Some inter­est­ing facts. The word “barn” in Per­sian means “palace”. You can’t tell, look­ing at the rick­ety booths in our sum­mer cot­tages. You can build a hozblok for stor­ing gar­den tools and oth­er nec­es­sary things with your own hands. We are sure that if you approach the mat­ter with all respon­si­bil­i­ty, then the build­ing will stand for more than a dozen years. The main thing is that every­thing can be done for your­self: dimen­sions, mate­ri­als, loca­tion of zones. Kom­so­mol­skaya Prav­da, togeth­er with an expert, tells how to build a barn with your own hands.

Step-by-step instructions for building a barn

We calculate the scale, choose a place

- First you need to deter­mine the size of the build­ing. Think about what you will have in it, whether you will put up a work­bench, what you will store — just gar­den sup­plies or equip­ment. Such mas­sive units as a gen­er­a­tor or a cul­ti­va­tor take up a lot of space, — admon­ish­es tech­ni­cal sup­port spe­cial­ist of the Tech­noN­IKOL trad­ing net­work Stanislav Gapeev.

Check if there is a necessary tool

It will be a shame if you are enthu­si­as­tic about doing every­thing with your own hands, but the work­shop will not have the right tool and the work will have to be post­poned. There­fore, before going to the store, check if you have all the tools in stock. If any­thing, you can buy more or ask a neigh­bor. You will def­i­nite­ly need:

• a ham­mer;
• saw or cir­cu­lar saw;
• screw­driv­er;
• lev­el;
• nails, anchors / dow­els;
• exten­sion;
• lad­der.

Going to buy building materials

Based on our instruc­tions, we have com­piled a shop­ping list. You can adjust it based on your per­son­al pref­er­ences. Where to buy mate­ri­als — decide for your­self. In the con­struc­tion hyper­mar­ket, you can take every­thing and imme­di­ate­ly arrange deliv­ery. In addi­tion, it will be a check and eas­i­er to return. The mar­ket is clear­ly rich­er in choice, a vari­ety of prices, but you have to run around the depart­ments.

So, to build a barn you will need:

• sol­id brick;
• mono­lith­ic rein­forced con­crete slab;
• wood­en beam 50x50 mm;
• wood­en beam 100x100 mm or 150x150 mm;
• bitu­mi­nous water­proof­ing;
• pro­tec­tive box or cor­ru­ga­tion for cable;
• floor board 40 mm;
• OSB board (OSB‑3) 9 mm;
• facade tiles or sid­ing;
• anti­sep­tic for wood;
• col­ored impreg­na­tion for wood;
• flex­i­ble tiles or self-adhe­sive roll mate­ri­als on the roof;
• wiring (sock­ets, cables, auto­mat­ic).

Getting to work

In a favor­able mood, you can begin to col­lect a barn. First, they deal with the foun­da­tion, then with the “skele­ton” (box), cov­er the floor, roof, and sheathe the walls. At the last stage, elec­tri­cal wiring is done.

We equip the barn

When every­thing is ready, you can start mak­ing a hozblok for your­self. Hang shelves, bring a work­bench, place tools and gar­den tools.

What work will need to be done when building a barn

Foundation construction

Like a house, a shed starts with a foun­da­tion. The sim­plest and most com­mon option is colum­nar. It is quite pos­si­ble to build it from the sol­id brick remain­ing on the site. To do this, it is nec­es­sary to dig pits — recess­es in the ground — no more than 50 cm deep, and lay brick pil­lars about 20 cm high above ground lev­el.

Since the build­ing is still used for eco­nom­ic pur­pos­es, the oper­a­tional load on the base can be quite high. Ide­al­ly, a small mono­lith­ic rein­forced con­crete slab should be placed on top. This is labo­ri­ous, but on the oth­er hand, their ser­vice life will be long, on such a basis it will be pos­si­ble to safe­ly put racks with tools and roll up gar­den equip­ment. The top lev­el of the slab will actu­al­ly be the floor mark, this is impor­tant because in the future, heavy tools and equip­ment may be brought into the room.

At the stage of mono­lith­ic work, mort­gages for the input of elec­tric­i­ty should be pro­vid­ed. Still, pulling the cable through the air is not the best idea, but lay­ing the cable in a pro­tec­tive box or cor­ru­ga­tion under­ground is opti­mal.

How to build a house

Many peo­ple think that build­ing a house with their own hands is bet­ter and cheap­er than buy­ing a ready-made one.

We collect the frame of the barn

The best option for the “skele­ton” is a wood­en beam 100x100 mm or 150x150 mm. Tim­ber is a nat­ur­al reli­able mate­r­i­al with suf­fi­cient strength. For its pro­cess­ing and assem­bly does not require spe­cial skills and equip­ment. All you need is a saw and a ham­mer.

1. The beam is laid on the foun­da­tion base through a lay­er of water­proof­ing bitu­men or bitu­men-poly­mer mate­r­i­al. Between them­selves, the tim­ber is fas­tened into half a tree with the help of anchors and nails. “Half a tree” means that you need to cross-cut half the thick­ness of the tim­ber. At points near the cor­ner joints, a hole is drilled for installing a dow­el or oth­er fas­ten­ers.
2. Instal­la­tion of ver­ti­cal racks is car­ried out from the same beam 100x100 mm. After lev­el­ing, they are tem­porar­i­ly fixed with aux­il­iary jibs, which are removed after the upper trim.
3. The upper trim almost mir­rors the low­er one around the perime­ter and is assem­bled from the same beam 100x100 mm.

We process the base and lay the floor

- For the treat­ment of rein­forced con­crete bases, it is rec­om­mend­ed to use poly­mer­ic floor cov­er­ings. These are ready-made resin-based com­pounds that form a smooth and durable sur­face. They are thin-lay­ered enough wear-resis­tant and in retail there are ready-made kits for self-appli­ca­tion for small areas. In gen­er­al, you can not process it, but such a floor will be dusty, how­ev­er, in a room for this pur­pose, this can be neglect­ed, says Stanislav Gapeev.

If you did not begin to lay a mono­lith­ic slab at the base, then the floor of the shed can be cov­ered with a 40 mm board along the logs. But if the load is high, then the tree will wear out quick­ly enough.

Assembling the roof

Ancil­lary build­ings, as a rule, are made low and as incon­spic­u­ous as pos­si­ble, so they are more often per­formed sin­gle-sided with a slight slope. Ver­ti­cal racks are placed under the shed roof from the side of the front door. They should be high­er than the rear. Thus, a slope is formed at the desired angle.

Roof truss­es are eas­i­er to assem­ble on the ground, and then lift and install ready-made. As a coat­ing, flex­i­ble tiles or self-adhe­sive roll mate­ri­als can be used.

In both cas­es, a beam of 50x50 mm is ham­mered under them in incre­ments of 500 mm and a nine-mil­lime­ter OSB plate is laid. Next, the roof­ing is laid.

Frame filling

It is made of OSB boards and sheathed with mate­r­i­al sim­i­lar to the main house. It can be, for exam­ple, facade tiles or sid­ing.

- If the facades of your house are lined with bricks, then for the house­hold block, the most suit­able option would be facade tiles imi­tat­ing stone. A vari­ety of col­ors and shapes of tiles will allow you to choose the most suit­able col­lec­tion. If your house is already sheathed with such facade tiles, it is enough to choose a sim­i­lar one, says the KP expert.

Wood processing

All hid­den wood­en ele­ments must be treat­ed with anti­sep­tics before instal­la­tion. And the vis­i­ble parts are col­ored impreg­na­tions. Mod­ern impreg­na­tions, in addi­tion to pro­tec­tion, high­light the tex­ture, empha­size the pat­tern of the tree. Con­sump­tion of anti­sep­tics — from 120 ml / m2 per lay­er. It is rec­om­mend­ed to apply at least two lay­ers. Com­plete dry­ing — up to 48 hours.

Carry out the electrical wiring under the light

If you intend to not only build a barn, but also elec­tri­fy it, then it’s time to start wiring. Make sock­ets inside the util­i­ty room. Think you might need out­lets out­side to con­nect your gar­den equip­ment. For safe­ty, wiring is done through cir­cuit break­ers.

Expert advice

Your house requires atten­tion and reg­u­lar main­te­nance, so near­by, usu­al­ly some­where from the side of the yard, an out­build­ing is built with­out fail, which serves to store tools or equip­ment, and can also be used as a work­shop.

- When you are plan­ning to build a barn, in addi­tion to the area, it is worth con­sid­er­ing the gen­er­al ensem­ble with the main house. The build­ing should echo it in col­or and tex­ture of exte­ri­or fin­ish­ing mate­ri­als. The roof is usu­al­ly made lean-to with a slight angle, so that the out­build­ing does not stand out in the gen­er­al ensem­ble of build­ings with its height, but, on the con­trary, is masked. For cladding walls and roofs, a sim­i­lar coat­ing is often cho­sen as on the main build­ings — a house, a bath­house, — the expert explains.
