The simplest hozblok. Do-it-yourself wooden hozblok for giving, drawings

AT country design even utility blocks can be not just a barn, but a real work of art. I bring to your attention interesting ideas utility sheds, houses for inventory and workshops. All these structures can be made to give with your own hands, decorate to your liking.

Hozbloki can be without windows to prevent easy theft of the tool if your site is located in a not very quiet place.

The wall of the shed can be decorated with painted plastic plates screwed on with self-tapping screws. At my dacha, the northern wall is decorated in this way, I painted them myself.

Your workshop may also have a small porch where you can sit and take a break from country affairs and worries.

Not a single summer cottage or summer cottage can do without utility rooms. a private house. Usually they are erected at the first stages of land development as temporary shelters, which can serve as a shelter from the rain, a bathroom, a warehouse for tools and building materials.

With thoughtful placement, such a building, after the construction of a residential building, can be converted into a barn, a bathhouse, or used for other household needs.

Types of outbuildings

Before you organize a hozblok in the country, you need to decide on its purpose, take into account the main functions of this building and the period of time during which it will be used.

Budget temporary buildings can be built from wood, or a metal frame, upholstered different materials. Foam block buildings will require more investment, but they will last much longer and have better hydro and thermal insulation. It would be advisable to include such a structure in common project arrangement of the land.

Depending on the purpose, the design, dimensions and layout and placement of the utility block are determined.

The buildings garage type are enclosed spaces with an adjoining canopy. At the stage of building a house, the covered part can serve as both a temporary dwelling and a warehouse, and a car is parked under a canopy. Such a temporary building can later be converted into an indoor garage, workshop or summer kitchen.

Security booths provide round-the-clock human presence in the country to prevent theft, or just overnight. In the future, they can be disassembled, moved or turned into a storage room.

The barn is a storage block. When determining the dimensions, architecture and building materials, it is tedious to focus on individual needs and opportunities.

But keep in mind that the concrete foundation, pitched roof, drainage, waterproofing and ventilation vents will increase the functionality of such a structure.

A temporary house with amenities is designed for living on a land plot. It is equipped with a shower and a toilet, electricity is supplied, heating and a stove for cooking are connected.

If you build such a temporary hut in the rear of the planned house, it can be converted into a good utility block for storage, workshop, laundry, etc.

Ready hozblok

All types of hozblok can be purchased ready-made. Structures made of plastic and metal with verified dimensions and the necessary options can quickly solve the problem of temporary residence and work on the site, or supplement the residential complex with the necessary utility rooms.

As a rule, such structures are easy to assemble, they can be used seasonally or moved to different sites. There is also the option of buildings on wheels.

The quality indicators of finished plastic trailers and temporary huts in some cases are not inferior to structures made of metal profiles. Sophisticated design and condition of materials for external and internal decoration, as well as the presence of a floor are the advantages of such a choice.

The service life of plastic houses reaches 10 years. The advantage of buildings made of metal profiles is their strength and durability. By cleaning surfaces and painting, you can update appearance and functionality of the building.

Although it will take more time to assemble the metal frame and profile sheathing, moreover, it will also be necessary to prepare the foundation and flooring for the finished metal models. But buildings of this type are easier to remake, they can be expanded or partially dismantled.

Hozbloki in the modern sense

In our time, utility blocks are a full-fledged part of architectural design, and unsightly sheds hidden in the depths of the garden are a thing of the past.

Naturally, well-equipped, durable and aesthetic-looking buildings require material costs, but a neat spacious garage, dry and ventilated warehouse or sauna is not just a tribute to fashion, but a reasonable contribution to comfort.

Outbuildings located at some distance from the house, with a rational layout, unload the main residential building, increasing comfort and facilitating economic activities.

The design solutions for household blocks for summer cottages proposed in the photo indicate that even inexpensive and modest buildings can become a decoration for a personal plot.

The first building on the land does not have to be temporary, inconvenient and ugly. It is enough just to get rid of stereotypes and start building household blocks with your own hands or with the help of specialists with care and attention to detail.

It is worth spending time on both design and calculations in order to end up with a full-fledged and multifunctional office space.

Photo hozblok to give

barn on suburban area vital. Otherwise, you will have to store garden tools and equipment in the house itself. Naturally, this will not contribute to a comfortable stay. A barn is a simple structure of a lightweight type. Making it with your own hands is quite possible for most skilled men.

What is a frame shed for?

An outbuilding in the form of a barn on a suburban area is vital. It is intended for storing garden and garden tools, ranging from a simple shovel or chopper to a walk-behind tractor, a watering pump and other expensive equipment. In addition, it is simply unsafe to store pesticides, fertilizers or a small supply of gasoline in other rooms.

Thanks to the frame shed, it will be possible to store all garden tools

Benefits of frame construction

The main advantage of the frame structure is its quick erection and low labor intensity of construction. The benefits are as follows:

The possibility of using lumber of the second or third grade.
Ease of design.
The ability to quickly move to another place, if provided for by the design of the building. To do this, the support frame is made with a small ledge and a notch at an angle of 45 degrees, forming a kind of skid.
Fast erection.

If we talk about the shortcomings of structures of this kind, then they arise only in connection with design or execution errors.

A frame shed is built simply and quickly

Preparation for construction, design and calculations

Preparation for the construction of the barn consists of the following activities:

Location determination. Since this building is intended to store items and materials needed for use in the garden, the barn must be placed on the site adjacent to the front garden. To save space, it is better to build it closer to the boundary. The rules establish that the barn should not be closer than one meter to the neighboring site.
The dimensions of the building in terms of it is better to choose from considerations rational use materials. So, the optimal option would be a size of 6x4 meters. At the same time, the length corresponds to the dimensions of the standard lumber length - 6 meters, and the width assumes a two-meter-long departure, which can be used for racks on the low (rear) side of the building. For the front, you can cut the timber in half and take it completely on the racks.
Thus, the main dimensions of the barn with a shed roof were determined, the angle of inclination of which will be about 14 degrees. This is an ideal building option in terms of the rational use of materials.
The distance between the racks of the frame should be no more than one and a half meters. At the extreme openings, braces must be installed to counteract wind loads. The size of the beam for them should be the same as the size of the bearing support posts. If a beam of 100x100 millimeters is used, then the jibs can be made from a beam of 50x100. In total, you will need 8 pieces of such parts.
The upper trim of the frame must be made of a beam of the same size as the lower one, in our case it is 100x100 mm.
For rafters, you can use a bar 50x150 mm, installed vertically in width.
Wall cladding from the outside should be made from any waterproof sheet material: plywood, OSB boards, drywall. A common material for walls is unedged board. Tes must be sanded before installation.

Let's deal with the supporting structure. The barn does not need a massive foundation. It can be installed on concrete blocks small size, using them in the corners and in the middle of the walls. However, in areas with high wind loads, it is better to use screw anchors. This is a version of the screw pile in miniature. It is enough to install them at a distance of two meters from each other, the total need for such parts will be 8 pieces.

If you use the frame device scheme, you can make a solid barn with your own hands

Preparing the site for the shed

The site for this building is prepared as follows:

It is necessary to free up space from the fertile layer, which will require the removal of soil to a depth of 30 centimeters. The surface must be carefully leveled and compacted.
After that, it is necessary to arrange a drainage layer by pouring sand 12-15 centimeters thick into the recess. Fill the rest with gravel of medium fraction, compact the entire surface.

Thus, the likelihood of stagnation of water under the barn, which will easily leave through the drainage, is reduced.

Calculation of the need for materials

The amount of materials needed to build a barn is conveniently calculated in tabular form.

Table: an example of calculating materials for building a barn

Name	Purpose	Quantity (pcs)	Size (cm)	Normative data (pcs/m3)	Notes
Anchor	support structure	6
Pine beam 100x100 Total by type of material:	Bottom strap length Bottom strap width Top harness by lenght Top strap width Rack rear Rack rear Rack front Doorway	2 2 2 2 4 1 5 1 11	600 400 600 400 200 200 300 90s 200 600	16,6	From segments From the segment Total requirement 0.7 cubic meters
Beam 100x50 Total by type of material:	Additional crate in the openings jib Window openings 60x20 cm	24 8 2 2 11	150 300 160 600	33	Total requirement 0.33 cubic meters
The board is not edged Total by type of material:	Sheathing outer overlap of the rear wall The same for the front wall Same for side walls	48 48 32 56	200 300 300 600	28	Total requirement 2.0 cubic meters
Beam 50x150 mm	Translations	7	400	22	Remaining 7 pieces x200 mm Total requirement 0.33 cubic meters

In addition to the above, you will need a plastic film for a moisture protection device. With a width of three meters, it needs 20 running meters for the outer protective layer and the same for the inner. Depending on the price indicators, it can be replaced with roofing material.

The final covering of the roof is taken from the simplest of financial considerations. Suitable ordinary slate or fiberglass, galvanized or painted corrugated board. When calculating the need, it is necessary to take into account overhangs with a width of 0.3–0.5 meters.

Interior decoration is best made from sheet material. Useful and leftovers from the decoration of the house.

Thermal insulation in an unheated barn room has the opposite meaning. In hot weather, it is important to keep the temperature from overheating in the sun. In such a situation, without thermal insulation, it will be very uncomfortable to be in it. It is important to perform high-quality waterproofing of the walls.

A frame shed can also be built on poles

Barn building tools

For such a simple structure, the need for a tool is small.

Table: barn construction tool

Step-by-step instructions for building a frame barn

To build a barn, you need to perform a series of sequential steps:

What to make the foundation

A strong foundation is not needed to build a barn. Often it is installed simply on brick stands. It directly depends on the nature of the soil at the location. If the subsoil layer consists of clay or heavy loam, this threatens with significant soil movements, as a result of which the structure can be skewed with damage to the walls and jamming of the doors. In such a situation, a rather deep foundation is needed, the supporting part of which will be below the freezing level of the soil.

These conditions are met by the following types of support bases:

Pile-screw. Screw piles are screwed into the ground to the required depth, their upper ends must be aligned horizontally along the stretched cord. Then, heads are installed on them for attaching the support beam. In addition to the quality of the soil, such a choice can be made when building a barn on a slope.
Columnar. For the device, you need to dig (or drill) pits below the level of soil freezing. At the bottom, make drainage from sand (12–15 centimeters) and gravel in approximately the same layer, tamp the backfill. Reinforcement is carried out with a frame of steel bars in the amount of 4–6 pieces vertically, fastened with crossbars. The armored rack must be collected on the surface and immersed in the pit. Install the formwork of the desired height on top of the soil. Pouring concrete into the ground. After seven days, the formwork can be removed and work can continue.

It makes no sense to consider other foundation designs. They are heavier and more expensive in execution: tape, grillage and other types of support bases, and they are inappropriate for a building weighing several hundred kilograms.

Column Foundation with a concrete grillage serves as a reliable support Lightweight foundation on piles will withstand loads on unfavorable soils Pile-screw foundation with a wooden grillage for the installation of a barn does not require excavation Strip foundation- light version for installation of a light structure

Frame device

The base for the barn is ready for further installation when the timber trim is installed and fixed on top of the supports. It should represent a regular rectangle, the diagonals of which are equal to each other. The check is made by measuring with a long tape measure or cord.

Frame assembly:

Installing a lag for the floor. A bar measuring 50x150 mm is used. The distance between the lags should be 75 cm. Each of them cuts into the strapping beam to a depth of 50 mm. A corresponding cut is also made. You need to fasten it with a nail in the middle and two corners to the body of the strapping beam.
Installation of corner posts. Three meters high racks are installed on the front wall, two meters high on the back. The distance between them is 1.5 meters. Corner posts are placed vertically with plumb control. They need to be fixed with temporary jibs, once again check the verticality and fasten to the harness with two corners and two flat plates each. Fastening is done with self-tapping screws.
A cord is stretched between the corner posts and the rest are installed at a specified distance along it. Fastening is made by corners and plates.
Installation of the upper strapping from a bar 100x100 mm. Under the inclined bars, the supports are cut with the required slope.
Installation of translations for the device of a roof from a bar 50х150 mm. On the support bars, when connecting parts, a tie-in is performed. The translations are fastened with screws or M12 studs with wide washers, two screws per joint.
Fixing jib. They need to be placed from the top of the corner posts to the bottom trim. The material for them is a bar 50x100 mm. Fastening is done with self-tapping screws.
Lathing on the walls. It is made from a bar 50x100 mm. Parts are placed in openings formed by racks at a distance of a meter from each other parallel to the strapping. Fastening is carried out using flat plates with self-tapping screws.

As an option, you can consider the manufacture of a barn frame from a profile pipe measuring 60x60x3 mm. The dimensions of the building are the same, the distance from the base of the lower harness to the top should be two meters.

The profile pipe for the frame will provide long-term operation barn

The work is carried out in the following order:

Preparation of parts: racks and crates. Metal cutting is done by a grinder. In addition to parts from pipes, you need to prepare metal corners that are installed on each pipe connection. The size of a triangular part made of steel 3 mm thick is 200x200 mm.
The frame is welded by electric welding with angle control. The front welds are cleaned, the reinforcement is removed.
Before further assembly metal carcass treated with a primer, then covered with paint for metal.
With a metal base, sheet materials are used for wall cladding: flat slate, fiberglass, OSB boards or moisture-resistant plywood.
Moisture protection in this embodiment is necessary. The film is pre-fixed with construction tape.
Translations and logs are made from the same timber as with a wooden frame.

Video: building a metal frame for a barn

Floor and wall cladding

Further work on a wooden or steel frame is carried out in almost the same way:

Wall covering. It can be made with various sheet materials. For economic reasons, we will opt for an unedged board. Before stuffing the boards on the racks and the crate, it is necessary to install moisture protection from a 200 micron thick polyethylene film or roofing material. You can fix it with a construction stapler on metal brackets.
Unedged boards are perfect for finishing the walls of the barn
Sheathing the back wall with boards should be done in segments two meters long, that is, three parts from each. Fill the first row of boards, on top of which install the second with overlapping slots. Similarly, sheathing the front wall with boards three meters long, as well as the sides of the barn. Trim the end of the side walls in place after the end of the wall cladding.
Before laying the roof, install a ceiling covering, which is best made from sheet material. First, arrange an inner crate from a board 25 mm thick, then stretch the moisture protection film, and fasten the front material to it with self-tapping screws.
For the ceiling in the barn, it is better to use sheet material
Insulate the ceiling with any slab or roll material. A popular solution is to use expanded clay with a fraction of 5–10 millimeters. Pour it between transfers and level it. Install moisture protection on top, then the top coat of the roof.
To insulate the walls of the barn, you can lay one layer of insulation from the inside.
Then, sew on the support strips along the bottom of the lag plane, arrange a crate on them edged board 25 mm thick.
Install moisture protection.
Insulation of the floor is carried out in the same way as the ceiling.
Lay a floor covering over the log. First you need to make a draft floor. For it, you can use a cut or unedged board. A finishing coat is placed on top of the finished floor. Under the operating conditions of the barn, it is better to lay the floor with flat slate or cement-bonded particle board.
The draft floor in the barn is made of boards
The last to perform wall cladding from the inside with any sheet material.

Calculation of the need for insulating materials

Thermal insulation of the floor is made with expanded clay. It is advisable to use a fraction of 5-10 millimeters. For wall insulation, it is better to take rolled or slab materials, using the remains of building a house.

How much expanded clay is needed

The volume of this bulk material is determined by the area of the backfill and the thickness of the layer. The floor area is: 6 x 4 = 24 square meters, the backfill layer, taking into account the layer thickness of 0.1 meters, will be 24 x 0.1 = 2.4 cubic meters. For the ceiling, you will need the following amount: 24 x 1.16 = 28 meters, 2, 4 + 2.8 = 5.2 cubes. Coefficient 1.16 takes into account the angle of inclination of the side walls.

How much slab or roll insulation is needed

The need for this material is determined by the area of the walls:

The frontal wall has an area of 6 x 2 = 12 sq. m.
The total surface of the side walls will be: 4 x 2.5 x 2 = 20 sq. m.
Front wall area: 3 x 8 = 18 sq.m.

Thus, the total area of \u200b\u200binsulation for wall covering will be: 12 + 20 + 18 \u003d 50 square meters.

Sheathing shed walls is inexpensive and lasts a long time Glass wool reliably keeps the temperature in the barn Laying OSB boards on the floor - practical option barn Material with low thermal conductivity will save the barn from overheating in summer Plywood is a great material for finishing the ceiling in the barn.

All wooden details must be treated with fire impregnation and antiseptic. Otherwise, the barn will not live long.

Video: building a shed roof barn on your own

The apparent simplicity of construction should not have a relaxing effect on the owner of the site. One way or another, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the soil. If the movements lead to a skew of the structure, the door may jam or break window frames. And also the slightest inaccuracy or mistake in the choice of materials for construction will lead to the loss of costs incurred.

Well, if the change house became the first building on a personal plot or summer cottage. After the construction of a residential building, it can easily be converted into a utility block for storing tools and keeping pets and birds. Otherwise, you will have to build a barn with your own hands from the materials that are available. Let's look at how this can be done quickly and inexpensively.

We are developing a farm building project

In order to properly design and locate the structure in the local area, you need to determine its purpose. For example, for storing tools and various utensils, an outdoor mini-shed 2 x 2 m, shown in the drawing, is suitable. It is built from wood frame technology and is placed in any convenient place in the yard, as long as it does not interfere with passing or passing.

When it comes to premises for livestock, poultry and other living creatures, strict sanitary requirements are imposed on the construction of a utility block. After all, animal waste products, especially pork and chicken, emit a large amount of ammonia (hence the “strong” bad smell) and are chemically aggressive. So at the design stage, the following recommendations should be taken into account:

The shed must be located at a minimum distance of 12 m from a private house or gazebo and no closer than 25 m from the source drinking water, as shown in the diagram. But country toilet with a cesspool can be built next to.
Building materials must be chemically resistant. Best for fast wall construction wooden bars and boards, since the metal frame will have to be well protected from corrosion. The capital structure is built from foam blocks, aerated concrete or brick, followed by insulation.
To keep a cow or a bull, it is necessary to provide entrance doors of appropriate sizes, as well as durable floors and partitions. Please note that the average weight of a bull is about 500 kg per 4 hooves with a total footprint of less than half a square meter.
Piglets and goats do not load the floors too much, but they love to gnaw on wood, and sometimes tear off poorly fixed elements. The ideal pen indoors is with a partition made of bricks or logs that are not treated with antiseptics and other compounds that can harm the health of animals.
For chickens, turkeys and other birds, you will need to equip perches and a separate exit to the street in the outer wall.

An important point. Livestock rooms should be well ventilated and, if possible, a liquid waste gutter.

For the construction of a barn, you can use the drawing below as a basis. The structure with dimensions of 3 x 4.5 m under a gable roof has 3 rooms - a pantry for tools, a poultry house and a large room that adapts to any need - a workshop, a pigsty or a stall. If necessary, the roof is converted into a shed, for which one of the walls rises 0.4-0.5 m higher than the opposite.

How to make a wood shed

We will divide the entire construction process into several stages:

Choice of building materials.
The device of a columnar or strip foundation.
The construction of the frame and its sheathing.
Roof installation.

In order for the outbuilding to turn out to be as cheap as possible, it should be made from improvised materials or those that remained after the construction of a residential building. The best option is a shed for giving from lumber - timber, unedged boards and slabs. Such a structure will turn out easy and will not require a serious foundation. As a roofing material, corrugated board, ondulin or a simple roofing material, nailed with planks, is suitable, as is done in the photo.

Advice. To sheathe the frame from the outside and give it rigidity, you can use OSB moisture-resistant plywood boards.

If you have enough aerated concrete or other blocks from building a garage or garden house, then they will turn out to be a capital barn, where you can arrange a workshop, a pigsty or a chicken coop, only in the latter case it is better to insulate the walls from the outside. But keep in mind that the building will turn out to be heavy, which means that it must be placed on a foundation in the form of a tape or a solid slab, which will be expensive. In addition to the listed coating options, slate will also fit, you can use it.

Considering how much metal costs now, a steel profile shed is not the cheapest solution. On the other hand, a prefabricated structure lined with painted or galvanized corrugated board looks quite nice and fits well into the landscape of the yard. This is easy to verify by looking at the photo:

Reference. An inexpensive shed for storing firewood and various utensils can be quickly made from wooden pallets and then sheathed with OSB plywood. Due to its low weight, the structure can be easily moved to any place and placed on aligned rows of cinder blocks. How to build it yourself, see the short video:

Foundation laying

The ideal solution for light wooden building- the base of the columnar type shown in the picture. In order not to mess with concrete work, which takes from 7 to 14 days (this is how much concrete needs to set), it is easier to build block or brick columns.

The work order is as follows:

Mark the site by pulling the cord between the pegs, determine the location of the supports (at the corners of the future building and in the middle in increments of 1.5 m).
At key points, dig holes 500 x 500 mm to a depth of 1 m. Having tamped the bottom, make sand filling to a height of 10-15 cm.
Lay out pillars of red brick or cinder blocks 20-30 cm above ground level. More information about laying a columnar base is described in.

Advice. Hozblok is rarely the first structure on the site. Therefore, you can judge the nature of the soil and the depth of the foundation by the previous buildings - country house or bath.

If you are dealing with heaving or swampy soils, then the best solution for a barn is to install a pile-screw foundation. Instead of brick pillars piles of iron pipes are screwed to the required depth, resting with a wide blade on a stable soil horizon. A specialized firm will do a similar job in 1 day.

For the construction of capital walls from blocks, it will be necessary to pour a reinforced concrete tape, again, if soils allow. In this case, the zero cycle of work is carried out in the same way as during the construction of an extension, which is described in detail.

Floor and wall installation

The first operation is the binding of foundation columns and the installation of floors. For its implementation, you will need a beam with a section of 10 x 15 cm and a board 150 x 50 mm (for logs). The thickness of the flooring material is selected depending on the load on the floors - from 20 to 50 mm. Before you build a barn, strapping beams and the rest of the wood, do not forget to impregnate with an antiseptic composition.

Strapping beams and logs are laid on poles with a lining of roofing material

Attention! Let us remind you once again that it is extremely undesirable to treat wooden elements used in the construction of livestock pens with chemicals. Instead, it is better to take lumber of a larger section.

The step-by-step sequence of work looks like this:

Lay waterproofing of 2 layers of roofing material on the foundations, and place the beams on top and fix them with anchors. Connect the strapping to each other in half a tree or with the help of steel corners and self-tapping screws.
Install the logs in increments of 0.7-0.8 m, attaching them to the harness in the same way - on metal corners. In the section for pigs or cows, put the logs more often - with an interval of 0.5 m.
Lay the floors from the boards, screwing the latter to the strapping with self-tapping screws or nailing them. Cut timber to length flush with the outer edge of the tie beam.

Scheme of docking and fastening of bars

The easiest way to build walls using frame technology is with an assistant. The technique is simple: the wall frames are assembled from a 5 x 5 cm beam on a flat area, and then they rise to the finished base and are fastened with slopes. The distance between the racks of the frame is 0.6 m, except for those places where it is planned to install doors and windows (cheap plastic ones can be used). framing window openings perform from horizontal jumpers, fastening - steel corners on galvanized screws.

Advice. If you want to make a warm shed, then a layer of insulation (usually mineral wool) should fit between the frame racks. So use more wide boards- 4 x 10 or 5 x 10 cm. Do not forget that for a shed roof, one wall must be higher than the other.

When all the walls are raised and fixed, it remains to fasten them together and sew them on the outside with any available material- from slab and unedged boards to vinyl siding. From the inside, line the frame with OSB sheets and, if necessary, lay insulation inside. The construction process is clearly shown in the next video:

Roof installation instructions

The crate of the shed roof structure of the barn is made of boards, whose cross section depends on the length of the span. To block a room with a width of up to 4 m, it is quite enough to lay lumber 50 x 150 mm in increments of 0.6 m. support.

To make the roof of the barn yourself, we suggest using the following step-by-step instructions:

Install and secure the rafters in such a way as to provide roof overhangs of at least 200 mm in each direction.
Lay the sheets of wind insulation from the bottom up, letting them overlap by 10 cm. Attach them to the beams with a stapler or nail them with planks.
Mount the crate of boards or slabs 2-3 cm thick, nailing them to the rafters.
Cover the roof with corrugated board or ondulin. The sheets are screwed to the crate with self-tapping screws, and the latter must pass through the ridges of the profile (and not the depressions) and be equipped with rubber gaskets.

At the end of the beams and battens, peeking around the entire perimeter of the building, sheathe with suitable boards, and put a gutter on the low side of the roof. When the barn is closed from precipitation, proceed to the installation of windows and doors, as well as interior work. Outside, the hozblok can be decorated in any way possible - painted in the desired color, trimmed with clapboard or profiled sheet.

Reference. It is noteworthy that the assembly of the utility block from the metal profile is carried out using a similar technology, only the connections are made by welding, and the frame racks are attached to the strapping beams in place.

Conclusion

This publication is a guide to action when building a barn in one of the most common ways. The list of materials may vary depending on your stocks and financial capabilities. A simple example: if there is cement and brick available, then it is cheaper to build a utility block from them than to buy timber specifically. True, a capital construction will take more time, and subsequently it will have to be legalized and documented.

Before building a barn with your own hands, let's figure out why it is needed and whether it is needed at all. A barn is an outbuilding that is designed to store various things, such as construction tools, materials, small equipment, etc. The first time a house is built, it can be used as temporary housing in warm time of the year. In any case, you should have at least a simple structure on the site.

What is the best way to build a barn quickly and cheaply? The simplest and fastest solution would be the construction of a frame building. At the same time, you can meet the budget of only a few hundred dollars, it all depends on the size and materials.

I decided to build a barn with my own hands as soon as a plot was purchased for building a house. This is the first building on my property. I started the construction in late autumn, so the work took place in two stages.

In principle, it is not necessary to make a barn project. By and large, this structure is being built from the materials that are available, and if something is missing, then just buy more and that's it. But if you, like me, are building a barn from scratch, and do not have any materials, then it is better to make not even a project, but a schematic drawing. This will help to calculate the required amount of materials and purchase them at a time, while saving your time and money on transportation costs.

Since I already have a little experience in designing, I made myself a simple barn project. Even having a project, I made some structural changes during the construction process for one reason or another. This suggests that, even with drawings, it is impossible to foresee everything.

According to the project, I will have a barn measuring 4.5x3 m with a pitched roof. The height of the room in the lower part is 2.2 m in the upper part - 2.7 m. Now I would build a barn lower, for example 1.8 m down and 2.3 m up.

Foundation construction

Since the barn was planned to be made using frame technology, the foundation can be made columnar from blocks. For these purposes, I used a hollow concrete block (I just did not find a solid one), the voids of which were sealed with mortar.

First of all, you need to decide on the place and only then proceed to marking the building spot. For marking, I needed wooden pegs and twine (you can use fishing line, rope). I drove the pegs further than the building spots at a distance of about a meter so that they would not interfere with me when installing the blocks.

Having pulled the twine, I checked the diagonals, they should be equal. I marked out the installation sites for the blocks and began to dig holes 30-50 cm deep. It is necessary to remove the vegetative layer of soil under the blocks and cover it with rubble or sand, which I did. Thus, it maximized the stability of the foundation.

All blocks must be installed in the same strictly horizontal plane. I did this with the help of a level, I adjusted the height with the amount of rubble. Crushed stone fell asleep in layers, each layer was rammed.

On this, my first stage of construction was completed and the foundation remained for the winter.

Bottom harness and frame

After waiting for the arrival of warm days, I continued the construction of the barn. For this I ordered a board 3.5 m3. For the frame, I took a board 100x50 mm (1.5 m3), for sheathing 150x25 mm (2m3).

I made the lower harness from a board 100x50 mm, laying it on the edge along the foundation columns.

I fastened the boards together using universal screws 100x6 mm (although I tried drywall screws, but they were too fragile and often broke). You can also use nails.

Having laid the boards around the perimeter and fastened them, he immediately checked the diagonals. This must be done periodically so as not to build a crooked building.

The beams of the lower harness must be opened with an antiseptic. It is better to use an antiseptic for difficult working conditions. I used NEOMID concentrate. I opened the beams with an ordinary paint brush, but you can use a pulverizer, it will be faster.

He laid floor boards (150x25 mm) on top of the beams and treated them with an antiseptic. I laid the boards tightly, but since they were freshly sawn, over time, gaps of about 1 cm formed between them. For me, this is not critical, although mice crawl through the gaps into the barn. You can additionally put sheets of plywood on the floor, which will be more practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Here is the base for the walls.

The frame of the walls was first assembled on the floor, then raised, leveled and fixed to the base beams. Regarding the assembly, this work can be easily done by yourself, but it will be difficult to raise and fix the wall on your own, because the structure is quite heavy (due to wet wood) and then tries to fall. For these purposes, an assistant is needed.

To speed up the process of building a barn with my own hands, I used a chainsaw to cut boards and a screwdriver to tighten screws. You can use a jigsaw if there is already electricity on the site.

I recommend using as many different electrical, mechanical and gasoline tools and mechanisms as possible in any construction to speed up and facilitate the work. Only then will the whole process be enjoyable.

When assembling the frame of the walls, I made one mistake - I did not install the braces (inclined boards in the corners of the barn). Then it was quite difficult to mount them. Braces give spatial rigidity to the entire structure and are vital, so do not forget to install them.

In the frame, it is necessary to foresee door and window openings in advance and install horizontal lintels.

After the wall frame is assembled, the roof rafters can be installed. These are the same boards 100x50 mm with a pitch of about 700 mm. I fastened the rafters with metal corners on one side and nails on the other. Let me remind you that if you plan to insulate, then the step must be taken in accordance with the width of the insulation.

wall decoration

I made the wall decoration with a 150x25 mm board, which I fastened on nails (60-70 mm) to the frame posts. In this case, you need to try not to sew up the openings of windows and doors. Here everything is very simple - put a board - nailed it and so on in a circle.

After a while, the board dries out, and cracks form. I covered them with a window glazing bead, as a result of which the barn acquired a pretty look.

To protect the board from impacts environment and different kind insects opened the barn from the outside by working off the oil. Quite cheap, but not safe from a fire point of view, a way to protect wood. Spent 10 liters of mining.

Roof and roof construction

As for the roof, I thought through many options, but in the end I decided to make it from roofing material. And this is another miscalculation of mine, but more on that later.

On the rafters I made a continuous crate from a board 150x25 mm.

She was also opened with an antiseptic, but only from the outside.

For the installation of the roof, I bought two rolls of roofing material of the RPP-350 brand. I cut it into pieces of 4 meters and laid it along the roof slope with an overlap of 20 cm. I fixed the joints with a 40x20 mm rail.

I expected that this roof would serve me for several seasons, but I was mistaken, after two weeks the roofing material simply broke in several places. The roof had to be redone.

The reason for everything turned out to be poor quality roofing material. From now on, I do not recommend making a roof from paper-based roofing felt. It is better to use euroroofing material with a thickness of 3-4 mm, which will last more than one year.

This time I made an even simpler option - a roof made of greenhouse film with ultraviolet protection. And so, on a continuous crate, I laid a substrate made of reinforced polyethylene (I bought it when I planned to make a roof from ondulin).

On top, in a solid piece, put a greenhouse film with a density of 150 microns. It was fastened, like roofing felt, with a 40x20 mm rail. For six months there were no problems with this roof, I'll see how it goes.

Installation of windows and doors

I installed a used wooden door. Changed in the apartment front door, so she went to the barn. I made the door frame locally from boards, bought hinges and installed the door.

I made two locks - one mortise, and the second hinged for greater reliability.

Initially planned to install a large wooden window in a barn 1200x600 mm, but in a building supermarket I bought an inexpensive plastic window 800x600 mm in size, of course, he installed it. To do this, I had to slightly reduce the window opening.

The window was fixed on universal self-tapping screws 100x6 mm. I first removed the double-glazed window and drilled 2 holes on the side of the frame. I installed the window frame in the opening and fixed it with self-tapping screws according to the level. Put the glass back on.

Outside, the opening was decorated with a platband and a galvanized tide was installed. Inside made wooden window sill and filled the gaps with sealant.

Price and terms

I managed to build a barn with my own hands for about $ 1000, and in time about a month (2-3 hours a day).

The most expensive and basic material turned out to be boards. I also had to buy some tools.

cheap

Each owner needs a barn on his own plot, but you don’t always want to bear the high costs of building it. It will be easier and cheaper to build a utility block after the construction of a residential building, since there are always extra materials. But what to do if a person has nothing on his hands, but a utility room is still necessary? Now we will look at what you can build a barn with your own hands cheaply and quickly.

Decide on the purpose of the barn

Before you build a cheap barn, you need to decide on a number of important issues. The design of the hozblok will depend on this, and what will you build it from:

Raising even the most inexpensive design, ask yourself the question, why do you need this barn. The answer according to the principle: “It will come in handy for the future” or “To keep up with the neighbors” will not work. You need to know the purpose of the barn. Suppose, if you need a woodcutter, then it will be cheaper to assemble a frame hozblok from boards and timber. To keep animals, you need a strong and warm building. From cheap material here it is better to give preference to foam concrete.
The amount of expenses depends on the dimensions of the hozblok. If the built barn will be used to keep poultry or animals, you need to roughly calculate how many livestock will live in the room.
It will be possible to build a barn cheaply only on your own. If it is supposed to use the services of hired builders, then about half of the money will go out of the allocated budget to pay for the work. You also need to buy the right material. Often household blocks are built from used bricks or cinder blocks. They even use old lumber, which is sometimes sold by subsidiary farms after the buildings are dismantled. From cheap new materials for walls, foam block or wood concrete can be distinguished.

Having decided on all these issues, you can already begin to calculate the budget for future construction.

Cheap shed options

Now we will consider several options for how to build a barn with our own hands so that it is cheaper for the owner.

Frame shed - cheap and fast

The first place among cheap sheds should rightfully be given to the frame structure. It will not be possible to build anything faster than such a utility block, and even a person without building experience can do all the work on his own.

Let's get acquainted with how the order of construction of the hozblok looks like:

The frame barn will last at least 10 years. During this time, maybe the owner will be able to save money for a more serious building.

In the video, an example of the construction of a frame barn:

Hozblok from corrugated board

To build not only a cheap, but also a beautiful hozblok will turn out from corrugated board. The material is inexpensive and very light in addition will last for many years. The only disadvantage of corrugated board is its weak rigidity. Before sheathing the walls, the frame of the barn will have to be reinforced with additional jibs and lintels.

In fact, a corrugated board hozblok is an ordinary frame shed. Only the lining material is different. The frame is assembled from a bar, but it is better to give preference to a profile pipe. The costs will not be much more, but once having built a metal structure, it will be enough for the owner for life. The profile frame is assembled by welding. Sometimes craftsmen fasten the elements with a bolted connection.

The corrugated board is fixed with galvanized self-tapping screws with a rubber washer. When sheathing walls, it becomes necessary to trim the sheets. It is better to do this with metal shears. If they don't exist, you can use hand tool. But with such scissors it is easy to cut the corrugated board across the waves. It is difficult to do this along, since the stiffening ribs do not allow the sheet to bend.

You can use a grinder to cut sheets, but the abrasive wheel burns the protective coating of the profiled sheet. Over time, this area will begin to rust. If there is no other way out, you can cut the sheet with a grinder, and then it will be easier to cut the burned edge with scissors. Alternatively, the cut point can be hidden under another sheet, because the laying is still done with an overlap. At the corners of the barn, around the window and door opening, the cut edge of the corrugated board can be hidden under the additional elements.

Reliable and inexpensive shed for animals and poultry

If you need to build a barn for keeping poultry or animals cheaply and quickly, then it is better not to find foam blocks of material. Of course, a hozblok will cost more than a frame structure, but it will last for many decades. Moreover, a foam block shed is great for winter use.

The construction of the barn is carried out in the following sequence:

It is desirable to choose a quality roofing for a barn made of foam blocks. From inexpensive materials, slate or corrugated board is suitable. From what to make the floor inside the barn depends on who will live in it. It is better to send boards to goats. For a bird, a clay floor with sawdust or straw is suitable. The pigs will have to pour concrete screed, but under it it is desirable to lay waterproofing and insulation. And in the corral where the pigs will sleep, you need to lay the boards.

Conclusion

To truly build a cheap barn, you must first take a closer look at what material is at hand. After that, you can start with the choice of the type of building.

Do-it-yourself hozblok - drawings, a list of building materials

Living in a summer cottage, the first thing they build is a hozblok from various materials, different sizes. In many cases, this is just a change house or temporary hut until a permanent structure is built, but some people strive to create amenities almost like in an apartment.

To build a hozblok with your own hands after acquiring a site is the next task for its owner. Why on your own, after all, you can buy a change house or order construction? There are several reasons why many people prefer to build themselves. Firstly, financial question: after buying a plot, not everyone will have the money to purchase a utility block or pay for construction by contractors.

Secondly, many change houses available for sale often cause dissatisfaction with those who bought them because of their too short service life. And thirdly, if you have construction experience, the remnants of the material, you can build a household unit yourself not of a standard type, but based on your needs. A well-built change house will last a long time, and the experience gained during its construction will be useful in the future.

A well-built hozblok can serve for various purposes

Having bought several acres, summer residents strive to immediately build a reliable hozblok for various purposes:

as housing until a house is built, in order to later remake it for other needs;
an outbuilding for inventory and other property;
as a locker room, pantry, bathroom, summer kitchen;
as sheds for rabbits, poultry, livestock.

Hozblok - universal room, everyone can adapt it to their needs. If the owners spend a lot of time at their summer cottage working on the ground, then they will think about a rest room, a bed in it to spend the night. A small compact structure can look like a simple barn or a house from a fairy tale. It all depends on the needs, opportunities, priorities of the owner.

Construction begins with a foundation and ends with a roof. There is no particular choice in the materials here. The foundation is made tape or columnar. For tape, you need sand, cement, crushed stone or concrete blocks. Columnar is made of brick or stone. Recently, asbestos-cement pipes are used, which are poured with concrete. The hozblok is usually covered with inexpensive material: slate or corrugated board.

The erection of walls often poses a summer resident with the problem of choosing a material. It follows from several factors: cost, labor intensity, thermal protection, if they are going to live in the hozblok in the winter. cheap material save money, and lightweight (panels, aerated concrete) will allow you to arrange a cheaper foundation. Large blocks, shields, sip panels, boards, wall decking will significantly speed up construction.

To build a hozblok, one of the most simple circuits- frame.

Having dealt with the material, we determine the purpose and, accordingly, with the dimensions, we make drawings. The smallest change house-pantry, which can also serve as a temporary shelter, has dimensions of 3.5 × 2.5 m. m. In both cases, it is impossible to find a place for a bathroom, you will have to arrange a toilet and a shower in the yard. Hozblok 6 × 3 will allow you to place everything you need for living with minimal amenities.

Consider how to build a 6 × 3 m hozblok, how much and what material will be needed. We stop at one option, because it is impossible to consider the whole variety. If the dimensions of your frame structure are different, it is easy to calculate the amount of material by increasing or decreasing it.

Starting construction, be sure to draw a drawing, as best we can, focusing on it, draw up a list of materials. You should not rush into this, it is better to think carefully about everything until you find the perfect option.

You will need bars 100 × 100 mm:

for the lower and upper frame 6 m long - 6 pieces, three-meter - 8;
for vertical supports - 2.4 m - 11 pieces;
2 pieces of 6.6 m for rafters;
plus horizontal bars on doors and windows.

For the frame you need bars

on the floor 20 pieces 25 × 150 mm, the same amount on the ceiling or replace with other material (plywood, fiberboard, etc.);
on the crate - 7 pcs. 25×100 6 m long;
for wind deflectors the same 2 pieces, but 3.6 m long;
for fastening rafters - 50 × 100 × 3600 - 6 pieces.

If you make a metal frame of the building, we focus on the length of the lumber. We calculate the amount of material for the foundation, coating, focusing on the size of the building. If the foundation is tape, you will need quite a lot of sand, cement, gravel. Columnar will cost much less; for a frame hozblok, it is a good option.

We make a columnar foundation from asbestos-cement pipes with a diameter of 150 mm. First, we mark out a place for the foundation: we remove the sod and a layer of earth to the depth of the shovel bayonet. We fall asleep 10 cm of sand, ram it well. At the place where the pipes are installed, we dig holes with a depth of 1.2 m, fill the bottom with sand, and ram. We place pipes of the required length in the pits.

First, a columnar foundation is made

Using a building level, we check the verticality, horizontality and correct location along the perimeter of the building. We fix the position by filling the space between the solbs and the ground with sand. Pipes inside are filled with concrete or cement-sand mortar. First, fill in a third of the length, slightly raise it so that the solution goes into the pit and forms a solid base at the bottom. We fill the pipes to the top, compacting the concrete so that cavities do not form. In the center of each pipe we put anchors for fixing the frame frame.

While the foundation is gaining strength for several weeks, we are preparing the frame. From the bars 10 × 10 cm we make a rectangle, fastening the corners to the half-tree, fixing with nails and self-tapping screws. To strengthen the frame inside, we install logs across. The wood for the frame, as well as for the entire structure, is treated with antiseptics or twice hot drying oil. At the top of each column we lay roofing material for waterproofing. We lay the frame on the anchor, lightly tap to mark the places for the holes. We drill holes, install the lower trim on the foundation, fixing it with nuts on the anchors.

We start assembling the frame from the ends, we fasten the building material to the bottom trim with metal corners. To strengthen the fixation, you can install struts of bars diagonally or temporarily fasten with a board on self-tapping screws. We assemble the front part of the frame by installing vertical racks, then back. The distance between the uprights is 1.8 m. We reinforce the frame with diagonal struts from the bars.

Do not forget about windows and doors, making openings in the places of their installation. The size of the doorway is 2 × 0.85 m. We install crossbars for windows: the lower horizontal is at a height of 80 cm from the frame, the upper one is 1 m from the bottom. If we plan to arrange several sections inside, we install partitions. We finally fasten the frame racks at the top with bars.

We make the roof depending on the method of assembling the frame. If the building has front and rear sides of different heights, we install rafters on the longitudinal bars of the walls, we attach the crate to them. If the walls are the same height, we assemble the rafters on the ground, and then we install them ready-made at the top. We create the necessary slope by raising the front part by 50 cm. But it should be borne in mind that one person will not be able to lift them, therefore, if there is no assistant, we collect them at the top.

Immediately after assembling the frame, we cut the roof. The list of available roofing material is large, respectively, we make the crate for large sheets rare, for roll material - solid. Before laying the floor, it is desirable to insulate the subfloor: we fill the openings between the pillars with any material, fastening cement mortar, inside we fall asleep with expanded clay. On the logs we lay the floor from the boards.

We sheathe the walls, starting from the front wall, we go from bottom to top. The material can be different: boards, lining, siding, corrugated board, etc. We insulate with glass wool, it is undesirable to use polystyrene - mice adore it. We sheathe the walls from the inside, make partitions, install windows, hang doors - the utility block is ready and, undoubtedly, will become an adornment of the land plot.

How and from what to build a frame barn with your own hands

A shed on a suburban area is vital. Otherwise, you will have to store garden tools and equipment in the house itself. Naturally, this will not contribute to a comfortable stay. A barn is a simple structure of a lightweight type. Making it with your own hands is quite possible for most skilled men.

What is a frame shed for?

Thanks to the frame shed, it will be possible to store all garden tools

Benefits of frame construction

The main advantage of the frame structure is its quick erection and low labor intensity of construction. The benefits are as follows:

The possibility of using lumber of the second or third grade.
Ease of design.
The ability to quickly move to another place, if provided for by the design of the building. To do this, the support frame is made with a small ledge and a notch at an angle of 45 degrees, forming a kind of skid.
Fast erection.

If we talk about the shortcomings of structures of this kind, then they arise only in connection with design or execution errors.

A frame shed is built simply and quickly

Preparation for construction, design and calculations

Preparation for the construction of the barn consists of the following activities:

Location determination. Since this building is intended to store items and materials needed for use in the garden, the barn must be placed on the site adjacent to the front garden. To save space, it is better to build it closer to the boundary. The rules establish that the barn should not be closer than one meter to the neighboring site.
The dimensions of the building in the plan are best chosen for reasons of rational use of materials. So, the optimal option would be a size of 6x4 meters. At the same time, the length corresponds to the dimensions of the standard lumber length - 6 meters, and the width assumes a two-meter-long departure, which can be used for racks on the low (rear) side of the building. For the front, you can cut the timber in half and take it completely on the racks.
Thus, the main dimensions of the barn with a shed roof were determined, the angle of inclination of which will be about 14 degrees. This is an ideal building option in terms of the rational use of materials.
The distance between the racks of the frame should be no more than one and a half meters. At the extreme openings, braces must be installed to counteract wind loads. The size of the beam for them should be the same as the size of the bearing support posts. If a beam of 100x100 millimeters is used, then the jibs can be made from a beam of 50x100. In total, you will need 8 pieces of such parts.
The upper trim of the frame must be made of a beam of the same size as the lower one, in our case it is 100x100 mm.
For rafters, you can use a bar 50x150 mm, installed vertically in width.
Wall cladding from the outside should be made from any waterproof sheet material: plywood, OSB boards, drywall. A common material for walls is unedged board. Tes must be sanded before installation.

Let's deal with the supporting structure. The barn does not need a massive foundation. It can be installed on small concrete blocks, using them in the corners and in the middle of the walls. However, in areas with high wind loads, it is better to use screw anchors. This is a version of the screw pile in miniature. It is enough to install them at a distance of two meters from each other, the total need for such parts will be 8 pieces.

If you use the frame device scheme, you can make a solid barn with your own hands

Preparing the site for the shed

The site for this building is prepared as follows:

It is necessary to free up space from the fertile layer, which will require the removal of soil to a depth of 30 centimeters. The surface must be carefully leveled and compacted.
After that, it is necessary to arrange a drainage layer by pouring sand 12-15 centimeters thick into the recess. Fill the rest with gravel of medium fraction, compact the entire surface.

Thus, the likelihood of stagnation of water under the barn, which will easily leave through the drainage, is reduced.

Calculation of the need for materials

The amount of materials needed to build a barn is conveniently calculated in tabular form.

How to build a barn with your own hands

The barn is one of the most important and useful outbuildings. In this building, you can store all kinds of garden accessories, barbecue, garden and home care products, tools. With a strong desire, you can even equip a toilet and a summer shower in the barn.

How to build a barn with your own hands

With proper preparation, the construction of a barn will not take much time and money. There are several types of such outbuildings. Beginners are advised to give preference to frame structures - they are the easiest to build.

Instructions for arranging a frame barn will be given below. Read the guidelines and get started.

How to build a barn with your own hands

Choosing a place for a barn

When choosing a place for a barn, be guided by personal preferences. Some owners like it better when the barn is located in some corner of the site. Others are more comfortable when the barn is located next to the house.

It is most rational to build a barn in an area that is least suitable for growing garden and various kinds of crops. Almost anywhere you can find a place like this.

At the stage of choosing a place for arranging a barn, consider the location of other areas of the land, take into account the dimensions of the building being built and its external data. Try to make sure that the barn fits well into the surroundings and blends harmoniously with nearby buildings.

Foundation

Any building structure needs a reliable and solid foundation that can support its weight.

For arranging a barn, bases of a columnar, monolithic, tape and pile-screw type are suitable. The columnar foundation is suitable in most cases, so experts recommend giving preference to just such a design.

Mark out a site for arranging the foundation. Any suitable pegs, cord and tape measure will help you with this.

With a tape measure, measure the sides of the figure and its diagonals. The length of the elements must be the same.

How to make a column foundation

Arrange supports from asbestos pipes filled with reinforcement and concrete, or brick pillars - choose at your discretion.

Make sure that the pillars are evenly installed using a building level, fill the space around the pillars in the pits with a sand and gravel mixture for about 150 mm of the height of the recess, and fill the remaining space with concrete.

Creating a foundation from asbestos pipes

Reinforced column foundation

Leave the foundation to gain strength for a few days.

Before backfilling and concreting, you can treat the support posts with special mastic. It will help improve the waterproofing of the base and extend its service life.

Start assembling the frame of the future barn. Pre-soak all wooden elements with an antiseptic. The best option- impregnation with color. It is simply more convenient to use such a tool - untreated places will be clearly visible.

Lay a support from a bar on a dried base. Select the dimensions of the timber in accordance with the dimensions of the barn being built.

Base - foundation and perimeter of timber

Assembling a frame from wooden beams

Lay the beam on the support posts, previously covered with waterproofing material (roofing material). Fasten the columns in any suitable way at your discretion.

Lay out on the frame wooden planks 3-4 cm thick. At this stage of work, the main thing is to cut out parts of the boards near the vertical racks as accurately as possible.

Fasten the boards to the floor joists in a "hidden" way.

When determining the required number of support posts, consider the presence of openings for installing double-glazed windows and doors, as well as the number of corners of the structure.

Set the bars strictly according to the building level. For leveling, use slope sticks. They will allow you to provide temporary fixation of the bars in the desired position. Use nails to temporarily hold the elements together. Hammer them about half the length so that in the future there will be no difficulties with the dismantling of temporary supports.

Assembling a frame from wooden beams

Attach vertical support posts to the bottom trim of the frame. Fix with the help of corners, self-tapping screws, as well as pins coming out of the base.

The frame can also be built on brick supports. In this case, first, several rows are arranged around the perimeter of the foundation. brickwork, and after that, wooden vertical racks are installed on them.

The bars of the upper trim with ready-made nests are mounted on the installed racks

Process three inner sides vertical beam with an electric planer. From the sides directed towards the inside of the barn, chamfer. Without processing, leave only the sides that will later be sheathed with external boards.

Roofing and wall cladding

Shed roof shed

Attach the upper component of the barn frame to the exposed vertical support posts. Pre-prepare cuts in the beam according to the size of the racks. Fix the connections with corners and self-tapping screws.

Traditionally, sheds are equipped with shed roof structures. In this case, the length wooden racks on one side must exceed the length of the opposite supports.

Crate for laying soft roof on the roof

Such placement will further contribute to the effective removal of sedimentary moisture from the roof surface.

Equip the rafters of the roof structure from boards 4-5 cm thick. The length of the rafters should be approximately 50 cm longer than the length of the frame.

Treat the frame with an antiseptic. Attach the batten boards to the frame. Boards with dimensions of 2.5x15 cm are optimally suited.

The roof of the boards requires the mandatory arrangement of a waterproofing layer. Traditionally, roofing material is used for moisture insulation. If you plan to install a more beautiful finish coat, waterproofing equip from a polyethylene film.

Choose the finish of your choice. You can lay metal tiles, profiled sheets, euro slates, etc.

Shed roof device

Lining is suitable for cladding the walls of the building, you can also fix chipboard, boards and other similar materials. First, sheathe the front side of the shed, and then finish the cladding of the side and back walls. Fasten the boards without gaps.

Shed roof design option

Process if necessary outside boards with an electric planer. Usually similar processing only needed for wall cladding. Thanks to this, the material will become more attractive in appearance, and rain on a smooth surface lingers much less.

If desired, you can paint the walls of the barn. For painting such buildings, oil and water-based compositions are best suited.

Carry out the internal arrangement of the finished barn at your discretion. If the building is designed to store various kinds of tools and accessories, install convenient racks and shelves around the perimeter. Shelving allows you to make the most of the available space and easily access the things you need.

You can buy racks and shelves ready-made or you can make them yourself, for example, from boards, fiberboard, furniture remnants, etc.
