Creating a cozy corner for relaxation
Today we will look at some interesting ideas on how to make your garden plot even more attractive and original.
Table and chairs made of hemp
To implement the idea, you will need to stock up on wooden sections from strong wood (oak, ash, walnut) and the proper set of tools.
Each workpiece must be trimmed with a plane, the top surface must be sanded, and coated with primer and varnish in several layers. The right approach to creating a garden table will ensure long service life of the products in the country.
Table and chairs made of hewn boulders
Stone chairs in the garden are used in several styles of landscape design, but any summer resident can create such a rocky interior on his own.
Prepare a flat area, clear the ground of possible roots and metal debris. Place the main boulder table in the center of the prepared area. You will have to work a little on sanding the tabletop. Place chairs made of stones around.
The peculiarity of a stone landscape is that it does not require planting flowers around. Therefore, if you and your family plan to have breakfast and lunch at the new table, try to place the structure in the shade.
Children's house
The simplest wooden canopy or canopy will provide your child with many hours of enthusiastic play in the fresh air. The roof will protect the baby's skin from the sun, and his toys and sandbox from the rain.
How to create decorative paths in a country garden
Well-groomed paths will give a neat appearance to your garden, and in rainy weather you can easily move along the paved paths to anywhere in the yard.
In addition, formed paths have another important advantage: winding paths visually increase the area of the garden. We will get acquainted with the most interesting ideas for the garden and cottage.
Paths made of large pebbles
Round, smooth stones fit perfectly into any landscape, giving it a unique style and comfort. Before starting work, determine the boundaries of the future path, sprinkle the soil with a layer of sand, on top of which we will begin laying stones. The pebbles must be laid tightly so that the elements of the path do not diverge during service.
Paths made of chopped wood
Most often, halves of wooden blocks are used to create decorative bridges in landscape design. But this does not at all limit their use in other areas. When creating wooden paths, you should prepare the material: cover it with several layers of primer.
Make sure each layer dries thoroughly. After this, apply clear varnish several times, also allowing the workpiece to dry. This technology will allow the track to last much longer.
If the summer resident has a lot of wooden blocks at his disposal, you can additionally make borders - lay the blanks along the main path.
Additional structures will limit the spread of dirt and debris onto the canvas in rainy weather.
Flat stone paths
The difference between the material is the shade and variety of shapes. Plastun stone has faceted edges and angular details, which allows the master to form any ornament on the future path.
Swing
Swings in a summer cottage give joy to both children and adults. You can construct them yourself by mounting them on a tree or on a special support. Not only standard boards are used as blanks, but also tires, as well as parts from chairs.
In order to make your cottage cozy, it is not at all necessary to go to the store, since the best crafts are made from improvised materials.
Ideas for creating a gazebo for relaxation
The classic version of a gazebo with a wooden frame is always easy to implement. We will get acquainted with the most original ideas for a gazebo for a summer house with your own hands.
Summer terrace with fireplace
The main advantage of this idea is its compactness. A wooden frame will separate the place for lunch and the brazier with firewood. It is possible to build a fireplace yourself, but it is better to get advice on smoke draft from a master stove maker.
You can install the frame anywhere in the garden, but it is better to place it away from prying eyes. Stretch a mesh between the side slats and sprout wild grapes or table varieties, knotweed or clematis over it. Plants will serve an aesthetic role.
And you will appreciate the practical benefits within a month: the fences will hide the inhabitants of the gazebo from prying eyes and will scare away the evening midges.
Gazebo in the shape of a mushroom
All parts for this model are hewn logs. Six long pieces will be needed to support our structure. A frame made of wooden slats and any moisture-resistant coating are used as a roof.
When choosing a profile, it is better to give preference to lightweight materials. You can make a table and a couple of benches from varnished logs.
It is best to place the oven within the “mushroom”; summer rains should not interfere with the festive dinner. Place a platform of flat stone or tiles under your feet.
Gazebo in the form of a carriage
This model does not include a roaster and firewood storage due to its compact size. However, the idea is very original for a garden and cottage; a frame made of lightweight material will protect from the scorching summer sun, and a cozy table inside can be used for a friendly tea party.
