The frame of the house from the profile pipe do it yourself

Steel pipe profile belongs to the category of the most attractive materials used in the construction of structures of various categories. The special attractiveness of the profile blanks is associated with the presence of many remarkable properties, the main of which are the simplicity of the preparation of pipes, the ease of their molding and installation.

This explains the high demand for specialized products among private traders who plan to assemble the frame of the house from a shaped pipe with their own hands.

At the initial stage of assembly work, you should decide on the optimal parameters of shaped blanks (their section and total number), ensuring the strength and reliability of the future frame. After that, it is necessary to designate those construction sites for the construction of which pipe metal profiles will be used. It should be noted that the following metal pipes can be assembled:

• base trim and floor;
• external walls of the frame;
• interior partitions;
• overlapping base and roof.

Preparation for installation

For self-preparation of the frame structure of the profile, you can use standard kits that are available for sale. In this case, its installation is reduced to simple assembly operations performed using classic screw connections.

In that case, if you decide to use separate profile blanks for installation, you will have to involve a welding specialist in your work and prepare a complete set of appropriate equipment. In this case, the assembly of the composite metal structure is carried out, as a rule, directly on the site of the construction of the future structure.

When mounting the frame structure, it is necessary to strictly observe all the requirements of the assembly instructions, paying particular attention to the quality of welding of individual components.

It is necessary to control the verticality and horizontal installation of all elements, as well as the correctness of their placement during assembly.

Since the mass of the metal assembly structure is small - as a foundation base can be used conventional piles or reinforced concrete blocks of small size.

Construction installation procedure

The frame is assembled from a profile pipe usually in this order:

1. First of all, the lower strapping is prepared, the elements of which are welded reliably to the foundation tabs (pins). Such an attachment gives the erected structure the necessary stability and rigidity.
2. Then, the corner posts of the frame are welded to the elements of the lower trim.
3. Intermediate vertical racks are mounted around the perimeter of the structure at an equal distance from one another (equal to or slightly less than the width of the cladding material).
4. After that, you can proceed to the final fastening of the racks by welding the top trim to them. In order to impart additional stability to the structure, it is recommended to use special spacers made from the same profiles and welded to the trim elements.

For the assembly of frame elements experiencing increased load effect (lower piping and racks), pipes with a wall thickness of 8 mm and a cross section of 100x100 mm are usually used. Additional spacers are made of profile section 60x60 mm.

Special attention should be paid to the profile logs on which the subfloor is laid and which are fixed on the beams of the bottom trim by welding.

To obtain a full-fledged flooring the distance between the laid lags should not be more than 60cm.

Upon its completion, you can proceed to the installation of interfloor overlap. This frame construction includes a set of special profiles fixed on the walls of the erected structure and floor beams, to which the ceiling paneling is attached to the bottom.

Assembling the elements of the roof

At the final stage of preparing the frame of the house, the roof system of the structure is assembled from the profile pipe, which can be part of the whole structure or be a separate structure.

In the event that you use light materials (polycarbonate, ondulin or transparent slate) to close the roof, it is most convenient to assemble lightweight structural elements on the ground. The trusses prepared in this way can then be raised up and welded to the strapping elements. To prepare the roof of heavy materials will need to use more powerful profiles. In this case, the assembly of the structure is best carried out directly on the roof.

As the main carrier element of the roof, the Mauerlat, a powerful channel is used, to which all other elements of the roof are subsequently fastened (girders, rafters, ridge supports, etc.).
