Garage box is a necessary building for parking any vehicle. But often the owners are interested in questions about whether there are rules for its construction, how to install heating, etc. You should not engage in amateur activities, it is easier to arm yourself with useful information. The first is attention to the rules and laws, the recommendations of the masters and statistics.
What is covered in laws and regulations?
Don't look for the name "box" or "garage" in the rules, as there is no such thing. In order not to create separate articles, all these buildings were combined. You need to find a set of rules SP 113.133302012, this is the same edition as SNiP 21.0299, which contains recommendations for storing cars, called parking lots. This document has some explanations. People use them when creating a garage box.
There is a conditional classification of parking lots for vehicles. This does not include repair shops where professional work is being carried out. These rules for suchpremises do not apply. Also, parking of vehicles with dangerous goods does not need to be taken into account. In addition, a parking lot is an open or closed room, underground parking, garage.
From this it is easy to understand that the area can be any - as a full-fledged building, or part of it, or even an open area. It turns out that there are many solutions for car storage. So, a garage or a box can be:
- Freestanding.
- Attached or built into a building.
- On the ground or in-depth.
- On the water.
Basic definitions
It is believed that the name "garage" can have any building. Namely, standing alone or being a continuation of something. Another feature is that the car can stand and be serviced in a permanent building or a prefabricated one.
In order not to be mistaken, there are definitions of these constructions. The capital structure is the construction according to all the rules, the presence of a reliable foundation, full-fledged walls and a reliable roof. But if the car is in a light metal structure, insulated and additionally sheathed with special materials, then this is a modular garage. In any case, it should be quickly dismantled. It is difficult to call a building an immovable structure, but anyone can build it on their own.
When two people who own neighboring plots of land build a garage, after which they share it with a capital partition, then this can already be called boxes. It is important that this is a separate location in a largeroom. How to distinguish a simple garage from boxing? The latter implies the construction of a large area and division into small ones with the help of a capital partition.
Don't be confused that simple car parks cannot be called garages or boxes. Before you start building a garage box, you should understand the concepts, otherwise questions and problems arise.
What requirements are taken into account during construction?
The owner of a garage box must understand that construction work does not begin without a project. It is worth deciding how many cars will be in the temporary storage room. After receiving such information, most often design organizations do the work. Not every person without experience can do it competently.
If this is not just a shed, but a full-fledged place to store a car, then it is considered a floor, equipped with an emergency exit and fire fighting tools.
What else you should pay attention to:
- There must be enough space for the car to be completely safe. If the whole room is a garage box, then sometimes it contains not only a parking lot for a car, but also service rooms, sanitary facilities, a sink, etc. You need to build on the project.
- All dimensions and additional spaces are included in the design process. It is unacceptable to have shops and other outlets in the parking lot. Allowed rooms in the box must be separated by partitions.
- Not always in a car box, the separation of the car's location should be capital,mesh is allowed. In this case, the material must be selected non-combustible.
- According to the rules, the presence of lighting and heating of the garage box is not fundamental. It is important that fuel should not be stored with the car, there are separate rooms for this.
These are some of the adjustments that are taken into account before starting planning and construction.
Requirements
Any violation will prevent the building from getting the status of a garage box. Construction features are shown below.
- The height of the garage box is calculated depending on the largest car stored in it in the future. But such a design cannot be lower than 2 meters. This distance is fixed from the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling beam.
- Floors should not have a large slope, and should also be sensitive to accidentally spilled oil products.
- According to the rules, it is not difficult to build a garage box with several floors, but there are limitations. In this case, the number of exits must be equal to the number of cars in the parking lot.
- In such a room air ventilation should take place, otherwise it is forbidden to make capital partitions.
The Benefits of Boxing
Creating the conditions for the car, everyone gets a number of positives:
- Vehicles are protected from theft and other problems.
- Precipitation in the form of rain, hail and snow adversely affect the car, boxing can protect. It will also protect the car from temperature extremes.
- Having a "home" fora car is an opportunity to carry out an independent technical inspection and maintenance at any convenient time, regardless of weather conditions.
- Sometimes necessary things are stored in the boxes, but not fuel and lubricants.
There are enough pluses to plan the garage box and implement the project.
Cons
It's hard to imagine any project with only pluses. There are always negative sides, but you should try to minimize them:
- Additional building maintenance costs.
- Not every box is located near the house, so the meaning of such parking is sometimes lost.
- If the microclimate in such a building is unfavorable, then this affects the hardware of the machine.
There are not so many cons, so such designs began to appear more and more often in different places. Also, every year the number of personal vehicles increases, but it is more difficult to build a garage. And its further maintenance requires more money and effort.
What else to consider?
Even boxing for cars requires the right approach. Some nuances are definitely worth following:
- In order not to mount fire water in the box, it is worth installing automatic fire extinguishing units. It is convenient, and most importantly, effective in cases of sudden fire.
- There is a rule: if there are more than 50 boxes in one building, the water supply must be autonomous. Often such structures are inspected due to accidents.
- Boxes have different designs: several floors; more than five rooms; underground location. They must have an automatic fire extinguishing system.
Conclusion
So, we have considered the features of the construction of a garage box. Everyone must comply with the conditions during construction. When the idea of such a design implies a separate exit for each car, then there is no need to create fire extinguishing systems and an autonomous water supply. It is for this reason that the construction of a garage box must begin with careful planning.
