House for a well with their own hands

The presence of a natural water source not far from the house (a well, for example) is a prerequisite for comfortable living in areas deprived of centralized water supply. The owners of private housing, located in areas remote from the center, very carefully relate to the sources at their disposal, trying to protect them from the weather and destruction.

To this end, for a long time, it is customary to close wells with small wooden buildings that can protect them from pollution, as well as protect them from damaging natural influences. In addition, such buildings (if they are made with the soul) may well become an ornament of the surrounding landscape.

Even a non-professional who is familiar only with the basics of construction work is able to make a well house for a well. Moreover, with the independent production of a protective structure, sometimes it is possible to save a lot of money.

Tools and materials

There are many options for protective fences, built over the well head, but the most attractive is a house made of natural wood. For its arrangement you will need the following materials:

• wooden beam 50x100 mm;
• edged board;
• lining board;
• roofing material (roofing material).

In addition, you will need to prepare metal corners, staples, nails and screws. As for the working tool, you will need:

• screwdriver;
• electric jigsaw;
• plane;
• knife.

In addition, you should stock up with the necessary working tools such as level, chisel, tape measure and screwdriver.

Assembling the frame house

The starting material for the arrangement of the frame of the house with a gable roof is a wooden beam and edged board. To prepare it, we will need four racks with a height of 50 cm and a set of edged boards tying the bars on top and bottom of the frame base.

For reliable fastening of the structure, nails of at least 10 cm in length should be used.

In the process of assembling the frame, its two halves are first prepared, consisting of 2 racks connected by cutting boards on top and bottom. After that, both the resulting structures are located around the well and are interconnected by elements of the strapping.

It is easy to see that the project chosen by us (duo-pitch) is distinguished by simplicity and versatility, since it allows us to use the most "running" building material for arranging the frame.

Roof structure and trim

We start the manufacture of the roof with the arrangement of the truss system, designed in the form of a rigid structure, onto which the lathing is subsequently nailed. In the rafters should be provided such "classic" elements of structures of this class, such as:

• sticks from a board 2.5 cm thick (8 pieces);
• parts of rafters (6 pieces);
• crossbar (3 pieces).

Note that the strips used for the manufacture of crates, should be typed at regular intervals (with a constant pitch).

The assembly of the roof, which is recommended to be carried out on the ground, is carried out in the following sequence:

1. First of all, the upper ends of the rafters are cut at an angle and interconnected by brackets.
2. To increase the rigidity of the construction, the rafters are fastened with a bolt mounted 30 cm below the point of their connection.
3. Then on the rafters are prepared notches for fastening with the elements of the upper frame of the frame. Their fastening is carried out with the help of brackets or nails 120 mm.
4. After this, the structure should be strengthened with additional stitches and the trusses should be fastened with two boards (a kind of ridge).
5. At the end of the work, the resulting construction is covered with roofing felt, on top of which slate is placed. Seats corner joints are closed with special wind boards.

Door installation

In the manufacture of the house it is necessary to provide for the door, made in the form of a simple board board.

The doors are cut from the edged board to the size of the gable and fastened with wooden bars of a suitable section. For their production you will need two bars, located above and below the canvas. In order to increase the strength of the structure, it is possible to install another wooden beam along its diagonal.

Thus, you will be able to completely hide the well under the roof, while the door will be located above its base.

At the final stage of work, the construction of the gables of the structure is made, after which it will be possible to process the boards with special protective agents (antiseptic, for example). After it dries, all external surfaces should be varnished or painted with special wood paint.

That is the easiest house ready for the well. Maybe you made a more complex structure? Share your experience with us by leaving comments on the article.
