Veranda with his own hands

Extension to house not only decorate your country site, but will also enjoy a delicious meal in the open air in all weathers.Not to beat around the bush, immediately proceed to the step by step instructions of building a veranda with their own hands.

Tools

• hammer;
• 4-meter level;
• anchor truck garden;
• drill;
• circular saw;
• shovel;
• wheelbarrow;
• rope;
• chalk.

Layout

diameter cantilevered formwork future verandas will be 3.6 m Note the distance from home to the place where will be located the central backup -. 1.8 m. At this point, hammer the peg.Tie a rope to it with chalk on the end (or just holding it in his hand) and draw a circle with a radius of 1.8 m, and the second - 1.2 m (or mark it on the ground with what you are comfortable).Do not forget to use the auxiliary pictures and videos to a veranda was built with his own hands right from the start.

Now it should be noted places for each of the eight supporting pillars.The first peg hammer to the right of exit from the house to the porch (on the line previously marked by a circle 1.2 m).Further, anti-clockwise, pull the rope at 45 degrees - drive in a second peg.Again, pull to a 45 degree angle, hammer a peg.So eight times.Last peg hammered the left of you out of the house to the porch.As a result, you should have so that the distance (45 degrees) between pegs 1 and 2 covered doorway (Exit to the veranda).Let the rope in a circle, tying it to each of the 8 pegs.

central pillar

Dig a hole (hole for pole) depth below the freezing ground - about 1 m (1.5 m in the northern regions).Above the hole, place the finished pipe diameter of 25 cm. For these purposes, you can use a gutter or a special casing.Before you pour the cement into it, cut the tube so that its top edge at the "lay" formwork.Prepared concrete pour up to the top of the pipe.In the center of the bolt insert a length of 10 cm (upside down).

remaining pillars

Now dig a hole depth of 1-1.5 m in place of each of the 8 pegs.Put them in casings with a diameter of 15 cm so that they are 8 cm peeping out of the ground.

Aligning props

to build a veranda gave a perfect result, accuracy is important.Before filling concrete into the pipe, the pipes need to install special backup upward so that they form sides of a square.Pour pipe number 1 and 3 (the first face of the future square (1-3-5-7)), then 5 and 7 (the second face) - odd messages.Further, even - 2 and 8, then 4 and 6 (second square (2-4-6-8)).Filling solution pipe, make sure that they are arranged so that later turned out 2 squares (see. Photo).

Decking

Using screws and openings in the backup, attach to each of the 8 pipes produced vertically arranged bars.The height of each of them must be at the level of the central backup.Further, the outer side bars 8 boards need to attach such a way that stepped square (1-3-5-7), each side of which consists of two boards, as shown in the picture.Further boards 16 need to make a second square (2-4-6-8), but so that it was not within the first faces of the second - the angles are just on the outside (as pictured).As a result, you will have the 8-gon - foundation formwork.

leading board

Then you will need 8 boards leading formwork (1.8 m), each of which, starting from a central column, crosses the point of each corner 8-gon.Each board is sitting at an angle of 45 degrees from the neighbor.It is worth noting, 4 of 8 beams have a peculiar form of the central struts (as shown) - for a tight fit.

to the construction of the porch with his hands failed, use the provided drawings.They will help in the next step - end beams.

End beams

If everything was done with the utmost precision, the end of the beam ends should be cut according to the diagram to fit in with the leading boards.Be guided by the rule "Measure twice, cut once."

When all end boards are installed, check the exact position of the leading at the junction (in the center).If necessary, touch up.

Now you need to seal the top of the board: 10 cm since the bolt is too short to climb above the boards to him by a nut, attach the second screw with a wide hat.But before that, the second bolt screw another nut and large diameter washer.And then connect.

Earth under formwork pour gravel thickness of about 5 cm.

course, wooden veranda is not ready yet.We proceed to the next step.

cross beams

in each of the 8 sectors set 3 cross beams: the first two from the center at the same distance (40 cm), the third divides the remaining space.It turned 4 sections.The first reserve as it is, share the second half perpendicularly disposed beam, the third - two, the fourth - by 4.And so with each sector.

Paul

to summer terrace, made with his own hands, had a beautiful view, you need to choose a good floor covering, such as cedar decking.Begin to stack the board with the outer edge to the inside using screws.The first row should extend beyond the end beam of 2.5 cm.

trimming

Now in place of the central bolt adjustment is required.The top end of the drive beam (center) should be cut so that was formed around the bolt circle (step).Now under the bolts and washers must be placed a large washer which lies on the top step of the beams.Cut the bolt to the required length, if necessary, screw.

How joins porch to the house with your own hands, you can see in the photo.This is one of many options.

Masking

Hide the screws fastening parts of the deck, under the special panels (use glue).

Completion

Using only 4 pieces of boards, glue and screws, make projections under columns, as shown in the photo.Install the steps that are already ready to buy at the hardware store.

long to be fooled with the roof and stand out from the neighbors, buy a ready-made roof with columns, like the one pictured, and some time later porch, made with their own hands will be ready.
