The project of the house from a bar 6x9 - how to calculate

A cozy country house is the dream of many residents of megalopolises. In a desire to take a break from the bustle of the city, many of us tend to go out into the countryside, having spent a quiet weekend somewhere in the suburbs. And the best solution for a country plot is the project of a house from a bar 6x9.

In order to save, many home masters take up the construction of the house on their own, performing the whole range of work - from filling the foundation to the construction and decoration of the walls with their own hands. In this article we will talk about what you should pay attention to when creating a project for a house from bar 6 to 9.

Create a project log houses

Log houses were built in Russia from time immemorial. Our ancestors also noted that the walls of wood are warm and durable, and the wooden buildings are durable. Timber is an excellent alternative to a log, since, while maintaining high performance, it is a simpler material to work with, and its price is low.

First of all, you should get a ready-made building plan or draw it yourself. This will help in the calculations. In addition to the plan, before building a log house or cottage, you will need to carry out a number of calculations, determining the type of foundation and choosing building materials. Consider everything in order.

How to choose a timber

Regardless of the type of building material, which will be discussed below, you should pay attention to its quality.

High-quality building material is determined visually, and for this there is a simple instruction:

1. First, pay attention to the surface of the material. There should be no cracks on it. Even if you find a minor crack - this product should not be purchased, as this can lead to shrinkage defects. In addition, a small crack will increase under the influence of moisture, which over time will lead to rotting wood.

2. If wormholes or traces of eating by bugs are found on the surface of the timber - it is also not suitable for construction.

Tip! Quality material must be perfectly smooth. Any bias will result in difficulties in the construction of walls.

1. Blue spots are direct evidence that the material is rotting from the inside. The main provocateurs of this process are fungi. Such a building material is unsuitable for construction, since the walls laid out of it will not stand for a long time.

Select the type of foundation

Since wood is a fairly light material, the projects of houses from 6x9 lumber can include any of the existing types of foundation.

However, there are some nuances that depend on the quality of the soil and features of the building, so when designing you need to know about the features of modern foundations:

1. Columnar. It is considered the cheapest and simplest in execution. Consists of the supports installed under all loaded parts of the building on which the metal or concrete grillage is laid. Its main disadvantages are low carrying capacity and the impossibility of installation on mobile soils. Many projects of a 6x9 timber house provide for this type of foundation, since it is strong enough to withstand the load of a small wooden house.

1. Ribbon. More durable and reliable foundation, which is often used to install brick houses. Its main advantage is the possibility of arranging the basement. The tape base is installed under the log houses in the event that the construction takes place on movable soils.
2. Slab. This type of foundation is the most massive and most resistant to soil heaving. It is also called “floating”, because under the influence of deformations, it can then rise and fall, reliably protecting the walls. It is a monolithic slab, which is located under all loaded areas of the building.

Tip! This type of base should be used for lumber buildings only if installed on unstable soils.

Calculation of material for the project

The finished projects of the house from timber 6 by 9 contain data on the amount of material needed for construction. In the event that you create such a project yourself, you need to be able to carry out all the necessary calculations.

First of all, you should have on hand an exact plan of the building, without which it will be impossible to calculate the amount of material per house.

1. For the calculations you must have the following data:

• Dimensions of the building. In our case, it is 6 by 9 meters.
• Ceiling height. Take an average of 3 meters.
• Calculations will be inaccurate if they do not take into account all the technological holes, that is, windows and doors:

• The standard entrance door measures 2 by 0.9 meters.
• Let the house be 6 windows, measuring 1 by 1.2 meters.

1. We carry out calculations of external walls:

1. The area of ​​the internal partitions should be calculated according to the same principle. First, there is their total length, then the area, and therefore the dimensions of interior doors are subtracted from it.
2. At the last stage it is necessary to summarize all the results obtained. Thus, we get the total amount of material in square meters. Since the timber, like many other building materials, is sold in cubic meters, the results should be translated into cubic meters. This is done simply by simply knowing the thickness of the bars used for construction. Suppose, according to the results of calculations for the house, 140 m2 of material is needed, and the width of the beam is 15 cm. We convert the thickness from centimeters to meters - 0.15 m. 21 m3.

Calculation of the amount of material in 1 m3

Since the timber is sold in cubic meters, you should know how to determine the amount of material in 1 m3.

There are many tables on the Internet that contain similar data, but it is not always and not always possible to access the World Wide Web, and there is nothing complicated about such calculations.

1. Knowing the size of the building material, we find its volume, multiplying the length by the height by the width. For example: 0.15 x 0.15 x 6 = 0.135 m3 - the volume of one element.
2. Now we calculate the quantity: 1 / 0.135 = 7 pieces.

Conclusion

Building a wooden house with your own hands requires careful preparation.
