The technology of building a house from a bar

This building material is good because it is very convenient to use in cases where there is little experience in the construction of wooden buildings. That is, with a strong desire, you can build a country house from a bar with your own hands for both seasonal and permanent residence. Of course, a lot depends on the features of the chosen project: the more complex it is, the more nuances and the higher the likelihood of all kinds of “jambs” appearing. In this article we will try to concisely consider the technology of building a house from a bar. By clicking on the links contained in the text, you can learn more about specific types of work.

If you want, you can build your own

Choosing one or another version of the timber - differing in moisture content (and), profile (and not), manufacturing technology (or), you can affect the construction time of the building and its quality characteristics. For example, the shrinkage of the house depends on the humidity, the ventilation of the walls depends on the type of profile, and, of course, all types of material cost differently and can be made from different types of wood.

We will not dwell on the advantages of a particular solution, we advise you to read articles about the variations of this building material and bet on the option you like based on your financial capabilities. You can find all the information on our website in the "" section.

Already at the design stage of the building, the project should provide for specific systems and. This approach is not only correct, it will help to avoid inconsistencies at the stage of installation of elements of these systems. The same applies to the functional purpose of the premises - the layout should take into account all their features. For example, wet rooms, such as a toilet, a bathroom, are best placed in close proximity to each other - this will simplify the wiring of communications.

Construction stages

For work, the participation of two people will be enough. The beam does not differ in weight compared to other materials, but you still need to take into account your physical capabilities. Some structures, such as a roof, cannot be mastered by one person at all. An additional motivation for self-assembly of a log house can be the prices for such work in specialized firms. So, the cost of assembling a house from a bar (both glued and ordinary) is on average 30-60% of the cost of lumber. In some regions, rates reach 80%. To put the roof on, you will have to pay another 10-15% of the net cost of the log house.

Foundation

Log house assembly

The technology implies the crown laying of lumber, in which each subsequent crown is laid only after the installation of the underlying one. Jute is laid between the crowns to seal the joints between the bars. If a material of natural moisture is used, then every two crowns are connected in a checkerboard pattern with special elements that will stiffen the wall and help maintain its geometry during lumber drying. At the corners, the bars are connected into a bowl, a warm corner or into a paw - it all depends on the lumber used.

Installation of windows and doors

In a wooden building, the doors are also mounted in a pre-arranged pigtail. In the vertical parts of the ends, grooves are cut into which the bar is laid. The length of the bar is taken less than the height of the opening to ensure free shrinkage of the frame. A box is already attached to it, into which a door or window is mounted. The pigtail is not only an effective fastening structure, but also plays the role of an additional reinforcing element that fixes the opening in a given plane - it simply does not allow the beam to bend when the moisture content of the lumber changes.

Finally

In the article, we outlined only the main types of work, without paying attention, for example, to laying communications. But even this information will allow you to understand to some extent what the workers you hired are doing on the construction site.
