What tasks should perform well for the house

The main task of this design - the protection of water sources from foreign objects and dirt that can appear literally everywhere: leaves from trees, Dust and other debris, which can severely contaminate the well.

The open or closed design

for dwelling intake can be tightly closed on all sides with the door open, or when there is only a high wall and shed from rain and sun.

Open options are easier to implement.

But open option has its drawbacks. The first of them - unsafe device that does not impede a person or pet accidentally fall into the well. And the second - a well can freeze in the winter, as the open design does not retain heat.

They can be made insulatedAnd then, if you keep the door firmly closed, the water does not freeze in winter. The only drawback - the need for each time messing around with a door and a lock, but there are lots of options for how to make the process easier.

From what we can build a sump house

Options for model buildings

How does a typical house for the well:

• surface portion consisting of high fence;
• racks for mounting lifting gear;
• truss system roof;
• wall and the cover.

If the well closed, it is integral with the logs of the framework.

Here are some typical projects:

wooden houses

Modern wells are rarely present frame, i.e. those in which a log masonry sinks to the bottom. So they did in the old days. A problem of this log was to keep the wall from collapsing. Now the concrete and use plastic rings. They are sealed and durable.

It is the top ring is the basis for the construction of the house. Around the concrete products can build a log cabin, and he does not have to be strictly a square shape. The construction may be six, and octagonal. Such designs look great on a similar background in architecture houses. Log cabin can be made from timber, if you farmstead Scandinavian style.

stone wells

stone clearance - another promising option. It looks very colorful, especially if used large stones, natural, different size. Put them around the concrete base will not be difficult, but for a bunch of, you can use an ordinary grout. Oblitsevat well can fieldstone, pebble or conventional cobblestones.

Brick in the wall of the well

Brick house - it's always neat and beautiful. Particularly if they are made of the same brickAs your home. This masonry It requires certain skills, so it is better to entrust it to professionals. Facing brick in such constructions combine with metal doors and traditional roofing materials.

Metal and plastic

In the design of the water intake may well be used trapezoidal sheet. This will require to cook a carcass basis, which is fixed and metal. As an alternative to this embodiment - a plastic lining or siding. This lining can be mounted on a wooden frame.

An example of manufacturing the well house with their hands

Before proceeding directly to the construction of this object, you need to prepare the site. The most important point - withdraw from the melt-water wells. For this it is necessary to fill all of the voids around the protruding lands of the upper ring, which typically remain at the well installation. In addition, it is necessary to make the slopes to drain the water as far as possible from the water intake. The easiest option is to concreting section around the well. Concrete work is best done before the construction of the house for one reason: if you have a concrete pad is ready, you will be able to base the design on it, and if one is not, foundation It will only serve as a reinforced concrete ring, and this limits the possibilities of the builder.

Please note: from the house to the well must lead CausewayBecause will walk in all weathers need for water. The track must not be slippery.
