If you are going to do the arrangement of the local area, then you should choose the type of construction. This is especially true when it comes to a canopy. It is not always possible and willing to build a separate edition. Sometimes it is enough to install a canopy to ensure its practical use. With its help, it will be possible to equip a place for a cozy rest, store household items. The most critical step is the choice of material. The best solution would be corrugated board, which is durable and strong.
Dimensions
It is made of galvanized steel. Its thickness varies from 0.5 to 1 mm. During the manufacturing process, the material is covered with a protective layer of polymers. The standard dimensions of the paintings are as follows: width - from 80 cm to 1.1 m; length - from 2 to 6 m, height - from 8 to 130 mm. The last parameter is the distance that connects the two corrugations. Than itThe larger the product, the more voluminous it looks. If you decide to make a canopy from corrugated board, then it is better to choose a galvanized type of material than polycarbonate. It has higher rigidity. Differs in resistance to the loading arising because of pressure of thickness of snow. This fact acts as an important condition for the design of such a design.
For reference
When a hinged shed structure is assembled, it is important to ensure the correct angle of inclination. Otherwise, precipitation will be delayed, overloading the lightweight frame.
Canopy device
On sale today you can find ready-made sets of canopies. The consumer will only need to assemble the structure using the proposed drawings. In any case, the canopy will consist of a frame and a cover. For the first element, hardwood beams can be used. They are treated with special solutions. Steel profiles are an alternative solution.
The vertical load will act on the support. Therefore, for its manufacture, metal profiles 6 x 4 centimeters can be used. If the structure seems to be larger, then for reliability it is necessary to apply a section of 8 x 8 or 10 x 10 cm. The number of supports is easy to determine by calculating the gap between them equal to 1 m. In this case, the structure resting on the wall is not taken into account. When making a canopy from corrugated board, you will need to purchase material of the HC44 or HC35 brand, which will withstand heavy loads and providestock.
Canopy calculation
You can calculate the parameters of a carport by comparing the dimensions of the car and the parameters of the protective structure. Thus, if the vehicle has dimensions of 1.6 x 4.3 m, then the dimensions of the site should be 2.3 x 5.5 m. If we are talking about an SUV, then the parking area increases: 3.5 and 6.6 meters. The optimal height of the canopy is the one under which the car can fit with the trunk raised. However, if you make more than 2.3 m, then rain and snow will fall under the canopy.
Preparation of tools
In order to make a canopy from corrugated board, you need to prepare tools: a building level, a tape measure, a hacksaw, a screwdriver, a welding machine, galvanized self-tapping screws, a hammer, a screwdriver, a drill, a set of wrenches, bolts and mounting brackets.
Adjoining canopy installation technology
No matter what type of structure you choose, it will be considered a prefabricated structure. You can perform such work on your own, without resorting to outside help. For the manufacture of a shed structure, which is adjacent to the house, it will be necessary to prepare and calculate the area for construction. At the next stage, the site is leveled. After that, the soil is compacted, and holes for racks are dug around the perimeter. It is necessary to arrange the recesses in two rows, each of which will have 3 elements. Schematic you should get a rectangle.
When a canopy is being made from corrugated board, the next step will be to install the racks. They should deepen below the freezing line of the soil. Cement mortar is poured into the hollow space, after which you should wait for it to dry completely. With the help of mounting angles and self-tapping screws, the cross beams are strengthened to the racks. The angle of inclination must be corrected by the difference in the length of the opposite supports.
The frame is covered with a primer. You should wait for it to dry, and then apply a layer of paint. Next, sheets of material are laid, while overlapping in one wave should be observed. Sheets are reinforced with self-tapping screws to the transverse beams. Approximately 7 galvanized self-tapping screws and a rubber gasket will be required per square meter, which will prevent damage to the protective coating.
Recommendations for making an alternative canopy adjacent to the wall
Shed sheds made of corrugated board, which are adjacent to the wall, can be made according to a simplified scheme. In doing so, you will need to ensure the presence of several basic elements, among them:
- support;
- outer columns;
- vertical posts;
- crate;
- framework;
- drainage.
The beam will act as a support. It is connected to the load-bearing wall with anchors. The support is the main element. Therefore, it assumes a reliable fastening. External columns - vertical supports, which will be subject to the total load. They can be made from a profile or asbestos-cement pipe. Sometimes a square bar is used. For each such rack, it will be necessary to build a foundation in the form of a concrete base. In all cases, it is important to remember that it should not lie above the depth of soil freezing. Otherwise, deformation of the frame cannot be avoided.
When a corrugated board carport is being made, a Mauerlat is laid on external vertical racks or pipes. It is a cross bar. Acts as a support for the rafters. A canopy crate is fixed across. It is made of boards or thin slats. Above is a corrugated board. Its connection to the frame is made with screws or bolts. Drainage from a plastic pipe is installed if necessary. If the lower edges of the structure are above the ground or lawn and do not create inconvenience, the drain is a mandatory part.
Features of the construction of a detached canopy
The corrugated shed in the yard can stand separately. To do this, you need to build a foundation and build a crate. After marking the territory, support pillars are installed, the distance between which should be 30 cm. The holes are dug 30 cm deep. However, with an increase in the height of the pillars, it is necessary to drive them deeper into the ground. As in the case described above, each support is filled with mortar. To install the frame, you will need metal pipes. In the process of drying the foundation, you can do the welding of the crate. Logs are mounted first,which will play the supporting role of the frame. They are welded to reinforcing bars, treated with an anti-corrosion agent, and, if necessary, welded seams are painted. After the frame is made, you can proceed with the installation of corrugated sheets.
The material that has a polymer coating is easier to install and has a longer service life. In addition, it is more resistant to vibration and precipitation. When sheds are made of corrugated board in the courtyard of a private house using this technology, the sheets must be installed using fasteners with rubber gaskets. The overlap in this case can be from 4 to 6 cm. If we are talking about shed structures, then it can be 4 cm. Parking car canopies are usually reinforced with stiffeners. This is especially true when wall decking is used instead of a universal one.
Cost
Sheds made of corrugated board, the price of which is calculated according to the materials used and the dimensions of the structure, can cost the consumer 1,500 rubles. per square meter. When ordering such a structure from specialists, you can not limit yourself in the forms of overlap. The design can be arched, one- or two-slope, adjacent to the wall or freestanding. If you want the adjacent corrugated canopy to last longer, then it is best to abandon the wooden frame, replacing it with a metal one. But even this material is subject to corrosion with improper care. Therefore, one should askhow the company's specialists prepare supports and poles, as well as the constituent elements of the roof.
If you yourself want to make such a structure, then you can choose pipes with a diameter of 8 cm as supports. Do not use those whose length exceeds 3 m. It is important to choose the right product depending on the thickness of the pipe walls. The greater the expected load on the canopy, the greater this parameter should be. You can make a canopy from corrugated board with blank side walls. This will allow the design to be used not only for the car, but also for summer gatherings during the rain.
