Ayunda have an obsession to have a blank bale (Balinese gazebo) to relax in the afternoon. However, the yard is very limited, not enough to put a small gazebo.

It was not just Ayunda who has such an obsession. Having a blank bale is great, because it can be used to eat food or to just sit together with family. But, again, limited land become a stumbling block to create a bench staring at the house.

The solution, create a blank bale in places other than the page, such as in the garage the car, at no laundry near or above the terrace. As done in this house, bale blank “stepped up” to the front porch.

Whole wood
All parts of this blank bale-well-structure and floor made of merbau wood in seal with politur. Why use wood merbau? The first reason, merbau wood waterproof and resistant to termites; suitable for gazebo outside the home. The second reason, of merbau logs easily found in the form of bars intact, unlike other wood species such as camphor or bangkirai. It is important, because at this gazebo, poles using a wooden fruit intact.

To cover the roof, used reeds tied to bamboo. Rows of dried reeds arranged in piles and very tightly to form a thickness of more than 20cm. With this thickness, a leaky roof is not easy. Some craftsmen gazebo ignore this, the weeds are not too tightly drawn and thick that the rain water easily penetrated.

In Dak Beton
In addition to blank bale structure itself, other things must be noted is the structure of the terrace, especially the columns and roof terrace. Because the load is heavy (have to bear the blank bale and people), should the roof terrace with casted concrete 10-12 cm thick (the same as ordinary floor not thick). Concrete is also serves as a foundation, where the “plant” the pillars of the gazebo structure.
