Bungalow with your own hands

Bungalow is great for temporary accommodation during construction full house.But even after the completion of major construction works cabins will remain out of work.It can be equipped for a budget holiday house, a place to store various equipment, work clothing, bicycles and other household accessories.

Ready cabins are relatively inexpensive.But why spend the money if a similar structure can be erected on its own, buying only the necessary materials and tools?Your attention is invited to the instructions on the arrangement of huts made of wood, the finished trailer and metal sheets.Select the desired option and get to work.

Planning recommendations

Bungalow is a secondary utility room, but do notrefers to the process of its construction and everything too lightly.

To start, prepare a drawing.You can do it yourself or find a finished version in the available sources.Plans will allow you to see how the finished building will fit into the surrounding landscape, as well as to calculate the necessary amount of building materials.

dimensions of the structure and its layout try to trim at its own discretion.As a general rule, industrial design, intended to stay, have a length of about 5-6 meters, a height of about 2.5 meters and a similar width.The rest of the house in relation to the size and layout guided by their own needs and preferences.

Choosing a place for the construction of cabins

When deciding where to take into account our house a couple of important points.

Firstly, we think we will be in the future somewhere to carry design.For example, you are going to build a light house for a couple of seasons, and then remove it to another place.If the move is part of your plans, the shed is best to place as close as possible to move away from the area.

Second, determine the appointment of the premises.If the cabins will be used only as a barn to store various tools and other household supplies, it is best to set about in the middle of the long side of the main house, so that it can be easily reached from either side of the site.

Tip:If you do not exclude that in the future will change house converted into a bath, build it in a remote nook area, mindful of fire safety rules.

Making base

foundation we will be the same for all three huts.An exception will be unless the finished trailer on wheels - you can not build a foundation for it.

reason to do the following:

• get rid of the top layer of fertile soil;
• rammed bottom and walls of the excavation received;
• pit was covered with geotextile;
• pour on top of the geotextile layer of sand and carefully tamped it;
• we arrange symmetrical cinder blocks on the resulting cushion;
• wrap each bearing a layer of roofing material.

Important!If you plan to attach to the cabins small porch, consider the installation of supports for it at the same stage.

build wooden shed

start building the framework of our cabins.First wooden beams laid around the perimeter of the structure of the future, as well as its center for added reinforcement design.

connects the opposite side of the beam.To this end, the fastening lugs with sill timbers.Joining can be by any suitable means.Well proven connection method for tongue and groove, with metal corners and anchors.We have pre-made samples for connecting elements and further reinforcing the bonds place with nails.

Mount vertical angle and intermediate racks.Intermediate supports are installed with meter increments.To do this, use the bar section 15x15 mm.Do not forget to leave an opening for the door.For reliable connection frame elements using metal brackets and screws.At this stage we set the supporting pillars for the porch of the future, if its presence is prescribed cabins design.

Important!The height of the vertical supports on the back and front sides of the cabins should differ by about 50 cm. This difference will ensure optimal roof pitch and it will not be delayed precipitation.

Mount bar top trim.The support posts of our cabins are of different height, so it works as follows: first beam laid on the tops of the higher poles, after associate low rack and set perpendicular to the lateral cross him.The connection is made according to the method already familiar with the samples and nails.

As a result, our framework will be divided into a number of rectangular sections.To strengthen the structure connects the opposite lower and upper corner of each such section the struts of the boards.

Fasten truss beams to the top of the roof sheathing.We use the most flat board, to make it easier to do crate in the future.Rafters assemble with step 500-600 mm.We pay special attention to the strength of the connections on the roof beams overlap.

roof are building so that it protrudes slightly over the frame border.This will allow us to build on the back of the cabins the foundation for drainage, and on the front of the visor mount.

material for finishing roofing choose at its discretion.For example, well suited ondulin.His laid overlapping, starting with the bottom of the ramp.Before laying Ondulina should lay a solid crate from the boards and attach the waterproof film over them.Instead Ondulina can use slate or other material of your choice.

Bungalow of construction trailer

I do not want to mess with the frame assembly and other related activities?You can buy ready-made van and equip it under the shed.These trailers do not even need their own foundations - just need to carefully align the site and install container (trailer).

If you equip a shed a used trailer, please read its status.Clean rust, replace badly damaged cladding elements of the same, is welded to the through-hole patches, metal cover special primer and paint.

Installed necessarily insulated design.Other arrangement is at the discretion of the owner.These issues will be discussed separately below.

You can also buy a trailer on wheels.Option mobile and very easy to use.After all the activities on arrangement of the trailer, it is installed on the frame of the trailer.

shed being built from metal sheets

frame construction of metal sheets will require more effort compared with the erection of a wooden counterpart.But iron cabins serve much longer.

kit includes the necessary tools:

• hammer;
• welding machine;
• drill;
• screwdriver;
• Area;
• grinders;
• brush;
• staple gun;
• roulette;
• hacksaw.

also buy the following materials:

• profiled tube size of 2x2 cm, 4x2 cm, 4x4 cm and 4x6 cm;
• DIN rail 2x4 cm;
• galvanized sheet steel;
• profiled;
• primer for the metal;
• screws for fixing sheeting;
• screws for metal;
• staples for staple gun;
• rivets;
• OSB-plates;
• assembly foam.

Make

base frame Base will collect from the pipe sizes 4x6 cm. Cut the pipe in accordance with the size of the structure is building.

welded pipes on the external dimensions and obtain a rectangular border.In total we need to do 2 of the same rectangle.From one we will make the floor of the upper part of the other cabins.

To the floor was secure, create a grid inside the rectangle of the same profiled tubes.We do shed a width of 250 cm. With such dimensions enough to weld inside edging 2-3 longitudinal pipe for the whole length.Transverse pipe welds every 50 cm.

Then take a galvanized sheet and fix it with the screws to the bottom of our cabins.Overturn the base and laid it down on a sheet of galvanized support from the cinder block or just lined pad.By the cinder block construction can not mount - cabins will be sufficiently retained its own weight.

Mount Rack

vertical support pipes make of 4x4 cm. Cut it into pieces in accordance with a planned height of cabins.Normally, it is equal to 250 cm.

first exhibited at the corners of the support structure on the base of the previous stage.Check that the angle at the junction with the base rack was strictly straight.

screed rack fix welding.Similarly exhibit stand on the remaining corners.

Additionally we will need to set intermediate rack.To do this without breaking the geometry of the structure, we take the second rectangular base of the pipe, made in the previous step and put it on top of the corner posts.

scald produced "cube" intermediate struts and braces.Please take proftruby pieces of 4x4 cm in height and upright design of welds between the lower and upper base.Recommended installation step - 100 cm. At this stage envisage an opening for the door.

welded horizontal crosspiece in a circle of the support structure.The pipe should be welded to the uprights at a height equal to half the height of the cabins.

Spacers do from a profiled pipe 2x4 cm. Cut it into 30-centimeter pieces.Each edge of the workpiece is cut off at a 45-degree angle.Scald Get struts all design angles.In addition, the floor can scald them.

Making roof

We made the lower part of the frame and the wall.Next we engaged in manufacturing of "skeleton" of the roof.

Farms produce in the form of isosceles triangles.Use pipe 2x4 cm Recommended installation step farms -.. 1 m in length are welded their frame.The roof trapezoidal sheet reimplemented.You can use other material of your choice, if desired.

All metal frame elements covered by special primer and apply paint the desired color after it dries.

Construction cabins

window mount and doors (better to buy them off the shelf).It is desirable that the window had a hinged design and there were at least two - do not have to waste time on installation of additional ventilation.Getting further arrangement of our cabins.

Making floor

first are building a rough floor boards, treated with antiseptic.Spread them as close to each other and are attached to the frame with screws.

top of boards spread a waterproof film.Fasten it to the joists using a staple gun with staples.

nailed to the bottom joists more for laying insulation and fixing the second layer of boards.Laghi fasten with a pitch equal to the width of the selected insulation material.For warming the floor is well suited mineral wool - a relatively inexpensive and time-tested insulation material.

Puts insulation in the space between the joists.Top fix a layer vapor barrier material.This will help us again stapler with staples.

Puts finished floor boards.Fasten them to the joists using self-tapping screws.Finally, cover the floor varnish or paint.

perform outer skin

cabins-trailer can be left without skin, but the construction of wood or metal will require a mandatory exterior trim.Do not leave, we just "naked" frame?

tight fitting waterproof film frame.Carefully sizing strips joints waterproofing tape.For wall cladding fits many different materials:

• wooden boards;
• composite panels;
• siding, etc.

Choose at its sole discretion.Also very nice looking cabins, trimmed block-house.

Important!The plot frame allotted for the porch, not sheathe.

Finishing

In the space between the frame uprights laid insulation.Harboring a layer of vapor barrier material.Vapor barrier is attached to the frame suitable manner.
