• matching design of the building - visor must be compatible with the design of a private house in shape and color.

We design visor

Manufacturing visor with his hands - this is a serious work, we firstWe need to determine the size of the design, its shape, design, selecting suitable materials for the base and cover, given their performance.

performing drawing visor remember that in some cases you will need to coordinate the project with the local authorities.

Therefore, to clarify this matter in advance may be right to appeal to a specialized organization that prepares construction projects.

types visors

Materials for

The choice of materials depends on how much money you planned to spend on this type of canopy structure and design.Typical materials for the frame is metal and, more rarely, wood.

supports can be used for metal, metallobeton, wood, concrete.The range of materials used to cover much wider.

gable visor mounted on the same principle, it is more preferable in comparison with the lean-to, because it has a greater wind resistance, protects against rain and more convenient to clearing snow.

Installation scheme gable overhang presented to you in the photo below.

to do with his hands visor with stands, before installing the canopy necessary to determine the location of the rack space.

for safe and secure installation rack deepened into the ground no less than 0.5 meters, hole in the ground filled with concrete or attached to the porch with the help of mortgages.

When mounting racks sure to use a plumb line to check for vertical installation.Once fully cured concrete (not earlier than 3 days) you can start assembling the visor frame.

Reference rear edge of the frame structure is attached to the wall of the house and front - to the posts, which can be more than two if necessary.
