Building the garden house - instructions and practical tips
Garden sheds, be it as convenient storage space for garden tools and bicycles or as a second living room in the summer months, are becoming increasingly popular. Due to the many different sizes and designs can be found for almost every taste and need the right thing. But what about the assembly, is this also for laymen to accomplish? We think so, because the structure is easier than many suspect.
Which tools are needed?
If you have already built a foundation for the garden shed, you only need the following aids for the assembly:
To set up a garden house alone can be a show of strength. One or two people who help you a lot will make the job a lot easier.
The preparation
Regardless of whether you have decided on an element or log cabin, you should open all the packages and check them for completeness before assembling. Please do not just lay the wooden parts on the floor, but use large plastic tarpaulins as a base. This protects the surface from unsightly dirt.
Untreated wood should now be painted or painted on the inside and outside to protect it from the weather.
The assembly instructions
Are you also one of those people who put the instructions aside smiling and think, "It works that way". But it would be extremely annoying if you had to find out in the almost finished built cottage that something went wrong. Take your time and read through the entire instruction in peace.
The floor
In the garden house made of prefabricated elements, the bottom plate is usually already assembled. In the log cabin, however, are found in the package often several bearing piles, which are placed according to the blueprint at approximately equal intervals on the foundation. In both models, there is a recess for the door on one side, which can also be used to determine the position of the arbor.
Set up house of elements
At the element house, you now have to screw on the missing side covers, then it can already go to the final construction:
In order to avoid gaps between the elements, always fix with screw clamps. Afterwards the door is used on most models. Again, work very carefully so that everything closes clean. Only then are the elements bolted to the base plate.
Attention: Depending on the model, a different approach may be required. Please follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
The first row of boards at the log house
If you screw the designed bearing beams to the first row of planks, precise work is very important. To make sure all the walls get straight, make sure that the frame is at a right angle. This succeeds easily by means of a Zimmermannswinkels. Corrections can now be made easily.
Subsequently, a screed is always attached to the right and left, front and back and connected with a bat. Depending on the model, the door is used when reaching the second to fourth plank position.
The plan helps you to see where the window is positioned and how much to set it.
The roof
The construction of the house roof is the same for most houses, regardless of the construction method:
At the log cabin, it is still up to the laying of the floorboards in the interior.
Set up metal appliance house.
These are very easy to assemble, as all parts are prefabricated. Again, first provide a stable surface, a record foundation is recommended. After a thorough study of the assembly instructions it is time to build up. This usually happens as follows:
Tips
Please consider already during the planning that you need a state-specific building permit depending on the size and location of the garden shed.
