DIY: build a wooden shed for the car!

I had to choose what to build in the yard or garage for the car to stop on the canopy. Let's look at a simple version - shed. Still, it is practical, versatile and not too expensive. A canopy made of wood - and even eco-friendly. I'll tell you how to do it to the building was safe and durable.

To begin with, of course, need a theoretical part: you have to get acquainted with all the requirements for such buildings. It is necessary to determine the size of the canopy. And decide where it will be located - close to any structure as an extension or will it be a free-standing structure. Consider a fixed canopy 5h2,5 m and a height of a little more than 2 m. The height of the canopy should be done at 1-1.5 meters above the car.

To frame the canopy is recommended to use conifers. They are stronger, more durable and less susceptible to rotting wood. It is important to build a shed on a small hill and do the perimeter drainage groove, covered with bars. This is to ensure that water does not accumulate around the car.

Pre-designed exploded construction project, make a list and prepare the necessary tools and materials to get started, do not be distracted by the constant trips to the store because of the lack anything.

The base can be strengthened or columnar-helical pile foundation. I deepened the supporting pillars treated mastic asphalt, the ground about 50-70 cm., Concreted and secured their beam channels. The number of support pillars is dependent on the length of the canopy. The interval between them should be about 1.5 meters. And be sure to contemplate that the bearing cage and do not interfere with opening doors. The base and the area under the canopy until just concreted. If the cover tiles will look aesthetically pleasing.

The construction of the frame is one of the most important stages. It should be using extinct level accurately and check the evenness of the attached beam. The inclination should not exceed 3 degrees. canopy can simply nod at a higher margin of error. Frame better collecting of beam thickness of 150 mm. by means of screws 70 mm. Be sure to treat it with an antiseptic, it will protect the wood from insects. Bruce is aligned with the height and fasten to the supports with special brackets. On the set of support stacked rafters. They are secured to the longitudinal beams at intervals of 70 cm. Rafter system can be preset to build on the land.

On the frame is placed on top of the roof. Fixing should be as strong. Roofing material you can choose on your own - from metal tile or ondulin. Canopy - a lightweight construction, so the roof should not be severe.
