Good afternoon, we continue the topic cottage design. And today I want to show you how cute cozy corners of relaxation(patio-courtyards) can be created in your summer cottage. Quiet recreation areas can be in the smallest summer cottages ... and their design depends on your imagination and our photo tips. Today you will see in vivid pictures the cutest ideas for organizing a recreation area..
Nuggets - recreation areas behind the FENCE WALL.
It happens that you want to retire ... and it’s not interesting to put a powerful fence between your own and the neighbor’s plot (firstly, the shadow is superfluous, and secondly, the neighbors will think that you don’t love them) ...
And then you can build on the site like this boxes for country fiesta… with walls ... cubbyholes in the corner. Design and create a cozy place to relax. in the form of a box with pergola roof And plank flooring.
You can just to the wall of the house fit fences from horizontally stuffed boards(as in the photo below). Fill a patch of earth concrete screed... put a wicker deck chair, small garden table and a pot of green plant. As you can see, the size of the summer cottage does not matter - no matter how small it is, you can make a cozy corner for relaxation with your own hands.
Can such a mini-courtyard in country garden enclose with a wall one and a half meters high and even make a closing gate in this fence ... Sprinkle the earth with small gravel - from concrete slabs build something like a corner bench. A soft pillows they will turn the cold concrete bench into the cozy softness of the sofa ... Next to the fireplace-hearth and you're done. I already told.
Can serve as a hotbed ordinary flower girl- We put it on a concrete pedestal and pour coal.
If the place allows such a recreation area, you can make more - for a noisier company. The concrete bench is longer and there are more pillows. Sprinkling with crushed stone - perennial grasses with soft foliage and a hearth. It turns out real backyard patio.
And how to do wooden fence for the patio design of the recreation area on the site, I will tell in a separate article.
If there is very little space on the site ...
Then you can make mini-recreation areas - for summer relaxation. Here in the photo below we see that even if the neighbor's fence very close to the wall of our house, then we can still do cozy design such a mini-courtyard.
The best attributes for creating a quick miniature patio design are lattice pergolas, crushed stone, and flower pots (as in the photo below). Even the smallest country cottage area can become part of your fairy tale.
You can space between the wall of the house and the neighbor's fence pave with floor tiles ... or paving, laying it beautifully with herringbone like parquet (photo below).
And in order to become more comfortable in such a cramped recreation area ... and smell of nature, you need plant high evergreen firs along the neighbor's fence (photo below) ...
...Or arrange a live hedge of suitable shrubs(as in the photo below).
There is a small gap between the bathhouse and the shed ...
design ideas for a small summer cottage.
It happens that the site is very tiny ... or already crammed with vegetable gardens and greenhouses ... and then a very small piece of land is left for the recreation area, squeezed between the wall of the house and the wall of the garage (or other yard building).
Well, even this small place can be turned into a piece of country paradise. A small blind area - made of concrete and flat stone ... Vertical club in a square frame from small green plants - looks like a picture on the wall ... Garden furniture ... A barbecue oven attached directly to the wall of the house ... And a few sconces on the wall... And as a roof we stretch the usual awning fabric- it is attached to 4 fasteners with hooks - yes on each wall.
Or over such a recreation area between summer cottages you can do retractable roof. How to make such a roof from a cable and metal rings, I told in the article
And here's another idea of how to profitably fill the space between the wall of the house and the neighbor's fence (photo below). We make the fence higher, due to the fact that we nail a PERGOLA-LATTICE to it ... and then let some plant wind along it ...
We put a bench with pillows with our back to the pergola ... we put a wicker garden round table ... several ottomans. And next we create a dining area under a canopy from a high pergola-rack with a roof on cables (photo below, on the left).
BEHIND THE STONE WALL... the relaxation area of the mini-courtyard.
Or you can not fence off such a recreation area in a summer cottage wooden partition- and STONE MASONRY.
We build a wall of brick and veneer it with decorative facade stone. It turns out beautiful almost antique patio area design.
By the way in the stone wall you can make a MINI-CLUBMA. That is make a void-cavity in the wall ... pour earth into it ... and plant bushes or mini-trees(as in the photo below) it turns out stone hedge for your mini patio.
Or a flower bed can be attached NEAR stone wall - in the form of a long wooden box ... fill it with earth ... plant bushes ... sprinkle with decorative white gravel on top, arrange garden lanterns with candles ... beauty ...
Or in such a stone wall you can make a NISH-HEART ... that is, to make a through shelf - with a small recess for coal ... in the evenings you can make a fire there and comfortably sit on the sofas and talk by the warm fire.
PASSIVE REST zone - on a sunny summer cottage.
For those who like to soak up the sun - you can do solarium areas in the allotment. Also fence small sides of brickwork with lining underneath a natural stone. And put up sun loungers.
Recreation area - WITH A METAL FENCE AND VASES ...
That is (as in the photo below) - stone vases serve as a kind of supporting pillars between inserts sections of forged railings. On the curls of forging the fence you can start curly flower- and plant high perennials of our latitudes in flowerpots. It turns out a very cozy little nook for a summer cottage area.
Or you can just make more flowerpots - then you don’t have to order metal fences, you don’t have to spend money.
These are the recreation areas for the design of a small suburban area, I picked up for you today. But the topic cozy places for a dacha fiesta, I don't finish. That's why…

- 2 wooden bars 50 * 50 mm (will serve as transverse beams).
Process all wooden parts protective agent, dry them well.
Dig 4 holes with a depth of at least 60 cm. Install support bars in them and pour concrete.
Wait for the supports to dry completely for several days. Attach the horizontal beams to the supports.

Nail the transverse beams on the upper horizontal crossbars at a uniform distance with nails.
Brazier from a metal barrel
In order to be able to fry kebabs in the country, you will need a barbecue. And it is also possible to make it yourself, for example, from an old metal barrel.
First you need to make a layout, then cut off the outer part of the barrel with a grinder, while the ends should be left. From the cut off part, by welding loops and handles to it, you can make a lid.
