Roof of a metal garage made of corrugated sheets. How difficult is it to build a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands? Do you always need a foundation for a garage?

A shelter for your car can be built relatively quickly, and most importantly inexpensively. A corrugated garage can be assembled on average in one week, even if it is installed on a permanent foundation. The first thing you need to do is draw a diagram of the future building.

Garage layout

Look at the site for construction. You need to choose a suitable place before you make drawings of a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands. Usually the garage is placed at the exit of the site so that the gate opens directly onto the street.
When drawing up a drawing, the dimensions of the future structure will depend on the size of your car. Add one meter to each side (length, width). If you plan to place some equipment in the back of the garage, then increase the length accordingly. When planning space for two cars, leave the size between the cars 0.6-0.8 meters. The optimal height is 2.6 m; with a more economical option, make the height at least 2.2 m.

A shed roof is quite suitable for light and low buildings. In regions with heavy snowfall, you can make a gable roof, but it will cost more. But gable trusses will reliably protect the garage roof made of corrugated sheets from the mass of snow, from deformation and from possible collapse.

The higher the ridge of a gable roof, the higher the cost of the project. However, such a roof is more reliable, since less stress is created from the snow, which puts pressure on roof trusses and on the walls of the garage.

Foundation for a garage made of corrugated sheets

When building garages, two types of foundations are most often used:

Tape.
Monolithic.

The first option is most suitable for non-heaving soils that drain water well. By making a monolithic slab, you can kill two birds with one stone: get a solid foundation, immediately pour a flat floor, and then cover it with something.

Building a foundation for a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands begins with markings. In the marked area, dig a hole around the perimeter up to 50 cm deep. Pour 10 cm of crushed stone into the bottom and compact it thoroughly. After the crushed stone, you should pour sand, spill the layer with water and compact it too. The formwork should be made 10-15 cm above ground level. To strengthen the mortar and to build the future skeleton of the garage, pipes are laid along the perimeter of the foundation.

For greater strength, reinforcement can be driven inside the monolith before pouring, in increments of 1 meter, and tied around it by welding reinforcement of a smaller diameter. The pipes around the perimeter will have an outlet of 10-15 cm (support posts are attached to them), for subsequent attachment of the garage frame to them. The pitch between the pipes will depend on the size of the future structure. Corners and fastenings for gates are made from welded pipes or channels of at least 50 mm.

If the plans include constructing an inspection pit, then you need to dig a recess under it in advance and make formwork along the edges of the pit.

Frame assembly

It will take two to three weeks for the solution to completely harden, but after two or three days you can begin assembling the skeleton of the structure. To do this, you will need to prepare the following tools and materials:

metal corner 80 mm;
angle grinder - “grinder”;
welding machine;
canopy hinges (order from a turner with balls);

You will, of course, need to stock up on corrugated sheets, self-tapping screws, and also buy insulation. When purchasing corrugated sheeting, you should know that the higher the wave of the sheet, the more load 1 square meter can withstand. m. roof. For roofing garage structures, use sheets marked K 18 and K 20. The numbers indicate wave height, and the letter “K” means “roofing”. For walls, the marking will be with the letter “C”. The thickness of the profiled sheet varies from 0.4 to 1.0 mm, it also depends on the marking. There is load-bearing corrugated sheeting, it is designated by the letter “N” or “NS” - this is for load-bearing walls.

Having measured the height, first use a grinder to cut a corner for the support posts, which are subsequently welded to the pipe outlets. After installing the corners, cut cross members to them. For crossbars, you can use a smaller corner or pipes. Weld horizontal ties from an 80 mm corner to the vertical posts on top. These puffs will become the basis of the roof. Depending on the height of the ridge, weld either one vertical post (on the ridge) or two struts, which will hold the rafters, to the center of the tightening. Weld the sheathing to the rafters, on which to lay the corrugated sheet.

How to sheathe a garage with corrugated sheets

Attach the sheets of corrugated sheets from the top corner, where you screw one self-tapping screw, then align them and press them tightly to the rack. Use self-tapping screws with rubber washers; they will prevent the screws from being overtightened and will also eliminate the possibility of turning and breaking the threads on the self-tapping screw. However, do not forget to set the screwdriver to low speeds, intended for screwing, and not for drilling.

When purchasing material at a hardware store, you can pre-order cutting of corrugated sheets for garage walls.

First attach the sheet to the walls only on one side, with the release in one wave. Place the next one on top of the previous one and screw it to the frame at the joint. After covering the walls of the garage with corrugated sheeting, proceed to the roof. Prepare gutters and protective wind strips.

The roof of the garage made of corrugated sheets begins to be covered after installing the hooks for the gutters. Wind (end) strips are also fastened before covering the sheets. You can install a drip tray, but a tightly secured drain will suffice. End strip, like the “horse”, you can make it yourself or order it from a hardware store.

The garage roof is covered and secured in the same way as the walls, the only difference being that the work is carried out more carefully so as not to push through the sheets. The joints are attached to each other in one wave; some roofers cover the overlap area before doing this bitumen mastic. The same can be done when attaching profiled sheets to walls.

When selecting self-tapping screws for installing corrugated sheets on the roof. It is necessary to add another 35 mm to the wave size, since the screws are screwed into the ridge. Self-tapping screws can be selected larger size, less is not recommended.

The corrugated ceiling in a garage with a pitched roof is closed from the outside with a corner. The interior junction of the ceiling and walls is foamed with polyurethane foam.

To install a gate, you need to make an opening from more durable parts. Channels are suitable for this. The gates themselves are made from corners of the same size as the garage frame. The gates are assembled on the ground, sheet reinforcements and awnings are welded on. The gate can be sheathed and insulated after installation in the garage opening.

Walls made of corrugated sheets with insulation

The corrugated sheeting needs to be insulated, otherwise in winter the temperature inside will be lower than outside. There are three ways to insulate walls made of corrugated sheets:

mineral wool;
polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam;
foam.

The last option is popular. After all, unlike the first two, here you will not need to make a lath to secure the material. It's simple: polyurethane foam is firmly glued to the walls of the corrugated sheet. But there is also a minus in this method: it requires special equipment and specialists, which means additional expenses. Therefore, it is worth thinking in advance about how to insulate a garage from corrugated sheets.

How to insulate a garage from corrugated sheets

In the case of insulation with foam plastic or mineral wool, it is necessary to make sheathing. For mineral wool, first one lathing frame is made, then the insulation is laid, then another frame is made on which the sheets are attached. The second layer is made for a ventilation gap that will remove moisture from the insulation.

The foam inside is attached to mounting foam or sealant. The sheathing is made from a galvanized profile; insulation is inserted inside the planks.

If your car requires an inexpensive parking space, you can make a garage from corrugated sheets. It is installed quickly, is not very expensive, but what is most important, perhaps, even a non-professional builder can do it with his own hands. It is advisable, however, to have welding skills, but you can do without them.

You can make a garage from corrugated sheets yourself

Advantages and disadvantages

The most important advantage is that you can make a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands, and for a relatively small amount and a short period of time. If the foundation is already ready, self-construction An average-sized building may take up to a week. Another plus is the low weight of the material. It’s easy to work with, and the foundation can be made lighter, saving on this.

There are also disadvantages. First of all, you should think about the fact that a metal profile is not the most durable material. It cuts easily and dents even from a strong blow. For this reason, a garage made of corrugated sheets is built mainly in the courtyard of a private house. The second point is that metal has high thermal conductivity and without insulation in the garage it is very cold in winter and hot in summer.

Dimensions, space on the site

When you are just thinking about building a garage, you need to decide on the location. Most often it is built close to the entrance. Sometimes the gate swings open directly onto the street, sometimes they retreat a few meters from the entrance gate, preferring to park the car further away, under the protection of a fence.

Drawing and dimensions of garages made of corrugated sheets for one car

Garage sizes are selected based on availability free space and the work that you plan to carry out. If you don’t plan to do anything, add a meter to the dimensions of the car (to the length and width). This will be minimum dimensions homes for your car. If you install any equipment, you will need to add at least another meter to the length.

The comfortable height of the garage is 2.6 m, the minimum is 2.2 m. If there are two cars, the depth is considered greater in size, and a distance of at least 0.6-0.8 m must be left between the two cars.

Dimensions of a two-car garage

Foundation for a garage made of corrugated sheets

When building garages, two types of foundations are popular: shallow strip or monolithic slab. Tape can be done on soils that drain water well and are not prone to heaving. In the rest, it is more reliable to make a slab. The slab costs more at the manufacturing stage, but the good thing is that along with a reliable foundation, you immediately get a finished floor in the garage, which only needs to be leveled and covered with something.

Since a garage and corrugated sheeting imply the presence of a frame, when constructing the foundation, for a better connection it is necessary to make releases of reinforcement or monolith studs, to which the frame is then attached.

Preparation for pouring a strip foundation for a garage - formwork is installed

There is also an economical option - not to make a foundation at all, but to dig the posts into the ground. In this case, the frame is made of thick-walled pipes. A hole is made under each rack, crushed stone is poured into it, the rack is placed (it must be treated with anti-corrosion compounds), the crushed stone is compacted around the pipe, and it is filled with concrete. Next, the straps are welded to the racks, assembling a full-fledged frame. A small groove is dug between the posts. It is about 20 cm in width, and in depth - it is necessary to remove the fertile soil. Crushed stone is poured into the resulting ditch and compacted. The level of the crushed stone cushion should be slightly lower than the ground level. During installation, the profiled sheet is lowered to the crushed stone, resting on it (must be level). After constructing the garage walls from corrugated sheets, strips of concrete are laid on both sides of the corrugated sheets, which should cover the groove. On the street side, you can immediately form something like a blind area to drain water from the walls of the garage. This is not to say that this method is “correct”, but that’s how they do it. Especially often - at dachas, where the garage is only a temporary shelter.

How to make a frame

It is better to weld the frame from a profiled pipe. For racks, a section of 80*40 mm with a wall thickness of 3 mm is recommended; for piping, a smaller size is possible. Another option is a steel corner with a shelf width of at least 50 mm and a metal thickness of 3 mm.

If welding is not one of your skills, you can use a galvanized U-shaped profile to install corrugated sheets. The width of the shelf is not less than 50*50 mm. This material is cut into pieces of the required length and assembled using bolts.

Garage frame assembled from galvanized profiles for installation of corrugated sheets

Sometimes they make a frame for a garage from corrugated timber. Not best option in terms of fire safety, but in some regions timber is the cheapest option. The cross-section of the timber for the posts and strapping is at least 80*80 mm.

Having decided on the material for the frame, you need to decide how you will attach the lower frame to the foundation. There are two possibilities. One has already been discussed - to bury studs in the foundation, and the second - to attach the harness to the foundation using anchors. In this case, the strapping is welded by laying the metal over the foundation and checking the corners and diagonals. Then the finished frame is secured with anchor bolts

A frame for a garage made of corrugated sheets is usually made from a profiled pipe or steel angle

When installing the frame, the racks are placed so that the joint of the sheets falls on them. Since a profiled sheet is mounted with an overlap in one wave, the useful width will be needed when calculating (there is such a parameter in technical specifications. This is exactly the step of installing the racks.

Three strapping belts are attached to the racks - at the very bottom and at the top, and in the middle. To increase the rigidity of the structure, you can install corners (pictured above) or bevels - parts that run obliquely from one post to another. The posts under the gate are reinforced - two pipes or corners are welded. The upper beam is also made double - the span without support will be solid, so that the beam does not sag, a second pipe is added.

At fastening points garage doors the racks are reinforced

If the garage is small and the pipe cross-section is large, you can get by with only two pipes - top and bottom. But only in those regions where the winds are not strong or the garage is protected by a house wall, fence, or other structures.

In garages, corrugated sheets are usually made into a single-slope or gable roof. Both options have shown themselves to be quite good, but the single-slope option is easier to implement - less material is required for trusses and rafters, and the consumption of corrugated board is less. The slope can be to one side (pictured below) or backward. Selected depending on the situation.

An example of trusses for forming a pitched garage roof

In regions with a lot of snow, pitched roofs are rarely made - for the snow to melt, a large angle of inclination is required, and this eats up most of the savings (one of the walls has to be made much higher), and the wind load increases. Here, garages made of corrugated sheets are often made with gable roofs.

An example of trusses for a gable roof of a garage

It is advisable to make the angle of inclination of the gable roof of the garage at least 20°. With a larger slope, the roof turns out to be expensive, and with a smaller slope, the snow does not melt well.

Choosing a profiled sheet for a garage

Corrugated sheets are made of galvanized steel. Sheet thickness - from 0.4 to 1 mm. When building a garage from corrugated sheets, it makes sense to choose materials of different thicknesses for the walls and roof. For roofing, the normal thickness is 0.45-0.5 mm, for walls it is better to take 0.6-0.7 mm.

Metal profiles are produced for various purposes: for walls, roofs, load-bearing (does not require a frame). The material intended for walls is marked with the letter “C”, for the roof - with the letter “K”, and the load-bearing material is marked with “H”. There is also a dual-use one - for load-bearing walls, it is marked “NS”. Some manufacturers put a “P” in front of these letters, which means “corrugated sheeting.”

To build a garage from corrugated sheets, use material marked “C” for the walls and material marked “K” for the roof. Further in the marking there are numbers behind the letter. They indicate the height of the wave. For example, the inscription C18 can be deciphered as “wall metal profile with a wave height of 18 mm.” This is the kind of material that is mainly used for garage walls. It has a sufficient degree of rigidity (the higher the wave, the greater the rigidity) and at the same time is not very expensive. If desired, you can take an even tougher C21.

Some types of profiles and sizes of corrugated sheets

The width of the corrugated sheet depends on the wave height. The higher the wave, the smaller the width will be. In the marking, the full width of the sheet is indicated with a hyphen. For example, profiled sheet NS44-1000 has a sheet width of 1000 mm, and H60-845 is 850 mm wide. But when purchasing, it is necessary to take into account that the sheets of metal profiles are laid with overlaps - vertical and horizontal. Therefore, 10-15% more material is required than the area it covers.

There is one more parameter that you should decide on - will you build a garage from galvanized corrugated sheets or with polymer coating. Galvanized is cheaper, but is more susceptible to weather factors. And, although a material with normal galvanization can last about 10 years, a non-ferrous one can have a service life of 30 years or more. It is often important appearance garage, but galvanizing looks much “simpler.”

Installation rules

In order for a garage made of corrugated sheets to serve for a long time, it is necessary to follow the installation rules. For fastening metal profiles use special screws with octagonal head and sealing washer. They are made of high quality steel, then galvanized. To ensure tightness, there is a rubber washer under the metal washer.

Self-tapping screws for metal profiles and rules for their installation

When installing a profiled sheet, you must ensure that the rubber sealing gasket fits tightly to the material, but the metal should not be crushed. Screw in the screws using hand drill, at low speeds. For installation you will need a special attachment for an octagonal head, preferably a magnetized one - it’s easier to work with.

Rules for fastening sheets

When installing on walls, the self-tapping screws are installed either in the groove or in the ridge - it makes no difference, but on the roof they are installed only in the ridge. When installing in a groove, hardware with a diameter of 4.8 * 28 mm is used; when installing in a ridge, the length of the screw is selected depending on its height. Add 35 mm to the wave height to obtain the minimum length. Longer fasteners can be used, shorter ones cannot.

Determining the length of the self-tapping screw for corrugated sheets when installing in a wave

The sheets are attached to the frame - to the harness. The frequency with which self-tapping screws are placed is through the wave, one row relative to the other - in checkerboard pattern. To increase the strength of the connection between two sheets, after the sheets have been secured, additional screws are screwed in or rivets are placed at the joint.

Connecting two sheets of corrugated sheets using self-tapping screws

Now let’s talk about how to place corrugated sheets on the frame. The wave can be sent vertically or horizontally - it makes no difference. If you buy a metal profile from a manufacturer, they can make sheets of the length you need ( maximum length 12 m). In this case, there will be fewer seams, and also a little less consumption (less overlaps).

When joining two sheets along a wave, one goes behind the other by 1 wave. Please note that the side waves are different - one is slightly wider, the second is slightly narrower and has a dropper - a groove. The one that is narrower goes down and is overlapped by a wider one.

If there is horizontal joints, the overlap should be at least 20 cm. For better tightness, the joint is coated with roofing sealants or bitumen mastic. The sheets must be positioned so that water does not flow into the joint (the top sheet covers the bottom sheet); to do this, installation starts from the bottom and moves up.

Joints and nodes

When decorating a gable roof of a garage with corrugated sheeting, you will need a ridge element. It is sold in two-meter pieces. The ridge fragments are installed with an overlap of 20 cm; it is better to coat the joints with bitumen mastic. The fasteners are placed in the ridge in increments of 20 cm.

Attaching the ridge to the corrugated sheet on the garage roof

The joints at the corners of the garage are closed with special corners. They are fastened with small self-tapping screws 4.8 * 35 mm in increments of 25-30 cm.

There are holes at the junction of the roofing sheet and the wall sheet. They are sealed with foam, then sewing up the overhangs with corrugated sheets cut into strips or some other material. There are also sealing tapes made from foamed polyethylene. There are special ones for certain profiles, they repeat the shape of the wave, and there are universal ones - just a strip.

The traditional way to get rid of cracks in a garage made of metal profiles is polyurethane foam

It is worth insulating a garage from corrugated sheets only if you will be heating it. At the same time, it is worth knowing that with proper insulation, a decent area is “eaten up” - the insulation itself, ventilation gap and internal lining will take 7-10 cm. For insulation, as a rule, two materials are used - basalt wool in hard mats or polyurethane foam (foam ).

How to insulate with mineral wool

To install mineral wool, lathing is required - although the slabs are rigid, they cannot stand on their own; they require support. The sheathing is assembled from boards with a width equal to the thickness of the insulation or from a galvanized profile with the same shelf. Attached to the frame in increments of 2-3 cm less than the width of the mat. With this step, the insulation becomes unusable, stands firmly and does not require additional fixation. But for reliability, it still needs to be secured with special “umbrella self-tapping screws”, which are screwed into the pipes/piping corners.

A galvanized profile frame was assembled, mineral wool slabs were installed

After installing the insulation, a counter-latten is made of 3 cm thick planks. Its direction is perpendicular to the sheathing strips. These three centimeters are a ventilation gap, which is necessary to remove moisture that will accumulate in the insulation (condensation that occurs due to the difference in temperature indoors and outdoors). Without a ventilation gap, mineral wool will not “survive” even a season. If it becomes saturated with moisture and then freezes, it may simply crumble after defrosting. And since the garage is usually heated from time to time, a few such frosts are more than enough. Therefore, either use a different material, or create a gap for ventilation.

To protect the mineral wool from increased damage, which sometimes happens inside the garage, a vapor barrier membrane is laid over the counter-lattice. It should prevent moisture from entering the room, but not prevent it from leaving the insulation. When installing a vapor barrier, they try to make it airtight. To do this, one canvas overlaps the other by at least 10 cm, the joints are glued double-sided tape. The vapor barrier is attached to the sheathing with strips (on nails, screws or staples).

Vapor barrier membrane being rolled out

The inner lining is stuffed on top of this whole cake. This is very moisture-resistant plywood or OSB, but you can also use other sheet materials - GVL, GSP and others. The latter are even preferable, since they do not burn.

Use of polystyrene foam

Polystyrene foam itself is not bad as insulation, but not in this case. A garage made of corrugated sheets will heat up to significant temperatures in the summer, and heated foam releases substances harmful to health. This is one minus. The second is that it is not clear how to attach it. Usually they are attached to the wall with self-tapping screws with large plastic caps - umbrellas, but this method is not suitable with corrugated sheeting - you won’t make holes in it.

How to fix foam plastic on a corrugated sheet

There is an option - install it on sealant or polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam holds well, but is hygroscopic. Without a ventilation gap, when saturated with moisture, it will become an excellent breeding ground for mold, fungi, and insects.

The sealant is non-hygroscopic, but expensive, because a composition with the ability to operate in a wide temperature range is required. It must be frost-resistant and tolerate heating to significant temperatures.

Make a sheathing and insert foam into it

Another option is to make a sheathing from a galvanized profile. Her step is 1 meter, as such standard size foam block. In this case, they can be inserted and attached to the sheathing.

Insulation using polyurethane foam, applied from the apparatus in a continuous layer, is becoming increasingly popular. In this case, no problems with fastening arise, but these services are paid - special equipment is required. But no hassle with installation.

Insulation with polyurethane foam - polyurethane foam

In general, this is all about how to make a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands. There are many more moments and nuances, but they are mostly individual.

How to build a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands, drawings and diagrams

Every car owner wants his “favorite” to be protected from rain and snow, which will extend its service life. But prices for materials and land plots They don’t allow everyone to set up a garage (the very maintenance of a car implies some costs). If you are lucky enough to get hold of a plot for construction, or there is a place near a private house, then we will describe in detail how to make a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands.

Garage drawings

Drawing of a frame for a garage made of corrugated sheets

Stages of work

The construction process involves sequential execution of work.

It is assumed that the location of the future garage has already been chosen. For its precise orientation in space and the evenness of the frame, you must first make markings:

Pegs are driven into the corners of the future building.
A string is stretched between the pegs.
At the corners and middle of the sides of the structure, places are marked where you need to dig holes (for installing frame posts).

Along the marked perimeter you need to dig a trench with a depth of 0.4 - 1 m.
The bottom of the trench is covered with bedding material. Its height: about 15 cm. For greater strength, it is compacted.
First you need to worry about the main frame posts. For them, holes (about 50 cm) are dug in places marked in advance.
If the soil crumbles, it is necessary to make formwork.
Before pouring the solution, take care of the reinforcement - although the structure made of corrugated sheets is lightweight, it is highly not recommended to fill the base without reinforcement. For it, rods of 10-12 mm in diameter are used. They can be fixed to each other with ordinary steel wire.
Pipes (frame support posts) are placed in the dug holes and secured with spacers.
The solution is poured.

Bedding material (sand, crushed stone, screenings) should be wetted before pouring the solution - it will protect the concrete from cracking.
Choose concrete of a grade not lower than M500.
Lubricate the pipes of the support posts with bitumen mastic in the place that will be immersed in the ground - it will protect against corrosion.
When you pour the concrete, pierce it several times with a rod - air will come out, which will strengthen the base.
When making a foundation for the frame, it is better to immediately dig an inspection hole and fill the floor under the car.

You need to wait until the base gains at least a little strength (drying time depends on the weather).

To make a strong garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands, you need to build a powerful frame. Operating procedure:

In accordance with the drawing you need to prepare necessary elements structures of the required size.
Horizontal partitions are welded to the frame support pipes (they can also be secured with bolts). Work is performed only on those sides where there will be no gates.
The foundation for the construction of the roof is being prepared. The simplest option is to build a garage with a pitched roof. It is better to direct the ramp in the opposite direction from the gate.
Now you need to measure the dimensions of the gate, weld a frame for it from the corner and strengthen it with stiffening ribs. Pieces of metal are welded at the place where the bolts are installed. Next, hinges are welded to the front support posts of the gate, the gate is placed in a permanent location and attached to the garage frame by welding the counter hinges.

The frame is ready. To finally build a garage, you need to carry out last stage work.

Installation of corrugated sheets

The construction of the frame was carried out at the stage of incomplete drying of the concrete, but the installation of wall cladding elements must begin after its final hardening.

The first sheet is adjusted so that the edge meets the supporting element of the frame as much as possible. After choosing the correct location, secure it with self-tapping screws.
The second sheathing element is superimposed on the first so that the overlap is one wave (this is enough if the sheets are securely fastened). Now it is screwed on 3 sides (the place where the next sheet will be placed does not need to be secured). In this way, the entire structure is covered.

Fasten the corrugated sheet with self-tapping screws that have a rubber seal.
Sheathing material can already be purchased required sizes(some sellers are willing to pre-cut).
It is better to install corrugated sheeting in a vertical position - water will drain better.
edges finishing materials must fit tightly to the supporting elements of the frame.

In accordance with the selected type of roof, the following work is carried out:

Installation of rafters. They are installed with an appropriate slope.
The sheathing is welded.
Sheets of corrugated sheets are screwed around the perimeter.

After completing these works, you can sheathe the front wall of the garage and the gate itself.

What do you need to buy and prepare for work?

Profiled sheeting.
Cement.
Bedding material for the base (sand, crushed stone).
Screws.
Steel profile.

A garage made of corrugated sheets with your own hands is a fairly strong and durable structure for storing a car. Its construction does not require special skills, and the construction costs, considering the cost of other materials, are very attractive.

We build a garage with our own hands from corrugated sheets: step-by-step construction process

Automation of the population in our country has already reached quite high level, so the need for garages is also growing, which leads to an increase in their cost. Therefore, building a garage from corrugated sheets appears to be an excellent way out. This article will detail some of the nuances of this type of construction, knowledge of which will help you cope with the construction of a garage without the involvement of outside specialists.

Preparation of tools and materials

For construction you will also need some tools. You should prepare in advance:

A screwdriver or electric drill with this function;
Plumb line, tape measure and building level (preferably laser or water level);
Welding inverter;
Angle grinder (grinder);
Metal scissors;
Shovel and bayonet shovels, crowbar;
Concrete mixer or container for mixing the solution (trough, bathtub, etc.);
Sledgehammer.

The main material for constructing a garage is corrugated sheeting. In addition to this, you will need the following materials:

Cement, sand, crushed stone and reinforcement for the base;
Steel corner 40x40 mm or profile pipe 40x20 mm for the frame;
Steel pipes with a diameter of 60 mm for the frame;
Insulation;
Additional elements (windproof strips, drainage system);
Self-tapping screws;
Boards for formwork;
Consumables (cutting wheels, nails, electrodes, wire, etc.).

Where to build the future garage? Site selection and urban planning standards

Before purchasing all necessary materials You should first decide on the place where the car “house” will be located. For the purpose fire safety You should not build it close to residential buildings. This will also significantly reduce the amount of exhaust gases inhaled, especially in warm time year.

It is also important to ensure unhindered exit of the car, so there should be free space in front of the gate, but at the same time it should not be too large, otherwise in winter you will have to spend too much effort on clearing snow debris.

The construction site itself should be relatively level to minimize the labor and financial costs of leveling it.

There are no strict urban planning standards of SNiP regarding garages made of corrugated sheets, but a number of recommendations must still be followed. So, for example, the distance between the building and the neighbor’s fence must be at least 1 m. This is necessary to prevent water from the garage roof from getting onto the neighbors’ property. As for the “red line”, it is not recommended to place the gate on the same level with it, since a distance of 5 meters must be maintained if the passage is the main one, and 3 meters if the passage is a side one.

Choosing material for building a garage from corrugated sheets

Buying corrugated sheets is worth paying attention to special attention. You will need corrugated sheeting marked “C”, which means “wall”. The option with the lowest cost is products marked C-8 (the second digit indicates the wave height, expressed in millimeters) and C-9.

However, this brand requires more frequent fastening, and is also quite noisy in windy weather, since its stiffness coefficient is relatively low. The most optimal choice is S-20 corrugated sheeting. Corrugated sheeting also varies in metal thickness; for a garage, 0.5 mm is quite enough.

Step-by-step process for building a garage

The whole process is slightly different from the progress of work when building a garage from SIP panels.

Terrain marking

The construction process itself begins with marking the area.

Remember that any construction must begin with design; draw a drawing of the future garage, as well as its location on the general plan of the entire site. This will help you think through all the details of construction and avoid possible mistakes.

You should be guided by the fact that a garage designed for one car, must be at least 6 meters long and 4 meters wide. Marking is carried out using wooden stakes or other suitable objects, which are stuck in the corners of the building, and a string stretched between them marks the location of the future walls.

Further actions depend on whether a full-fledged foundation will be built or whether the matter will be limited to concrete “pillows” for the frame supports. In the first case, it will be necessary to remove a layer of soil to a depth of 0.5 m, in the second, to dig square depressions measuring about 50x50x50 cm in the corners of the garage, as well as in the middle of each side (except for the one where the gate will be located).

Foundation structure

Laying a foundation for a garage made of corrugated sheets has its own peculiarity, since in parallel with it, the installation of metal frame supports must also be carried out. As mentioned above, under the supports you should dig recesses 50x50x50 cm in the corners of the building. Next, they should be placed steel pipes and hammer them in with a sledgehammer to the depth in accordance with the construction plan.

When driving in the supports, you should control the verticality of their position using a level, since after completion of the immersion it will be quite difficult to level the pipe. After driving all the pillars between them, you should dig a trench 30 cm wide. If the soil in the area is loose, then the construction of formwork will be required. Then, by mixing cement with sand and gravel, a concrete solution is prepared and poured into the formwork.

Before this, the bottom of the trenches should be sprinkled with a layer of river sand 5-10 cm thick. concrete mortar it must be done in several passes, and in order to prevent the base from cracking over time, it is necessary to lay reinforcement.

Construction of an inspection pit

At the foundation construction stage, an inspection pit is also installed, if one is provided for in the plan. It must be positioned taking into account the size of the car.

As a rule, an inspection hole is dug to a depth of 1-1.2 m from the level of the future garage floor. The walls of the inspection pit must be reinforced with steel mesh and plastered. The floor must be covered with roofing felt in three layers and concreted.

To make it easier to use the pit, you can build steps, which should also be concreted. The edges of the pit must be reinforced with a steel angle, and in the future it can be used as a cellar for storing supplies. However, if the level groundwater very high, then the construction of a viewing hole is not recommended.

Installation of frame and gate

Frame installation is the most critical stage of construction. It should be started only after the foundation has hardened, that is, no earlier than a week later. How to weld a frame for a garage? Now we'll tell you!

Already installed supports must be connected with cross members, for which a square or square profile pipe should be used. rectangular section(40x20 mm or 40x40 mm). The number of crossbars depends on the height of the structure. The strapping also depends on the size of the corrugated sheets.

Drawing of swing gates

Sometimes used as crossbars wooden blocks. However, this is not very advisable, since wood is less durable compared to metal, and the amount of work also increases, since it will still not be possible to attach the bars directly to the steel supports and will have to be welded to them metal plates and drill holes in them for self-tapping screws.

Garage doors

At the same stage, the entrance gates are assembled. Garage doors should be solid and heavy to prevent theft of property. The same profile pipe serves as the basis; when calculating the dimensions of the sashes, it is advisable not only to take into account the dimensions of the car, but also the width of the corrugated sheets. The gate will also need welded hinges, the size of which depends on the massiveness of the doors. Hinges with a diameter of 30 mm are standard. If necessary, you can use three hinges per sash. After graduation welding work all metal frame must be painted with protective enamel.

Wall installation

If all previous stages of construction were carried out in accordance with the standards, then assembling the walls will not cause much difficulty even for very inexperienced craftsmen. The sheets must be secured in a vertical position, overlapping with a pitch between screws of 300 mm in bottom part waves.

The screws must be positioned strictly at right angles to reduce the likelihood of slipping, which can lead to damage to the upper protective layer and rapid corrosion. The joints between the sheets should be sealed.

For these purposes, it is necessary to lay a special waterproofing membrane on the previous one before attaching each subsequent sheet. This will prevent moisture, snow and cold air from getting inside the garage. Such a garage is not warm, but it perfectly protects the car and equipment from precipitation and sun. In order for the garage to have a positive temperature in winter, it must be insulated. It is necessary to add insulation to the wall pie, for example foamed Penoplex slabs or basalt wool slabs.

Corrugated roof

The garage roof can be made in two versions: single-pitch or gable. Or maybe at all flat roof. Depending on the chosen option, you should install the rafters from the same profile pipe. The angle of the roof should ensure timely removal of the snow mass, but at the same time fit harmoniously into the exterior of the garage.

After installation rafter system it is necessary to install the sheathing, the frequency of which directly depends on the angle of the roof slope; if it is more than 15 degrees, then it may not be completely continuous. If the slope is less than 15 degrees, then it is better to make the sheathing in a continuous row to prevent the roof from being pushed through by the snow mass.

Installation of roof sheathing should begin with securing the strips and gutters. First of all, you need to attach hooks for the gutter system to the lower edge of the roof and lay the gutter itself directly on them.

Then along the perimeter of the roof it is necessary to install special windproof strips, which are steel sheets bent at an angle, which prevent precipitation from penetrating under the roof of the building.

It is worth considering this feature: on the lower edge of the roof, on which the drainage system is installed, the windproof strip should be attached so that its end falls into the drain.

The corrugated sheets themselves should be placed in waves parallel to the axis of the garage; this is necessary to ensure good drain water and snow melting. You need to place a sheet of corrugated sheeting on top of the side windproof strip and align it along the edge of the roof, then attach it together with the strip to the sheathing. In the same way, you must continue attaching the sheets to the opposite end.

Fastening corrugated sheets

Since corrugated sheeting is the basis of the garage, it is worth dwelling once again in more detail on the nuances of its fastening. During the installation of the side walls, the first sheet is placed in such a way that its lower edge of the wave fits tightly to the vertical post, otherwise the sharp edge can cause a lot of trouble in the future.

The corrugated sheeting is fastened using standard self-tapping screws with a hex head and a rubber seal, using an electric drill or screwdriver. First, one of the upper corners should be fastened, then the sheet should be leveled using a level and fastened over the entire area, leaving the outer three waves unfastened. The next sheet must be placed on the previous one in one wave, aligning both on top, fasten the sheets in several places and continue fastening in the same way as the first. To achieve a better fit, it is better to move the sheets towards the center of the fastening by 4-5 mm.

Insulation of a garage from corrugated sheets

You can insulate a garage made of corrugated sheets using polystyrene foam or mineral wool. However, it is worth remembering that polystyrene foam is a flammable material, so it is better to use rolls of mineral wool, which must be rolled out evenly inside walls and roofs.

The insulation is fixed using a special adhesive or polyurethane foam.

The first option is more preferable. The gate leaves around the perimeter must be glued with strips of frost-resistant rubber.

Advantages and disadvantages of garages made of corrugated sheets

The main advantages of garages made of corrugated sheets:

Relative ease of installation, which allows almost anyone with minimal skills and abilities in the construction field to independently build a garage;
Construction speed. The total time required for the construction of such a garage does not exceed 10 days, 7 of which are required for the concrete to harden;
Durability of construction. The service life of such garages is at least 30 years, and if operating conditions are observed, it can reach up to 50-70 years;
Relatively low construction costs;
Possibility of recycling materials used in construction. For example, if necessary, corrugated sheets and profile pipes can be used as fencing materials.

As a disadvantage of this kind of buildings, it is necessary to note the low resistance to temperature changes. However, this property can be neutralized by high-quality insulation.

The question of how to build a garage with your own hands is most often asked by those who strive not only to save money, but also enjoy the quality of work done. The first stage of this process consists of laying the slab base. Under it, soil is excavated to a depth equal to the thickness of the foundation and sand cushion. It is poured onto a leveled bottom.

How to build a garage from corrugated sheets yourself, necessary materials and tools

We will tell you in detail about the construction of a garage from corrugated sheets in short term and with your own hands. You will learn how to insulate a garage, how to lay a roof from corrugated sheets.

Construction of a garage from corrugated sheets (corrugated sheets) with your own hands - how to build and sheathe: drawings, photos

Created by an Englishman at the beginning of the 19th century on manual machine, profiled sheet has come a long way of modernization from a corrugated iron sheet to the thinnest steel (0.5 mm) with a double-sided protective coating.

Currently, it is recognized by both roofers and builders as a universal material for the construction of lightweight structures, of which it is a variety garage.

What can be built from corrugated sheets to protect a car?

Before build a garage from corrugated sheets, you need to determine target pursued by the customer:

cover vehicle from the vicissitudes of bad weather, solar ultraviolet radiation;
protect the car from seasonal disasters and the evil eye of others;
create a comfortable all-season environment for the safety of equipment and systematic maintenance work;
combine the protective capabilities of the building with the functions of storing oversized household items that did not have a place in the house, or the harvested crops.

Based on goals, as a parking lot for a car you can build:

canopy made of corrugated sheets (single-pitch, gable, multi-pitch or arched);
a small lightweight garage for temporary parking on a shallow foundation;
capital construction of a garage made of corrugated sheets on a monolithic slab or strip foundation, with insulation of walls and roof, installation of an inspection pit or cellar.

In all cases profiled sheet suitable for walls, roofs, and even gates - no matter what type they are (hinged, lifting, sliding). And fasten sheets will have to be made of wood, metal or a combination (of wood and metal elements) frame:

This is the technological sequence of manufacturing corrugated garages.

Do-it-yourself garage made of corrugated sheets: features

Profiled sheet made of steel, depending on the thickness and height of the wave, can have various practical applications, which are encrypted in the marking. Which one to take? corrugated sheet for garage? We advise you the most popular brands C18 And S21. At the same time, "WITH" means leaf type- wall, and numbers- wave height in centimeters.

The more wave height, the more reliably the sheet resists load bearing, the less often you can install sheathing elements.

An acceptable option for a garage is corrugated sheeting with markings NS- load-bearing wall, trapezoidal profile, galvanized, or with aluminum-silicon or polymer coating.

Sheet flexibility requires solid foundation- from here frame technology construction.

And the overall lightness of the material (the weight of the structure will be a little more than 1 ton) allows you to be content with a shallow columnar, pipe or strip foundation.

The whole process including foundation installation, will take 2 weeks.

Before you build a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands, it is advisable to order the cutting of sheets from a supplier and have an assistant, or even 2. For speeding up installation work.

The easiest way- assemble a garage from ready-made elements of the purchased kit. In this case, it is enough to prepare foundation and it will take 3 days to assemble. Factory garage kits made of corrugated sheets vary in the number of components and price:

basic version(frame, walls, roof, cornice, swing gates);
extended version(basic + window, door, drain, sectional gate);
insulated version(extended + insulation, interior finishing) - the most expensive.

You can buy garage-constructor from corrugated sheets, where all the component elements will already be assembled (walls, roof, gates with insulation and external and internal finishing).

But, if there is an irresistible desire to do homemade garage from corrugated sheets, you should start with a garage project and purchasing materials and necessary tools.

The project could be drawing of a garage made of corrugated sheets with your own hands or a standard version from the Internet database, which should contain all the nuances of the garage design and all the dimensions necessary for work.

For example, see below: do-it-yourself garage made of corrugated sheets - drawing:

Frame technology involves the construction of a reliable frame made of wood or metal to which it will be attached sheet material. At the same time, he will provide perfect geometry the entire structure, confrontation soil movements.

What should be on hand when starting work?

For marking the site (pegs, hammer, cord).
Measuring tool (bubble or laser level, roulette).
Equipment and devices for foundation construction (bayonet shovel, crowbar, concrete mixer, pliers, rule).
Tool for cutting corrugated sheets (scissors and hacksaw, electric saw "grinder").
Tool for assembling the frame (screwdriver).
For installation of permanent connections (welding machine with a set of electrodes).

Before sheathe the garage with corrugated sheets remember that the profiled sheet with a polymer coating when cutting "grinder" gets melted torn cut, vulnerable to corrosion. To avoid this, you must use a special disk for cutting thick corrugated sheets 1-1.5 mm. And cover the cut suitable color paint.

Advantages and disadvantages

frost-resistant light non-flammable material, which is not subject to rotting;
is not afraid of soil movements and does not require preventive maintenance throughout the entire period of operation;
if necessary, convenient for transportation;
allows fragmentary repair of the coating;
durable (service life - 30-40 years) and easy to install;
allows you to reduce the construction time of a garage to 10 days;
It has a low cost and a presentable appearance and retains it for a long time during operation.

irreparable deformation of the sheet due to a strong impact and rusting of the metal at the site of damage to the protective layer;
low thermal conductivity;
relative ease of criminal penetration.

The combination of metal and wood in the frame design may be a consequence lack of funds for one of the types. In this case timber used for intermediate supports or horizontal elements. This creates the difficulty of joining wood and metal in general design. As a result he suffers frame reliability as a basis for profiled sheets.

Set of building materials

We build a garage from corrugated sheets - list of building materials(if the task is simplified, a number of positions can be abandoned):

For foundation construction:

boards or OSB (for formwork) or pipes ᴓ20cm, concrete blocks;
roll sealant;
metal rod (ᴓ6-8 mm) for reinforcement;
tie wire (1 mm) or plastic clamps;
dry mix M 400.

To install the garage frame:

metal profile 10x10 and 5x5 or laminated veneer lumber of the same section;
fasteners (anchors, dowels, metal screws);
blanks metal corner for joining wooden elements.

profiled sheet C or NS;
self-tapping screws with rubber gaskets;
bitumen for waterproofing joints;
insulation (mineral wool, glass wool, expanded polystyrene);
film waterproofing;
membrane film;
sheet material for internal cladding;
tongue and groove board or rubberized floor covering;
additional parts for the roof (gutters, ridge).

A few tips before making a garage from corrugated sheets:

Garage space should be 1 meter away from the fence, located 5 meters from the red line, 3 meters from the side passage and, preferably, 7 steps from the porch.
When designing it is worth considering groundwater level. At a level above 2.5 meters, a viewing hole or cellar cannot be built. If the terrain reduced- it’s worth taking care of the device drainage system around the garage.
Protect your garage from dampness concrete blind areas- 50 cm wide, with a slight slope from the base. They will also provide convenient passage around the building.
For better safety of the car, it is preferable to place it in a parking lot away from the inspection hole, which causes condensation. If the size of the garage or material resources do not allow you to equip an inspection hole nearby, when operating the garage it must be covered with a shield of boards.
Calculation time costs for construction - pouring the foundation - 2-3 weeks; frame installation - 1-2 days; fastening corrugated sheets (without insulation and interior decoration) - 1 day(with the help of 3 people); gate installation - 1-2 days.
It is more efficient to carry out excavation work and foundation construction in the warm season. It is advisable to install the walls and roof of the garage in dry, windless weather.
At finished frame installation of corrugated sheeting can begin both from the walls and from the roof.
Having insulated the walls and roof of the garage from corrugated sheets, you will have to think about it heating, since corrugation does not store heat. If it can be connected to the electrical wiring of the house, it will be effective infrared heater . Otherwise, it will help out solid fuel stove.

Sequence of construction work

Development or reference to the area finished project garage.
Preparation construction site (clearing, leveling, marking).
Earthworks(preparation of holes or trenches for the foundation, preparation of a pit for an inspection hole, cellar, caisson, creation of an open drainage system 1 meter from the walls of the garage with drainage into a natural reservoir).
Foundation structure garage depending on the type:
- pipe - made of metal or asbestos pipes ᴓ20 cm, buried 50 cm in the ground, poured with concrete or covered with fine gravel for strength; a metal rod is placed in the corner pipes to secure the frame;
- pile - reinforced concrete piles of a solid section are used, for their installation you will need to rent special equipment;
- strip - a trench 40 cm deep around the perimeter of the garage is formed with formwork to raise the base to a height of 20 cm, lined with roll sealant, filled with tied reinforcement and filled with concrete; this type of foundation - best option, if you plan to construct an inspection pit or cellar.
Construction of a cellar or inspection pit (filling the bottom of the pit with sand, external waterproofing, concreting the floor and walls (laying brick walls), decorating the edge of the pit with a corner, installing a sealed hatch for the cellar, screeding the subfloor).
Frame installation:
- fastening bottom trim from a metal profile to the base on a layer of sealant and vertical posts with anchors to the embedded rods in the corners;
- making the top trim from metal profiles;
- installation of intermediate racks;
- installation roof trusses, if it is gable, rafters;
- reinforcement with metal profiles entry frame;
- painting the frame.
Sheathing a garage with corrugated sheets- walls and roofs:
- the position of the sheet is selected so that the profile accelerates the flow of rainwater;
- the first sheet is attached to the corner post without protruding sharp cuts;
- the sheet is stitched with self-tapping screws into each wave along the lower and upper edges, in other places the fastening step does not exceed 50cm;
- screws should not be screwed in with excessive force, so as not to damage the protective layer of the sheet;
- each subsequent sheet is overlapped, overlapping 10 cm of the previous one (the joints are coated with sealant); on the roof one sheet overlaps the other by 20cm;
- Before installing the roof, logs from boards, membrane film, slab insulation, roll sealant are laid on the rafter system, and only then - a sheet of corrugated sheets;
- the joint of the corrugated sheet on a gable roof is decorated with a ridge made of sheet steel; drains are installed along the edge of the protruding flooring;
- work on insulation and wall cladding is carried out from inside the room.
Gate installation:
- frame preparation depending on type of gate(swing, lifting, sliding);
- covering the frame with a profiled sheet according to the type of walls;
- installation of hinges (3 for each door) or special mechanisms: for sliding gates - roller, for lifting gates - lever-hinged;
- installation of bolts and locks;
- finishing of the finished floor (flooring, painting).

Algorithm of actions, skills in using the tool, reliable assistant on the construction site - that's all you need to self-construction of a garage from corrugated sheets. The structure will be durable, warm, comfortable for maintenance car and as beautiful as the choice of color and corrugated sheet profile allows. And the result will please you 40 years old.

Do-it-yourself garage made of corrugated sheets: which one to choose and how to build, make, sheathe and cover, homemade construction from corrugated sheets, drawings and photo materials

This article contains information on how to build, sheathe, cover and make a garage from corrugated sheets with your own hands, manufacturing self-built from corrugated sheets, which one to use for cladding, drawings and photo materials.

Corrugated sheeting is becoming increasingly popular as a material for the construction of garages. This is natural, because it is relatively inexpensive, durable, strong, and easy to install without the use of special equipment. But before you build a garage from corrugated sheets, it will be useful to know how to choose the right profiled sheets.

Choosing corrugated sheets for the garage

According to the profile shape, the sheets come in sinusoidal, trapezoidal and rounded shapes. An important criterion for choosing corrugated sheeting is its thickness. The larger it is, the stronger and more expensive the sheets.

Corrugated sheets are produced for different needs:

roofing- for the construction of roofing and decking;
wall- for external walls, gates, gates, fences;
carrier- used in high-rise construction, including for the construction of floors between floors;
decorative- widely used for the construction of fences, decoration of shops, cottages, gas stations, etc.

The corrugated sheet has markings from which you can find out the height of the corrugation and the scope of application of the material:

C - sheets for wall fencing, trapezoidal corrugation, 8-44 mm high. For example, the marking “C20” means that this is corrugated sheeting with a 20 mm height and 0.45-0.7 mm thickness;
NS - for wall fences and decking, corrugation 35-44 mm high and 0.4-0.9 mm thick. If you are planning to build a garage from corrugated sheets, it is better to choose a material marked “NS”;
N - high-strength material for roofs, permanent load-bearing formwork, corrugation height exceeds 44 mm and up to 1 mm thick.

Choosing a place for the garage

The garage can be attached to the house or built away from residential buildings. For small areas, the first option is preferable, since it allows you to save space and money on connecting communications.

(loadposition Adsense)

If there is no house on the site yet, make up detailed plan to allocate territory for buildings. Before building a garage, walk around the site again, evaluate how convenient the entrance will be, and whether the garage will shade the flowerbed or interfere with other objects.

Construction of a foundation and frame from a profile

The first stage of work is the foundation, in our version it is a reinforced concrete monolithic slab. If you are planning a garage with an inspection hole, then you should choose strip foundation, check that groundwater does not flood the hole or plan proper waterproofing in advance.

The corrugated sheeting is attached to the frame; the frame is mounted from 80 mm galvanized angle or square pipes with a cross-section of about 40x80 mm.

In order to avoid intermediate supports when building a garage from corrugated sheets, the racks should be placed in increments equal to the width of the overlapping profiled sheets.

The frame can be attached to the foundation with anchors or welded to pre-released concrete reinforcement.

Garage wall installation

Corrugated sheeting can be used both as the main load-bearing material and as a decorative cladding. In the second case, the walls are insulated with thermal insulation, then profiled sheets are attached to them.

If the load-bearing wall material is corrugated sheeting, it is attached directly to the frame. Before you build a garage from corrugated sheets, think about which option suits you best.

The sheets are fastened to the frame using self-tapping screws with a rubber sealing washer.
Fixation is performed in a recessed corrugation through one rib.
To improve the tightness of joints, corrugated sheets are fixed with rivets in increments of no more than 30 cm.

Roof installation

When arranging a roof for a garage, there are also two options:

Insulate the finished roof with corrugated sheeting. The sheets are placed on the roof and secured to each other using sealed bolts.
Use profiled sheets as an independent material.

In the second case, you need to decide what kind of roof you want to build: single or double slope. Usually made for garages pitched roof, since it is easier to install and cheaper in materials.

It is advisable to choose roofing sheets of a length that completely covers the slope.

The joints of the profiled sheets are made with an overlap of at least 20 cm. They should be laid out overlapping and filled with bitumen sealants.
The sheets are laid strictly parallel to the horizontal cornice. Be sure to leave 40 cm of overhang beyond the edge of the cornice.
On purlins, ridge, sheathing in the area of 1.5 m around the perimeter of the roof, it is necessary to double the number of sheet fastenings.
A gap of 30 ± 10 cm is left between the top layer of the roof and the thermal insulation.

Drawing of a garage with a pitched roof

We've sorted it out general scheme for a garage made of corrugated sheets. Of course, the arrangement of the garage is not finished yet. Doors, windows, shelving and other accessories need to be installed. But here you can already use materials at your discretion.

A garage made of corrugated sheets with your own hands is not only durable and reliable, but also a very attractive structure that can be assembled very quickly and with minimal material costs. Use as main building material profiled sheet is justified by numerous advantages.

A garage made of corrugated sheets not only looks great, but also provides a durable and strong structure.

This is a low weight product along with high strength and rigidity. Such a sheet is difficult to bend or damage, and the structure itself will last for many decades. Installation is simple: installing the frame and sheathing it with corrugated sheets is very easy, even on your own, and in general, two men are enough to easily cope with this task.

Preparing tools and suitable materials

Sheets of corrugated sheets are difficult to bend or deform, so such structures are very durable.

Before building a garage from corrugated sheets, you should prepare the necessary tools and suitable materials for work. First of all, this is the profiled sheet itself, the quantity of which must be correctly calculated when ordering. Be sure to take into account that the flooring for the walls and roof will be laid with an overlap of up to two hundred millimeters!

We will also need profile pipes for the frame, insulation, vapor barrier membrane, self-tapping screws, wire cutters, steel rivets, pencil, screwdriver, plumb bob, shovel, cement, crushed stone, sand, various screws, U-shaped profile.

Where to build the future garage?

Preparatory work includes finding a suitable site for the garage, clearing the area of debris, and removing up to ten centimeters of soil. If an inspection hole is planned in the garage, then provision should be made for digging and lining such a small “basement” room.

After this, we begin marking the area by installing pegs around the perimeter of the future structure and stretching the rope. A garage made of corrugated sheets usually differs small in size, so this markup will not take much time.

In the corners we dig holes measuring five hundred by five hundred millimeters and also five hundred millimeters deep - then we install the formwork in them. We fill the holes concrete mixture with proportions: one part purified sand to three parts cement. It is necessary to fill to the soil level.

It is best to build the garage itself a little away from the house, but in such a way that you can easily drive up to it. The optimal place is an area near the gate: the car is thus able to drive normally into the garage without affecting the surrounding landscape. The driveway is installed from the very gate of the fence; It's better if it's straight.

Garage base and frame

For a garage made of corrugated sheets metal will do garage frame.

A frame for a garage made of corrugated sheets is assembled quite quickly from profiled pipes of round or square cross-section. In this case, the duration of work on the structure will depend on the presence of an inspection hole under the garage itself.

At the very simple version pipes for the frame are simply installed in pre-dug holes into which sand and gravel cushions are poured.

After installing the racks, the pits are filled with concrete. Don't rush into further work, since the filling must dry well.

The size of the frame depends on the size of the car, the need to store tools, a motorcycle, bicycles in the garage, or the need to park not one, but two cars in it. The skeleton itself is quite simple: it consists of supporting vertical posts and cross members.

Wall installation

Building a garage from corrugated sheets can be quite easy and quick. After installing the frame, we proceed to the installation of walls made of profiled sheets. Everything here is extremely simple: the sheets are attached to the racks using self-tapping screws, all joints are additionally fixed with steel rivets. After the walls are sewn up, you can carry out waterproofing work and insulate the walls with mineral wool slabs.

Before you begin installing the walls, you need to carefully measure everything again and check the horizontalness with a building level. Then we cut the sheets (if this has not already been done) and in increments of three hundred millimeters we begin to attach the corrugated sheet to the frame.

Garages made of corrugated sheets are a rigid structure that will perfectly withstand various loads and impacts, but for this it is necessary to strengthen the sheets correctly. It is recommended to use sealing gaskets and bitumen-based sealants during installation, which will make the structure resistant to weather changes and heavy rains.

Important! The sheets are fixed through a wave on the lower deflections in increments of up to three hundred millimeters using not only self-tapping screws, but also rivets.

Corrugated roof

Garages made of corrugated sheets often have the most common one- or gable roof, which can be insulated. Fastening is carried out with self-tapping screws, the sheets are mounted on the profile of the roof frame. The sheet itself is selected in such a way that it is possible to cover the entire length of the garage in one piece.

In general, it is better to cut off the excess part than to take on complex work to build up the missing fragment. And it will be easier and more reliable to insulate such a roof.

The joints of garage flooring sheets are made about two hundred millimeters. You only need to lay the sheets overlapping. After installation, the joints are sealed with bitumen-based materials. Garages made of corrugated sheets usually do not have insulated walls, unlike the roof, which should be insulated.

During installation, the frame and roof sheathing are first assembled, after which a waterproofing film in the form of a PVC membrane is laid. After this, the roof can be insulated with mineral wool. Behind the layer of cotton wool we leave a special ventilation gap twenty to forty millimeters.

In this case, the number of fastening elements increases, the lathing pitch itself is up to one and a half meters. The diameter of the screws for fastening, which must have rubber gaskets, is 4.8 millimeters. The number of such fasteners is up to eight pieces per square meter.

There are still a few steps left to take, and the corrugated sheet garage will be ready for use! Fill the floor, build shelves for tools.

Advantages and disadvantages of garages made of corrugated sheets

Building a garage from corrugated sheets has a number of advantages, which are forcing more and more people to prefer this material. The most important advantage is the cost of the entire structure, which is much lower than the price of garages made of other materials.

Installation of structures made from corrugated sheets is relatively simple and takes very little time, and the service life of a garage made from corrugated sheets can be several decades. In addition, you can make such a garage with your own hands, without involving expensive specialists.

But a garage made of corrugated sheets also has some disadvantages, which should also be mentioned. Such material by itself cannot provide excellent protection for the car, since the locks are easily cut off, and the walls can be damaged using a circular saw.

This drawback can be mitigated by insulating the garage, but such measures non-residential premises are not used so often, and the cost of insulation significantly increases the price of the garage.

As we have seen, making a garage from corrugated sheets is quite simple; we just need to prepare the tools and a profiled sheet with a frame. Such a garage will last a very long time, and the use of painted sheets makes it very attractive.

The motorization of the population in our country has already reached a fairly high level, so the need for garages is also growing, which leads to an increase in their cost. Therefore, building a garage from corrugated sheets appears to be an excellent way out. This article will detail some of the nuances of this type of construction, knowledge of which will help you cope with the construction of a garage without the involvement of outside specialists.

For construction you will also need some tools. You should prepare in advance:

A screwdriver or electric drill with this function;
Plumb line, tape measure and building level (preferably laser or water level);
Welding inverter;
Angle grinder (grinder);
Metal scissors;
Shovel and bayonet shovels, crowbar;
Concrete mixer or container for mixing the solution (trough, bathtub, etc.);
Sledgehammer.

The main material for constructing a garage is corrugated sheeting. In addition to this, you will need the following materials:

Cement, sand, crushed stone and reinforcement for the base;
Steel corner 40x40 mm or profile pipe 40x20 mm for the frame;
Steel pipes with a diameter of 60 mm for the frame;
Additional elements (windproof strips, drainage system);
Self-tapping screws;
Boards for formwork;
Consumables (cutting wheels, nails, electrodes, wire, etc.).

Before purchasing all the necessary materials, you should first decide on the place where the car “house” will be located. For fire safety reasons, you should not build it close to residential buildings. This will also significantly reduce the amount of exhaust gases inhaled, especially during the warmer months.

Also, it is important to ensure unhindered exit of the car, so there should be free space in front of the gate, but at the same time it should not be too large, otherwise in winter you will have to spend too much effort on clearing snow debris.

The construction site itself should be relatively level to minimize the labor and financial costs of leveling it.

There are no strict urban planning standards of SNiP regarding garages made of corrugated sheets, but a number of recommendations must still be followed. So, for example, the distance between the building and the neighbor’s fence must be at least 1 m. This is necessary to ensure that water from the roof of the garage does not fall onto the neighbors’ property. As for the “red line”, it is not recommended to place the gate on the same level with it, since a distance of 5 meters must be maintained if the passage is the main one, and 3 meters if the passage is a side one.

When purchasing corrugated sheets, you should pay special attention. You will need corrugated sheeting marked “C”, which means “wall”. The option with the lowest cost is products marked C-8 (the second digit indicates the wave height, expressed in millimeters) and C-9.

However, this brand requires more frequent fastening, and is also quite noisy in windy weather, since its stiffness coefficient is relatively low. Optimal choice the S-20 corrugated sheet stands out. Also, corrugated sheeting varies in metal thickness; for a garage, 0.5 mm is quite enough.

Step-by-step process for building a garage

The whole process is slightly different from the progress of work with SIP panels.

The construction process itself begins with marking the area.

Remember that any construction must begin with design; draw a drawing of the future garage, as well as its location on the general plan of the entire site. This will help you think through all the details of construction and avoid possible mistakes.

You should be guided by the fact that a garage designed for one passenger car must be at least 6 meters long and 4 meters wide. Marking is carried out using wooden stakes or other suitable objects, which are stuck in the corners of the building, and a string stretched between them marks the location of the future walls.

Foundation structure

For a garage made of corrugated sheets, it has its own peculiarity, since in parallel with it, the installation of metal frame supports must also be carried out. As mentioned above, under the supports you should dig recesses 50x50x50 cm in the corners of the building. Next, steel pipes should be placed in them and driven with a sledgehammer to a depth in accordance with the construction plan.

Before this, the bottom of the trenches should be sprinkled with a layer of river sand 5-10 cm thick. The concrete solution must be poured in several passes, and in order to prevent the base from cracking over time, reinforcement must be laid.

Construction of an inspection pit

At the foundation construction stage, an inspection pit is also installed, if one is provided for in the plan. It must be positioned taking into account the size of the car.

To make it easier to use the pit, you can build steps, which should also be concreted. The edges of the pit must be reinforced with a steel angle, and in the future it can be used as a cellar for storing supplies. However, if the groundwater level is very high, then the construction of an inspection pit is not recommended.

Installation of the frame is the most critical stage of construction. It should be started only after the foundation has hardened, that is, no earlier than a week later. How to weld a frame for a garage? Now we'll tell you!

The already installed supports must be connected with cross members, for which a profile pipe of square or rectangular cross-section (40x20 mm or 40x40 mm) should be used. The number of crossbars depends on the height of the structure. The strapping also depends on the size of the corrugated sheets.

Sometimes wooden blocks are used as cross members. However, this is not very advisable, since wood is less durable compared to metal, and the amount of work also increases, since it will still not be possible to fasten the bars directly to the steel supports and you will have to weld metal plates to them and drill holes in them for self-tapping screws.

At the same stage, the entrance gates are assembled. Garage doors should be solid and heavy to prevent theft of property. The same profile pipe serves as the basis; when calculating the dimensions of the sashes, it is advisable not only to take into account the dimensions of the car, but also the width of the corrugated sheets. The gate will also need welded hinges, the size of which depends on the massiveness of the doors. Hinges with a diameter of 30 mm are standard. If necessary, you can use three hinges per sash. After completing the welding work, the entire metal frame must be painted with protective enamel.

If all previous stages of construction were carried out in accordance with the standards, then assembling the walls will not cause much difficulty even for very inexperienced craftsmen. The sheets must be secured in a vertical position, overlapping with a step between the screws of 300 mm in the lower part of the wave.

Corrugated roof

The garage roof can be made in two versions: single-pitch or gable. Or maybe a flat roof altogether. Depending on the chosen option, you should install the rafters from the same profile pipe. The angle of the roof should ensure timely removal of the snow mass, but at the same time fit harmoniously into the exterior of the garage.

After installing the rafter system, it is necessary to install the sheathing, the frequency of which directly depends on the angle of the roof slope; if it is more than 15 degrees, then it may not be completely continuous. If the slope is less than 15 degrees, then it is better to make the sheathing in a continuous row to prevent the roof from being pushed through by the snow mass.

Then along the perimeter of the roof it is necessary to install special windproof strips, which are steel sheets bent at an angle, which prevent precipitation from penetrating under the roof of the building.

It is worth considering this feature: on the lower edge of the roof, on which the drainage system is installed, the windproof strip should be attached so that its end falls into the drain.

The corrugated sheets themselves should be placed in waves parallel to the axis of the garage; this is necessary to ensure good water drainage and snow removal. You need to place a sheet of corrugated sheeting on top of the side windproof strip and align it along the edge of the roof, then attach it together with the strip to the sheathing. In the same way, you must continue attaching the sheets to the opposite end.
