Canopy to the country for the machine: types, materials, how to make the most

If a family has a car, and dacha certainly will. How else? Is it possible to deny myself the pleasure on weekends and holidays to relax in the countryside? How and what to do with their hands carport to the country? What are the advantages of an open canopy in front of the closed garage? On the other questions seek answers in our material.

Introduction: carports, features and nuances

Zealous owner knows that you can not put the iron horse stall in a safe, not long serve it faithfully. Direct sunlight, rain, snow storm - all this affects the state of the vehicle body. A hull repairs now not cheap.

Easy and inexpensive way out - the construction of shelters for cars. The most simple construction can be made independently. Drawings can be composed himself, based on the portion sizes and the machine size.

Tip! The optimum height of the canopy for the car - two and a half meters. Under this canopy will go even jeep expedition boot. Places on the machine enough.

The length and width of the roofed section is calculated in accordance with dimensions of the iron horse. Add half a meter from the sides and length. This is the minimum area that you want to allocate to the machine.

Buildings options:

• freestanding structure at the entrance to the gate or in the yard;
• extension to cabins, Barn or garage;
• an extension to the residential structure with access to the house (or projects cantilever girder supporting adjacently);
• prefabricated metal structures with an awning fabric. This folding module that can be assembled and disassembled as needed anywhere.

What should guide the choice of shelter to the country by car?

Suburban canopy frame can be made of shaped tube, brickfrom boards and logs. If provided collapsible device is only appropriate rack of metal.

For roof in most cases, used corrugated board, awning, can be coated with Ondulina or slate. Soft roof It requires continuous crate. Transparent polycarbonate - an elegant solution, which complement your site. Metal roofing typically used if the canopy adjacent to a house, and it prolongs the main roof.

Location carport at their summer cottage

In fact, not so easy to decide where to place the parking for cars on the site. On the one hand, it is convenient if the shelter is located right at the entrance. No need to steer between flower beds. On the other hand, if, for example, rain on the street, you have to run from the shed to the house under a cold shower. If there is a family of two machines shelter located in the depths of the site will create additional difficulties for parking.

Tip! Canopy, located along the fence to the cloister before entering the house - a great idea for those who do not want to get wet in the rain.

Carport in front of the garage: a compromise

For those who argue that it is better: a shed or garage, there is a compromise - a garage with a shed. Of course, if the site area will allow all this place. But in most cases the garage to give - not the desired structure. If there is a question or a garage pond - better to choose a pond. Experienced motorists argue that under a canopy iron horse feels better than cheese indoors. Is there any sense to build heated garage in the country?

Tip! Canopy can be arranged so that, if necessary, you can install three or four walls, if you make them out of the light shields in the form of an accordion, or on the basis of a coupe.

Owners of large portion of luck. They can afford to garage and carport in front of him. In this arrangement also has advantages:

• At night you can put the car into the garage, and if the day patrols are coming, keep it under cover;
• carport for two cars come in handy if the cottage were guests;
• if you install a canopy between the garage and the house, it can be used as a summerhouse in rainy weather, there is a table cover or install brazier.

Tip! The space above the garage can also be used. On the roof you can place the open gazebo. From the height of the structure will open a great view of the garden.

Carport, Attached Garage: photo examples

The convenient location shed next to the house? First of all, the adjacent annex building is next to the entrance, so that in order to get things in the car or just warm up the engine before leaving, do not need to cross the entire court.

several methods can be used to secure the roof:

• Knee-support system It consists of bearing brackets fixed directly on the wall of a building;
• girder support structure It consists of struts and horizontal supports fixed to the wall;
• console mountWhich is only suitable for very light sheds coated with an awning.

The simplest design - open canopy. It is not necessary to wrestle with how to build this uncomplicated design. Simply install two racks at the desired distance from the house and connect them to the outer wall of the building sloping beams. Then there will be only set the ties and lay roofing material.

How to fix the beams to the wall? metal corners can be used for this purpose and anchor bolts.

Important! annex roof should have a slope for the smooth flow of rainfall.

The height of the front legs can not be less than two meters, if you have a conventional sedan and not less than two and a half, if the SUV.

The second embodiment - semiclosed. In this case, a visor so that the machine had room for two or even three walls. Such a structure is installed in homes having z-shape or a wall adjacent to the fence. Closed on two sides ground less windy and protected against driving rain.

Private carport at the house - this is a full garage. The walls can be made of brick, Sandwich panels or polycarbonate. If the site is located in a region with hot climate, it is convenient if the walls of sliding.

Features shelters for 2 cars

In order to accommodate space for two cars, you need to find a suitable place. Large canopy can completely close house facadeThis is not always a good option. To set the required minimum of six racks, and the reliability may be required, and a dozen feet.

Tip! If you plan to shelter for two cars, provide entry from different angles. So it will be more convenient to park and leave.

The dimensions of the site under the two cars should be not less than 8 to 6.

Another caveat - the large canopy must not be supported by the center. This will prevent the free parking maneuver.

Comfortable design with hozblok. It is possible to store spare parts, tools for repair and other necessary stuff.

The covered carport

Roof mounted structures are some of the features to be aware of:

Pent		The primitive structure with pent roof is suitable for any site. The optimum slope of the roof - from fifteen to thirty degrees. On such a roof can be laid any roofing material.
gable		Buildings with gable roofs are more practical and can cover a large area. They are suitable in the case, if you need to connect the roof to the main building.
Arch		Complex form requires a special approach to the construction works. For its production required metal bearing arch curved shape. The difference in the upper and lower arches point - at least sixty centimeters

Covering the roof can be different roofing materials. The most commonly used polycarbonate and corrugated board.

Both of these materials are available at a price. They can not afford any developer. In addition, they are resistant to fire, and this is an important factor for the motorist.

Another common advantage of these materials - strength and durability. The service life of such a roof - not less than fifteen years.

What distinguishes these materials? Metal strongly heated in the sun, polycarbonate partially transmits light and is heated. Metal roof is very "noisy." During rain water roar will be heard in the house. But she was not afraid of large hail. But polycarbonate may scatter into fragments.

Awnings made of polycarbonate for cars

Thus, the benefits are clear polycarbonate. Products of aesthetically pleasing look and protects against sun and rain. Price of the material available to most gardeners. Polycarbonate roof for shelter under the car is easy to do with their hands.

How to choose the thickness of the polycarbonate? The canopy over the machine must be solid, so very thin sheets are not suitable. Strengthen a thin sheet can be only part of the crate, and it will not add to the beauty product and significantly increase its value. Thin panels four millimeters thick are suitable only for light greenhouses to the country and other similar structures.

Tip! For a canopy for 2 cars need a sheet of sixteen millimeters thick. You can use the eight millimeter plastic for vertical walls of the garage.

For better protection against UV radiation should be used matte sheet.

In the photo options canopies:

Note! Design of plastic can be of any roof, straight, arched or wavy. It should be noted that at the undulating roof of the fall will accumulate fallen leaves, and winter - snow.

The roof made of polycarbonate is convenient by the fact that she put one sheet and has no cracks and joints, requires no overlaps. Racks for parking on one or two machines are made of timber and metal.

How to make a roof made of polycarbonate:

• between the bars batten should leave a distance of seventy centimeters;
• the length of the sheet workpiece to be ten to fifteen centimeters length longer bases;
• polycarbonate cut Bulgarian aluminum with a saw, for cutting the protective film is not removed;
• when laying a protective film material upwardly;
• The connection is performed by means of bolts, washers and screws;
• securely and enhance the special glue;
• polycarbonate construction protects the edges aluminum tape.

Tips for installation of polycarbonate in the following video:

How to care for polycarbonate:

• Wash and wipe plastic products soft sponge and plain water.
• Can not be used to clean the polycarbonate harsh chemicals and abrasives.
• Roofing sheets are stored on rolls in an upright position. When storing the film is not removed.

Carport made of corrugated board

Coverage of trapezoidal sheet high strength differs. Installation of the roofing can be made with your own hands.

Thin sheet weighs relatively little for such a pass is not required manufacturing reinforced frame. When this steel is excellent withstand rapid temperature fluctuations and do not emit any toxic substances in the atmosphere.

Metal canopy for the car will sustain greater snow loads and large hail. With correct assembly the sheets do not rust and permanently retain owl colored coating.

Best Practices for trapezoidal sheet:

1. For fixing, use screws with special sealing rubber or silicone washers. Such a seal will not pass moisture to the site of the puncture metal and prevent rust development.
2. metal trim lines treated soil and a protective paint.
3. All weld metal construction parts are also primed and painted over.
4. corrugated sheets stacked "overlapping" manner. Screws are screwed only into the upper point of the wave.
5. For sheeting sufficiently batten spacing of one meter.

Carport of metal

main feature metal - rigid surface. This should be considered in the design drawings and installation with their own hands. Most often the choice in favor of metal do in the event that the canopy is attached to the house and its roof is an extension of the main building roof.

Design drawings in this case must be very careful. Any defect lead to excessive consumption of material.

Tip! Professionals do not recommend to cover the roof with metal with powder paint. It does not form solid protective film that protects the metal from corrosion.

Do not use the canopy sheets longer than three and a half meters. Too long sheets bend and exert a heavy load on the fasteners.

Important! On the roof of the metal is not used for sealing the polyurethane foam.

The bi sheds assembling sheets begin with an end portion, and a tent designs - with the highest point of the ramp.

At the edge of the cornice should be left about lap ten centimeters. For fixing the sheet to the batten it is preferred to use screws. It is convenient to use for this purpose Cordless with a nozzle. Per square meter must be installed six - eight fasteners.

Materials frame carport

The framework for the canopy can be made of different materials: wood, Metal, concrete, brick, Natural stone. The main thing - to its appearance organically fit into the overall architectural ensemble. Let us consider the basic materials.

Sheds made of wood

Wooden frames car shelters, constructed and properly handle their own hands, stand for the country for decades. The advantages of a wooden frame:

For the manufacture of the covered package for use dachina wooden frame bar section 15 by 15 centimeters. This is sufficient for strength. You can use a simple bursae, or laminated timber - it all depends on your budget and the features of the project. In the photo are several options uni-directional and bi-directional designs from a tree:

On the Internet you can find plenty of advice on how to install the wooden poles so that the structure was strong and durable. The next video will tell you how to make a canopy:

Covered metal machines

The metal frame is not so easy to install with their hands, such as wood. For its assembly required welding machine with universal electrodes. Cut parts need grinder with a disc of metal. Still need a drill with a diamond drill. If you confidently own all of these tools, the job will not take long.

The advantages of a metal frame:

Frameworks require metal profile pipe diameter of 8 centimeters to four poles and - for lathing. It can be used in the construction of steel corner. For the carcass stiffness using iron gussets.

Important! The joints between the uprights and the frame battens to be welded around the perimeter.

It can be made from a metal graceful arched structure. Such work will require additional tools and skills, but Worth It.

How to make a metal shed in this video is the story:

Carport with their hands

Carport for cars in the country with their own hands for the machine can be made in just a single day. It's not hard. To simplify the task, you can do it on screw pile-foundationUsing piles as the rack. To install these poles for shelter in the country will require three people. Two screwed pile, and the third ensures that the support was included in the ground vertically. The convenient screw piles? First of all, the fact that they are easy to install. Also, if you need to attach the canopy to the existing building in the yard, this method does not hurt him foundation. Attached to the house is covered parking for screw piles are very easy to perform.

Council! If the house is coated with facing bricks, and metal studs can impose the same material. This would require to make the shallow foundations under the posts.

How to twist the screw piles in the following video the plot:

Lathing on the pile support can be welded from metal corner. The final version of the framework is simple and will not look luxurious, but does not require capital investment and will be strong enough.

Another budget option for the construction of the yard - from timber. How to build a shed by a car out of wood? First, build a frame. To install, you need to clear the land in the garden or around the house from debris and vegetation. After leveling the ground is marked by means of ropes and pegs in accordance with the drawing.

To the ends of the beams do not rot from moisture in the ground, they must be carefully prosmolit and wrap in several layers of roofing material.

Poles installed in the ready-hole hammer Booth space is filled or gravel and pour concrete.

Tip! Parking area and the entrance to it is better to concrete or covered with paving slabs. Otherwise, in the rain or during snow melt machine will get bogged down in the mud.

How to make Floor of pavement tiles:

• On the platform is removed the upper layer of soil approximately 10-15 centimeters.
• At the bottom is poured gravel over half the height of the pit,
• On the gravel is laid geotextile. Subsequently bedding fabric will not allow weeds to germinate and will prevent spillage of sand.
• It poured on geotextile sand-cement mixture. Laid out on a flat surface tile. Between elements should be no more than three seams millimeters.
• On deck ready shatters all the same sand-cement mixture and hammered into the joints with a broom or a broom.
• Playground abundantly watered. Thus the spread is not only packing a place for cars, but also for garden tracks, Floors summerhouse and the area in front of the house.

Returning to the question of how to make holiday canopy - an addition to the machine, we note that after curing concrete around the racks need to make a strong upper stud. It will be the basis of truss construction.

The roof can be a pent or gabled, whichever you prefer.

Important! All the elements of wooden structures should be treated with the composition of the rot and insects. Would do well to use fire retardant additive.

Cut edges of roofing material be covered with paint or lacquer for protection against corrosion and then produce folding. For fixing profiled sheet is best to use galvanized screws. In the photo the scheme how to install roof elements:

How can I save and cheap to build a roof over the villa parking? Manufacture roof and can be out of scrap materials. For example, you can use the old banner. From the banner get sealed roof, reliably protects the car from rain and sun. Not very aesthetically pleasing, but it is inexpensive.

Where can I buy a carport

Not everyone has the time and opportunity to engage in construction in the country. In this case, the work can be ordered from contractors offering services in this area. In such firms, you will be offered several options for standard projects. In addition, in fact, covered parking under the car, you can offer to the construction of an extension to the house or hozbloka with a canopy. In most cases, manufacturers use a metal frame and a cover made of polycarbonate. But you, as a customer, you can decide for themselves what to make of the frame and the cover your parking.

You can buy an individual project. Creating such a project will not cost, since such structures are different primitive device (only if it is not a two-storey barn with canopy).

What is the cost to the country to establish such a structure? Price with installation starts from fifty thousand small shelters made of solid timber. The cost may increase depending on the complexity of the design and the presence of additional parts.

summing up

So shed - one of the most simple, but very necessary buildings for the suburban area. It can be made using a metal or wood. The dimensions of the design must fit the vehicle. Placing the canopy depends on the characteristics of your site.
