Construction of a canopy from a metal profile. How to make a canopy from a profile pipe with your own hands

Hello. We welcome you to our website.

We have been engaged in metalworking and manufacturing of various metal structures for more than 8 years.

During this time, we have accumulated vast experience in dealing with various metals and structures.

We have a modern fleet of metalworking equipment that allows us to solve the most complex technical tasks for the manufacture of metal structures.

In this article, we will talk about metal canopies - how to calculate and install them.

So: You decided to build a carport on your site - let's see how easy and fast it can be organized:

1) First, we determine the location, boundaries and dimensions of the future canopy (length, width and height)

2) We choose the type and appearance of the canopy (for example, an arched canopy, a single-pitch or two-slope canopy, a cantilever type canopy)

roof truss options

3) We make a decision - either build a canopy on our own - or Order the complete manufacture of a canopy at the company.

Of course, the easiest way is to trust the experts, and get a ready-made canopy with a guarantee and turnkey installation - this is the most convenient option that deprives you of many problems with the upcoming construction of a canopy.

In addition to one and the most important - of course, everything depends on the final cost of construction, but as you understand - these services are not cheap ...

Let's count on an example (in monetary terms) the most popular model of an arched canopy designed for 2 parking spaces - Let's take a Canopy 5.5 by 6.3 meters.

Calculation of the Arched Canopy 5.5 by 6.3 meters

The total area covered by our canopy is calculated on the roof: 5.5x6.3= 34.7m2

Prices on the canopy market (2018) range from 2500 rubles per m2 to an average of 3500 rubles m2 - For the manufacture of a carport with turnkey installation.

It turns out that our canopy (let's round its area to 35m2) comes out:

in the cheapest version 2500 per square - 87500rub(prices from manufacturers are lower than 2500 rubles - they should alert you significantly - because you can’t build a high-quality welded canopy for that kind of money, and a manufacturer offering a low price will obviously be on everything that can be saved)

in the most expensive - 122000 rubles

The average cost of a canopy 5.5x6m at the rate of 3000 rubles m2 will be equal to 105000rub

So let's figure out what the design of our future canopy for 105,000 rubles should be like?

What will it consist of, how will it be attached, how will it be painted and what will it eventually be covered with?

So above are two drawings with drawings of an arched canopy offered by different manufacturers of canopies.

Let's see what is the difference between them? and what should be the CORRECT Canopy 5x6 meters in the end

So:

We pay attention to the pillars - there should be at least 6 pieces - it is desirable that it be a professional pipe of at least 80x80 wall thickness 2 - 3mm
Check with the manufacturer how the poles will be attached? If they drill, how much, do they concrete the pillars or not? If the pillars are planned to be concreted, then drill at least 1.2m. There is a technology of sanding the column with sand - they drill 80 cm on it - they put a column and gradually sprinkle it with sand, followed by pouring and thrombing the column. Where soil drilling is not desirable - there is a technology for installing a pole on a metal corner - it is driven into the ground with a sledgehammer by 80 cm - 2 pcs for each pole. If the canopy is placed on an already prepared concrete base, then what will be the thrust bearings under the pipe and what anchors?
Pillar connection. Lags Or Farms? In both pictures above, the manufacturers are connecting the canopy poles with trusses. on the first truss arch - on the second straight truss. But usually Laga is placed on top of the pillars from exactly the same profile as the pillars themselves. The roof of the canopy will later fall on these Logs or trusses.
The most significant part in the construction of a canopy is what its roof will be made of. If you can save on poles (in principle, even 60x60 poles will hold this canopy), then you should not save on farms. Since all the main load will fall on them, and in the case of a particularly snowy winter and improperly designed canopy trusses, the entire structure under a large mass of snow can simply collapse. Calculation of the Farm - for a span of 5.5 meters, a professional pipe is not less than 25x25x2 - the number of trusses (after 1.5 meters - 5 pieces)
Lathing: Training use a professional pipe 40x20 with a step of 50 cm - for our canopy there should be at least 12 pieces of lathing.
Polycarbonate. Here, a lot depends on the manufacturer of the plastic. because polycarbonate, in addition to its own thickness, has such an indicator as density. It happens that plastic 10mm thick from a bad manufacturer weighs about the same as 6mm from a good one. If the polycarbonate is of high quality and the crate pitch is at least 50 cm, then 6 mm plastic will serve you for a very long time.

Painting Pay attention to the quality of the enamel that covers your canopy. Good paints for metal are Hamerite, Novax, Dali (Unless of course you are offered powder coating for this money 🙂

Here, in principle, 7 points, following which you can control the quality of the product offered by the manufacturer. In this case, we are talking about an arched canopy.

——————————————————————————————————————- ————

Do-it-yourself metal canopy 6 x 5.5

And now, as we planned - let's calculate that in the end we will succeed if we undertake to make such an arched canopy ourselves - so to speak with our own hands (but perhaps with someone's little help :)

So we consider:

And we'll start with the pillars. We will need 6 pillars 80x80x2 three meters each (based on the fact that 80cm goes into the ground) + two logs to the top of 6 meters we get 18 +12 = 30 meters of a profile pipe 80x80

Metal - everything becomes more expensive and more expensive, but at the moment we take this professional pipe at 270 rubles per meter

racks (pillars) and logs 80x80 =8100rub

————————————————————————

Second: metal trusses for canopy roof. There are two options - either to buy ready-made arches for a canopy (this will certainly come out a little more expensive, but we save time and work) Or to make arched trusses with our own hands - but for this at least we need a profile bender - to bend the arcs for canopy trusses.

Let's consider both options:

First, buy already.prefabricated arch trussesmade of professional pipes 30x30x2 (in the amount of 5 pieces - although the trusses are designed with a large margin of safety and 4 pieces would be enough, but as they say, it’s better to be careful :)

The price of 1 farm 5.5 meters -3300 rubles x 5 pieces =16500rub

Arched truss for canopy 5.5 meters

———————————————————————————

Now let's calculate how much it will costcook the farm yourself?

For each farm, we will need two profile pipes 30x30 -12 meters plus 3 meters of professional pipes 25x25 (cuts inside the farm)

We get 12m for 88 rubles and 3m for 65 rubles

Total : 1251 rubles The cost of one farm in the material. Multiply by 5

6255rub The cost of metal for the arches of our canopy, taking into account their self-production (although, according to the mind, you also need to lay in such consumables as electrodes, welding wire, cutting discs, electricity, painting, and, well, the work of making trusses itself)

Third - Shed for a canopy

Again, the most popular two options are a professional pipe 30x20x1.5 or a professional pipe 40x20.1.5

Let's consider again two options:

30x20- 78 x 75= 5850rub

40x20-78x85= 6630rub

So the metal frame of the Canopy is ready - and all that remains is to paint it well and cover it with plastic .

Canopy metal paint

So that the metal does not rust - and the canopy serves for a long time, we usually use high-quality metal enamels such paint brands as NOVAX, Hamerite, Dali

On average, a canopy will need about 3 liters of paint

Hamerite on a canopy will cost about-2500rub

Novax and Dali paints - approximately 1500 rub

Polycarbonate for Canopy

Since plastic (polycarbonate) is produced by manufacturers of 12 meters or 6 meters in length, then based on these considerations, so that there is no overspending on plastic, we considered our canopy.

For the roof of the canopy, we need 3 polycarbonate sheets of 6 m each plus two docking profiles - you can, of course, buy end strips - to close the ends of polycarbonate - but practice shows that it is better not to install them - very often water and dirt accumulate because of them.

We don't want to overpay, do we?

In general - If you really save money, then you can cover it with 4 mm plastic (personally, I have a 7-meter canopy covered with a four - and I have been feeling great for 4 years already 🙂

But still, let's count again two options - polycarbonate 6mm and 8mm

Polycarbonate 6mm Cost 3750 rubles per 6 meter sheet

We take docking profiles that are one-piece, as they are much cheaper and easier to install (it is better to take plastic under 8mm - it will be much easier to put on a dock when installing plastic) -250 rubles pcs

Total: 11750 rubles

Polycarbonate 8mm Cost 4350 rubles per sheet 6 meters

We take joints on 10mm plastic - 300r pcs

TOTAL: 13650 rubles

Well, it seems that all such trifles as self-tapping screws, delivery electrodes, you can’t exactly count, let’s take about3000rub

From all of the above, we get two costs for self-manufacturing of a carport 5.5 by 6 meters

1 price - economy option - We make canopy trusses on our own.

8100+6255+5850+1500+11750+3000= 36455 rubles The cost of materials for a 5x6 canopy for self-manufacturing farms.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2 The second price - we buy farms, we take a crate 40x20 and polycarbonate 8mm

8100+16500+6630+2500+13650+3000= 50380 rubles We bought ready-made trusses for a canopy, took a wider professional pipe for the crate and a thicker polycarbonate sheet.

So what do we end up with?

And how much can you save - with an independent approach to the construction of a carport?

We have the cost of manufacturers - from 87500rub before 122000rub for carport 35m2

And the amounts for the materials that will be needed for the self-construction of a metal canopy:

36455rub and 50380rub

Here is our approximate benefit in monetary terms - if we build a canopy on our own, and do not order from a company:

Economy: 87500- 36455= 51045rub

Premium (expensive) 122000- 50380= 71620rub

Here, of course, work is not laid down - for the installation of a canopy, but on my own I will say the following - A good team of welders (2 people), in the presence of already manufactured farms of all prepared and painted materials, assembles such a canopy - in 1 shift (8 working hours). Inexperienced welders - the biggest one is digging with it for 2 days.

Our teams of welders charge about 12,000 rubles per shift for assembling a canopy

But to assemble a canopy, provided that all the materials are available, even for one smart welder who knows how to use a tape measure and a level is not a particularly tricky thing - and on average a working day of a simple master welder in Moscow and the region costs from 2500 rubles to 5000 rubles + he will need 1 helper 2000 rubles a day.

So it turns out that if you take this matter with the construction of a carport into your own hands, and do not order it from manufacturers, then you can save on average from 40000rub before 60000rub

and this is only the amount for a small by construction standards, so to speak, even a shed - only 35 sq.

And imagine a canopy, for example, a large canopy of 10x10 meters? And this is at least three times more. 🙂

A canopy is a simple design, which, nevertheless, is very important for any suburban area, cottage, etc., since it allows you to protect a playground, summer terrace, car parking, etc. from rain. One of the most popular is a hinged structure, made of metal profile, since this material is inexpensive, durable and practical. Today we will talk about how to make a simple (single-sided) canopy from a metal profile with your own hands (drawings, photos and video instructions are attached).

A canopy from a metal profile is used mainly in cases where the most reliable protection of any area from precipitation is required. The metal profile is very popular due to a number of undoubted advantages:

Environmental friendliness. The metal profile fully complies with all regulatory documents and requirements for roofing materials.
Fire resistance. The material undoubtedly wins against the background of plastic and tiles, having a fairly high level of fire resistance: even near an open source of fire, the material will not ignite.
Thermal stability. The metal profile tolerates sub-zero temperatures quite normally (not the slightest freezing was noticed at a consistently low sub-zero temperature). In addition, the material responds well to sudden temperature changes (no chips or cracks are noted during temperature fluctuations).
The high quality of the material allows you not to worry about the repair of the roof for 5-10 years. The metal profile is strong enough, but it is very easy to install.

Roofing materials

Aesthetic appearance. A rich color palette and a variety of shapes of profile sheets allow us to talk about the possibility of choosing a unique product, based on the features of the exterior, etc.
Affordable price. The material is affordable for most segments of the population, so it is beneficial to use it for small home sheds.

During the construction of canopies, special attention is paid to the choice of a certain form of construction, since its practicality and convenience will largely depend on this. So, shed canopies can be considered the simplest form, presented in the form of an inclined plane located at a certain angle.

This design has its own distinctive features, among which one can note the natural drainage system and ensuring maximum protection of the territory.

Advice. The sloping surface does not allow precipitation to accumulate in large quantities, so shed canopies are especially relevant for use in regions with high rainfall.

Do-it-yourself construction

The manufacture of a canopy from a metal profile is a rather laborious process, therefore it requires careful study of the details and well-executed calculations. About all this further.

Carrying out calculations and preparing materials

So, if you decide to make a shed canopy with your own hands, first of all, pay special attention to several issues:

Shed canopy - drawing

Tilt angle. This indicator should be calculated in such a way that there is no excessive steepness, otherwise it is likely that moisture will get under the canopy, and in large quantities.
drainage system. The drainage system must be carefully planned in order to avoid the appearance of a powerful water flow that can wash away the soil under the structure.
Slope direction. When choosing a suitable place for mounting a hinged structure, you should carefully study the statistical information regarding the direction of air masses.
Additional reinforcement. This parameter must be taken into account without fail in those regions where frequent strong gusts of wind are observed.

Advice. If we are talking about building a canopy with our own hands, it is best to give preference to a shed design, since all the rest are quite difficult to manufacture and install, so only those who have professional skills can do it.

Using a tape measure, measure all the main parameters of the site for the installation of the future structure. Given the figures obtained, calculate the amount of materials that will be required to create a canopy.

Assembly and installation of the structure

First of all, you should carefully clean the area under the canopy from various debris, branches, foliage, etc. Then level it. Now you can proceed directly to the preparatory work. Let's start with the foundation (in this case, the supports). Make markings for the supports, keeping a distance of about 1 m between them.

Shed canopy made of metal profile

In places where markings were left, make recesses for the supports and carefully compact the soil at the bottom of each hole. After that, fill each hole with a partially drainage layer consisting of a mixture of sand and gravel. Place the supports in the prepared recesses, carefully level them and fill with concrete.

After the concrete dries, it is possible to weld longitudinal beams and girders to the supports, which will be used as supports for metal profile sheets. A welding machine is best suited for this work, but if one is not available, you can replace it with self-tapping screws and a screwdriver (however, it is difficult to call such a design reliable).

The last stage is the laying of metal profile sheets. You should start from the lowest level. Lay the sheet and fix it on the beams with special screws. The next sheet should be laid in the same way, but slightly overlapping the previous one. We move in vertical rows.

Here, in principle, are all the subtleties that should be considered when creating a shed canopy from a metal profile. Good luck!

How to build a canopy with your own hands: video

In a country house, you can not do without various sheds, which are ideal for recreation, household needs or car parking. When using a metal profile that has high strength and durability, the structure will last for decades. But before using corrugated board for a canopy, you need to familiarize yourself with its characteristics.

The use of a metal profile

The metal profile is well suited for the construction of sheds for both household and recreational purposes. Recreational are used as protection from the sun and wind over swimming pools, playgrounds.

An economic canopy is being built in the place where the summer kitchen is arranged, where household equipment is stored, or in the place where the car is parked. The design of the canopy can be freestanding or be a continuation of the house. In the first case, the canopy is erected on separate supports, and in the second case, it rests on the wall of the house with one or two sides.

Shed canopy

The easiest to install is a shed canopy. During its construction, one row of supports is lower than the second, which is why the metal profile sheet is mounted at an angle. Due to this design of the roof, the snow freely descends.

There are other types of metal profile structures: gable, arched. In the first case, it will be more difficult to complete the frame and select more sheets of metal profiles for roofing. A gable canopy is often used to protect a large area from wind and rain. It is more resistant to adverse weather conditions.

To perform an arched canopy, you will need to use the services of professionals. It is quite difficult to make an arched structure yourself. Therefore, shed canopies are often installed.

Decking as a roofing material is often chosen due to its advantages:

Environmental friendliness.
durability.
UV resistant.
Resistance to low temperatures.
durability.
Strength.
Acceptable cost.
Ease of care.
Fire safety.

In addition to all the advantages, corrugated board can be easily mounted with your own hands. You can build a structure without outside help, but on condition that the canopy is small. A canopy from a metal profile can transform the exterior of a house if the work on its installation is carried out with skill.

Most manufacturers offer a ready-made canopy assembly kit. It is enough to understand the finished drawings and assemble the frame according to them. But this option will cost more than assembling a frame from separate profile pipes. In the case of the latter option, you will have to spend time on the selection, trimming of the supports.

canopy drawing

In order to make a canopy from a metal profile with your own hands, you should complete the drawing. It is compiled on the basis of such dimensions of the structure: width, length, height. You need to decide which side is higher and which is lower. If the structure rests on the wall of the building, then the leaning side will be higher. And from it, metal profile sheets will be attached at an angle to the racks.

Number of racks.
Number of logs
Farm structure.
The number of sheets of corrugated board.

To do this, it is necessary to draw a future design on a piece of paper, based on which it will be easier to calculate the amount of materials.

Design

The metal profile canopy has the following design:

Metal support poles are installed.
The pillars of each row are tied with rectangular shaped pipes (beams).
To give strength to the structure, braces are installed between the piping and the pole - rectangular shaped pipes.
A triangular truss structure is installed on the pillars.
Logs are mounted across the trusses, which are in the form of rectangular pipes.
Metal profile sheets are mounted on the logs.

All elements are interconnected with bolts.

Necessary tools and materials

From the materials for work you will need:

Decking (brands such as HC35 or HC44 are used).
Steel round pipes (for supports).
Rectangular profile pipes (for the frame).
Concrete.
Sand.
Fasteners (self-tapping screws and bolts).
Primer.
Dye.

To perform the work, you will need to purchase the following tools:

Roulette.
Pencil.
Building level.
Drill.
Screwdriver.
Hammer.
Bulgarian.
Spanners.
Brush.

It is better to purchase high-quality materials, due to which reliable fastenings will be provided. This affects not only the strength of the product, but also the appearance of the canopy. After that, you can proceed to the installation of the canopy.

Do-it-yourself canopy to the house from a metal profile. Step-by-step instruction

When all the materials for work are ready, you can proceed with the installation of the canopy. The assembly technology consists of several stages:

Preparations.
Frame assemblies.
Roof coverings.
Structural strength testing.

Before you start installation, you should perform preparatory work.

Preparatory work

At the initial stage, a place for construction should be prepared. To do this, the area is cleared of debris and vegetation. The site must be leveled and the soil compacted. Then markup is performed: using a tape measure, marks are made for the location of the pillars. Places should be marked with pegs, between which to pull the rope. Then pits are dug 1 m deep (for a large structure 1.5 m).

To determine the depth of the pits, one must be guided not only by the weight of the structure, but also by the depth of soil freezing.

The next stage of preparation is cutting pipes. If round pipes are used as supports, then the diameter must be at least 80 mm. The optimal length is 3000 mm. It is also necessary to prepare pieces of pipes with a diameter of 83 mm.

Cut parts of pipes 83 mm are laid in prepared holes. Pipes 80 mm are inserted into them. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the support should not be visible from the cut short pipe. Then the support with the cut pipe must be bolted. The finished structure must be inserted into the pit, covered with sand and poured with concrete. Leave for 1 week for the mixture to dry.

Frame installation

When the concrete mixture has dried, you can begin to assemble the frame. To do this, each row of pillars is tied with profile pipes. Such beams are fixed with a bolted connection. The evenness of the installation must be constantly checked by the building level. If the pillars are of different sizes, then they should be filed, and then continue to work.

Then you should increase the strength of the structure. To do this, jibs are installed - metal profiles that connect the support pillars and beams.

They need to be mounted at an angle of 45 0.

Then the stage of installation of the supporting truss structure begins. It is mounted on beams. This design will strengthen the canopy, due to which it will withstand a large load.

The farm is a triangle, in the center of which profiles are installed in a zigzag direction. To properly make a farm, it is necessary to carry it out according to the drawings. Farms are installed every meter.

Logs (rectangular pipes) are mounted perpendicularly on top of the farm. All elements are connected with bolts. After assembling the structure, it is necessary to check the strength of all connections. If necessary, provide more reliable protection.

The finished structure must be covered with a layer of primer, and then painted. This will extend its service life. When the paint is completely dry, you can install sheets of metal profiles. Installation starts from the bottom up.

It is necessary to ensure that the roof of the canopy in area exceeds the area of \u200b\u200bthe site between the supports.

Sheets need to be fixed with self-tapping screws. It is necessary to carry out at least 8 fasteners for one sheet. The first row of metal profile sheets is overlapped. The second row is installed end to end with the first row. But all sheets of the second row relative to each other are overlapped.

In order for the design to turn out to be of high quality, it is necessary to follow the advice of professionals:

Determine the depth of soil freezing in order to dig a hole of the required depth. Otherwise, the structure may tilt over time.
To make the roof tilted, it is necessary to adjust the angle by the difference in the lengths of the opposite supports.
In order to prevent unevenness, the soil should be carefully leveled and compacted.
Use quality fasteners. Self-tapping screws must be used with rubber gaskets, otherwise damage may occur on the material.
Be sure to prime all metal parts. This will protect the structure from corrosion.
Laying sheets overlap.
The metal profile does not need to be covered with a protective layer. The material is coated with a special paint that is resistant to adverse weather conditions.

You can get acquainted with the installation of a metal profile in this video. Recommendations of installation experts are provided.

If you perform the installation of the structure in accordance with all the requirements, then it will delight the eye of its owner for many years. The metal profile as a roofing material is the best option, because it is distinguished not only by its durability, but also by its good appearance. Do not forget that when constructing a canopy from a metal profile, it is recommended to use high-quality materials.

A canopy is a simple design, which, nevertheless, is very important for any suburban area, cottage, etc., since it allows you to protect from rain, a summer terrace, a parking lot, etc. One of the most popular is a hinged structure made of metal profile, since this material is inexpensive, durable and practical.

We will send the material to you by e-mail

An important part of the exterior of a country house is a canopy. It is designed to protect part of the yard from precipitation and ultraviolet rays, and also performs a decorative function. A small area, covered with material from above, is a canopy attached to the house. Photos of such structures can be seen in this review. In this case, the supports of the structure are displayed at the desired height. Attaching to the main building involves attaching one side of the structure to the wall of the house.

Hinged design allows you to create a great outdoor seating area

Sheds attached to the house, you can do it yourself. The photo shows the main stages of installation. The frame of the structure is often made of profiled pipe or timber. A similar design adjoins the wall and takes on the load from the snow accumulated on the roof.

The roof is usually covered with profiled sheet, slate or galvanized material. The metal for the frame structure has ductility and strength. It suits different styles. Such structures can be built with your own hands.

The frame system made of wood is wonderfully combined with other materials. The tree suits most architectural solutions. Before use, this material should be treated with protective preparations. Polycarbonate awnings attached to the house are becoming increasingly popular, photos of which can be viewed on the Internet.

Polycarbonate is easy to assemble and a variety of colors

Polycarbonate enjoys the following benefits:

plastic is durable. For him, mechanical impact is not scary;
light weight of the material;
polycarbonate transmits light well;
canvas flexibility.

Helpful information! When purchasing a construction kit for self-assembly, it is necessary to check the integrity and strength of all connections.

Sheds attached to the house: photos and design features

Sheds attached to the house, as shown in the photo, can be of two types. These are console models and canopies on supports. The console version can be of any length, but its width should not be more than two meters. Support structures can be used for various purposes.

Canopies can have different purposes:

car awnings;

various awnings: with posts, retractable or basket.

Often homeowners choose timber sheds. Such structures have an excellent set of characteristics:

are easy to erect;
withstand a long stay in the open air, especially with proper processing;
are characterized by safety for human health;
have an affordable price.

Helpful information! For comfortable use of the canopy, it is worth taking care of conducting light and installing lighting fixtures.

Options for canopies attached to the house from corrugated board: photos and design features

The awning from a professional flooring can be carried out in various configurations. Single-pitched, gable and arched structures are created from corrugated board. In addition, the construction of this material has the following features:

ease of manufacture;
saving money;
long operational period.

Important! A corrugated board canopy is mounted only with galvanized self-tapping screws that have sealing rubber.

Create a project

When choosing a design project, it is worth deciding on the following parameters:

dimensions and purpose of the structure;
plot size;
snow and wind loads;
snow depth and expected annual precipitation;
structural features of the main structure.

Before installation work, a drawing is required. Based on the size of the building, the required amount of material is determined.

Helpful information! When creating a canopy for a car, it is worth considering the passage of a car with a load.

Preparatory work

Before the planned canopies attached to the house are created, the photos of which can be viewed on the website, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. For this, a suitable site is marked out, and trees are uprooted on it. The clean area is leveled. At the same time, sand and gravel are poured.

Deepenings are drilled under the supports of the canopies. And at this stage, it is worth considering laying the cable under the lighting sources. A certain spacing of supports is selected. It depends on the severity of the roof and the frame part.

Racks are lowered into the prepared pits, which are poured with a concrete mixture. Pillars are set according to the level.

Important information! If groundwater is located nearby, then the ends of the pillars must be additionally waterproofed. Metal supports are pre-treated with a primer.

How to make a polycarbonate canopy attached to the house: photos and installation steps

After 12-15 days after the complete hardening of the concrete, you can start assembling the structure. Brackets are mounted on the wall, and then a cross beam on top.

Creating a crate

Top binding is in progress. The end parts of the racks are connected with the help of a transverse beam and with each other. In this case, parallel stacked profiles are used. The metal frame system is welded together, and the wooden frame is pulled together with steel corners.

Welding areas are cleaned, treated with a primer and painted. The rafters are mounted with transverse parts in increments of 600 mm. The structure is attached to the supporting beam using steel corners. The crate is laid across the rafters and mounted with self-tapping screws.

Roof installation

Sheets of roofing material are cut to size. Then they are attached to the crate. Pre-holes for self-tapping screws are made in polycarbonate.

To facilitate the drainage of water, the cells should be directed downwards. When working with plastic, do not forget to leave gaps between. Hole sizes should be made with a margin of 2-3 mm. There are some features of the installation of roofing from other materials.

Wooden beams can be used as beams. Over time, cracks may appear in the material, which will reduce the rigidity of the structure. After the installation of the beams, transverse boards are installed, and then the metal tile is fastened. Installation of this material is made from the bottom sheets. It should be borne in mind that there should be an overlap of the upper sheets on the lower ones.
