Scaffolding own hands
Sooner or later it comes to the construction of the facade decoration. And then it becomes necessary to carry out work in the height range of 4 to 10 meters. After all needed and pediments "hem" and mount the siding, and painting of the facade elements to execute and install the gutter system.
Only one way out - to put scaffolding or tower-round. But industrial constructions are expensive, and the price of round-tower with a working height of 8-10 meters much bite. You can rent them, but if the work will be stretched over time, this rental will cost a pretty penny.
FORUMHOUSE experts recommend - to build scaffolding for building your own! And from what and how to make the forest with his own hands, will be discussed in today's material.
Metal or wood
forests can be make of wood or metal. Practical experience of members of the forum said that to build the metal structure is economically feasible only if there is "free" iron. If you buy the metal fasteners, engage in welding work, such structures as a result of the factory will cost more and, especially wooden ones.
If a wood Scaffold can be carefully taken apart and put the board in a "case", the metal destined to gather dust in the economic block. Experienced builders say that qualitatively made metal timber or tower-round, you can then rent out. But want to mess with that few private developers. Therefore, the majority of members of the forum still prefer wooden structures.
HukTo (participant FORUMHOUSE):
Metal scaffolding best wood, but the main advantage of wood - the relative cheapness, simplicity and speed of manufacture.
Advice from FORUMHOUSE: Scaffold with their hands from a tree to build a better quality of timber. Quality board, in contrast to the worthless material, which will have to throw away after use, can be used in new construction. Forest home with their own hands.
How to make a timber of planks
Before you begin manufacturing makeshift wooden structures, it is necessary to decide on the work front. If in one case, they can be very simple - Extension (for filing the gables, trim and siding country house etc.), in other cases (facade finishing stone or brick, plaster work, etc.) requires more serious design.
Sanya2 (participant FORUMHOUSE):
I had to finish the block house ends the second floor of the house. The height "a fad" - 8 meters. So I decided to build a structure made of wood, as well as the need to increase its height.
The dimensions of the base block as follows:
- Length - 5 m;
- Width - 1 m;
- The height (thickness) - 3.5 m.
The design took 60 meters of boards 150h50mm.
Buryat (member FORUMHOUSE):
For works of small volume is recommended to build ladders, timber. It is fast, inexpensive and reliable.
Scaffoldings own hands
The structure itself looks like the letter T, leaning against the wall. Taken as a basis 150h50 board, perpendicular to it nailed another board - supporting platform on which is then laid flooring.
One of the most important elements of such structures are the jib - 25-50h100 boards, which are trimmed on the sides two downed with each other at right angles to the main board.
Typically, on each side beaten by 3 jib. Thus, rigidity of the entire structure is achieved.
Such homemade forests do not need a rigid connection to the house. Carries the power load retaining board, one end of which abuts the board mounting location, and the other - a pointed end - is stuck in the ground.
If a house or a wooden frame, the timber ladders can be nailed to the wall. If you can not spoil the facade, they lean against the wall and carries most of the load retaining board.
When selecting the size of "envelopes" should adhere to the following requirements. If the site is too narrow, then it will be difficult and dangerous to walk. If the site is too wide, it is not excluded gap "envelope" from the wall. The optimal size of the area - 400-500 mm.
The main advantage of Extra designs - for their production does not require a lot of lumber.
Buryat:
Retaining the board and, therefore, the height of the forests can be increased. If the length of the board is increased (more than 6 meters), then the rigidity of the structure, the corner between the wall and the blind area, abuts against another board, that the other end is attached to the middle of the first - the main board.
Despite the fact that the structure is well known, to doubt their reliability at the first sight of such structures - a scary look! Let us turn to the practical experience of the users of our website.
Zark (participant FORUMHOUSE):
We are forests called "Armenian". When I first saw this design, I was surprised - how in general it holds. Tried, I climbed on the deck - it is quite reliable. Himself used ladders woods more than once or on a wooden, and brick building. They are convenient, quickly assembled and disassembled. Do not take up much space.
Armenian scaffolding.
Drosha (participant FORUMHOUSE):
Forests of this type are completely safe. To strengthen the walls of the board is not necessary, but it is necessary to screw the decking screws to backup (nails are not knocked down, so you could make it out quickly).
How to erect scaffolding for heavy duty applications
But such "Armenian" scaffolds are not suitable for all the work - mainly for light. They are good as a timber for painting houses, etc. For "heavy" jobs that require working with tool solutions, facade decoration stone etc. more capital construction must be used.
Assembling the structure is as follows:
- Taken six-meter board (150 / 200x50) and is placed vertically against the wall;
- Parallel to it becoming the second board;
- Between them they are fixed by horizontal beams. Further, in the same way, the second support is mounted and placed flooring;
- For greater rigidity stands propped up with additional boards, braces that run into the ground;
- As required forests are increasing in height by securing additional vertical boards.
Standard dimensions of the span of these forests:
- Step between the uprights - 2-2.5 m;
- The width of the deck for operation - 1 m.
A wooden timber with his own hands
diews (participant FORUMHOUSE):
We made such forest last summer. These wall is not attached. We put only on one wall, and then transferred. The main thing - to make braces and supports, and the design will stand out like a glove.
How best to make the forest: nails, screws against
Always there is a lot of debate on how to put together a Scaffold
What battened with each other. Views of members of the forum were divided: some believe that may be collected on the screws, while others are categorically against - only on nails.
The main argument of opponents of screws - their fragility. Screws not work well under shock load and shear. Result - flies hat design loses strength, up to self-destruction.
How to build a scaffold for skin at home.
Igor Kokhanov (member FORUMHOUSE):
I recommend all to strengthen nails 120 mm, with the mandatory tip to bend the beam and jib. And no screws! I'll tell you a case. Familiar builders did the roof. They are sealed with screws board. Result - parted design, the four flew with five-meter height. The result - one in the hospital with a broken kidneys. The second - a strong leg injury. But they are more lightly, whether the height is larger, everything could end much more pitiable.
That's why it happened. The nail is made of a relatively soft metal. Under load, it bends rather than breaks. Screws made of hardened metal and alternating and shock loads, it is first a little sognotsya and then break. Moreover, so-called by the people "black" screws, due to quenching, much more breaking than anodized yellow.
For collapsible timber constructions are well suited hex bolts (under the washer) having a diameter of 8 mm and a special metal fasteners.
The main argument of opponents of nails is that the carefully parse forests that amassed on the nails, it will not succeed, but a good part of the board will have to throw away or put on the rough work. A structural component of the shear hold large frictional force that arises between the boards, to use long screws 120 - 150 mm. Therefore it is necessary to compromise - to use screws to collect scaffolding "in the black". In this case, if an error occurs in the first phase of forests collection and can be quickly dismantled and re-build. And then further how to put together all the nails.
To disassembly when not to damage the board (if they are to be put again "in business"), hammer the nail into the main board can be across the board-pad size 25h100. And at the end of work thin board can quickly break down and throw. Freed nail-head is easily pulled out from the main board crowbar.
How to make a timber for house painting: select the type of wood
An important point - rock forest tree from which cobble together constructions. A user with the nickname dgusepe He believes that only spruce is suitable for their manufacture, but not pine. Because Pine - a tree that grows swirls whorls, and in these places the board have to break property.
But there is a diametrically opposite view.
Tani4ka (participant FORUMHOUSE):
I have built a forest of pine. And they are perfectly withstood two adult men weighing under 100 kg and even more stairs. By the way, they were collected in the yellow anodized screws. No one fell not broken anything.
To check the board on the strength of it can be put on two columns (three-folded bricks) And jump on it. Poor boards (with knots) will crack or break.
Up: when working on scaffolding is necessary to pay attention to safety. Before starting work, you need to carefully inspect and test all components, fasteners, make sure that the design is not cracked, it is not shaken, and fasteners firmly seated. When working at high altitude are kindly requested to provide safety features - safety belt and additional fitting pieces - for fastening belay ropes when moving on structures.
