Garage in the country from reinforced concrete structures. Garage from reinforced concrete slabs

The best material for building a garage for storing vehicles or repairing them is red brick, warm, durable and very expensive. Thanks to modern materials, today it is easiest to build a concrete garage, which is not inferior to brick competitors in terms of comfort, quality of construction and thermal insulation. Moreover, the construction of a concrete garage with your own hands will be faster and cheaper.

Concrete garage design options

Casting with concrete solution in a reusable adjustable formwork;
Fold from slabs and concrete blocks suitable for the construction of the garage in size. This is the most difficult option for building a concrete garage, since heavy concrete slabs and blocks must be tied and laid out so that the building does not fall apart under its own weight, like a house of cards;
Buy a ready-made garage in the form of a set of concrete slabs and fold the building in one or two days.

Important! In any case, before starting work, you will need to consult a specialist who has experience in legally correct paperwork for the ownership of real estate, which will be the garage you built.

How to deal with paperwork

The most common mistake in capital construction is haste in making decisions. Often, the desire to acquire real estate as soon as possible pushes people to rash acts, for example, concrete slabs and blocks are imported until the rights to a land plot are fully formalized, and in a couple of days the garage is ready. As soon as the construction is completed, the rightful owner appears and, through the court, takes away a brand new garage.

Paperwork is an even more difficult and lengthy process, requiring patience and the ability to talk with officials:

At the stage of selecting and registering a site for the construction of a garage, it is necessary to start by clarifying the information in the BTI about whether the site is “clean”, whether there are any court bans on its purchase, use or lease;
If a place for a garage is purchased in the form of joining a garage cooperative, you will need a certificate from the BTI plus a decision from the local authority to allocate a specific site for construction;
To buy land, you will need to allocate a plot from the general plan, pay for the implementation of the project for allocating and describing the boundaries, withdraw the plot from the cooperative lease agreement, and only after that draw up a sale and purchase agreement.

For your information! A lease agreement for 49 years received in hand or a certificate of ownership will be the basis for starting construction.

If you go the other way, build a concrete garage and try to get it recognized as a living space through the courts, the process of legalizing it as your property may drag on indefinitely. Unlike even buildings made of corrugated board or sandwich panels, stone walls and foundations will be the basis for considering your future garage as a capital building and real estate.

Building a concrete garage

With any construction of a garage made of concrete materials, it is necessary to make a full-fledged capital foundation. It is better to use a slab, in extreme cases, shallow. If a basement, storage or viewing hole is planned in the garage, it will be necessary to lay out the tape to the depth of soil freezing. The heavier the building, the more powerful the foundation will be required.

For example, a standard-sized garage of 4.0x6.25 m, with a ceiling height of 2.25 m, assembled from 12 cm thick slabs, depending on the reinforcement method and the presence of heat-insulating voids, weighs from 12 to 18 tons. With a foundation tape length of 21 m and a width of 0.3 m, the load will be from 2000 to 3000 kg / m 2, therefore, on weak soils or on heavily watered soils, it is better to use a monolithic slab reinforced with reinforcement. Considering the heavy weight of the structure, the installation of concrete slabs and blocks or their casting into climbing formwork can be completed in 24-28 days.

concrete slab garage

The easiest way to quickly build a garage is to assemble from a purchased building kit for building a building from ready-made wall slabs, ceilings and floors. Today on the market there is a fairly large number of offers of ready-made prefabricated concrete garages of various designs and sizes.

If desired, you can purchase a complete kit, which includes:

Concrete blocks for laying in the foundation for a garage;
Floor slabs and a set for arranging a concrete glass of an inspection pit;
Walls and floor slabs.

For your information! Slabs for the wall are made in the form of a finished reinforced concrete slab in the size of the frame of the building. Thanks to the use of stiffening ribs, the slab is lighter and stronger than standard hollow core slabs.

The do-it-yourself kit must be accompanied by an assembly drawing and the sequence of installation of individual components and parts. It is extremely important to comply with all requirements for leveling and bonding walls with the foundation and floor slabs as required in the instructions by the concrete garage project developer. Self-activity in such work is fraught with serious problems, from injuries to complete collapse of the structure. Proper assembly is based on the professional work of slingers, crane operators and fitters.

The construction of the garage begins with the laying of floor slabs. Often, for the purpose of additional thermal insulation, the basement is made in the form of brickwork, raised above the ground level. A layer of expanded clay or screening must be carefully leveled, compacted and concreted with a screed before laying the floor slab. Next, the walls are installed in pairs, first the back and side, after fixing the front and second side.

All laid out wall slabs are aligned along the mounting grooves and connected by welding reinforcement and anchoring. The ceiling tiles are laid out last.

The cost of a ready-made concrete slab garage kit can range from $3,000 to $4,000 with shipping. At least 30% of the cost of the material will be spent on installation work, laying and crane operation.

Thus, the cost of the entire structure will be up to 6 thousand dollars without finishing work, insulation and installation of gates.

concrete block garage

It is not uncommon for buildings of the simplest design to be constructed from concrete blocks used for foundations or similar purposes. Most often, FBS 12.3.6 or 9.3.6 blocks are used to build walls and foundations for garages. The first has dimensions of 118x30x58 cm and weighs almost half a ton. The second type of blocks with dimensions of 88x30x58 cm weighs about 350 kg. The cost of a set of concrete blocks of the first type for the walls of a garage measuring 6x4x2.5 m will be about 750-800 dollars, excluding delivery and installation work.

For the ceiling, three standard hollow core slabs PK 63-10-8, 6.2x1.0x0.22 in size, can be used. The cost of each will be $12-15 without delivery and installation. The size of the concrete slab for the garage floor should be selected from the exact dimensions of the wall box. In some cases, it is more profitable to buy and lay wider slabs on the walls so that an overhang forms along the contour due to the protruding edges.

Thus, the cost of building a garage from foundation blocks, taking into account the large amount of installation and loading work, will be approximately half that of construction.

It is worth noting the shortcomings in the construction of a garage of concrete blocks:

Firstly, for the construction of walls, installers with sufficient experience in working with concrete blocks will be required, since in each wall it will be necessary to lay out perfectly vertical walls of five rows of FBS.
Secondly, the weight of the structure of such a building will be almost twice the weight of the box assembled from the finished kit, which will require the use of a powerful strip foundation.
Thirdly, the construction of such a garage will take about three times as much time.

Construction of concrete walls by casting into formwork

To form walls using casting, a set of adjustable reusable formwork is required, in addition, it is necessary to perform a large amount of work on reinforcing the foundation and walls. The cost of a concrete garage with a wall thickness of 200 mm and a cast ceiling will cost approximately $700-750 for the purchase of concrete mortar, $200 for rebar, and another $200 for installation of rebar and pouring concrete.

In total, such a construction of a concrete garage, depending on the features of the box, will cost $ 1200-1300. It should be borne in mind that the building can be installed on a simpler and cheaper MZL foundation due to its lower weight.

Finishing operations

Insulation of a concrete garage is almost always performed using foam blocks, which are glued to the inner surface of the walls and ceiling. The insulation layer is sheathed with OSB boards or drywall. The outer surface of the walls is plastered with cement-sand mixtures. Roofing on a flat roof is most often made of rolled roofing materials, for example, glass isol or roofing material.

To bind to the construction site, you will need the following inventory:

a skein of thick nylon cord;
tape measure of the required length;
several pegs;
a small sledgehammer.

The easiest option for linking to the terrain is to add a garage to the outbuildings already built earlier. The solution of the problem in this case is reduced to a simple extension of the existing building line in accordance with the selected dimensions of the building.

The base of a one-story brick (cinder block) garage can be a simple rubble-concrete foundation of a tape type, during the preparation of which a trench dug in the ground is filled with broken stone (but). There are two ways to build such a foundation:

Pieces of stones are laid into the trench in neat rows, each of which is then poured with a liquid cement-sand mortar.
Reinforcement is laid in the dug trench, and then it is poured with concrete.

Since the foundation must have some elevation above the ground, it will be necessary to make a formwork, the height of which will correspond to the level of pouring the foundation for the garage.

The width of the trench under such a base usually does not exceed 60 cm, but basically it is 10–15 cm wider than the future wall. Its depth is determined by the expected depth of soil freezing in a given area.

When digging a trench, it must be taken into account that the soil should be sampled before reaching dense soil layers, and that the walls of the trench should be even.

This video is about preparing the base for the garage:

On a dried foundation we lay a layer of waterproofing, which is usually used as a simple roofing material. If the garage door is already ready, then they need to be installed and fixed. For these purposes, you can use improvised material, for example, long logs, boards, or something else that fits in length. After the walls are erected, the struts, which play an auxiliary role, can be removed.

The accuracy of the installation of the garage door frame can be measured in the course of work using a plumb line and level. If necessary, its position can be slightly changed by placing pieces of metal plates under the corners of the structure.

Operations for laying a chain of blocks (or bricks) must be carried out according to the standard scheme, according to which the elements of each subsequent row overlap the joints of the previous one. The construction of walls should begin with the construction of corner beacons, between which a thin nylon cord is subsequently stretched. The remaining wall blocks are laid along the line of the cord, after which the beacons are again built up into several rows. We control the correct alignment of walls and corners using the same plumb line and level.

To build a garage floor, you can use a relatively inexpensive and reliable support structure made of metal I-beams with a working size of 100–120 mm. Such beams will allow you to close the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe building with a width of up to 6 m.

After laying the beams, you can proceed to their sheathing. To do this, thick boards (40–50 mm) are laid in dense rows along the lower brand of adjacent beams, which are then covered with a layer of roofing material. On top of the roofing material, we fill up the insulation (usually expanded clay or simple slag is used as a heater), and the level of the backfill should reach the cut line of the upper brand.

At the next stage of work, we apply a layer of cement screed 20–30 cm thick over the insulation, the quality of which largely determines the reliability of the entire roofing.

If the roof is flat, then self-waterproofing of the garage roof is carried out by laying several layers of waterproof roll materials (roofing felt, aquaizol or rubemax) on the prepared screed. In garage construction, the following techniques are most often used:

stacking rolls by layer-by-layer fusing;
applying the material with bituminous mastic.

For a gable roof, the same roofing materials are used as for finishing the roof of a house. You can get acquainted with them in more detail in the article devoted to this topic.

On the front and end parts of the roof, you will need to mount small visors that serve to protect the walls of the garage from rainwater flows. You can make similar visors from a 50 mm thick edged board, punched along the edge with another board. They are attached under the upper brand of the beam.

As insulation for walls, you can use standard boards made of foam or mineral wool.

From a metal profile

First of all, the lower part of the frame is made, which must be welded to the "mortgages" concreted in the foundation. If this moment is missed, then you will have to use anchors for fastening.

The next step will be the installation of vertical racks on the long sides of the garage with an interval of 1.5 m. Only after that you can proceed to fix the upper part of the frame.

To give the structure rigidity, it is necessary to weld corners in the spans, which are installed diagonally.

Profiled sheets are used for wall cladding. The same material is used for the roof. If you wish, you can cover the roof with metal tiles.

A metal garage has a significant drawback - it is cold in winter, and warms up like a stove in summer. However, the situation can be improved. Such a room can be insulated in various ways, it is only important to remember that heating will be required to work in such a room in winter.

In the video below, you can learn how to make your own garage doors:

From foam blocks

The foam block does not have a lot of weight, unlike brick. Therefore, it makes no sense to build a capital foundation under the walls from it. There are two options:

Shallow foundation on a sand cushion.
Light pile-strip foundation.

Moreover, if the soil at the construction site is not problematic, that is, not swampy and sandy, then there is no point in spending money on a deep foundation either. Therefore, it will be enough to deepen the foundation by 50–60 cm. A sand cushion of 20 cm is poured into the trench. A reinforcing cage should also be built. This is part of the work that is done before the concrete is poured.

If the soil is dense and does not crumble, then there is no point in constructing formwork in a trench. It will be required only above the elevation of the soil up to 30 cm.

As for the width of the foundation, it should be 300 mm wider than the thickness of the foam blocks themselves. This gap will compensate for the pressure of the frozen ground. The entire construction process is expressed in the successive steps outlined below:

Site marking for future construction.
Foundation laying.
Installation of metal gates.
Waterproofing.
Construction of walls from foam blocks.
Installation of a transverse concrete beam-lintel above the gates and windows, if any.
If the roof is shed, then the walls are erected with a decrease in one direction.
Organization of ventilation in the garage.
Production of an armored belt around the entire perimeter.
Installation of I-beams across the garage. The laying step is 800 mm, and the beam is brought out of the walls on both sides by 200 mm.
To form the ceiling, grooved boards are laid on the lower edges of the beams.
Laying waterproofing on a wooden base.
Installation of roofing material.

For the construction of a garage from foam blocks, it is recommended to use blocks with a density of 600–800 kg / m 3. They belong to the category of structural and thermal insulation and are characterized by increased strength. If you purchase a material with a lower density, then it will be too fragile, and this is undesirable.

Usually foam blocks of such dimensions are used 200 × 300 × 600 mm. To increase the thermal insulation properties of the walls, blocks of 200 × 400 × 600 mm can be used. If it is necessary to increase the thickness of the walls, then masonry with the wide side down, its thickness is 300 or 400 mm.

Beginner masters usually use a cement-sand mortar for laying blocks. Professionals prefer perlite. Using this material, the effect of a "warm seam" is obtained. In price, perlite is inexpensive, however, it prevents the appearance of a cold bridge through the seams. After all, it is these places that are most vulnerable in such a building.

If you didn’t manage to buy perlite, then get a dry mix of “thermoshovs”.

If you managed to make the foundation relatively even, the first row should still be laid on the mortar. This will prevent the appearance of cracks from point loads, and the block, the solution up to 2 cm thick, will “find” its place.

Another feature of working with a foam block is its fragility. Therefore, even if you bought blocks with a high density, lay a reinforcing metal mesh every 2-3 rows. Also, ligation of the sutures is mandatory. The walls will not be monolithic and durable if there is no dressing with the adjacent row or at the corners.

When building a garage of two floors, for laying a reinforced concrete floor panel, fill in an armored belt with a thickness of 200 mm. This will be enough to protect fragile blocks from being crushed, and the whole structure as a whole will provide better strength.

To build a garage from cinder blocks, it is enough to make a foundation, 500 mm deep and up to 400 mm wide. The process of its pouring sequence is the same as for the foam block garage described above. When the concrete is dry, roofing material is necessarily laid, which will serve as a waterproofing. As for the erection of walls, there are no special sacraments here. The principle of operation is the same as bricklaying.

If desired, cinder block walls can be plastered, painted, sheathed with clapboard, insulated, etc. It all depends on financial capabilities and the prevailing climate in your area.

Mobility

Bought a garage reinforced concrete products, it will take only a few hours to assemble it; from reinforced concrete slabs - a few days. If it is necessary to transfer it to a new place, there will be no difficulties with this - the garage is easily dismantled and ready for assembly.

Variety of options

Today you can buy a garage of any design - factories concrete goods supply a huge number of wall panels with gates, gates, floor slabs, entrances to and.

Such garages can be built in any configuration and size, carrying out your own design in accordance with your operating requirements.

Disadvantages:

When constructing prefabricated structures, it is necessary to have special equipment.
The built garage cannot be rescheduled.
Incorrect transportation of reinforced concrete structures leads to their deformation, worsens their characteristics and complicates assembly, which reduces the operational and technical characteristics of the prefabricated structure.

In this regard, during the construction process, the correct organization of transportation and storage is required. slabs And concrete blocks.

Where is it reasonable to build?

The rules for the construction of objects of this class are specified in the documents: SNiP 30-02-97 And SP 30-102-99.

The regulations state that construction design garages in the basement and basement floors, incl. and attached is allowed without compliance with the standards.

SNIP regulates only that outbuildings should be located one meter from the boundaries of the site and the distance between adjacent buildings with combustible floors should be at least 10 meters.

If a country house is being built, then reinforced concrete garage built under the house, there are noticeable advantages:

at least one hundred square meters of land is saved for other needs;
the car can be freely put in and taken out of the garage without disturbing the household;
the necessary things and tools are constantly in the house, even in winter;
this construction option is not more expensive than building a separate garage.

If you choose a garage as annex, then, of course, the main issue will be its reliability, functionality and convenience; in other words, price-quality.

With reliability, everything is clear - the stronger the garage, the better. But its construction will cost a fairly significant amount. Purchase, delivery, invitation of workers. On the other hand reliability And durability.

If you are planning to live in a country house or in a garden, then the construction reinforced concrete garage is a justified decision. But for paperwork, you still have to stand in queues, which can take more than one month.

A metal garage costs about $1,000, and additionally, its construction will require the cost of delivering materials and the cost of a foundation tape (small). The construction will take a short time, you will get an excellent solution that protects the car from the sun and rain, in principle this is enough in the country.

Attention: The advantage of a metal garage is that there is no need to finish the walls, conduct water and a garage. A garage in a garden or summer cottage is primarily an automobile shelter.

If you need a place to store tools for the garden, the device in the garage of a small shelving will solve the problem. An inspection pit is also not required, this is an additional savings, since it does not require waterproofing costs.

If the cottage or garden is not a place of permanent residence, but only a personal plot with a holiday home, then this option is optimal due to its economy.

Factories reinforced concrete products make various options for garages in size and weight, depending on the model. The weight of a reinforced concrete garage varies between 10 And 17 tons. The set includes a concrete floor and a gate.

Reinforced concrete garage size:

Building

The important point here is the choice places And project construction. If earlier prefabricated reinforced concrete garages were built on the spot - it was poured, reinforcement was knitted, formwork was made, concrete was poured and everything was thoroughly rammed, then the labor intensity, time and price of such a garage was quite high.

Modern technology has become much easier. Purchase of a prefabricated structure at the factory concrete goods reduces costs by about half. Such a garage made of concrete slabs is designed for simple assembly, detailed instructions are attached to it. Even the owners of the garage themselves can assemble it without the help of builders.

Assembly steps:

basement panels are installed (if provided);
floor slabs are installed;
garage walls are being assembled;
the gate panel is installed;
floor panels are installed (hollow);
roof is installed.

Work will require lifting mechanisms. The plates are fastened with anchor bolts and brackets. To install the gate, you will need a welding machine. The advantage is that there is no need for finishing work inside and outside the garage.

For insulation of a collapsible concrete garage, it is usually used Styrofoam. This eliminates the need for internal heating.

The foam is attached to the solution to the outer walls of the garage, plastic dowels are also used to secure it.

After that, a network of plaster is applied, recessed into the glue, which is applied to the foam.

At the final stage, putty is applied, and if necessary, paint is applied.

Waterproofing It is applied to any garage bases. It is installed at a height 15-25 cm from ground level to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls.

Waterproofing is divided into horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal done using roofing felt, adhesive on heated bitumen in 2 layers. It is used in basementless garages, it is done around the entire perimeter of the garage along the foundation edge (its upper edge), but above ground level (mandatory).

If the garage has one, in addition to the main one, protection against capillary moisture is applied. For this it serves vertical waterproofing at the level of the bottom of the foundation under the outer walls. It is also arranged on the outer edges of the outer walls of the basement. For these purposes, the edges are leveled with cement and bitumen.

If the ground waters are above the basement floor, the basement should be protected closed shell performed continuously.

The basement floor over the water insulation is made of cement or concrete.

It is made from biostable coatings and water-resistant impregnations.

The wood is impregnated 2-3 times with heated mixtures with an interval of a day. After drying, the tree can be painted. The tree is painted with oil paints, paints with rubber are also good, they paint any surface.

Important: It is better to make a viewing hole if the groundwater does not rise too high.

If, nevertheless, a viewing hole is planned, it is recommended to place it outside the permanent parking of the car or make cover to close the hole.

Heat precast concrete garage central heating is quite expensive and inefficient. Electric heating is more efficient. There are many ways, in our time there are many devices and auxiliary devices that regulate the temperature and operating time of electrical appliances.

What devices can be used for heating finished concrete garage:

electric heating boiler;
thermal convector;
underfloor heating system;
infrared heating.

Auxiliary devices for heating:

socket timer (controls heating by time);
thermostat sensor (holds the set temperature in the room).

Finishing outside and inside

flat roofs covered with roofing felt, glass or euroslate. It's cheap, simple, easy to do, and these materials provide good water protection. But they fall into disrepair through 5-10 years, have low resistance to damage.

pitched roofs covered with galvanized sheets, metal tiles, profiled sheets or slate. Materials do not deteriorate for a long time, are durable and hold heat well, are resistant to temperature changes and are also fire resistant. Them minus- Higher price and difficult to install.

If the garage is used in winter and is heated, its roof must be insulate.

Wall decoration:

Finishing modern prefabricated garages carried out either with cement plaster or decorating materials, such as a block house, siding, artificial stone.

Ceiling waterproofed with special compounds for these works (for example, Hydrotex-U), used for sealing seams, joints and cracks. After that, a fiberglass tape is glued to problem areas, and a primer from a penetrating solution is applied to the entire ceiling. Next are already underway finishing.

Three rules of work:

finishing is carried out with fireproof and chemically resistant materials;
materials should not get too dirty, absorb odors and should be easy to wash;
materials that are highly resistant to damage must be used.

In conclusion:

Concrete garages are simple and reliable, they durable and also warmer than their brick counterparts. Their disadvantage may be some uniformity and higher price. They also have an advantage in price over monolithic concrete ones. And if the financial issue is not a priority when building a car dwelling, a garage made of concrete blocks will serve you. a very long time.

A necessary and important building for any car owner is a garage, which will cover the car from the weather and protect it from prying eyes, and will allow you to comfortably do minor repairs. When building a building, the most profitable, convenient and fastest option is a slab garage.

Basically, two types of materials are used for installation:

Reinforced concrete prefabricated slabs.
OSB boards.

In this article, we will consider both methods, talk about the materials used, technical specifications, and assembly features.

Precast concrete garage

For the construction of this type of building, a foundation is not required (see), the slabs are placed on a base that is leveled and sprinkled with sand.

During construction, sets of special garage plates are used, which include:

Three blank wall panels.
One panel with an opening for the gate.
Floor slab.
Floor plate.

The advantages of this type of construction are as follows:

Assembly speed. The garage is assembled according to the type of constructor, which takes much less time, only welding is required to connect the elements of the kit. Although options are now being produced that are connected without welding, using brackets and anchors, and welding will only be needed when.

Durability and reliability. The structure of garage slabs has served for decades and guarantees the safety of the car.
The room inside does not require large investments in decoration, basically, it is enough to paint or whitewash the walls and ceiling.
A reinforced concrete garage is much warmer than monolithic or metal buildings, but to save electricity and reduce heat loss, some owners additionally cover the walls with foam plastic or a mineral plate.

The disadvantages include the need to attract equipment for the installation of plates and the rather high cost of the kit. But the price can be reduced by making some items yourself.

Garage walls and floors

A set of garage wall slabs has a small mass, reduced thickness (120–150 mm), each slab is equipped with built-in embedded parts, which ensure reliable assembly of the frame.

To reduce the cost of construction, the flooring can also be made by hand. A monolithic slab for a garage is poured first, the base surface is reinforced with a mesh or separate connected rods with a diameter of 12–16 mm in increments of 200–300 mm, covered with a concrete mixture, vibrated and leveled.

Important! Since the building is a self-supporting structure and is not subjected to heavy loads, when pouring slabs with your own hands, you can use used fittings for installing grids, having previously cleaned it and coated it with an anti-corrosion compound. The protective layer of concrete above the mesh must be at least 30 mm, and a slight slope of the floor slab is made towards the gate.

At the corners of the building, a corner or pipe is vertically installed on the floor slab, which will serve as the basis of the frame, wall panels are welded to them.

If necessary, first they dig a pit for the installation of additional basement slabs, then they also fill the base with concrete with reinforcement, and wall panels are mounted on it. The sinuses are covered with soil with layer-by-layer tamping and water spillage. If this is not done, then the floor in the garage may sag during seasonal ground movements.

Work on the arrangement of the above-ground part of the garage can only be carried out with complete shrinkage of the earth in the sinuses, therefore, after the construction of the viewing hole, it is necessary to wait at least 3 months.

Garage roof

Typically, the roof on the building is made single-pitched (see) or gable, and hollow-core floor slabs are used for the garage, as they are lighter, and empty channels in the body of the slab provide better thermal insulation.

The roofing device is made according to the following technology:

Floor slabs are mounted on the solution, the support of the long sides on the walls is at least 100 mm, and the ends - 150 mm.
The seams between the plates are filled with fine-grained mortar or mounting foam.
A truss system is mounted for a single or double-pitched roof.
The surface of the plates is coated with a special impregnation for dust removal and better adhesion of materials to each other.
A layer of vapor barrier is laid to protect the insulation from condensation during temperature changes.
A layer of insulation is laid (expanded clay, slag, mineral plate or rolled materials).
Waterproofing is installed to protect the insulation from getting wet, and the garage from leaks.
Roofing material is laid on the rafters.

If the roof is made flat, shed, then several layers of roofing material are used, glued onto a bitumen base with an overlap of joints of 150 mm.

Important! The roof must have a slope of at least 5%, if it is impossible to bring it out with a floor slab, then a drain is made using a cement-sand mortar screed.

OSB garage

One of the new materials used for the construction of a garage is OSB boards, which are produced by pressing from long wood shavings based on special polymer resins. Why are wood-oriented boards good and why are they popular?

Garage near the house, made of osb slabs

This:

Low cost compared to reinforced concrete or monolithic options.
It does not require the involvement of equipment, the plates are light in weight, they are easy to transport and assemble.
High moisture resistance and excellent strength characteristics.
Plates can be easily processed, sawn, drilled, they can be used to build a garage of any architectural complexity, harmoniously fitting into the overall composition of the house.

The OSB slab garage is mounted on a strip foundation with a depth of about 400 mm, this is enough, since the building belongs to light frame buildings. The width depends on the thickness of the walls plus 100 mm.

Another option may be a slab foundation, it is poured onto a leveled base with reinforcement. The dimensions of the foundation are calculated based on the area of \u200b\u200bthe building. Such a base can simultaneously serve as a floor in the room. Above, we already talked about how to make a slab for a garage.

Frame garage construction technology

A building of this type has excellent strength indicators, is simple in design and decoration:

Construction begins with the construction of a frame made of timber or a metal profile.
Wall openings from the inside are filled with a continuous flooring of boards 150x50 mm.
One side is sewn up taking into account the opening for the gate.
Outside, insulation is attached to the boards in one or two layers.
The walls from the street are also recruited with a board.
The frame is sheathed with OSB boards from the outside and from the inside.

Important! Under the slabs, it is necessary to fix a waterproofing film to prevent moisture from penetrating to the wooden frame.

Hollow slabs in OSB garages are perfect for flooring, they are relatively light in weight, so the walls will not be subjected to heavy loads.
The roof truss system is mounted, the crate is installed, which is covered with roofing material.
The garage is sheathed on the outside with finishing material (plastic or metal siding is perfect).
The floor is poured, a slope of 3 degrees is made towards the gate.

It must also be said that of the four types of boards produced, the most popular in terms of technical characteristics for the construction of garages is OSB 3, it successfully combines the price and quality of the material.
