we Attach a verandah

The availability of a verandah does a country house is more spacious and it is in many respects more attractive. A verandah a premise summer and consequently does not require warming. Structurally it is simple enough and can be constructed without special complexities the hands.
At a structure of the frame house availability of a verandah is better to consider in advance that its skeleton made a unit with a house skeleton. But even in that case when the house is constructed without a verandah, its extension does not become an unoluble problem.
Verandah possess along main or face facades of the house so that there was a door through which it would be possible to get on it from the basic premises. If near a door of already ready house to which attach a verandah, there are steps, a peak and to that similar details, they are necessary for dismantling. As a rule, the length of a verandah makes from three to six metres, and width about two and a half metres.
Over a source ladder on a verandah it is desirable to arrange a peak. The space near a ladder can be issued in the form of a covered porch.
Verandah skeleton opirayut on easy stolbchatyiy the base from a brick. Base columns are necessary for mortgaging under each of angular racks of a skeleton, and at significant length of a verandah and under one or two intermediate.
After a careful marking in places of the future arrangement of base columns dig out holes depth about 1 m. At the bottom of holes arrange a pillow from sand (20 sm). If a ground sandy, on a bottom of base holes at once fill a gravel or rubble layer (10 sm), which gidroizoliruyut, spilling hot bitumen. Then execute the concrete basis (15 sm), supplying strict horizontal position of its top sawn-off shotgun. After concrete hardening on the received basis you-kladyvajut a brick base column, removing it on a necessary mark (fig. 1). The column height should be such that the verandah floor placed approximately on 30 sm below level of a floor of the house. In this case the verandah roof will enter under sves house roofs, and the extension height will appear same, as well as in the house.
Ready base columns cover with bitumen and then execute return zasyipku. A cavity in the middle of a column mortgage a beaten brick, gravel or a similar filler.
Between stolbchatyimi support arrange zabirku from a brick, a tree or plitnyih materials. Thus it is necessary to aspire to that its outside surface was homogeneous under the invoice.
For a skeleton structure use bars section 100h100, 120h80 mm or logs in diameter to 120 mm. On base columns stack bottom obvyazku. Connections in corners make in a half-tree the direct lock. Bottom obvyazku execute double, cutting in it logs on which the floor subsequently is laid. On thorns in the size 50h50h50 mm cut racks in it and fasten their nails, in addition strengthening each connecting knot two skobami.
Economical enough from the point of view of a consumption of materials the skeleton design can be received, if instead of integral bars to use the racks which have been hammered together from two boards by section 40h120 mm and linings of the same size (fig. 2). In this case at connection of elements it is necessary to displace in appropriate way of a board and linings. Various variants of such racks are shown in drawing 3.
On racks establish top obvyazku and rafters (also on thorns and nails). The top ends of rafters connect to the horizontal beam (run) passing under a slope of a roof at home and also connected with racks of a skeleton. Run and the racks adjoining to a wall at home, strap with the help ankernyih bolts. It is necessary to give special attention to installation of beams against which rafters lean. They should be strongly attached to a wall and be under svesom house roofs on such distance that the verandah roof was closely joined to a house roof.
Verandah roof usually do odnoskatnoy and more flat, rather than a house roof. The best for a verandah roof is the same material that has been used for a house roof, however to probably tonic-nenie and other easy materials — rolled, steel, asbestotsementnyih, etc.
Roof lay on obreshetke, executed of not edging boards laid horizontally, closely or with some intervals depending on a material used for manufacturing of a roof.
From rolled materials (roofing material, roofing felt, etc.) it is desirable to arrange a roof on a continuous wooden flooring from edging boards. The flooring fastens to rafters the nails which hats follows utaplivat in a body of boards. A rolled material display on a flooring, carefully level and take along the edges nails. Then beat reyki, fixing the laid material. From above reyki close strips of a rolled material (caps), nailing their special tolevyimi nails. On the bottom sawn-off shotgun of a roof a roof on 10 sm bend under obreshetku and krepyat the same nails.
Under a steel roof it is possible to arrange both continuous, and rarefied obreshetku. Sheets of a roofing steel connect with one another faltsevyimi seams and krepyat to obreshetke nails.
Wavy asbestotsementnyie sheets stack so that they were gushed over on one wave, and each overlying sheet blocked nizhelezha-shchy on 12-14 of 70-90 mm under which previously in crests of waves bore through apertures in diameter on 2-3 mm of more diameter of a screw (nail) see Krepyat their special screws (nails) the in length.
Verandah floor lay board unary, boards stack on logs, vrezannyie between the first and second wreaths, bottom obvyazki. Logs and sexual boards it is necessary antiseptirovat and to coat for outside works. The top step of a porch can become continuation of a floor of a verandah.
Podokonnuyu the board on a verandah usually is established at height by of 45-60 sm from a floor, that is more low, than window sills in rooms. Space between podokonnoy a board and bottom obvyazkoy sew up vagonkoy “in shpunt” or “in a fur-tree” or close wooden boards. A covering of a verandah you-polnjajut only from lateral aspect as in warming of walls there is no necessity. Between podokonnoy a board and top obvyazkoy establish window frames. Between a door and the next racks it is possible to sew up space tightly or to establish there narrow window covers.
The sizes of windows of a verandah, availability of wide and narrow frames largely influences appearance of construction, and also causes possibility of the organisation of internal space of a verandah. Accurate drawing of window covers, alternation horizontal and vertical impostov give a various thickness ease and grace to the glass screen which divides internal and external space not so much, how many connects them, letting in an external world in a house interior.
On a verandah it is desirable to alternate the windows consisting of opening and deaf shutters, and here enough unary window frames, as a verandah this summer, not heated premise.
Installation of window blocks is made as follows. The prepared window block insert into an aperture and fix a box in aperture corners wooden wedges. Then krepyat nails, thus each vertical brusok it is necessary to fix a box in several places. Backlashes between a box and a wall caulk: fill in on 3/4 depths with a dry tow and on 1/4 depths from a premise — a tow moistened in a plaster solution. Zakonopachennyie backlashes between a wall and window boxes close wooden platbands.
Recently the big popularity was acquired by a sliding design of walls of a verandah. The sliding wall is convenient in many respects. Having removed it, you can easily transform a verandah into an open summer premise — a terrace, and rainy day the closed wall will reliably fence off you from a bad weather.
Sections of such wall are connected by means of metal loops. Each section consists of the top part of the glazed transom and the bottom wooden panel. When a wall open, sections skladyva-jutsja in an accordion. In the closed kind each of them fastens to a horizontal pipe metal hooks or is kept special skobami, moving to the left and to the right on the horizontal directing.
The source door can be arranged from any party of a verandah — be guided by convenience reasons. On a verandah it will be good to be looked partially glazed door. Among variety of various designs of doors choose the most suitable.
As it was already spoken, the source door and a ladder is recommended to be placed under the general roof of a verandah or under a separate canopy. The top, expanded step of a ladder is desirable for placing at the same level, as a verandah floor. We already wrote about various designs of ladders, we will result here only one, enough a simple variant.
Elements of a direct wooden ladder fasten to two possessed naklonno to lateral boards (bowstrings). The board serving by the bottom step, takes places - on the earth. Its end faces closely adjoin to bowstrings and fasten to them nails. Further establish the inserts cut out on a template and repeating a contour of a lateral board, limited to two steps. They also fasten to bowstrings. Between them the central basic board podstupenok, keeping vyisheraspolozhennuyu prostup places.
When the verandah is constructed, it is necessary to think of its furniture. It is not so simple problem as the verandah volume is rather insignificant. For-nimajut windows, therefore high furniture cases, regiments it is necessary to place the large part of walls of a verandah about a blank wall. To save the useful it is simple ranstvo verandahs you can, using collapsible, folding and multipurpose pieces of furniture. For example, the table-top of a collapsible little table attached by loops to podokonnoy to a board, in case of need falls downwards. Wide podokonnaya the board and itself can execute little table function. As seats it is possible to use collapsible chairs or an ottoman placed about a blank wall on which you can have a rest or grant it for a lodging for the night to the visitor in tep-luju night.
As a rule, the verandah is a premise in which it is a lot of light. It is sometimes pleasant, but time of hit of direct solar beams it would be desirable to avoid. In this case apply sun-protection systems — jalousie, curtains, "straws", etc. "Straws" krepyat over a window and when they are not used, them turn off in a tubule. Curtains can be made sliding, pove-siv them on the rings sliding on a metal tube.
In the summer frequently it is more pleasant to be on a verandah, than indoors. Therefore do not regret forces, time, construction materials and imagination make the house cosy and beautiful.
