The garden arch will have a concrete base. Drill dig holes 1 meter deep. It is the average depth of freezing in the Moscow region. Then, at the bottom of the pits are covered with sand and gravel. Asbestos pipes can be replaced with rolled roofing material. With construction level check the evenness of the formwork, and then the mold is poured with concrete.
Now we will make concrete! The proportions are almost always written on the packaging. Add rubble. The strength of concrete depends on the ratio of these materials. Everything is well stirred with a special nozzle on the drill.
It is important not only the ratio of materials and it is important to mix well, it increases the uniformity and quality of the solution. Pour the cement into the pipes and tamp, tap, that would have come out as much as possible all the bubbles. I need the surface of the pillars to be smooth, so that the bases for the columns would stand up well. We poured concrete and wait for two days, and preferably four. But we have something to do, preparing timber. Girl with a puncher! I need deep holes for dowels. It is important for me that my unique small architectural form would serve a very long time. I prepare the top part of a bar for the top cross beams. Insert the pillars into the base, look that everything was equally. Fasten the timber with bolts, drill holes, tighten with a nut. For a timber thickness of 10 cm, it would be enough for a 8 cm bolts, and i think 6 cm would be enough. We undertake the installation of the upper crossbar. Leveling the installation. The beam is fixed with screws or bolts. Fasten the longitudinal crossbar.
Garden arch is obtained inside the pillars of 140*100 cm. With a height of 215 cm. Longitudinal bars with have width of 180 cm. Crossbars is120 cm. Insert a picture with dimensions at the end of the video. Be sure to put spacers for better stability. We are not afraid of winds and hurricanes. Now on the sides we will make a decorative lattice for beauty and climbing plants. Here we will have roses and clematis.
