Do-it-yourself barn construction step by step

The first step is to choose a place to place a frame outbuilding with a shed or gable roof. It is best to choose a place where the soil is not suitable for beds. A wooden shed cannot be placed on garden paths and car passages. The best option would be to place them at some distance, near the landings. The entrance to the barn should allow you to easily place overall equipment.

The next step is to clear the place of debris and grass for the construction of a barn with your own hands. The upper part of the soil is cut off twenty centimeters. The roots are removed, everything is aligned.

Before further work, the necessary material and tools are prepared. As lumber for the construction of a frame shed with a shed roof, the second - third grade of wood is suitable, so it is cheap and will reduce construction costs.

For the construction of a frame wooden shed, it is taken:

• timber for frame construction 10 by 10 cm;
• for rafters board 5 by 15 cm;
• for sheathing - board 4 by 15 cm;
• for the crate, unedged wood is needed.
• for moisture protection - film and roofing material.
• for the roof - corrugated board, metal tiles, soft tiles.
• for concrete - gravel (crushed stone), river sand and of course cement.
• for fastening nails or self-tapping screws, steel corners.

Tools for the construction of a wooden frame shed in the country will need the following:

• screwdriver;
• electric drill;
• electric planer;
• jigsaw;
• saw.

For outbuildings, even from wood, only a columnar type of foundation is always erected. Crushed stone and gravel pillow is not suitable for this purpose.

Step 1. First of all, the markup for the pillars is done. The spans must be less than 1.5 meters.

Step 2. The pillars are placed at the corners of the future building, along the perimeter inside it.

Step 3. Holes are dug 0.5 meters deep.

Step 4. Formwork is built to a height of 0.3 meters.

Step 5. A sand and gravel mixture is poured to the bottom.

Step 6. Reinforcement is placed, concrete is poured.

Step 7 Boards for the barn are treated with an antiseptic and refractory varnish.

After 4 days, the concrete hardens, then the formwork is removed from the foundation for the future barn. A two-layer roofing material is distributed on the pillars. A rectangular shape from a bar is mounted at the top. The ends are connected with steel brackets. Vertically arranged racks are exposed. Fastened with steel corners. One front wall of the barn needs to be built higher. The entrance is planned according to the step-by-step instructions and drawings.

Logs for the floor are connected to the sweat, and then they are closed with tongue-and-groove or edged boards. Beams for floors are laid, vertical beams go on top, which are fastened with steel brackets, corners.

1. Rafter legs are installed with a span of no more than 80 centimeters and are fixed with metal corners or nails.
2. The waterproofing is overlapped and fixed with a stapler or small nails.
   A crate is made from an unedged board.
