Foundation for self-build

For pouring you will need the following tools: shovel, measuring instruments, mortar. Let's follow the main stages of the work.

1. Determine the depth of foundation pouring. To do this, study the depth of freezing of the earth and dig trenches with this indicator in mind. If the "big" house has a foundation of 1 meter, and the degree of freezing of the ground is 1.5 meters, then the depth of the trench for the extension should also be at least 1.5 meters. An important point is that a "new" foundation should be built separately from the base of the house, since problems may arise when settling.

2. Take into account the local terrain. Next, we need to calculate the mass of the future extension and the quality of the soil. Indeed, the correctness of these indicators depends on the strength and stability of your extension.

3. Filling. If the hole is excavated, proceed to pour the foundation. After the end of work, you need to take a break for about a year, so that our base should properly settle.

4. The second way to build a base for an extension with your own hands is to use concrete pillows that can be cast from molds. We make a suitable shape from the board, reinforce this workpiece with wire or reinforcement to give the cushion strength. We put in the form of the pile from the bar( or metal), treated with impregnation - protection from decay. Then fill the mold with concrete. In this case, the piles are set a little higher, so that after the marking you can make a pruning - such a "stock".It should be remembered that the distance between the concrete pillows is 1-1.5 meters. The next step is marking the floor height of the room and cutting the piles at this level. In the end we attach the strapping of the future extension to the piles and everything - the base is ready.

frame extensions are on the "peak" of popularity, since they have many advantages:

Extension of the beam with your own hands - the important points

So, you decided to expand the area of ​​the house? As a building material for additional premises we choose glued beam. Do not hurry with the installation of windows and doors, because the building must first "sit down".During construction we break through in the rod dowel( 3-5 cm) and connect an extension to the house, using pins with weld plates - under the screws. When installing the roof, we do runs from the bar( cross section of 150 mm).

If you are the owner of a summer cottage, then you can perfectly expand the available area by completing a skeleton veranda or terrace. Attachment to the cabins with their own hands is erected in the form of a frame of timber, which is later lined with lining. In this case, you can use a basalt heater. Thus, the "temporary" shed can be transformed into a cozy house, in which it will be pleasant to spend hours of rest.

What kind of house without a bath? This structure is usually located separately from other buildings, ideally - near a lake or a river. However, today an extension to the bath with their own hands is not uncommon in a good "economy".In this case, you can get to the bathroom without leaving home - through the door. In addition, the presence of sewerage and water supply in the house makes the construction of the extension a very rational and economical project. Connecting the light will not be a problem either, and in the winter such a bathhouse will be an additional source of heat for the whole house.

So the extension to the house with their own hands is quite possible for everyone. The main thing is to correctly perform preliminary calculations and draw up a draft. We are going for construction!
