Discussion on the constraints of WPC gazebo size and appearance style

As a kind of outdoor landscape leisure pavilion, the plastic wood pavilion(WPC gazebo) is a new category.

There were many types of pavilions in the past, such as landscape pavilions mainly made of solid wood, ancient pavilions with stone as the main component and supplemented by tiles, bamboo pavilions made of bamboo materials, and after industrialization, outdoor pavilions with reinforced concrete structures. , metal pavilions such as aluminum alloy pavilions and so on.

Looking at these different types of pavilions, they come in various styles and have unique appearance effects. In practical applications, the style and temperament of the project design determine what type of pavilion is used.

The outstanding advantages of the plastic wood pavilion(WPC gazebo) are its excellent weather resistance and maintenance-free characteristics. In addition, it has a wood-like appearance and feel. Therefore, it is more suitable than other types of pavilions for use in scenes with more natural scenery, such as next to a park pond. In the leisure area at the corner of the plank road, the leisure area in the middle of climbing in the forest park, etc., the plastic wood pavilion can better integrate into the surrounding scenery without destroying the overall style. In addition, it does not suffer from the problems of solid wood pavilions such as insect infestation, regular maintenance and painting, and rot. Wait for the question.

When using plastic wood pavilions(WPC gazebo), their size and style are often restricted by plastic wood profiles and cannot be arbitrary or the range of choices is huge.

Judging from the development over the years, the styles of plastic wood pavilions(WPC gazebo) are mostly in a simple and simple style, and the sizes are often on the small side. Considering the structural conditions of plastic wood pavilions, their styles are often made of There are three main types: four-corner plastic wood pavilion, hexagonal plastic wood pavilion and plastic wood gallery pavilion. Other types are considered to be less suitable for the design, processing and installation of plastic wood materials.

Generally speaking, the projected area of the plastic wood pavilion(WPC gazebo) is about ten to twenty square meters in most cases. The structure of the four-corner plastic wood pavilion is simpler than the hexagonal pavilion, and the size design is less difficult, but its structure is simpler. The projected area rarely exceeds 30 square meters. Of course, if it is designed as a plastic-wood gallery and pavilion structure, the length direction can theoretically extend all the way, so it is not necessary to discuss the size of its projected area, but its span is the same in terms of design. restrictions.

The most critical factor restricting the size of the plastic wood pavilion is the span between the plastic wood columns.

If different materials have different mechanical behaviors regarding their properties, span is the actual representation of a mechanical property.

Limited by the size of commonly used plastic wood pavilion materials and lining square steel materials, the span of plastic wood pavilions on the market today is usually more than two meters, more than three meters, or up to about four meters. This span data It is directly restricted by the size of plastic wood columns and plastic wood beams and the lining square steel material. For example, the usual size of plastic wood columns is 200200mm or 180180mm, and the lining square steel is 120120mm or 100100mm. Commonly used plastic wood beam sizes are such as 20080mm or 18080mm, and the square steel lining size is about 80*60mm. In this configuration, the span span takes into account the weight of the plastic wood pavilion. Based on historical experience data, The span is usually around 3.5 meters.

If the span is increased to 4.5 meters, you may find that the beams have sagged slightly after installation.

As for the style problem of plastic wood pavilions, they are restricted by the molding production and wood processing of plastic wood profiles, resulting in most plastic wood pavilions tending to be simple and plain styles.

Plastic wood profiles are produced continuously and have fixed cavities. Considering the cost and the pressure and weight caused by the overall weight, hollow thin-walled structures are often adopted. In the plastic wood pavilion, between the various components The transformation and modification mostly rely on the lining of steel, so there is less space left for the surface pattern decoration of the plastic wood profile. A slight surface texture treatment can be done, but its fineness is still very rough.

And unlike solid wood plastic wood, which can be easily tenoned and carved, and different from the modeling and painting of brick-concrete structures, plastic wood pavilions are also lacking in detailed decoration and beautification after completion.

To sum up the above points, in view of the constraints of the structural style of the plastic wood pavilion and the performance indicators of the plastic wood profiles, the size of the plastic wood pavilion is generally not very large, and the style and appearance are also simple and simple.

Of course, it may require huge costs to change these two aspects, such as increasing the specifications of plastic wood columns and plastic wood beams. However, we know that the increase in specifications may increase the cost geometrically. Is there still market space? Survival is also a problem, and in terms of style, if you cannot find some new techniques that are economical, durable and anti-aging, such as plastic wood carving, plastic wood painting, plastic wood pattern hollowing, etc., there will also be situations where the cost of upgrading will not be ideal.

Therefore, plastic wood pavilions of this style and size are formed on the market today.
