Farm on frame technology

The cow has always been considered one of the most important farm animals. And now, when the milk can be bought in any village shop, many owners of a farm not going to abandon it. How to build a barn in which the "nurse" will be comfortable and safe, we will cover in this article.

user FORUMHOUSE Bolt71 built spacious korovnik- karkasnik with backfilling of sawdust, the foundation to tires and glass roof hayloft. Cows had survived in it last winter, so construction experience can be considered a success, especially since the budget was limited, and the time - compressed. It all began with the fact that the farmer rightly decided, once even the second floor of the house he had built was a carcass, the cows, the more a sin to complain. And I started to design.

Cowshed built on frame technology Balloon (balun), adapted to the agricultural premises.

The dimensions of the barn - 6x5 meters. Long wall divided by a partition. Thus, in the barn two rooms: warm and cold flock. Warm half slightly more cold. Right in warm flock along the entire stretch of the outer wall of hay at the nursery for three cows person. Left - 10 hens cage and rack for large barrels of water. The water is pumped out of the house through the air duct, and it lasts on average for ten days. not remained in the pipeline to the water and not peremerzala winter in its design provides slopes.

Whole rack extending from the floor to the roof, a meter apart. Crashed into two boards: the roof joists and ceiling abutments. In the hay in the middle of the wall of the six pillars left four - this in order to be able to freely roll the hay from one part to another. The wall overlooking the street, also made an opening, so it was convenient to load the hay from the wagon to the barn.

harness Bolt71 made of planks 40h150, tires put only in those places strapping, which rose bearing walls, four stacks of tires on five-meter wall. Since the construction site of the barn is very uneven, the highest point of missing a tire, in the lower - five tires on the SUV. Tire builder filled with a mixture of sand and gravel, but is loose, as they say, without fanaticism. Tire stuffed sand, under the influence of frost heaving compressed, and thus the structure does not distort. Therefore, this method can be applied even in Siberia. From inside a barn lined with planks. It was made here such protection against leaks.

Wall thickness was 15 centimeters. Sawdust in the frame Bolt71 sleep in the outer skin, wherein the space between the planks and sawdust was laid paperboard. Sawdust on filling were quite large, out of the conveyers. In winter, the outdoor piping to heat the perimeter backfilled "Zavalinka" sawdust, straw and snow. The ceiling of the barn almost winterized: spread a top builder of the old ventilation pipe (this is something like a canvas) and the old carpet found in the garbage.

In a warm gaggle floor leveled gravel, which is filled to the lower trim levels, it fit rail, the remainder of the construction of the house, and on top - edged board. Over time, the owner of the barn is going to replace the floor on opilkobeton. Opilkbeton cheaper than the board, and makes it easy to form the slopes and plums. In addition, the wooden floor in the barn deteriorating rapidly: not uncommon when, having failed in the rotten floor, animals broken leg.

In cold flock is double door. With this easy to draw in the opening bales of hay that overwinter outside. But the bulk of hay stored in the loft on the roof. In the ceiling, to throw off the hay, cut through the hatch. A barn, incidentally, is made of window frames.

Bolt71 (User FORUMHOUSE):

Use planks to loft the toad is not allowed, so use Freestuff frame, two years collected in the surrounding dumps.

In the afternoon, in the cold, cow Bolta71 walk in the old glassed-in greenhouse, and it is also an interesting experience.

Construction costs amounted to 43 thousand rubles: 32 000 - seven cubic meters of wood, 3000 - polmashiny gravel for leveling the floor in a warm gaggle, 7000 - 30 sheets of slate and even 1000 - the car sawdust.

As litter Bolt71 uses sawdust, which regularly changes. Firstly, such a litter, in which all currently undergoing chemical processes heats the barn better than the stove. Cows are many, so it is important for them that the floor was warm. Second, the straw manure is more expensive and more readily bought up beskorovnymi gardeners. In order to obtain valuable fertilizer, is sufficient once a month to remove the upper layer deep litter into the pile, watering it and close the composting accelerator black film.

Glebomater (User FORUMHOUSE):

We sold the machine straw manure for 2500 rubles when clean the manure from the farm was for 1200. A compost machine sold for 8,000 rubles.

For ventilation in the barn Bolta71 in one of the two windows is made ventilator. We can do better: to build a wall at the bottom of the soil pipe, which will suck the air from the bottom ammonia. As we have said, cows like to lie, so they will be easier to breathe. For mikroprovetrivaniya can simply close the door tightly.

Another improvement, which, according to experts FORUMHOUSE need this barn - insulation ceiling. A layer of sawdust to 30 cm in thickness does not require any financial costs, but in the barn will be more heat, and the hay will leave less fumes. Again, not a good idea seems to be a glass Senik. Hay loves dark and ventilated rooms, and it will turn yellow and dry up under the glass.

Some users FORUMHOUSE do in their barns drains to collect cow urine. This is done, for example, Tanya Kondrat. Its structure can be considered in the photo: it is placed in the passageway and closed the floor boards.

Sewer pipe runs almost the entire length of the barn and out into the well. It is inserted into the incision, another pipe - canalization of vetch. Since the farm Tatiana does not use any chemicals in the cesspit gets only water, urine and sometimes soapy water from the soap.

Even in its barn have a stove and sink with heated: hot water needed for milking, wash the udder, and for the hotel and just hand wash.

The ancient way of making the cowshed warm without the stove is used in Yakutia, where the frosts of 60 degrees is not particularly surprise anyone. There still build barns, called Houghton.

Construction Technology Houghton, in brief, is as follows: log vertically, at a slight angle, laid out on the same log boat. Floor made of planks. Outside Houghton coated with a mixture of fresh cow dung, straw and quicklime. This structure not only protects against frost, but also from the rain. Each family builds his Houghton in different ways. Someone makes a ledge, someone makes a pitched roof, someone pours the ground to the ceiling. Such a structure is normally warms one cow, and it can be safely wintering podselyat hens.

Yakutsk was coated with selhozpostroyki and in warmer regions - for example, vegetable store, where because you can not dig a cellar proximity of groundwater.
