are a true work of art with a cone-roof, from which it is difficult to look away.
• Also to decorate the site you can refer to the pergola.This design is a mini-arbor, which looks more like an arch, supplemented with live plants. In this case, it is the climbing plants that give the arbor a unique appearance.

There are also combined gazebos and tents. They have both mesh elements and textile inserts. Such structures are considered optimal, as they protect from rain and sun. In addition, these arbors look aesthetically pleasing.

Today, PVC-modified tent gazebos are popular.. These models are one of the varieties of transparent tents that provide excellent protection against negative external factors. In similar products, side parts are raised in clear weather. Thus, the tent is reincarnated in an open awning. In PVC tents, the upper part is both transparent and colored.

As mentioned earlier, awning pavilions can have a variety of dimensions. However, most often there are constructions with the following parameters:

• 2x2 m;
• 2.5 x 2.5 m;
• 2x3 m;
• 3x3 m;
• 3x6 m;
• 4x4 m;
• 6x3 m;
• 12x8 m

Modern tent gazebos are made of various materials. The most common designs are made of a shaped tube with the addition of a specially treated fabric. However, there are other options.

As a rule, tent pavilions have an inexpensive woven roof. For these frames, you can pick up an opaque artificial textile of the color you like. It is recommended to further treat the fabric.. Due to this, the material becomes more durable, wear-resistant. In addition, the treated sun is not afraid of aggressive sunlight, and raindrops do not penetrate through it.

It is very important to choose quality materials for the frame structure.

• Most common and reliable recognized metal frames. Such grounds can boast a long and trouble-free service life, as well as non-susceptibility to mechanical damage. Particularly unpretentious and strong are designs of duralumin. They do not need to be regularly treated with special compounds, as they do not appear destructive traces of rust.

• Also the frames do from wood. They look very attractive and natural, however this beauty will have to be constantly maintained with protective anti-fungal impregnations. If you neglect such care for wood, it can be subjected to rotting and destruction. If you follow the state of the wooden arbor, it will serve no less than metal.

• Rare arbors are made from stone. This material differs not only long service life, but also very attractive appearance. However, not every master can work with him, and this material is quite expensive.

• There are also framework bases from such material as fiberglass. The main advantage of arbors from similar raw materials is their small weight. But it should be taken into account that such structures cannot be called reliable, since they are subject to mechanical damage and do not withstand heavy loads.

Far from each site there is enough free space to accommodate the tent gazebo, so it is much more convenient to lay out when necessary. The place where you should put a similar structure depends directly on the material from which its frame is made.

For example, the construction of plastic or light aluminum can be placed on the front lawn, even if there is a carefully cut lawn on this area. In most cases, supports frame frameworks have flat nozzles that do not allow the structure to sink into the depth of the soil.

However, this does not mean that the tent pergola will organically fit into absolutely any landscape design in the conditions of summer cottage or a country house. For example, if a plot is represented by rugged terrain with overfalls and pits, then it must first be leveled at the place where you plan to install a gazebo.If such work is not possible, the structure should be located on the terrace by the house.

If there is a flat plane on your site, but you do not want to build a stationary (permanent) gazebo-tent, You can stock up on a prefab wood frame. To do this, you first need to prepare the foundation and then place the fastenings on it at the points of the frame supports so that it is more stable.

Next, you need to lay on the prepared base boards and wooden boards (in this case, these parts will be the floor). As a result, you get a great place to relax, where you can put pieces of furniture, such as a small sofa, table and chairs.

• If your holiday or garden plot is located in a rainy area, you should purchase constructions exclusively with waterproof fabric.It can also be further processed with a special compound. It is desirable that the tent had thick walls.
• If you buy a gazebo, you should not save. Too cheap designs may turn out to be of poor quality and will not last long.

• Getting a tent arbor, it is necessary to pay attention to existence of flat nozzles. These parts must be located on the frame supports. Without these components, the structure may fall into the ground and stand not evenly enough.
• If you have a folding structure, you should be aware that its unfolding often takes a lot of time. In order to pass this process without problems, experts recommend relying on the instructions attached to the tent.
