When the construction of the dacha is completed, many have the question of where to put the sofa, kitchen table and other furniture in the summer. An expanded veranda to the house will help expand the area of housing. After the decision on its construction is made, there is a need for its subsequent implementation. One of the options that will serve as a way out of this situation will be an appeal to specialists. But very often there is no such opportunity, or the owner of the dacha simply does not want to give money for something that does not meet his needs. In this case, the summer terrace to the house can be built independently. This decision will not only save financial resources, but will also allow the owner to gain experience in this field and, of course, the desired result.
The design of the veranda with the frame will be the most suitable option for a beginner. It is quite simple to install, so only one person can perform it without resorting to outside help. First, the frame frame must be assembled in a horizontal position, and then installed vertically. Before starting work, the following tools should be prepared: a carpenter’s hammer, an ax, a hacksaw, a sledgehammer, an electric screwdriver, an electric saw, a grinder, bayonet and shovels. You will also need a trowel, a steel corner, fifty meters of a cord, a tape measure and a plumb bob.
After all the materials are collected, you can begin the construction of the veranda to the house. First you need to create a foundation separate from the main structure for it. To break the axis of the building, measure their distance from the house with a tape measure, after which the pegs are hammered and the cord is pulled over them. This will be a guide for building the foundation. For its laying at zero level with respect to the floor of the structure, a vertical layout is made. Then from this indicator take all the marks determined using roulette. The desired value is measured from the level of a clean floor.
Before the future veranda to the house will have a foundation, the type of soil on the site must be determined. This is very important, as the work done and the design choice will depend on this. For example, quite often in the Moscow region you can encounter heaving soil. It includes sand, clay, sandy loam and loam. The heaving process can lead to deformation of the structure and to its subsequent destruction. To avoid problems, it is best to lay the foundation on the foundation, which will serve as a low-grade soil. If this is not possible, it is set below the level of freezing of the earth. The surface of the soil can be insulated with expanded clay. For this, columns are arranged in the corners of the structure, under which pits dig. They create sand pillows, lay out blocks, and then fill the seams with cement mortar.
After completion of work with the foundation, logs or timber are laid on it. They arrange a pre-assembled frame frame and racks on which the rafters can lean. The summer terrace to the house may contain window sills and window sills, to create which the transverse bars are attached. This structure should be sheathed in the horizontal direction, starting from the bottom. Next, the device floor and roof. After the completion of the main construction work, you need to think over the design of the veranda and properly decorate it. To do this, perform its internal and external decoration, as well as place the appropriate elements of furniture.
