Garages with a canopy: an overview of modern projects, options with hozblok

Almost all car owners are faced with the choice of what to install on the site: a garage or carport. A carport with a shed is an optimal choice for both storing and servicing the vehicle. Before you start building, you need to carefully consider what the structure will be, where it will be located and what materials will be needed for its construction.

The garage canopy is distinguished by its ease of use, attractive appearance, practicality, as well as fast installation speed and affordable cost.

Owners of various vehicles highlight a number of advantages of such structures:

• construction work does not require large expenditures - practically anyone will financially master this option;
• the canopy has a compact size, besides it can be installed right next to a residential house;
• good ventilation is provided under the shed so that no rust will form on the surface of the car;
• canopy can be built from a variety of building materials;
• installation takes a minimum of time;
• when the car is not standing under a canopy, this space can be used for a comfortable rest.

Often, a garage with a canopy erected from a timber or round log. When choosing in favor of wooden materials, be sure to remember about reliable protection of wood against the negative effects of moisture, decay and reproduction of harmful insects. The construction tree must be treated with special antiseptics and fire protection agents.

Metal pipes can also be used as supports.which have a high level of reliability and durability. Corrosion is often formed on their surface, which can be a serious problem. To prevent this, you need to clean the material, process it with a solvent, coat it with a primer and paint it.From whatever material the supports for the shelter are made, for safety, the construction site must be concreted and tiles must be installed on it. The larger the mass of the building, the deeper the foundation becomes.

The roof of the shed is made of polycarbonate, profiled sheet, wooden boards, roofing material or tiles. For temporary protection of the vehicle can be applied awning, mounted on a metal frame. The latter can be both stationary and collapsible; the second option allows, if necessary, even to transport such a shed.

When the material is selected, it is necessary to determine the location of the structure. So that the car does not go through the whole section, it is appropriate to install a garage with a shed at the entrance to the courtyard, right behind the gate or on the side of it, with access to the fence section.

Such a structure may be:

• autonomous canopy;
• a building connecting the gate and the house;
• extension to a residential house, garage or hozbloku.

Of course, it is convenient when the canopy is located near the house, because in bad weather you do not need to get to the garage through huge snow drifts or go through puddles. Well, when the garage is a short distance from the exit from the yard. It is desirable that the road was without inclination and turns. It is not necessary to build a garage with a canopy of cinder blocks in the valley, otherwise it will heat the atmospheric and ground water.

Before starting installation of a garage with a canopy in front of the house or in the yard, make sure that there is no water supply system, power lines, sewage structures and heating pipes in the selected area. If any of the above fails, the presence of a garage will interfere with the repair - it will be much more difficult and longer to complete the task. Therefore, this layout is not very practical.

For self-construction of the garage, you can choose a standard project or draw a drawing yourself.

The erection of the structural frame is nothing complicated, but the roof has several types, each of which has its own characteristics:

• sloping - the simplest type of roof, can be used in different regions, but in this case it is important to establish the optimal slope of the slope (usually - within 15-30 degrees);
• gable - used for the construction of large areas, more difficult to manufacture and install, but has improved characteristics;
• Arched - appropriate for various metal structures, the optimal height from the lower to the upper point is 600 mm.

The size of the canopy depends on the vehicle model and, of course, on the number of cars. A garage for two cars can replace a similar structure for one large-sized car. When designing a structure, it is necessary to take into account not only the dimensions of the machine, but also the availability of free space. It is recommended to add 1000 mm to each side to the width of the car, and 700 mm to the front and rear to the length.

Note that the parameters of the garage must be determined before the design of the structure.

Making calculations, it is necessary to pay attention to the following nuances:

• it should be spacious inside the structure, since a large room will allow to call assistants when repairing a vehicle, but the lack of space will negatively affect the quality of work;
• choose the optimal size of the walls and foundation, because a room with too large an area is difficult to heat, and in a cold one you will be uncomfortable;
• the wall thickness should be proportional to the heat insulation, therefore, it is not recommended to save on the wall thickness in order to conserve heat indoors
• pre-think about the storage locations of various inventory and tools.

The frame of the canopy includes supports, purlins and crate. The parameters of the metal structures are affected by the general parameters of the truss. These values ​​are specified in GOST.

The supports are made from a round steel pipe with a diameter of 4 to 10 cm. They are also made from a profiled steel pipe 0.8 x 0.8 cm. When calculating the installation step of the supports, keep in mind that the distance between them should not exceed 1.7 m. Failure to follow this recommendation will adversely affect the strength and stability of the garage.

The crate is made of a profiled steel pipe with parameters 0.4 x 0.4 m. The installation step of the batten depends on the materials used for production. The longitudinal wooden grille is mounted in 25-30 cm increments, and the metal grille - in 70-80 cm increments.

The calculation of the required amount of all materials is performed using special formulas that experts can use.

If you decide to do all the work on the construction of a carport with a canopy on your own, to facilitate the task, choose a project with a rectilinear configuration, without curved shapes.

Experts recommend doing the work in the following order:

• the plot is marked with an indication of the location of the racks for the overhang;
• pits are made for the foundation with a depth of more than 0.6 m and with a diameter of approximately half a meter;
• the supports are fixed and fixed with broken bricks or stones;
• the base of the supports is poured with concrete, which will harden after 24 hours, but in order for the result to be of high quality, the experts recommend starting the next stage only after 3 days;
• the supports are connected by horizontal bridges along the entire perimeter;
• on the lintels installed roof frame;
• the roof is installed on the canopy frame.

The design of the garage with a canopy is not just a frame with four supports. Increasingly, on sites, one can come across original combinations of double-column supports and walls made of brick or rubble, which look attractive and have excellent characteristics.

If the garage is attached to the house, you can “pull out” part of the roof of the garage and make it in the form of a canopy over the area in front of the entrance, where you can put two vehicles.

Choosing low-cost constructions, you should pay attention to the canopy over the entrance gate, which will protect the car from the negative effects of precipitation. It is also worth highlighting the original solutions for creating garage structures. It looks quite original creation of a common structure, at the same time closing the house, the garage and the area between them. This option is not only attractive, but also practical, as the roof protects the house and the entire plot from the environment.

With a carport, you can also transform the garage into roomy shelving and cabinets, and the free space will be used as a covered parking space. But this option is appropriate for regions with moderate climatic conditions.

Joint hinged roof with a garage - a great option for the suburban area. In this situation, the walls can be made of aerated concrete, and the roof can be sewn up with a rabbeted board with thermal insulation, and loops for the garage with a ball are also used.Using a shed roof is inappropriate here, but a gable protects against precipitation, it is recommended to install it on remote racks. The result is a covered area for storing the vehicle and a room that can safely act as a utility block to save various tools.

Error-free and high-quality design and use of garages with a canopy allows you to reliably protect the car from the effects of sunlight and precipitation, as well as make a spacious and ventilated room in the yard. In addition to standard and frequently used roofs, there are a huge number of roofs that fold and retract, closing the plot as needed. Such designs are almost impossible to do on their own, so that in this case one cannot do without the help of professionals.

Considering the various projects of garages with a shed, everyone chooses the design that will meet his requirements and wishes, as well as the climatic conditions in the region. The construction with a shed in any case will significantly save financial resources, in contrast to the capital garage construction.
