Stages of building a garage from a bar

Browse through the Internet and select the best garage project for your requests from the bar. Based on the project, material calculation and costing are done. In the drawings, there is a place for a workshop, tools and an inspection pit.

1. For the garage of the beam, a pile, belt or slab foundation is arranged, depending on the condition and composition of the soil. The foundation must necessarily be above the surface of the soil at least 20 cm. Between the horizontal plane of the foundation and the first row of the bar is waterproofing.
2. For walls, a profiled glued beam of hardwood is selected. You can order the bar, prepared for assembly in a frame and processed with appropriate chemicals. Septic from decay, anti-fouling from fire and aqua-stop for hydroprotection.
3. The roof, depending on the design of the rafters, is made by a gable or a single-pitched roof, with a slope back or to the side. For the floor in the garage, a concrete screed is arranged.
4. For doors and gates in the garage of the bar, reliable loops, bolts and locks are provided. Doors and gates are made of metal or a cohesive board and reinforced with metal stiffeners.

Types of foundations for a garage from a bar

Different soil composition requires a certain type of foundation for the structure. On the heavy ravine soils a plate foundation is used. For a flooded area it is better to equip a pile foundation. Tape foundation is poured in dry and static terrain.

1. Belt foundation for a garage of wooden beams - the most complex and time consuming. On the perimeter of the base of the garage, a trench is digging at a rate of at least 0.5 meters in depth and 0.5 meters in width. In the trench, a panel formwork is arranged, and inside the reinforcing bar a metal skeleton is tied. The planking is progressive, with layers of approximately 20 cm thick, and is poured with concrete mortar. Having reached the calculated height, the foundation is left to dry. In sunny weather, it is moistened, and covered in a rainy film. Further work continues not earlier than a month.
2. The pillar foundation is the simplest and the least expensive. This foundation is established for one day. In key locations in the corners and critical load points, poles are piled to a depth of at least 1.5 meters and are connected with each other by horizontal randballs. For supports and beams, reinforced concrete poles are most often used.
3. The slab foundation is a solid reinforced concrete slab, slightly protruding from the perimeter of the garage from the wooden beam. Under the stove, a drainage cushion is made of compacted sand and crushed stone.

Construction of a carcass for the garage of the timber

For the frame base of the garage is selected edging planed beam of hardwood. Used a beam of oak, larch or beech cross-section 100x100 mm.

1. Corner rivets of the frame L and T-shaped are connected at an angle of 90 ° carpentry connection to the horn and a thorn. The simplest connections are made in a half-tree, and the most durable ones are made on a triple spike and fixed with a wedge.
2. For the rafter is done angled cutting under the oblique spike. All corner joints are additionally fixed with metal bolts, staples and corners. The assembled frame from the timber is installed on the foundation.

Construction of garage walls from profiled timber

Garages from profiled beams are usually erected without a frame. The fixing of the beams is mounted with a log, well way or without release - in the paw.

1. The horizontal plane of the basement part of the foundation is perforated along the perimeter with a waterproofing mastic or is laid with bituminous tape. For waterproofing, sometimes a ruberoid or rubemaster is used. It is not difficult to erect the walls of a garage from a bar with your own hands.
2. The lower embedding beams of the harness are exposed. Particular attention is paid to the corners. They are checked by a carpentry corner both inside and out. Diagonal distances are measured and only carefully adjusted beams are attached to the concrete base. For fastening the beams, metal crutches are used. In the embedded beam cut slots lag overlap under the flooring. The distance between the lags is from 0.5 to 1 meter.
3. Follow the rows of the bar from the bottom strapping. Angle joints are fixed in the paw, in a half-bar or on a spike. Between each other rows of wooden beams are joined by nagels. For this, through holes are drilled, and a wedge of solid wood is driven in. The wedge is recessed a few millimeters into the hole, so that when the bar is shrinking it does not protrude outward. During the laying of the wooden beam, the verticality of the walls, the regularity of the angles and diagonal dimensions are checked periodically.

Installation of roofing rafters and garage floor from the

1. beam. The roof trusses cut into the upper cornice of the timber. For a gable roof, the rafters in the place of the ridge are joined in a "half-timber".For a flat pitched roof, the rafters are fixed with a slope of at least 15 °.The lath is stuffed on the rafters. For a hard roof, the board of the battens is packed in steps of 50 to 70 cm, and for a soft roof the lath is equipped with a continuous flooring.
2. Waterproofing foil is attached to the crate. It is freely rolled along the roof plane and is grasped at the edges by upholstery studs with a wide bonnet. Roof insulation is fixed from the inside between the rafters and lined with lining.
3. For the roof of the garage is suitable for any roofing material. For a rigid roof slate, a professional flooring, a metal tile, etc. is used. The roof is fastened with special slate nails or roofing screws. Under the soft roof of the type of rolled rubas or roofing material, a base of waterproof OSB or plywood with a thickness of 10-12 mm is needed. The soft roof is heated by hot method - by fusing or pasted on bituminous mastics.
4. Wooden floor for the garage of the beam is made of sheet metal boards at least 5 cm thick. Mounted board on the logs with nails or self-tapping screws. The free cells between the lags are covered with expanded claydite of the shallow and middle fraction. All wood in the garage is covered with flame retardant composition to prevent fire.

Swing gates and garage gates

The gates in the garage are made strong, with reliable locks and sturdy hinges. Lifting sectional doors are installed by specialists.

1. Metal gate sections are equipped with a torsion mechanism and are triggered automatically for opening and closing. The door leaf is made of metal sandwich panels and when the gate is opened it rises to the ceiling.
2. Swing gates can be made independently. It is made from a bar of 50x50 mm frame frame, is beaten by a board or a bar, and strengthened by ribs of rigidity. For reliability, the gates are lined around the perimeter with a metal corner and a strip. Hinged gates are hung on special garage hinges.

Reliable locks and internal bolts guarantee the safety of your vehicle.
