Dug with his own hands

dugout on their own plot thing necessary and useful.Most often it is used as a cool storage room for storing fruits and pieces, and sometimes simply as an interesting and unusual barn-cellar.Dug-dome perfectly fit into any landscape area.Buttresses to help strengthen the design of the door and will additionally retain the wall, as well as provide an amazing view of the mysterious building.

Preparationbags

land to build dug with his own hands, as in the photo, you first need to stock up on construction materials.In this case, we propose to build a hut on the most economical and environmentally friendly technologies - from bags with clay or even earth.Such a construction technology at home from the bags to the ground is called earthbag.

To start with the soil.You can take the normal ground and mix with a little cement in it, you can take the clay and sand.The best recipe pochvosmesi: clay + sand + gravel.Clay should take 30-40%.if you just take the land, it is necessary to ease slightly moisten.So it is better to tamp the bags.

then bought polypropylene bags of green or white, before work their best to turn out to not sticking angles.The mixture is poured into them in 2 hours.First you need to fill up to 30 cm, compacted fill up and so to the top was 15 cm. Tie the bag.It is enough to cook the bags on the bottom layer 2, and then fill the bags directly on the walls, so that they do not raise.

Drawings dugout

Before starting work, you must make a detailed drawing for the construction of the dugout with his own hands, consider the size of the external and internal diameter, height of the room.After that, preparing ground for construction works.

plot is marked, cleared of debris and leveled.Inside the contours of the future of the dugout removed the top layer of the earth, under the walls of the future digs a trench for the foundation of a depth of about 35-40 cm, which is filled with 30 cm gravel.Expect that the thickness of the wall is about 65 cm. The gravel must be thoroughly squeeze hand press.

first row of bags - is the foundation base.For the dugout will be only two rows of the base.The mixture for the foundation it is necessary to add cement fortress.Sacks for the foundation laid for the full radius of the dugout with buttresses.After the first 2 rows of stacked bags need to pour from the outside sufficiently ground to prevent shifting of the subsequent.

Stacking bags of ground

To ensure a perfect circle, it is desirable to find the center of the site, to drive a peg into it and pull the string length equal to the radius of the dugout.

Thus, it is possible to constantly check the correctness of the circle.In addition to the horizontal, each row is measured by a board slung between the parties with a level fixed on it.

Each subsequent row is placed with a slight shift inside.

According to the laid back row need to go several times from top to utrambovyvatelem and carefully level the protruding parts.The last pass should already be on the hard-packed series.

Each subsequent row can be installed using the slider.

bag put on a piece of tin, will transport it to the sheet to the point of laying, and after a fall on his seat slider simply pull out from under him.

bags must tightly sit opposite each other.Laying the bags tightly butt construction provides strength to the top of the dome.Last top bag will look like a mushroom cap.

Construction doorway

When laying the walls can not forget about the passage.For fixing the door block can use the so-called T-shaped steel anchors which must be placed between the bags 3 on each side at equal distance from each other.The plates in advance is better to drill holes for anchor bolts for attaching the door frame.

In order to build the arch above the doorway you can use plywood frame or, for example, most of the old tire.The tire is mounted on the support and the bags are stacked on top on it.As for the arch bags need to add more clay and put them as close as possible to each other.

to install a canopy over the entrance come from logs or boards impregnated with an antiseptic.Those parts of the timber that will be between the bags can be wrapped dense polyethylene.

Buttresses

simultaneously built buttresses and also with reinforcement.Bags are placed offset to buttress by could climb to the top of the dugout (see. Photo).Buttresses can be strengthened further vertical reinforcement for strength.

On each row stacked row of barbed wire.If you are planning a large dome you can put 2 rows.It provides a strong adhesion between the bags.

Dome

dome placed on top 2-3 layers of black 5-mm film and covered with earth.Earth is better to take such a consistency that she remained fertile and was a part of clay.On top of the land is covered with turf.Buttresses are covered by a plastic mesh and plastered on top, because the plastic bags can be destroyed by ultraviolet light.House dug with his own hands built.
