Material description
In houses made of natural wood it is comfortable to live and breathe easily. The construction of a log house using classical technology is not an easy task, which has serious disadvantages. A beginner will not cope with it, but it will cause a lot of trouble for professionals.
Wood is prone to warping, cracking and shrinkage. Therefore, an alternative called a mini-beam appeared on the Russian markets. It is easy to install and costs much less than a regular tree. It is not surprising that this material has gained popularity among owners of country houses and summer cottages in a short time. The mini-beam looks like an ordinary planed board with a standard thickness of 45 mm and a width of 140 mm.
Cabinets fromminibars will transform the summer cottage. They are easy to collect. In addition, the material has the following properties:
- compactness;
- environmentally friendly;
- light weight parts;

It is imperative to make markings on the site with pegs and rope. To make the sides even, it is worth checking the length of both diagonals. Then a trench is dug out for pouring the foundation, covered with rubble and sand, concrete pillars are installed.
Frame, roof and floor

You can choose any design that you like. At the initial stage, the most important thing is the control of the walls being erected, directly perpendicular to the base of the structure.
After the top trim, it is necessary to attach the ceiling bars to it. You get a roof frame, which is first covered with a layer of plywood, and already on top with the selected roofing material - tiles or slate.
The floor is best covered with an ordinary planed board. It is recommended to lay the bars under the flooring every 30 cm so that the flooring does not sag and can withstand significantload.
