scheme

At the beginning of the construction of carport needprepare drawings, mark the proposed site parking at their summer cottage, align it, remove the top layer of soil to 30-45 cm. The most commonly poured concrete foundation on a gravel pad, which can be reinforced by one or two loops of reinforcing mesh.You can use a regular hard-packed gravel.Also car parking space spread paving stones or tiles.When pouring the foundation in him immediately mounted inserts, which will be attached the supporting pillars.How to make a carport with your hands, you can see on the following photos.

frame assembly of wood

to create the most simple, lightweight, durable canopy is more convenient to use a wooden frame.What are the details needed for the construction of a canopy, will design drawing.

To do this, buy boards made of hard durable wood species.Of course, the most robust and resistant to the precipitation material is larch, which only increases their strength characteristics from moisture.

But larch expensive material, so for a more cost-effective solution can be used pine or spruce boards that require a more thorough treatment of the protective impregnation and antiseptics.

In our case we set the canopy adjoined to the wall of the building.Such a structure is easier to do on your own, because of the design is based on the house.To frame devices are marked places for installation of supports, or they are mounted in an already installed inserts.On the supports must be pre-prepared grooves for mounting horizontal beams.Supports disposed near the wall, using a power screwdriver further fixed thereto.The supports are set opposite each other, first with one side and then the opposite.The number of poles and the pitch between them depends on the length of the car.

Once you have checked a vertical line and supports the heights you can begin laying them on the horizontal beam.The pre-mounted to both beams fasteners to secure the crates at the same distance from each other.

first beam is placed on the support into the slots on the part of the wall and checked on the horizontal level.

Then fixed to the wall and supports with anchor bolts.On the opposite side of the beam even further and is held by spacers (see. Pictured), which at one end are fastened to the supports and to the other beam.These works will be the best assistant screwdriver.

on beams stacked horizontal cross battens.By the beams are fixed by fasteners.

The cross on the outside have to go outside of the beams 10-15 cm.

For more extreme fortress pair of beams are joined by additional struts.

As a result, should get a solid stable frame.At the end of the protruding ends of the cross bars are closed boards.

thoroughness and attention to detail will help you build a beautiful and convenient carport in the country with their own hands.

device roof

canopy can be covered with any roofing material: metal, polycarbonate, Ondulin, trapezoidal sheet.In our case, we decided on trapezoidal sheet.

sheets stacked on a beam and fasten them with screws.

to seal the joints with the wall it is mounted aluminum strip, and the gap between it and the wall is filled with sealant.

to prevent moisture from getting inside, the sheets are stacked with overlapping and sealed.
