When installing such a widespread source for autonomous water supply, like a well, it is necessary to mount a protective fence. And not only along the perimeter, but also from above. The best option is the design for a well in the form of a house, and not just an easy canopy or fence. To better understand the technology of construction, it should be clarified what role this structure plays.
Leave the questions of design, site transformation and so on. Consider its functional purpose in terms of pure practicality.
The house provides protection against:
- getting into the water of dust, dirt, debris, insects;
- formation on its ice surface at low temperatures;
- fall into the mine of people( for families with kids more than relevant);
- negative influence of precipitation on the elements of the upper part of the well;
- of the sun's rays, because of which microorganisms develop intensively in the water, and it "blooms".
You can buy the finished product and install it on site yourself. But the simplest model, which, in fact, and not a house, but a kind of canopy, will cost between 10 000 - 12 000 rubles.
Given all the shortcomings of cheap options, it is more expedient to build such a house with your own hands, according to your own drawings. That's how we do it right, we'll figure it out. There are many options, so we will consider the simplest in terms of implementation on their own and available at the final cost of the project.
Selection of materials
What tasks the house solves, it is written above. In terms of not only cheapness, but also sufficient insulation, it is preferable to assemble a structure of wood. It in itself is a good heat insulator, and if you need an additional layer, then it is easy to mount from inexpensive types of relevant products.
Separately it is necessary to stop on the basis of the future design. In articles devoted to this topic, materials such as brick, stone, concrete products( for example, beams) are recommended. Yes, it will be quite reliable and, most importantly, a long-lasting foundation. But the question is how to fix the wooden structure on it? We will have to carry out a number of additional measures, and possibly with drilling concrete or pre-installation of fastening elements( in the masonry).
The task can be simplified if you use a bar. It must only be properly prepared - dried, processed with specialty / purchased from decay or engine oil, hot tar. This option is also preferable in terms of repair - replacement( if necessary) of any of the blanks in the "tape" of difficulties, even a person without experience does not cause.
Constructing the foundation
Having defined the shape and linear parameters of the house, you should mark the area around the log house. To mount the foundation, it is necessary to prepare a "pit".
A trench is digging around the perimeter of the well, the bottom of which is being trampled. At what depth is the soil removed? The beam should lie below the ground level( for greater stability) by about 50 mm. Plus - "pillow"( to compensate for soil movements), and this is still about 150 mm.
After compaction of the earth, a PGS( or river sand, coarse-grained) is poured, and this layer is also compacted. At this stage, a good sand cushion is abundantly spilled with water( the sand will croak and be pounded).
The trench is covered with waterproofing material.
What to take into account
The service life of roofing material, especially on wet land, as a rule, does not exceed 3 years. Therefore, it is more expedient to use a film n / e( only thick).It is inexpensive, and even bend( and it will have to be tucked) is much better.
The prepared "box" is laid with lumber billets. It is not difficult to fasten them - staples, metal plates. In addition, in order to secure them securely in place and eliminate the risk of displacement, you can drive pieces of reinforcing bar( pre-wrapped film) at the end parts, on both sides.
This technology is not difficult, and it will take a little time. And in terms of material - almost free option. No cement, bricks and the like.
Assembling the house
What should we get as a result? Here is one of the simple house options for a well:
Nothing complicated, in principle, no. The entire structure can be divided into 2 main parts - "walls"( side) and superstructure. A person who knows how to handle a saw and a hammer, nothing to explain( and even more so to teach) is not necessary. Therefore, we note only the features.
What to look for
- All wood should be, like the foundation bar, well prepared( dried, impregnated).
- The walls of the house can be built either from logs( optimal cross-section - 100 x 50), or by wireframe technique, planking the board with "20".Then additional insulation may not be needed.
- For the upper part of the structure, it is preferable to use square beam profiles as "50" as bearing elements.
- Given that the gate in the process of typing in a bucket of water will create dynamic loads on the racks, they must be fixed especially reliably. There will be useful and brackets, and corners, and plates.
- Optimal cross-section logs for the gate - 20 mm .The thicker will make it difficult to lift the filled bucket. In order to prevent the tree from collapsing( the appearance of cracks with time is inevitable), along the circumference the sample is strengthened by metal ties along the edges and near the central point( tape, wire).
- Preparing the log for work is to drill the axial holes on which plates with lugs are attached( and fixed) to strengthen the cuts. They put in pieces pieces of a thin tube, from one end - in the form of a lever. Metal parts can easily be welded together. In the center, to secure the chain, a hook or ring is installed.
Finishing
What should I do? If necessary, further insulate, then mount the roof. Leave the roof boards "bare" is hardly worth it, considering the precipitation. In order not to create additional load on the structure, it is possible to fix sheets of polycarbonate or metal.
Everything else is up to the owner. What exactly to make a door, what structures to process a design - a paint, varnishes - to recommend something concrete does not make sense. Except one. Dimensions, the shape of the house, its exterior design - all this completely depends on the imagination of the master. Therefore, you do not need to blindly copy someone. What you like, this and you need to collect. The main thing is to be strong, durable and, preferably, beautiful.
