The Foundation for the future of the house ↑
The main advantages of the cabins as a country house, is the ease of most buildings. This condition implies that there is no need for special Foundation. To build a shed from timber is not difficult, if you create the Foundation of the columns.
In some cases, immediately mounted, and a small porch. It is created for ease of entry to the premises. If necessary to construct a global approach to the house, it creates a small but noticeable terrace. In this case the Foundation under it is mounted in a separate order.
The construction of the walls ↑
The shed involves the creation of walls of lightweight material. In most cases, it will be used only in the summer, and therefore the walls will be created quickly, without hassle and emphasis on insulation. To build the shed on the drawings will not be difficult if to prepare in advance the needed material. The walls, in most cases, subjected to only a small finishing inside and outside. A detailed description of the installation can be seen on video.
If the owner of the building desires to the full house, the walls should. Here is a special crate. It is recommended to apply a slim profile, although sometimes it is sufficient to use a small beam. Mount these objects involves the use of special plates that have the holes for the screws. The width between the two walls should imply further installation inside of their Windows.
To build a 6×3 shed with their hands and use high-quality thermal insulation of the erected walls. In this case, the crate needs to consider also the width of the insulation material. The expected time in the spring or fall, the construction will require use of mineral wool. The thickness of one Mat must be at least 10 centimeters. If the house will be used in the winter season, it is necessary to mount at least two layers of this material. If the installation process will be performed correctly, the resulting construction can be used for temporary residence.
Finish exterior walls ↑
When the construction of the cabins timber is finished, there is a perfectly reasonable question about how to begin to decorate it. The first thing to pay attention is needed on the exterior wall of the house. Guests can avail themselves of various proposals. As the shed is either a temporary solution dwelling or building under the inventory, the majority of vacationers selects the cladding material in the form of siding. The first focus is on the relative ease of installation and cheapness of the material.
Sometimes the best option is to use a special siding that resembles a log. Often used and ground material. As in DIY stores you can find several option build, to choose the optimum will not be difficult. In some cases, the shed not only looks beautiful but has its own style.
Heating in the building ↑
Manual for the construction of cabins does not tells about how to create the heating. Unfortunately, the modern building of the house of huts does not imply that a large number of options for the heating system. Often in this structure decided to install the stove called «stove». Although many people this device is associated with a very awkward construction, is actually the effect of it a lot.
At the very least you can purchase a heater that works from the mains. If you install about 2 convector 1 000 watts of power, they are able to provide the necessary heat for the room.
Expansion of existing buildings ↑
To build the shed on the plot, as the instruction is quite simple. But sometimes there is a need to expand the existing premises. In this case, it is sufficient to construct an addition on the same foundations and of the same material. In some cases it is permissible to combine two similar structures, and sometimes more, together. The only condition is the installation of additional interior doors.
How to mount the frame and wall ↑
To shed gave people the ability to feel full inside, we will discuss the detailed description of the construction of the frame and the construction of walls.
After the floor will be covered with joists, you must consider the installation of vertical and shear lag. The main frame is erected, as a rule, assembled from timber with a size in millimeters 150х100. It is used for flooring, as well as creating angles.
Their hands to build the shed at the cottage with quality parameters is only possible after laying, and most importantly the right of fixing the lag. On each of them, in the end, is a small piece of text. In this way the bars are inserted literally into each other. For a greater probability of their fixation they are secured with screws. In this simple way, an effective frame of the building.
It should be provided before further action, the layout of door and window openings. To make this procedure quite simple with the help of previously prepared drawing. In places where you want to create a window or door, the building will have additional strengthening of the frame.

Installation is carried out according to the same technology as in the construction of the walls – a sign and fixing screws. You should ensure that the rafters are slightly hanging outside of the building, but not more than 30 inches. Roofing material can be chosen according to personal preferences.
Types of cabins ↑
In the last part I want to tell you about what are the cabins. Today it is popular to build four types of buildings, namely:
- Panel;
- Frame;
