Having taken possession of a summer cottage, almost everyone dreams of building big house or even an estate. But if you own only a few acres, then it would be best to build a small one with your own hands. garden house.
Such construction will not require large investments, but after its completion you will have a wonderful building that can be equipped for temporary residence, storage of tools and for other purposes.
Garden house design
Even such "small-sized" construction should begin with the preparation of a set of project documentation. In the project of a garden house must be present:
- Floor plans showing overall dimensions each room
- structural nodes at the junction of walls, floor and ceiling
- Drawings of the roof and floor supports
- Vertical section of the building with the main marks (the bottom of the foundation, the height of the ceiling and the finished floor)
- Schemes of communication networks - electrical, water, sewer and gas, indicating points of connection to the mains
The drawings are made to scale with the obligatory observance of proportions. Linear dimensions it is better to indicate in millimeters. An explanatory note should be attached to the project for the construction of a garden house with your own hands, describing the solutions developed, indicating the building materials used and their quantity.
Space planning
When choosing a place for a garden house, it must be borne in mind that lowlands where water accumulates are not suitable for this. The best option there will be the highest point on the site in its northern or northwestern part at least three meters from the boundary.
The most convenient as garden houses are considered one-story buildings with an attic, which can be used to store household items and inventory. If you also complete the terrace, then you can equip a real dining room in it.
Choosing to build a two-story house, the second floor is best built in the attic. On the ground floor, it is customary to equip a kitchen with huge windows and a room with a staircase.
Having a basement is not the best solution for a garden house. It will contribute to the freezing of the room in winter time which will adversely affect thermal performance. In addition, the basement is often flooded with spring water.
Building materials and tools
A small garden house with your own hands can be built from bricks, foam concrete or aerated concrete blocks and other materials.
But the main building material for load-bearing structures is pine timber square section 100x100 mm with one planed side, forming the outer surface of the building. On the edges of the timber, chamfers must be removed.
For all other elements of the house (ceiling, floor, beams, rafters, doors and windows), you can use pine lumber.
All materials need mandatory pre-drying, while their moisture level must be the same so that there is no shrinkage and deformation of the house during uneven drying of wooden elements.
Also for construction you will need:
- Thermal insulation materials and improvised heaters
- Asbestos-cement boards
- Wood preservative
- Ruberoid
- Nails
- Mounting foam
- Plaster
- Dye
- Floor slats
- Decoration Materials
You can build a garden house with your own hands only using timber, slats, boards, doors and windows.
To work, you need the following tools:
- cordless drill
- Hand Circular and Miter Saw
- A hammer
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Marking cord
- flat brush
- adhesive tape
The technology of building a garden house
To simplify with your own hands, you should use the principle of modular design, which consists of the following steps:
- Foundation laying
- Construction of wall elements
- Creation truss system
- Roofing
- Installation of windows and doors
The facade of the house can be supplemented with a canopy, which is useful for shelter from rain or the scorching sun.
Foundation laying
The foundation is laid below the depth of freezing of the soil, taking into account the level of location ground water.
Under a heavy garden house (made of concrete, stone or brick), a strip foundation is required around the entire perimeter, a columnar one is more suitable for a wooden one. It is also recommended to equip it in regions with a large freezing depth.
Suitable as foundation material a natural stone, concrete and rubble concrete. Below the waterproofing layer, it is recommended to use concrete, clay bricks and cement mortar.
In the basement, it is necessary to equip waterproofing at a height of 0.2-0.5 m from the ground. If the soil is dry, it is enough to make a cement-sand screed of 2-3 cm, if it is wet, then the roofing material should be laid on the screed in two layers. You can also stick it on a dry screed using hot mastic.
If the house has a basement, you need to create a waterproofing belt in both the basement and the foundation. The basement waterproofing must be located below the floor beams. To ventilate the subfloor, small holes are made in the basement and covered with a protective mesh.
Around the basement, a blind area is made with a width of at least 0.7 m, which should have a slight slope from the walls of the house and protrude beyond the overhang of the eaves. To create it, the top layer of soil with vegetation is removed, clay with gravel or crushed stone embedded in it is trampled along this strip, and then covered with concrete or fine-grained asphalt.
Walling
The basis of the walls is a draft beam, laid along the perimeter of the foundation in one row and fastened with nails. Waterproofing strips of roofing material are placed under it.
To create the frame of the house, 4 pillars are dug in at the corners, Bottom part which is pre-wrapped with roofing felt.
From below, they are attached to a draft beam, from above - to temporary stretch marks, which are pre-set vertically along a plumb line. Frame elements are fastened with long nails.
After creating a rigid frame, its internal and exterior finish. Between the edges of the corners, pieces of timber are laid in advance, laid out in layers linen tow, which are fastened together with 150 mm nails. At the same time, the verticality of the walls is constantly checked by a plumb line.
In the course of work, door and window frames are installed.
Floor and floors
To create a floor, beams are first laid, a draft floor is laid on top of edged planed boards, and then a finishing floor is made of laths.
On this floor, a clay screed is made, covered with insulation and another layer of roofing material. After that, a two-centimeter cement-sand screed is performed.
An antiseptic impregnation of the corresponding color is suitable as a coating.
The ceiling beams on the first floor form the framework for the second floor. These coatings are made from planed edged boards, and the space between them is filled with large sawdust. The ceiling is sheathed with clapboard along with the walls, and the floor of the second floor is covered with a rail. Similarly, attic floors are performed. At the same time, their beams will rest with their ends on the bearing walls.
Roof installation
The roof of a garden house built by one's own hands should be single or double sloped. It consists of a roof (covering) and rafters on which a crate or flooring is placed.
The easiest way is to build inclined rafters. In such a system, the rafter legs are cut into the upper trim of the wall or into the Mauerlat laid along the perimeter of the top of the wall. A crate of boards is attached to the rafters, nailing them in a run-up or end-to-end parallel to the ridge.
The roof is most rationally made of wavy slate. When laying, the edges of the sheets should overlap by one wave, and in a vertical position - by 10-15 cm on top of each other. Each side is fixed with nails or screws. If the slope of the roof is small, then roofing material is overlapped under the asbestos-cement sheets parallel to the ridge. The fractures of the roof and the ridge are covered with special shaped parts.
In addition, you can carry out roofing and other roofing material. For example, soft sheet tiles "". It is an alloy of rubber and plastic. In most characteristics, it surpasses materials of a similar type that are commercially available.
Or metal tiles. It does not heavily load the truss structure, as it has a weight of 4.5 kilograms per square meter. It is mounted on roofs of any type with a slope of slopes from 14 degrees (the ideal slope is 20-25 degrees). Used in all regions of the country, including the northernmost. The process of installing a metal tile with your own hands is considered in detail.
Or, cover the roof with shingles. This material has unique operational characteristics and is used for roofing in all regions. the technology of installation of flexible tiles is considered in detail.
The final stage
After construction is completed, it is necessary to install door and window blocks, and then make and attach architectural details - door frames, frontal boards of cornices and gables, porch pillars, etc.
It should be borne in mind that for the manufacture of these elements it is impossible to use the material that remained after construction. Only selected high quality wood is needed.
At the end of construction, you can proceed to the design of the garden house with your own hands, both internal and external.

They acquire dachas in different ways - they inherit them, buy plots with a house and remake or complete them for themselves, or buy land almost in open field and begin the development of virgin land. Just such a process puzzled one of our craftsmen, who decided to join the suburban life. And since the most effective way to save money is to do it yourself, which is exactly what he did, starting small - with a summer house in the country "for the first time."

Country house 6×6 with a built-in terrace 4×3
Gonzik1
Last year I bought a plot in the field (like a new holiday village). The poles were installed, electricity was brought to the site (it took about two months to complete the paperwork), they put a shield on the pole with a meter, an automatic machine and a socket. This year, having saved up some money, he began construction. I decided to do everything with my own hands, because it's cheaper and more reliable.
Do-it-yourself country house project
Project dacha construction the craftsman created during the winter with his own hands, according to his idea - this is the first module, to which he will later attach another one, combining both parts into a single structure. Using a special program, I made a drawing that allowed me to accurately calculate required amount building materials.
Foundation
Since the house is light, frame technology and one floor Gonzik1 gave preference to a columnar foundation of special concrete blocks (20 × 20 × 40 cm). Also, his choice was influenced by the low groundwater level (GWL) in the country and the excellent condition of such foundations under neighboring buildings. Depending on the level, I used one or two blocks per pole - I removed the fertile layer, poured a sand cushion, laid the blocks. The plane was held with the help of a hydraulic level. According to the craftsman, he appreciated this the simplest tool– and cheap, and the measurement accuracy is excellent. The pillars were covered with roofing material for waterproofing. With the help of relatives, the foundation was ready in three days.
Water supply
There is nowhere to take the central water supply in the field, so the problem of water supply is a personal matter for every summer resident. Our craftsman originally planned to drill a well. Trial drilling at thirty-six meters was unsuccessful - instead of water, dense black clay went. The drillers reported that only an artesian well of about ninety meters would help, voiced a sky-high price. Gonzik1 I got upset, imagining the scale of the problem, and decided to dig a well, as the foreseeable future showed - the right decision. Three days of work, ten rings - a column of water for one and a half rings, is restored in an hour and a half.
Box
The strapping is two-layered - at the bottom there is a board 100 × 50 mm, on top - 100 × 40 mm, impregnated with fire and biological protection, the strapping elements were connected to each other with nails (100 and 120 mm). The strapping was laid on top of the roofing material and fixed to the posts with anchors.
All frame posts were also assembled from a 100 × 40 mm board on nails, the walls were raised right in place using temporary jibs. On the ground they collected only a skate, after raising it to the roof. This stage took another four days.
Next, they mounted rafters, wind boards, pulled the wind protection, over the counter-lattice and crate. As a roofing, our craftsman chose metal tiles.
Gonzik1
I read that no matter which side the sheets are laid on, they are more often laid from left to right. It turned out that no, the tile is laid from right to left, otherwise the next sheet will have to be wound under the previous one, which is extremely inconvenient, especially when installing alone. The weather was not very good, it was drizzling, there was wind, he moved along the roof like a cat, trying to cling to the crate with his feet. All twelve sheets of tiles (115x350 cm) were laid in half a day.
After the tiles, hands reached the ground, because of which the floor logs were not fully laid. Gonzik1 used a corner 50x50x4 mm, a connection from a metal strip 40x4 mm, plus a piece of self-supporting insulated wire(SIP).
Next, we covered the entire structure with a protective membrane, installed a door, laid a floorboard on the terrace, and proceeded to sheathing the facade with imitation timber. Cashing was immediately treated with protective impregnation. In the process of work, the craftsman made adjustments to the project - he made a third window, so there will be more light, and the view from the window is attractive.
Internal work
With the end of the holidays, the construction process slowed down as much as possible, since free weekends did not fall every week, but continued. I finished with the floor - rough on OSB logs, on top of a windproof membrane, between the logs of stone wool slabs, crate, and OSB again on it. The finish is linoleum. Also, the house got another window.
He brought electricity into the house, insulated the perimeter with stone wool, on top of a vapor barrier and lining as a cladding.
The finishing process continued according to the same algorithm, contrasting platbands on window openings added decoration to the house. All internal walls will be sewn up with clapboard.
Gonzik1
There are no plans for a stove, a house for seasonal residence - spring, summer, autumn. I plan to hang electric convectors, I have no problems with electricity there, three phases, a new substation, 15 kW per site.
For all those interested, the craftsman posted the calculation of materials (the entire used board is 6 meters long):
- foundation blocks 200×200×400 mm, 30 pieces;
- board 50x100 mm, 8 pieces (for the bottom layer of the strapping);
- board 40 × 100 mm, 96 pieces - about 8 pieces left;
- board 25 × 10 mm, 128 pieces - about 12 pieces left;
- timber 100 × 100 mm, 3 pieces;
- rail 25×50 mm, 15 pieces;
- timber imitation 18.5 × 146, 100 pieces - about 15 pieces left;
- insulation, stone wool 1200×600×100 mm, 28 packs (6 boards each) – one pack left;
- windproof membrane 1.6 m wide, 60 m² per roll, 3 rolls;
- vapor barrier 1.6 m wide, 60 m² per roll, 3 rolls - approx. 0.5 roll remaining;
- OSB 3 2500 × 1200 × 9 mm, 15 pieces (rough and finishing floor) - about 1.5 slabs remain;
- metal tile 350 × 115 cm, 12 sheets;
- lining 12.5 × 96 cm, 370 pieces (10 packs) - not the fact that enough, partially used for filing the toilet, and the walls are not finished yet;
- wooden windows 1000×1000 mm, 3 pieces;
- input steel door 2050×900 mm, 1 piece;
- protective impregnation for wood, 10 liters - the rest is 3 liters, but the house is covered with only one layer.
Taking into account self construction and finishing estimates turned out to be quite budgetary.
Gonzik1
- Foundation - 2500 rubles.
- Boards on the frame, wind protection, vapor barrier, timber imitation (exterior finish), lining ( interior decoration), insulation, etc. - 110,000 rubles.
- Metal tile - 20,000 rubles.
- Door - 13,200 rubles.
- Windows - 4,200 rubles x 3 = 12,600 rubles.
- Forwarding SIP to the house - 3000 rubles (with the cable itself).
- Impregnation - 3600 rubles.
The electrician is still just going to breed around the house, I think I’ll fit in 8-10 thousand. I don’t quote the cost of nails, screws, staples for a stapler, etc., because I don’t remember how much I bought. Total: about 165,000 rubles.
For another short but fruitful vacation, I finished with the electrics, finished the interior lining with clapboard and painting, made a set for the kitchen, completed the terrace. I laid a 100 × 40 mm board on the terrace, took an unplaned one, processed it with an electric planer, then covered it with impregnation in two layers. Over the past winter, everything is in place, nothing has led, it has not dried up and is not warped. The craftsman plans to finish building the second block, but this test of the pen is up to the mark - an excellent cottage for a family vacation.
The dream of many citizens is a beautiful little house outside the city, where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, hide from the heat, feel the pleasant freshness of the earth under your feet instead of hot asphalt. But just not for everyone these dreams get a real embodiment, it seems that country house- it is difficult, and expensive, and long. In fact, building a country house with your own hands is quite simple.
We plan space
Choosing a place for a future country house is not the time for hasty decisions, because there are not so many places. Thoughtful competent planning help to use every piece of land as efficiently as possible. Even though this is your land, you will have to fulfill a number of requirements, maintaining a minimum distance:
- from the street - 5 m
- from the road - 3 m
- from the neighboring site - 3 m
We do not consider the option with a lowland - water will accumulate there. Optimally - the highest place on the site in its northern (north-western) part.
Projects of small country houses
Considering typical projects of country houses, it is easy to see that the undisputed favorite is a one-story building with an attic. This is a tried and tested option. country house, while you can abandon the hozblok, because inventory and household supplies can be stored in the attic.
A terrace can be attached to the house - in summer it can be used as a dining room. Two-storey country houses often obtained without actually erecting a “clean” second floor, instead of it attic. Then on the first floor you can plan the kitchen and living room, and the second floor - under the personal space (bedrooms) of the owners.
Advice! You can save a lot on the heating system - even at the most modest prices for the installation of a classic (boiler, pipes and radiators) accounts for 15-20% of the total budget. If you are building a small country house with your own hands, where you intend to live only in the "season" (late spring - early autumn), then you can use electric or infrared heaters to heat it in bad weather.
Prefabricated country houses are becoming very popular - unpretentious, outwardly monotonous parallelepipeds with roof changed interesting in architectural plan buildings, with an improved layout, one / two floors.
You buy a kind of building kit, such a country house is easy to build, having only basic knowledge about construction. The main thing is that it already provides for all systems - electrical wiring, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing. This will help to avoid many mistakes that beginners make when they decide to build a country house with their own hands.
A collapsible country house is designed for a long vacation with family or friends, it is larger in area, it can be one or two floors, with an improved layout. Such a house is equipped with a technical room, a kitchen, rest rooms and a bathroom, equipped with a heating, ventilation, air conditioning system, supplied with electricity.
The house can be installed water heater, sink, countertop, hanging shelves, shower cabin necessary plumbing. After installing such a country house, no additional repair work, it is completely ready for operation.
Laying the foundation
The choice of the type of foundation is directly related to the choice of material from which the house will be built, as well as the number of storeys. Light houses (from rounded wood, beam, frame houses and modular) can be erected on a columnar or screw foundation, heavy (brick, aerated concrete, stone, concrete blocks) and two-story houses will require the laying of a strip foundation (as an option - prefabricated, from reinforced concrete blocks) around the entire perimeter and under bearing walls at home.
It is important to know the depth of soil freezing - the foundation must be laid below this level, taking into account the level at which groundwater occurs.
In the basement, it is required to equip waterproofing at a level of 0.2-0.5 m from the ground. If the soil is dry enough (sand), a cement-sand screed 2-4 cm thick can be made as a screed. For wet soil, roofing material will need to be laid on top of such a screed - in two layers. Alternatively, roofing material can be glued onto a dry screed using hot mastic. Waterproofing is arranged below the expected level of laying beams for the floor.
Advice! In the basement, to ensure ventilation of the subfloor, small holes are made, which are covered with a protective mesh.
A blind area is created around the basement, its width is at least 70 cm (it should protrude further than the overhang of the eaves), which has a slight slope directed from the walls of the house. To do this, the top layer of the earth is removed, clay (sand) is poured, on top of it - a layer of gravel (gravel, broken brick) and poured with concrete (rolled up with asphalt).
Floor and walls
Flooring begins with laying the log. To insulate the floor between the lags, a heater is laid, on top of which a vapor barrier is laid out. It is attached to the lags with a stapler, the joints are glued with adhesive tape. Then the subfloor is laid, for which they use unedged, most cheap board, having previously treated it with a remedy for dampness and decay. And then they spread the finishing floor. AT two-story house serve as a frame for the floor on the second floor ceiling beams first.
What can you build a residential house in the country? How and how to insulate a garden house with your own hands? What should be the foundation? The purpose of this article is to introduce the reader to several popular solutions and their key features.
Foundation
On what foundation can a small summer or year-round house be erected?
Design
- ideal for dense, non-rocky soils with a minimum building weight ( frame houses, sip panels). It is a column of red brick or concrete blocks on a sand bed, connected with a grillage of timber with a section of 100x100 and above.
By the way: the cheapest type of columnar foundation is old car tires filled with concrete.
- For heavier or sensitive to minor deformation materials (brick, foam blocks, aerated concrete), tape is preferable monolithic foundation . It is poured into a trench dug to a depth of 30-50 cm with a backfill of compacted sand or gravel. The height of the above-ground part is 25 - 40 cm; reinforcement - two-layer, spaced from the lower and upper surfaces of the foundation by at least 3 centimeters.
- Finally, for plastic clays and wetlands, the best solution is a screw foundation.. Screw piles are screwed to a depth of 1.5 - 3 meters and transfer the weight of the structure to the underlying, denser soil layers. Their heads are connected with a grillage made of timber, channel, I-beam or profile pipe.
Waterproofing
The surface of the pillars and the strip foundation, before fixing the grillage or the bottom trim, is waterproofed with a pair of layers of roofing material. It prevents capillary suction of groundwater and dampening of the wall material.
By the way: for a wooden grillage or bottom trim wooden walls it is better to use not spruce or pine, but rotting-resistant larch.
The price per cubic meter of larch timber is only 25-30% higher than that of pine.
Surface screw piles and steel grillage is protected from corrosion bituminous mastic applied in two layers.
Walls
Let's find out what walls are most often built from.
Shell rock, limestone
From these materials, a house for a garden with their own hands is often built by residents of the southern regions of the country, where open-pit mining is carried out. sedimentary rocks. A one-story building can be safely built with a thickness of half a stone (about 20 cm), followed by insulation or plastering of the walls.
An important point: a large-pore shell with such a thickness of the masonry will be blown through.
For winter operation of the building, it will have to be at least plastered on both sides.
For masonry, ordinary cement-sand mortar in a ratio of 1:3; rows are placed with dressing of vertical seams and level control. First row by strip foundation laid out on a 2-centimeter concrete pad.
Aerated concrete, foam blocks
A small garden house made of foam blocks with your own hands can be built without an armored frame and even an armored belt; the strength of the masonry is ensured only by the rigidity of the foundation and the dressing of the rows. For masonry, aerated concrete glue is used; seam thickness - no more than 3-4 millimeters. This ensures minimal heat loss through the seams and ideal wall geometry.
Brick
Do-it-yourself thin-walled brick garden house - worst decision three parameters at once:
- Costs square meter masonry. Brick is noticeably more expensive than foam blocks or shell rock.
- Wall building speed. Large blocks are placed much faster.
- Degrees of insulation. In order not to be unfounded, let's compare brickwork with alternatives. In the table we present the wall thickness values for different materials providing the same degree of thermal insulation.
However, brick is popular due to its strength and presentable appearance. appearance walls built from it.
The wall material is brick.
In our case, it is better to use porous construction material: its lower mechanical strength with a small wall height does not crucial, but the lower cost and better thermal insulation qualities will be in place.
frame structure
It is a frame made of timber and boards, sheathed with OSB boards on one or both sides. If necessary, the cavities inside the wall are filled with insulation with vapor and waterproofing.
In most cases, a partial reconstruction of a garden house or an attic superstructure is carried out using frame technology: a frame made of timber is easily combined with any other building materials.
Sip panels
They provide the maximum degree of insulation and the highest speed of construction. The panels, which are a sandwich of two sheets of OSB and a layer of expanded polystyrene, are connected by an insert from a bar. OSB is hemmed to the beam with self-tapping screws; before assembly, the seams are foamed.
In addition to low thermal conductivity, sip panels are interesting for their high rigidity with low weight. For example, a do-it-yourself garden hut can be built without a frame and a rafter system: panels and insert bars will provide sufficient strength.
Nuance: the dimensions of the panels are tied to the standard dimensions of the OSB sheet (1.2 x 2.5-2.8 m).
In turn, the size of the house to minimize the amount of waste is better to make a multiple of the size of the panel.
If so, you can’t build a 3x4 garden house with your own hands; its dimensions will be either 2.4 x 3.6 or 3.6 x 4.8 m.
Warming
How can a garden house be insulated with your own hands?
Styrofoam coat
- Styrofoam with a density of C-25 and above is used for outer cladding walls. It is attached with cement glue; glue beacons compensate for uneven walls. For additional fixation of the plates, plastic dowel-umbrellas are used.
- The same cement glue is applied to the surface of the foam with a wide spatula; reinforcement is pressed into it - a fiberglass mesh with a mesh of 2x2 mm and a density of 160 g / m2. The mesh is glued with an overlap of strips of 50-100 mm.
- The fiberglass mesh is covered with a layer of glue in such a way as to hide its texture.
Further finishing is at the discretion of the owner; usually the walls are painted with facade paint or finished with decorative plaster.
Hint: glued boards can be used instead of foam mineral wool. It is safer in terms of the possibility of fire, but is much more expensive.
Intra-wall insulation
Instructions for warming frame buildings even easier:
- The frame sheathed on the outside is laid with a waterproofing film.
- Mineral wool insulation boards are inserted inside the frame.
- They are covered with a vapor barrier.
- From the inside, the frame is sewn up with OSB boards or two layers of drywall.
Ventfasad
Where the vapor permeability of the walls is important, the facade is made ventilated:
- The walls are covered with a crate (bar or galvanized profile).
- Mineral wool slabs are installed under the crate or between its elements, with additional fixation with dowel-umbrellas.
- closed with a windproof membrane.
- The facade is sewn up with siding along the crate.
Conclusion
Of course, we have described only a small part of the list of possible solutions. As always, in the video in this article, the reader can find Additional information. Successes in construction!
These days, most people in warm time year wants to live in nature. Breathing clean air, temporarily getting rid of the atmosphere of a noisy smoky metropolis and constant stress is the dream of many citizens. Some have been collecting the necessary amount for construction for years. capital house in the country. But in order to move to nature, it is not at all necessary to wait until you have the right amount of money. A garden house can turn out to be a comfortable temporary housing, it will not take much time to build it, it will cost inexpensively and it will be very pleasant to live in it in the summer. It is realistic to build a garden house with your own hands, you need to choose the right project, material, and decide on the price.
A budget version of a garden house can be built from timber or using Finnish frame-panel technology. These are buildings of the same type, only during construction log house it is sheathed with timber (profiled or simple), and frame house sheathed with chipboard, plywood or fiberboard.
Garden houses according to Finnish technology - good decision for suburban area. For a lightweight structure, a massive foundation is not required; the frame is quickly sheathed with a finishing material.
It takes less time to build such a house than a log house, because. large sheets of plywood, which are used for sheathing, are attached to the frame much faster than beams. Such a house can be built even in a week, and it will look presentable, especially if you use a lining made of wood for cladding.
Beautiful garden house made of plywood - decorative trim chimney, brightly painted walls, an openwork porch and a roof made of shingles. A house can look aesthetically pleasing without wood paneling.
Construction stages:
- Installation of foundation supports.
- Erection of the frame: work on the upper and lower skin, erection of vertical supports and rafters. For the installation of doors and windows, contours are formed using additional bars.
- To create a draft version of the floor, thick boards are used - 20 cm thick or more.
- The outer skin of the frame is plywood, self-tapping screws are used for fastening. For interior cladding, drywall, plywood, fiberboard or chipboard are used. Nights in spring and even summer are sometimes quite cool, so it is advisable to warm the house. To do this, a layer of mineral-cotton insulation can be laid between the layers of the skin.
- Clean floor installation batten or linoleum.
- Sheathing with plywood rafters. The plywood is then covered with a layer of drying oil and ruberoid.
In order for your house to be beautiful, it needs exterior cladding made of solid material. For example, siding or wooden lining. Windows in a country house can be installed both plastic and wooden, this is a matter of taste. But plastic is easier to maintain, and such windows will last longer.
You can also build a garden house with your own hands from a bar. This is the most commonly used material for country houses. The beam looks aesthetically pleasing, and the construction of this material can last a long time. In construction, you can use a simple and profiled timber. In the latter case, the assembly of the house resembles a designer, because. the connection of the elements is due to the tongue-and-groove system. country houses today many companies offer from profiled timber, all the elements of such a house are already ready, they only need to be assembled.
Construction of a garden house from a bar
First of all, as usual, we make the foundation. It can be both columnar and tape. A columnar foundation is suitable if the size of the house is small. For the foundation, you can also use concrete slabs, they are laid on a well-compacted layer of sand, deepening into the ground by about 15 centimeters. After the foundation has been erected, a waterproofing layer should be laid on it, roofing material will do.
After the foundation is made, the frame is installed. Crown and lags ( bottom trim from a bar), are laid on the foundation supports, then vertical supports of the same material are installed.
frame garden house built from timber short term, while the construction is quite strong and durable
If you like a garden house with a veranda, the lower logs are extended to its intended length, mounted on additional supports. Thick boards are used to create the floor, as in the version described above.
After installing the floor, we assemble the walls from the timber. Pins are used to fasten the joints; after a layer of sealant, a new crown is laid out on the finished row. A sealant is needed for each layer; jute or tow can be used.
Then we equip the roof. Installation of braces and rafters from a bar. The next stage is sheathing with timber and laying a layer of roofing material. After that - the final work on the floor. The plank floor is covered with thermal insulation (mineral wool layer). Glassine can be used as a hydro- and vapor barrier. As floor covering in a country house, a thick linoleum or floorboard is suitable.
The house will look very attractive if there are bars outside or wooden clapboard. Now you can move on to installing windows and doors and think about how you want to see the interior of your country house.

Wood goes well with natural stone, so you can make a tabletop out of sandstone, lay out part of the wall. On the veranda, in combination with wood, forging elements will look harmonious.

The rustic style is also suitable for the design of a garden house inside - use patchwork, checkered fabrics and curtains, earthenware, rough wooden furniture, dry bouquets, if you like country style.
Material about country style in the country will also be useful:
If the house is sheathed with plywood or drywall from the inside, the dwelling can be given an urban look - paste over the walls with wallpaper or paint, cover the floor with a carpet.
