How to make a carport in the courtyard of a private house

If you live in a private house or you have a country house, then, most likely, you at least once thought about making a canopy. Many immediately after the appearance of such a thought, they learn it, because they believe that it is too expensive, but do it yourself - the task on the verge of fiction. In fact, it is not difficult to make a canopy if there is a detailed instruction and all the necessary tools. Let's deal with this issue more.

Select design

When the owner of a private house wants to reflect and plan the yard space, it often suggests constructing a canopy. The design of this type is considered practical and reliable, it can even be said that universal, because it performs a number of goals, the main of which is the protection of the car and everything that is under it. Now we'll figure it out how to make a canopy with your own hands so that the costs are minimal, and the design turned out to be very strong and practical.

First of all, it is necessary to choose the right place in the yard, where such a canopy will be located:

• Here you need to take into account all the parameters of the future facilities - configuration, height and area.
• It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the construction under consideration should not be strongly influenced by natural lighting in the house or dacha (depending on what yard you will install it).
• Do not forget that the future design should not be in a way to interfere with the power lines that pass in the yard.
• Now we smoothly go to the selection of direct design, which differ in the roof configuration.

Types of roof:

• Single one. If you are a novice in this matter, then it will be the easiest way to make this design. Here, an important factor is the correct calculation of the angle of inclination, but do not forget about choosing the material for this. It is clear that, like any other design. She has its own characteristics and, among other things, the disadvantages, namely, with lateral wind, this design does not really protect you from bad weather.
• Double. For the house it is considered a very good option, because snow and other precipitations are uniformly, among other things, it is able to protect against oblique rain and wind.
• Arched. Aesthetically look very attractive, and it is very convenient to exploit such a canopy. In this case, the basis of such a canopy is polycarbonate. Problems may occur with the immediate assembly of the design under consideration. The thing is that such material breaks very easily, and therefore, to avoid it, it is necessary to press the sheets to do very tightly to each other.

The main elements of the design and materials for them

Before starting the construction of the design under consideration, it is necessary to determine what exactly there will be a canopy. The main requirements of the requirements are usually durability, reliability, aesthetic appearance, durability.

The main elements in the design of the canopy are:

• Packs of support type. It should be noted that the chapter of their task is to withstand the load, which gives roofing on them.
• The fixation system of the material to be clearer, it is easier to say that before installing roofing material, usually make a lattice base.
• Material for roof. From this will depend on the strength, operational abilities, durability and aesthetic appearance of the entire structure.

Instructions for the manufacture of a canopy in the courtyard of a private house

To in the process of installing and assembling the design under consideration, no problems arise, it is necessary to follow the step-by-step instructions, which will be shown below:

• First of all, we need to prepare a "polygon" for our carport - the area is necessary, as it should be, pour concrete. If it is too global for you, then the laying of the tile will also fit. In the event that this option does not suit you, then you can simply fill with concrete only the places where supporting structures will be standing for the future canopy. The main thing is that the surface is perfectly smooth.

• We establish the columns of the support type and, of course, as it should be fixed. The correct position to believe you will help the level or if it is not, then, plumb.
• In order to fix tight supports, you can also use rigidity ribs.
• Now we smoothly go to the process of mounting the base of the future roof of our carport. We need to fit it well in the design of the reference type.
• Install the roofing material you chose earlier. The complexity of this process will depend directly on which material you have chosen.
• After the processes done above, it is mandatory to check how reliable you made the design.
• Remember that in the case of use in the assembly of this design of the profile tubes, do not forget about their careful primer and painting before the assembly process.

As it became clear from the above information, construct and install a canopy with their own hands is easy, the main thing is that all materials be for this, as well as know the sequence of all processes.

It looks very beautifully a canopy made entirely of wood. But here, too, have its own nuances, the main of which is the high cost of this design. Even if you prepare it yourself, the price of raw materials is also rather big, so you will have to spend in any case.
