The abundance of street fires
The street source, again not so long ago performing a slightly utilitarian function, has now become a popular element of landscape design. The unusual design of the courtyard area with the hearth and the unique shape of the fireplace itself can transform every part
A fireplace that does not attract reverence during the daytime, with the advent of dusk, becomes a"zone of attraction"- the center around which the family gathers with pleasure. In order to enjoy the rest even more comfortable and pleasant, near the fireplace, the area is equipped with comfortable stationary seats and garden furniture.
The kind of street hearth can exist for everyone, suitable for the general taste of the house. However, based on the beliefs of ease of maintenance and access, in most cases, the foci are given a circular shape. A good way to create a colorful place with a fireplace in the courtyard of the house is quite an original covering of the site itself
The area near the fire is allowed to be tiled with tiles, covered with gravel,. The choice of materials and design methods is determined by the style of the site. The only one of the most comfortable and exciting methods of dividing the site, if the playground with a fireplace is located lower in relation to the adjacent areas of the yard
Arrange a cozy multi-level site for the site is very easy. It is necessary to remove a bit of soil and align the view. More beautiful looking and recessed foci, which are located below the level of the site near the fireplace
The recessed fireplace is suitable for all yards, decorated in different styles. The only claim to the arrangement of a fireplace is not to deeply bury the source, since the inherent effect of combustion can be maintained slightly because of the influx of fresh air. In order to ensure the necessary air circulation, the crush in the recessed center is folded with a shalash, leaving between them wide gaps and retreating for a sufficient gap through the walls.
We offer to see a couple of options for equipping the fireplace, which, in addition to direct multifunctional value, will act as a beautiful element of landscape design. Изготовленный своими руками уличный источник довольно предметом гордости его обладателя и любимым местом отдыха только семейства в холодные вечера.
Methods of furnishing the fireplace
The street source is actually its own represents a pit dug in the ground or an above-ground structure, covered with a wall of strong pebbles. Strong walls help contain heat, save the shape of the fireplace and protect the source through blowing with gusts of wind.
Variation #1 - aboveground structure
Planning to equip for the site fireplace, the 1 st, which must perform - choose the room. The source is located in the distance through sprawling trees, economic buildings and the house itself. A balanced option if the fireplace is located for a distance of 4-5 meters through the crowns of trees and in front of 3 meters through the buildings
A small elevation, or in reverse, a flooded lowland - a far away election for the sake of placing a fireplace. There must be a golden mean. It's better if it's a fairly flat platform with a good overview. After defining the location of the fireplace, we prepare the site: we clean it through the roots of plants and debris, level the appearance and design the premise of the future hearth
Usually, a bonfire is given an oval shape, for convenience, making it a diameter of 90-100 cm. In our case, an iron frame is used for the arrangement of the structure. In order to equip the fireplace with a marked area, we remove the humus discharge. In the next area you can put enough tiles, fill out with a sprinkler or arrange according to your own wish
In accordance with the intended contour of the installation of the rim, we take out a ten-centimeter discharge of soil. The bottom of the ditch is leveled, we set the frame. Along the outer walls of the rim lay in pretty rows of pebbles or concrete blocks with a wall thickness of at least 10-15 cm
Extremely thin walls of the structure are not capable of providing sufficient strength, and support for their person can not withstand the load at all.
From the decorative point of view, it is better to extract the purchased concrete blocks, which will at once perform practical and aesthetic functions. On sale it is allowed to meet blocks of cast concrete, for no reason and of natural stone. As a candidate, you can take a paving slab or even a real granite stone.
In an amicable way, for the construction of a fireplace, a masonry mortar with refractory additives must be extracted. A natural rock is better and absolutely stapled using a clay furnace solution. Lay out a sturdy construction, is also allowed, using a special glue, created for the laying of fireplaces and hearths. Formed between the iron rim and veneer and void material and gaps fill with sand, earth or clay substance
Filling will prevent in the forthcoming accumulation of rainwater and debris, thus facilitating the upbringing from the fire. Fireplace end, it remains to equip places for the sake of the seat, retreating for 70-90 cm from the boundary of the protective strip, the flying sparks will not reach much
So that the equipped street source of heavy rain afterwards does not reincarnate into a small pool, it must execute the lid. Cut it is not difficult from the cut sheet metal.
Variation #2 - recessed into the ground fireplace
For the arrangement of a stationary fireplace it is permissible to apply another variation - excavation. For the location of the future focal point, we dig a pit deep at 30-40 cm. In order to ward off storm water, for the purpose of arranging drainage near the walls of the constructed structure, we dig a shallow trench
The bottom of the pit and the trench are covered with a gravel cushion of a small fraction of 15 cm wide. In order to extend the period of the building and increase the reliability of the structure, the inner portion of the pit must be encircled by a ring of sheet metal cut. After laying out the main building of the blocks for gravel packing, we check them according to the level and we put the protruding elements under the rubber hammer
If the ring is assembled from individual blocks, it often becomes necessary to separate the individual elements. For this, a line should be drawn for the surface of the block, and then, according to the contour, chipped with a hammer and a chisel. To give the desired shape to uneven edges freely, tapping them with the hammer shank. High edge of the first row is covered with special glue for the installation of fireplaces and hearths, lay out the 2nd system. The erected construction is filled with gravel
The high edge of the structure is decorated with a decorative stone, suitable for style, who plants for the cement slurry
In accordance with the same principle, we lay the next circle. Along the inner walls of the fireplace we place a sheet of metal. The voids between the inner ring and blocks are filled with soil or sand.
Variation #3 - an economical source from an old barrel
Another variation of the arrangement of a street focus:
Registration of the site near the hearth
For the sake of lining the surrounding area suitable for any material: gravel, stone, tiles for the sake of paths. However, more flat-look flat plates of the wrong shape, laid out for the lawn in an unusual pattern. For wide flat slabs it is comfortable to evaluate the chairs, and other garden furnishings. A radial bench with backrests is the best option for the arrangement of a site near a fireplace. For the sake of comfortable admiration for an open flame, the bench is allowed to be supplemented with warm rugs and rugs, also variegated soft cushions
A suitable addition to the fireplace can also come from a similar stone measuring 50x40 cm. It will protect through gusts of wind and perform the function of a comfortable bench. Close comfortably through the fireplace to equip the room for the storage of firewood, having issued it in the same style with the platform. Decoratively decorated doworker rather organic addition of a comfortable corner
