A DIY garden house will fit perfectly into any area.

Building it if your plot is only a few acres means creating an area for relaxation and storage of necessary utensils.

If you have a lot of land and already have a real country house, then a garden house will be an excellent solution for placing work equipment and decorating the interior of your site.

The advantage of this building is that you can do it yourself, without involving many specialists.

In addition, the construction of a small building will cost much less, and it will be easier to implement.

First of all, refer to the photo instructions and diagrams - they will make your work easier and make construction much easier.

The main stages of building a garden house

• laying the foundation,
• walls and roof are being erected, insulation,
• finishing (usually siding),
• creation of the interior.

Construction begins with a project.

House designs can be ready-made - you can take them as is, or slightly transform them to suit your needs. Therefore, first of all, decide for what purpose you need a garden house.

It is most often used as a temporary home during the summer months, with perhaps infrequent winter visits. In winter, the roof of the garden house will protect tools, garden furniture and other necessary things from snow.

Since the first purpose of the house is living, you need to make it comfortable for living, both in winter and summer.

Photos of projects of such buildings look like this: a plan diagram of the floor (floors) indicating the size of the premises, drawings of the roof, supporting floors and nodes where the walls meet the floor and ceiling.

For greater clarity, see the photo.

If you are planning to bring light and heat into the house, then you need to think about communication network diagrams.

Once the projects, diagrams and drawings have been drawn up, you will see how much material you will need to begin construction, as well as how much money you will have to spend on it.

A standard frame house made of wood or foam blocks for a summer residence is 6x7 meters, but you can make your frame house larger or smaller. After you decide on the size, you need to choose a place on the site.

The best solution is the highest point of the site in the north or north-west side.

Small garden houses made of wood or foam blocks are usually one-story, sometimes with an attic roof. See photos of timber building options below.

Such buildings are the most convenient, because... the interior space can be used as a bedroom and dining room, and the roof (attic) is used as storage for belongings, tools and summer kitchen items.

Materials for construction

The construction of a small house can be made from:

• wood,
• timber,
• bricks,
• foam blocks.

Construction from foam blocks and OSB is the most rapidly erected option.

OSB boards are made from wood chips, the size of which is about 15 cm. OSB is an environmentally friendly and cheap material, and assembling a house from OSB is reminiscent of assembling a construction set.

OSB boards are made by pressing three layers of chips - the pressure on the material is so strong that they literally intertwine with each other, so the end result - OSB board - is very durable, does not crumble or fall apart.

Whatever option you choose, you cannot do without a wooden beam - it is needed for the frame of the building.

Only the frame is made from wooden beams; for the remaining elements - roof, floor, ceiling, trim, etc., lumber (usually pine) can be used.

Before you start laying the floor, do not forget to dry the timber material - it must be dry to avoid shrinkage and deformation that occurs when the wood dries.

If you are finishing external walls with clapboard, then it should also be completely dry.

In addition to wood and foam blocks, you will need insulation, asbestos cement sheets, roofing felt and other materials for processing and fastening.

If environmental friendliness is important to you, then you can use more wooden elements: timber, boards, etc.

They can be used to make floors, frames, wall decoration, etc. In this case, you will need tools for cutting and installing wood.

The first stage of construction from foam blocks is the construction of the foundation: it is on it that the future floor will be located.

If you are planning to build a small garden house with your own hands from brick, concrete or stone, you need to make a strip foundation; if from wood and foam blocks, a columnar foundation will suffice.

For the foundation itself, concrete, rubble concrete or any stone of natural origin is most often chosen.

Look at the photo of the foundation being poured.

Before laying the walls, a rough timber is placed on the foundation - it will create the outline of the walls. Secure with regular nails.

Between the foundation and the first row of timber you need to make waterproofing (usually using roofing felt).

As the basis of the frame, 4 pillars are made of timber - they need to be dug in each corner of the perimeter. They are attached from below using long nails. The roof is laid on the frame.

How to make a frame, see the photo.

After fastening, the frame should become rigid - now it can be finished inside and out. It is necessary to place pieces of timber into the edges of the corners (secured with nails). Tow made of flax is placed between the beams.

Door frames are installed immediately.

The foundation (beams) of the first floor are laid directly on the strip foundation. A subfloor is laid on top - it is made from planed boards.

Then you need to make a screed and place the insulation. It is recommended to lay the finished floor a year after the subfloor is laid, because... the boards shrink and cracks appear.

The subfloor is covered with roofing felt, and thermal insulation material is used as waterproofing.

Next year you can cover the floor with laminate or regular boards - depending on how you want it to look.

Watch a video on how to build a garden frame house and repeat all the stages of construction.

How to insulate and decorate a house?

If you decide to build a garden frame house with your own hands from foam blocks or OSB, then you are in luck, because this material itself is quite warm. Insulation of walls is carried out only from the outside.

Insulation of internal walls is not carried out due to the fact that condensation may form.

After the walls have been insulated, they are finished, primarily for interior decoration (usually finished with siding).

Before you start insulating, you need to prepare the walls. First, their surface is cleaned, then they are finished with a primer.

After drying, the walls are treated with plaster in two layers - after this, insulation can be carried out.

After plastering, the wall should be level. The second layer is covered with reinforcing plaster, which will make the surface of the walls level. Insulation is made using this material.

In general, this process is quite difficult, and if you do not have experience, then it is better to entrust the insulation of a house made of foam blocks or OSB to professionals.

The most commonly used materials for insulation are mineral wool, thermal panels or polystyrene.

The latter is the cheapest, so if you want to make economical insulation, choose it.

The most attractive is thermal panels. They will provide not only insulation of the house, but also a decent appearance of the exterior interior.

Exterior decoration of the house

After insulating the house, finishing will be required. As a rule, they choose finishing with siding - it looks good and is suitable for any type of building.

The advantages of finishing with siding include light weight, ease of installation, durability and reasonable price.

In the photo below you can see how the roof of the garden houses is arranged and how their external decoration is done.

You can choose any color of the material: look at the photo and decide which color is best for your site.

Siding cannot be applied directly to the walls - before this you need to mount and install the sheathing, on which the material will then be installed.

If you choose cladding with metal siding, then the only option for you is a galvanized profile - it is installed along the entire perimeter of the walls.

In addition to the profile, you will need to carry out waterproofing. When these points are completed, you can proceed to finishing the walls with siding.

The panels are attached to the starting strip, the top ones are fixed with self-tapping screws in the center. This is how all the panels are installed, rising in rows to the roof and windows of your house.

You should not try to fasten the panels very tightly - the normal condition for siding is a little free movement. When all the panels are laid, the top row is secured with a final strip.

The video below shows an overview of a frame garden house.

You can cope with finishing the house with siding using video and photo instructions.

Finishing with siding will not only protect your building from the influence of the external environment, but will also decorate the external interior, so it is recommended to choose this particular finishing material.

Interior decoration of the house

Interior decoration rather involves working with the interior of the house. First of all, think about proper delimitation of space - do not turn the house into incomprehensible cluttered areas.

Wood finishing is the most popular option, because it is the most natural material.

To decorate the walls, you can buy wooden or bamboo panels, or use what you have at your dacha.

Perhaps the most important and noticeable part of the garden house is the veranda. The appearance of the building depends on its interior.

Depending on the device, the veranda can be a separate space or an extension of the main room.

The photo below shows the interior decoration of the garden house.

Decorating the interior of the veranda is not a troublesome task. The main requirement is more open space.

You can build it open or equip it with removable frames. Here you can also organize a summer kitchen or dining room.

The “natural” interior of the veranda will be well complemented by baskets and vases with flowers, wicker furniture or a wooden table.

It is better to abandon plastic materials in favor of natural ones - this applies to all home decoration.

The floor can be covered with bamboo rugs or wood panels.

See photos of the arrangement of the veranda and other rooms of the garden house - they will help you create the interior of your own building.

Have you purchased a summer cottage? Then we can safely congratulate you on the beginning of your dacha life! Surely this was a long-awaited event for you, and now you are looking forward to growing your own fruits, vegetables and just a wonderful vacation as far as possible from the bustle of the city. Very often, plots are sold with houses already built on them, but if this is not your case, and you definitely want to build a summer house yourself, then our article is for you. Today we’ll talk about the types of country houses, materials for their construction and how to inexpensively build a country house with your own hands.

How to save money

Mostly for a dacha they choose small compact houses, consisting of a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and veranda. Building a country house with your own hands is not necessarily a highly costly and time-consuming process. It is quite possible to choose an inexpensive house project that meets all your requirements for comfort and convenience. If the budget is strictly limited, then you can save on building materials. The main thing is that the building is safe. Before starting construction, you need to choose the exact location of the future house, choose a ready-made one or create your own project and decide on materials.

Selecting a location

Construction of country houses is a must starts with choosing a location. Basically, the area of ​​such a house is from 24 to 30 square meters. Larger dimensions are used much less frequently; more often than not, this is no longer a home for spending the summer season, but a place where a large family can live all year round. When planning the location of the house, you must mainly rely on the requirements of your gardening association. But there are also basic requirements that do not depend on the region and local administration. Namely:

To avoid flooding during periods of heavy rainfall and melting snow, it is better to build a dacha on an elevated place. Excess moisture causes faster deterioration of the materials you will be building with. This is especially true for frame wooden houses.

Types of country houses

Most often, one-story buildings with an open or closed veranda are erected at the dacha. Very popular cottages with attic- since it can store a considerable amount of things that are not used daily. If there is no attic space, then the roof will be the ceiling. There are three most common types of country houses:

• log house;
• frame country house;
• block or brick house.

But what if you have a large family, but there is not as much space for construction as you would like? There is a wonderful way out - build a two-story house. The first floor can be used as a kitchen and living room, as well as a terrace, but on the second floor there will be excellent rooms for relaxation.

When designing your dacha, take care of insulation. Despite the fact that a summer house is used in warm seasons and requires insulation of the walls and floor as such, there are also rainy, cold days on which you will certainly want to warm up. Mostly, summer residents use heating devices such as convectors, oil radiators and electric heaters. But if you wish, you can also include the construction of a stove or fireplace in your house design.

Material selection

If you have already prepared a project for your house, then it’s time to get started selection of materials for its construction. The total cost of the house, its comfort and appearance directly depend on the choice of building materials.

The most popular material is undoubtedly wood. Many people choose wood due to its environmental friendliness, pleasant smell and relatively low price. All that remains is to choose whether the construction will be made of timber or logs, or even give preference to the frame type. Despite the high flammability of this material, you should not be so afraid of building with wood. Indeed, today there is an incredible range of various impregnations and other coatings that protect wooden coverings from the effects of fire and minimize the risk of a sudden fire. Well, in general, it all depends on you - how careful and responsible you are in matters of safety.

Build a brick house- a much more expensive idea. But there is a significant advantage over wood - the durability of such a structure and higher fire safety, since it is much less susceptible to fire. And if you install a stove or heating in such a house, you can easily spend the winter. Probably the only drawback is the high financial costs and the longer construction process. You can safely add block houses made of foam concrete and expanded clay concrete blocks to this same category.

Most often, several types of materials are used at once. For example, the house itself is framed and built of wood, and the foundation is built of concrete and bricks. In principle, this option can be called optimal, since it includes a moisture-resistant foundation and an excellent basis for frame wooden walls. It is the construction of this type of country house that we will consider in more detail.

Construction stages

To begin with clearly calculate the quantity of all building materials, which will be needed to build a house. Decide in advance on color and texture solutions. The amount of materials purchased directly depends on the design of your house. If you do not have the time or desire to carry out detailed calculations of all expenses, then you can buy a prefabricated model of a finished house. This will simplify the construction process - after all, you only need to prepare the required area and, in fact, the assembly itself. But, if you still want to build a house inside and out with your own hands, then be patient and begin this, although not easy, but pleasant task.

Foundation

You need to purchase:

• sand, cement, crushed stone and expanded clay (middle fraction);
• boards and bars are not of the highest quality;
• concrete blocks or bricks;
• roofing felt or other vapor barrier material.

There are two main types of foundations for summer houses: strip and columnar. Which one to choose is only your decision. Columnar is chosen much more often due to the lower need for building materials and simple design, which can be easily handled alone. A strip foundation is stronger and more durable, but much more building materials will be required. And the construction process itself is quite labor-intensive - you need to dig trenches around the perimeter of the house and all rooms, isolate it from moisture, lay reinforcement and fill everything with concrete mortar. Moreover, it takes almost a month for such a foundation to harden.

Walls and roof

For the construction of walls and roofs purchase in advance:

Next, the support beams are installed at a distance of at least 60 centimeters from each other. They are attached to the crown bars using metal corners. After this, you can start building walls. You can assemble the frame separately and attach it ready-made, or you can start assembling it directly on the strapping bars. The size of the bars for frame walls should be no less than 10 by 10 centimeters. If you use boards, their cross-section should be no less than 5 by 15 centimeters.

When installing vertical racks, do not forget about openings for windows and doors. The door opening must be further strengthened with an additional stand. After the frame is erected, they begin to cover it. Most often they use lining. It is advisable to carry out the sheathing process before covering the roof, as this will strengthen the entire structure and add rigidity to the walls.

When installing the roof you need to decide on its type. A flat roof is simpler and more economical to implement, but the most popular is still a gable roof. The rafter structure of such a roof can be layered or hanging. For a small house without load-bearing walls inside, a hanging rafter system is quite suitable. Hanging rafters are secured using special tightening and thereby relieve excess load on the walls. The layered system presupposes the presence of load-bearing walls, on which the rafters are additionally supported. After installing the rafters and slope elements, you can begin laying the roof.

This process begins with vapor barrier film laying- this is done perpendicular to the rafter system, and each subsequent layer must overlap the previous one. Only after this can you begin laying corrugated board or other material you have chosen for covering. Don't forget to organize a drainage system.

So, the walls are up, the roof is covered - and this means it’s time to start installing windows and doors. Following this, you can insulate the walls and floors and do interior finishing work.

When purchasing a plot of land, the most pressing question becomes how to build a dacha and, importantly, how to build a dacha cheaply.

There are many ways to build a country house. You can build from brick, expanded clay concrete, wood, gas silicate blocks or a combination of materials. Each material has advantages and disadvantages, so the choice depends on the purpose of the building and the functions required of it.

In order to build a cottage inexpensively with your own hands, you should pay attention to frame construction. Frame houses are built very quickly, and if you use inexpensive finishing materials, such houses are much cheaper than others.

Our example shows how to properly build a summer house on a frame basis. We will build a one-story house, with a veranda and a gable roof.

Stages of construction of a dacha

1. Pouring the foundation

Any construction begins with a foundation. For our frame house we will need a columnar foundation. First, using a hand drill, we drill holes 80-100 cm deep around the perimeter and throughout the entire area of ​​the future structure. A tube of roofing felt with a diameter of 20 cm is used as formwork. We insert roofing felt sleeves into the corner holes and fill them with concrete mixture, insert the studs.

Then we fill in all the other piles, level them, compact the earth around the pillars. We leave the concrete to “mature”.

2. Bottom frame frame

From boards with a cross section of 15x5 cm laid on the foundation, we make the bottom trim. We secure all trim boards with screws. We align the lower part of the frame and make grooves for the floor joists, having previously marked their location.

We attach the logs to the frame and foundation pillars. Be sure to do an antiseptic treatment of the boards.

3. Subfloor

We lay subfloor boards on evenly spaced joists. After fixing them, cover them with glassine paper, attach the bars and lay a layer of foam plastic.

We add bars at the joints of moisture-resistant OSB boards and put another layer of polystyrene foam. We seal the gaps and cracks with foam.

We complete the creation of the platform by laying 12 mm OSB boards and securing them with nails.

4. Walls of the house

There are several ways to build the walls of a frame house. You can initially build the entire frame from load-bearing boards, and then start covering the walls, or build each wall separately. In our case, the frame of a separate wall is first fixed, and then sheathed with slabs. Be sure to use jibs to support the structure.

In the right places we make openings for windows and doors, strengthening them with additional bars. We install interior partitions and top trim.

5. Rafter system

After the final construction of the walls, we begin to install rafters, pre-made from timber according to a template. The structure is reinforced with a horizontal lintel.

We cover the rafters with waterproofing material and make the roof sheathing and counter-lattice. Attach anti-condensation film. We cover the roof with a metal profile with a wave height of 21 mm. We cover the facades with slabs.

6. Exterior finishing

All exterior walls of the house are covered with siding over OSB boards. We install windows and doors.

If you have recently purchased a summer cottage, then the issue of building a small country house is very relevant for you. You can store household items, expensive tools in it, as well as create a small lounge and kitchen. In this article we will look at how to make construction of a country house inexpensively with your own hands, and also find out which materials you can save a lot on.

Construction of a country house inexpensively with your own hands

Of course, like any construction, it also needs to start with calculating the budget. How much money are you willing to spend on this project? If enough, then you can think about building a brick house. Otherwise, it is recommended to use borrowed frame house technology. The advantages of this method are obvious - saving money, as well as the efficiency of the work performed. In just a couple of weeks your house will be ready for use.

Stages of construction of a country house:

Creating a project. If you do not want to contact a specialized agency, then you can create your own project that will be convenient for you personally. The main thing that you have to do in any case is to show your finished project to professionals in order to avoid possible problems in the future. As for the area of ​​the future home, it all depends on your personal preferences and capabilities. 40 sq.m. is quite enough.

Purchase of building materials. What materials are needed to build a country house with your own hands? Today the market offers a huge variety of high-quality, efficient and durable materials that are suitable for any construction:

• Log or beam. Wood will be needed in any case. Depending on the quality of the raw materials, the cost of the timber will fluctuate. Carefully inspect the material; it is important that it is thoroughly dried.
• Brick or cinder block. They have low cost, durability and reliability. Although building a house using these materials will not greatly affect costs, be prepared to spend a significant amount on subsequent wall finishing.
• SIP panels. High-quality, modern materials that not only save your money, but also time. A house made from SIP panels is warm, dry and comfortable.

Important! If you want to save money on materials, study the market thoroughly. You will be able to find high-quality raw materials at a big discount. You should not focus on branded companies, since they are the ones who mark up more than 50% on the price.

Where to start building a country house on a summer cottage?

The most important element of any country house is the foundation. The service life of the structure, its reliability and strength depend on it. Of course, the foundation should not be neglected, since any mistake or wrong action will immediately result in cracks and splits in the walls. Before digging a trench for the foundation, carefully calculate the weight of future materials - walls, roofing, sheathing, insulation and finishing. All this adds kilograms. Typically, the depth of the foundation of a house should be at least 1 m. After pouring, it must be left for a month to compact and dry.

Immediately after the foundation, you can begin building the frame and installing the roof truss system. It is also worth considering high-quality sewerage. If there is a central sewer system, then you should buy a septic tank with outlets to the irrigation fields.

So, is it possible to build a country house? inexpensively with your own hands? Certainly. The main thing is to plan and not rush to buy materials from the first person you meet.

Do-it-yourself summer houses for relaxation

Most summer residents live outside the city only in the summer and do not need expensive permanent homes. They want a roof over their heads and living space large enough to accommodate family members.

How to build a house with your own hands?

An optimal economic pension is best suited for this purpose.

Advantages of summer cottages

House boards are popular due to the following advantages:

• High level of construction - 2-6 weeks
• Low cost - from 3 to 8 thousand rubles per square meter. m versus 18 thousand rubles. per square meter. m for houses with brick walls
• Low weight, allowing the use of cheap, shallow foundations
• Resistance to freezing forces
• The ability to manufacture parts at the factory, which improves the quality of construction and simplifies assembly
• No shrinkage
• Wide range of architectural solutions
• Ability to warm up and adapt at home for life

Panel house design

The house consists of a wooden or metal frame covered with panels.

The metal frame is made of a rectangular cross-section, and the wooden frame is made of a rod. For external coatings:

• Lamels
• OSB panels
• Profiled film
• Moisture resistant plates
• Asbestos cement slabs
• toilet

The inner leather is made of moisture-resistant materials.

If the house is to be lived in all year round, the walls are lined with insulation.

Construction of panel houses

Construction companies offer services for the construction of turnkey panel holiday homes or a set of parts for their own construction. The first option frees the builder from most of the problems, while the other allows you to build a house for your dacha and save money.

Project selection

A quality project is the basis for success in building a house.

Serious companies that produce panel houses and key building kits offer dozens of standard models and offer custom design services.

Individual projects are quite expensive, so they are rarely used for economy-class houses.

Creating a standard project allows you to save on design and a wide selection of already prepared architectural solutions - choose the desired design and location of the house.

foundations

Under the light panel house, spacers and notches are used with columns and strips and screw pilots.

• Small hidden posts reduce costs and reduce construction time.

  Columns are installed at intervals of 1.5 to 3 meters under external walls and columns, at the corners of the building and in places where internal walls connect to external walls. They are made from logs, concrete, red brick, bentonite and base blocks. The depth of the coating is up to 40 cm, the cross-section should exceed the thickness of the walls. To increase stability, the columns are connected to wooden or reinforced concrete beams

• Countertops do not allow for a warm basement.

  If the design is included in the design, a shallow, recessed base underlay is applied under the exterior walls, and a foundation base is provided under the interior walls. The depth of coverage and width of the tape are the same as for pillars. The belt is made from concrete, quarries or foundation blocks

• On weak floors it is based on screwdrivers.

  Using them allows the house to rest on solid ground that is deeper than the surface. Helicopter bases can be built in 1 to 2 days without the use of heavy equipment

frame

The panel of a prefabricated house can be made from a kit made in a factory or from purchased materials, in-house or from a contractor.

Turnkey construction of a house eliminates most of the problems for the developer, with the exception of monitoring the execution of construction work - it is impossible to check the quality of the frame assembly on its surface.

To self-assemble the frame from factory parts, you must follow the instructions and wiring diagram included with the kit.

The work resembles a design meeting and is entirely possible for a developer with experience in construction.

The cheapest, but most worrisome option is to build the lumber itself. Depending on the size and number of floors of the house, the frame is made of a rod 100x100 - 150x150 mm or 50 mm thick.

The frame is installed in the following order:

1. At the top of the base there is waterproofing of the roofing material
2. For the foundation using built-in parts and anchor bolts to attach the frame (thresholds) - beams, it is located at the edge of the house and under the prairie
3. Place logs and give rough soil.

   Fits on the edges of the base or beam beam

4. Install vertical skeleton posts - first on the corners and then on the walls of the 0.6 m shelf, installed on the cutout, sawn in the bottom panel, securing the clamp and nails and securing the first temporary and then permanent remainder.

   At the same time, they constantly control their verticality and position in the same plane. The corner posts are made of sticks and you can use the same 50mm width edge plate for intermediate use

5. In the upper places the top tape works. Framed door and window openings

All wooden structures must be impregnated with antiseptic compounds.

Overlapping and covering

Wooden columns are placed on the top frame of the frame and secured using structural clamps.

Width 3-4 meters - plate size 50x150 mm with a large range - 100x150-150x150 mm. The beam is 0.6 m. In this case, 1.8 m wide screens (modules) are used to cover the ceiling.

Rafting clusters are made on the floor on a panel 50x120-50x150 m.

First install the outer rafts, and then the intermediate elements that control the position of the rafters in one plane. Then make a box and close the roof. Roofing materials for a home should be light, for example:

• Bituminous shingles
• Metal panel
• Profiled film
• Bituminous slate

Wall coverings

The width of the screens should be equal to the degree of installation of the frame rails and the length to the height of the walls.

Security guards are on offer at the workplace in the following order:

1. Plates assembled
2. On the frame there was a polyethylene film as a vapor barrier
3. Guide the inner frame frame
4. Frame facing, heater inserted inside
5. Wind resistant protective membrane
6. Get outer skin

The coat should be compressed over the frame by half the width of the frame frame to hide them.

The perimeter protection frame is covered with a heater and is tightly inserted between the frame frames. Application is done using nails. When using sheet material, it may be without a frame. The cutting blades are attached directly to the frame and the heater is inserted between the posts.

As can be seen from the description, the construction of a country house with a team of two or three people of average qualification.

Using factory modules significantly speeds up assembly. In just a few weeks after you start installing the frame, you can move into your cottage and enjoy the outdoors.

Country houses made of foam blocks: building a house over the summer

Country houses made of foam blocks are lightweight and fireproof.

Thanks to the large dimensions of the blocks and precise dimensions, construction is carried out at high speed. It is quite possible to build a house over the summer.

The use of foam blocks in the construction of various structures guarantees heat conservation and fast pace of work. A country house made of this material will cost more than one made of wood, but less than one made of brick.

What are the benefits of foam blocks?

• They have a precise geometric shape and the dimensions are well maintained.

  Therefore, they can be installed quickly

• Moisture resistant
• Inexpensive
• Strength increases over time
• They have very low thermal conductivity.

  According to this indicator, it is one of the best materials for construction.

• They have a small specific gravity. Therefore, they are manufactured in fairly large sizes, which has a positive effect on the speed of wall construction
• Easy to handle

But there are also disadvantages

• Cannot bear heavy loads
• Slowly gaining strength.

  In this case, shrinkage occurs.

  DIY country house 6x6. Photo report. Part 1

  And as a result, cracks may occur.

Use high-quality autoclaved foam concrete - it is less susceptible to shrinkage.

For the construction of one-story country houses, the strength of foam concrete is quite sufficient. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen the upper load-bearing row with reinforcement.

Foundation

Usually, when building a country house, a shallow strip foundation is used.

It can be done in different ways.

• From prefabricated blocks laid without connection, freely
• Made from blocks, with reinforced belts installed above and below the blocks
• Made from rigidly connected reinforced concrete blocks
• Made from monolithic reinforced concrete

The choice of method is made depending on the properties of the soil.

The reinforced tape option is suitable for both subsidence and highly heaving soils. The width of the tape is made to exceed the thickness of the walls by 10-20 cm. Laying depth is up to 60 cm.

Base – within 40 cm.

On heaving soils, it is necessary to install a cushion made of non-freezing material.

Construction of the foundation

Stages of making a strip reinforced foundation with shallow depth.

1. Marking
2. Development of trenches.

   If the soil does not crumble, trenches are made the width of the foundation. Their walls will act as formwork

3. Filling a 30-centimeter sand-gravel cushion in layers, compacting each layer.

   The thickness of each layer is 10 cm

4. Laying waterproofing material on the bottom and walls of the trench
5. Installation of formwork under the above-ground part of the foundation (basement)
6. Installation of fittings
7. Pouring concrete

Foundation quality conditions

To build a quality foundation, the following conditions must be met.

• The correct proportions of components in the concrete mixture
• There should be no air bubbles (voids) in the concrete.

  To achieve this, use a vibrator or bayonet the concrete with a metal rod.

• There should be no interruptions during filling

After pouring, until the concrete hardens, it requires maintenance. It must be protected from the sun and watered in hot weather. Insulate in cold weather.

Rolled waterproofing material is laid on top of the foundation.

The overlap of stripes must be at least 15 cm.

Wall masonry

Before you start building walls, you need to check the horizontalness of the foundation. The permissible height difference is 3 cm.

If necessary, leveling should be done with cement mortar.

The upper plane of the blocks laid in the wall must be horizontal. That is, not only the edges running along the wall must be horizontal, but also those across them.

Horizontal control is carried out using a level. The position of the block is adjusted if necessary with a rubber hammer.

First row

The laying of the first row must be done with extreme precision - the accuracy of the construction of the entire house depends on this.

• Find the highest point of the foundation using a level.

  The first block is laid in the corner closest to this point

• Then blocks are installed in all other corners
• A mooring cord is stretched between the corner blocks along the outer edge of the wall.

  The first row is filled in using it

• If any unevenness in the masonry is formed, they are eliminated with a plane or sanding board. Dirt and dust are removed with a brush

Reinforcement

The reinforcement is laid on foam blocks after filling the first row, and then after laying every fourth row.

A smoothly curved rod is placed in the corners.

• Using a grinder, grooves of 4x4 cm are made at a distance from the edge of the block of at least 6 cm
• The grooves are cleaned of dust and moistened with water.
• Cement mortar is placed in the groove to half the depth
• A rod moistened with water is laid
• The recess is completely filled with solution

A monolithic belt is made at the floor level.

It connects load-bearing walls around the entire perimeter and gives spatial rigidity to the entire structure.

For laying foam blocks the following can be used:

• Cement-sand mortar
• Cement-sand mortar with added lime
• Adhesive for wall blocks

The solution with lime does not set so quickly and has good plasticity.

The glue allows you to make thin seams.

It has a fairly liquid consistency and does not set for a long time.

Block cutting

Usually a row cannot be laid using only whole blocks. You have to supplement it with chopped ones.

You can cut blocks with a hand hacksaw. The cutting line is drawn with a pencil on two adjacent sides to ensure an accurate cut. The cut surface is leveled with a sanding board or plane. A smooth surface is necessary to ensure good adhesion between the solution and the block.

Load-bearing walls

After laying the first row, you need to wait 1-2 hours until the solution sets.

Then the wall masonry continues.

• Corner blocks are laid and leveled
• The mooring is being stretched
• The row is filled with foam blocks
• Irregularities are removed with a plane or sanding board

The ligation sutures should be at least 10 cm.

The minimum length of the outer blocks (corner, opening) is 11.5 cm.

Internal load-bearing walls are connected to external ones by bandaging.

Partitions

1. The junction of the partition is indicated on the load-bearing wall
2. At this point, flexible connections (anchors) made of stainless steel are inserted into the seam. One end is in the load-bearing wall, the other is in the seam of the partition
3. Anchors are secured with nails

Anchors are inserted into the load-bearing wall through a row.

It is allowed not to secure them with nails, but simply press them into the solution.

Door and window openings

You can buy factory-made lintels for ceilings, or they can be made from homemade hollow foam blocks, having a P-shaped cross-section.

1. Mark the locations of the cuts on the foam block
2. Having cut through the grooves, chop off the inner part with a construction hammer
3. Hollow blocks in the shape of an inverted letter U are laid over the opening on wooden supports.

   These can be boards or beams. The supports can be nailed to the side walls of the opening

4. 12-16 mm reinforcement is placed inside the cavity and concrete is poured. The supports remain until the concrete hardens.

You can lay foam blocks over the opening and on metal corners.

Roof

Wooden beams are usually used to construct floors in a foam block house.

The type of roof, its design and shape may vary. Its construction is not much different from this type of work when constructing houses using other building materials.

Exterior decoration

Although foam concrete does not penetrate to a great depth when exposed to moisture, the surface layer absorbs it quite well.

So if the walls are not covered with exterior finishing, they darken and begin to collapse.

The following can be used as exterior finishing for walls made of foam blocks:

• Hinged cladding installed with a gap (siding, decorative panels, house siding with imitation timber)
• Decorative plaster
• Composite panels
• Natural and artificial stone
• Painting with silicone paints

The construction of a country house from foam blocks is relatively inexpensive, and construction occurs quickly.

If you have some construction skills, it is quite possible to make such a house with your own hands.

When building a house on a summer cottage, everyone wants to build one that will be comfortable to live in.

But coziness and comfort depend on the internal layout of the house. First of all.

And the layout itself depends on the size of the building, the number of people in the family, and the presence of small children. It also depends on whether you plan to live in the country only in the summer, or whether you want to come here all year round. There are some things you should definitely consider when deciding how to layout your home.

Layout of a one-story country house

Even a small house should have at least three rooms:

The kitchen can be positioned so that the entrance to the house is through it.

In this case, the kitchen room will also serve as a vestibule, which traps cold air if you come to the dacha in winter.

During cooking, the air in the kitchen heats up noticeably, which is also good for heating the house. This option is much better than building a cramped vestibule.

If you want to make a canopy, you can make it out of glass. Using profiles, double glazed windows and glass doors.

If you use your dacha all year round, you need to provide additional heating.

For example, you can plan a country house with a stove in the kitchen, the back wall of which opens into the next room.

This stove will heat two rooms at once. Well, you can install an electric heater in the bedroom. There are many economical modern models.

It should be taken into account that the house heats up much faster if good quality double-glazed windows are installed on the windows. It should be noted that the warmth in the house does not depend on the size of the windows, but on how well they are glazed. The best option is high-quality plastic windows with several panes.

If a country house made of laminated veneer lumber contains one room and a kitchen, then the living room is divided by a partition.

A bed is installed behind the partition. This house is suitable for a family of two people.

If there is one more room in the house, albeit a small one, then it is quite possible to arrange a nursery there.

And the dacha will already accommodate a family of four.

These tips are also suitable for those who already have a small garden house. But many people want to increase the number of rooms and are thinking about building a second floor.

Features of the construction of the second floor

Many people think that a great option for increasing living space would be to arrange a second floor.

But you first need to find out how strong the foundation under the house is. It is likely that it will not be able to support the additional weight. You need to find out about this in advance, and not after cracks begin to appear in the walls and the house begins to collapse.

In addition to this, there are some other features. They must be taken into account before building the second floor.

If there is enough free space on the dacha plot, then it is always better to build a spacious one-story house.

It costs less, and living in a one-story house is more pleasant.

No need to climb stairs. This is especially important if there are elderly people in the house. After all, stairs in two-story dachas are usually steep. They are easier to build than flat ones. In addition, it is much more difficult to heat a two-story house than a one-story house.

If you are building a second floor, there is no need to make concrete floors. It's easier to make them from wood. The house will be warmer. It is best to lift the stairs from the kitchen if it is located immediately outside the front door.

Heat will not escape to the second floor from the living room.

On the second floor there are usually one or two bedrooms. It is best to keep bedrooms small to make them easier to heat. After all, living in a country house, a person enters the bedroom only to sleep.

But, it must be repeated that if the area of ​​the plot allows, then it is better to build a more spacious one-story house instead of the second floor.

Construction of a terrace

Since people spend almost all their time outside in the summer, a covered terrace needs to be added to the house.

It can be located on the entrance side, then the terrace will also play the role of a porch. It needs to be provided with a good roof that will protect it from bad weather and the hot sun. It is also necessary to provide for the fastening of mosquito nets.

Some tips were given on how to make your country house more comfortable.

10 steps on how to build a country house over the summer

If a person plans to build a dacha from scratch, then he can plan it the way his heart desires. But not everything is as simple as it might seem. Below are the most common mistakes that people make when thinking about what kind of house to build on their summer cottage.

Of course, everyone’s tastes differ, but still, we will talk about those things that help reduce construction costs and increase comfort.

Mistakes when planning a country house

The house is too big
There is no need to build a house too big.

Thick walls in the house
Walls that are too thick require a more powerful foundation, and therefore extra costs.

Modern technologies make it possible to build lightweight houses, for example, frame houses, or from timber. Good insulation solves all heating difficulties, and the choice of high-quality material and qualified builders makes the house very durable.

Construction of a basement or ground floor
There is no need to create a large basement or basement floor unnecessarily.

These premises require high-quality waterproofing, insulation, ventilation and heating. For all this you need to hire specialists. Additional costs for building materials are required. Very significant. Also, do not build a base that is too high. This also increases costs.

If you plan to build a fireplace in the house, then you need to build it in the middle so that the heat from it spreads to adjacent rooms.

A fireplace built against an outer wall is completely irrational.

It seems that all things are very simple. But if you avoid these mistakes when planning your house, you can significantly save on building materials and construction time.

Posted on: 4-2-2016

For summer residents who are just going to build their first small house, my selection of 15 photos of country house design ideas will be very helpful. I must say, there is something to learn here and something to be surprised by, but what can I say - it’s better to see for yourself!

I draw your attention to the fact that there are no diagrams or plans here.

All material is provided for inspiration only. But, an experienced builder, if you show him a picture of a structure you like, he can easily build, if not exactly the same, then close to the original.

The first house simply captivated me with its canopy with a pointed roof. If it weren’t for this roof shape, it would have been a very ordinary country house! Agree, such a canopy roof, supported by slender wooden columns, gave the whole house sophistication and elegance!

A beautiful country house, to say the least!

And in this miniature house I really liked the turret at the very top. In terms of area, it is like a temporary shed, but the beautiful decoration of the walls, windows, tiles on the roof and this turret make it almost a palace!

By the way, flower boxes mounted under the window greatly improve the appearance of the facade, no matter how small it is!

This house is just very cute, especially the lattice windows and door.

This country house caused a storm of delight among my whole family.

I showed it to them, saying that we would build the same one for ourselves at the dacha. And a miniature terrace, and dormer windows on the roof! Just a peek. A miniature copy of a beautiful country mansion!

There is a lot of light in this house.

Choosing a garden house and its phased construction

because it has very large windows. But even in cloudy weather it is light and gives you a feeling of greater unity with nature! The pediment of this house is designed in an unusual way - it is decorated with two balusters.

And in this house there is a second light under the roof. Since there are no windows on one side, something like dormer windows are made under the roof itself.

True, from the photo it is clear that the owners use it as a workshop, but for newly-minted summer residents it could also serve as a shelter at night and from the rain.

A small wooden house with a canopy across the entire width of the roof.

A good solution - here you have a patio terrace, the wall of the house will protect you from the wind, and the roof canopy will protect you from rain and sun.

This little white house is just a fairy tale!

Elegant, romantic, with a pergola attached to it, it invites you to settle in and not know any grief! Still, white color adds sophistication to any building, even a very small one.

This interesting asymmetrical house has a frame structure and is lined with wood.

The originality of this building lies not only in its unusual roof, but also in the glazing of two walls, forming a “transparent corner” at the exit.

This house is simply attractive and well built.

The blue house under a tiled roof with white curtains looks very attractive.

It feels like the house has a caring owner!

And this bright house in front of a small pond made me feel tender. It is so small and so harmonious with its blue door and windows with tulle curtains that I wanted to sit down in front of it, dip my feet in the pond and daydream for an hour or two.

This house is made of wood, although it is low, it is very nice.

Well, the last house in the series of 15 best is a house with a trapezoidal canopy.

Beautiful, elegant, tastefully decorated - what else can you say! And there is a terrace next to it - there is a place to admire the stars in the evening!

Ideas for small cozy country houses

We could stop here, but there are so many ideas for small houses that I always want to look for something and share my finds with you.

Let me remind you that in America and Canada, the hobby of designing and creating houses on wheels of unusual shapes is very common. These are real residential buildings. I will continue to introduce you to interesting ideas for such houses. After all, if we exclude the wheels, then such houses will look great on our plots! Here is an overview video from the creators of this wonderful house.

There is no translation, but everything is clear.

My construction and life in the country

I would like to tell my story when we decided to live in the country and start all over again. In general, it so happened that our apartments did not exist, and in recent years we lived in rented apartments. And so life within the walls of others and frequent trips brought us - I wanted my own, peace and stability. But the way we live is not rich and can't buy anything, you decide to buy a Dacha (4sotki) and then another, we left the pages very cheap.

These sites are the same, we prepared that they were forced to leave all the bushes and trees from their homes, and yet they had the resources that I introduced sandstone and sand into the future of our home.

But after a few days we decided to give them a chance to defeat the house in the village, and then I brought the plate and two evenings (as I worked during the day), the house was almost ready. It looked like a trailer, but we were not aware of the beauty, it was already the end of September and cold and winter would soon be upon us. Below is a photo of creating a time zone

Construction of a cottage in the country - the beginning

He built it twice - he wanted it faster, but it got dark early, so he took a battery and a lamp with him. So, this house was looking for another night - it was not yet dark.

It worked like a screwdriver and wire, the design was very simple, so everything was done very quickly.

Cabin construction in the country

I then brought in some foam and the house was insulated with 10cm thick foam and foam sealed all the seams between the foam and all the openings.

He made the front door. And the interior, while there were bare slab walls. The next day he brought 200 pieces. red brick and it took two nights to build the brick. A photograph of the furnace design has not survived.

Construction of holiday homes

House dimensions 6.3 * 3m.

interior space 6*2.7, common living room 16.2 square meters, which had to accommodate four adults (me, mom and my two sisters) in the country, electricity, and this is what I thought about in advance. I made a wind generator, I installed a small battery and bought a 12/220 volt converter. The power of such a power plant was very small, because the wind turbine was small and was an irregular dean, also very low. But sometimes one energy-saving light bulb is enough.

All in all, it was a painful start, but a week into this construction, we moved into this period. The transfer took place on October 2, the same day as my sister’s birthday.

In the fall the woods were ready for the winter and a porch was added to the house.

The house is insulated externally with a vapor barrier, covered with film and internal shiny insulation. As a result, in the first winter we found out.

Winter in the country

In winter we were already at home with wind power for every 150 watts, there was enough electricity for lights and sometimes on TV, just as the wind was very weak and there was not enough battery power, but I saved everything for improvement, including the power plant.

I described everything about the plant in the section “My little adventures”,

Therefore, winter lived in such spartan conditions. My sister and I worked, paid in the spring, having accepted a loan 3 years ago, and at the beginning of the summer a new loan appeared, which spent the money on small items and bought a Chinese engine (110ss) to kill a tree, I went to him for a trailer trailer.

We bought a chain saw and two solar panels. up to 100 watts, so they were buying new batteries for the power plant until March.

In the summer, the porch was covered with luminous insulation to keep it cool in the sun, and solar panels were installed on the wall.

Even the lights on the street and in the house repeated the wiring.

Solar panels

In the summer, the wood was prepared for the entire year, and the motorcycle made 35 trips from nearby forest stands.

So I bought corrugated cardboard, wood, cement, and I put a new corrugated panel fence on the front.

Wood collection

At the same time, I poured a concrete pad under the base of the future of our house.

There was no swimming under the foundation, it simply grew and leveled the surface and spilled a 40 cm wide strip around the perimeter of the house.

How to build a house in Dachau: characteristics and construction phases

The thickness of the concrete is 10-15 cm. Below the photo are parts of the concrete. This is how we lived in the fall, photo after the rain, there was a bit of a mess outside as I searched and twisted the jars under the winter potatoes.

Life in the country

Life in the country

In addition, 11 meters were excavated in Dachau, I dug it myself, I was in a hurry for almost a month and poured concrete with concrete, but I finished it.

So, the tile broke through. He dug a basement on the site of the future house, filled the basement with concrete, and then made a hatch into the roof. Small details were done on details, but I will not list all the little things, only the important ones. I wrote about the break here - Well, with my job 2.

Fine

This year, at the beginning of spring, I took 7 plate cubes, bought ruins and cement and started with the main overflow.

The bottom part of the photo is the preparation of the irrigation panels. Last year the center of the concrete base under the furnace was flooded.

Foundation formwork

After installing the panel panels around the perimeter, he reinforced with a 10mm cast in two threads.

Then I invested in concrete and ended up like this.

Filling the foundation

The panel was attached with 6mm hex pins and once ejected it was easy to remove and remove the shell.

Filling the foundation

Then build the wall frame. The dimensions of the house are 6.30 * 10.80 m. The skeleton was placed alone, sometimes the truth helped the sister give or save something. All this has turned him into screws that pull themselves. bottom and top, then he used a homemade galvanized sheet metal plate.

Currently, the money for further construction has been completed.

Now you need to make money from corrugated cardboard and place a frame around the roof.

Continuation - second part of the frame

The pleasure of owning your own country plot is tripled if there is a country house on it. Indeed, in this case, you can not limit yourself to only seasonal work and cooking barbecue outdoors during the warm season. Today, the construction of dachas is gaining momentum. Moreover, “dacha construction” houses are built from a variety of materials: from stone to timber frames and panels made of chipboard and fiberboard. And in our material we will look at how to build a country house with your own hands and at the same time complete all the work with maximum productivity and economic benefit.

Choosing building material

Construction of dachas is a task no less important than the construction of a permanent residential building. After all, the durability and strength of the building will depend on how well the installation is done (even if it is frame technology). Let's look at some types of materials that are most often used for the installation of country houses, and we will understand what is best used to build a temporary shed in the country:

• Timber. An excellent material for those who do not know what to build a country house from. Moreover, you can use both the cheapest option - planed lumber, and the more expensive one - profiled or glued. A house made of timber will have an attractive appearance and also create an optimal indoor microclimate.
• Brick or any blocks. A house made from such materials will be more solid, but its cost will not be justified if you plan to use the building only seasonally. Although brick (or blocks) have no worse thermal conductivity than timber. Stone dacha construction will be reliable and strong.
• Frames and shields. Your own house, built using this technology, is considered the most acceptable option for a budget and seasonal building. And if the house is also additionally insulated, then it will be possible to spend the night in such a building even in winter. Using the example of frame-panel technology, we will analyze how to build a summer house with your own hands. And for clarity, we will attach photos and videos.

A few rules for quality construction

In order to facilitate the construction of a country house without later bringing unpleasant surprises, it is necessary to follow some requirements and recommendations regarding the installation of the house. So, we build a dacha with our own hands, taking into account the following rules/recommendations:

• First of all, we are designing a building for a summer house, the construction of which has started. For a seasonal house that will not be used all year round, the optimal parameters are 6x4 m or 6x6 m. A larger cottage will already be a capital building, which will require a greater investment of money and effort.
• In gardening associations, you can install a house with your own hands only if you step back 3 meters from your neighbor’s fence or from the boundaries of your neighbor’s property.
• A house must be built at least 5 meters from the front fence into the plot.
• All wooden buildings (including frame ones) should be located at a distance of 15 meters from each other. That is, if a neighbor also has a wooden house on the property, then you need to remove your building as much as possible for fire safety purposes.

Important: for a country house with your own hands, it is better to choose the highest point on the site. Thus, melt and rainwater will not cause trouble for the new dacha we are building. But if the plot is very small, and you want to build a good house, then in this case they give preference to a two-story house with bedrooms located in the upper part. A kitchen and living room are installed on the ground floor.

To simplify the construction process as much as possible, we recommend building a one-story country house with a gable roof and a small veranda. And below are step-by-step instructions for completing the work.

Advice: if you don’t want to bother with construction at all, then a novice craftsman can simply order a ready-made modular house, which is simply assembled on the site using a prepared foundation.

Building a dacha: stages of installation

For those who do not know how to build a summer house, our step-by-step instructions with a detailed description of all the points will be useful. It will start with preparing the foundation. But first, we will prepare all the necessary materials for the construction of the dacha. So, we will need:

• Cement and sand with crushed stone;
• Steel rods for reinforcement;
• Boards or panels for formwork;
• Concrete blocks or bricks;
• Ruberoid or bitumen mastic;
• Expanded clay;
• Beam with a section of 100x100 mm;
• Metal corners, studs and screws;
• Chipboard or fiberboard panels;
• Vapor barrier;
• Insulation;
• Roofing material (ondulin or corrugated sheeting).

So, in the recommendation “where to start building a summer house,” the first point is the installation of the foundation. A lightweight type of base - columnar - is suitable for a frame house. This option for constructing a foundation will not only significantly save your money, but will also serve as a reliable support for the building.

• Installation of support pillars begins with marking the ground. According to the project, pigeon holes of 50-70 cm are dug in all corners of the house and at the intersections of walls. It is advisable to expand the cross-section of the holes downwards.
• Then the soil in the pits is well compacted and covered with a 10 cm layer of sand. Medium-fraction expanded clay is poured on top. Everything is sealed well.
• Now formwork is installed in the pits (possibly permanent) and covered with waterproofing on the bottom and sides.
• Also in the pits you need to install 4 steel rods, connected by transverse rods with a pitch of 15 cm.
• The finished concrete solution is poured into the pits so that the reinforcement sinks 2-3 cm into the concrete. The poured pillars are left to dry for 3-4 weeks.

Important: the strip foundation is installed using the same technology, only in this case you need to dig not holes, but a trench around the perimeter of the dacha house which we are constructing.

Frame installation

As soon as the foundation pillars are dry, you can begin constructing the frame of the house. Namely, its lower platform. This will be the starting point for the walls and roof. Therefore, for the platform you can take a beam of a larger cross-section - 100x150 mm.

Important: when doing work at the dacha with your own hands, do not forget to treat the wood with antiseptics and fire retardants. This will increase the wood's resistance to burning or rotting. It will also repel rodents.

• So, along all the foundation pillars without exception, we lay timber frames. We mount it on roofing felt. All elements are securely fastened together. In addition to the strapping, we install floor crossbars - joists. We attach the lower crown of the house with anchors to each pillar.
• Now we cut vertical support beams into the lower frame in increments of 60-70 cm. They can also be secured using metal fasteners and jibs.
• Now we assemble the frames for the walls, taking into account the door and window openings.
• Following the assembled frame of the dacha, we construct the walls of which we carry out the upper frame of the racks from timber. Here you can use timber with a section of 100x100 mm. And floor beams are attached or embedded onto the installed frame. Thus we have a ready-made box at home.
• The next stage in the construction of a country house is covering the frame with chipboard or fiberboard panels. They are mounted on self-tapping screws, fitting tightly to each other.
• The floor and ceiling are covered with third grade boards. In the future, the floors can be insulated with mineral wool along the joists and sheathed with tongue and groove boards.
• And lastly, we lay hydro- and vapor barrier on the cladding of the country house, and insulation between them. Siding can be used as exterior finishing.

Roof of a frame house

• Hanging system. Here, the rafters are mounted only on load-bearing walls and no longer have other types of supports. To make the system monolithic, such rafters are secured by tightening.
• The rafter system is layered. It is arranged if the house has internal partitions that will serve as additional support. When installing a layered rafter system, the load on the load-bearing walls of the house is reduced.
• It is better to assemble trusses on the ground, and then lift them to the top frame and install them there. All trusses are fastened together with a ridge beam and fixed to the mauerlat, the role of which is played by the upper beam frame.
• A film is laid over the rafter system, making overlapping joints. Then the film is additionally fixed with thin slats, placing them parallel to the rafters. Such a counter-lattice will create an additional ventilation gap for the entire roof.

Important: the overlap width of the film must be at least 20 cm.

• Now a finishing sheathing is installed perpendicular to the counter-lattice, onto which we will subsequently install the roofing material. The spacing of the boards/slats is made in accordance with the width of the sheets of roofing material.
• Roofing material begins to be laid from the bottom of the roof, moving in rows from right to left or vice versa.
• The roof overhangs are covered with plastic or wooden lining. The gable sides of the rafters are also decorated with plastic or wooden lining.

Final finishing of the house

All that remains is to install the windows and doors into the completed house. They are installed on special wooden supports, adjusting and controlling the level of the blocks. All gaps between the frame and frames are foamed with polyurethane foam. After a day, the excess foam is cut off, and the remaining space is sheathed with plasterboard or any other building material for subsequent finishing.

Important: it is best to install doors completely with frame and leaves. In this way, it will be possible to align the load-bearing opening for the block as much as possible.

The interior decoration of the house can be done using plasterboard and then covering it with wallpaper. GCR can also be used for plastering, painting or cladding. And water supplied to the house will make staying in it even more comfortable. It will be pleasant and convenient to be here at any time of the year. A house built using this technology will last 30 years or more. Now all that remains is to inform your family and friends about the invitation to a fragrant barbecue.

By the way, if you don’t know how much it costs to build a frame house, then we hasten to inform you that such a building, taking into account the purchase of all materials, will cost about 10 thousand. If you don’t know what to build from and want to make a house from scrap materials that are left on the site, then such a house will cost 1.5 times less.
