If you order the production of the well on an individual project in the landscape designer, the building is unique and fits perfectly into the interior of the garden, but prohibitively expensive.

The materials used in the construction of

Raw materials for manufacture of the well of the bowl, with or without a canopy, selected the most diverse:

• A rock. Any stone structure looks monumental. The base can serve as a ring of concrete - they are used in the construction of the "real" wells. The structure can be made entirely of stones or wooden elements. If you decorate it with bright colors, come out beautiful, original. As used lining colored stones of various shapes, including artificial.

• Wood. Wooden well for suburban area is easy to do yourself. Wood - the material available, easy to handle, environmentally friendly, durable. Its the easiest way to enter into the interior of the garden, and if you are carving skills on the tree, a small set of tools, you can create a miracle. Wooden buildings in need of protection from moisture, rot, mildew, so their cover stains, varnishes, special inks. Apply for work logs, sticks, rough planks, boards, branches and so on.

• Brick. Decorative well red brick creates the effect of an old - it is even possible to issue respectively. The design turns out quite heavy, because it is desirable before installing pour a strip foundation, otherwise the building over time has a chance to become distorted or "go" deep into the ground. Instead of bricks and cinder blocks are used, which are faced with tiles.

• Other materials. You can use any available items for manufacturing base: waste tires previously color them, metal columns for racks. Small well make wickerwork, pine roots and even wire. Used for decoration of ceramic and glass mosaic, decorative plaster. Iron is placed inside a barrel, the plastic container, the old large pan.

Master class with their own hands

There are very simple types of wells that have the power to make even a child. But step by step we will look at the production of decorative wood with their hands well with six corners. Such as in the picture below.

Materials, tools, drawings

From the basic raw material used lumber or boards. Details, carved out of them, need to be covered with a special protective structures, paying special attention to the ends.

Of the tools required:

• jigsaws;
• saw;
• gouges;
• drill or screwdriver;
• fasteners - screws and nageli;
• square and roulette;
• Hiller.

To save time and material is desired to make the most detailed drawing. Phased manufacture of pre-designed guide will go faster. Below is an exemplary diagram of a well. The dimensions and proportions can be any - it all depends on your imagination.

bottom assembly

Wood materials mark out, leaving the labels for slots slots, according to the drawings. Sawn wood should be perpendicular to the fibers, and to beat the slots in parallel, so that no burrs. At the bottom of the well slots on the bottom and top parts do with one hand, and on the other - with two to conveniently interconnect. That the edges are processed beautifully, with the chamfer boards, and all the excess to the compound had no cracks. For stiffening tip to the top of the bolted another board or bar - there will be fixed "collar". In places where they plan to mount the rack, cut grooves.

Racks and roof

Boards or boards for the manufacture of racks, mark smooth transitions or geometric patterns - as you wish. Contour cut out using a jigsaw, but if we apply the grinding cup to the drill, the edges come polished. Racks are fixed with screws. The upper part in the form of their partial zapilivaetsya angles support webs bonded via ChOPov of wood.

Holes for the screws are drilled and ChOPy slightly smaller in diameter that the fastening member is maximally dense. All elements of the roof: rafters, roof rails, the holding plate zapilivajut angle, according to the drawing. The dome also make slots. Rafter pairs reinforce with adhesive. "Umbrella" decorate bars, better to start from the bottom, can be secured with nails, bolts, screws. At the end mounted decorative domes.

Production buckets and deck

Deck - round timber, which is attached to the rack with the help of wooden pegs. A bucket is made of several plates, of the same shape and size. Their ends are treated with glue, spread horizontally, the "face" up. That there were no changes, can be fixed with adhesive tape. Next, the preform is twisted cylinder, leaving to grasp. Bedplate excised, corresponding to the internal diameter of the ring, drilled holes for fasteners. The resulting container can be further contracted by two strips tin. Bucket gather - instead of pens will be a decorative cord, a beautiful chain. Individually look deck and bucket, look at the picture below. Now the design is put together, it can be painted in any color, varnished.

If the well is relatively small and light, it is advisable to put it on a concrete foundation and fasten to a strong wind turned the design.

decorative design

Dressing well as its general appearance must match the style of the suburban area. When a large part of the plot takes a vegetable garden, then built around the well break a miniature garden with a seating area, a rock garden.
