How to build a garage of corrugated diy - drawings and

Each motorist is concerned about the issue of storage and maintenance of the true "iron horse". Residents of urban high-rise buildings were a bit less fortunate, as they have to look for free parking space every evening, but the owners of private houses may well build a compact, convenient garage on the local area. This simple outbuilding usually performs 2 functions: it protects the car from robbers' encroachment and also protects it from adverse weather conditions (cold, heat, rain, snow). It is at low cost greatly simplifies the maintenance and servicing of the car. In this article we will explain how to make a drawing and build a garage out of corrugated flooring with your own hands.

Material selection

Profiled sheeting is called profiled sheets of galvanized steel with a polymer coating of Pural or polyester. This is a versatile building material from which a roof and garage frame can be built. It is highly resistant to moisture, corrosion, temperature and biological factors. The mechanical strength of the profiled sheeting provides a large number of vertical stiffeners that prevent the coating from deforming. To build a garage or other outbuildings, use:

• Carrier decking. This material is marked with the letter "H", which indicates a high mechanical strength and resistance to external influences of the coating. It has additional grooves, giving stiffness, maximum height of the corrugations and thickness of the base. Carrying decking is used to make garages, hangars, containers, massive floors. The roof and walls of the building are made from it, which eliminates the need to purchase other materials.
• Bearing-wall profiled. This roofing profiled sheet differs from the one bearing a smaller base thickness, height of ridges and rigidity. However, the roof and walls of this material are considered to be no less reliable, durable. Most often the garage is made of corrugated flooring of small size from this universal brand due to its affordable price.
• Wall decking. The profiled sheet, related to the wall type, has the smallest wave height, thickness of the base and price. It is used for wall cladding. The roof of this material will not last for a long time, as it is not able to effectively remove atmospheric moisture, especially if the slopes have a small angle of inclination.

Important! The garage from a professional flooring has to possess high resistance to corrosion, penetration of water and the big bearing ability. Therefore, the construction used brand H114 or H60, for simple projects of small size take C44. When designing a garage, you need to consider that the profiled sheet has a high thermal conductivity, because of which the surface of the material and the contents of the building will be very hot in the sun. Eliminate this problem by installing thermal insulation.

Preparatory work

Make a garage out of corrugated flooring with your own hands under the power of each master with minimal construction skills and a basic set of tools. The process of construction of this outbuilding consists of the following stages: the creation of the project, marking, pouring the foundation, frame assembly, plating and erection of the roof. It is best to carry out these works by 2-3 employees. The process of preparing for the construction of the garage is as follows:

1. Creating a project. To make a drawing of the future garage, determine the dimensions of the building. This parameter depends on how many cars it will contain. For 1 medium-sized car, width 2.8-3.0 m, length 4.7 m is sufficient. In such a garage there will even be free space for organizing seasonal storage. At this stage, it is important to determine what the roof should be. The most popular single and double slope options. The choice depends on the snow load and the average annual rainfall in the construction zone.
2. The choice of location. The garage is arranged in such a way that a convenient access road leads to it, and also not far from the main house. The building site is chosen mostly flat, clean from trees and bushes.
3. Markup. In the cleared area, according to the project, 4 pegs are placed at the corners of the future building, and then a cord is tensioned between them. Mark the places in which the frame supports are located.
4. Pouring the foundation. Around the perimeter of the garage is dug a trench 20-30 cm wide to a depth of 0.4-1.0 m. A sand-gravel pad is filled into it, reinforced and then poured with cement.

Note! Ribbon foundation is gaining strength 4-7 days. Experienced craftsmen have a professional trick to prevent cracking when curing. So that the cement mortar does not deform during the drying process, the sand and gravel pad is moistened before filling.

Frame assembly

Doing a garage made of corrugated flooring with your own hands, you need to pay special attention to the assembly of the frame structure, which can be built from metal or wood. Most experienced craftsmen agree that the best option is metal pipes with a diameter of 4 mm2. The choice of material for the frame depends on the weight, thickness and type of sheeting. Works are performed in the following order:

• When pouring the basement, every 1-1.5 m is installed, the supporting legs of the frame are fixed, having strengthened the elements in a vertical position with temporary struts. The height of the racks is usually at least 2-2.2 m.
• The supporting legs of the frame are tied with upper and lower strapping. During the work with metal designs the fixture is carried out by means of arc welding.
• In places located close to the doorways, the frame is strengthened with struts to give the structure additional rigidity.
• Produce roof truss system. The most simple and economical option for a garage of corrugated flooring is a lean-to roof with a slope of 10-15 degrees. For her, the supporting frame on one side is increased by the uprights, and then the truss legs are installed.

Experienced masters when designing a garage are advised to take into account the length of building materials, so that less trimming remains. In order for the construction of a storage place for a car to be economical, its length should not exceed 4.5 m and its height 2 m.

Trim and finish

If you do not take into account the process of pouring and hardening of the foundation, the garage of corrugated can be built in 1-2 days. Some manufacturers produce ready-made standard kits, in which the elements of the frame and skin are cut to size, and the master can only assemble the structure with a screwdriver according to the enclosed scheme. Works are performed in the following order:

1. The first profiled sheathe walls of the garage. Fastening perform overlap 1-2 waves with a screwdriver. Use special screws for profiled sheet of galvanized steel with a rubber washer.
2. Construct a roofing cake. The roof of corrugated flooring consists of 2 layers: waterproofing and roofing. Between these layers is a crate of metal or wood. As a waterproofing used lining ruberoid. Sections of corrugated sheeting for corrosion protection are treated with putty for metal or paint.
3. Beams of flooring are laid on the bottom trim of the frame, and then a plank floor is laid. Timber is chosen taking into account the weight of the car.
4. Install the gate. The cheapest, easiest option is a double-leaf, swing gates with hinges, which are easily made with your own hands. A more complex structure has a lifting mechanism.
5. Trim the garage from the inside. They carry out lighting, assemble shelves and boxes for storing tools, garden tools or other household items.

According to the experience of builders such a garage will serve 50-70 years with proper maintenance. In order to extend the life of the structure, the edges of the corrugated sheet are covered with protective compounds, and once every 5 years the building is completely painted on both sides.
