Cellar in the country with their own hands

Cellar at their summer cottage - the desired object, after having grown up a decent crop of vegetables and fruit, we can nullify all the results of your work, if you do not provide them with proper storage.How to build with their own hands is a great facility described in this article.

species cellars

There are 3 main types of cellars:

• completely buried in the ground;
• half buried;
• ground.

Where are the cellar

cellar The building in the country to begin site selection.Should proceed from the following considerations:

1. If you want to save space, place it under the house or under one of the outbuildings.Of course, first dig a cellar, and then erect the building.This cellar is most convenient to operate.
2. When the size of the plot allows to build a detached cellar, then in addition to its direct purpose, it also will be an interesting element of landscape design.At the same time we should not forget that the choice of location is a decisive factor hydrogeological conditions - groundwater level, first and foremost.The best place - a hill.

How to cellar on

cottage In order to understand how to make a cellar in the country, first consider the simplest option.Such primitive nonfund cellar gardeners sometimes do, to use it for storage of imported products and with them some small part of the crop.Comprising the process of construction of several stages:

Make a sketch, which indicates the size cellar, the necessary materials and the approximate cost.

1. Started digging the pit.The optimum depth of your height.
2. Setting up the bottom of the cellar, that is,pour a layer of gravel - about 15 centimeters, sand - 5 centimeters, ramming and pour concrete solution.This element has two functions - the foundation and floor.
3. the corners of the pit, before pouring the concrete mixture, put out from the corner of the rack.After the concrete hardens the floor, contract the metal frame crossmembers.
4. To prevent soil shedding refineries frame-mesh netting with small mesh.
5. Install cover, isolate well, so as not to allow air to pass from the outside.
6. Setting up a primitive ventilation in the form of a tube.The simplest cellar ready.

Major cellar in the country with their own hands

decided to build a capital cellar in the country with their own hands, so to have served any generation, balanced approach to every step.Now consider the case cellars located completely underground.Main: construction starts when the outside temperature is above zero.

We select material

sober assessment of their financial capabilities, and then decide what to choose for the construction of its product safe:

• brick;
• concrete slabs;
• wood;
• metal.

Select sizes

Experts consider optimal the following parameters:

1. volume in its final form - 2h3h2 m, length, width and height respectively.These dimensions vary depending on the specific conditions and needs, but in any case, the length and width of the pit added by 0.5-0.6 m
2. Paul -. 0.5-0.6 m above the groundwater.
3. Overlapping ceiling - 0.2-0.3 m lowered below the freezing depth of soil..
4. wall thickness - 0.25 m

Concreting foundation and walls

selecting suitable dimensions for himself and dug a pit, proceed to fill the bottom of the pit with concrete:

1. aligns the bottom of the pit, strictly controlling the horizontal level of the building.
2. Fall asleep gravel, then sand moist.Carefully ramming.
3. blanketed sand-gravel cushion roofing material - horizontal waterproofing.
4. Fill the base with concrete mortar.
5. Set on the perimeter of the steel rods with a pitch of 100 cm and wait until freezes base.
6. For vertical welds rods or rebar tie wire horizontally, observing an interval of about 300 mm.
7. Setting up a solid formwork.Check the verticality.
8. poured concrete cellar walls immediately evenly around the perimeter, or else there will be mounting joints that weaken the structure.
9. applied to the walls of bitumen mastic or adhesive roofing material - vertical waterproofing.

Information : sometimes a polymer film for waterproofing is placed in the formwork and then fill in the walls.

Important: to provide sufficient density of the concrete and the walls of the cellar are not formed the air sinks, constantly stir the concrete mixture during pouring.

There are other variants of the device in the walls of the cellar:

1. made of red brick, stone or concrete blocks.
2. stoned logs or wooden beam.In this case, the wood is treated with special means to prevent its decay.
3. sheathe with asbestos cement sheets on a wooden crate.

sometimes make the walls of the metal, but did not avoid problems with temperature.

cellar ceiling for

To cover the cellar used different materials:

• concrete slabs;
• solid wood or timber;
• metal profile and others.

supports for the ceiling are the cellar wall, so its dimensions must exceed the square the room beneath.This important phase of construction is carried out in the following sequence:

1. Placing the channels with a focus on the walls of a greater length at a distance of 0.5 m from each other.
2. welded first perpendicular and then parallel to the metal reinforcement profile so as to form a square with a side of 250 mm.
3. We arrange wooden formwork.
4. 2 Enter asbestos pipes for air extraction and ventilation and electrical box with padded wire in it.
5. Mount rigid struts, the purpose of which overlap -predotvratit deflection by pouring a solution having a lot of weight.Props set in such a way that each has an area of ​​about one and a half square.m.
6. sealing the casing to prevent leakage of the solution by pouring.
7. poured concrete, filling all the space in between channel-reinforcing lattice.It follows that there was not one empty corner.In finished form the overlap is a plate, the maximum height is 0.3 m. Freezes this cooker for about a month.
8. insulated overlap with roofing material or other insulating material.We fall asleep
9. ready ground floor, forming a mound or do roof.Since the overlap we've got a very strong, it can serve also as the foundation for the construction of a small cellar buildings - pogrebnitsy made in the form of house, pergola or to arrange input otherwise.

sequence of manufacturing concrete floor set out in this video:

above described process is independent of the concrete slab cellar, but if there is the possibility of using construction equipment, buy ready-made concrete slabs.In this embodiment, one disadvantage - the cellar dimensions have to limit the size of plates.

Dig a cellar in the country the manner described above can be only when the water table is low, and if a high level, then this option is, of course, will not work.For areas where the water is near the surface, a good solution is to build a bulk cellar.

How to build a bulk cellar with their hands

This cellar type is performed in 2 versions: a storage shed vegetable, it is also called land and poluzaglublennym.

Select one of the options depends on the level of groundwater.Used in this case, an interesting national method:

1. Buryat pit depth minimum of 1.5 m makes sense to do it in the spring, when the water in the ground is sufficient..
2. Check through the day, if there is water in it.If the water appeared - can be built only on the surface of the cellar, otherwise - it is possible to lay and poluzaglublenny cellar.

Building ground cellar

If it turns out that the level of humidity too high, then there is no choice but to build above-ground cellar, desired climate is supported in it by the layer of earth that collapsed cellar.Schematically, the construction process is as follows:

1. Choose a place on the hill.
2. Make markup and remove soil layer at a depth of perimeter 40 cm.
3. Venturing, increasing the perimeter of 30 cm on each side.
4. poured into the pit drainage, iebroken bricks, gravel, sand and just debris, rammed.
5. Setting up a floor made of bricks.
6. perform wall.As the material for them will suit small diameter logs, boards, slabs.Of course, wood is treated to protect against rot and pests.
7. close up the gap.
8. cover the outside of the wall with mastic asphalt and paste the roofing material.
9. Mount hardwood floor and daubed it with a mixture of clay and straw.
10. coated with mastic glinosolomu and cover with roofing material.
11. Fall asleep layer of soil, which are sowing lawn grass.

Building poluzaglublenny cellar

Most often build poluzaglublennye cellar in country houses, photo taken at different sites, show how you can beat this version of the repository, making it one of the elements, blends harmoniously into the design and decorating the site.

expediency poluzaglublennogo cellars device justified the high level of groundwater at the site location, when less than 1 m can not be deeper.The algorithm is:.

1. Cooking pit depth of 0.7 m
2. Setting up a brick or concrete base.
3. erect walls to a height of 0.22 m, while not forgetting to leave one of them opening to the front door.
4. us isolate the bottom and walls.
5. constructs overlap, which is easiest to do from 5 cm thick slabs, then:

• pour a layer of clay;
• sheltering two layers of roofing material;
• covered with soil to a thickness of 0.7 m;
• obkladyvayut structure turf.

6. Insert the door being built above the canopy, do steps.

Below is an above-ground cellar sketch:

here:

• 1 - pillow of crushed stone, broken bricks or sand;
• 3 - ground;
• 4 - a mixture of clay and straw;
• 5 - a waterproofing;
• 6 - fatty clay, playing the role of the castle;
• 7 - floor made of bricks set on edge.

This cellar is possible to attach to the house or garage, then build only have 3 walls.

Construction of all these cellars requires considerable physical effort and the availability of free time, but there is still one option that allows you to significantly speed up the process.It is a cellar made of plastic.We consider in detail the advantages and disadvantages.

Plastic cellar for questioning

Plastic cellar -. This camera with a maximum wall thickness of 1.6 cm Form meets different.There are constructions with or without stiffeners.Differs and integration of separate products: they may have a cover, shelves, stairs, finished the ventilation system.. Popular sizes - 150h150h150 and 200h200h200 see

Design Advantages

Advantages of this design are expressed as follows:

1. The location is chosen, where it is convenient to the owner, rather than depending on the location of groundwater.
2. installation is very simple technology compared to traditional device cellars, aseliminating the need to perform many operations.
3. on the caisson are not changes in temperature and humidity.
4. It does not settle the microorganisms and pests.

Cons caisson

Before deciding to purchase the plastic cellars, consider, whether you are satisfied with its disadvantages:

• considerable cost, cost 25 percent more expensive made with his own hands;
• standard sizes;
• if set incorrectly, the high ground water can displace it from the pit.

Tips experienced

order not to regret the purchase made, listen to the advice of people who already have such happiness as plastic cellar for questioning:

• pay attention to the quality of the material, check the certificates, GOST and other documentation;
• invite experts to install;
• to monitor the quality of work is good to have a friend of a professional in the extreme case of a person not connected with the working teams;
• to protect themselves from the problems, enclose with the installer a contract and pay attention to the guarantees which they provide.

cellar Manufacturers

Plastic cellar can be bought or ordered.For example, Russian company "Aqua Hold" lets cellar in 3 versions:

Cellar BARS

1. rectangular plastic 10 mm thick.

2. Cellar in the second embodiment a cylindrical tube made of polyethylene, spiralnovitoy with a wall of at least 2.5 cm, height of the client.

3. The third cellar, rectangular, cast, fabricated using rotoformovochnogo machine.It has reinforcing ribs and protruding bottom that reliably protects the caisson from the ascent.

Cellar TINGER

Good cellar plastic factory produces polymer products "Tingard".The main advantage of TINGER cellar is that it has no seams, which means that it does not threaten the penetration of groundwater through low-quality connection.

impossible to build a cellar in the country, not knowing the basic principles of its arrangement.Useful knowledge on this subject is divided into the author of this video:
