foundation-extension veranda.

basis porch light - an extension to your structure may be support bars, fixed on the walls of your home, or foundation bollards installed around the perimeter of the future an attached porch.Both types of supports can be combined.

Before the start of construction, examine the area under the porch area.In some cases, light pier foundation can not do and you have to build a solid concrete base.However, in our story, we confine ourselves to the veranda, which on the one hand rests on the support bar, and at its center and the outer edge of the base will serve as support posts.

Required tools

To begin the construction of our porch light, we need to stock up on the following tools and building materials:

• -metal pipe, of which will be manufactured bearings,
• -ingredienty for the concrete mix: gravel, sand and cement,
• -krepezh: metal angle, self-tapping screws and nails,
• -Adjustable anchor bolts,
• -boards width of 15 centimeters and a thickness of 5, we will allow them to lag,
• -good treated board topcoat porch floor,
• -50-mm cube for porch fence,

Tools: glasses and gloves, saw, circular saw, screwdriver, hammer, building level, mixer for concrete.

Step by step instructions for the construction of a veranda-extension

Initially check the platform on which you are going to build an extension.Given that our terrace will be open - always provided under its drainage system, that is, you should compact the soil under the veranda and make it to the slope for the water current.

Set

the presence of a strong wall, which is adjacent to our building, it can be used as a crutch, came to her wooden board support.

Please fasten the board with a minimum width of 5 centimeters to the supporting wall.

After strengthening the base plate is placed on the edges of the marked area, wooden veranda "rags" to help us in the construction.These structures must be installed outside the marked boundaries of the terrace.

We stretch on marked boundaries veranda strong thin rope.Control the correct markup size for this stretch the two more rope diagonally and is calculated by the Pythagorean theorem the existence of right angles.If the angles are not fixed, then transfer the stakes with twine until until we achieve the perfect geometry.

The layout created with the string is transferred directly to the ground.In addition to the diagonals, and define the midline of our terraces, on which we will install one of the lines of support pillars.

foundation extensions

ready to install the supporting pillars.We prepare for them well.The distance between supports should not exceed one and a half meters.Dig or will drill the hole depending on the needs of the supports, their depth should be about one meter.At the bottom of the pit is placed gravel bed about 10 centimeters thick.Place a pre-napilennye pipe into the hole, locking their vertical position with the help of boards.

Fill the gaps between the tubes and the walls of the pits with concrete mix of 1 share of cement, 3 share of sand, gravel fractions 5 and the required quantity of water.We expect pour concrete solution for three days.To pour in a vertical position is not compromised pipe - fix their braces as shown in the figure.

If you are interested in more information about the construction of the foundations on clay or on other surfaces to read it on our website in the basement!

After the formation of the required number of supporting columns proceed to the next stage of the construction of the porch light.

Now back to our support board.Fix the bar below it at 75.

then derive the level of future floor veranda - saw off the extra part of the vertical pillars, comparing its actions on the construction level.

The next step is to fix the vertical pillars of support beams.Use the board 5 to 15.

reconcile the upper surface of the support bars with the help of a spirit level.

Placing the logs

transversely mounted support bars need to install lag.They are fixed to the supports by the metal mounting brackets.Just as in the case of supports can be used here on board 5 15. lag Fix corners with a distance of 40 centimeters.To set the log planks - from the design of the center towards the edges.

Installation lag check their horizontal position with the help of a spirit level.It is also working to ensure that they were strictly perpendicular beams support.

sheathe the sides of the porch

Using the board, sew up the sides of the porch foundation created, it will create additional protection for the foundation of our extension.

stele floor veranda

As a floor covering can be used by many types of material on our veranda.The most popular for this purpose on the market today is the decking, it is also called "decking".She has a special impregnation and resistant to precipitation.However, you can do the usual, well rounded boards and independently, soak them in an aseptic solution.When fixing the floor boards, verandah extension, leave small gaps between them.This prevents accumulation of water on the floor and damaged flooring.Maintain required clearances can simply inserting nails between the boards when they are locked.Speakers edge of the verandah edge boards must be cut off.

Create fencing

So far we have done only half of our veranda.In order to make it safe - it is necessary to construct the fence.In principle, ready fencing kits can be purchased at building materials stores, but you can save money and do it yourself.For the manufacture of fencing you need a bar 50 mm (from it we will do balusters) and thinner - 25 mm - on the grid.

balusters Optimal height - 0.9 meters.Cut off their ends at 45 degrees, and attach them to the floor verandah metal corners.Arrange them with a distance of 0.9 meters.We reserve the one hand span, which will be adjacent to the porch stairs.

Using the board, attach the balusters to the two rows of stops - at the top and at the bottom.We recommend setting the lower board at 0.3 meters from the floor, an extension of our veranda.

Create a fence bars.Using a thin bar is cut into his high-rise fences.The top edge can be cut at an angle of 45 degrees.The distance between the bars can be 10 centimeters.

So, quite simply, one can construct a veranda extension.Now it is possible to construct a ladder.To do this, you can also use a ready set of building materials stores.During the construction of private veranda, you can adjust its size, according to its own considerations.
