Screw the foundation with his own hands

Creating a foundation under the house can be a very costly undertaking, because the construction companies may require for this is quite a large sum.But do not be sad, because the foundation can be created independently and thus he will not yield to the options that are created by professionals.

So, one of the best options for independent creation of the foundation is just a screw foundationwhich is also one of the simplest, but not inferior quality.

In order to create a foundation on screw piles with their hands not even any need to carry out preparatory work and to prepare the site.This technology is specifically designed for areas where installation of a full-fledged foundation is not possible or simply not profitable.

This can be a mountainous terrain or forest, where tree roots can interfere with the creation of the well, for example a strip foundation.Easy technology allows you to install a screw foundation with his own hands without the help of professional construction companies and at the same time to understand it, will not be difficult.

Layout area

now turn to the process of the creation of the foundation screw by hand.First we need to mark the desired portion of the territory, which will be the installation of screw piles.To do this, you must carry out measurements, but remember that it is extremely important to create smooth edges, since otherwise the foundation pillars converge and work will be done in vain.Once the area is marked, it is necessary to designate the place of the future foundation pillars.

This whole preparatory process is completed and further work is required.

installation of screw piles

proceed to install themselves screw pillars.In appearance it is a usual metal pillar at the end, which is mounted helical blade, which allows the pole firmly fixed in the ground and at the same time the installation process is quite simple (you just need to screw the pole into the ground).

upper end of a specially adapted for winding and has a hole in which freely fit even common scrap (you can use it to install the pile).

It is important to establish exactly pile vertically, so screw it yourself can be a very complex undertaking, or not at all possible.This task will require a minimum of 2 people.

addition with at least one person has to monitor and correct the pile, if that slope.pile length can be from 1.65 to 9 meters (choose depending on the characteristics of the ground).Spinning screw pile should be about 1.5 m (depth of soil freezing for central Russia), if the helical pile length of 2.5 m

All that remains to be done to create a helical foundation with his own hands -. It pour concrete piles, weld headroomand set the raft foundation (the top of the pile foundation, which unites and connects piles system).

grillage for fixing the welding can be used (if metal), bolts (if it is wooden), then screw the foundation with his own hands will be completed.

technology create the foundation screw is quite simple and does not require a lot of time, so to create a similar design at everyone can.Also, if you have problems and you want to learn more about how to create a helical foundation with his own hands, videos and photos to help you better understand this question.
