Probably everyone knows that the porch in any house must have functionality, as well as harmoniously fit into the exterior of the building, because it is precisely the business card. There are many different options as it is better to implement the construction of a porch for a private house. All this directly depends on your taste, the selected material and the total budget. With all this it can be easily said that it is quite realistic to build a durable and durable porch.
The porch itself consists of fully open site, often together with the staircase, located in front of the entrance to the house. It can be absolutely any form, as desired with a canopy and even without, as well as made of different materials.
In principle, the whole structure of the porch can be divided into three types:
1. Attached;
2. Built-in;
3. Simple.
What do they differ?
Simple - this is a common platform along with steps and be sure to a canopy. During the assembly of this type of the porch with their own hands, the fill is the fill of the foundation, since it is necessary even for a simple design of a tree porch.
The built-in porch is originally designed together with the house, so capital is built.
The attached type externally does not have any differences with the built-in option, the only thing is a bit modified and a little rebuilt. Plus, you can easily attach the porch with your own hands by means of a small alteration.
Remember! For any porch, the foundation is required, it is it that prevents the slightest deformation of the steps during seasonal changes in temperatures.
The most important thing is that the main foundation of the porch to the house should be similar to the foundation of the house. If this is not the case, then during the sediment of the soil, winter frosts, your design is simply simply deformed. It is also possible that during the sediment of the soil your design will move towards the house and then the first thing will suffer the foundation of the porch, since it is less than massive. To fix this situation, small repair It will not be enough and you will have to rebuild it again.
Since the glazed porch is not intended for housing, and there are no huge furniture there, that is, the ability to use the usual concrete pillow, which will be as the foundation itself.
However, when choosing concrete, any brick (white, red) or facing stone, the foundation should be reinforced. The fact is that this design has a much larger on the base itself, rather than a wooden porch to the house.
Arrange the foundation for the porch with your own hands you need to start directly from the markup. First, define the rectangular area of \u200b\u200bthe desired size, the main thing is not to forget that the porch itself is obliged to fit here. Then, in each corner of the rectangle, you should score piles and then start digging the cape along the contour. Its depth should be no less than the main foundation.
Tip! No need to lay the foundation very deeply. Of course, the load during the limit of the foundation will be slightly smaller, but to avoid them completely, with the slightest sediment of the soil or sharp changes in temperature, simply impossible.
If you decide to install a visor over the porch, then the installation of supports, the rectangle itself should be increased by 20-30 cm from all sides, and the piles can be clogged after the end of the roof of the porch.
To perform the planned, it will be necessary to leave small rectangles of non-added area (approximately 20x20, possibly 30x30 cm) at points where the support will be installed a little later. Then you need to drill wells necessarily on each site, it is good to install a support, to drive it as much as possible and be sure to thoroughly pour concrete.
In this case, the formwork is very well suitable, although if the soil is stony, then it is possible in principle without it. To make it, you can use absolutely everything - chipboard, wood-layered stove and ordinary boards, which were superfluous after construction. The main thing remember that plywood (wood-layered plate) and chipboard are sufficiently hygroscopic, so during rains, lifting groundwaterThey will start quickly crawling, which is why, after concrete freezes, it is recommended to remove the formwork.
The remaining trimming of boards, which are coniferous breeds, do not throw away, because lumber of this tree have only positive features: after complete water intake, they become much stronger and retain their elasticity.
Tip! If there is a strong deformation in the soil, for example, if your home is on the slope or on the mountain, then the coniferous formworks are triggered as a damper.
The most important and most important element with the construction of the foundation of the porch with their own hands is waterproofing. In order to equip it, you need to lay the bottom in the bottom in the pit, and then the entire surface inside the formwork. Reinforcement is performed using high quality bricks to which it is necessary to put the grid and secure the lattice in advance prepared pieces of fittings.
Similarly to this principle, the boobs are filled with several layers, which include bricks together with the grid, and then completely poured with concrete this design. To avoid the formation of emptiness, followed after each bold layer to tamper it carefully shovel.
Tip! To make a good tamper concrete, it is better to purchase an electric liberator if you do not have it, then take it for rent.
Due to the fact that concrete dries somewhere around a week, it will take immediately to align the surface of the foundation and be sure to cover up the rubberoid with an overlap approximately 50-60 cm from each edge, you can also take a conventional construction film. They will help protect the surface layer from any rain, as a large amount of water can make it quite fragile in the future, and then your foundation is simply spoiled.
If there is a need, you can cut the top in the finished bar, then the piles will be at the same level. But the height of the supports try to count on the input door, so the height difference must be about 5 cm. Lags are attached using self-tapping screws or dowels - it depends on the material of your wall.
Often for the construction use traditional materials:
- wood;
- white, red brick;
- facing stone;
- metal;
- high-quality concrete.
How to make a porch of wood with your own hands? To date, this is the most common material for building. This is due to the fact that the tree is quite simple in the manufacture and therefore build the porch with their own hands is quite easy and quickly. For this, it is enough just to have a circular saw in stock (you can the most common, but it must be with the smallest teeth, it will help very help in accuracy), a special construction kit and skillful hands.
The ideal material has been considered a larch, after it there is spruce and other conifers. Each of them is very durable and easy to handle. The most interesting thing is that at the end of the impregnation, the material that is made of them is practically nothing is inferior to an oak or some other rocks that are several times toddling.
It is important to remember! To work with solid elements, you will need a good skill, the necessary tools and the most important thing - specific knowledge in this area. For example, the quality of drying material from oak can be determined exclusively to the pilot joiner.
First of all, it will be necessary to make Kosogor (Kosur). Since it is not very practical to make a porch to a wooden house with your own hands with a width of less than 120 cm, then you will need not less than three beams. Best of all, if the distance between them is about half a meter, so you will be much easier.
This approach will help to provide your porch strength, and the main durability of the design made on its own, regardless of how often the staircase is used and from what weight load.
You need to know! Kosourg is called the carrier beam, in which the teeth are drinking, it is she who plays an important role inside the backup. The steps are preferably laying only on the horizontal edges of these most teeth.
The string (it is also called the inclined beam) must necessarily be several times the thicker of the Kourow itself. They are connected with the help of transverse beams. At the end between them, the desired number of cososov is fixed.
You will definitely need a square to cut the ribs and make smooth steps. The emptiness between the teeth, even if it is 5-6 mm, will quickly provide steps a little snack on one side and bloating on the other. Sharp changes in temperature will significantly increase the difference in levels of levels of steps.
It is customary to do the widths of the steps to do the dimensions of the adult foot, but it is better to take with a reserve, it is about 40 cm. The height between each step (riser) does not need to do more than 20 cm.
It should be remembered that the number of steps must necessarily be odd and one additional edge should be provided for this. At four steps and more, it will take to make the railing for the porch to the house.
With a glazed porch and reliably covered staircase from moisture, you can do without a sweep of steps. However, if the staircase is located outside, then the sink is simply necessary, since thanks to him the water will leather on the lower step, and not between them in the risk.
Tip! Already ready stairs It should be installed on a special principle that the stake plane is a bit with a slope (about 1-2 cm). It will help water to drain down, and not accumulate and form frightened.
The design is installed directly on a pre-prepared platform, which is the foundation. To make your porch to the house as strong as possible, you should install the staircase exactly in the foundation, where the lower beam has previously laid along with Kosomers. Also using it you can sell a small deepening if the concrete is not fully frozen. So you get enough durable emphasis.
For flooring in the top platform, you can take the material that was used for the stairs. In this case, there is only one requirement: the widest and long boards are recommended, which only exist, and the joints are made as accurate as possible. When the boards are most fit as much as possible to each other, you can not be afraid of deformation, even if all the tree will start to expand over time.
It will take about 3 to 7 days of work to equip the porch of the tree with your own hands. It all depends on the size of your site, from the stairs and of course from the skills of work directly with the tree, however, the newcomer can also cope with it. The most important thing is to divide the work on the steps and perform everything alternately, adhering to the recommendations and instructions.
How to make a porch made of metal? The porch, which is made of metal has a very large plus - it is mounted in about a few hours if you can apply electric welding in operation. In addition, the metal design will cost several times cheaper, if not buying wrought elements. However, there are also cons - you will have to collect a standard porch with your own hands, and therefore it will not look very beautiful and original in contrast to others. If you want to make a beautiful porch with your own hands, you can buy forged products, but they will need to wait until 4 weeks (it all depends on the volume of your order).
Do not be upset if the budget is limited, because even a primitive staircase from the metal can be made very impressive and beautiful, the main thing for this is a desire and fantasy. For the easiest option, channels, corners and necessarily filling material are used. They can be: porcelain stoneware, wood or chipboard.
For ordinary metal porch Be sure to need two chapellery of the same length. They are attached parallel to each other by the distance, which is equal to the size of the steps. After that, there are angles and cut them as the same length as the steps, but at the same time adding several centimeters along the edges for overlaying the welding seam.
In the same way, small pieces are cut off from the corners and these two segments are welded with the letter "G" (necessarily the edge-frame must be in the context). The number of such parts should be equal to the number of steps on your porch. Next, their closely weld to the chawller, and in the end you get a high-quality metal Koohor. Similarly, this principle is made by another Koooo, using the second schwell.
After all these actions, the obtained elements need to be connected in pairs from the other side where the corners under the width of the future staircase are sliced. At the same time, the contour of the steps is created, and the corner located under the oppomme service should turn over the brands (thus create a side).
Your staircase is almost ready. Now it all depends only on your taste. The most beautifully will look a wooden step attached by in any way to the resulting carcass. Even if you do not have a huge experience in working with welding, on the assembly of such a porch with your own hands, in general, there will be 2-3 hours.
How to make a porch of concrete? This option It is considered to be the continuation of the foundation, but only already with the reinforcement of all steps. This is done so that in a couple of months, chips are not formed due to constant heavy loads. Due to the fact that the porch of concrete is made to cover special facing tiles, gradually the collapsing concrete immediately forms chips, and then cracks in the flicker itself.
At a pre-prepared foundation, you can collect a formwork that will be the bottom step. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the height of the step due to the weight load must necessarily be greater than 2 cm than the rest. Next, a similar procedure is carried out, as in constructing a reinforced foundation for the porch. The difference lies only in that in this case it is not necessary to regret the reinforcement.
Tip! The resulting clearance between two foundations is recommended to close mineral Vata.. This method will create a good deformation seam.
Formwork for steps can be prepared in advance - it will help save time. However, much more reliable and easier to pour together every step in turn, and even better, if before the fill of the new step, the solution of the previous one will have time to catch.
At the end, it is necessary to align the already frozen design, after which it is to cover it with any tile intended for a metal porch or a stone.
The time spent on working directly depends on the use of full formwork, as well as from the formation of each stage in turn or all at once. On average, you will need a week to work if you do everything at once or a week for each step to completely froze the concrete.
How to make a porch of brick or stone? Probably this is the most difficult version of the porch. All because much easier to work with brick foundationwhere you will not need accuracy than lay out the stone as soon as possible.
Brick should be put only if there are several helpers who all this time will interfere carefully concrete. With a stone, everything is much more complicated, because the stoley edges cannot be picked up to each other perfectly. In general, if there is no one experience in this activity and at least two people for help, then from this type of the porch should be abandoned immediately, otherwise you just spend in vain your time and all the material.
It will be much easier to make a concrete staircase, and then pick up a material for steps that will be similar to it. After that, they should be put in one layer on the "frame" from concrete, which is aligned in advance. This method has a huge advantage, since, having permissible an error you can easily break the facing of the desired area and re-perform the finish.
The visor is primarily the protection of the platform and steps from various natural precipitation, as well as the ability to independently arrange the porch with your own hands in the house or in the country, beautifully and in a short time. Often it is made of durable metal pipesFor the skeleton itself, coniferous trees are used or, in extreme cases, metal, and here for the skin take any tree or plexiglass.
Visors made from wood will need to twist at least 2 times annually or instead of processing special means, otherwise it will begin to gradually disappear, and then longitudinally split. When using the plexiglass, it is better to make spans between them about 0.7 m2. It is strictly not recommended to use glass, as it can easily crack in winter during snow or due to the deformation of the frames.
The total visor area must be greater than the porch half meter, otherwise he will not be able to perform its main function - protection.
The easiest and simple fast option - It is to do something similar to a metal staircase. Then the distance between each step can be made about 0.5 m. In this case, you will not need M-shaped elements and a channel, because the load on the visor itself will be at times less and there will be only enough angles in the outer frame. But the filling with a tree or porcelainist can be easily replaced with any other material.
When pouring the foundation, during the formation of the base, piles are necessarily installed, it is for them to put a visor. In addition, it will help in the future only in a couple of days a completely glazing veranda, if there is a desire.
To cover it is better to take a metal sheet along with tiles, but much more effectively will be more beautiful if you use plexiglas and polycarbonate.
Tip! To avoid the appearance of rust on a worn metal sheet, you can easily paint with paint in several layers.
The visor is sure to make the scathing, and in the place where the lower edge will be carefully welded a metal chute with a small slope. Secure the ordinary chain at the very end, which will get to the ground and thus water during the rain will not splash. Due to the fact that water has excellent viscosity and easy fluidity, it will begin to slowly drain along this chain. If you want to somehow get rid of the appearances of the puddle near the porch, make drainage.
The most common option is a closed porch. Popularly popular in this case, concrete and stone foundation together with a visor and a staircase, and necessarily attached to piles.
With the help of the corners that should coincide with the pile height in the visor, the frame is formed. They are well welded to piles, and then insert double frames made of wood with glass.
Tip! The glass sheet can be absolutely any height, however, the width should not be more than 120 cm, because the sailboat of this glass is high and even a light wind can hardly damage it.
If the emptiness between the pile turned out to be more than one meter, then scroll them with pseudo-eyed. To do this, at the top and bottom to the end of the piles, weld the corner of the attack inward, and then between them - a double angle that will form a pseudo-seater. Similarly, it is necessary to divide the height that generates a horizontal beam from several twined corners. This will significantly reduce the load on the glass, and the design itself will look light and beautiful.
1. Construction of the porch with their own hands with the use of low-quality concrete (below the brand 200). This concrete itself is rather loose, which is why it will be difficult to carry out the facing, since other mixtures have strength much higher after complete drying. In this case, in temperature changes, cladding can be seriously damaged. The basis itself, which in the consequence will remain open will begin to collapse into summer periodAnd even faster the steps of the brick will be destroyed.
2. Lack of good waterproofing. If it is timely not to make waterproofing in the porch to the house, it will lead to a huge deposit of moisture below, as a result of which the design will begin to gradually collapse. Most of all will suffer steps, since they are wet in the first of all.
3. Alignment of steps and plaster made only a few days after the end of concreting. If a long break in time occurs, then all layers will stop holding without additional promament in the design itself or at best there will be, but very weak. Do not forget that the place where the plaster is connected together with the screeds is considered the most vulnerable.
4. The foundation was erected without reinforcement. If you have no fittings, then the porch is simply just divided into two separate parts at the slightest drawdown. This will be free to repair.
5. The porch was attached to the foundation at home without special deformation seams. You can safely attach the porch only if the house with the porch will be a joint foundation. If this is not done, a sedimentary crack will appear right on the border of two foundations. To avoid such a seam of facing brick or tiles, it is necessary to stir on the same border, and the gaps of filling with silicone sealant and in no case are not grouting.
So, no specific skills for the construction of the porch do it yourself are not required. Each operation is considered basic in construction and therefore, even a newcomer with skillful hands.
The most correct porch option is when its foundation is cast together with the house. In this case, there are practically no problems. Sometimes when planning a building is forgotten about it. Then the porch is attached to the house. Make an extension mainly of three materials: wood, metal and concrete. If the brick house can be folded from the brick. Another option is to make from building blocks with subsequent finish. In any case, planning to make a porch with your own hands, immediately need to decide which the foundation and link it or not with the base of the building.
First you need to decide on what of the parties will leave the steps. They can be from one, two or three sides. Determine this on the basis of personal preferences and finances that you can / want to allocate for construction. The height of the height of the porch depends on the height of the base and should be 50-70 mm below the edge door canvas. This small step does not allow precipitation into the house. Perhaps it is more important that it does not allow the door to block the door if the porch from frosty beam rises up (if the doors open out).
The porch layout is starting from determining the size of the upper platform. If the doors open out, you should have the opportunity to stand on the site to open the doors. That is, the depth should be 30-40 cm larger than the width of the door canvase. According to the recommendations of the GOST, the site sizes must be 1.5 times the width of the doorway. More can be less - undesirable - uncomfortable.
If your 80 cm wide doors, then the depth of the upper platform at the minimum is 120 cm. Its width is determined based on flavors and the proportions of the house, but it should definitely be greater than the width of the doorway.
The height of the porch you know: 50-60 mm below the door canvase. The recommended height of the step (risers) is 15-20 cm. Share the height of the porch to the height of degrees, get an approximate number of steps. The number is rarely obtained by the whole. The remaining centimeters can be divided between all the steps or make one of them above. Another option is to make a small step at the bottom, although it may be inconvenient.
The optimal level width (commensus) 25-30 cm. Knowing the number of steps, the depth of the upper platform, the depth of the steps, you can calculate the size of the porch completely. On them you can already develop a foundation under the porch.
When selecting the parameters of the steps, it is necessary to adhere to the Recommendations of SNIPA: The sum of the aspiration and double riser should be within 600-640 mm. For example, you calculated that the height of the stage (risers) you have 17 cm, coming (degree depth) 280 mm. After performing the calculations, we obtain: 170 mm * 2 + 280 mm \u003d 620 mm. In the recommended parameters, we fit, it means to change anything.
If the porch is planned with a light - wooden or metal - foundation, most often, make pile or column. Specifically chosen on the basis of geological conditions. On well-draining soils with a low level of groundwater, it is enough with a tendency to be needed already, possibly.
For a heavy porch - from brick or monolithic concrete - make a ribbon foundation or. The base type is most often similar to the house on which the house is built.
Then you need to decide whether you will bind the foundation of the porch with the foundation of the house or not. Decisions are taken on the basis of the planned mass of the extension and type of soils. And in that, and another option has shortcomings. If there is no connection, there are often cracks at the junction of the porch and the house, due to frosty powders, the porch can squeeze. With such a problem, the owners of summer houses are often faced - mostly porch makes wooden and incoherent. After the Earth fades, it can "sit down" itself in place, and may require some additional measures.
When connected device, it is also possible to form cracks, but not only at the junction, and also in the "body" of an extension. This happens if the arranged reinforced bonds cannot compensate for the uneven load created by the house and an extension. Therefore, the associated foundation for the porch is made if it is attached to a heavy home and itself is heavy and massive, made of reinforced concrete. The second complexity with this solution is to make a connection with high quality. For this, the ribbed reinforcement with a diameter of 12-16 mm is used, which is drilled in the foundation of the hole with a given diameter. They are clogged with reinforcement and on its basis the frame knit for the porch.
There are two basic designs of stairs: on governments and on cosos. They can be made of wood, metal. There are also combined options - Metal + wooden steps or metal + concrete steps.
Designs of stairs - on assets and on cosos
Stairs on assets are the simplest. For the porch - a good option, especially if the house is wooden or small country. Support bars are attached to the inner side. If you work with the metal, the bars are welded horizontally (you can with a minimum bias 1-2 ° in order to with the steps of water flow). In the case of wood, the support bars can be nailed, to which the step will be fastened, or the recesses are cut (not more than 1/2 of the thickness of the board), in which the boards of steps are inserted.
The staircase on the crosses can also be a simple design - with open supports. In this case, in the upper part of the board are cut under the desired angle of triangles. Their lower part serves as a support for steps.
With a row of a rower, lay the height of the stage and the width of the sticky. They are connected at right angles. According to the applied markup make a pattern, with which all the steps are placed.
The number of cosomes in the stairs depends on its width and from the thickness of the boards used for the steps. The thinner the board for the steps, the more often the Kosoury should be put. If you use 25 mm boards, there must be a distance of no more than 50-60 cm between the two supports. If you need a big width of the stairs, and you don't want to put three cowers, use thicker boards. It is important that they do not be bombed under their feet.
If you decide to cook the staircase on the cosoms from the metal, you will need to be patient: you have to weld a lot of small segments, but the principle of formation is the same.
The lower edge of the staircase of the porch can sometimes be described directly on the ground. This option is simple, but unreliable. First, the soil can settle down, the staircase will collapse. Secondly, during contact with the ground, wood and metal collapsed faster. For wood there are special impregnations (Senezhe and Sezheng ultra, for example), and the metal is well formed by primer and color in several layers. Nevertheless, it is better to make the foundation - pour a finely breeding tape, on which the guards or boosters will be relying.
To the reinforced concrete base, it is possible to fix the staircase for the porch in two ways - to a lying-brue cross section of at least 75 * 75 mm or to the mortgage bruse of a smaller cross section (on the photo on the left).
Difficulties may occur with the installation of porch columns. Methods are several. There is one very simple and effective, which works perfectly even on bubbly soils (clay and loam). Under the pillars, the holes are digging with a depth of 50-60 cm. They are poured onto the bottom of the sand bucket, it is tasty. On top of the sand pour from half arab of rubble and also tram. They put a pillar, align it in the level, put the struts that will hold it in a given position. The space between the wall of the well and the post gradually fall asleep with rubble, carefully his trambus. The hole is filled with a soil with a soil, the top can be concreted (so that the precipitates do not flash), but not shed until the bottom. The pillars assembled in this way does not lead even with a strong bent. In the sand, there is a significant part of the water, and the remaining frosty powder forces takes over, neutralizing them.
If piles, a ribbon foundation or a monolithic plate, a tape base are filled under the pile poles, then the studs or special glasses are stileged to attach wooden racks into concrete. After the ripening of concrete, the bars of racks are fixed with muffuhari or bolts.
If the racks are metallic, the concrete is laying a corner with a wall thickness of at least 3-4 mm so that it can be easily boiled to it.
During the construction of a wooden porch, you may have questions about the attachment of the railing and Balyasin. They can be collected on ordinary nails, but if desired, you can use bolts or agarities. In this case, the holes are previously drilled, then fasteners are installed in them and tightened with an angular key. Such a compound is definitely more reliable than just on nails.
If the porch is configured to a freshly serrated wooden house, in which shrinkage is not yet completed, and the design of the porch provides for a canopy, mount the racks to special adjustable plates.
We draw your attention to the fact that both metal and wood that you will use for the construction of the porch require careful processing. The porch is subject to all climatic influences and materials require good protection.
The most durable stairs are made of monolithic concrete. Their manufacturing takes more time than metal or wooden, but their service life is calculated by decades. The types of stairs from concrete is told in detail in the video. There are also the basis for calculating.
How to make your own hands the concrete staircase on the cosos, see the next video.
A wood porch is one of the most common options in our country. Wood plastic, easy to handle, is relatively a bit (in our country), forgives many mistakes. That is why it is a favorite building material.
It also has disadvantages: it requires good protection before starting construction (antibacterial impregnation and antipyrenes), as well as regular care - updates of protective paintwork. Then a long time looks attractive, otherwise - quickly loses his decorativeness.
One of the options for the construction of a wood porch with a staircase on the assets can be seen in the video. Please note that the porch is built on sandy soil, so that the applied method of installing the poles is not suitable. Otherwise, everything is clear.
Since brick - the material is dense and heavy, the brick porch requires a serious foundation. Usually this is a monolithic plate, with double reinforcement and better if it is more planned the porch in size.
When calculating the parameters of the steps, it is necessary to take into account the size of the brick and the thickness of the seam between them. Then put it will work easier - do not cut brick. If the porch is not going to facing, use high-quality material for external rows. Internal rows - Zaratovka - can be made from the battle or building blocks and their residues.
Brick porch with wooden steps
If the house stands on a high base, make a monolithic brick porch too expensive. Then fold columns or walls, leaving inside an empty space. It can then be used on economic purposes or close with decorative shields. If the top area is needed, these columns / walls are overlapped with a concrete slab - homemade or finished - this is already choosing. Then the ladder is attached to the resulting base. It is not necessarily brick. It may be metallic, concrete or combined.
Theory is only the theory and construction too. Always better understand the essence of the case, if you watch the process yourself, because you can see how others do something and something to learn for yourself.
At the request of the parents, an accurate copy of the old porch was made. The only difference is that the new metal frame is welded.
At the site of the demolished porch, the pitual depth is 25 cm. On the bottom layer layerly, the sand is rambling, it is rubble - 10 cm for it. The metal mesh with a cell is 10 cm and all this is composed of concrete.
For the same sizes of the porch cooked metal carcass (from the corner of 70 * 5 mm). The sidewalls are exhibited vertically and fixed on studs. Next to them is welded base under the bench. The entire metal is processed by the rust converter, covered with soil and painted twice.
Wood used for construction dry. Stoped boards were cut in size (width width) and processed impregnation for direct contact with the soil.
Dish boards lay on the frame. Under each mount you have to drill the hole - the corner just do not take.
At this stage, two mistakes are committed at once. The first - the trim started not with the sidewall. Immediately began to fit the steps. As a result, in the joints of the side of the sheath and steps, water and wood is constantly staring. It is necessary to start the trim from the sides, and the steps to do a little longer so that they appear for the side of the stencil at least a couple of centimeters. The second error - the boards on the porch are laid close to each other. For high humidity They swell and surface becomes uneven. When laying a porch cover, make gaps at least 5-8 mm.
After all the boards are fixed, they are grinding. First, the ribbon grinding machine with coarse grain, then disk with thin. The process is long. In parallel, the task is solved - remove green color impregnations. It does not overlap even three layers of tinting.
After grinding - start painting. We apply three times. Each layer after complete drying of the previous one. As a result, the color is a Dark Mahagon.
While the paint dries finally, proceed to the manufacture of benches. Under them cut the boards, stepping the oblique chamfer (for beauty), cover the impregnation.
The backs are made with a small decor - rounding around the edges.
According to the planned lines with a paddle with a jigsaw, then we grind to the smooth edge.
The sidewalls are sewn plywood, which painted in the same color. Porch is ready.
Ready wooden porch with your own hands - side view
Previously, the walls of the staircase are composed of the brick, on top of which the monolithic concrete plate is filled. On the edge of it, the frame is deposited from the corners - so that you can welcome the staircase and railing.
Porch plan: how everything should look
From the corner of 70 * 70 * 5 mm cut the blank the desired length. After that, they are processed by the rust converter. Cooking starting after the reaction stopped and the metal drop.
Welded the first tutor from the metal.
The finished sidewall was attached to the concrete base with two pins.
Fastening to concrete support support
Similarly, we can cook the second theater and fasten it. When working, make sure that the two theets are in the same plane.
We begin to weld the support bars. It is important to constantly control the horizontality, so that the steps are not oblique.
To the supporting bars we weld the transverse pieces of the corner so that the shelf is.
Corners are welded so that they form a frame. They put a piece of slate sheet. On slate decay the reinforcing metal grid. The edges of the grid weld to the frame.
In the prepared steps we pour concrete. I make it high quality - so that the steps are not abrained longer.
While concrete will gain strength, taken for racks that will support canopy over the porch. For them, we take a profiled tube 70 * 40 * 3 mm. From it we cut four columns. Two slightly longer - they will be near the wall of the house, two at 15 cm shorter - they are standing on the outer edge of the porch, creating the desired slope - so that water-snow went fine. For the railing and crossbar, we use a profiled pipe 40 * 40 mm.
The entire metal is also processed by the rust converter.
First set the racks, catch up, set the temporary stops
In order not to emerge lateral stresses, the rack is important to set strictly vertically. I exhibit them, grab, in several places short seams, check again whether they are right. We weld the temporary stops and only after the next check we weld over all the rules.
After all the racks are exhibited and welded, you can collect railing. At the desired height, they are fixed strictly horizontally.
Then proceed to the installation of the roof. It cooks too from profile pipe 40 * 40 mm. First, the strapping around the perimeter - in terms of shorter racks, then the rest of the design. She is simple, but time leaves many - many intersections.
Then it came to go to take up railing and decorated. And again, there are no difficulties, it will be easy if desired.
Everything, the porch is ready for finishing work. On the steps and the staircase, the rough tile is purchased for outdoor use. She was separated and the sidewall of the monolithic plate.
The metal is painted selected in the tone of the paint, the roof went on the roof, remaining after the installation of the roof. The porch did not feel a porch.
Porch wooden bath or dacha - staircase from logs
Porch, trimmed PCK - Polymer Composite
Entrance doors are not allowed in our houses snow and wind, but they themselves withstand the entire load. They have often significantly higher than the level of the earth, so to enter the house, it is necessary porch. It will help to get inside without any difficulties, leaving the threshold street dust and dirt.
What is interesting porch? It can be arranged very different, in accordance with the taste of the owner. This article will be considered various options Arrangement and decoration of the porch.
The entrance group in most cases is a central decorative element in the cottage exterior or private house. If the overall composition of the site is thought out and is decorated with taste and with love, and the porch seems to be from another home or done, all the impression will be spoiled and the ensemble will be unfinished.
First, we'll figure it out that, in fact, it is a porch. General definition It says that it is an extension to the house that serves to enter and exit it. It has a staircase (or at least a few steps), as well as a canopy (this condition is optional). In most cases, such a design has a decorative appearance.
This construction is located outside the building, so it does not apply to the construction rules and norms that are covered with indoor buildings.
The input group is made by a number of rules required in terms of layout:
There are still a fire safety rules that need to be observed when the porch arrangement:
From the point of view of safety, it is necessary that the platform corresponds to a number of requirements:
Construction standards and rules (SNiP), as well as GOST regulate the main parameters for the arrangement of the porch.
Depending on the height of the base of the house, the number of stages of the input group is designed.
For example, the depth range for each step is 27-30 cm, and the height is 12-18 cm. Thus, coming and riser in size must be 45 cm. This will be achieved optimal convenience for lifting steps.
In order for one person to be comfortable to climb the stairs, it should not be less than 60 cm. If it is assumed that two will walk in steps, they should not be 120-145 cm. More than three steps on the stairs require a device fencing or railing. The height should vary from 9 to 20 cm. If the railing decorate the porch of a private cottage, their height can be some kind of as desired by the owner.
The staircase must comply with the requirements of a safe movement regarding the angle of the horizon.The most safe in terms of operation is a broad and color configuration staircase.
The top view is located below the threshold by 5 cm. This is the requirement of fire standards and rules. The depth should be 1,5 sizes of the width of the doorway.
The porch belongs to the group of light exterior buildings, so it does not require an enhanced type of foundation. Often the base for it is separately worth it, for example, in the front or entrance.
Most often foundation for the porch:
If the porch for a private house is planned as a full-fledged design with a staircase, columns, and the material for it is brick, concrete, stone, then it will take a solid foundation for it. It is built with the foundation of the house, and connect with him. For example, if it is decided to build a porch with brick columns On a concrete platform, a fragile base will simply not stand this design: will see, turn or collapse.
By type of performance, the porch is:
The first type is mainly found in private cottages. Often right behind the porch in such houses there is a patio or terrace. The porch consists of an open platform and steps, which can be a different amount. If there are more than three, the porch should be equipped with railings.
Sheds and visors are not provided, most often this role is performed by the attic or a balcony located directly above the entrance group. Or if the house is one-storey, the canopy function can partially take over the protruding roof.
In case the porch is equipped with a visor or a canopy, it is located above entrance door And it closes it, as well as a part of the site near the house. Canopy can be extended to create a parking for transport or recreation area in front of the house. The latter can be equipped with barbecue or mangal.
Most often, this type of porch is used when there is a basement in the house, and the entrance door is highly located. An interesting non-bunny visor can decorate the facade, as well as perform practical functions.
In the latest version, the entrance group is closed in the roof, as well as the playground near the door. The walls of the house are fencing the porch, thus creating a certain semblance of a tambour. The entrance to the house is protected from precipitation and winds.
Today, the achievements of the construction industry make it possible not to be limited to only the rectangular shape of the porch. Now you can give it a variety of configurations: semicircles, polyhedra, even a triangle.
For example, giving the porch semicircular shape, you can hide and smooth over the sharp corners of the house. The convenience of it is that it is possible to climb the steps from either side, as they enhance completely all the porch, providing a comfortable approach to the door. It is better to make them brick or stone (from clinker tiles).
If there is a need to equilibrate the house, you can lay down the tracks of the trapezoidal form.They are interesting to those expanding, rising up. Thus, the top platform is obtained solid and quite large.
Types of porch can be classified according to the size of the upper area:
Due to some reasons, the porch pad is at a considerable height.
This is due in cases:
The stairs can be perpendicular to both on one side of the site, and from two, or to look it, making it possible to approach the door from any direction.
If there is not enough place in front of the house, the staircase can be located along the facade or arrange a reversal design. Another level terrace also looks originally.
The console reference design is most often used for metal stairs. But it is necessary to foresee its structure at the stage of laying the foundation under the house.
If the site width is insufficient, you can arrange two small stairs on different sides of it.This is the most convenient option if there is very little free space in front of the house.
The most convenient of the stairs is the steps of which go round the site. For example, if the porch is small, but the rise must be convenient.
The original solution for the design of the porch, the more interesting the facade will look. Thanks to the taste and idea of \u200b\u200bthe owner, you can create a living and non-bank architectural composition.
The modern market presents a fairly large number of different materials for arranging the porch in front of the entrance door.
The most common and frequently used are:
The tree can be used in the form of logs, timber or terraced board.Most often wood equip the entrance groups country housesbuilt in an old Russian style. For hips, erected in the traditions of wooden architecture, it will be a log porch that will be authentic.
Wood is also convenient because it is easily processing, it can be given any shape, even the most complex and fantasy. Masters-Rusters with extensive experiences are able to make out unusually beautiful openwork compositions on the windows, rods of roofs and entrance groups of houses. The railing of the porch and fence around the house, having a similar or identical carved pattern, look very impressive.
The more original and thinner the work of the carcass on the tree, the more effectively there will be a result.
We should not forget about the need for mandatory processing of wooden elements with flame retardant and antiseptic from rotting. Then the design will serve for a long time without losing an attractive appearance.
It is better to use wood breeds that are poorly declared.
This is usually coniferous, for example:
There are no restrictions for the use of wood in construction. You can build a porch completely from this material, you can shelter its birch or cedar board or clapboard.
It should be noted that the presence of smooth accurate figure balasine on the railing and polished steps is a traditional element in Russian architecture, which remains relevant now.
Metal is not such a popular material like wood, concrete or brick, but it may look no less effectively. Especially if forged elements are used in vintage style. Most often, metal parts protrude in combination with stone, concrete or wood.
This is not due to the fact that the characteristics of the metal are worse than other materials.It just is quite high, as the price of welded works when installing the porch. But forged railing or a frame on a visor, supported by a similar frame for a street lamp or a lantern, options are more budget.
If the price of the question is not a problem for the owner, you can order any writing elements to the appropriate masters. Openwork frame on the visor, supported by the same design of the caps on the fence or the same framing of the lanterns over the door and the perimeter of the fence looks very effectively.
But the metal is extremely susceptible to corrosion, rain and snowfall can quickly lead it into a disrete.
Very often, wrought elements are covered with transparent polycarbonate. So they are less susceptible to negative environmental factors, while the beauty and originality of the details are more noticeable.
Any professional forging makes appearance Designs of the art.
Natural stone is a completely special material. It can act as solo and in combination with any other type of finish. The granite or marble entrance group has maximum advantages for the capital construction: durable, durable, beautiful, reliable, resistant to environmental impact. But he has two essential minuses: he is bulky and expensive.
Thanks to the achievements modern technologies Production of false stone is almost indistinguishable from natural outward. You can identify the fake, just touching it.
Instead of natural stone, you can use a tile: clinker, pavingly. They, first of all, is more likely to than one-piece stone, secondly, much more convenient in operation, as it is easier and each element has its own size.
The entrance group of stone will greatly decorate the house of the brick, as well as plastering or panels that imitate a stone or brick. It should be understood that the stone porch looks truly monumentally, so it is not recommended to make a small house.
Brick, like wood, is affordable and often found in the design of the porch.It is possible to separate the finished composition and create the design completely from it. It weighs a little, it is inexpensive, while durable and durable. In addition, it is easy to operate and work.
For work on the street, this kind of bricks is often used as clinker. It has enhanced strength. He is not afraid of all typical environmental factors: rain, snow, temperature differences, straight rays of the sun. It does not lose an attractive appearance for a long time.
There is a large number on the market color solutions Clinker brick. This allows you to create real masterpieces in the decoration of the porch: ornaments, gradients, contrast patterns or monochrome.
Polycarbonate is the only material that cannot be used for the base of the porch.It can be used only as a coating. The frame will be metal, wooden bar or brick. Polycarbonate must be used with the mind, then you can create an interesting architectural solution from it.
Where can I apply polycarbonate:
Due to the fact that the polycarbonate is well bend, from it you can create structures of different shapes.
Concrete In most cases, it is the basis, it is covered with various cladding on top. This is because the concrete itself has a non-sustainable appearance and an entrance group, constructed only from it, will not decorate the house.
However, concrete can be poured into any formwork and receive a large number of different configurations of steps and porks.
There are polished or painted concrete structures that look quite interesting.
Since the unfaithful concrete plastic, it is possible to cast the elements of any degree of complexity. But the main minus is the extreme severity of the material and the complexity of the installation.
What will be the porch, it is best to plan at the stage of development of the project at home. Then you should decide on its size. In addition to the desire of the owner, there are also security requirements. Thus, the top platform should be such that the person can open the door (outward, in accordance with fire standards), and he did not have to step down the step down.
The width, depth and height of the steps are adjusted by slips, and none of the parameters should be less regulated. The same applies to the corners of the slope. As for the configuration and decor, the owner of the waven act in accordance with his fantasy.
Regardless of whether the top area of \u200b\u200bthe porch is high or low, it can be constructed and decorated in accordance with the wishes of the owner. Of course, you need to understand that the railing on a high porch is not only not so much decor element, but an important functional part: both in winter during the period of snowfall and nondes, and in the fall during pouring rains. At a low porch or pare-three steps of railing and fence - not an urgent need, but a whim of the owner. Nevertheless, such a fence (columns connected by a chain, for example) can be decorating the input group, especially in spring and summertime.
Depending on the selected style of registration of the input group, it can be supplemented with a bench, a lively fence, figurily by a lawn, symmetrically broken flower beds, one or two lamps - the variants of a great set, and each is interesting.
Do not overload the decor with dissimilar items.For example, if the design of the porch (canopy, visor) uses forging elements, it is advisable to support it, using similar elements in the design of the lantern, benches, caps on the fence. Mixing differences can create a cacophony and blessing in the decor.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the combination of materials from which the entrance group has been created. Quality should be at the height, because attempts to save and buy construction material Dubious origin can lead to rapid destruction of the structure. Therefore, it is better to buy all the components of the input group of well-known and well-proven themselves in the market of manufacturers. The clinker tile will look great both with concrete column columns and with metal forged railing. The brick porch is harmonized with a fence from a similar material.
It must be remembered that any combination should be treated carefully.It is better to draw a sketch - manually or in a computer program, or to use one of the huge number of ready-made photos. Because the porch is a significant element of the house design, which is first striking.
The adjacent landscape (as well as the total composition of the site) is also important to take into account when developing the design project of the input group. For country house The classic style is perfectly suitable stylization under the English garden - bouquets in pots, mini-flower beds.
In most cases, the facing of the steps on the concrete staircase occurs through a ceramic tile or stone, and the latter can be natural, and artificial. Cutting can be separated by tiles with imperfect rough texture.
In front of the door in a wooden house, you can make a small bay staircase. Then you can cover it not tiles, but a ground or terraced board.
Wooden porch can be issued in different ways. Since this material has a very beautiful structure, it does not need to hide, and better, on the contrary, to emphasize.
If necessary, it can be covered with varnish, special oil or paint.
Any entrance to the house is a widest field for experiments in decorating, whether it is three steps or a full-fledged broad staircase. How to arrange a porch in different style solutions - consider in this section.
The entrance group in the style of Country will best look at wooden version At the same time, the material should look like never under mechanical processing. It is important to leave the natural bends in the tree trunks on the fence or railings, while, of course, it should not be jarbin, necks, which can leave the offices and to damage the one who will move around the stairs.
The porch, decorated by columns in the Greek style, can look very interesting, especially in the warm climate. It is best to plant ancient portals with flowers and evergreen shrubs (cypress, thuya, laurel). Stone clinker tiles on a low porch with a spacious venue will be the perfect addition of the composition, like a double canopy, based on the columns.
The colonial style of the entrance group with a deliberate roughly treated stone will beautifully complement the house from a similar material. Especially original looks like a porch near the house with a multicate roof or circular roof. The house becomes similar to the fortress or castle, and the entrance group organically complements the composition. This style is not inherent in any luxury, nor suburban, but it looks truly impressive and thoroughly.
The entrance group, for the design of which the Mediterranean style is selected, it will be best to look at the house in warm climatic latitudes. The descent on the wide white marble steps straight to the sea or the pool is truly chic. Columns and amphora pots with southern flowers and plants planted in them will give the sophistication of the composition.
Russian style is first of all beautifully treated wood. Neither the brick nor the stone, no more plastic in it in it. Only a tree, if possible - carved. Methods for designing structures in Russian-style somewhat is a log hut, and the princely terme. A panel with balusters, a carved fence, a visor with an openwork pattern - these are all integral components of this style.
Scandinavian style is the full opposite of the Russian.There are no extra details, while complied with all the requirements of convenience and comfort. The seeming simplicity of this style hides the thoughtful organization of all the trifles. As a rule, a white stone or tile is used, fencing columns are also stone or concrete.
Provence style perfectly support wooden staircase threaded. It is recommended to paint in white, well, if the paint slightly cracks.
In the style of the chalet, the forging elements will look: the lamp, the cap on the fence, railing and columns.
When making the input group, it is logical to use the same material from which the house was built. That is, to a log or brous house Suitable porch of wood, to brick - from brick.
When building steps and platform, it is necessary to water the elements of the extension, because otherwise they will suffer from the influence of climatic conditions. In addition, it is necessary to drain the soil, for this, special trenches are digging for drainage and pump water.
Before finish the structure of the porch, you need to make sure that the door may be discovered even after heavy snowfall. And for this, the playground should be lower than the front door, about 5 cm. If there is no canopy over the input group, you can build a slightly slope pad - up to 5 degrees to ensure water outflow. If there is a canopy or a visor, the slope is not necessary.
The larger the house, the more impressive the porch and, accordingly, the foundation for it.It is best to lay it on the construction stage at the same time with a common foundation of the house, especially if it is planned to arrange a veranda or patio on the top platform.
If you do not do the base under the porch, then it may soon after the manufacturer.
There are several options for the foundation for the porch:
The most common type of base is ribbon. It is chosen both experienced builders and newcomers in this matter. It is easy to build, as the technology of the device is simple, and building materials for this require a little.
The pile type to arrange more difficult, you will need piles from reinforced concrete. Their ends are sharpened in order to be more convenient to install them on the desired depth.
To lay a column foundation quickly and simply, since the pillars are placed near each other at the corners of the porch and in places where the walls are intersect.
The most difficult and expensive option is the foundation built of plates. First, it requires a large number of events: from the preparation of the pit before laying the reinforced plate on the prepared "pillow" from sand and gravel.
It is important to remember that the wider and large-scale the porch is planned, the more durable there should be a base for it.
The process of laying the foundation must go simultaneously with the construction of the house.If the foundations lay at different times, then they will settle at different speeds. Constructions can "stories" in different directions, which will lead to the formation of cracks. In order to avoid this, you need to use high-quality cement.
In order for the design to serve longer, you need to take care of thermal insulation both the porch itself and the base under it. This is especially true for large, solid entrance groups. It is equally important to correctly calculate the depth for its bookmark.
In most cases, the foundation under the input group is needed.It is unlikely that there is a man who built a house that has invested in this a large amount of time, forces and what to hide, funds who want to observe how his creation is destroyed only because he once lazy to put it on a high-quality and reliable basis.
Come to the cottage only for the sake of the garden - yesterday. The summer cottage has long been a favorite holiday destination. After all, it is so nice: go in a warm bath, and then sit on a cozy porch, enjoying the beauties of a rustic landscape.
The porch can be built along with the country house or attach it already upon completion of construction work. But it is necessary to build it, because it leads to the inner premises, protecting them in winter from snow, and in the offseason - from dirt.
The porch is constantly subjected to serious loads, so it must meet high strength requirements. As a rule, it becomes an organic addition of the house, making the entire structure in unique.
Exterior appearance The porch also depends on your material capabilities, the area of \u200b\u200bthe country area, materials and, of course, from your wishes.
By species distinguish between open and closed extensions. The first is equipped with only the fence and handrails, and the staircase has no more than three steps. This simple porch can be capital or appropriate to clean it in the winter.
If the porch is protected from precipitation from above and from all sides, it is believed to closed type. As a rule, it is a continuation of a glazed terrace or veranda. Such a porch expands the space, allowing you to place the necessary things. This is the perfect option for those who come to their country cottage area all year round
Regardless of the appearance of the porch, think about the design of a canopy or a visor to protect against weather and bright sunlight. The first is kept on the pillars-supports, and the second is on the brackets or discover overlaps. In order for the design to be reliable and durable, consider several important advice:
The house with the porch should look like a single whole. Therefore, it is important to choose the materials so that they are harmonized between themselves and organically fit into the overall design. Otherwise, all the construction will look short.
Metal, concrete, wood and brick - Popular materials for the construction of the porch with their own hands. Which one is suitable for your design you will define, considering their pros and cons. Thus, the metal porch is distinguished by reliability and durability. Anti-corrosion varnish will protect the material from rust, thanks to which the extension will retain an attractive appearance.
Often it does not need to install the foundation, and collect the porch itself really for three days. The porch of metal quickly rakes in the sun and freezes in the cold, so for closed options It does not work.
For mounting a metal porch, there is the following instruction:
Tree - affordable, practical and durable material. The construction of it is easy to redo, and the wood structure equally decorate the facade and a small house, and the grand construction. Wooden structures periodically require repair with the replacement of individual elements. To extend the service life of the porch, process it special tool From rodents, paint or check out. Installation wooden design Really fulfill it yourself, and so that the result please, take into account the following recommendations:
Concrete structures are not afraid of no heat, nor frost. It's just do it yourself:
Bright durable brick porches are still popular. Near little house Such a porch will look cumbersome, but for a good brick or stone buildings suitable as it is impossible. To porch become an organic addition to the house, listen to the following recommendations:
When choosing a material, give preference to ceramic bricks as the most durable and never use the used material. After all, constant load and weather Let us lead to the destruction of the brick, and all the structure will look very unclear.
Any event requires a specific action plan, and the design of the country porch is no exception. First of all, you need to design the future design. This can be done both on paper and in a special 3D program to look at the porch from all sides by assessing its advantages and disadvantages.
Design the number and height of steps, height of the rail and the location of the balaasine, the sizes of the visor or a canopy and their shape. The project needs to reflect the size of the site base, the thickness of the side walls, as well as the presence of window and doorways.
There are norms and rules that need to be considered when building a porch:
After a detailed review of the project, proceed directly to construction work. Post the desired area, designating it with a perimeter by pegs. Then you need to dig up the pita, on the dimensions equal to the depth of the main foundation.
The bottom of the pits are about 5-10 cm fall asleep with rubble, slightly tamper, and then go to the final stage: prepare a solution from cement, rubble, water and sand and pour a hole so that it comes to earth, and then align the surface with the rail and bubble level . This concrete pillow is ideal for simple wooden and metal structures.
A columnar foundation is a simpler option when the wooden porch staircase relies on the ground-driven concrete, monolithic or brick pillar.
If you plan to integrate the porch in the veranda, arrange a ribbon foundation.
To do this, around the perimeter, the verandas dig a trench, the bottom fall asleep with sand and set the formwork. After that, the pit makes a support from wooden bars for reinforcement, which is installed in the formwork and poured concrete. After a day, they remove the formwork, and after two or three weeks they mounted the veranda itself. Concrete or brick buildings are located on the slab foundation. It is mounted similarly to the concrete pillow, and the depth of the RAVE is at least 50-70 cm.
Despite the fact that all work with the foundation seems to be long and tedious, there are a number of nuances that cannot be ignored:
At the end of work with the foundation, choose any option of the porch to your taste and wallet and proceed to install a new country facility. The installation of the staircase starts start up, attaching them to the beams with self-draws or wooden pins. For the fence, carved wooden handrails are suitable, and wrought railing.
It remains to make a staircase, which is equipped with either a dense flooring of boards with a small slope, or install boards with a distance of 5 mm so that the moisture itself went to the floor.
Since you have decided to make a new extension with your own hands, you probably want it to become not just another element of summer cottages, but a beautiful addition of all the plot. Therefore, it is worth listening to the advice of professionals and decide how to arrange your porch.
Double canopy and accurate railings, steps and pad of the porch, trimmed with tiles or stone, fully match classic style. An elegant addition will be the backlight and pots with alive colors.
A wooden design with a pronounced wood pattern is simply created for country style, and clear lines and concise shapes are the brightest features of the European style.
The summer porch will turn into a paradise, if equipped it as a Latin American or Mediterranean patio. Prefer the corner solutions: they will protect the patio from bad weather and allow you to freely move around the house. The walls will decorate curly clematis, ivy, lemongrass or girlish grapes, and in the corners of the site, put publicity with cypress.
Wicker furniture, wooden benches And the picturesque pergolas will emphasize beauty and will help in the arrangement of rural style. Bamboo decor, stone flooring and bonsai will be transferred to the country of militant samurai. Modest wooden base with white elements and bright colors Create an atmosphere of the Mediterranean, and the colorful mosaic will not leave indifferent fans of the Moorish style.
The tree will always remain our favorite material, because it is a living and natural, this property does not have a stone, even natural, and the more non-glass and concrete. How many people will live, so much will build with their own hands. The wooden house has a feature - it is easily suitable for a fender from a tree easily, but almost never - from metal and plastic. It is necessary to be a big specialist in the field of wooden house design to organically embed a modern "metallic" style in the facade of a wooden house. And even more so it is not easy to make a beautiful porch with your own hands without the project.
The task for work with your own hands is essentially simplified if you consider several rules of the mutual combination of the peculiarities of the porch and the facade of the house:
Important ! Most beautiful projects attract their simple and stylish designin which there are no unnecessary elements or "empty" decorations.
Please note that you can select a whole photo gallery of the most successful projects with a minimum amount of decor, beauty is achieved only thanks to the natural characteristics of wood.
The bulk of the projects of wooden houses with their own hands is made either in the old "chopped" style, or stylized under wooden with widespread metal, ceramics, wooden bar. The houses of both styles are very beautiful, and with the correct selection of the porch, the type of artwork is acquired.
Much in the beauty of the house and the porch depends on the correctly selected style of a wooden building. For example, a standard cottage that does not possess special research in the form and design in the photo, changes dramatically in perception, after the vertical racks from the tree stems were added. Their unusual form made it possible to easily stylize the whole building at home under an unusual "forest" view. The style of "hut on the couch legs".
Often, wooden houses build with their own hands the old grandfather method from large wooden logs. Almost always, such "logs" are obtained by large two-storey buildings resembling medieval Siberian houses. But with the right arrangement of the porch and the observance of the general style, the house can greatly win, if you make a beautiful carved porch "under ancient", as in the photo.
Oddly enough, but most of the houses built from wood repeat the modern architecture, which is weakly combined with the old "chopped" style. The desire to make a complex roof and a log verge of walls leads to the appearance of a peculiar "Novodel" - the textures of an old wooden house, mechanically transferred to a new architectural appearance. In such options, a beautiful carved porch practically saves the entire ensemble.
Some lovers prefer classic wooden house According to samples and canons of the 18th century. Especially interesting options are characteristic of the northern latitudes of the country. Even in the photo, such projects look simple and very functionally, there is no excess in the design of the roof and walls, but it feels that the house is unusually strong and reliable. An openwork porch with beautiful stairs very accurately complements the beauty of a wooden house.
Almost always the porch looks very beautiful and organically, it can supplement and emphasize the beauty of the house, if it is small in size, so that the design of a small porch is not lost, but correctly complements the main building, as in the photo.
The effect of proportionality forces lovers of large houses to artificially increase the size of the porch to maintain the correct proportions in the house. In the guise of the front part of a beautiful wooden house, the main role is assigned a porch, it is made of wood, but it looks very modern and stylish, thanks to a concise and beautiful design and a well-selected tinting of supporting supports and wooden cladding at home. The effect achieved says for itself in the photo.
The most successful and pretty, wooden houses are not "chopped" style, but stylized under a log cabin. The architecture of such a house is obtained more elegant and modern. In the photo you can see how to use a beautiful carved ornament, organically combined with the overall ideology of the wooden structure of the house. The porch turned out to be very spacious and bright, the carved ornament is very well combined with a shared decor of a wooden house.
The walls and the porch of the tree look more modern and stylish, and there is no surplus to the use of decorative elements under ancient. Moreover, the porch itself is very beautiful and well complements the facade of a wooden house, in a photo. But in such solutions to support the overall style, the porch received a cladding of ceramic tiles, a very well-selected shade. In such a design, the monumentality of the building and the trim of the bar under the expensive varieties of wood require the exquisite texture of the material for the wooden porch, so the stone steps are made with ceramic facing.
There are a lot of successful options when builders and architects manage to handle the warm style of a wooden house with a cold modern stylein which the porch is built at home. Tree is very well combined with stone and ceramic tiles
Metal and plastic, of which the porch is built, do not spoil the appearance of a wooden house, although the design itself looks a bit unusual, but not alien, due to the successful wooden facing and the structure of the house itself.
It is not always possible to harmoniously combine the house from the tree and not a wooden porch. The complexity of this approach consists in the need for a painstaking selection of a compromise between the bright appearance of the wooden facade and a kind of porch style.
