What to put a summer cottage on. Do-it-yourself foundation for a change house made of blocks: features and sequence of work

1. Site preparation:

Having concluded an agreement for the supply of a change house, it’s time to prepare the site for its installation. A change house is a lightweight structure, but it cannot be installed directly on the ground. To prevent the cabin from coming into contact with the ground, a columnar foundation is required (columns are installed around the perimeter and corners of the house at a distance of two meters from each other). The posts can be built directly on the site from a mixture of sand and concrete or made of stone and bricks, but they can also be purchased complete with a change house. Typically this is concrete blocks measuring 40 x 20 x 20 cm. Consultation on how to install such posts can be obtained from our managers. A non-specialist can easily prepare the site himself: first of all, at the site where the posts are installed, the soil is removed to a depth of ten to fifteen centimeters, then a sand cushion is made to ground level, and the posts are placed on it. The height of the columns above the ground should be approximately twenty centimeters, however, if the selected location has a slope, the height will have to be varied to level the foundation.

All cabins have load-bearing skis - this is the base of the cabin, a 100x150mm beam. We will focus on them when preparing the site. The distance between the skis of the Change House is 1.85 m, the length of the skis depends on the Change House you choose.

Cabin length/Ski length

Change house 2x2.3m, skis - 2.2m,

Change house 3x2.3m, skis - 3.2m,

Change house 4x2.3m, skis - 4.2m,

Change house 5x2.3m, skis - 5.2m,

Change house 6x2.3mm (5.8m), skis - 6m,

Change house 7x2.3m (6.8m), skis - 7m,

New technologies for the Module Store:

The company "Magazin Bytovok" is moving to the European level of vapor barrier!
Country cabins and houses are universal structures that are used in different weather conditions. A standard cabin must successfully withstand both frost and rain. This means it is necessary to improve and choose more reliable materials for equipping cabins. The places and purposes in which cabins are used are increasingly diverse: summer cottages, construction sites, recreation centers, utility rooms, sanatoriums, buildings for shops and security posts. In addition to the fact that it is necessary to use high-quality insulation (the Bytovok Store company recommends environmentally friendly URSA insulation), it is also necessary to preserve it from external influences.
Now, instead of the outdated material Glassine P-250, which is of low quality and has a specific tar odor, we use the Izovek B membrane - a universal two-layer impenetrable vapor barrier. This material is designed to protect insulation and building structures from the penetration of water vapor. One side of the material has an anti-condensation surface to bind moisture droplets.
Many people wonder - but similar materials used in the construction of houses and are laid from the inside, between the insulation and the inner wall. But this option is suitable for permanent houses with main walls, while the wall of the cabin on the outside consists of eurolining (in an improved version it is Block House or Imitation Timber), which means it has much less protection from vapors coming from outside - that is why during the construction of cabins a membrane is laid from the outside of the insulation. The insulation itself has a high enough moisture resistance that temporary use does not require a vapor barrier from the inside. However, when purchasing cabins for long-term use or mini-houses for winter living, it is recommended to add an additional option - a double membrane, and then a vapor barrier is laid on both sides of the insulation. If you insulate the wall with double insulation (100mm) and lay a membrane on both sides, the building will become absolutely suitable for winter living, and its service life will almost double!
Due to the annual emergence of new needs for the use of cabins and mini-houses, it is necessary to improve the design and extend the service life of mobile buildings. The construction market adapts to customer requests by producing more advanced materials, and the Bytovok Store company is trying to improve the quality of its work for you. By extending the service life of a temporary building, you get the opportunity to get a permanent guest house or a long-term building for the price of a change house.

How to install a change house on the site?
A change house is very convenient solution for those who are in the process of building a summer house or house. The change house is perfect solution to organize a place of temporary residence. But after the decision to purchase one has already been made and even an order has been placed, a number of organizational questions arise that boil down to one thing: how to install a change house on the site? We will try to answer this and other questions further.
Question No. 1: How to prepare the site?
The change house can be installed directly on the ground, but this is not advisable. Wooden cabins will last much longer if the site is properly prepared for their installation. Even a non-specialist can do this task and it is not only possible, but also necessary.
Change houses can be installed on columns. They can be made of any material: wood, brick, metal and any others. But there is general rule for columns of any materials: they must stand firmly on the surface, as they will support the structure. The distance between the columns should be no more than two meters in order to ensure maximum stability of the shed.
But the columns should not be installed directly on the ground. Experts advise removing upper layer soil (about 5-6 centimeters) in order to get rid of unnecessary debris and plants. If necessary, the site can be leveled by removing more soil in certain places.
Some users create a sand cushion for their cabins. To do this, just pour sand onto the cleaned area.
Question No. 2: How will the change house be delivered to me?
The cabins are usually delivered by freight transport called a crane. The change house is delivered already assembled. It is unloaded using a crane (hence the name of the vehicle), which is located in the cargo compartment of the truck. The change house will be quickly unloaded in the place that was prepared for it in advance or in any place specified by the customer.
Question #3: What if a truck can’t get to my site?
This happens quite often. If the customer is unlucky with the roads or the cabin must be installed in a secluded place that is not accessible to a large truck, then delivery this way is impossible. If desired, the client can use the service of assembling the cabin on the site. Our specialists will quickly and efficiently assemble the shed on the site.

Advantages of wooden cabins

On the farm and simply when constructing a new building, wooden cabins are used, which not only become a lifesaver at the time of construction, but also after all construction work is completed, the cabins can be successfully used on the farm.

The most important advantage of wooden cabins is that they do not require construction and the consumption of additional materials. The finished change house is delivered to the customer at the place that he himself indicates. After this, the shed is installed on the site and can be used immediately. The configuration and layout of a wooden cabin depends entirely on the customer’s preferences.

The second advantage of cabins is durability. There is a myth that a wooden shed will wear out very quickly, rot, and is not practical to use, since very soon it will become unusable. But such statements are nothing more than a myth. The wood is treated repeatedly with various solutions that protect the wood from wear, adverse influences of the external environment and from pests. The top of the wood is covered with a thick layer of transparent varnish, which provides additional protection. Thus, the wooden change house is durable.

Another myth: the cabin will be cold in winter. This is also not true. The change house is delivered to the customer equipped with all necessary communications for heating connection. Just a few hours of work or calling a professional - and the cabin is equipped with heat in the winter.

A few more advantages: weight, price and appearance. The weight of the cabin is small, which allows it to be comfortably transported and installed at any distance and in any area. The price of the change house is low, which makes it affordable to almost every buyer, and the look of the change house has a modern design and will decorate any area.

Cosmetic repairs of cabins

Cosmetic renovation is one of the possible ways to give the room a beautiful and attractive look. Cosmetic repairs of wooden cabins are appropriate if the owner of the cabin needs to refresh the design of the cabin premises, give the interior a new sound, but cosmetic repairs are not carried out immediately after purchasing the cabin, since the cabin is already equipped. Another reason: the change house has just been built and it is better to let it “stand” for a while.

Cosmetic repair is the removal of wallpaper and old paint and gluing new wallpaper, filling surfaces and painting. Cosmetic repairs also include replacing doors and windows, repairing or replacing flooring, changing the shape or size of window or door cuts.

Cosmetic repairs do not involve complex construction work, such as leveling walls, ceilings, working with concrete and other work that requires experience and professionalism to perform. It is worth saying that experts do not recommend carrying out such repair work in cabins. A change house is a temporary building that is designed to be light and mobile and there is no point in carrying out complex construction work inside its premises.

Cosmetic repairs can be done independently, as it does not involve complex work and large labor costs. Cosmetic repairs will help give the cabin a new and fresh look, and the owner will be able to fall in love with his wooden building again.

A garden shed is...

A garden shed is a reasonable and profitable solution for newly-minted summer residents. Usually, no one wants to waste time, which means they begin cultivating the purchased plot literally right away. What if there is no housing on the site, and the journey there and back takes too long? Put off planting trees, shrubs, flowers, and creating beds for many months and even years until the house is built?
Of course it's not necessary. The ideal solution in such a situation would be to buy a garden shed - a very affordable small house that is not only fully suitable for habitation, but also will not spoil the appearance of the site. Not a hastily built shed, which also requires funds and which is unlikely to decorate the site, but a nice “teremok”, the color and type of which you can choose yourself.
Ready-made garden sheds compare favorably with ordinary (construction) ones in that they are better insulated and last much longer. In fact, this is an ordinary small house in which you can live peacefully even with children. Natural materials, from which the cabins are made, do not cause any harm to health. Such cabins have helped many gardeners comfortably spend more time in the lap of nature.
And after the house is ready, the change house can be used as a guest house, an outdoor shower or a warehouse for gardening tools.

The outer part of the building is sheathed with galvanized or colored corrugated sheeting, insulated with URSA M-11 mineral wool, and vapor barrier with Izovek B membrane. Metal sheets with and without galvanization are used for roofing. Thanks to the frame made of rolled metal (angle and channel), it is possible to join several blocks and install them directly on top of each other (no more than two). This is an undeniable, important and convenient advantage of models of this type.

How to insulate a change house for winter?

In order for the cabin to retain heat, it needs to be insulated. Insulation can be carried out both inside the room and outside. One of the ways to insulate the inside of a cabin is to fill all the cracks polyurethane foam, and outside - cladding of external walls with URSA M-11 mineral wool. Before laying a layer of insulation, it is necessary to lay a layer of waterproofing material, for example, roofing felt or glassine. Owners of wooden cabins should pay special attention to the waterproofing layer, since wood has a porous structure and retains water inside more strongly. URSA M-11 mineral wool is laid on top of the waterproofing layer, which is fixed using staplers. After laying the thermal insulation, the exterior of the cabin is finished with clapboard, block house or imitation timber.
To preserve heat indoors, attention should be paid to insulating the ceiling, windows and doors. The ceiling and doors are insulated in the same way as the walls with heat-insulating material, and the windows are replaced with single plastic ones with insulation of cracks and sealing of slopes. Well-prepared for winter and insulated cabins can be used for living in 30-degree frost, provided that the insulation with URSA M-11 mineral wool is 100 mm, that is, 2 layers.

How to choose the right cabin?

Before choosing a specific cabin, you need to decide for what purposes and for how long you need it. The service life of a wooden cabin is 3-15 years, a metal one - 5-20 years.
The dimensions of temporary houses, as a rule, do not exceed 8 meters in length and 2.3 in width, due to restrictions when transporting them assembled by road. You can order a change house of other sizes, but then it will be assembled on your site. Assembling the shed on your site will allow you to verify the quality and authenticity of the materials used by the manufacturer.
It is advisable to think about the interior decoration of the house. The walls and floors in the cabin are finished with various materials, depending on the purpose of its use. You can lay wear-resistant household linoleum on the floor, which protects the floor well from destruction, or cover it with floor paint/parquet varnish, and cover the walls with wooden lining, plastic lining, block house or imitation timber.
For the roofing of cabins, different materials are used - roofing felt, the service life of which does not exceed two years, colored or galvanized sheet - the most durable of the listed types of roofing.
You should also take into account the service life of the cabin. If you plan to use it year-round, you need to take care of double insulation of the house, the possibility of supplying electricity, heating and draining rainwater from the roof.

Types of cabins!

Change houses are called small houses, more like trailers, intended for temporary residence of people. They can be mobile, with the ability to quickly move to a new facility, or stationary. In addition to living, cabins can be used for storage different materials, tools, small-sized equipment. And in houses intended for living, you can install the necessary furniture (tables, chairs, beds).
There are two main types of cabins - construction and country houses, but they are also divided by the type of material from which they are made - wooden and metal.
In metal houses, the frame is made of channels, which gives the structure strength and allows the cabins to be installed on top of each other, forming a “multi-story building,” and the outside is covered with metal sheets or siding. The frame of wooden houses is made of beams, sheathed on the outside with clapboard, and on the inside with fiberboard.
For summer residents starting to develop their land, cabins become indispensable as temporary housing. Country cabins are made of timber, frame and panel. With their help, you can temporarily build a shower, toilet, utility room and even a bathhouse. And upon completion of the construction of a country house, use the change house as a summer kitchen or guest house.

But how can you make your purchase enjoyable so that you don’t make a mistake? You should understand that when buying a change house “from your own hands” you are taking quite a big risk. And the risks lie in the fact that the change house, as a rather large-sized item, is difficult to transport, load and further install. Some factors to take into account:
- Firstly, you first need to find out the location of the cabin you are buying. It may be located in a place inaccessible to transport, in particular to construction equipment.
- Secondly, you must understand that even if there is transport access, installation work and transportation will not cost you cheap, and the cost of these services is usually subtracted from the cost of the cabin you are buying, that is, transportation is paid by the seller.
You should also not buy such expensive things in absentia, that is, make a decision and make a purchase without first looking at it in person, but only based on an oral description and photo or video materials. Remember that if you buy something secondhand, you risk losing your money. As you know, the miser pays twice. Be vigilant, or to protect yourself, buy a new cabin.

housing for general workers, premises for location various instruments or large materials

on a garden plot or construction site. Cabins made in good quality cabins will be able to

serve as housing, a canteen on a film set or other set, a small store or a pass

security point. This range of uses for cabins is determined by their small dimensions and light weight.

level of transportation. Considering this fact, the change house can be easily and without time spent transported from the point

to the point. An additional positive quality of the cabins is their low cost. Externally

According to aesthetic data, the cabins are not inferior to normal housing. Moreover, taking into account the cold and

frosts, cabins can be insulated, which increases the comfort of living and other activities inside

cabins On the contrary, for summer time, cabins are equipped with window openings and a special system

ventilation. The multifunctionality of cabins at low cost increases the rating of cabins by

market!

Considering the relation of the change house to the category of temporary sites for trading purposes, housing and other things, nevertheless, everyone tries to make staying in it as comfortable as possible. This function of comfort will be performed by furniture for change houses. The main facts and characteristics that, by definition, furniture for change houses are equipped with are an attractive appearance, ease of quick transportation, high levels of comfort and compact dimensions. When choosing furniture for your household, you should take into account the factor of your safety and environmental friendliness of the furniture. That is why wooden furniture is the most relevant option for change houses. In addition, wooden frame furniture does not require specialized care and is very durable. Accordingly, by purchasing wooden furniture for your household, you can furnish the room not only for living, but also for the dining room, and for the garden. An impressive range of shades will make the interior of the cabin not only comfortable and convenient, but also aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

Insulation of the cabin- a process that their owners often resort to. Most often, this is a necessary operation taking into account the not always favorable climatic conditions of our country. The preparatory stage should be the preliminary preparation of the walls: cleaning of plants, removal of unusable boards and chips - in general, the removal of any objects that interfere with further work on the facade. Next, the future facing insulating layer is carefully marked. Depending on the thickness of the wall, a vapor barrier is laid or not. At this point, it is better to consult a specialist. If there are gaps between the walls themselves and the insulation, you can put small wooden blocks. Mineral wool material of the URSA M-11 type has become increasingly used as insulation. Firstly, it is easy to transport, since in the package it is several times smaller than when unpacked. This is material with for a long time service, it is easy to install and mineral wool is an excellent sound and heat insulator. Mineral wool is secured with special metal clamps. It is important to ensure that the cotton wool is not pressed too hard and to leave a ventilated gap so that the material does not become damp.

In seven cases of purchases of change houses out of 10 buyers choose a model with a pitched roof to make it easier to clear it of snow in winter. Now we will tell you how to insulate the pitched roof of a cabin yourself. First of all, it is necessary to lay waterproofing with a high coefficient of vapor permeability. It is better to fasten this to the roof with stainless steel nails. The waterproofing is laid with small breaks so that it does not crack in frost. Depending on the material with which you will cover the roof, the size of the gaps and the technique of laying over the waterproofing depends. Another factor influencing the size of the gap is the length of the roof slope. The shorter the slope, the smaller the gap. When covering the roof with any materials, it is enough to follow the attached instructions. It is important to observe the angle of inclination of the material in order to avoid the roof being torn off by gusts of wind. If you plan to insulate the roof with mineral wool, then it is placed between the slings. In addition to its main function, mineral wool serves as a good sound insulator. The last stage will be the internal lining. As a material, you can choose lining, block house, imitation timber, taking into account personal wishes.

Buy a change house despite Not every buyer can afford its relatively low cost. For such purposes, many companies provide their clients with the option of renting cabins. This is especially convenient when using a change house as a room on temporary sites. But it is important to remember a number of points that will help you “not get into trouble” when renting a cabin.
The tenant of the cabin and the company providing this facility enter into a rental agreement and an act of delivery and acceptance of the cabin itself. The contract contains mandatory fields, such as “Subject of the contract”, “Duties” and “Responsibility”, a calculation column, a clause describing the permission controversial situations. In the situation of renting a cabin for a short period, the cost must include delivery of the cabin to where you need it and back to the rental company. Before you complete the paperwork, carefully inspect the cabins inside and out. Note whether there are any problems with the wiring, whether the façade cladding is solid, or whether there are rotten bars if the cabin is made of wood. It is also important to pay attention to previously repaired parts, if any. For example, a sheet covering a roof. Perhaps there are still problems there. It is also advisable to obtain information about the number of transportations in which the cabin has been, because each transportation wears out and shortens the service life of the object.

It is a mistaken opinion that change houses are used exclusively in garden areas and dacha areas. Legal entities are often interested in metal structures of cabins. Those trade stalls that you see at the market, kiosks at bus stops, auto repair shops or small roadside cafes are all change houses. Of course, change houses are extremely profitable for such purposes, because their cost is low, which means they quickly pay for themselves, they have a long service life, and they can be used for a wide variety of needs. As you have seen for yourself, buying a change house is not a waste of money. Taking into account recent conditions, companies began to give preference to block containers, due to their main advantage - the ability to combine them into a modular building. Thus, you can have a whole area of ​​premises for various purposes, which is very cost-effective, for example, in a construction site or fair. Block containers are quickly installed and modular structures can also be easily dismantled. When ordering a change house, you can always choose the dimensions, layout and external decoration. Modular containers, arranged end-to-end horizontally or vertically, increase the functionality of cabins and allow you to implement projects of varying complexity.

The first cabins appeared with the emergence of English settlers moving to North America. When settling in a new place, the British of those years set up a sawmill in the new territory for the extraction of building materials. It is not difficult to guess that the first cabins were made of wood. Of course, the first cabins were also considered temporary housing, but in the end, living in such cabins dragged on for many months. Change houses were produced in large quantities, because the advantages of using them were obvious. Firstly, making a change house was simple and did not take much time. Secondly, this process cost little. The first examples of cabins were simple and mainly consisted of one room, which served as a kitchen, a bedroom, etc. Later, cabins began to be improved by adding an entrance hall and bathrooms on the street. People thought about protecting wood from rot and insects even then, trying to prevent rapid failure of the structure. The cabins were used for both housing and public needs. They also stored supplies, equipment, etc. in the cabins. Many countries followed the example of the British, constantly developing and improving the process of making cabins.

Don't try to find the person, able to refute the fact that a change house made of wood looks more aesthetically pleasing and outwardly attractive than a metal container. But, when analyzing the other side of the issue, any wooden products require special managed care and caring attitude. Change houses are no exception here. Below are useful and understandable tips for everyone that will help maintain comfort inside a wooden cabin.
Due to the level of humidity above normal, the tree can be affected by mold fungus, and then rotting and damage to the beams occurs. Humidity increases due to weather and climatic phenomena, factors, and, of course, due to poorly ventilated rooms. Fire protection of the cabin will not only guarantee protection against the appearance of pathogenic microorganisms and molds, but also protect the structure from fire. Only certain elements of the cabin are treated with this antiseptic.
Also, as a protective measure against external influences, the façade of the cabin is covered with protective layer paints. This also adds visual appeal to the cabin. Also an important measure to prevent damage to the cabin is the insulation of wooden elements from wet soil, natural stones and concrete.

Like in the old days, and to this day the change house was considered temporary housing. This was precisely its first function in those years when it first came into use in life. Also, undoubtedly, the first places where cabins began to be installed were construction sites and sawmills in the United States. This mini-house received the name “change house” from the abbreviated word “life”, due to the constant desire of builders to create conditions for comfortable living away from home. Yes, and the first change houses were not distinguished by their durability and aesthetics.
After some time, everyone started talking about the advantages of cabins: they last a long time, do not require special care, and are easy and inexpensive to build. A breakthrough in the use and improvement of the quality of cabins was made by Canadian craftsmen. They began to make multi-storey cabins like cottages. In Finland, due to a shortage of housing, cabins were used for permanent place residence of the population.
Metal structures of cabins appeared among railway workers. Their creation was based on used cars. Their use also began to grow due to the placement of such cabins on wheels, which made it possible to transport the cabin from place to place.
Nowadays, cabins are used in many areas of life and are still valued for their low cost.

How to make a change house comfortable!?
Many are convinced that livability and convenience when using change houses is impossible. But that's not true. Additional comfort and safety will be created by a fenced area around the cabin, a water supply and sewerage system with cleaning filters, the presence of electricity, proper furniture, etc. Most often, the area around the cabin is covered with a fence made of corrugated sheets. You can easily supply water to the cabin as follows: from a dug well, a pumping station supplies water to the cabin. Sewer system used in several versions: external and internal. Each category has its own advantages, but also differs in time and money costs. The simplest option is a cesspool, but this system has a lot of disadvantages, so it is used as a temporary means. Recently modified cesspools, called storage tanks and have become more widely used due to positive sanitary factors. Biological treatment systems using microorganisms and natural treatment with a mechanical septic tank are also becoming fashionable. Therefore, creating the necessary level of comfort in a change house is a solvable task.

For the dacha!
Each of the summer cottages is trying to make a multifunctional place where you can work productively and fruitfully and also relax comfortably. A well-chosen shed will become a universal building in all kinds of dacha areas. Everyone varies the external aesthetics, based on their preferences, whether it will be a wooden change house or a metal container. In addition, it is important to effectively use the internal space of the change house and divide it into zones. The commercial sector does not require coziness or a special atmosphere. The main factor here is that everything is at hand and stored in proper form. But for the recreation area it is worth applying style ideas and ideas when selecting furniture. Comfortable and at the same time fire-safe furniture will not only become an attractive addition to the interior decoration of the cabin, but will also allow you to spend time there comfortably. For cold seasons, the cabin must be insulated so that it can be lived in. Well, and of course, laid engineering and other communications, as well as a well-thought-out bathroom will add functionality and comfort to the change house. Thus, a change house on a summer cottage can proudly be called a favorite place for the whole family!

How to transport a cabin or container?
When purchasing a change house or container, many are faced with a sensitive and pressing question: “How to transport such a large purchase as a change house?”
If the transportation distance is not very long, then a regular truck can be used for this purpose. The shed will be loaded onto a truck using a crane.
Since the change house is significant in weight, the crane that loads it must be equipped with special outriggers, as well as a rotary crane. Using such a crane and a truck, you can load both wooden and metal cabins onto a truck. The advantage of such a crane is the ability to use it in the city.
If the distance over which you need to transport the cabin is significant, we recommend that you contact a transport company. A railway company can be considered as a transport company. It is worth considering that a wooden cabin must be carefully prepared for transportation, since it is more susceptible to the risk of damage during transportation than a metal cabin.

A summer cottage with a veranda will help create a cozy atmosphere at your dacha.

Many city dwellers dream of having a small, cozy dacha somewhere in the countryside, where they can always escape from the bustle of the city and the crazy pace of life. However, not every city resident can afford to build a big house. In addition, this is often not necessary, because most often city residents tend to go to their dachas in the spring and summer.
It’s great that for such a case there is an excellent alternative option, like a country house with a veranda.
Such a change house is a wooden structure, which differs small in size, but at the same time characterized by a high degree of comfort. As a rule, manufacturers of country cabins strive to take into account as much as possible all the nuances and subtleties of using the premises. You can live in such cabins for some time even with children. There are many options for such country cabins with a veranda, so you can always choose the most suitable option for you, both in terms of functionality and appearance.
The basis of country cabins with a veranda is a frame made of timber. To manufacture such a cabin, high-quality thermal insulation materials are used. The manufacturer also installs plumbing equipment and electrical wiring into the cabin.
Thus, dacha cabins with a veranda are an excellent alternative to building a large, expensive house at the dacha.

LINOLEUM - 150 years with us!

HISTORY OF LINOLEUM
Linoleum- the progenitor of which is “oiled linen.” “Oiled linen” was patented in 1763 with the following description: “... on the fabric there is a covering mass of a mixture of resin, oleoresin, Spanish brown dye, beeswax and linseed oil, which is applied hot” .
In 1843, ground balsa wood was added to the production of linen for the first time
This is how the so-called “kamptulikon” (from the Greek word “kampto” literally “I bend”) appears for the first time. "Kamptulikon" was already the direct parent of linoleum.
The new material quickly gained popularity, but on June 10, 1846, Robert William Thomson patented the world's first car tire, which caused a huge jump in the price of rubber, which was used to make camptulicon. Manufacturers had no choice but to look for a replacement for the rapidly rising price of raw materials, and they found it - steel as a substitute for rubber linseed oil and linseed oil (later replaced by linoxin).

December 19, 1863 is exactly 150 years old on the back, patent No. 84955426060 is issued for the production of linoleum to the very efficient business Englishman Frederick Walton, in fact it is the same camptulicone, but its ingredients no longer contain rubber.
He takes the name of the material from the Latin oleum lini - literally linseed oil.
Later, the Scotsman Michael Nain significantly improved the production technology of this floor covering. Industrial production of linoleum was first launched by Walton, Taylor and Co. in 1864 in the town of Staines, near the capital of Great Britain. Initially, linoleum was produced on a fabric (jute) basis from vegetable oils (linseed, sunflower, tung) and cork flour - the so-called glypthal linoleum.

Modern technology for the production of linoleum is as follows - linseed oil is oxidized, and a special mixture is formed, called linoleum cement. The mixture is cooled and mixed with pine resin and wood chips and then linoleum sheets are formed.

At the beginning of the 20th century Russian empire was one of the main producers of linoleum. The largest factories in Europe were located in Odessa and Riga. After the October Revolution, Russia lost its position as a world leader in the production of floor coverings and linoleum.

Due to the scarcity of vegetable oil, the main component for glyphthalic linoleum since the 50s of the 20th century, this incomplete coating gives way to polyvinyl chloride linoleum (PVC coating)
PVC linoleum on TZI basis Industrial, flooring, new material successor. what a man came up with 150 years ago.

About other companies producing “change houses”.

Many of them try their best to imitate us, copy our website and photos, try to make projects of cabins like ours, without thinking at all about the quality of the product and the execution of the technology for assembling these projects. As long as it looks like a brand. It probably doesn't matter to them. It is important for them to build more cabins during the summer season and close in the fall until next May, without thinking about guarantees or deceived clients.

Just ask them questions and you will understand everything yourself:

- how many years have you been on the market?

- what is your guarantee and do you provide it? all year round?

And we, the Household Store, have been working for you all year round since 2007 in Moscow. Our address: Moscow, Marushkino village, 48.

Analysts from our company, under the guise of secret shoppers, did a study on the topic of “complaints in mini-houses and cabins.” We were primarily interested in what problems there are when operating mini houses and cabins. But the results surprised us very much. It turns out that most companies say: “In the entire history of our company, we have not had a single complaint, because... We build cabins perfectly.” It is clear that when there is a lie at the entrance, it is useless to talk further about %% of complaints, about what problems are encountered. Our company has always been a model of openness, so we decided to take responsibility and describe the real situation on this issue.

The first thing I want to say is that about 5-7% of clients contact the claims department with any complaints during the first year. We don't think this is bad. A mini house/house is a rather complex organism. Even the Mercedes car, which is produced in millions of copies, with fully automated production, has about 25% of complaints in the first year. The mini house/cabin has a lot of individual features and is not produced on a “German assembly line”, but is created on a construction site and has a lot of nuances.

Instead of telling “fairy tales” that “nothing ever breaks and there have never been any complaints,” we concentrated on correct processing flow of complaints. What exactly have we done:

• A special telephone number has been allocated and a duty manager has been appointed who collects all information about incoming complaints. The customer can call directly to this number, can write a letter to the general mail, can write a letter to the manager, call his manager, etc., and then come to the office. All this information is recorded and entered by us into a single database.
• The customer receives written notice on email that the defect has been accepted, the letter indicates the method and time frame for its elimination. Not all defects are covered under warranty. For example, small cracks that fit into the specifications are not a defect. Very often, customers turn to us with a request to fix something that our company did not do. For example, a customer’s roof leaked, but he did not install the roof from our company. He just “forgot about it.”
• After this, the defect is eliminated.
• The customer signs a defect elimination certificate and a short questionnaire in which he describes whether he is satisfied with the quality and speed of defect elimination.

To briefly summarize what we wanted to say, we believe that it is important not only to minimize %% of complaints, but also the speed of their elimination is no less important. We give insurance companies as an example to our managers:

When these companies insure cars, they will come to your office with great pleasure to collect the money, immediately fill out all the “paperwork” for you, and you will receive luxury service. As soon as something happens to your car, the insurance company shows its true colors - queues for payments, consideration for months, “footballing”, etc. But insurance companies have tens of thousands of clients. They do not care. We have only a few thousand clients and recommendations are VERY important to us. Therefore, we adopted, in our opinion, the right strategy - to pay special attention to reducing defects. But if suddenly a defect occurs, then eliminate it as quickly and without hassle as possible.

Arrangement of the entrance to the site.

Every summer resident probably has a personal vehicle. In order to make entry to a suburban area as comfortable as possible, it should be properly equipped. To ensure that the newly completed path is not broken by heavy equipment, you should start filling it only after all construction work in the yard has been completed.

Choosing a coating for arranging the entrance to the site

Before we figure out how to arrange the entrance to the site, let’s look at what its surface might be like, and therefore what materials might be needed. There are two types of entrances - hard surfaced and regular. The first option is considered more reliable. In turn, hard coatings are divided into several types:
1 Concrete poured;
2 Wooden;
3 Lined with stone or paving slabs;
4 Concrete, assembled from slabs;
5 Paved.

Most often, owners of suburban areas use concrete or regular sand coating.
How to fill the entrance to the site with concrete?

Concrete pavement has a high degree of reliability. Such an entrance can last as long as the building itself. In addition, it is easiest to arrange the entrance to the site yourself using concrete.

How to do it right?

The depth of the hole under the path should be about 20-30cm. You should first make markings using pegs and cord. Dornite is placed at the bottom of the pit. Next, wooden formwork is installed. Construction of the entrance to the site continues by filling the geotextile with sand mixed with gravel and tamping. This layer should be approximately 15-25cm high.

Then fill the “trough” to the brim.

Important: It is necessary that the thickness of the top concrete layer be at least five centimeters. Otherwise, when moving along the path trucks it might just crack.

Over the next two weeks, the resulting coating must be moistened with water daily. The concrete will finally mature in a month.

Sandy entrance

Now let's see how to make an entrance to a site from ordinary sand. In this case, the “trough” in the ground is made in the same way as when pouring concrete. Its depth in this case should be half a meter. The bottom of the pit is lined with geotextiles. Next, the “trough” is covered with 20 cm layers of sand, carefully compacting each one with water.

Entrance to the site above the ditch

Around dachas located in the lowlands, there are often drainage ditches. In this case, arrangement of the entrance to the site can be done in three ways:
1. By laying pipes at the bottom of the ditch;
2. Using reinforced concrete slabs;
3. Using wooden sleepers.

The pipe in the ditch is laid on crushed stone. It can also be covered with the same material on top. This method is quite convenient, however, pipes these days are not very cheap.

Tip: If desired, the pipe can be concreted. This will make the entire structure more reliable. In addition, the risk that the pipe will be moved during the spring flood will be eliminated.

Reinforced concrete slabs or sleepers are simply laid on top of the ditch. The result in both cases is a completely reliable coating.

Gate and parking

Arranging the entrance to the site means not only pouring the path, but also installing a gate. In order to make it convenient to enter and enter the yard, their width should be at least 3.5 m. It is best if there is a gate next to them or right in them.

A parking area is most often installed either directly in front of the gate or opposite the garage. The method of concreting it is no different from the technology of concreting a path.

As you can see, arranging the entrance to the site is not a particularly lengthy or labor-intensive process. As for the material suitable for this purpose, concrete can be considered the most economical and at the same time quite reliable.

Garden sheds - will allow you to create cozy temporary country housing at minimal cost

A wonderful plot of land has been found and purchased, and I really want to start cultivating the land and planting trees, bushes, and berries, but the round trip journey takes a lot of time, and it’s unlikely that it will be possible to quickly build a house. At the same time, you don’t want to “sculpt” something from scrap materials, which, however, will also have to be delivered, spending on this the funds prepared for the construction of the house.

Much easier buy a garden shed, which looks great and is comfortable to live in. Change houses, cost which are quite affordable, are perfect for living while the house is being built, and later you can make an excellent guest house out of it.

Shelter store offers them in a large assortment in a wide price range. This means that it is possible to choose the best option and buy a garden shed with the best price/quality ratio.

Quite often during the off-season change shop organizes a sale of his goods. Sale of cabins- this is an excellent opportunity to purchase it at a reduced price, and use the saved money to buy plants, which, by the way, are quite expensive.

Garden ready-made cabins differ from construction cabins in that they are better insulated and last much longer. As a matter of fact residential cabins is a small summer house where you can relax even with small children.

But all finished buildings, including beautiful cabins must be delivered to the place of use and installed correctly. You should not try to find a passing vehicle to deliver you to the site. residential cabins, and then study self-installation. Much easier to purchase turnkey cabins.

Small additional expenses will save your nerves, and beautiful cabins will remain attractive appearance. Sale of cabins- this is an opportunity to purchase turnkey cabins, since the savings can be used to order services for the delivery and installation of a country house building. Garden ready-made cabins in many cases they help out gardeners, giving them the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the lap of nature.

For those summer residents whose plans do not yet include large-scale construction, but want to live in nature, summer cottages have been invented. They are sold ready-made, and the process of transportation and installation does not take much time.

It has long been known: there is nothing more permanent than temporary. Having received ownership of a plot of land for a dacha, everyone imagines a two-story palace with a terrace, winter garden and gazebos. However, it is not possible to start building a house right away, because there is not enough energy, time, or money. And then a Solomonic decision is made: to install a hastily assembled shed at the dacha for a couple of months until full-fledged construction begins. It is clear that quite often construction does not begin either after a couple of months or after a couple of years. And the temporary house quietly turns into a permanent country residence.

So, on to choosing a cabin for own dacha should be taken as seriously as possible. The right country house will serve its owners faithfully for decades: even when you build a real house, the change house can turn into a guest outbuilding, summer kitchen, shower room or workshop.

The range of summer cottages on the market is very wide. There is only one limitation - the dimensions of the houses. Finding a cabin with a width of more than 2.3 m and a length of more than 7 m is quite difficult due to the fact that a large cabin cannot be transported in an open car without special permission from the traffic police. The rest is options interior decoration, location of windows, doors and internal partitions- can be performed at the request of the buyer.

Before choosing a change house, it would be good to draw up a plan for landscaping the site, think in advance about where everything will be and how it will function: where there will be a real house, and where there will be a summer kitchen, a shed or a guest house, which the change house can later turn into. Those who start construction without thinking through everything down to the smallest detail are later forced to redo and move everything.

Preliminary marking of the site must be carried out, not forgetting that, according to the current rules (SNiP 30-02-97 “Planning and development of territories of gardening associations ...”), any buildings must be located at least 5 m away from the street line. And the distance from garden house to the border of the neighboring garden plot should not be less than 3 m, otherwise problems may arise with neighbors when re-registering the plot. Everything else - orientation to the cardinal points and position on the site - is a matter of taste. However, it would be useful to take into account the insolation of the premises: as a rule, the windows of living rooms are oriented to the south, east or northeast, common rooms- to the west. If you orient the windows to the southwest, the rooms can heat up to a more comfortable temperature.

What are they?

There are three types of cabins: panel, frame and timber.

Panel change house

The cheapest, but also the most short-lived, is the panel shed. The outside is sheathed with non-solid clapboard, the inside is upholstered with fiberboard. Insulation (glass wool or polystyrene foam) is placed between them. The floor is made of boards about 21 mm thick, and the roof is covered with iron.

Prices panel cabins do not exceed 10-12 thousand rubles, another question is whether this short-lived and fragile structure is worth even that kind of money. The design of this cabin does not have stiffening ribs, which means that after some time it will “give way” and the house will turn into a lopsided shack.

Frame change house

A frame change house has a much better price-quality ratio. The role of the main load-bearing element here is performed by a wooden frame made of timber measuring 50 x 50 mm. It gives the building the necessary stability and is able to withstand heavy loads.

The finished frame, following the contours of the future house, is lined with clapboard on the outside, and the internal walls are covered with the same clapboard, plywood or fiberboard. The price of the cabin depends on what material the walls are decorated with. The best and, therefore, the most expensive option for interior finishing is lining. Plywood and fiberboard are not as reliable and durable: if the house shrinks, the walls can swell and bulge. In addition, these materials actively absorb moisture and become deformed.

The floor and ceiling in a frame cabin are made double. Below is the so-called draft board, and above is batten thickness not less than 32 mm. Between everyone outer layers cladding (walls, floors and ceilings) lay mineral insulation and vapor barrier, which should prevent the finishing materials inside the house from becoming damp. As a rule, Ursa type mineral wool 5 cm thick with good thermal and soundproofing properties. And the role of a waterproofing agent is performed by cellophane film or glassine.

Prices. A simple frame change house without internal partitions, with a minimum number of windows and doors costs from 27 thousand rubles. A more decent house will cost 38-40 thousand rubles.

Timber cabin

The most durable and expensive cabins are built from coniferous timber with a cross-section of 100 x 150 mm. The timber must be planed outside and inside, and the seams must be insulated with tow or linen. The walls in such houses are usually not sheathed, and the lining is used to construct the ceiling, doors and internal partitions.

Prices timber cabins start from 45 thousand rubles.

• Roofs All types of cabins can have one or two slopes. There is no fundamental difference: pitched roofs are often made for small houses up to 5 m long. As a rule, galvanized iron sheets are used for roofing.
• Window. In the basic version, double-leaf opening windows with one glass - there are one or two of them, depending on the length of the cabin - have a size of 80 x 80 cm. When calculating the budget, it is worth remembering that in the end the price of the cabin can increase significantly. For example, if instead If you want to install double glazing, then for each window on average you will have to pay approximately 400-500 rubles. Additional window will cost about 1.2-1.5 thousand rubles, the same amount of money will be spent on an additional paneled or stacked door. Double insulation will cost 50-70 rubles. per square meter.

But the walls of even an insulated cabin are only 80-85 mm thick, so count on year-round accommodation it is not recommended. Powerful heaters can quickly raise the temperature to a comfortable level, but they will have to work constantly: the cabin can hardly keep warm and will freeze very quickly if the power goes out.

Purchasing power

You can choose the desired version of the change house at any construction market or on the Internet. “Virtual” change houses, especially if you look for them on manufacturers’ websites, will cost less than on the market. But even if you found a house via the Internet, you will need to come to the company in person. There you will make an advance payment (on average 30-50% of the cost), and also enter into an agreement, where all the nuances should be noted, from the dimensions and type of window glazing to the address and delivery time. Typically, sellers of cabins include in the price delivery within 70-100 km from the Moscow Ring Road, each next kilometer will cost 20-30 rubles. Therefore, the same people will need to give the delivery address and draw a route plan to the site.

If the entrances to your destination are in poor condition, it is better to warn the seller about this. He will choose a vehicle that will not get stuck at the entrances to the site or already on it.

As a rule, sellers undertake to complete orders in 10-14 days. On the eve of delivery, the buyer is called and the details of the on-site meeting are discussed with him.

Preparatory work

Having concluded an agreement for the delivery of the house, it’s time to prepare the site for its installation. Change houses are lightweight structures, but they cannot be placed directly on the ground. To prevent the tree from coming into contact with the ground, it is necessary to build a columnar foundation. The posts are installed at a distance of 2 m from each other in the corners and perimeter of the house. The posts can be made directly on the site from a mixture of concrete and sand or made from bricks and stone, or you can buy them along with the change house.

Companies selling change houses offer reinforced concrete blocks measuring 20 x 20 x 40 cm at a price of 85-100 rubles. a piece. You can consult the sellers about how to install columns under the chosen version of the change house.

You can also get the phone number of one of the “fed” construction crews from them, whose services will cost 1-2 thousand rubles.

However, even non-specialists can prepare the site. Where the posts will be installed, you need to remove the soil to a depth of 10-15 cm and make a sand cushion up to ground level, and then place the post on it. The height of the column above the ground should be about 20 cm, but if the selected site has a slope, the height will have to be varied to level the foundation.

If the site is located on clay soil or where groundwater comes close to the surface of the earth, the pillars will have to be dug a little deeper. This is done like this: a hole 40 cm deep is dug under the post, it is filled with 20 cm of compacted sand, and a standard concrete block (20 x 20 x 40 cm) is placed on top of the sand cushion. The soil is filled and compacted between the post and the hole.

The one who delivers it will undertake to place the change house on the prepared foundation. True, for this service the buyer may be asked to pay additional money up to 1 thousand rubles.

The fastest way to build a foundation today is to use blocks. Although this method has some disadvantages, it acts as a more advantageous solution in terms of saving time. Any builder will tell you that pouring a flat foundation surface and working with it in the future is much more convenient, but the concrete must reach the desired condition before you begin construction of the building itself. As for the block foundation, it can be erected in a short time; work can begin in the fall or spring, and such a foundation is suitable even for a change house.

Territory marking

Before you make a foundation for a change house, you must mark out the area. To do this, you need to mark the boundaries of the building. It is better to do this with the help of a rope, metal pegs and a building meter. When marking, it is important to take into account that the width of the foundation should be greater than the width of the wall.

Excavation

Once the marking work is completed, you can begin to prepare the soil. If you plan to build a columnar foundation from blocks, then around the perimeter of the marking and inside it you need to prepare holes, the depth of which will be approximately 1.5 m. If we are talking about a strip foundation, then you will need to remove the top layer of soil and dig a trench, which will turn out to be wider than the blocks by several centimeters.

When building a foundation for a cabin, you must remember that the depth of the trench will depend on the type of soil. If you have to work in sandstones, where the depth of the aquifer exceeds 2 m, then it will be enough to go deeper by 40 cm; in all other cases, this parameter should be increased.

Work technology

The above stages are preparatory character, while the next step will be the main construction, which must be taken seriously. When building a foundation for a shed from blocks, you must connect the elements together with cement mortar, which is sealed before laying.

Do not dilute the solution with water during operation, as this may reduce contact. The blocks should be placed one above the other using the principle of brickwork. In this case, deviations within 15 mm per 10 m are permissible. All seams and joints are filled with mortar to eliminate gaps.

Features of the construction of a columnar foundation

If you decide to build a foundation for a shed out of blocks with your own hands, then the work may be based on the technology of constructing a columnar foundation. In this case, the design will look like this: the support bollards are dug deep into the ground and located around the perimeter of the marking and inside it. This type of foundation can be used for light buildings, this includes not only cabins, but also:

• wooden baths;
• country houses;
• garages.

The construction of such a foundation for a change house is carried out in just one day. Along the perimeter of the building, it is necessary to install cabinets in prepared holes, the height of which will be approximately 40 cm. Their number depends on the weight and size of the cabin. However, before starting to install the pillars, it is necessary to prepare the holes. Their bottom is compacted with special tool or a long stick. Next, crushed stone is poured, this layer should have a thickness ranging from 10 to 12 cm. The next layer will be sand, the thickness of such preparation can be equal to the limit from 5 to 7 cm.

Work methodology

The surface is leveled, only then can you begin installing the first row. The elements are fastened together with cement mortar. When erecting a block foundation for a cabin, you must remember that the supports must be level. If you allow even the slightest inaccuracy, this can lead to distortions, which will be quite problematic to correct. Therefore, when constructing a columnar foundation, it is necessary to monitor the level by first pulling ropes between the supports.

Construction of a strip foundation

A strip foundation made of blocks will be more durable. It consists of tapes that will be located under the load-bearing elements. Expanded clay concrete blocks are best suited for work, as they are lighter than concrete ones. In addition, installing such products is quite easy. Their weight is only 30 kg.

The construction of a strip foundation is carried out according to the scheme described above, however, a filter pad made of crushed stone and sand is placed in a trench. For the bottom row, you should use pillow blocks, and you should start laying them from the corners and those places where the walls will intersect. After installing the corner blocks, you need to check the correctness of their location using a building level, only then can you proceed to laying, focusing on the rope stretched between the first blocks.

After completing the installation of the bottom row, a waterproofing layer should be laid to prevent moisture from penetrating into the material. If you are thinking about the question of how to make a foundation for a cabin with your own hands, then it is important to remember that with the help of metal pins you need to mark the places for the lighthouse wall elements of the second row. The bottom row is covered with cement mortar, only then can you proceed to installing blocks from the next row.

Base for a shed made of tires

As an alternative solution, you can use a tire foundation. At the first stage, the construction site is cleared of stones and debris, after which a pit is dug, taking into account the trench indentation of 20 cm on each side. It is better to go deeper by 30 cm, but the final value will depend on the source material for filling.

If you are thinking about the question of how to make a foundation for a shed out of tires, then it is important to follow the technology. At the next stage, it involves leveling and compacting the bottom of the trench. Next, you need to prepare the tires by placing one at a time on the bottom of the pit. They should be positioned end to end, parallel to the ground plane. The space inside the tires is filled with broken bricks, sand, earth and crushed stone. The space between the tires is filled according to the same principle. The fill layer must be positioned so that the tires are completely covered.

When laying out the foundation for a tire shed, you must prepare the foundation for pouring. The first step is to lay sheets of roofing material, which will act as waterproofing. Then you can proceed to For this, a board and timber are used. The formwork should be laid out in such a way as to create a monolithic slab of concrete that acts as the top of the foundation.

The structure is additionally reinforced; for this purpose, metal, channel or mesh is used. Filling is carried out with a regular solution, to which a plasticizer should be added. This will prevent the formation of cracks and chips. The poured solution is covered with a rag, which should be soaked in ammonia, this will save time on drying. Such a foundation for a change house is left for a week to gain strength and reliability. Then the formwork can be disassembled. When pouring, it is important to ensure that the surface of the future slab is horizontal. To check this parameter, you should use a building level.

Conclusion

The foundation acts as the basis of any structure. Build it from new building materials- this is not a cheap pleasure, so home craftsmen eventually began to look for budget solutions. The foundation for a change house can be built from tires. This approach is cost-effective and easy to implement. A special feature of this design is that the installation process does not require the specialist to have special skills and experience.

This technology is suitable not only for change houses, but also for bathhouses, gazebos, garages, sheds, and chicken coops. At the same time, you can solve two problems at once: build a strong and inexpensive foundation, and also recycle used tires.

The country house is the best solution, if the site is used for growing various plants. It allows you to completely abandon the construction of a house on the site, and at the same time promotes efficient and effective work.

The greatest advantage of a summer cottage is that this structure does not require a foundation underneath. At the same time, it is recommended to place the change house at the dacha not just on the ground, but on something else, which will avoid premature damage to the base of the change house. This article will discuss what to install a change house on at the dacha.

When considering the issue, you should know that if during the operation of the cabin it will need to be moved from one place to another, then it is recommended to use in this case exclusively wheeled versions of the cabin.

In all other cases, you can permanently install a change house using:

• Sleepers. In rare cases, cabins are placed on rails, logs and beams;
• On concrete blocks and specially laid stone piles;

However, before installing a change house in the country, using anything for these purposes, it is very important to choose the right place to install the change house.

How to choose a place in the country for a change house?

When choosing a place in your dacha to install a cabin, you should know that there are some standards. A change house installed in this way in a dacha must be located at least 5 meters from the dacha fence on the street side, and at least three meters from the neighbor’s fence.

All other nuances of choosing a place to install a change house in a dacha, as a rule, depend on the personal preferences of the dacha owner. Well, now let’s return to the question of what is the best place to install a change house in the country.

The above methods for installing a change house in a dacha are excellent for stationary structures that are not planned to be moved anywhere during operation.

If we consider installing a change house on sleepers, then the presence of a flat surface for installing a change house is therefore simply necessary. The ideal option is to pour a concrete platform for installing a change house in the country and only then lay out the sleepers under it.

In this option, both the sleepers for installing the cabin and the base of the structure itself will not be subject to destructive processes from moisture, which will have a positive effect on the durability of the cabin.

As for installing the cabin on blocks, a flat ground surface is not required. However this process installing a change house is the most expensive, since you will have to use either the services of special equipment to lift and transport the blocks, or manually pour them out of concrete.

Be that as it may, but to the question of what to put a change house on at the dacha follows, approaches wisely and prudently. It is better to choose several acceptable options for installing a change house in the country and only then settle on one specific method of installing a change house.

The change house is perfect for temporary living during the construction of a full-fledged house. But even after the completion of the main construction work, the change house will not remain out of use. It can be equipped as a budget country house, a place to store various equipment, work clothes, bicycles and other household supplies.

Ready-made cabins are relatively inexpensive. But why spend money if such a structure can be built on our own by purchasing only the necessary materials and tools? We present to your attention instructions for arranging a cabin made of wood, a finished trailer and a metal profile. Choose the option you like and get to work.

The change house is a secondary utility room, but you should not take the process of its construction and arrangement too lightly.

Select the dimensions of the structure and its layout at your discretion. Typically, designs industrial production, intended for living, have a length of about 5-6 m, a height of about 2.5 m and a similar width. Otherwise, regarding the dimensions of the house and its layout, be guided by your needs and preferences.

Choosing a place to build a shed

When choosing a location for our house, we take into account a couple of important points.

Firstly, we think about whether we will transport the structure somewhere in the future. For example, you are going to build a lightweight house for a couple of seasons, and then remove it to another place. If moving is part of your plans, it is best to place the change house as close as possible to the exit from the site.

Secondly, we decide on the purpose of the room. If the shed will be used only as a shed for storing various tools and other household supplies, it is best to install it approximately in the center of the long side of the main house so that it can be easily reached from any side of the site.

Helpful advice! If you do not rule out that in the future the shed will be converted into a building, build it in a remote, secluded corner of the site, keeping in mind the fire safety rules.

Making the base

We will have the same for all three cabins. The only exception would be a ready-made trailer on wheels - there is no need to build a foundation for it.

We make the basis as follows:

• we get rid of the top fertile layer of soil;
• compact the bottom and walls of the resulting pit;
• cover the hole with geotextiles;
• pour a layer of sand over the geotextile and compact it thoroughly;
• We place the cinder blocks symmetrically on the resulting pillow;
• We wrap each support with a layer of roofing felt.

Important! If you plan to attach a small porch to the shed, consider installing supports for it at the same stage.

We are building a wooden cabin

Let's start building the frame of our cabin. First, we lay a wooden beam around the perimeter of the future structure, as well as in its center to further strengthen the structure.

We connect the opposite sides of the beam. To do this, we fasten the logs to the beam of the lower trim. Any connection can be made in a suitable way. Connections using the tongue-and-groove method, using metal corners and anchors, have proven themselves well. We made preliminary selections to connect the elements and additionally strengthened the fastening points with nails.

We install vertical corner and intermediate posts. We install intermediate supports in meter increments. To do this, we use timber with a cross section of 15x15 mm. Don't forget to leave an opening for the door. To reliably connect frame elements, we use metal corners and self-tapping screws. At the same stage we install support pillars for the future porch, if its presence is provided for by the design of the change house.

Important! The height of the vertical supports on the rear and front sides of the cabin should differ by approximately 50 cm. Such a difference will ensure an optimal slope of the roof and precipitation will not linger on it.

We mount top harness. The support posts of our change house have different heights, so we work as follows: first we lay the timber on the tops of the higher supports, then we connect the low posts and install the side crossbars perpendicular to them. We make connections using the already familiar method with samples and nails.

Laying floor beams

As a result, our frame will be divided into a number of rectangular sections. To strengthen the structure, we connect the opposite bottom and top corner each such section with jibs made of boards.

We attach the rafter beams to the top roof sheathing. We use the boards that are as even as possible to make lathing easier in the future. We install the rafters in increments of about 500-600 mm. We pay special attention to the strength of connections on roof beams.

We construct it so that it protrudes slightly beyond the boundaries of the frame. This will allow us to arrange back side the cabins have a base for drainage, and install a canopy on the façade.

We choose the material for the finishing roofing at our discretion. For example, it will work well. We lay it with an overlap, starting from the bottom of the slope. Before laying ondulin, you should lay out a continuous sheathing of boards and attach a waterproofing film on top of them. Instead of ondulin, you can use slate or other material of your choice.

Change house from a construction trailer

Don’t want to bother with assembling the frame and other related activities? You can buy a ready-made trailer and equip it for a cabin. Such trailers do not even need their own foundation - you just need to carefully level the site and install the container (trailer).

If you equip a used trailer as a cabin, carefully examine its condition. Clean off traces of rust, replace heavily damaged cladding elements with similar ones, weld patches onto the through holes, coat the metal with a special primer and paint.

The installed structure must be insulated. The rest of the arrangement is at the discretion of the owner. These points will be discussed separately below.

You can also buy a trailer on wheels. The option is mobile and very easy to use. After completing all the measures for arranging such a trailer, it is installed on the frame of the trailer.

We build a shed from metal profiles

The construction of a frame made of metal profiles will require more effort compared to the construction of a wooden analogue. But the iron change house will last much longer.

The set of necessary tools includes:

• hammer;
• welding machine;
• drill;
• screwdrivers;
• corner;
• grinder;
• tassels;
• construction stapler;
• roulette;
• hacksaw

We also buy the following materials:

• profiled pipe measuring 2x2 cm, 4x2 cm, 4x4 cm and 4x6 cm;
• mounting rail 2x4 cm;
• galvanized sheet steel;
• corrugated sheeting;
• primer for metal;
• self-tapping screws for fastening corrugated sheets;
• screws for metal;
• staples for construction stapler;
• rivets;
• OSB boards;
• polyurethane foam.

Making the base

We will assemble the base of the frame from a pipe measuring 4x6 cm. We cut the pipes in accordance with the dimensions of the structure being built.

We weld the pipes according to their external dimensions and get a rectangular edging. In total we need to make 2 identical rectangles. We will make the floor from one, and the upper part of the cabin from the other.

To make the floor reliable, we create a grid inside the rectangle from the same profiled pipes. We are making a change house with a width of 250 cm. With such dimensions, it is enough to weld 2-3 longitudinal pipes along the entire length inside the edging. We weld cross pipes every 50 cm.

Next, we take a galvanized sheet and fix it with self-tapping screws to the base of our change house. We turn the base over and lay it with the galvanized sheet down on cinder block supports or simply a leveled area. The structure does not need to be attached to the cinder block - the cabin will be sufficiently supported by its own weight.

We mount the racks

Installation of racks

Installation of racks

We make vertical supports from a 4x4 cm pipe. We cut it into pieces in accordance with the planned height of the change house. Usually it is 250 cm.

We place the first supports in the corners of the foundation constructed at the previous stage. We check that the angle at the junction of the posts with the base is strictly straight.

We fix the leveled rack by welding. Similarly, we set up the racks in the remaining corners.

Additionally, we will need to install intermediate racks. To do this without disturbing the geometry of the structure, we take the second rectangular base from pipes made at the previous stage and lay it on the tops of the corner posts.

We scald the resulting “cube” with intermediate posts and spacers. First, we take pieces of corrugated pipe 4x4 cm along the height of the structure and weld them vertically between the lower and upper bases. The recommended installation step is 100 cm. At the same stage, we provide an opening for the door.

We weld the horizontal cross member around the support structure. The pipe must be welded to the vertical posts at a height equal to half the height of the change house.

We make the spacers from a 2x4 cm profiled pipe. We cut it into 30-centimeter pieces. We cut each edge of the workpiece at a 45-degree angle. We scald all the corners of the structure with the resulting spacers. Additionally, we can scald the floor with them.

We make the roof

We made the bottom part of the frame and the wall. Next we are engaged in the manufacture of the “skeleton” of the roof.

We make trusses in the form of isosceles triangles. We use a 2x4 cm pipe. The recommended installation step for the trusses is 1 m. We weld them along the length of the frame. We cover the roof with corrugated sheets. If you wish, you can use another material of your choice.

We cover all metal elements of the frame with a special primer, and after it dries, we apply paint of the desired color.

Arrangement of a change house

We install windows and doors (it is better to purchase them ready-made). It is advisable that the windows have a hinged design and there are at least two of them - you will not have to waste time installing additional ventilation. We are starting to further arrange our cabin.

Making the floor

First, we construct a subfloor from treated boards. We lay them out as tightly as possible to each other and attach them to the frame with self-tapping screws.

We spread it on top of the boards. We attach it to the joists using a construction stapler with staples.

We nail additional logs to the base for laying thermal insulation and attaching the second layer of boards. We fasten the logs in increments equal to the width of the selected thermal insulation material. Mineral wool, a relatively inexpensive and time-tested thermal insulation material, is well suited for floor insulation.

We lay insulation in the space between the joists. We fix a layer of vapor barrier material on top. A stapler with staples will help us with this again.

We lay the finished floor boards. We attach them to the joists using self-tapping screws. Finally, we varnish or paint the floor.

We carry out external cladding

The cabin trailer can be left without cladding, but a structure made of wood or metal will require mandatory exterior finishing. We won’t just leave the “bare” frame, will we?

We cover the frame with waterproofing film. Carefully seal the joints of the waterproofing strips with tape. Many different materials are suitable for external wall cladding:

• wooden boards;
• composite panels;
• siding, etc.

Choose at your own discretion. The cabins covered with a block house also look very nice.

Sheathing a metal shed with corrugated sheets

Important! The area of ​​the frame allocated for the porch is not sheathed.

Interior decoration

We place it in the space between the frame posts. We cover it with a layer of vapor barrier material. We attach the vapor barrier to the frame using a suitable method.

We fill transverse slats on top of the frame to secure the insulation. We attach the selected internal lining material to the same slats. Most often, lining is used for interior decoration. For the rest, focus on your preferences and available budget.

Electricity

We will not install full-fledged wiring into the change house. Such buildings are not permanent and do not require such equipment. But how, in this case, can at least organize lighting and heating? A good extension cord with a cord of suitable length will help us with this. We turn it on to the nearest available source of electricity and pull it into the change house.

In a change house, we can include a tee in such an extension cord for greater convenience and the ability to use several electrical appliances at once.

Lighting

We arrange it at our discretion. In general, a few simple lamps installed in the main functional areas will be enough for a change house.

Water supply

For maximum ease of use of the cabin, we run water into it. We will not build a major expensive water supply system. It is enough to connect a flexible hose to a water supply source, insert it into the household through a pre-prepared hole in the wall and equip it with a tap to shut off the water.

We can install a compact one near the hose attachment point. Special bulk models are available on the market. It is enough to remove the top cover from such a tank, fill the container with water from a hose, plug the heating unit into an outlet, and after shortest time use warm water at your discretion. If desired, a hose with a shower head can be easily connected to such a water heater.

A compact sink wouldn’t be out of place in your household. We attach it to the wall in a convenient place. We connect a corrugated pipe to the sink drain to drain water. We remove the corrugation through a pre-arranged hole in the floor and connect it to the sewer pipe. Water will flow through the sewer pipe into drain hole or another place designated for this purpose.

Heating

The heating is done electrically. Budget option - a pair. More expensive and efficient - oil heater or convector. We select the power of the heating unit in accordance with the area of ​​our shed.

At the end, all we have to do is furnish the room. At this point, we focus entirely on our preferences and needs.

Parameter		Metal shed
Price	Cheaper. To further reduce the cost, natural wood can be replaced with wood boards.	Expensive. Metal has a higher cost.
Durability	Lasts less than metal ones. Wood does not tolerate moisture well.	Lasts for decades.
