Extension to the house from the frame (photo)

How to make an extension to a private house, many owners of suburban areas would like to know. And not surprisingly. After all, this is a great opportunity to expand the area of a residential building, having spent a minimum of funds. In fact, the construction of such a structure - the procedure is quite simple. However, it is still necessary to have an idea of some of the features of the technology of its assembly.

Stages of work

An extension to the house is built from the frame in several stages:

• A project is being compiled.
• A foundation is being built.
• Is going to the frame of the walls.
• The rafter system is assembled.
• The roofing and walls are being made.

Next, let's look at the order in which the work should be done at each of these stages.

How to draw up a project correctly

Of course, the frame extensions to the house (photos of which you can see on the page) are constructed with preliminary drawing of drawings and schemes. The development of the project will avoid unnecessary costs during the erection of the extension, as well as correctly calculate the number of required materials. The first thing to decide is the area of the future structure and its height. Then decide how many will be the skates at the roof of the extension. The choice in this case depends mainly on the architectural features of the building itself. Most often in suburban small houses erected odnoskatnye extension. The angle of the rafters depends on the variety of the chosen roofing material.

In the design of such a structure, as an extension to the house from the frame, a detailed diagram with all dimensions must be included. It is also very good to attach to it:

• Sketch with proportions or a 3D model.
• Drawings in profile and frontal projection.
• The detailed plan.
• Sketch of the house itself with an extension.
• Figures of important junctions.
• The scheme of the foundation.
• The scheme of the roof.

How to legalize an extension to the house?

Get permission to build an extension is still at the stage of drafting. For this purpose, the following documents must be submitted to the local government body:

• Application for authorization.
• A document confirming the ownership of the house.
• Copies of the technical passport.
• A certificate of registration of each resident.
• Coordination of the project in architecture management.
• Written consent of all residents.
• Help received in the BTI-message.

So, now you know how to legalize the extension to the house and how to draw up its project. Next, let's see what exactly will be needed to build it.

What materials will be needed?

To build the extension you will need to buy:

In addition, you will need to purchase the following tools:

• Screwdriver and hammer.
• Concrete mixer, shovel, buckets.
• Shears for metal.
• Roulette, square.

Filling the base

At the first stage of the erection of such a structure, as an extension to the house from the frame, marking is carried out under the foundation. You can use the method of the Egyptian triangle or two arcs.

Further, at the corners of the future foundation, pegs are driven in, between which a cord extends. It is necessary to mark both the outer contour of the concrete belt and the inner one. The width of the foundation is usually equal to the thickness of the walls plus 10-15 cm. The following procedure will be as follows:

• The trench is excavated on the markings. Its depth should be equal to the level of foundation of the house itself.
• The bottom of the trench is carefully leveled.
• Then sand is poured into it with a layer of at least 5 cm.
• The strips of roofing felt are stretched on the sand.
• Then the concrete is poured about 3-5 cm thick.
• While the cement mixture will solidify, it is possible to be engaged in manufacturing of a timbering. Knock it from the boards 2 cm thick and the beams 40 * 40 cm.
• The next step is to assemble the reinforcing cage. The rods are connected with each other by wire.
• After installing the frame, the tape is poured with concrete. You need to do this with layers with a rammer. From above in the concrete should be installed anchor bolts, which will be attached to the lower strapping.

After laying the concrete mix, the tape is leveled on the top, taking advantage of the level, and the month is left standing. Formwork can be removed after a couple of days.

The extension to the wooden house frame, just like to concrete or brick, can be erected on a columnar foundation. Such a foundation will cost less. The choice of the variety of the foundation depends to a large extent on the characteristics of the soil in this particular area.

Installation of the lower strapping

The foundation tape is pre-waterproofed. The bars of the lower strap are fixed to the anchor bolts. Previously, each element is laid on the foundation and taped with a hammer. Drill holes in the resulting dents. Next, the beam is laid on the tape, passing through them the bolt studs. Fastening is made on hexagonal nuts with wide washers. In the corners, the beams are joined by a "half-tree" method. Next, the lags are attached to the finished lower strapping on the corners. Then they are lined with edging boards.

Installation of racks

At the next stage of erection of such a structure as an extension to the residential building, they begin to install racks. The first to fix the corner. Further - intermediate. The distance between these elements should be slightly smaller than the width of the insulation plates. Step in the location of windows and doors is calculated based on their size. Having established several racks with fastening on the zinced steel corners, they level on a level and fix in such position time укосинами. Then proceed to install the next "batch". In the event that in the future it is planned to assemble a single-pit roof, the length of the pillars along the width of the structure is calculated taking into account the angle of its inclination.

It is worth knowing that the wireframe extension to the house is not rigidly fixed. Unlike the actual building itself, the new structure will be upset. If you attach the end racks to the wall, they will always be cracked.

Installation of the upper piping and installation of beams overlap

After all the racks have been installed, their verticality is checked again by level. Then proceed to install the upper strapping. The fixing of its beams to the posts is also made on steel corners. To the finished top harness perpendicular to the wall of the house are mounted beams overlap. At the final stage, remove the temporary jibs and strengthen the racks by standing (two for each).

Sheathing and insulation of the ceiling

At the next stage, a vapor barrier is attached to the beams on the joists from below. Next, the edging board is assembled with an edging board. After this, the slabs of the heater are installed between the beams. Then the boards are topped.

Assembling the rafters

Addition to the wooden house frame, as already mentioned, is usually covered with a saddle roof. In this case, the installation of the roof frame of the building begins with the installation of intermediate racks under the rafters along the wall of the house. Then cut the rafters and fix them to the girdle and the lower strapping. Fixation, because the wooden structures give quite a significant shrinkage, produce a special fasteners "sled", providing their mobility.

Warming and finishing of walls

The frame extension to the house is sewn in the following order:

• A vapor barrier is attached from the inside of the extension.
• Above it is mounted plywood.
• Between the racks of gates are installed insulation plates.
• From above they will need to be covered with a waterproofing film. Like the vapor barrier, fix it on the bars.
• On the resulting controllift, mount the siding or lining.

Roof covering

Prior to the rafter feet across - with a slight sag - bars fix the waterproofing film. Next, fill the crate of a narrow board. Sheet metal sheets are fixed on it with self-tapping screws.

On this process of assembling such a useful structure, as an extension to the house from the frame, can basically be considered complete. Next, it remains only to put the windows, hang the door, knock down the porch and perform a finishing finish from the inside.
