The veranda makes a country house or cottage much more spacious and gives a new attractive appearance. If a new house is being built, it is better to take into account the possibility of an extension of the verandas to it in advance so that the frames of the house and the extensions to it are united. In the same case, if the veranda is made for a ready -made house, this will not become an annoying obstacle.
A columnar is usually chosen for the role of the foundation for the veranda. The foundation columns are located at the corners of the extension, if necessary, adding intermediate with an increased length of the veranda. Shallow, a little more than 1 meter of the pit is covered with a small layer of sand or crushed stone, the base of the foundation is concreted, then laid out brick columns. The frame of the veranda is made of a bar or log.
The lower strapping is better to make double, for durability you can make it from larch. You need to cut the lags for the flooring of the floor in the strapping.
Pillars of racks are installed in the strapping. The upper binding and rafters are created on the racks for the future roof. A horizontal beam is strengthened in the upper part of the house. For the reliability of fastening the beam and racks adjacent to the house, it is best to use anchor bolts. The design must be calculated so that the roof of the veranda and the roof of the house are one whole. The roof of the veranda is usually made single -toe, preferably from the same material as the roof of the house.
