Garage of corrugated diy

Today, garages of corrugated found quite often. This was facilitated not only by the low cost of the profiled metal, but also by the opportunity to build the structure quickly and inexpensively. Let's see how you can make a garage out of corrugated flooring with your own hands.

Advantages of construction from a professional flooring

In order to assemble such a garage, it does not take much time, experience and special knowledge. If desired, any car owner who knows how to hold a tool in his hands will be able to perform these works without outside help.

Garage of corrugated is not a temporary structure and, if properly used, will last for about 40 years.

Terrain marking

Mark the terrain first. For this purpose, pegs or pieces of reinforcement are hammered in the selected area, and a rope is pulled between them, which will serve as an indicator of the location of all sides of the structure. In the middle of the marking, along the entire perimeter of the future garage, in the corners you need to dig holes of 0.5? 0.5? 0.5 m.

Do not try to save by cutting the size of the garage to a minimum. Think about that, drove into the garage, you will need to have space in order to open the car door and get out of it. The minimum size of such a facility for a car can be 3–4 m, although a more convenient garage will be obtained with side sizes of 4–6 m.

You will also need the following materials:

1. ? P-shaped steel profile 50? 50 mm.
2. Screws for metal with a flat head.
3. Cement.
4. Profulist.
5. ? Crushed stone.
6. ? River sand.

Well, and, of course, you need a tool to work:

1. Spade
2. Shovel
3. Scrap (if the soil with stones).
4. Level.
5. Plummet.
6. Screwdriver.
7. The Bulgarian with the established disk on metal.  

Foundation

The foundation for the garage is fundamentally different from a similar structure for the house. First of all, it concerns the method, since at first metal pipes are inserted into the dug holes and concreted in the ground. Further, a trench, 30 cm deep, is excavated from one pipe to another. If necessary, formwork is installed, and all this is poured with concrete. In order that the design did not give cracks, the base and a floor need to be reinforced.

The upper part of the foundation must be above the intended level of the floor.

Device viewing pit

If the groundwater level is low, and there is a desire to make a viewing pit, then it is better to dig it out right away, as long as it is possible to use an excavator for this. The walls need to be leveled, and the edges must be concreted, or laid out with bricks. For convenience, you can make the steps, or then make a small ladder for descending into the pit. Now you can concreted floor.

If there is lighting in the pit, then lay the wiring before concreting the floor.

We are going to frame

In order to weld cross-section and longitudinal fasteners from pipes, or a corner, to the concrete posts, you will need the help of a welder. You can make a combined structure of metal and wood - in this case it will be easier to fasten all with bolts and screws. The skeleton itself is quite simple, and is a vertical upright and cross member, fastened together with screws. And since the profile sheet is a unique building material, it can be used both for cladding the walls of a building and for erecting individual structures. Therefore, for the construction of the garage, it is preferable to use a profiled sheet of category “C” - a special wall variant.

Making the walls and roof

It is best to mount the sheets in a vertical position, checking the level of their position. To fix this metal to the frame you need special screws with rubber gasket, which seals the hole and helps to avoid the following troubles:

1. A simple screw can scratch a sheet, breaking the insulation layer.
2. If moisture gets into the drilled hole, the metal will deteriorate very quickly.

Starting to sheathe the garage is best with the walls.

If you first make a roof, then screwing the screws into the upper edge of the wall sheets will become a big problem, since the roofing sheets protruding beyond the edge of the building will restrict access to this place.

For greater reliability and safety of the joints of sheets, it is desirable to fasten with rivets.

Warming

Most often, the garages of the profiled sheet are not insulated, but if necessary, this can be done without problems, only there will be no sense from these actions if the garage is not planned to be heated. Let's start with the fact that you need to seal all the holes. The easiest way to do this is with foam, as it adheres well to the surface of the metal, and, expanding, will fill all voids. Then the walls and ceiling are sheathed with insulation - it turns out inefficient and troublesome. In addition, in this way, it is possible to significantly reduce the “life” of the garage, since in the cold season condensate will collect under the insulation, which will lead to its premature corrosion.

Now warming is applied by polyurethane foam. A coating is applied to the metal from the spray gun, under which no air enters. It will actually be efficient and practical.
