Canopy – the design favorable in any relation: it is inexpensive, pre-fabricated, durable. Under canopy it is possible to cover not only the car, but also various equipment, garden and garden products, economic stock.
All types of the designs providing the shelter from precipitation can be separated into several main categories: attached, separate, with direct and inclined roof, decorative, functional.
The canopies built in the form of extension, as a rule, have over porch, entrance group, balcony. Canopies with inclined roof can be twin, lean-to, with broken roof or executed in the form of arch. Decorative designs are intended for decoration of the site and represent shelter from sunshine for the owners of dacha who are at it animals or plants. Functional canopies are intended for performance of certain task. For example, they can act as garage and warehouse.
Before works it is necessary to decide on assignment of canopy, to choose material for its construction, to prepare necessary tools. The basic structural components of any canopy – support and roof. In case of need further it is possible to build 1-3 walls which can be as continuous as also half-open. Support can be made brick, bar, asbestos or steel pipes, metal corners. I rat – from polycarbonate, the pro-thinned-out leaf, metal tile and other roofing materials: slate, ondulin, soft tile. With roof from polycarbonate will be necessary for construction of canopy: the shovel, tsirkulyarka, drill, the screw driver, aluminum and perforated tape completing to polycarbonate (profile and thermowashers), self-tapping screws on tree. Work is begun with performance of marking in the course of which with the maximum accuracy define location of each support. Irrespective from what material they will be built, it will be required to dig out holes which depth has to be 10 cm lower than point of freezing of soil in this region. Further, carry out installation of support. If it is the columns put brick, the bottom of hole is filled in with concrete. For installation of metal pipes or bar it will be required to make dumping of sand (thickness of layer of 5-7 cm) and gravel (layer 10-15 cm high). The vertical position of columns is checked by means of construction level. Having established support in hole, strengthen it struts from all directions and make backfilling. For bigger confidence the columns can be concreted. Then start construction of roof. Over support build the binding uniting them in uniform design. For this purpose use bar with a section of 10/10 cm, boards 4-5 cm thick, pipes or corner. Parts of binding fasten among themselves to the help of metal corners. Further, mount roof. To binding fix profile for polycarbonate. Then pull material. It is recommended to use cellular polycarbonate not less than 8 mm thick as thinner can not sustain snow and wind load.
