Wooden deck-scaffolding for a country house: we equip the flooring on the plotOwners of suburban areas, characterized by a complex relief shape, trying very comfortably to equip the terrain, often choose wood deck decks. Raised above the ground wood decks are able not only to expand the space in front of the house, but also help to"master"a part that is unusable, for the main eye, for the sake of use. Where the hilly bottom of the rain turns into a slippery appearance, the woody dec is a perfect sentence.
Decks in landscape design
The base of the platform is laid for thick beams or straight for the ground wood strips. Such bridges are appropriate for areas with uneven terrain. With their help it is allowed to achieve at least a few goals:
use a hilly view, turning it into a comfortable place for recreation;
Strengthen the slopes of the hillock, keeping the soil through slipping by the action of precipitation.
Wood flooring is a beautiful element of landscape design, for which it is permissible to equip a place for rest, or to take instead of an open veranda. Some owners build the platforms not only for the first, but even for the upper floors of the suburban cottage. Dec is a functional design that can walk a decent-looking classic terrace for the first floor
Dec does not necessarily have to walk part of the house. It is allowed to encircle a hole in a pond, an imaginary basin, or make a rest area closer to the garden.
For such a platform, it's always comfortable to assume, putting the garden conditions for an even look. With it through it is allowed to equip at least some room for the site, using even"islands", which are not applicable to the main eye, for the sake of use. The porch, built before the porch, can smoothly cross into the secret courtyard patio, connecting with it a chain of steps
The use of azure, presented to the market in a wide palette of colors, gives the ability to implement all the design exterior solutions
The fire resistance of wood floors is achieved through additional surface treatment with flame retardants.
Stop #2 - layout of the design
Dimensions and dimensions of the dais depend on places where it is enough to occupy the deck, and its purpose. Do not place the platform in the full shadow created by the wall of the house. Dampness and shading are a fertile day for the development of the fungus. If the Dec is enough to perform the occupation of the dining area, then provide enough space for the installation of furniture decoration, allocating space for the sake of free passage
Plan to remove the platform for the adoption of solar procedures and recreation with the family - calculate the place for the installation of sun loungers.
In order to visualize what terrain will cover the decks, and like it looks pretty from the windows of the upper floors, draw the order of the structure. The order of the plot is better to write for millimeter paper, maintaining a single measure of buildings. If the platform is quite built for the slope, for the sake of indicating the slope, draw the visibility of the structure from the side. A well-designed drawing will simplify the task of determining the height of the pillars for the sake of creating a perfectly horizontal surface.
According to the location, the sites are determined where the supporting pillars will be dug. To choose a location near the installation of piles do not forget to take into account the pipes of communications laid to the house in the ground. Your task is to provide necessary access to inspection hatches for the sake of preventive and repair work, as necessary.
For the construction of the platform, tools will be useful:
roulette;
gon;
cutter;
Screwdriver
building height;
Sandpaper.
The size of the binding of the future flooring depends on the width of the boards used. For example: for the purpose of laying a deck with a conventional pattern consisting of 21 boards, you will need to design a harness that fairly corresponds to a total width of 21 boards and plus 10 cm that will go for 20 gaps between them. For no reason, through the selected drawing boards are laid for a platform with a gap of 5 mm: this is in order to prevent the stop of rainwater
Stop #3 - installing pillars
The installation of the deck for"floating"soils for the sake of increasing the strength and reliability of the construction of wood does not penetrate into the ground, but set for concrete slabs equipped with rectangular sockets.
Any base board with a width of 15 mm has the shape of a square with a side of 400 mm. They are located for an equidistant distance of 1.4 meters. For all this, the gap is measured not through the edge of the plate, but through the center.
Having determined the places of installation of plates and poles, in the planned areas, remove the green plaque of the earth and pour a bit of rubble. Plates are laid for compacted rubble, filled with concrete, and smooth according to the level. It is proud to take care that the slabs of nests are placed in accordance with one strip and create an unbiased angle with respect to the wall of the nearest building.
The remaining unprotected view of the land is lined with pieces of agrofiber. Opaque matter enough to interfere with the growth of grass. For the sake of fixing the non-woven fabric and fixing the effect, the entire view is covered with a small gravel.
Bearing poles are billets made from solid timber or glued from boards, which have a 7.5-centimeter spike at the base. The posts are inserted with studs into the nests of the plates and screwed to the plates with bolts. As necessary, the support racks are always allowed to adjust according to the height, having drunk the excess. For the sake of extending the time of the building, the wooden surfaces of the poles are treated with a disinfectant and moisture repellent composition
It is proud to take care of the installation of the pillars so that the support located in the lowest place does not fall below the enigmatic height of the platform. The horizontal surface of the surface is always inspected, orienting for the building height.
Stop #4 - the binding action
Having installed the supporting pillars, they begin to make the harness. First lay out the outer beams, fixing them for the corners with butt-ends. Installed in parallel to the wall of the house, the intermediate lower beams are laid for truncated posts. The beams, which will be installed in accordance with the perimeter of the deck, are laid horizontally and nailed with the nails near the pillars
For this reason, alternately holding each support near the pillars, smoothing its horizontality according to the alcohol level. Fix the beams covered with zinc screws or 10-centimeter nails. Be the arrangement of a different level platform, separately pierce the crossbeams before the lower and then the upper level. All the beams are connected by butts to the outside corners.
For the assembled frame and supporting pillars, the intermediate beams are laid. It is proud to take care that slices of intermediate beams are one level with the upper border of the outer frame.
Stop #5 - laying the flooring
The development of laying a platform is not much less than the process of flooring of ordinary floors. After filming the board with the length equal to the distance through one outer beam before another, they spread them across the frame.
If the dais adjoins the wall of the house, the first one is laid down, placing it for a distance of 10-15 mm through a vertical surface. In the forthcoming laying of the strips for the sake of ventilation and natural expansion of the woody species between the boards, a gap of 5 mm is maintained
To facilitate the task of observing a suitable distance between adjacent decking planks, the use of a calibrated wood liner will help.
The flooring is fixed to the platform with screws, nails or special clamps. For the sake of reinforcing the attachment in addition to the self-tapping screws, the masters are advised to also remove the building glue. It is applied to the ends of the platform with a pistol. However, this method of mounting is fraught with that, then it is impossible to move the board glue hard enough. This will complicate the correction in case of damage to the deck.
For the top of the installed and fixed first board plant a second strip. In order to densely dock the elements, the top is neatly taped with a hammer. At the home corner of the crest against each of the logs, holding a 45 ° angle, nails are hammered.
For the sake of fixing, it is worth taking nails, which are 2 times longer than the thickness of the boards. By hammering nails, it is very proud to deepen the hats so that they do not interfere with the usual landing of the adjacent board in the next. If to be hammered in a board break up, it is necessary to blunt ends of carnations, having pricked them with a hammer. Personally, the bait of driving is better to own around a small slope towards the middle of the board.
The boards are stacked along the entire length of the flooring, placing them so that the convex side of the annual rings looks upwards: this will minimize the transverse warpage and prevent cracking of the tree species
Nailing strips, it is proud to at times keep under control the dimensions of the non-sewn part of the platform. In order for the last board to come out of full width, adjust the width of the gaps as necessary in accordance with the work progress. For the sake of adjusting the dimensions of the flooring, the last board is sawn almost in the latter case.
The laid and fixed boards are cropped. For this purpose, along the sides of the platform, chalk strips are made, according to which the protruding ends of the boards are cut off. In order to get very raznenkie slices, use guide rails.
The finished platform is crocheted, polished and covered with several layers of semi-matt or glossy varnish. If the deck is raised higher than for 50 cm through the ground level, it is enclosed by rails. By engaging the corner pillars, in accordance with the perimeter of the deck, construct the side rails, placing horizontally for the height of 45 cm the bars measuring 7.5x5 mm
Of the bars section of 3.8 cm do billets near the intermediate thin balusters. They are nailed around the railing, placing a well-wisher at a distance of 5-7 cm through a friend.
We make decks part of nature
If a beautiful tree grows in the boundaries of the proposed platform, do not rush through it. Natural elements you can always include in the intention of the deck. When planning to enter a tree in the platform, the construction of the structure will have to be performed around the obstacle of the inner frame
Clearance in the floor is allowed to be thrown open, or to decorate it with boards for no reason, so that they go around the plant. Surrounding the tree with a flooring, consider that, according to the growth rate, it is quite multiplied by the dimensions not only upwards, but also in breadth. For the step of determining the dimensions and drawing up the drawing of the future building, it is proud to foresee the sake of the tree for a sufficient place of the actual place
The flooring can not be strengthened to the trunk of a tree. It's bad for the sake of the greenest plantation, for no reason and for the sake of construction. A barrel swinging near the gusts of the wind can disrupt the integrity of the platform.
Complexities in the care of the deco especial are not. It is necessary to consider the species for a few times a year for the presence of cracks, which can be created during the drying of the tree species. In order to preserve the presentability and extend the operational properties of the platform, the exact paint layers should be updated.
