The veranda to the house is a fairly universal room. For the most part, it is used as a summer extension, and if the veranda is insulated, then you can apply as additional rooms. In addition to increasing the useful area, the veranda will add a special flavor to the outer appearance of the house. If you compare with the construction of the house, she does not ask for as much effort and time as the cladding of the veranda inside, and you can build it with your own hands without attracting professionals. So that the construction of the extension does not deliver torment, it is necessary to execute certain rules. The frame of the veranda is better to make from the beam made of wood – this is cheaper and will not demand special skills. The foundation must be common with the foundation of the house, and if you adapt the veranda much later than the house itself, then you need to try to make it a maximum whole or turn to a columnar foundation option.
Tools and materials
Any building begins with the project, you need to draw up a drawing of the future veranda on a paper sheet. Then calculate the number of matters necessary for construction work. It will be required:
A block of 100 thousand milimimeters or 100×80 mm for assembly of the frame;
Matteril for the walls (chipboard, Sentwitch-panels, lining, a board overlap with a thickness of 20-30 mm or wood shields);
door box;
door;
windows;
Warming material;
moisture-insulating and material for the roof.
The roof of the veranda must be made of the same material as the roof of the house. Cement, sand and a couple of dozen bricks for the foundation will still be necessary. From the tools you will need:
hammer;
axe;
saw;
chisels;
Scurgery:
screwdrivers;
drill;
drill;
construction level;
Boer;
And also a shovel.
The foundation for the veranda to the house
The column foundation is especially suitable for building a veranda, especially if it is built significantly later than the construction of the house. Square pits with a width of 250-300 mm and a depth of at least a meter are dug over the entire area of the building. You can drill in advance with a drill and then cut the walls with a shovel.
At the bottom of the pit, a pillow of sand 20-25 cm high, if sand soil must be poured with gravel and pour bitumen. Then a solution of concrete is prepared from sand and cement and poured to the ground. After hardening on the pillars of concrete, put a brick, holding the level of horizon. Calculate the pillars so that the floor level is below the floor of the house by 15-20 cm. Throughout the area of the veranda, a expanded clay layer is poured between the earth and the floor to protect the structure from humidity. After solidification of the solution, we proceed to install the frame.
