Why the well needs a home

House for a well on the site will not only serve for your water source protection from dust, dirt and rain, but also can be a great element of decor. The market today offers the owners of plots and country houses a great variety of designs of manhole houses, from simple gable roof to a real massacre tower. However, many users FORUMHOUSEI agree that it is much more practical and more interesting to build a house for a well or wells with submersible pump independently. This is not difficult, and purchased cheaper options, and allows you to display their design fantasies.

The construction of the house, many forum users are advised to start with a project that can be drawn in any of the common computer programs today or just on paper. Traced in advance any project, even the most simple of construction on the first view, significantly facilitates its implementation and helps to avoid many mistakes in the process, the user blackschmied sure:

- The project will help to determine in advance the desired proportions of the house, drawing the individual components will allow them to do along with others. It is also convenient to pre-calculate a pairing between individual elements.

Cottage by the forumchanin in the end turned out very original, but it is functional. Detailed account of the realization of the project with a detailed description of all the works, the materials used, with diagrams and photographs, he shared in this topic forum.

Before you start designing it is important to define the concept of the future of the house: whether it will be open or closed on all sides, as will be placed gates, what materials will be used, etc. But before you proceed directly to the mounting structure, it is necessary to inspect and condition of the well. Perhaps it will have to be cleaned, or to strengthen the protection against ingress of surface waters - refurbish a clay castle, wall waterproofing process rings.

"Correct" Sump house must:

Tightly close the well and prevent the ingress of dust into it, leaves, blades, insects, etc.

Protect well from the rain, melt water, rodent waste products, animals and birds.

Allowing the well to "breathe."

Have a lifting device for collecting water bucket.

Be durable and do not require frequent maintenance.

In most cases, as a base material for building houses forumchane selected timber, preferring larch: it is durable and resistant to moisture. However, many of the building that is at hand, but in any case, wooden structures require mandatory treatment antiseptic impregnation. Here's how it makes the master Kolodeznikov Samodel:

- soaked polished material on the daily antiseptic, then land, then I put or render a couple of layers of impregnation, and then rejoin the nodes and another nanoshu three or four layers. If you just miss the mark with antiseptic, then your long sump house does not protect any antiseptic washed away, including condensate, which in a well in excess of the winter and summer.

Simple and cost-effective option "upgrading" of concrete rings of the well - to sheathe his wooden "shirt." The original version of "well-barrel" offers a user under the name RomanKul: Riveting barrel simulates lining, which is sheathed manhole ring.

RomonKul (Member FORUMHOUSE):

- wall paneling fastened together by a metal band at the top and bottom (you can also in the center), doing it on the table. The result was a flexible wooden strip, which is equal to the length of the circumference of the ring. Then, this strip wrapped ring well.

Many also draped top ring natural stone, but here you need to be very careful. The problem is that when the upper ring obkladyvaetsya stone, it naturally becomes wider than the other. In the spring, when the ground frost and departs from the well rings shift by its own weight down the upper ring "Hang" on the stones and thus between it and the second ring gap is formed, through which will fall into the well dirty water.

The height of the well log should be about one meter, so that after lifting the bucket can be safely bend over and get it.

Often, worrying about how to winter in the well water is not frozen, the owners are trying to warm a house of foam or other materials. Experienced Gameday warn: do not be. Insulate, you must do the top and the second top ring of the well, then the water in it will not freeze.

Samodel(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- insulate the house is meaningless and dangerous, especially foam, and all sorts of rubbish such as padded jackets. Often after such thermal insulation is necessary to clean the well. The foam is very fond of the mouse ...

The best finish for the roof manhole house usersFORUMHOUSE feel soft roof: it is easy to installation, it is long and impressive looks. But the metal - a material for the roof undesirable.

Yanata(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- Metal is not suitable - it is beautiful, but dangerous. Roof low, sharp corners. I know about the sad case where a man, like a knife, cut through his shoulder. First we need to think about those who have children... Ideal soft tile.

For the abstraction of water from the well is now used by many of submersible pumps, and so are abandoning traditional gate with a bucket. And in vain: first, the gate will gain in the "firemen" cases - when a power failure or pump failure. And secondly, the classic, traditional well - it is also beautiful.

The most optimal, proven for centuries option of lifting the gate - well-dried logs of hardwood, preferably alder, pine, spruce. The optimum diameter - about 20 centimeters. Along the edges of the beam must necessarily be fixed by pulling the metal strip.

Members FORUMHOUSE «hidden» in fancy houses not only the wells, but also wells and standpipes. user irusya8well located three meters from the entrance to the house - very much like that it does not spoil the view from the porch, and therefore it was decided to disguise its decorative structure. As a result, it has turned out twice as functional: in the split-level house, the mill is located at the bottom of the well, and on top - GASOLINE, helping out the family during a power outage.

A forumchanin Aleyt from materials left over from the construction of a house, built a house over the drinking fountain.

Aleyt(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- From the remnants of the board rolled skeleton sheathed block house, painted. Roof used material roll fence. They are made of reeds, bamboo, and I bought out of some bushes. Roll sawed and lapped laid, before it was lubricative sheet OSB waterproofing.
