A landscaped garden is not just about beautiful plants. To fully enjoy your property, you need to take care of the yard equipment. Small architecture should decorate the garden next to the flowers and make the landscape more cozy and comfortable. A garden gazebo is a place where you can hide from the sun or rain, and also store a lot of things. There are several types of garden gazebos. Forged metal models are distinguished by their special aesthetics. Manufacturers are surpassing each other in creating more and more beautiful and interesting designs. Consider the beautiful wrought-iron gazebos in the photos presented for your dacha or home.
Advantages of forged gazebos
When choosing gazebos and garden furniture, you should take into account not only aesthetic, but also practical characteristics:
- durability of the material from which they are made;
- need for maintenance;
- weather resistance.
Today, different gazebos are available in the market. They are characterized by high strength and do not require frequent maintenance. Forged gazebos are exactly what they are, because users can relax in them without wasting time on labor-intensive painting and structural repairs.
Wrought iron gazebos are an investment that pays off. First of all, they are practically indestructible, resistant to any mechanical damage such as scratches. Their advantage is also the fact that iron gazebos perform perfectly in the garden, allowing the user to enjoy remarkable style and workmanship, blending harmoniously into the landscape, for example, in an industrial style or a more traditional one.
When choosing gazebos, it is worth paying attention to how they are made, for example, whether they are made by hand and whether the final product is properly protected from corrosion and rust during the production process.
Impressive design and durability for many years
Wrought iron gazebos are characterized by durability, careful workmanship, rich designs and colors. In addition, due to the fact that the products are handmade, powder-coated and patinated, you will be able to use the forged gazebo for many decades, passing it on by inheritance.
It should also be noted that garden gazebos intended for outdoor use are galvanized, which can be both decorative and protective, increasing resistance to adverse external factors. Only later are they painted using the powder method, which almost forever protects them from corrosion. Thanks to this, forging also does not require special maintenance from users.
Arrangement of a forged gazebo
A wrought iron gazebo can be complemented with many other materials, allowing for an almost unlimited number of designs. For example, metal tables are very popular. Often clients decide to combine gazebos and wrought iron furniture with granite or wood. The most successful solution is folding chairs combined with wooden slats, which break the rather harsh style of the wrought iron gazebo, combining it with natural wood. Plastic is suitable as a budget option.
Features of manufacturing forged gazebos
Today you can choose gazebos in different colors from a wide palette. In addition to the base tone, you can also paint the furniture in the color of your choice. This option is available from almost every manufacturer. All wrought iron gazebos are made upon request. Companies produce designs based on individual customer projects, selecting the final product according to the most sophisticated wishes. In addition to our wide selection of wrought iron furniture, you can consider other types of metalwork, both black and stainless steel, including carved balustrades and fences.
Preparation for construction
Metal selection
Since the most used metal is a profile pipe, I suggest considering its dimensions, which are ideal for your gazebo.
- Bottom base : 60*60*2 mm.
- Support posts (pillars) : 60*40*2 mm or 50*50*2 mm.
- Top trim : 40*40*2 mm.
- Truss : 60*40*2 mm.
- Railing : 40*20*20 mm.
It will be important to choose the shape of the pipe; it can be square, rectangular or round.
- The round shape is cheaper, but it is much more difficult to work with. It is quite difficult to properly weld two round sections together to withstand such serious loads as the frame and people inside.
- Square and rectangular ones will cost you slightly more, but welding joints will be much faster and easier.
Drawings with dimensions
Below are a few projects that you can implement on your site. Of particular value is the drawing made from a 25 by 25 mm pipe, which is painted down to every detail. This gazebo is one of the cheapest products offered for the garden. Most often it is called “garden”.

Forged pergolas, located in gardens and parks, serve as an excellent place to install benches, benches, and swings. Metal products, tightly entwined with plants, allow visitors to a public place to shelter from rain or scorching sun.
Forged pergolas can be installed in the courtyards of multi-storey residential and commercial buildings. This technique will allow you to create a green corner among the concrete jungle.
What to look for when choosing?
Wrought iron garden gazebos usually cost more than wood due to the material used and its durability. There is no point in choosing structures that are made poorly, because it may not even survive the first winter, especially since this type of gazebo is more vulnerable to corrosion. A very important aspect is also the appearance of the shelter. Metal makes it possible to make different designs, so you should choose the best, not hackneyed models.
With your own hands
A forged pergola is a fairly large product, which is quite difficult to make and install yourself. But if several components are completed, it is possible to make a metal structure.
- Firstly, the performer must have the skills of a blacksmith and welder. It is possible to acquire basic knowledge on your own. But to implement complex projects, it is necessary to obtain an education in blacksmithing institutions.
- Secondly, the performer will need blacksmith equipment and blacksmith tools.
- Thirdly, the craftsman needs to develop a sketch and, in accordance with it, buy the required amount of materials that will be required for the manufacture and assembly of the frame, the production of decorative elements that serve as filling for the pergola, foundation and painting of the forged product.
Reference. You can not only make decor for a pergola yourself, but also buy it or order it from specialists. Many companies specialize in the sale of forged elements.

Metal is an extremely durable and at the same time flexible material, which allows you to create interesting designs.

Designers divide wrought iron summerhouses into three large groups:
- Pergolas are buildings for recreation and entertainment, abundantly covered with green plants. Their design necessarily contains gratings. They serve as a support for lush vegetation. Pergolas have been known for a very long time. They were erected during the Middle Ages. Nowadays, they have again become popular among lovers of original landscape designs. A type of pergola is a gazebo with interconnected arches, which are covered on top and sides with a carpet of flowering plants.
- Belvedere are rounded structures, usually installed on small hills in the garden. Such gazebos are built quite quickly; belvederes can be covered with a polycarbonate roof and you can relax in them with pleasure both in summer and in the cold season.
- Gazebos are aerial buildings placed in open areas of the site, surrounded by grass. These gazebos are most often used in the summer, when the sun generously floods the earth with light and warmth. In this case, the gazebo provides a person with a beneficial refuge from the heat.
