Metal garage for a car with his hands

Garage Metal car - it is a relatively cheap and quick solution to the parking problem, and its design is simple enough so that you can build a metal garage with his hands.The design and dimensions of the metal garage can be quite different, from the capital of the garage of the metal sheets with a viewing hole to the movable metal garage on runners, which can be moved without dismantling if necessary.

metal garages Advantages:

• Building in less than a month;
• price significantly lower than the capital structure of the blocks or bricks;
• ease of design compared with a brick or block garage saves money on construction of the foundation;
• Metal - durable material that requires minimal maintenance.

design metal garage is usually simple: a frame made of metal brackets, which are welded iron sheets.The base may be formed slab or strip foundation, as well as metal runners, if you want to move the garage.A metal garage can be insulated by a foam sheathing inside wood or sheet metal and even install heating, furnace or electric.

necessary materials and tools

To build a metal garage with his hands, you must first draw a drawing with all dimensions.Dimensions of the garage should take into account the conditions of its operation: simply to put and keep the vehicle width enough car with doors open if the garage is planned to store spare parts and carry out maintenance of the machine - you need to expand its dimensions so that the garage entered workbench, shelves and drawers for storagetools and other necessary items.

From the materials and tools required:

• concrete and reinforcing rods or finished concrete blocks for the foundation capital or metal pipe with a diameter of 10-15 cm for the implementation of the runners;
• Metal Area 50 mm;
• Sheet metal thickness 2-2.5 mm;
• welder and electrodes;
• Bulgarka, cutting and grinding wheels;
• hinges, bolts and locks for gates;
• boards for flooring and Congress in the case of performing strip foundation or garage on runners;
• primer and paint for metal constructions.

technology construction metal garage

1. In accordance with the drawing markup operate the site.If the garage will be on metal runners, cut off enough on the court fertile layer to avoid rotting of organic matter under the floor of the garage.In order to build capital foundation necessary to remove the top layer of soil at 40-60 cm, and fill the area with coarse-grained sand, it will help prevent frost heaving of soil under the garage.In addition, sand well drains water from the basement.
2. Perform foundation: mark out land for strip foundation with the help of pegs, string, tape, and polygon.Do shuttering of boards, and the above-ground part of the foundation should be above ground level at 30-40 cm. The formwork is laid a waterproof film, it is possible for this purpose to use a conventional polyethylene.Stack two rows of reinforcement rods 8.10 mm in diameter, linking them together by transverse and vertical segments and annealed wire rod.In the corners of performing anchor rod 16 mm - for them will be attached garage frame.The height of the anchors - a minimum of 30 cm from the top edge of the foundation.

3. ready-mixed concrete from the cement, sand and gravel with a ratio of 1: 2: 2.Fill the concrete formwork, level it and leave until completely set.After setting, you can begin to work on welding the frame, however, the industrial strength of the concrete will get no earlier than 28 days.

4. If used as the base metal runners, then cut two lengths of pipe with a diameter of 10-15 cm along the length of the garage, and one slice operate at a right angle, and the second - at an angle of about 45degrees.The second small corner welded pipe segment so as to form a bend upward as in sled runners.The ends of the pipes brewed themselves runners cover bituminous waterproofing for corrosion protection.
5. floor in the garage, standing on the foundation of capital, can be concrete or wood, for a garage on runners floor is done only from the boards.Concrete formwork is filled as follows: align and ram sand, which filled up ground, placed him waterproofing layer, for example, polyethylene film.On top lay a reinforcing grid.Paul poured concrete brand M300, leveled on beacons and await its solidification and maturation for about one week.Floor of wood placed on the wooden joists, laid on the bottom frame.Boards necessarily treated with wood preservative, operated in contact with the ground.The Congress of the garage door is also made of planks.

6. frame garage brew from the metal bracket.The first weld along the perimeter of the lower frame and the foundations welded by spot welding it to the anchors.After that, the corners of the rack mounted brackets, angle outwards, are welded to the bottom of the frame and anchors, and perform upper frame, which will serve as a support for ceilings and roofs.If the length and width of the garage significant, the additional strut is welded at a distance of about a meter from each other.Krepjat stiffening ribs of the rebar, privarivaya its diagonal walls crosswise.Perform frame gable roof from the corner: cut rafters, welded them to the place of installation racks.Skate strengthen ridge beam of the corner.

7. By plating metal garages better start after the concrete maturation, since the weight of the structure after this will increase significantly.Metal grinder cut the size of the walls and the roof and welded to the corner and screeds spot welding.After fixing all the sheets boiled joints.
8. garage door frame is welded from the corner, further bonding structure reinforcement welded along the diagonal, and the corners of the sheet metal.The hinges are fixed to the gate by welding.For gate wing does not buckle, can be strengthened frame with wooden bars.Sheathe the gate from the outside sheet metal, privarivaya it to the frame.

9. metal garage can be insulated.The easiest way to do this with foam or polistrirolnyh panels, fixing them with a wooden cross bars between columns of walls.From the inside insulation can be plastered and painted.
10. From outside the garage necessarily dyed.Before painting it is necessary to clean up the metal from rust, apply a coat of anti-corrosion coatings, dry it, and then cover any enamel or paint for metal constructions.

metal garage is a sufficiently hard structure, and its manufacture requires the use of welding and some skill.If you want to build a lighter structure without the use of welding machine, we can build a garage of metal sheets.
