No homeowner can do without structures such as outbuildings. Many build them even before building a house - they can store construction equipment, shelter from bad weather, and even spend the night in the warm season. But even if a house has already been erected on the site, the construction of outbuildings remains an urgent task, since a barn, workshop, summer kitchen or change house is always needed.
Such utility rooms are useful for storing any country items and materials, garden tools, equipment, bicycles and motor vehicles, etc.
Such non-residential buildings can be both blocked and detached.
Sustainability of land
For a modern person, in addition to functionality, outbuildings on a land plot also carry an aesthetic load. After all, who would like to see a strange structure in their yard that does not fit into the general view of the garden landscape? Suchutility rooms can be built with your own hands or you can purchase ready-made projects of outbuildings developed by specialists.
During construction, rational use of the site is of no small importance.
As for the location, outbuildings can be scattered around the site (made freestanding) or assembled under the same roof with the house, creating a "household block".
Garage
For most modern families, the car is the main assistant. Taking care of its safety requires an investment of money and effort. For this, garage projects are being developed, which can be a continuation of a residential building or stand separately. It can be cold or warm.
As practice shows, a car that has only a capital canopy and is blown from all sides is often more likely to last longer than a vehicle from a closed garage. In the latter version, the car stagnates faster, rust appears on it.
Boiler room
When building a house, it is always important to follow some safety rules, especially fire safety. Outbuildings with such requirements include a boiler room. In this room, it is necessary to properly distribute heat carriers, establish a hot water and heat supply system, and place an electric or gas boiler.
Bathhouse
Lovers of a real bath can not do without a project of such a wooden building. It is also important to comply with safety technology. Such an outbuilding can have completely different dimensions and design styles. For each project, an individual heating option is selected. When building a bath, special attention is paid to the location of the dressing room and the stove.
Greenhouse
Every real gardener is always interested in the question of building a greenhouse or greenhouse on his site. Even if the construction is supposed to be a capital building, it is also an economic object. The greenhouse in this case is built taking into account the possibility of ventilation and heating.
Barn
This is perhaps the most common outbuilding on the site. The projects of such buildings are simple, energy-intensive enough, they can be changed depending on the preferences of the owners and trends in design. The main thing that is based on when building a barn is its purpose. Most often, this room is used to store household items.
Pavilion
Not all outbuildings are only functional. So, the gazebo is considered a purely decorative structure, which is intended to receive aesthetic pleasure. It is important and appearance, and ease of placement.
Playground
Such an outbuilding for children is also called a playhouse. For families with small children, this is quite an important object. The well-being and he alth of babies are laid down in an atmosphere of beauty, usefulness and convenience. Children are veryit is interesting to have your own house for fun and games.
Outbuildings on the site: construction technology
When building a small or large structure, it is important to follow the basic technological principles. Any outbuilding consists of a frame, floor, roof, door, windows, sheathing.
- The base for the structure must be strong enough. This can be prepared level ground, cast-in-place concrete, or a laid wooden floor, such as in a cozy gazebo.
- Floors in the utility room must be reliable. Antiseptic-treated tongue and groove boards are perfect for this.
- The frame of outbuildings is being built according to a scheme prepared in advance, taking into account the purpose of the premises. Layout and dimensions may vary.
- The door should be comfortable enough for a mower, wheelbarrow, etc. to pass through.
- The number of windows in an outbuilding can be anything, depending on its purpose. In the shed, where only inventory will be stored, it is enough to install one window. And, for example, in a gazebo or a greenhouse, you simply cannot do without a large viewing window. It is important to note here that windows also serve a decorative function.
- A significant stage in the construction of utility facilities is the construction of the roof. This is a very important and visible design element for everyone. Modern roofing can have a different look and shape. It is made from different materials. It is usually made fromtongue-and-groove boards, then covered with roofing material. The main material is laid on top.
- Any outbuilding, be it a bathhouse, a barn or a playhouse for children, should have a complete look. In the construction of an auxiliary structure, such a final stage is sheathing. When using a special board, it is important to ensure its quality.
Conclusion
For a full life on your own personal plot, some important detail is often missing. It can become an outbuilding. Having erected the necessary auxiliary structure, the owner may feel some confidence. But here it is important not to overdo it. Any outbuildings on the plot must be functionally justified and be in place.
There are other important points that you should pay attention to when planning buildings. The erected buildings should have a convenient location. So, the summer kitchen or bath should be at a convenient distance from the house. It is advisable to “hide” farm buildings for animal breeding away. Greenhouses, on the recommendation of experienced gardeners, should be directed from east to west.
