Many developers after the device wells or wells think about how to arrange the object so that it blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape and looks attractive. The protective construction of this type of well looks very good, in addition, it will reliably protect all components of the structure.

In this review, we will look at how to make a decorative well with your own hands.

Main types of finishes

The first thing that needs to be solved before the work begins is the design features, the style of execution and the materials to be used..

The most common options for such buildings are as follows:

• Wooden decorated wells in the style of old Russian towers or log buildings. In this case, a bar, log or block house is used.
• Stone buildings also have their own charm, giving the object the mood of antiquity and reliability.
• Objects made of brick will be perfectly combined with brick buildings, creating an ensemble on your site.
• Combined options are a combination of two or more types of materials: for example, a stone is perfectly combined with a dark wood, recalling the style of a chalet. Red brick looks great with a light wooden shed and so on.

Wooden wells

Without a doubt, the most common and popular design, because it has a number of advantages:

• The low price of the material - there is a lot of wood in our lane, so it’s easy to choose the right type.
• Simplicity of work - in order to arrange a well or a well, no special tools are needed, a hacksaw, a measuring tool and a screwdriver with screws are enough.
• The versatility of wooden structures - you can do your own building structure in a variety of styles, which is not available for other materials.

One of the most common solutions is log wells. Such a construction can be erected both from real logs and from their imitation.

The technology of construction is quite simple:

• Decorative wells covering wells should be located on the foundation or screed. Reliable base - a pledge of strength and durability of the design.
• If you want to make the base even more stable, for the lower crown it is better to take oak logs.
• If the structure imitates a log, then first a frame is made, which is securely attached to the concrete with anchor bolts, and then it is sheathed.
• If for the work will be used rounded or square timber, most often the elements are ready, and they can only be assembled.
• After the assembly, it is necessary to process the structure several times with a protective composition, after which it is possible to carry out the decoration of the well by staining with different colors, artificial aging of the tree, and so on.
  

Tip! To make the surface in the old style, it is necessary to first treat the wood with a grinder and a wire circle along the fibers, and then lightly burn the surface with a gas burner or blowtorch, and you should not overexpose the fire in one place. After that, the surface is covered with a protective coating.

• To increase comfort, the structure is usually equipped with a canopy, the shape of which can be the most diverse: single-slope, double-slope, four-sided and multifaceted.
• If the structure closes the well, then the roof, in principle, is not needed. In this case, decorative manhole covers are often used, which can be of a wide variety of configurations. Sometimes a bench is made around the building where you can sit with your family on summer evenings.

Stone and brick wells

The following features are inherent in this material:

• High strength and durability, estimated in centuries, such decoration of the well looks solid.
• Accessibility - you need only a little stone for a well, and you can assemble it in the nearby fields, the brick also costs quite democratically.
• Decorative stone on the well is also used quite often, especially. If you need to decorate a concrete ring, then this material will be the easiest solution, because it is enough to glue it to the surface.

Works on the arrangement of such structures are no different from other masonry works, but it is worth remembering that it is very difficult to lay a stone because of the incorrect configuration of the fragments and their rounded shape. Therefore, the use of bricks greatly simplifies the work, but the surface does not look so original.

Remember that it is better to fix both natural and artificial stone using a special cold-resistant adhesive, which should be prepared as recommended by the instructions. Too thick or too liquid consistency complicate the work and worsen the strength characteristics after drying.

Tip! After completion of the work should wash the surface of the stone, then cover it with a special composition that will emphasize the structure and natural beauty of the material.

Well, of course, the classic version is a stone or brick base and a wooden shed, the materials emphasize each other, and such an ensemble looks very attractive. Moreover, due to the fact that the tree can be painted in different colors, you can give the design the desired stylistic mood.
