Summer house made of timber: design and construction

A house of timber, if desired, we can build a maximum in a couple of summer months. This rapid solution to the housing problem in the country offers only this option. And summer kitchens from a timber firmly captivated not only summer residents, but also owners of private houses.

We can create such a private resort in the form of a country summer building for seasonal living with our own hands. A well thought out layout of the site necessarily precedes the construction work. This will reduce the cash and time costs, facilitate our work.

Before construction

Country house location

In Russia, in the middle lane a house or summer kitchen from a timber will be best protected from the wind if they are located in the north-western part of the site. The porch, the windows should be directed to the southeast for excellent lighting - on the garden plot, but not on the road, in order to avoid the constant penetration of dust.

Layout of the summer house

• Projects of summer houses with a simple layout are especially in demand, requiring minimal construction costs, because heating and powerful thermal insulation in the winter are not needed here.

• The main thing in the project is places for recreation: a room, a veranda, a kitchen. And for preparations and conservation for the winter we will build an attic, a basement, although a storage room for garden tools will also be useful.
• When planning a summer house from a timber, it is important to take into account the number of people living in it, the relief, area, energy supply and water supply.

• It is optimal if we can turn this summer cottage from a summer option into a winter one without any expenses.

Строительство

Foundation

• The winning price-performance ratio is just at the strip footing, but on a sand-gravel cushion.
• The strip foundation under the inner walls of the log house should be with passages for revision lag under the floor.

Note! If the house is for 2 families with 2 entrances, then the underground will also be divided by a base tape. However, professionals always make such strip jumpers for durability with a length - the width of a house is more than 10 meters from a bar.

• For the column foundation, factory concrete slabs, round timber and profiled timber 150x150 mm can become supports.

Conclusion

The garden house from a bar is a full-fledged housing with all the necessary facilities for summer time.

• We will be cautious: a penny savings on the thickness of the purchased timber will result in serious costs for numerous repairs in the future.
• All modern heaters, unfortunately, will worsen the natural ventilation of our wooden frame, which will reduce its service.
• Especially destroys the framework of the metal frame for insulation. But a suitable decorative decoration of the house of timber will warm it.
• A beam is an important structural element, made of durable timber, metal profile, board or several boards, which does not allow the floor to sag.
