People who own a car build or purchase a garage on a private lot. A garage in a private house can be located on the adjacent territory or be built into the house. But before deciding which is better, this issue is studied comprehensively.
Each stage of construction has positive and negative sides. People with experience say one thing, in practice it sometimes turns out differently. Is it possible to do without a garage? How to make it convenient and comfortable? The answers to these questions help you make the right decision and build the right structure.
Is this building necessary?
Everyone asks the question: why make such a structure? There are several reasons:
- When it's cold outside, you can leave the house and immediately get into the car. Convenience is one of the first things citizens pay attention to. But at the same time, there are some disadvantages (in particular, this applies to the built-in garage). This includes the noise that will occur when the car is started. The problem is solvable - it is enough to createsoundproofing. The second nuance is the flow of exhaust gases. A forced ventilation system is indispensable. Inflammable items are often stored in the garage, which poses a danger to the home.
- Storing a car in a garage is good for its condition. Paint coatings are prone to fading and cracking. Sudden temperature changes lead to the formation of condensation on metal structures, which is fraught with the formation of rust. In the garage, the car is completely safe.
- The garage can be a great place to store related tools. This is the opinion of many, often erroneous. Because for tools, wheels and other components it is required to create the necessary microclimate. The car drives in, leaves, gets caught in rain and snow. All this increases the level of humidity. To store additional things, you will have to think about a separate room.
- Every man wants to have a garage on his property because there is something to do in it.
From the above information, we can draw some conclusions and note the advantages of building a separate, combined garage. People think about this at the stage of planning a house, they think through every moment so that they don’t have to change anything afterwards.
Built-in
A garage in a private house is a necessary space, although its purpose is extensive. The garage built into the house has disadvantages:
- We'll have to create additional protection against noise, heat output.
- The wall adjacent to this building will have no window.
- Neededadditional entrance to the house.
Positives:
- The car and the entire arsenal are under lock and key.
- Shortening the way from home to car.
- The boiler room and technical room can be located in the garage, freeing up useful squares in the house.
- No additional area needed on site.
Separate
The downside of a separate garage is that you have to build the entire structure from scratch, bring the required communications, and these are expenses.
Positives:
- No installation of forced ventilation and noise insulation required.
- Dirt will not get into the house.
- Snow removal is minor.
- If the gate faces the street, then it is easier to open it.
- After the garage, you can build a second floor for a workshop.
And another option is a simple canopy. Its cost is insignificant, and the protective function is full.
Reviews of people are very different: everyone takes into account personal needs, the dimensions of their car and their number in the family. If the garage is built-in, and there are two cars in it, the ventilation load is large. It is important for others to immediately get into a warm car from home without going outside. There are many opinions, and everyone decides for himself which garage to build in a private house.
Studying the advantages and disadvantages, we must not forget about the rules prescribed in the SNiP. Only after that the building will meet the requirements and last for many years. They have rules about fire safety and the location of everything you need.
Important points
To make it convenient for a person to use the parking of his car, it should be located within 500 meters. When choosing the size of a garage or any other building, it is worth remembering that mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles can appear in a personal fleet, they also need space. For the construction of a one-story building, a calculation is taken - 30 meters per unit of equipment.
There are standards for a garage in a private house that meet all safety requirements. One of them is fire, as this happens most often. Several classes are prescribed in the SNiP documents, depending on the location of the structure:
- The first category is buildings that are located on private plots. But they are not always classified as explosive classifier.
- The second category, which includes private buildings of cooperative ownership. For them, it is worth performing the distribution according to the level of explosion and fire. Because such garages are equated with warehouses.
- Third group - parking lots. It all depends on the number of cars inside. They can be very different in size and location. Equipment is being installed inside to create fireproof conditions.
- Garage boxes. Here you should pay attention to the substances used inside - gasoline, lubricants and disinfectants. In addition, a responsible person for safety precautions is appointed. Protectivedevices and fireproof structures.
Required?
The SNiP has a maximum list of requirements for building a garage in a private house. Although the management of the regions has its own additions to the rules and regulations. It is allowed to violate the requirements, because there is no punishment, and the norms are advisory in nature for the owners of structures.
Pay attention
According to the advice of experts, you should always adhere to the legality of the construction of any buildings, even on your site. Because neighbors may have grievances, at this point, compliance with the rules will come first. Neighbors are suing, which can force the demolition of buildings with gas contamination and harm to he alth. SNiP have been developed and are in demand for many years, they take into account all the nuances.
Distance indicators according to the rules
To avoid problems with neighbors, performing individual developments on your site, you need to follow simple rules:
- The distance from the windows of a residential building in the neighborhood is at least six meters. When ignited, this is enough to prevent the fire from spreading to the house.
- At least one meter from any nearby structures. The car should not interfere with anyone.
- If there is a house on the site, the distance from it to the garage must be at least three meters. The main part of such decisions is made due to fire safety. The fire truck must pass to the source of fire without hindrance.
- The site fence is not in last place, because behind itthe building of neighbors can be located. The current and recommended distance is one meter.
Sometimes, when obtaining a building permit, architects take into account these distances and may not give the go-ahead. Therefore, before starting to build a garage, all parameters are calculated.
Features of the modern building
The height of a garage in a private house can reach two floors. This has its limitations:
- The distance on the site between outbuildings is at least one meter.
- Electricity and communications are supplied to the residential sector, so there is a red line - five meters to it. Breakdowns happen and repair services should be readily available. According to the norms, the height of the garage in a private house should be from 1.8 to 3 meters.
- Gate to the garage are mounted taking into account a three-meter distance from the road.
Taking into account the norms of SNiP, a project of a private house with a garage is being created. Such conditions will eliminate any misunderstandings with services and neighbors. What is considered the starting point of a structure? Experts believe that this is a plinth, provided that the roof does not have an elongated eaves. Otherwise, they are measured by creating a projection onto the ground from the eaves. Recommendations apply to garages standing on the foundation. Temporary buildings include:
- Canopies.
- Iron structures.
- Frame.
Because they can be moved at any time. There are rules in SNiP from which to deviateit is forbidden. Above are photos of garages in private houses that were built according to the rules.
There are situations that permit construction with violations. For example, when the size of the garage in a private house is larger than the norm. Every moment needs to be coordinated with the neighbors, because people have the right to live in convenience.
