The foundation on screw piles is considered universal and reliable base for an individual house or cottage. For low-rise construction, products are used for small size, which makes it possible for their independent manufacture. The result of creating your own piles will be a significant reduction in the cost of building.

First of all, we study the technical basis. The pile screw is a hollow metal tube with a support on one side and blades to another. The product device is shown in the drawing.
2
We produce calculations, given the highlights: the properties of the soil and the depth of freezing, the pressure of the structure to the ground, the height of the base, the diameter of the barrel and the amount of piles. We select dimensions from the table.

Preparing materials and tools:
Welding machine;
Bulgarian;
Drill;
Pipes straight suture stamps ST10;
Steel thickness of at least 5 mm brand ST3;
Screws.

Circles for blades became cut from sheets. Then, attaching the items in the vice, pull them with a sledgehamal blows to the desired sizes.
5
Cut blanks for the manufacture of tips. Their form must resemble a cone, otherwise the installation of piles will significantly complicate.
6
At the end of the pipe, the tip and prepared screw are welded.
7
At the other end of the pipe, the bolts are fixed, which will later be fused the reference site. Also drove holes for scrap used as a lever. The resulting product is cleaned, processed by the compositions to remove rust. Covered with primer and two layers of paint. Part of the screw pile, located in the ground, is additionally protected by the anti-corrosion composition.

In this order, the desired number of screw piles is manufactured. The amount depends on the area of \u200b\u200bconstruction and the step between the columns. The optimal distance between the screw supports is 2.5-3 m.
As you can see, the manufacture of screw piles with their own hands is a completely feasible task. The main thing is to do everything thoughtfully and echo. The advantages of the screw foundation can be understood by looking at the video.
