Gas tank for giving: mini options for arranging summer cottages

Gas cylinders are a cheap solution

A red bottle with the inscription "PROPAN" is a workhorse for a gas stove in the country. Owners of houses up to 100 sq. m sometimes even heated by gas cylinders.They create installations of 2-6-10 vessels that evaporate gas into a heating boiler.

Cylinders "play" in a different class and have a very conditional relationship to gas tanks. Therefore, we will briefly talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this method of gas heating.

How to organize heating on cylinders

Buy a gas boiler and nozzles for LPG.

Reconfigure the boiler for propane-butane.

Buy and connect a gearbox, gas equipment and valves.

Build a battery of filled cylinders in a gas cabinet.

When the economy option helps

Needs an easy refueling process. There are 2 simple ways available: fill the cylinders at the station or call a tanker to the site. We connect the vessels and use a soapy solution to check for gas leaks. Actually, everything. The cylinders are in the gas cabinet and work properly.

Requires cheap installation. No earthworks and installation. No approvals and technical conditions. All you need is a gas cabinet and a gas pipeline to the house. You fill cylinders at LPG filling stations at the market price of LPG and connect them to the system yourself.

No funds for contractors. There is no more independent gasification. You can buy a balloon anywhere and connect it yourself.

Do you have a house up to 100 sq. m and there is no desire to contact the installers. Then this method of gas supply is 100% suitable. Cylinders are a cheap option thanks to self-tuning heating.

Cons of the solution: will force the owner to be "more unpretentious"

Requires a lot of tanks. The minimum gas installation consists of 2 connected vessels. One cylinder will provide gas only to the stove. And a maximum of three burners.

For heating you need up to 10 cylinders. It will take a lot of space and time to refuel. Cylinders must be at least 50 liters in volume.

Needs special storage. Cylinders are undesirable to put in the house, especially next to the stove. In the street, the vessels will freeze in winter, especially when 20-50% of the gas remains in them. At the bottom of the cylinder remains liquid butane, which ceases to evaporate.

Sometimes they try to heat the vessels - this is a direct violation of safety rules. Also, the gas cabinet should not be placed on the sunny side of the house, so that the LPG does not overheat and break the container.

Will not provide a powerful boiler in winter. In summer, a 50-liter cylinder "gives out" gas at 6-7 kW per hour. In winter, the same vessel from an outdoor gas cabinet can produce only 3-4 kW per hour. A 30 kW boiler does not pull cylinders as a class.

Calculate yourself

For a 100 sq. m needs 10 kW per hour. For a heating boiler with a capacity of at least 25 kW, a battery of 10 cylinders of 50 liters each is needed - 5 workers and 5 spares. The cylinders work in “pairs”: when the gas in one runs out, its backup neighbor is immediately connected.

Technical characteristics of gas tanks

The properties and characteristics of the tank are selected according to the climatic features of the area in which it will be installed, and the purpose of the gas tank itself (for storage or permanent use of gas).

When choosing a device, consider:

• Volume. Depends on the place of use - a private house, a cottage, a seasonal cottage or an enterprise. The gas can be stored in the tank for up to 2 years without loss of fuel performance.
• Pressure. It is determined by the purpose of the container - it is used as a tank for long-term storage or as a permanent working device.
• Dimensions - length and diameter determine the volume of the product.
• The weight. Depends on the version (ground, underground), the presence of additional protective coatings.

What is a gas tank and what is it for?

So what is a gas tank? This is a tank for liquefied gas. The volume of the tank can reach 20 thousand liters. The reservoir has different forms - horizontal and vertical, installed on the surface of the site or buried underground.

Scheme of the gas tank device

The device consists of the main elements:

Tank	Made of thick steel sheet, able to withstand a lot of pressure.
Locking devices	The tank is equipped with valves and outlets, a reducer and a pressure gauge.
Condensate collector	When the gas evaporates, the resulting condensate accumulates in a separate container.
Evaporator	This device speeds up the process of converting fuel from liquid to gaseous state.
Fuel gauge	The system is equipped with an electronic device that sends a radio signal when the tank is full.

How it works: Liquefied gas is filled into the tank. The fuel gradually evaporates and fills the manifold, creating a constant pressure. From the collector, gas enters the house through a pipeline and then goes to the stove and heating boiler.

For the first time gas tanks appeared in Europe. Thrifty Europeans still prefer them to network gas, considering them more economical. You can find many similar devices in alpine resorts and other charming places where the main gas does not pass.

How economical is the use of a gas tank? First of all, calculate the possible costs of pulling the main gas into your wilderness and compare them with the costs of installing an autonomous system. Something tells you that this point alone will show you the benefits of such a decision.

Special equipment is required to install the tank

But it must be admitted that liquefied gas is more expensive than the main one. Its consumption will depend on the area and material of the house, and on average it will take from 5 to 9 thousand rubles to heat the house.

Horizontal gas tanks for summer cottages or at home

As is already obvious from the previously listed weaknesses of a vertical LPG tank, if there is no shortage of free space on your local area, regardless of the planned ground or underground placement of the tank, you should choose a horizontal gas tank. Its advantages include:

• A larger volume of stored hydrocarbons, which will make it possible to order gas delivery by a specialized vehicle less often. Due to this, it is possible to reduce the total cost of a cubic meter of gas for a homeowner;
• Better performance due to the increased area of ​​the LPG evaporation mirror;
• The need to purchase an evaporation plant in the climate of the Moscow region is practically absent;
• On the Russian market of specialized equipment, horizontal gas tanks are presented in a much larger assortment than vertical ones;
• Vertical gas tanks for a country house, when installed underground, will require a significantly larger amount of excavation than horizontal ones. Accordingly, the turnkey installation of horizontal tanks will allow the customer to save additional funds.

If you decide to purchase gas tanks (vertical or horizontal) for storing liquefied hydrocarbons, regardless of the volume and method of placement, you can pick them up by studying the catalog of our company.Our experienced specialists also offer to order turnkey horizontal or vertical gas tanks - that is, with delivery, installation, full connection to the object's autonomous gas supply system.

How gas tanks are purchased for a country house: prices, professional installation

A large stationary container must be delivered to the land. We'll have to perform unloading work, dig a pit. The final part of the article describes in detail the necessary work steps. But you can do it differently, buy a turnkey gas tank for a private house:

The cost of a package of services, thousand rubles.	Gas tank volume, l
2700	4800	6400	9100	10000
Minimum	210	220	270	360	370
Standard	225	230	290	375	485
Optimal	250	265	325	415	425
Suite	290	305	365	455	465

The composition of the package "Minimum":

• Set: gas holder, stop valves, pressure regulator, concrete slab, gas pipe (up to 20 m).
• Delivery of equipment at a distance of up to 150 km from the contractor's base.
• Unloading, installation work, pressure testing, testing and adjustment.

The maximum price (“Luxury”) includes the following items:

• Complex of earthworks.
• Supply and installation of a condensate collection tank.
• Equipped with electrochemical protection against corrosion processes.
• Installation of a grounding and lightning rod system.

Similarly, taking into account the complex of related works, the acquisition of additional components, the costs of the project using equipment from another manufacturer are estimated.

What is a gas tank: general information

A gas tank is a container designed for long-term storage of natural gas or other gaseous substances (biogas, liquefied petroleum gas, air, etc.), but for heating purposes, the tanks are filled with liquefied propane-butane. Gas holders are used both on an industrial scale and for private use.

This autonomous system is a large reservoir for storing gas reserves, which makes it possible not to depend on the state and independently regulate the amount of utility payments for gas supply. By refilling the container once or twice a year, depending on the volume of the tank, you can safely use the gas stove for cooking and heating the house.

By volume, gas tanks are different - from 2500 to 20,000 liters, small containers are used for mobile gas tanks. Since these are devices that require increased attention, it is mandatory to install protective automation that monitors the gas pressure inside the tank, controls the distribution and amount of fuel, and is also responsible for the safety of the autonomous system. A gas tank, the photo of which is shown below, can provide gas to a large private house.

Horizontal gas tanks of large volumes

Horizontal gas tanks for a country house

As already mentioned, desire buy vertical gas tank
(ground or underground) is a forced step, dictated by the lack of space for its placement. If such a problem is not typical for a suburban land plot, the candidate for the acquisition should definitely be selected from the catalog of horizontal gas tanks. This choice of capacity is more profitable for a number of reasons:

• Horizontal gas holders
  have a larger area of ​​gas evaporation and, accordingly, greater productivity than vertical ones. Thus, ceteris paribus, the reliability of gas supplies for the needs of the equipment consuming it in horizontal LPG tanks is many times higher even without the use of evaporative equipment.
• The use of a high neck eliminates the need for additional thermal insulation of the tank walls when it is buried in the ground.
• Horizontal gas tanks are distinguished by a lower cost of one cubic meter of volume.
• Horizontal gas holders are characterized by a large volume. Due to this, choosing a horizontal tank for LPG, you will be less likely to call a gas tanker and thereby save additional money.
• Horizontal gas tanks are distinguished by a large range of models (in our catalog they are represented by a wide selection of Polish, Bulgarian, Czech, Russian brands, as well as used / Soviet gas tanks).
• Horizontal gas holders require less excavation, which saves money when installing an autonomous gasification system.

Whatever gas holders - vertical or horizontal
, new or used - you would not prefer as a basis for the gasification of your housing in Moscow and the Moscow region, the specialists of the ASGAZ company will be happy to help you with the implementation of the project, regardless of its complexity.At your disposal is not only an impressive range of models of tanks for liquefied gas, but also a full range of services and equipment required for the installation of an autonomous gas supply system. We also propose to entrust the subsequent maintenance and refueling of gas tanks to the employees of our company, which offers guaranteed high quality of all products and services at the best prices.

Not all summer cottages are provided with centralized gas supplies. Heating a house with electricity is expensive. A good alternative is autonomous gasification. If a group of cylinders does not suit you, then a gas tank will be the way out - a special tank that is filled with a mixture of liquefied hydrocarbons.

We will help you choose the best gas tank for your summer cottage. The article presented by us describes in detail all the varieties that are actively exploited in suburban areas. A detailed description of the models will give an idea of ​​the features of the installation and use of containers for autonomous gas supply.

A gas tank is not only a container for storing the fuel mixture, but also a place where the liquid phase turns into a gaseous state for further supply to the heating main under constant pressure. An important point in the design of an autonomous gas system is the competent choice of a gas tank, which requires the calculation of its technical parameters.

To determine the volume of the tank, the heated area is multiplied by the average amount of fuel used by boilers with an efficiency of 60 to 70%. It is about 17 liters for winter, when there are few days with very low temperatures.

If winters are consistently severe in the region or there are underfloor heating in the country house, the pool, the water in which needs to be heated, the estimated volume is increased. In summer or in the off-season, 3.3 liters is enough to heat 1 m².

Propane-butane, used in a separate gas supply system, has a high calorific value, therefore, it releases up to 3 times more heat during combustion than natural gas

For the operation of a minigas tank or reservoir, the volume of which does not exceed 10 tons, no permission from Rostekhnadzor is needed, provided that the requirements of SNIP regarding installation are met, and the power of the heating devices is not more than 100 kW. If this capacity does not suit you and you need to exceed it, then you will have to obtain a permit.

It is also not necessary to ask for consent from the owners of neighboring plots if communications do not take place in the immediate vicinity of the boundary. In any case, in order to avoid all sorts of misunderstandings, it is good to have a quality certificate on hand. It must be taken from the company that sold the equipment and has a license to install it.

Gas tank - what is it?

A gas tank is a storage for gaseous substances: air, natural and petroleum gas, butane, propane, etc. The tank can be compared to a conventional gas cylinder, only larger in volume. The installation of the gas tank is carried out once. The service life is 20 - 25 years with constant refueling. The owner calls a special filling machine that fills the tank with gas.

A bit of history

The first rectangular structure for storing gas with a volume of 100 liters was invented by Lavoisier in 1781. Over the years of modernization, the first cylindrical tank was built.In industry, special tanks and buildings for storing gaseous substances were used in the 19th century, from 1816. They could not be located near residential buildings. The design was loaded with gaseous hydrocarbon fuel, which was stored under high pressure, which was unsafe. The pressure was constantly regulated in wet gas holders by means of a pool of water and a bell, or by means of counterweights. By the middle of the 19th century, it became necessary to illuminate the streets with gas lamps: in St. Petersburg they appeared in 1835, in Moscow - in 1865.

The largest gas holder was built in America in 1888. Its capacity was 424.8 thousand cubic meters.

Over time, dry gas tanks with variable pressure appeared: a piston moved inside a cylindrical structure, depending on the amount of gas in it. The facilities have not been tested for safety. They were abandoned almost immediately.

Modern materials have made gas tanks safe for private use. Tanks maintain a constant volume and withstand increased pressure, up to 18 atmospheres. By placing them underground, it is possible to keep the temperature of the walls above zero. In such cases, it is not necessary to install special evaporation vessels. The gas evaporates at a low rate. This property is used to provide gas to private cottages and houses. To prevent the destruction of the walls of the housing, excessive pressure must be relieved. For this, the gas tank is equipped with a special valve.

When a gas tank is better than a main

Reasons for installing an autonomous gas tank:

• low pressure and poor gas supply in the main pipe;
• lack of a gas pipeline in a settlement (village, village, city);
• high price for connection to the central highway.

Why gas fuel

The gas is stored in tanks in a liquefied state. Such fuel is much more efficient than conventional firewood, coal and diesel fuel.

Gas benefits:

• the cost of gas is lower than the price of diesel fuel;
• when using, cleanliness is observed, without dust and dirt, which gives coal;
• the use of gas is more economical and cheaper than the use of electric heaters;
• gas is stored in special containers at a certain temperature, unlike firewood, which requires a complex loading and storage scheme in a warm, dry room.

Modern gas tank: what is it, what is the role of special equipment in the autonomous gasification system

Only in staged photos, chopping firewood seems to be a simple and easy task.

In reality, this is hard work, associated with increased injuries, calluses on the palms, and other troubles. Firewood must be stored in special conditions. It is impossible to automate the supply of such raw materials in everyday life. Similar shortcomings can be found when analyzing the characteristics of other energy resources:

• Loading wood pellets (pellets) requires a complex loading system.
• Coal is dirt and dust.
• The use of electricity for high-grade heating at the current level of technology development is not economically feasible.
• Diesel fuel is too expensive.

With a comprehensive assessment of significant factors, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion about the advantages of gas. But this option requires the presence of a nearby highway, or the organization of regular delivery of fuel in a liquefied state.Instead of relatively small cylinders (up to 50 liters - maximum), you can purchase and install a large capacity. Its volume is selected taking into account real needs.

Autonomous gasification of the dacha will help solve the problem quickly, without excessive costs

Mobile gas tanks - a temporary solution

This is a small tank or system of several gas cylinders on a car trailer. The standard volume of a mobile gas tank is 600 liters (or 3 cylinders of 200 liters each). Fully gas tanks are not filled. The actual amount of fuel is in the region of 500 liters.

The use of the construct is cyclical and simple:

bring the device to the gas station;

connect the gas tank or cylinders to the heating system.

The gas is over - all over again. Due to the small volume, refueling takes only 20-30 minutes.

Mobile gas tanks: one container (in operation) and three cylinders

What is a mobile gas tank made of?

Protective frame made of galvanized steel.

Awning protection from precipitation and sunlight.

Gas tank (or several cylinders).

Control-measuring and safety devices.

Gas tank heating system.

Collapsible connections and corrugated branch pipes for connection to the consumer.

Often mobile containers are equipped with a heating system. It maintains the evaporation temperature of the mixture even when it is minus outside.

Also, the heating system is useful if liquid butane fraction remains at the bottom of the cylinder. It can be heated and evaporated before summer refueling.

When the mobile option helps out

You have to wait for the highway. The solution is excellent if you switch to natural gas from year to year. You buy a gas boiler, reconfigure it to liquefied hydrocarbon gas (LHG) and heat it from the tank. Refueling is needed once a month or two.

You need to quickly adjust the heating. The filled tank is connected to the heating system with a couple of movements. No need to dig in the area. No approvals and permits are needed, as is the case with main gas. Only registration of the trailer in the traffic police.

There is no permanent place on the site. The gas tank can be located in the garage, utility room or just on the street. The container in the transport frame simply stands on the trailer or is removed from it with a winch.

Mobile gas tanks have the right place at construction sites and temporary facilities. Also, the container is indispensable in emergency situations. A great option for a small cottage with refueling once every 45 days.

Cons of the solution: will force the owner to be "more mobile"

Needs extra care. The gas tank can be moved manually. Accordingly, it can be stolen. Therefore, some manufacturers suggest removing the wheels while the device is running. For peace of mind, you will have to visit the site more often.

Requires frequent refills. The volume of the tanks is small - only 500-600 liters. For a 100 sq. m will need an average of 325 liters of LPG per month. That is, you need to carry a gas tank to a gas station almost every month.

In general, trips for fuel are tiring due to traffic jams. Although manufacturers have tried to make the refueling procedure as convenient as possible. In general, a big house needs a big gas tank.

Calculate yourself

House 250 sq. m need 782 liters of LPG per month. This is already a couple of trips in 30 days for a 600L capacity.

Refueling turns from a tolerable necessity into an oppressive duty. It's like filling a tub with a ladle.

The price of installing a mobile gas tank for a house of 100 sq. m

Many craftsmen assemble mobile gas tanks on their own. Installation is cheaper.We believe that fitting nanometers to cylinders on your own is a bad idea. If you want that kind of savings experience, you can search the forums.

Let's compare in terms of money the installation of a horizontal gas tank and a mobile version by contractors. For a year, our house will need 3,800 liters of LPG.

Let's summarize the topic of mobile gas tanks-trailers with such an argument as "the voice of the people". Indeed, it turns out to be quite fussy at a price comparable to the cost of a stationary gas tank.

What you need to know before buying a gas tank - features and selection criteria

Of course, first of all, you need to know the amount of gas that you will use during the year.The continuity of gas supply and its frequency depends on the correctly selected volume of the tank. Experts recommend making calculations and developing a gas supply project at the stage of building a house.

When choosing the volume of the tank, you need to pay attention to an important point. The gas tank "to the brim" is never filled, its usable volume is usually no more than 85%

It is enough to equip private residential buildings (country cottages, dachas) with tanks up to 10 cubic meters. On average, the size of gas tanks for private use varies from 2.7 to 10 cubic meters.

The choice of a sufficient tank size is influenced not only by the area of ​​\u200b\u200ball heated rooms

But, what is also important, the level of insulation of the building, the minimum and average annual temperature in the region. And also the power of the installed heating equipment and the presence of panoramic windows

The frequency directly depends on its volume. However, if the house is planned for permanent residence, the storage will have to be filled at least twice a year. This is due to the fact that summer gas has a different proportion of butane and propane than winter gas. And in order to stay warm in winter, it is necessary to use the gas composition intended for this season.

(fig. 32.1 - 10 reasons why you won't buy a vertical gas tank)

1. The decisions of the Italian engineers of the company seem weak to you Antonio Merloni Cylinders Ghergo Group S.p.A. ("Antonio Merloni")
   : in the field of autonomous gasification, compared with other manufacturers.
2. You have never compared the weight of a gas tank with the weight of containers from other manufacturers.Its impressive weight, resulting from the thickness of the tank wall and the quality of the material, which is a clear criterion for reliability and long service life, does not tell you anything.
3. You fell for the bait of advertising "Autonomous gas supply on a turnkey basis" and the difference in price categories is not in favor of vertical gas tanks Antonio Merloni Cylinders Ghergo Group S.p.A.
   , and you do not pay attention to global differences in configuration. You are not embarrassed that other manufacturers do not have:

• Two step reduction.
• Three-component anode-cathodic protection against the effects of stray and inducing underground currents.
• Protective bag "Marsupio" made of durable electrically conductive polymer.
• Concrete-alkaline base, not afraid of underground currents, loads and acid-base environment.

It does not matter to you at what temperatures the horizontal gasholder will operate in winter.

(Fig. 32.2 - Antonio Merloni leader in the field of autonomous gasification)

1. You do not trust photos and articles about the cemetery of horizontal gas tanks (). You don't care about the reasons why people get rid of tanks after 10 years and store them, thereby fueling the market for used horizontal gas tanks. You don't ask yourself the question, "Why aren't there any used vertical gas storage tanks on the market?"

1. You are a persistent person and are not afraid of "pop-up" horizontal gas tanks. You are not afraid of the work to eliminate the "floating".
2. You are not afraid of additional costs for installing evaporators to horizontal gas holders for gas evaporation at temperatures below -20º.
3. You completely and completely trust your friends, neighbors and relatives who have installed horizontal tanks and claim that they have no problems with autonomous gas supply.
4. The minimum payment today is important for you and the service life of the equipment bought for this money is not important.
5. You trust the more hyped products, the heavily advertised hardware, rather than the better-spec hardware.

These reasons separate our paths in different directions, but if you still need a really reliable and high-quality autonomous gas supply system - come back ... and who knows, you may not find yourself on the list of reasons "AGAINST".

Other equipment must also be of high quality.

Savings in quality come at the price of failures and huge repair and maintenance costs. This principle also applies to accessories.

The absence of a condensate collector, which is equipped with all AvtonomGaz gas holders, will at best lead to a gas supply shutdown in cold weather. In the worst case, it can cause a fire.

A gas pipeline made of PE 80 grade polyethylene will have to be replaced in less than ten years. It is not designed to work with propane-butane and quickly becomes unusable. Unlike other companies, AvtonomGaz installs a gas pipeline made of PE 100 polyethylene, which costs a little more, but does not require repairs five times longer.

Do not use a hollow slab of ordinary concrete to install a gas tank. In five years, it will collapse and the reservoir will “float”. We need a massive slab of acid-alkali-resistant concrete - this is exactly what AvtonomGaz uses.

Another important detail is the bellows compensator. It helps to avoid damage to the gas pipeline if the house has risen or settled due to swelling of the soil. AvtonomGaz always installs it, while other companies often ignore it.

Vertical gas holders for a country house

Vertical gas holders for a country house
have a smaller capacity. The only argument on the basis of which the customer should choose a vertical gas tank for 1000 liters or a larger volume is the lack of space available for its placement. If your land plot is not impressive in size, there are other objects near the house, and at the same time gas consumption at the gasification facility is seasonal or short periodic, use vertical gas holder
appears to be a reasonable and rational choice.

It is worth remembering that the evaporation mirror of a vertical gas tank is three to four times smaller than that of a horizontal one. Therefore, for high-quality operation, such models require additional costs for the purchase of LPG evaporators and especially high-quality thermal insulation. Otherwise, the low productivity of gas evaporation, which is especially strong in the autumn-winter season with significant frosts, will not allow for the normal operation of gas consumers in the house. Exactly because of this reason vertical gas holder for a summer residence
installed in a utility room or a compact extension of the cottage, and if this is not possible, it is installed underground to a considerable depth (depending on the volume - up to 4-5 meters).The dimensions and specifics of the execution of a vertical tank for liquefied gas implies a significant amount of excavation, which affects the final cost of installing such a gas tank.

If you are planning to install vertical gas holder, Russian
tank would be the best choice. This is due to the fact that European-made vertical barrels, with rare exceptions, do not provide for the possibility of reliable and high-quality operation at temperatures of -30°С ... -35°С, which are rare, but occur in our latitudes. And if you are not warmed by the prospect of being in the most severe frosts without gas and heating, we strongly recommend that you follow our advice and prefer a domestic-made gas vessel.

Arrangement of cottages with corners of relaxation

A favorite place in the summer cottage - a corner of relaxation. Customize it according to personal preference.

Forms of arrangement of recreation areas:

• gazebos with barbecue;
• pergolas (open gazebos) entwined with climbing plants;
• benches located in the picturesque corners of the site;
• specially equipped grottoes;
• open hearths with a sofa group around them;
• terraces near the house;

Hanging hammocks and swings are installed in the shade of trees.

Alcove

Traditional materials for the manufacture of gazebos: wood, timber, logs, forging. In building supermarkets, you can buy collapsible ready-made structures. Having certain skills in construction work, they can be made by hand. Including from improvised materials (irregularly shaped wooden logs treated with impregnations).

Pergola with climbing plants

Forged gazebo for evening gatherings

Sequencing:

• Determined with a place for installation.It is better if it is a shaded area, close to the water outlets.
• They draw a sketch of the gazebo on a scale, the material is calculated from it.
• Prepare the foundation. Remove the top layer of soil, make a pillow of gravel, sand.
• Before pouring the foundation, load-bearing structural elements are installed and concreted.
• Then the foundation is poured with a cement-sand mixture.
• Mount the rafter part of the roof, then the side, non-supporting elements.
• Install the roof.

Arrangement of a summer residence with an open hearth

As a floor covering, a wooden board with moisture-resistant impregnation, tile under natural stone is more often used. A barbecue (stationary, portable) is installed at such a distance that the heat from it does not spread to the recreation area. A stationary barbecue is installed in large gazebos.
