Frame extension to the wooden one. Preparation for construction work

One of the advantages of private households is the ability, if necessary, to increase the usable area by adding an additional one to the main structure. Thus, residential or utility rooms, to whom what functionality was not enough. In order for the extension to improve the living conditions of the owners, and not organize problems for them, it must be built according to existing technologies, and not according to the principle "somehow, if only it would be cheaper." Therefore, we will figure out how to properly settle down to the house, relying on generally accepted methods and experience of FORUMHOUSE users.

Foundation

There are two types of foundation for an extension - a rigid hitch and expansion joint.

rigid hitch
Such a connection is designed for non-rocky soil and is justified when erecting a heavy structure of two or more floors, but only if the main building has already settled down and the village. The new foundation must be of the same type as the main one (tape, slab) and match in depth, taking into account possible shrinkage. A bunch of tapes is made by means of reinforcement, for which the foundation of the house is dug out to the full depth; in the working area, too much exposure is fraught with deformation.

Holes for reinforcement are drilled in a checkerboard pattern in the foundation web, on the basis that their length is 35 times the diameter of the rod, and the length of the reinforcement itself is twice as large as the depth of the holes. The reinforcement is driven into the holes, in the future the protruding part will be filled with concrete, a common monolith will be obtained. A bunch of plates is possible with a thickness of more than 40 cm and the presence of a protrusion of the main plate of 30 cm; for coupling, the reinforcement is beaten off and welded to the reinforcing cage of the new plate.

To perform a rigid hitch, it must be borne in mind that the flooded one, connected to the main one, must settle, ideally within a year. If it is not possible to withstand such a period, it is better to use another method.

Expansion joint
The most common type of bond is when a completely independent one is poured near the old foundation. Optimal on heaving soils for lightweight structures, the thickness of the seam is from 2 to 5 cm. To aesthetically connect the foundations, and
the seam at the junction remained the same along the entire length; boards pre-wrapped with polyethylene or roofing felt are used. Since the load on the base will be less, the drawdown will also be less, and the seam will allow the extension to “play” as planned without affecting the integrity of the house.

During the construction process, the joint between the walls is filled with insulation, and the seam itself is subsequently sealed with elastic means or closed with special flashings. One of the users found an interesting solution - overlays from of stainless steel, between which - a layer of corrugated rubber.

In principle, you can buy such a “closing” for an expansion joint, immediately insulate the distance between the walls normally, close it from the street with a “closing”, and if over time there is shrinkage, compression or stretching, the “closing” compensates for this moment. And in order to return the rubber to its previous shape, it will be possible to unscrew the screws from the left side and drill again, in new places in the bricks.

Since the foundations are not interconnected, any type can be chosen for the extension, based on the characteristics of the soil and the expected load. It can be slab (monolith or UWB), tape (MZF or to the freezing depth) or columnar (pile).

Portal users prefer joining foundations through expansion joints, as the most justified and safe way.

Whatever good (non-rocky) soil, if it is not a rock, then you should expect shrinkage of the foundation of the extension in relation to the main house. Accordingly, measures must be taken to ensure that these shrinkages are non-destructive to the structure and provide acceptable functional properties of the structure. Hence: annex - in fact new house next to the old lightweight design, whose walking is permissible, and violations of the horizontal floor and jamming of doors are permissible.

materials

The modern building materials market offers big choice for every taste and budget. Extensions made of foam concrete, aerated concrete, cinder block and similar large-format masonry varieties and frame structures are most in demand today. Frames are in the lead due to the speed of construction, relative accessibility and simplicity; in terms of energy efficiency, they are not inferior to stone buildings due to the use of heaters.

However, if possible, it is recommended to choose a material similar to the main one: a wooden extension to wooden house etc. This is especially true for houses that are not supposed to be sewn up with the same facade as the extension. If you plan to use siding or similar cladding, the choice is not limited.

Wall tie options

An extension to the house can have four walls or three, then the role of the fourth plays outer wall Houses. Four walls are relevant in extensions from masonry materials, a bunch of walls is not required, and compliance with the masonry level gives an even seam. The presence of a layer of insulation between the walls allows the use of blocks for the adjoining wall smaller thickness. At frame construction sliding ligaments are used: two vertical beams are stuffed onto the wall, between which they start vertical bar extensions.

Connecting beams in the annex

When the extension is assembled from profiled or glued timber or logs, the walls are connected to the house either with metal brackets or with special galvanized corners with a shelf of 63 mm or more.
The corners are planted on self-tapping screws, leaving a small gap for shrinkage. The seam in both cases is closed with a flashing or platband. Also, the joining of the beams in the extension is carried out by means of a tenon-groove system, the grooves are selected in bearing wall, the tenon is cut on the recessed segments.

Roof

The extension is being built under common roof when a rigid connection is made, if an expansion joint is selected, it is easier to cover the building separately, sealing the junction. Depending on the roofing material, the seam is closed with a stainless steel apron, 30 cm wide or with a special decorative element.

Rigid connection to the house from a bar.

The shrinkage of the extension in relation to the main house imposes certain restrictions on the arrangement of the roof. Therefore, in practice, making an extension with a roof such as a continuation of the existing one should be deliberate and reasonable.

Functional

As with the construction of a house, before erecting an extension, it is necessary to determine in advance the functionality, since different purposes require appropriate construction manipulations. If it is supposed to make living rooms, enhanced insulation is necessary. For the boiler room, bathroom or kitchen, communications are immediately laid. It's easier to change your mind and close a couple plastic pipes into the wall than to decide that another bathroom is more needed and peck at a freshly built one.

Legalization

Before construction capital extension permission must be obtained. In the city, this is done by the department of architecture and urban planning, in rural settlements - by the administration. You can build without papers, but then when you try to sell, bequeath or donate a house with an extension, you still have to draw up documents, but it’s more difficult, through the courts. In the event of a confrontation with the neighbors, they can sue the self-builder and insist on the demolition.

For anyone planning an extension, it is useful to study the topic on the forum. The user experience of our portal in the topic is also interesting. The article will help determine the type of foundation under future design. And our video will teach you

If the owner personal plot decided that he needed an extension to a brick house, the first thing to do was to decide on the purpose of this structure. If it will be used for recreation, it can be built in the format of a gazebo or terrace. If necessary, the veranda can be insulated and turned into a closed terrace, which will serve as a vestibule between land plot and entrance to the house. This will prevent cold air from entering the living space. For those who live in a house in the autumn winter period, the insulated extension will become ideal option.

The extension can serve as a porch, terrace, as well as a kind of vestibule to a brick house.

Before proceeding with construction, an extension to the house must be designed and approved by the appropriate organization. Most often, the veranda is built from the side of the front door. If it is not combined with the entrance to the house, then it will have to be entered from the street. The dimensions of the structure are selected depending on the number of people living in the house. For a small family, an area of ​​​​12 sq.m. is enough. When designing, it is necessary to take into account the general style of the house and the site. Before you make an extension to a brick house, you need to complete some formalities. After the design is thought out, you should contact the building design department. Here you can order finished project, with which you will go to the city architectural bureau to obtain permission to redevelop the house. Consider in detail how to make an extension to the house with your own hands.

The first step is to mark the territory and start building the foundation.

It is quite possible to make an extension to a brick house with your own hands correctly. You need to start with the marking of the territory. To do this, remove the fertile layer of soil, which will later be used to form flower beds and flower beds. The area is leveled and marked.

The boundaries of the extension are marked according to the project. At the corners of the veranda under construction, pegs are driven in with a nylon cord stretched between them. Any building requires a solid foundation, for which you can choose a columnar or strip base. The foundation for the extension is not recommended to be combined with the base of the house, since these structures have different degrees of shrinkage.

It is necessary to leave a distance of 4-5 cm between the base of the house and the extension. When building the base, the planned mass of the structure and the characteristics of the soil should be taken into account. During construction on heaving soils, a shift in the foundation is possible, which leads to the separation of the veranda from the walls of the house. Lightweight foundations cannot withstand the weight of brick walls, so it is not recommended to build a brick extension based on them. Best to choose strip foundation under an outbuilding.

Before pouring concrete for the foundation, they dig a trench, the dimensions of which depend on the parameters of the veranda under construction. Laying in a hole wooden formwork appropriate design, which is made of boards knocked together. Concrete is prepared from 3 parts of sand, 1 part of cement, 6 parts of crushed stone. The foundation for the extension is poured in layers, the first of the layers is reinforced with large stones. Upper layer smooth with a trowel and leave until completely hardened.

At high temperature air, the foundation for the extension is periodically moistened with water, this will help to avoid the appearance of cracks.

A frame extension to a brick house can be installed on a columnar base. In order to avoid deformation of the building under the influence of heaving of the soil, the foundation supports are laid to a depth below the freezing line.

During construction brick extension supporting pillars they dig in not only at the corners, but also along the perimeter of the structure in increments of 50 cm.

We build extension walls

In construction, materials and tools will be useful to you:

• brick;
• cement;
• sand;
• crushed stone;
• fittings;
• shovel;
• a container for preparing a solution;
• Master OK;
• wooden bars;
• thermal insulation material;
• roofing material.

If you want to quickly build a veranda, you can opt for frame structure. It is assembled according to the principle of the designer and consists of a wooden frame and finished panels with windows and doorways. Finishing work can be carried out immediately after construction. If necessary, the annex can be modified. Now consider how to properly make an extension to a brick building.

A brick extension to the house is more difficult to perform, but you can still build it with your own hands. Before starting the construction of walls, you need to check the evenness of the foundation surface. If it's uneven brickwork may collapse upon shrinkage. Linking an extension to brick wall the building is carried out using holes that are made every 3 brick rows. Reinforcement is laid in them. During construction brick annex to the house, the reinforcement will remain in the seams of the masonry. In order for the distance between the bricks not to be too large, the reinforcing bars should not have too large a diameter.

Before forming the brickwork, a rope is pulled along the wall, with which the horizontal rows will be checked. The thickness of the wall depends on the purpose of the brick extension. If the veranda is residential, the wall is laid out with a thickness of 2 bricks. For utility rooms brickwork can be done in 1 row. After the walls are built, their upper parts are reinforced concrete belt. For this, formwork is made in which they are laid reinforcing cage and pour concrete. After the concrete has hardened, the construction of the floors begins. A garage is attached to the house using the same technology, its dimensions depend on the dimensions Vehicle. The wooden outbuilding is more economical option arrangement of the veranda.

How to make an extension roof

In the final stages, building ceiling, for this use wooden beams. They are installed on the upper parts of the walls in increments of 70 cm. The structural elements are fixed with building corners. Beams can be combined with a concrete belt by waterproofing each element in advance. Thick plywood is placed on top of the beams or wooden planks which are then insulated. An extension to the house can have any shape of the roof. Most often done single slope options consisting of rafters. A mark is made on the wall in the form of a straight line, along which the bars supporting the rafters will be fixed. The rafters are supported by floor beams or the upper parts of the walls. The rafters should protrude 30 cm from the walls to protect them from rain and melt water. Roof elements are fixed with metal corners.

As a conclusion

The quality of the extension depends on the chosen project and materials. Attached to a wooden house or brick cottage can be made of prefabricated panels, wood or brick. Any person with minimal knowledge in the field of construction can build it with his own hands. The foundation for the extension can be tape or columnar.

Any of these bases needs high-quality waterproofing.

Over time, private facilities need to be enlarged for completely different reasons. For example, an increase in the number of people living, equipping the house with sewage, or the desire to enclose front door from direct exposure to cold air. Because of this, there is a need for another room, or an extension of the kitchen area, a bathroom, or simply an extension of the veranda. A frame extension is what you need.

Frame extension to a wooden house

Building a frame extension is an excellent solution to the problem of the need to expand the area. Do-it-yourself extension to the house is usually made of timber, brick or in a combined version. In order not to have to make changes, it is best to initially think through all the features of the structure, because each needs an individual approach.

Additional living room

If there is a need to add another room, you need to try, because all these actions are tantamount to building a small house.

If planned living room, then it must be insulated, heating, interior and exterior decoration

The whole building must be insulated, otherwise the heating will be absolutely useless. It is also necessary to carry out waterproofing so that there is no problem with dampness and fungus.

Bathroom or kitchen

Before you install the foundation, they bring to the construction site engineering Communication. Sometimes you have to separately conduct plumbing.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the insulation of absolutely all the details of the building and think over a thorough waterproofing of the floor in advance.

Veranda

A simple building that is built to protect the main entrance to the building from rain and wind, and is also used in the summer.

An extension to the house can be in the form of a veranda

It can be closed or open. This building does not need special insulation, however, waterproofing is mandatory in any case.

Create a construction project

In the event that the site has big square, then there will be no problems with the construction of the extension, even if it is planned to do all the work with your own hands. In order not to be mistaken with the required area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe annex, it is imperative to draw up a thorough plan.

First, design an extension in the program or on a piece of paper, calculate the costs

Here are a few key tips to keep in mind when planning:

1. Accurately determine the purpose of the extension. It won't necessarily be living space, it is likely that a person needs a veranda, a garage, or just a separate place like a personal office-workshop. All subsequent nuances of construction work will directly depend on this choice: the amount of materials, area, number of openings and much more.
2. Another circumstance can be called the presence of communications in the designed construction site.
3. In addition to the number of materials, you also need to know their type. Thus, it will be possible to calculate the cost of future construction and take care of the quality, which affects the service life.

Thus, an extension made of timber needs a foundation corresponding to that which is under the main structure. If the house was built with his own hands, then the owner of the building knows exactly what kind of foundation it is. Therefore, it will not be particularly difficult to make such a one.

The main nuances you need to know:

• the size of the foundation and the depth of the laying of the foundation;
• material and the right solution.

As a result, it will be necessary to tie the foundation being built to the existing one. After this stage, you can build walls. When the owner of the house does not have any information about the foundation, then studies are carried out to help choose the material and installation. After pouring the foundation, you need to wait a period of about 30 days for it to harden and become strong. Individual attention should be paid to the junctions of only the base made to the old one.

Pile foundation can be done even in winter

You can make a pile element, its installation is not associated with those already built.

Construction of extension walls

After the foundation is ready, they begin to equip the walls - 3 walls, because the 4th is already there, the one to which the room is attached. However, there are also such options when 2 walls are enough, it all depends on the design of the building. An extension to a wooden house, usually, is not difficult at all. Metal plates and other specialized parts are used as fasteners.

pie wall frame house not much different from the wall of the extension, if it is a living room

If additional area from a bar, then you need to consider that the size of the material should not be less than 200 by 200 millimeters, in the case when it is planned permanent residence. It is required to know that the beam is a rather heavy material, and subsequently it shrinks. Only at the end of this process, it is possible to qualitatively and firmly fix the new building to the house itself.

Regarding the time it takes to shrink, this is about a year, or a little more. The duration of this period is affected by the area of ​​the extension, the quality of the material, as well as the condition of the building to which the extension was made. The main rule in this matter is not to rush.

The frame of the shield is slightly subject to shrinkage if the timber used has been dried to the required level.

At the end of shrinkage, the initially delivered fixing materials are removed and fixed in a new place. During the period of precipitation, the structure should be insulated with felt, cotton wool, or some other material.

You can carry out construction work all year round, in winter, prices for building materials and work are several times cheaper

To improve the quality of thermal insulation and give good appearance joints, a special element of wood is used. At the moment of shrinkage, it may shift slightly, so there is a need to remove and strengthen again.

Do not forget about the roof to the extension, it can be made a continuation of the roof of the house, flush with the wall or with an overhang - everything is at the discretion of the owner or designer

When the size of the house is increased, the question of roofing arises. Everything happens in the usual way by standard technology. The approximate order of the roof is as follows:

1. First of all, arrange truss system. Do not forget about compliance with all load characteristics.
2. At the end of the installation of the rafters, they proceed to the creation of the crate, using bars and slats. Instead of this design, solid flooring is sometimes performed - in the role building material boards or plywood will do.
3. Fronton cladding.
4. Hemming of cornices.
5. Installation of wind elements.
6. Direct installation of the roof. The material is chosen independently, based on personal palatability the owner of the house.

Next - the floor, ceiling and other interior finishing work. Installation of openings is not particularly difficult. If the extension to a wooden house is made of the same material, then other details are best done using lumber.

Features of the construction of an extension

Consider important tips builders who are experienced professionals in this area:

1. Actions with the tree must be performed in cold period of the year. When work is carried out at such times, the weather helps to reduce the shrinkage time.
2. The thermal insulation of a structure made of timber is most appropriate inside. This preserves the neat appearance of the building. You can also save a lot on the number of insulating material.
3. We should not forget that an extension to a wooden house needs to be coated with an antibacterial agent that has protective characteristics from the effects of moisture. Refractory treatment is a must in this type of construction.
4. It is best if the number of metal fasteners is kept to a minimum. With all this, it is worth stopping at galvanized. This is very important in order to protect the extension to the wooden house from corrosion.

The frame extension, the construction of which takes place quite quickly, can be erected by everyone.

The extension can be framed in general style facade of the house and will not stand out externally

An extension to a wooden house, if all standards are met, will last a long time, and it will not be difficult to build it.

A winter garden, a kitchen, a spacious library, a living room, etc. can be successfully located on the newly minted area of ​​the house. There are plenty of options! They depend on the wishes of the owner and his needs. If you have determined what exactly you are missing in the house, you should take care of the preparation of materials.

Usually, for the construction of an extension, materials are used that do not burden the building and have good thermal insulation characteristics. Basically, the owners choose sandwich panels and high-quality timber. When it comes to building winter garden, you need to understand that glass panels make the structure heavier and require a powerful foundation.

Extensions to the house and their types

Today, an extension to the house can be carried out in various options, but the most popular are:

• side with a combined roof;
• side with its own roof;
• attic;
• superstructure for the second floor and above.

The first option is the most budgetary, since the existing roof is only extended by the extension area. The main structure is being completed from either side, then a doorway is broken through, and thus the living area is increased.

The second option is suitable in a situation where it is not possible to make a common roof. The consumption of materials and the cost of labor increase.

The subtleties of creating an extension to the house

1. It is better to equip the heating in the annex by the type of "warm floors" or use electric heaters.
2. Roof - the ideal option is considered to be the same type with the main roof, but with a smaller slope. For a veranda and a winter garden it is worth making a glass roof.
3. A floor with a terrace can be made from the same material and at the same level to create the integrity of the image.
4. Slider doors are an option, cheaper than a hinged model. He attaches special charm room.

Interior decoration of the extension

The interior space of the extension depends on the layout of the room. In addition to functionality, it must be borne in mind that the style orientation should be the same everywhere. Most owners draw up a new area in the same invoice and color scheme as other rooms. However, experiments and unusual solutions are not ruled out.

• In the annex you can organize kitchen area with a dining room. Using finishing with light materials, you can expand the space. If it is not possible to provide sufficient solar lighting through windows, a glass ceiling should be built.
• In a glazed large veranda you can make a modern living room in country style. Hard to find more rational decision than facing structures with wood and stone. These materials are considered the most suitable for country houses.

External design of the extension - ideas

In private houses of the city most of outbuildings is located in the backyard, but there are also possibilities for organizing an additional room that is visible to everyone. They are attached at the main entrance, and therefore the extension to the house is the main one.

For its construction, you can use similar materials used for the house and its cladding. Thus, a harmonious exterior is created, and the building itself looks like a single ensemble.

An extension that is different in appearance from the house can be made of glass. In this case, glazed stylish veranda the whole day will be flooded with sunlight. Great solution will unusual shape a building designed as a garden or park.

Snow-white color wide extension, made in the French style, can play the role of a spacious living room, and its roof - an open spacious area with an original fence.

On a spacious cemented area it is possible to equip a place for a barbecue, as well as a dining area.

If the extension of one of the walls is next to a fence or a house, it should be deaf, and the remaining surfaces should be made of glass from the floor under the ceiling, either with a low stone or brick foundation. If you need to create an extension-veranda or living room, you can use glass frosted walls. Sliding door models will also be appropriate here.

If two walls of the extension are deaf, and glass windows cannot be made on the roof, then at least one of the walls must be made of glass. In this way, natural light can be provided.

Extension to the house in the style of a winter garden assumes the presence of glass to the roof. The most spectacular are Victorian extensions with light frames, sharp species vaults and gothic deglazing. They can serve as a dining room and an additional living room.

The summer terrace is usually built from a small amount of materials, because it is often arranged in a rustic style. For the winter, it can be covered with polycarbonate sheets.

Sometimes an extension may look like a separate building, but at the same time a corridor from the house stretches to it. They are often positioned as a greenhouse, summer guest house or kitchen.

We hope you find the ideas interesting!

The advantage of private real estate lies primarily in the fact that you can easily make an extension to a wooden house without problems and significant costs. For example, you can quickly and easily make an extension of 10-15 m², which serves as a veranda, kitchen or a place for receiving guests. An addition to the main house must be done in such a way that everything looks harmonious, and at the same time is comfortable and functional.

What to make an extension to a wooden house

Separately, it is worth paying attention to the materials from which the extension is made. If the house is wooden, then it is quite possible to supplement it with square meters of wood or even timber. So general concept buildings will not be disturbed, and everything will seem more beautiful and comfortable. The tree allows not only to simplify the work on the product, but also significantly save. A big plus of this material is that it is quite warm. However, to use the premises all year round, it is still worth making additional work for warming.

In some cases, craftsmen choose bricks to work with. This is a more expensive material, but it has its advantages. First of all, bricks always keep heat well, so minimal insulation work will be required. In addition, the maintenance of the extension will be simple, which distinguishes this material from wood.

However, when they attach to a wooden house additional room made of brick, it may not look too good. Therefore, you have to choose between practicality and appearance. Or, as an option, you can then use external Decoration Materials the same type throughout the house at once, including the attached room.

The extensions, which are made with their own hands from a bar, look very nice. This durable material which will last a long time if properly cared for. The appearance of the building itself is immediately transformed, and the house becomes like a fairy-tale hut. But the price quality material this type can be high.

by the most inexpensive option counts frame extension to a private house, made by hand. Such building methods Lately are very popular. Manufacturers offer for short time build entire houses in 2-3 floors. As for the extension, its construction in this case will be inexpensive. Frame buildings always demand quality insulation and waterproofing. But still, they significantly outperform all other options in terms of price, speed of work, and even appearance. The frame extension will look good next to the wooden one, and together with the brick house. This is a great option for budget owners.

Where to begin

Before you make an extension to a brick house or any other with your own hands, you must first coordinate this with government organizations. Initially, design documents are drawn up taking into account all the nuances, but work with government agencies does not end there, since at the end of construction the extension will need to be legally registered. All such issues are resolved in the administration of the settlement or in multifunctional centers.

Do not start work before all the nuances are agreed. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will have to clean up what has already been created, and this is troublesome and expensive.

Next, you need to purchase the material, according to the planned estimate. It can be wood, timber, brick or stone. It must be borne in mind that the type of materials must meet all the requirements of the building. If it is planned to be small, and it will not be loaded with a powerful roof, then you can take ordinary tree. For capital buildings, it is still worth using stone or brick.

Experts strongly recommend initial stage check all the nuances and consult with professional architects. This is especially true in cases where heavy materials are planned to be used. Of course, the extension is not the second floor. However, even it can significantly load the main building. Therefore, before starting work, it is necessary to carefully check the serviceability of all components, the quality of the foundation and consult with specialists.

If the construction of an extension seems like too much work, you can entrust it to professionals. In this case, you can save not only time, but money. If you opt for modern frame version, it will be both beautiful and cheap. And most importantly, such structures are very light, so they do not load the main building at all.

Those who decide to make an extension to their house with their own hands should take into account that incorrect actions will lead to the fact that the load on the building will be too large. If the house is old, a professional preliminary diagnosis is necessary. An insufficiently strong foundation can cause the building to be completely destroyed, therefore, by creating an extension, the master runs the risk of being completely homeless.

Extension building technology

As for how to make an extension to the house, the main thing is not to damage the main house and get additional square meters. To do this, it is necessary to carry out quality checks before starting construction. preparatory work. They must be multilateral, that is, you need to study every detail.

First of all, it is necessary to check the quality of the foundation, its depth and width. This will determine whether the base can withstand the additional load in the form of an extension.

In order to get a warm building, its walls must fit snugly against the main building. But this is permissible only if the structure is well preserved. In addition, you need to immediately think over the options for movement, namely doors and passages. It is quite possible that at the place where the extension to country house will connect to the main building, you will have to make an additional arch under the door. Here it is necessary to clarify whether the wall will withstand it. Sometimes it happens that the walls look quite normal. But one has only to start diagnosing, as numerous shortcomings are revealed.

Special requirements are always placed on the roof. It should be light enough and match the type of construction. There are 2 options for how to properly make a roof in an extension to the house. In the first case, it can be a continuation of the main roof, and the second - a separate roof. Both one and the second method have their pros and cons. If you make a solid roof, the whole structure will look beautiful and harmonious. But indoors there will be one minus, namely a sloping roof or the need to build a small attic and additional insulation. A straight roof does not look very nice on the outside, but it will be more beautiful on the inside. convenient option for further interior decoration.

Particular attention should be paid to extensions, which will be made of wood. This material is different in that it needs shrinkage. This process takes a certain amount of time, sometimes up to several years. Therefore, during the first years of use attached construction can settle and move away from the main wall. If it is initially fixed very tightly, then this can damage the main wall. That's why wooden frame the first time must be left. Only after it settles, you can proceed to the design and strengthening of the wooden extension.

As for the foundation for the extension, it of great importance does not have. If the main building is on a solid and high-quality basis, then for the construction of an extension, you can also use pile foundation.

It is believed that to make an extension to a wooden, brick or stone house- this is very simple task. In fact, it is much easier than building a second floor. However, if certain requirements are not observed during the construction of the extension, this can have a very bad effect not only on the quality and functionality of the new building, but also spoil the existing building. Therefore, you should be extremely careful and attentive.

Simple extension to a wooden house

The complexity of the work always depends on the type of project. Some try to make the annex create extra space, but also became the decoration of the building. But such options are quite complex both in execution and in choice. the right materials. If there is no desire to face difficulties, you can do simple extension do-it-yourself quickly and inexpensively.

The first step is to choose optimal location for future construction. At this stage, you need to evaluate your financial capabilities, choose suitable materials, determine the size of the building and resolve the issue with permits.

Next, you can proceed to the foundation. For a simple and light structure, there is no need to make a powerful foundation. Most often, masters refuse monolithic foundation and opt for belt type or columnar. For a small frame extension or veranda, this will be enough.
