Simple construction of the veranda with your own hands

During the construction of private houses, this kind of extension as a veranda became widespread. It is a small relative to the general size of the house, a room closed (for example, glazed) or open, designed in addition to decorative functions to protect the entrance door directly from the impact of various external influences, primarily atmospheric ones. It is worth noting that the construction of the veranda with its own hands is a fairly simple process, for this reason this process is available to the vast majority of male representatives of the former Soviet Union. It should be borne in mind that the knowledge of certain features that are inherent in the construction of the veranda can significantly save in time and, above all, on materials, and, accordingly, and finances.

Layout of the veranda

Planning the construction of the veranda with your own hands, it is worth remembering that this room is an exclusive extension, which should to some extent influence the choice of both design and material. If in the end the premises are planned, the main functions of which, in addition to protecting the entrance door from the weather, will be to ensure the storage of workpieces for the winter, which require the preservation of negative temperatures for quality preservation, the creation of a summer kitchen for rest, then it is necessary to plan the construction of the bar from the cold (not heated ) Premises.

There is another option for using the veranda, for example, for storing and growing seedlings of vegetables and fruits at an early stage in early spring, if desired, to some extent increase the summer period in a country house, then in this situation it is worth designing a veranda with insulated walls, ceiling , The floor, in fact, about the same thing that involves finishing the garage with your own hands. In some cases it makes sense to install stationary or portable heating, for example, a heater.

Building a veranda with your own hands of a cold type

First of all, it is worthwhile to understand that the veranda itself is a relatively light room, no matter what construction material and technologies were used to build the house itself. Thus, even in the case when the house is built absolutely from scratch, there is no economic and technological perspective to build a common foundation for the house and the veranda. The foundation for the verandah will be thinner, and, accordingly, lower. Among other things, the common foundation in the absence of a uniform load around the perimeter can trite corny.

At the first stage, it is necessary to mark out the perimeter and the site for the verandah and determine the places where the supports will be located (it is worth recalling that in this case it is planned to build a bar of wood by oneself). When installing the foundation it is worth remembering that it (columnar or ribbon, which, naturally, is more expensive) should not be rigidly connected with the foundation of the house itself. It is desirable, of course, to install the so-called blind area to ensure further dryness under the veranda. Further, the construction of the veranda with our own hands involves the installation of the supports themselves, but it is worth remembering that it is worthwhile to carry out this operation with attaching the corresponding load-bearing floor beams. As a result, it is desirable to connect the whole structure with a board. Then follows the flooring, roofing and wall covering. These operations do not require special attention, since they are quite common in construction and are used everywhere, for example, garage finishing with their own hands without such operations will not do. As for filing the ceiling, it is recommended to use the so-called "inch" in these types of rooms to reduce the weight of the structure.
