House with a double-skinned roof
The simplest and most popular version of the design. Such a well house is easily built from improvised devices, becausealmost everything necessary( timber, boards, fasteners) remains after the completion of larger construction activities.
Frame
For the creation of the basis of such a house boards and wooden beams are used.
First of all, it is necessary to choose the optimal sizes of the main elements of the structure. If the parts are too thin, the well may not withstand wind and other loads. Too voluminous elements will make the house cumbersome.
Therefore, follow the recommended and testedtime parameters. So, the optimum thickness of the board is the indicator of 4 cm, the cross-section of the beam is 8x10 or 10x10 cm. The structure of this house consists of four pillars of a bar and the same number of boards suitable for making the upper and lower straps. The recommended width of the boards is 120-150 mm.
Pre-cut the boards in accordance with the size of your well, then alternately pry all the elements to the support posts. As a result, you will get a reliable and smooth framework. To fasten the elements of the mentioned dimensions, use nails with a length of about 100 mm.
At this stage it is best to adhere to the following algorithm:
- fasten the first pair of support posts, below and above;
- similarly connect the remaining pair of support racks;
- install prepared structures around the well;
- finally connect the frame elements with straps.
Roof and the upholstery
Begin the arrangement of the roof of the well house. Begin with the installation of trusses - it is a rigid structure, designed to fix the crate. Farms make of solid boards with a thickness of at least 30 mm. The length should be selected individually - the final height of the well is directly dependent on this indicator.
Prepare boards for bricks and crossbars. There will be enough material with a thickness of 2.5-3 cm. In general, you need to prepare 6 rafter legs, 3 crossbars and 8 stumps. Cut the rafter elements at an angle, and then connect the top ends of the products to each other. Fasten with self-tapping screws.
. For additional fixing of the rafters, usecrossbars. They need to be positioned 30 cm below the point of the upper fastening of the rafters. At the junction of the rafters with the boards of the upper strapping, create cutouts. To join the rafters and the frame use 12-centimeter nails.
Strengthen the fixing of the rafters with the jibs. To connect farms use a kind of hobby - a design of two boards. The boards of the battens should be fastened with a step of about 15 cm. Provide 10-cm protrusions above the walls of the building. Cover the finished roof frame with roofing felt, and on top of it, if desired, fix the finishing roofing material at your own discretion. In the end, you will only have to cover the corner posts with windboards.
The roof structure is most conveniently assembled on the ground.
Door
The door of this well house has the appearance of a kind of board board. A door is made according to an extremely simple principle. Cut boards in the width of about 150-200 mm. The length will be 85 mm.
Fold the boards one to the next and secure them with 30x25 mm bars. Two bars will be enough - one you will fix from above, the second will nail from below. To fasten the elements of the product, use self-tapping screws. Four screws for each board will be enough.
Nail an additional diagonal bar. It will help increase the rigidity of the product. Sew the gables, attach the latch and the handle, and then hang the finished door on the hinges.
Do not forget to treat the outside of the product with an antiseptic and varnish. Before applying the varnish, you can paint the door with a waterproof paint.
Log house
This well house will have an original and very interesting design. To build a similar structure, you will need the following:
- rounded logs;
- boards for the arrangement of the roof and supports;
- top coat for roofing;
- material for arranging the gate with a comfortable handle.
Similar well houses are often found in villages. From the rounded beam, the construction racks, the gate and the frame are made.
Manufacturing technology
Fold the rounded log into a frame according to the dimensions of the well. Join the beam in any convenient and convenient way. Install two massive pillars from the wooden beam. For extra rigidity, equip the house racks with props. From the top on the support racks arrange a wide roof construction. Guide to the construction of the roof was given in the previous section of the instructions - everything is done in a similar manner.
The edges of the roof must extend beyond the base of the well house. Due to this, rainfall will not be allowed to enter the shaft of the well. Securely lock the gate. The protruding ends of the beam can be decorated with a variety of figured cutouts.
Hexagon well house
Modification of the previous construction. It differs only in form - it is hexagonal and allows saving extra space, which is important for owners of compact wells and small land plots.
In general, the sequence of construction of this house remains the same as in the case of the construction of an ordinary quadrangular building of a bar. The house is well suited for framing a mine with pumping equipment.
It is recommended to use a 10-centimeter beam for construction. The roof can be trimmed with an edging board - it looks very nice and original. All wooden elements of the construction must be treated with antiseptic impregnation.
House decoration
Several methods can be used to decorate the house. A popular version of the decoration is carving. A neat carved house will fit into any landscape, the design of which is made with the use of wood.
Also a simple and popular option for decorating such structures is painting. Varnishes and impregnations allow you to radically change the texture and color of the material.
In some situations it will be appropriate to decorate the house using a ceramic or wooden figure of some animal.
In other respects, each owner must independently think over the finishing of a well house so that the finished construction fits well into the environment and fully demonstrates the individuality and taste of the owner.
Successful work!
