In short: Gazebo with a stove No. 25-24 is a glazed wooden gazebo with a dark hip roof, with a stove inside and a stainless steel chimney rising above the roof. Sliding glass covers two sides, a covered terrace with profiled columns runs around it, and the whole structure is raised on piles. The size, finishing and equipment are agreed with each customer individually.
A gazebo with a stove: warm in autumn too
An ordinary gazebo is most useful in summer. When the evenings cool down and in September and October it turns damp outdoors, even a glazed gazebo without heating gradually gets cold. A gazebo with a stove pushes this limit much farther: with the sliding glass closed and a fire lit, you can sit comfortably in it in late autumn, on a cold spring evening and even on a winter day.
In this example the stove is clearly visible through the glass. It stands right by the front glass wall, and its chimney pipe rises straight up and goes out through the roof. This solution lets you watch the flame both from inside and from outside: in the evening, when a fire burns inside, the gazebo among the pines looks like a lantern.
The photo was taken in spring, on a sunny day. The gazebo stands at the edge of a pine forest, in a meadow where dandelions are in bloom. Traces of sand and construction can still be seen around it, so it is clear that the building has just been finished. Tall pines rise in the background, their trunks reflected in the glass.
The pine setting suits such a gazebo especially well. In summer the trees give shade and the scent of resin, and on cool evenings the warmth of the stove is felt all the more. On the right, behind the gazebo, you can also see other wooden buildings, so it becomes part of a larger recreation farmstead.
A heated gazebo often becomes the meeting place of the whole farmstead. You can sit down here after the sauna, warm up after a walk in the forest or spend an evening with friends when the house is too cramped. A stove gives not only warmth but also that special coziness which no electric heater can replace.
The stove behind the glass and the chimney above the roof
The stove is dark in color, with a metal chimney pipe rising vertically from it. Above the roof the chimney is extended with a stainless steel pipe with a protective cap on top. The point where the chimney passes through the roof is one of the most important details of such a gazebo, so it has to be planned before manufacturing.
When ordering a gazebo with a stove, it is worth discussing in advance:
- the position of the stove – by the glass, as in this example, in a corner or by a closed wall;
- the distances to wooden walls and the ceiling – they depend on the stove you choose;
- the base under the stove – the floor must be protected from heat and embers;
- the height of the chimney – especially when tall trees grow around;
- firewood storage – it is convenient when the wood is kept dry, near the gazebo.
The stove and the chimney must meet the manufacturer’s requirements, and their installation is best entrusted to specialists in the field. Then you can enjoy the fire in peace. Laukbaldis will make the gazebo so that it has a place for the stove and for the chimney passage according to the solutions you agree on.
The stove position by the glass has its own charm. Sitting at the table, you see the fire together with the view of the pine forest, and outside, on the terrace, you feel the warmth coming through the glass. If you want the stove to be less visible from the yard, it can be placed by a closed wall – this is decided together with the whole plan of the gazebo.
A pile foundation
This photo shows, from a rarely seen angle, what the gazebo stands on. The whole structure is raised above the ground and rests on a row of piles – in the photo you can see their orange and gray round tops under the floor frame. The piles are placed under the entire base, so the load is distributed evenly.
A pile foundation has several advantages:
- it suits an uneven or sloping plot, because each pile can be leveled separately;
- there is a gap under the floor through which air circulates, so the wood does not touch damp soil;
- in sandy soil, as in this pine forest, it is a simple and reliable solution;
- you do not need a large concrete pad.
Later the gap between the ground and the floor can be covered with a trim board, planted with plants or filled with crushed stone. Which foundation to choose depends on the soil, the size and the weight of the gazebo, so this question is best discussed when you call.
The photo also shows that the ground under the gazebo is uneven – in places there are mounds of piled sand, in places grass. It is in such places that a pile foundation lets you build a level gazebo even where the plot slopes slightly, without digging or filling in soil.
What the photo shows
The table lists the details that are clearly visible in this typical example.
| Feature | In the photo |
|---|---|
| Stove inside | Yes, by the front glass |
| Chimney above the roof | Yes, stainless steel |
| Hip roof with gutters | Yes |
| Sliding glass | Yes, at the front and on the left |
| Covered terrace with profiled columns | Yes |
| Closed wooden wall | Yes, on the right |
| Pile foundation | Yes |
Glass, terrace and columns
The sliding glass takes up the whole front and the left side. Its frames are dark, and the panes are so large that the view of the pine forest enters the room almost without obstruction. The right end is clad with horizontal honey-colored boards and stays closed – it is a convenient place for a cabinet or a shelf.
A narrow covered terrace runs around the glass. Along its edge stand profiled columns with carved sections, joined to the roof beam by diagonal braces. The roof overhang is fairly wide, and underneath it is covered with a board ceiling, so looking up from the terrace you see a neat wooden finish.
The terrace here is not wide, but it is enough to walk around the gazebo under the roof, to put a couple of chairs or to leave a basket of firewood by the entrance. Because the floor is raised on piles, the edge of the terrace is somewhat higher above the ground, so it is worth planning a step or a few stairs at the entrance.
The roof has a low pitch and gutters that collect water from all the slopes. This is especially important in a forest, where the roof is often sprinkled with needles: the gutters will have to be cleaned, but the water will not run onto the terrace or wash out the sand under the piles.
What to discuss when ordering a heated gazebo
On its website Laukbaldis shows only typical examples, and the size, finishing and equipment are agreed individually. For a heated gazebo it is worth thinking through more than usual:
- how many people will sit at the table and how much space will be left around the stove;
- whether the gazebo will also be used in winter – the power of the stove and the airtightness solutions depend on that;
- which walls will be glazed and which closed;
- whether you will need electricity for lights and sockets.
The location of the gazebo on the plot matters too. It is convenient to build a heated gazebo where firewood is easy to bring and where smoke will not blow toward the windows of the house or the neighbors’ yard. If a forest grows around, also discuss the distance to the trees, both because of the chimney and because of falling branches.
If you are looking for even more warmth and relaxation on your farmstead, take a look at the gazebo with a sauna under one roof No. 23, the glazed gazebo with trunk columns No. 24-3 and the gazebo with a terrace and a chimney No. 25-20. You will find more examples in the section wooden gazebos, and saunas and summerhouses in the section saunas and summerhouses.
Care and ordering No. 25-24
A heated gazebo is maintained much like any other, with the stove and the chimney added. Before the heating season, check the chimney, its passage through the roof and its tightness. Use the stove according to the manufacturer’s instructions and burn only dry firewood.
After the heating season, air the gazebo well, clean the ash out of the stove and check that the chimney cap is undamaged. Such simple tasks do not take long, but they help the stove and the chimney serve for many years without trouble.
Inspect the wooden walls, the terrace and the columns every spring. A pine forest has a lot of shade and dampness, so the north side may dry more slowly, and the coating there may need renewing more often. Clean the tracks of the sliding glass of needles and sand, and the gutters of needles and pine cones.
