At the moment, for a comfortable relaxation in the fresh air to a private house, it is customary to add premises, namely: terraces and verandas. The terrace is an extension standing on a separate foundation, which is open from all sides. The veranda is an additional not heated room, which can be operated not only in the summer, but also throughout the year. How to build a veranda from the bar and attach it to the house, what stages of construction and what you need to know before the start of work? About this in our article.

Stages of design veranda from timber

Before starting construction works You need to make a project planned veranda. Not only the quality of the extension and it depends on appearance, but also reliable design, service life. That is why it is important not to produce every nuance out of sight, because it may be decisive.

We choose the type of construction

Before making an extension drawing, you need to decide on its appearance and constructive features. Depending on the various signs, the verandas are divided into several groups, while determine the desired type, orienting not to the appearance, but the convenience of operation.

Depending on the adjustment to the private house, the veranda may be:

• Facade.
• Angular.
• End.

When choosing a location of the veranda, it is necessary to take into account the fact that it should be protected from wind and precipitation, but sunlight It is welcome here. In addition, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the soil and place an extension where it is stronger. Also, the verandas are divided into groups depending on the fence:

• Open - Summer Veranda (Terrace), where you can relax only at good weather.
• Closed - in this case, the veranda surrounds the fence, glazing, walls or just curtains from all sides.
• The combined veranda is equipped with sliding mechanisms, as a result of which it can be transformed, both in the open and closed veranda.
• Heated.

Choosing materials

When choosing finishing materials there are no restrictions, because to determine the style and general design The verandas must owner a private house, focusing only on his taste and financial opportunities. Since the main parts of the extension are made of timber, it is better to leave them open, preference to the village style, adding it to wrought-iron objects and paintings. The wooden veranda is a presentable and durable extension that will serve for many years and will delight its environmental safety.

Materials that will be needed to build construction:

• Sand, crushed stone and concrete - foundation.
• Metal fasteners.
• Bar.
• Antiseptics for wood.
• Waterproofing.
• Wall structures (polycarbonate, glass, etc.).
• Door designs and windows.
• Roofing material.

We compile a draft future extension

Now go to one of the most responsible preparatory stages - Creating a detailed drawing, which will later need to legalize. To draw up a plan, you can contact the specialists or using computer programs to do it yourself. A more traditional method - drawing a project on paper.

The information you want to display in the drawing:

• The location of the extension is relative to the house.
• The place of entry into the veranda.
• Location of windows.
• Dimensions.

Obtaining a construction permit

The compiled project should be assured in the relevant control body, having received permits. Construction can be engaged only after that. Documents that need to be provided in the management of architecture and urban planning:

• Document on the ownership of the site.
• Project made amendments.
• Statement of the owner.
• Written consent attributed to people in the house.
• Conclusion about fire safety.

In addition, you need to check the SES check, otherwise an extension is considered unauthorized and for it you can get a fine. Ultimately, the an extension can be demolished, since the owner will not have property rights on it. There are cases when the owner of the site is not able to sell it, to make or donate, since one of the buildings was not documented. It is prohibited from deviate from the certified project, since the change in the parameters of the veranda annuls its design.

Laying foundation

If the preparatory and bureaucratic stages are passed, then it's time to move to the construction of an extension, which begins with the construction of the foundation. The house and veranda must have a common foundation, but if the housing is built before, the foundation will have to connect special fasteners. Based on the weight of the structure, the tier or column foundation is selected.

The pile foundation can be organized as follows:

• Note places for supports by making a step between them about half a meter.
• Drop the pile pits, the depth of about 1 meter (the exact depth depends on the height of the foundation of the house).
• Create a "pillow" of sand and rubble, thickness - 0.15 meters.
• Pour the concrete and set the support poles so that the top edge edge corresponds to the foundation height of the house.
• Credit piles with a soil of sand layer.
• Implement the rigid clutch of the foundations after shrinkage.

Floor veranda of timber

To create an outdoor coating on the foundation, you need to make the bottom strapping, laying the timber in the perimeter, connected by the "swallow tail" and metal fasteners. The lower strapping is the basis for fastening the support beams of the frame of the veranda and flooring. Step between wooden lags - up to 1 meter. If the veranda is an open type, then the lags are laid under the minimum angle so that there is a natural outflow of water.

Perpendicular to the lags need to install a larch board and connect the Schip-groove method. With the base, they are binding to self-drawers with the help of beammers or directly through the board. Between the walls I. outdoor coating It is necessary to leave the gap of 1 centimeter, given the temperature deformation of the tree. Do not forget that the wood must be previously treated with antiseptics and impregnations, and after installation is covered with varnish or paint.

Walling

For the frame assembly, you need to take the support poles from the bar, whose cross section is 120 * 80 millimeters. Poles need to be put in the corners of the veranda, and then between them in a half-meter step. On the lower strapping, supports are attached with steel corners. Supports at the wall of the house should be higher to form the difference in the height of the walls, so that it will get a single roof design. You can increase the stiffness of the structure by connecting the columns with horizontal beams, which will continue to support the windows.

Building roof veranda from timber

The construction of the extension roof includes a truly system and roofing material. As for the coating, it should be the same as the main construction or glass. If the roof is constant, then the ideal solution will be a single design, as it is inexpensive and easy to implement. The connection of the roof with a wall of the house needs to be protected by special metal straps.

Roof construction stages:

• Installing Mauerlat on the upper strapping.
• Installation of rafters, the distance between which depends on the severity roofing material and extension sizes.
• Perpendicular to the rafters are installed racks of the crate.
• Laying thermal insulation and waterproofing film.
• Installation of roofing material.

You can start the veranda to the veranda of the veranda from the log or timber than a year after the construction of the house. During this time, the walls of the house will fall and can already be attached to them directly the framework of the future veranda. Frame house It practically does not give a shrinkage, so the veranda can be built in parallel with the construction of walls.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the size of the veranda. Usually the veranda takes one side of the house, which has the exit "into the yard". The comfortable width of the veranda is at least 2.5 meters. On such a veranda, you can put a spacious table and relax a big cheerful company.

Foundation

The foundation for the construction of the veranda can be used both tape and column. The weight of a wooden veranda additive to the house is not significant, so the massive foundation is not required and preference is given to the column type. For its manufacture, you will need it with your own hands: place a place for the future veranda, knocking the pegs to the ground and stretching the rope between them. Drop the pits with a depth of 60-70 cm and make a sandy pillow 15-20 cm. Collect a wooden formwork 30 * 30 cm, put it on the prepared holes in the level. Pour concrete into a formwork and wait two weeks before it is frozen.

Construction of carcass veranda

In order for the floor of the veranda to the house, when he did not play on it, it is necessary to make a reliable rigid base. Therefore, for the construction of the lower strapping it is best to use a ram 150 * 150 mm, and the floor lags make a bar 100 * 150 mm.

The bar is stacked on a column foundation through the waterproofing material and is attached to the house using metal corners. To extend the life of the tree, it must be treated with special impregnations. Since the veranda is not indoors, but outside, then you can use the old grandfather's way, and treat the strapping and sex lags with waste machine oil.

Bar is mounted with metal studs. Racks for the veranda are also better made from the bar150 * 150 mm, it is more reliable, and a massive thick post looks better. The racks for the racks must be pre-stamped and take a good one.

Photo of the fastening of a bar to the gender lags:

At the bottom of the racks are attached to beams as well with spills, and in the corners with metal galvanized corners. Before mounting the racks, you must make sure of their strictly vertical position using a building level. The upper strapping is also made from a bar of 150 * 150 mm, and fasten it to the stands of the nails 300mm.

Before mounting the timber, it must be drilled in the place of riding the nail. This will facilitate the work on clogging the nail and help to avoid cracking the bar. To the house, the upper strapping is fixed with the help of a special metal bracket, which can be purchased in a construction store or make it yourself, with your own hands.

Roof construction

After building the frame starts to install rafter system. For a rafter system, the veranda uses the same board 150 * 50 mm, as for rafters at home itself. The angle of inclination of the roof of the veranda must comply with the project. If you attach the veranda to the house, it was decided on my own, and it was not assumed by the project, then the roof should not be done too gently, otherwise it may come under the weight of the snow.

The rafters are dug on the desired size and are attached on one side to the strapping with nails, and on the other side to the house with two metal corners. Corners are mounted on both sides of the rafted, which is drilled through. IN drilled hole The stud is inserted, and the corners are tightened with each other.

Photo of fastening rafters in the wall:

Thus, we get a solid reliable fastening. If the veranda is further planned to be insulated, then the roof will require insulation. To avoid the wetting of the insulation, steam barrier is stretched along the rafters, the control of the rail is nailed, and then the neckenet is made. If the veranda is open, then immediately on the rafters is performed from the board 150 * 25 mm. The roofing material can be laid on such a crate: profile sheet, slate, metal tile.

If you wish to cover the veranda flexible tile, you will have to make a solid base. To do this, the clamp from the board will have to put the sheets of plywood, and then the tile itself.

Floors on the veranda

As a material for floors, a spruce or pine board 150 * 50 mm is used. Of course, you can make floors from larch, oak or so-called deck board, but these are other financial costs. The board before laying on the floor must be put and polished.

With an outdoor terrace, precipitation (rain and snow) will definitely fall into the sex board, and it will worsch that it can lead to its rapid rotting. Therefore, it must be treated with antiseptic solution. For a rapid flow of water and ventilation of boards, they must be laid with a gap (3-5 mm) from each other. Plaques are attached to gender lags with long self-tapping screws (95-102 mm).

Railing and fence do it yourself

From what will be the railing and fences on the veranda will depend on its final appearance. A wide board from 150 to 200 mm is suitable for the rail. Wide railing can serve as an additional tea table or a kind of bar counter.

As a fence of the veranda options, there are a lot of options: forged metal fences, wooden carved bales, wooden in the form of a stakenice, etc.

As a material to create a railing, you can use the boards remaining after the construction of the main structure. The boards must predetermine, polish and process the antiseptic. Measure the distance between the vertical columns and cut off the railing with a length of 2 cm more than the distance obtained. In the posts at an altitude of 90-100 cm, it was cut out of 1 cm deep and the width of the railing equal. Insert the board into the cuts, and secure from below the long screw.

Rates from the floor 10 cm on the post to make similar rods and also insert the board in them. Between the resulting horizontal parallel boards, we have a cross inhibit prepared planed boards and secure them with self-draws to the columns. Thus, we get a beautiful and reliable fence with your own hands for the veranda

To extend the service life of the veranda attached to the house, it must be treated with protective oil impregnations.

An extension to the main entrance is an indispensable attribute of private or country house. She not only saves from the heat in the summer, but keeps warm and protects entrance door From snow and rain at another time of year. In the article, we will tell about how to make the frame of the veranda with their own hands, about the types of materials for the construction and methods of the framework of the frame.

Depending on the possibilities, skills and means, the material is chosen for construction. If you are familiar with carpentry work, you know how to use the ax and hacksaw, it is easy and quick to collect a wooden frame.

If you are familiar with working with a holder and a welder's mask, then it's not difficult to build a frame for the veranda from the reinforcement and the metal profile. Let's talk about each form in more detail.

Wood

Tree - the most affordable Material, easy to process, so many owners prefer it for it for the framework of the framework, but here the main thing is to choose the type of wood.

Solid grades (larch, oak) are more durable, less resistant to rotting, fungus and mold, but they are more expensive and working with them is more difficult, therefore, such a species is used in the lower part of the frame, which is more often in contact with the soil, more susceptible to atmospheric influence. Of the solid varieties make the lower cutting of the frame.

The top and the rafter to build from other species (cedar, pine, nut). Although, if there are no problems with finance and do not scare difficulties with processing, then if you wish, you can make the entire frame from solid wood. Since the reliability of the entire structure depends on the strength of the frame, then special attention should be paid to the quality of the material.

With visual inspection, wood should not have the following defects:

1. Rot.
2. Chervotochin.
3. Synevs, predecessor to rotting.
4. Cracked.
5. Black (tobacco) and drop-down bumps.
6. SCOL.

Important! The material for the frame of the veranda must be dry with humidity no more than 12-14%, otherwise the raw tree during drying will be shrinking, cracking, changing geometric and linear dimensions.

Metal

Consider the technology of its device:

1. On the extinted building area, the black fertile layer of earth is removed, align the surface.
2. At the corners of the future veranda, pits of at least 60 cm and 50 * 50 cm wide are digging. The same pits are digging along long sides with a distance between them no more than 200 cm. If the width of the veranda is more than 300 mm, then the posts must be installed inside the perimeter.
3. On the holes, they make a sandy pillow 15-20 cm thick and thoroughly tram.
4. The pits are poured with concrete, aligned horizontally and smoothed.
5. After grappling the concrete, its surface is covered with a layer of waterproofing material and put the columns of the required height of the brick or foam, slag blocks.
6. The dimensions of the supports make "in the brick" with a mandatory dressing of the ranks.

Important! The height of the posts depends on the netting floor on the veranda, which is recommended to do 20-30 cm below the floor in the house. Then the roof falls under the visor of the main building, which makes it easier to the junction of two buildings and reduces the risk of leaks.

1. For monolithic columns over the pits, make a formwork and poured concrete to the project height of the foundation.
2. The columns are covered with a layer of waterproofing (plastering and deceived by bitumen).
3. If emptiness remained - sinuses, they fall asleep with dry ground, gravel or rubble.
4. To mount a metal frame to the foundation during a masonry or pouring of concrete, the mortgage elements are installed to which the lower strapping will be attached (pieces of fittings protruding at a height of 10-15 mm above the surface, plate or corner).
5. Under metal carcass You can not arrange the foundation. If the casing provides for the use of lightweight materials, for example, polycarbonate, then there may be sufficient concrete preparation with a thickness of 10-15 cm on an aligned and tumped surface.

According to the prepared foundation, it is possible to begin the construction of a carcass veranda, which happens two types.

Wooden frame

For this, you will need the following materials:

• Bar 100x150 or 150x150 mm - for lower and upper strapping.
• Bar 100x100 mm or board 150x50 mm - for racks and lag.
• Bar 50x50 mm - for horizontal connections.
• Board 150x50 mm - for rafters.
• Nails, brackets, metal corners.

The framework of the frame is as follows:

1. The surface of the columns is littered with one or two layers of rubberoid or other rolled insulating material to protect the wood from the drip penetration of moisture.
2. Install the base of the bottom strapping, the angles are joined by the "in the floor of the tree" method. The instruction on the device of such a lock is simple: the same grooves are fixed at the docking ends of the beams, which are connected by overlapping one end of the bar to another. The depth of the groove is half of the height of the beam, and the length is about two widths.

Important! If you need to dock the strapping along the long sides of the veranda, it is necessary to monitor the joints of the beams necessarily fall on the foundation and did not hang in the air between the columns.

1. Cut into the strapping of lags to which the sexual coating will be mounted.
2. The framework of the "Schip-groove" method is installed around the perimeter, which should be based on the foundation poles. Refrigerate verticals with nails, metal brackets, corners.
3. The top of the carcass around the perimeter is tightly fasten the top strapping beam.
4. Under the cornese of the building along the roof length, the verandes are installed beam - "run", the rafters are fixed to it, which the other side is based on the cutting of the frame. The bias of the roof make at least 3%, and the rafters are released above the face side of the frame 40-50 cm for the cornice device.

The frame is ready, you can proceed to the trim.

Metal carcass

When choosing a typical set of a collaborative framework, which can be bought in free sale, the assembly is carried out without the use of special technical means, it will take only a rechargeable or wrench. detailed instructions It will help to figure out the assignment of each element and do everything right.

It is impossible not to say that when the framework is erected from individual profile elements, you will need to attract a specialist and prepare a set of special equipment. Although now it does not cause problems, there are many organizations specializing in the construction of welded structures and equipped with everything necessary for such work. But the price in this case can be quite high.

In our article, we are talking about work done with your own hands, so we consider the order and technology of the welded frame device for the veranda on their own.

• According to the foundation posts, the lower strapping is placed, usually consisting of larger diameter pipes than the remaining elements and firmly weld to the mortgage.
• Install the angular racks, carefully extinct verticality of each profile.
• Intermediate supports are installed at the same distance equal to the width of the facing material.

• At the perimeter, the upper strapping is welded to the ends of the racks, strictly tracing the horizontal of the constructive.
• To impart stability and stiffness in the deaf simpleness of the frame, it is recommended to establish additional diagonal struts - "Kosomes" from the same profile as intermediate racks. They should be at least one on each side of the construction.
• Under the beams of the lower strapping, with welding every 60-70 cm, lags are mounted, which serve as the base for.

The roof rafters are put under a slope of at least 3%, the cross section depends on the roofing coating - the heavier material, the stronger should be the elements. Technology of the roofing device of the metal is similar to the installation of wooden rafters.

Important! Special attention should be paid to the quality of the welds of the structure, the reliability and durability of the construction depends on this. It is necessary to test the seams with a grinder, check for the presence of undeveloped, if necessary to break up once again and coat with protective primer 3 times.

The frame of the terraces of the terrace of metal, made in compliance with all technological requirements, will simply be ascended and insulated (see), and will serve such an extension for many years.

We considered in the article possible options for a framework for a terrace or veranda, which one to choose, depends on your preferences, finance and capabilities.

Looking at the photo and video in this article, you will get a complete picture of the working moments of construction and for sure you will be able to fulfill the hand-made with your own hands.

The dining room, it is pleasant to arrange tea drinking. You can build a veranda with your own hands using the tips from our article. We will tell how to calculate the material, assemble the frame and so on. It will help to avoid mistakes, save time and money.

The veranda is an unheated extension to the main building that adjoins one side to the house, combining the function of the porch and the rest space. Unlike the terrace, it is constructed in one style with a house and serves as shelter from the rain and the sun.

The veranda may be:

• with glazing (closed type);
• without glazing (open type).

Choosing materials for construction

Choosing materials, should proceed from the fact that the veranda is most often constructed on the principle frame technology. For the racks, the bottom and the upper strapping, the ram 150x150 mm is used. It can also be used for lag of the floor. For the installation of major ceiling farms, a smaller bar is needed - 80x100 mm. Intermediate rafters are made of 40x40 mm bars. Filling between racks - from edged board 20 mm thick or vinyl siding.

It is necessary to build a crate for which the smaller bar is required (40x20 mm) or a metal profile. Between the racks are installed rigidity from the same bar. The same bar is needed for the roofing device. The ceiling fusion is performed by 20 mm boards, moisture-resistant plywood or OSB plates. For the floor, a tipped board with a thickness of at least 40 mm is used.

In order to know the exact number of basic materials, it is necessary to make a sketch of the future veranda in which all sizes will be indicated.

Foundation device for veranda

For light design (To which the veranda refers) the best solution will be the construction of a column foundation. This significantly reduces it and speeds the construction.

Particular attention should be paid to the elements of the foundation located at the entrance: they should be stronger than others. This requirement is caused by the need to prevent the roll of the veranda away from the house, which often happens when the foundation column is sent. You can avoid this with the construction of additional supports.

The construction of a column foundation for the veranda is performed in stages:

1. Plot is prepared: trees and shrubs are spilled, stumps hardened.
2. Marking of the places of installation of a column foundation.
3. Pots are lower below the level of ground freezing (approximately 1.1-1.2 m), at the bottom of which the sandy bellows with a thickness of 150 mm is satisfied. Sand must be moistened and tamper.
4. The crushed stone is falling asleep with a layer of about 100 mm.
5. Liquid cement-sandy solution poured rubble, after which concreting is performed on top of it. The concrete layer should also be about 100 mm.
6. Ruberoid in two layers (for waterproofing) is placed on top of concrete. Performed brickwork: Construct brick columns of the square section (in a half of the brick). The height of the above-ground part should be such that the floor level of the veranda is slightly lower than the floor level of the main part of the house.

1. All supports must be at the same level: it must be controlled by water waterpaste.
2. After completion of the masonry, there is a reverse mismatch. Soil must be tamped.
3. On top of the columns also stacked two layers of rubberoid.

Foundation columns must be at one level

Attention! It is impossible to leave incomplete construction for the winter: due to the spring of the soil, unloaded poles can be unevenly ousted. Fix it will be difficult.

Construction frame and wall construction

Initially, we mount the lower strapping from the bar (all connections are performed only above the foundation stand). The bar in the corners are kept in dragged and drive a spike in a drilled hole with a diameter of 12 mm. For laying the lag every 50-60 cm, the grooves are hosted.

Racks must be installed strictly vertically. They are fixed with brackets and special angular connectors. For the convenience of mounting, the rack is temporarily fixed by ships. Middle to the house of the rack should be made above distant so that the roof slope is at least 7 °: it is necessary to ensure good drain of the rainwater and snow.

The frame of the veranda will become stronger after mounting the windows beams between the racks. The distance from the floor level is about 0.5 m (windows must be large).

The upper strapping is performed similarly to the lower. It displaced the grooves under the bars of the crate.

In the squares formed by the bars of the lower strapping, racks and submap beams, the diagonal elements are established (crosswise), connecting them downwards - they will additionally strengthen the design. The walls under the window are trimmed outside by boards or other suitable material (siding, shield panels, etc.). Between the inner and outer trim fit heat insulation material — mineral wool (If there is no veranda during the cold season, the insulation can not be laid).

Attention! Wood needs to be inspected and discarding boards and bars with signs of rotting and insect pests. All wooden frame elements should be treated with an antiseptic agent, and after installation - apply paint coating.

Installation of roof and floor

On the mounted crates, we put the sheets of moisture-resistant plywood or OSB plates. As a roofing material, we use: under such a roof will be cozy during the rain. Also, the drainage chute should be installed with a slope of 3-5 ° in the direction of the water removal location.

For the floor, you need well dried, outrageous tipped boards with a thickness of at least 40 mm. They are tightly driven with each other, leaving at the edges a compensation clearance of 5-10 mm.

Note: In order for the floor for a long time, the space between the supports of the foundation is not sewn, or arrange products (ventilation holes).

After that, the porch is attached to the veranda, install the doors and perform glazing. The windows can be with a single glass: this is enough to protect against rain and wind. Window Rama. With double-glazed windows, if the veranda is planned to be heated (in this case, all the slots must be swapped and closed with platbands).

The last step is the interior decoration. On the veranda, you can install the tea table, if the area allows - you can set the trumpem and decorate the colors and curving plantsSo that you have a cozy to rest on the veranda during the summer scene or rain.

The veranda is their own hands? There is nothing easier! Country rest lovers rightly believe that their home must be with the veranda. And they are right. And in our article we will try to explain why I will definitely tell how to build the veranda is their own hands And where to start.

Agree that the veranda performs one of the most important functions on a rustic or cottage plot. The covered veranda reliably will protect against rain, sunlight and fallen leaves. The veranda may be separately standing by a building structure or construction installed directly next to the house.

Material for manufacture can be different. Someone loves veranda of wood, and someone souls a reliable aluminum or metal frame, which can be fully open, and can be partially or completely sewn.

To make the roof of the veranda, you can use different construction Materials. This can be a professionalist or translucent polycarbonate - in both cases it is necessary to take into account the drain.

Veranda in the country area - build or not

First, let's answer the question of what is a veranda. First of all, it is a semi-open porch, often on wooden pillars based on the ground and attached to the house. Usually the veranda protects one of the sides of the house from direct sunlight, where you can spend time during the rain outdoors.

The veranda only protects against the rain. On the street heat? No problems! During the hot weather you can spend time on the veranda, enjoying warm weather with a full glass of fresh juice in hand.

If you still doubt the functionality of the veranda and the question of its construction is in question, we can safely say that you do not think and of course build a veranda. After all, you will have an extra room, where you can put furniture, create a beautiful and cozy place for evening tea drinking or gatherings in the company of friends. If you have the opportunity to build a veranda - Build, and you will be satisfied!

As it often happens, we really want to build a veranda, but the financial situation will not allow us to spend extra money on expensive materials and the work of the builders. Do not worry! We will tell you how to build a veranda with your own hands and benefit from this.

Until you dream about building the veranda, and we have already prepared for you a few tips and ideas for inspiration. Be sure to look at our examples and try to turn them into reality! You may find the right version of you and you can build a veranda on your summer cottage. And we tell how inexpensive the veranda is their own hands.

The veranda is their own hands

The height of the roof should be at least 2.2 meters, and should also be left by the reserve depending on the height of the frame and in case it is required for opening and closing the doors of the house. You can use the same type of roof as a canopy for cars.

Construction Materials

• Wooden poles
• Lugges for the roof
• Support
• Papered lamps
• Screws
• Dowels
• Cement mortar
• Anchors for fastening beams
• Ruberoid
• Bitumen or varnish

As an example, we take a veranda of 2.2 meters high, 6 meters long and 4 meters width. You will need 3 durable column measuring 9 x 9 cm and a 2.8 meters high, 2 support beams and 7 crossbar. Use a planed pine with impregnation or other wood grade for outdoor designs.

For the manufacture of roofs can be used various materials, for example, a metal professional sheet, black polyvinyl chloride (PVC), wood, rubberoid (roofing cardboard), frontal tile or translucent plastic panels. For external structures, always use stainless steel fasteners. They may be more expensive, but much more durable.

Placement of position

First of all, it is necessary to make a decision regarding where and how you want to place a veranda. Determine what length and width should be the roof and where it is necessary to place the poles. Start with the general drawing, then make a decision on which materials and what sizes will be required. By making a decision regarding the placement of the veranda, mark its exact location with a cord.

Water drain

If the veranda is attached to the wall, it is necessary to install the roof at an angle of at least 5 degrees. This angle is a bias of approximately 10-12 cm for each linear meter on Earth. If heavy snowfall is expected in winter, we advise you to provide a sharper slope. With construction flat roof The final operation is to install on the edge of the drain pipe.

Marking site

For marking places of installation of columns, spend outdoor marking lines with cords. To prevent deposits, the pillars should be placed at a distance of 2 - 3 meters from each other in the center of the tile for flooring. These pillars support horizontal crossbars, along which the mount is performed. The roof is easier to install the coarse.

Installation of wall bruschev

The wall timber is attached to the wall holding the support beams at the site. Wooden wall timber has the same thickness as supporting beams.

Determine the height of the installation of wall bars. Ensure a tilt at least 10-13 cm for each meter. In our case, the slope will be 10 x 4 cm \u003d 40 cm. In front of the height, should be at least 2.20 meters.

Installation of wall timber

First, drill holes in the wall timber. Press the bar to the wall and holding it in this position, make a mark in the center of the brick or in the junction of bricks. As a guide, you can use the seam in a number of bricks - this will allow the timing to be consolidated in such a way that it is visually located horizontally.
Pre-drill holes under the dowel and check the horizontal location of the wall timber using the construction level. The junction is at the location of the middle bar.

Use of shock screws

We recommend using impact screws. Impact screw is a steel nail or a special screw, which is clogged into a dowel. This method of fastening is much faster than using ordinary screws, and is ideal for fastening wall beams. After scoring a screw in a dowel, it is finally tightened with a screwdriver.

Pillar Supports for installation on tile or stones for paving

If you do not want to break the tile or stones for paving or you do not have a special tool for this, suitable option It is the installation of pillars supports with screws. Poles are simply fixed in the desired position on stones or stones for paving. Checking the verticality and correctness of the installation of the poles is made using a construction level or cord.

Central pillar veranda

The central pillar is installed in the center of the appropriate markup. Cutting the cord between both end columns, make sure that the upper edges of all pillars are correctly aligned.

Fastening the front beam to the columns

The front beam, corresponding to the size of the wall beams, is installed in front of all 3 columns. To ensure the stability of the roof of the beam, there are additional diagonal supports that are fixed with screws of a suitable length. In this case, you should pre-drill holes for screws.

Installation of roof beams

After reliable fastening the front beam, check its horizontal and go to the roof beam installation on the support. In this case, it is also necessary to use screws of the appropriate size. They must be located on 7 cross beams with a distance between the beams 1 meter. After that, it is necessary to complete the roof mount - for example, installing wooden panels, metal profiled sheets or translucent polycarbonate panels.

Metal profiled sheets

Metal profiled sheets are distinguished by strength, easily installed and allow the water resistance of the veranda surface when used to attach screws with rubber seals. To ensure water resistant roof, sheets are installed. To avoid injury to the hands with sharp edges, use working gloves. To ensure the waterproof, the joint with the wall can be attached to the wall corrugated profile corresponding to the roof panel form, followed by the sealing of the upper edge.

Translucent polycarbonate

To install a translucent roof, you can use 16 mm polycarbonate panels. They are distinguished by the strength and ease of installation, as well as easily sealed with end profiles of the corresponding form. In the upper edge of the wall you can use an aluminum profile. The gap between the upper edge of the wall and the profile is filled with silicone seal. Before applying silicone seals, the entire surface of the edge should be deguted. Alternatively, it is possible to use a thick or folded twice the sealing strip as an alternative, attaching it to the wall using dowels and screws.

Fastening of pillars in the ground

To secure pillars in the ground, start from the corner pillar and follow the markup. Overlook the narrow yam of a depth of 60 - 80 cm using a narrow shovel or an earth drum. Poles are installed directly into solid ground. To facilitate excerpts, pits are recommended to pre-moisten the soil.

Pouring concrete

Fill into the hole concrete. The amount of filling concrete depends on the number of columns. To prepare concrete, use a mixture of 1 kg of river sand, 1 kg of gravel and 0.5 kg of cement. You can also fall asleep quick-drying dry cement mortar From the bag to the pit, and then add water. During operation, periodically check the verticality of the installation of the columns using a construction level or a plumb. In conclusion, blow the poles to the ground with a sledgehammer.
