How to make a carport to the house for the car

The dacha building called "shed" is an exterior construction of the house, made in the form of a roof of one form or another, equipped with a number of vertical supports. The purpose of this building object (relating, incidentally, to a class of small architectural forms) is to protect a limited recreation area from the effects of a number of climatic factors (sunlight, rain and snow, wind and dust). In this article we will tell how to make a carport to the house for a polycarbonate and corrugated car, give photos and video instructions.

Types of sheds

Decorative canopy

All known designs of sheds are divided into the following main types:

• Separately located or attached canopies adjacent to the external wall of the building and erected above a balcony, porch or entrance.
• Functional awnings, acting as protective or enclosing structures and distinguished by their ergonomics and simplicity.
• Decorative canopies, decorated in the form of an original artistic composition and used to decorate the general ensemble of suburban buildings and the surrounding landscape.

According to the slope shape, the canopies of known constructions are divided into straight, inclined (duo-pitch or single-slope) and suspended curtain-shaped structures (arched, arc-shaped, pyramidal, dome-shaped, etc.).

In addition, awnings can vary in the class of materials used for their manufacture (metal, stone, wood, mixed), in their functional purpose, as well as in size and location.

Tips

Canopy over the window

Before you begin the installation work, you must prepare a sketch sketch of the future shed and decide on its style, taking into account the design of the main buildings of the suburban area. When choosing materials for construction, we advise you to pay your attention to polycarbonate, whose flexibility and plasticity make it possible to construct canopies in the form of original volumetric structures.

At the same time, we should not forget that your canopy should be strong enough and could successfully withstand both wind and possible snow loads. This circumstance should be taken into account when choosing the angle of inclination of the roof structure of the shed and when calculating the cross section of its supporting supports.

As the steepness and the size of the slope increases, the wind loads on it will also increase, which must be taken into account at the initial stage of structural design. When calculating wind loads and elements of the whole structure as a whole, we recommend that you follow the provisions of SNiP 2. 01. 07-85.

Construction of a canopy made of polycarbonate

Electric drill for construction

In this article we will look at the currently widespread construction, which is a frame made of a selected material with a polycarbonate coating. To make it, you will need the following materials and tools:

• Circular saw with abrasive wheel (small teeth).
• Electric drill with a set of standard drills.
• Aluminum and perforated tape, as well as a finished profile for a slope for polycarbonate.
• Screwdriver, screws, thermal washers and other consumables.
• Detachable or one-piece polycarbonate profile.

After preparing the sketch, you need to decide on the material of the supporting supports, which can be selected from the following list:

• reinforced pipe;
• wooden beam;
• metal corner;
• brick bollards.

Procedure

Deciding how To make a canopy correctly, one should begin by marking the area for future construction and preparing the electrical wiring, laid in a protective sleeve in the area of ​​the canopy.

You can use any of the well-known building support structures from the following list as the base for the supporting elements (pillars):

• brick columns;
• filled metal pipes concrete;
• concrete monolithic supports, etc.

It is necessary to provide protective measures to extend the life of all elements of your design. Metal frames must have a layer of anti-corrosion coating, and the elements of wood - treated with a special antiseptic.

When constructing supporting structures for polycarbonate profiles, you can use the old frames that you have left, for example, from the dismantled greenhouse.

Next, the roofing lath is mounted, the power of which depends on the workload on it, determined by the total area of ​​the mounted cover.The roofing itself is mounted in compliance with well-known technological standards that correspond to the type of roof you have chosen.

Installation of polycarbonate

The final step in the construction of the visor will be the installation of polycarbonate on the fabricated frame. This work is also quite simple.

1. When installing polycarbonate between the sheets should be left gaps up to 5 mm. This is necessary for free movement of the expansion of the material when the temperature changes. As a result, you prevent the possible deformation of the finish.
2. For fasteners, ordinary self-tapping screws with thermal washers are used. You can also use special profiles that securely fix the material. The choice of screws completely depends on what the frame is made of - wood or metal. Consider the fact that polycarbonate should not be fixed tightly.
3. The ends of the material must be closed. For this, a special plastic profile is used. It will prevent dust from entering the sheet and the formation of condensate, due to which the polycarbonate would lose its appeal.
4. During the installation, do not rush to remove the protective film. It is better to remove it after finishing work.

Canopy-visor from corrugated

Now we suggest to get acquainted with the production of visor-canopy from profiled sheeting. To do this, prepare such a building material:

• Material for the manufacture of the frame. This may be a profile tube.
• Decking.
• Screws for metal.

Frame device

As for the tool, stock up on the following:

• screwdriver;
• nozzle for self-tapping screws;
• wrenches;
• welding machine if necessary.

If the frame is made on twisting, then the welding unit will not be useful. However, remember that the frame made by welding is much better. After a while, it will not loosen, which cannot be said for threaded connections.

Making the frame

When you buy a professional flooring, make sure that it has a special protective polymeric coating.

One of the simplest designs, which is mainly chosen by lovers of making homemade products - a lean-to canopy. The process of installation works as follows:

1. If the canopy will be large, then you will need to install several support pillars. For this, you can use a profile pipe 40 * 60 mm. The step between the supports should be 1000 mm.
2. The supports are concreted in pits 0.5 m deep. After that, you can start to make a canopy.
3. Mount the crossbars to the posts; for this, it is better to use welding.
4. In order for the canopy to have a small slope, the outermost pillars of the support must have a lower height.
5. After the construction of the frame, it must be primed and painted, and all welding seams should be cleaned with a grinder.
6. At the end, a professional flooring is installed.

Sheeting fixing

For fixing, use washers and rubber gaskets. So that the screws are evenly distributed over the canopy surface, first fix the sheet at the corners. After that, the screws are twisted along the entire length of the canopy.

If the length of the visor-canopy is relatively large and you need to install several sheets of sheeting, then this should be done with an overlap.
