People acquire dachas in different ways - they inherit them, buy plots with a house and remodel or complete them for themselves, or buy land in an almost open field and begin to develop virgin lands. One of our craftsmen, who decided to join country life, was puzzled by just such a process. And since the most effective way to save money is to do it with your own hands, and that’s exactly what he did, starting small - with summer house at the dacha “for the first time.”

Country house 6x6 with built-in terrace 4x3

Gonzik1

Last year I purchased a plot of land in a field (like a new holiday village). The poles were installed, electricity was supplied to the site (it took two months to complete the paperwork), a panel was installed on the pole with a meter, a machine and an outlet. This year, having saved up some money, I started construction. I decided to do everything myself, because it’s cheaper and more reliable.

Project country house handmade

Project country house construction The craftsman created it with his own hands over the winter; according to his idea, this is the first module, to which he will later attach another one, combining both parts into a solid structure. By using special program made a drawing that allowed us to accurately calculate required quantity building materials.

Foundation

Since the house is lightweight, frame technology and on one floor, Gonzik1 gave preference columnar foundation from special concrete blocks (20x20x40 cm). His choice was also influenced by the low level groundwater(UGV) at the dacha and the excellent condition of similar foundations under neighboring buildings. Depending on the level, I used one or two blocks per pillar - removed the fertile layer, added sand cushion, stacked blocks. The plane was maintained using a hydraulic level. According to the craftsman, he appreciated this simplest tool– both cheap and the measurement accuracy is excellent. The pillars were covered with roofing felt for waterproofing. With the help of relatives, the foundation was ready in three days.

Water supply

There is no place for a central water supply in the field, so the problem of water supply is a personal matter for each summer resident. Our craftsman initially planned to drill a well. Test drilling at thirty-six meters was unsuccessful - dense black clay came out instead of water. The drillers reported that only an artesian well about ninety meters long would help, and they announced an exorbitant price. Gonzik1 I got upset, imagining the scale of the problem, and decided to dig a well, as the foreseeable future has shown - the decision is the right one. Three days of work, ten rings - a column of water for one and a half rings, restored in an hour and a half.

Box

The strapping is two-layer - at the bottom there is a board 100x50 mm, at the top - 100x40 mm, impregnated with fire and biological protection, the strapping elements were connected to each other with nails (100 and 120 mm). The strapping was laid on top of the roofing felt and secured to the posts with anchors.

All frame posts were also assembled from 100x40 mm boards with nails; the walls were raised directly on site using temporary jibs. They collected only the ridge on the ground, then lifted it onto the roof. This stage took another four days.

The rafters were installed next, wind boards, installed wind protection, counter battens and sheathing on top. As roofing our craftsman chose metal tiles.

Gonzik1

I read that no matter which side the sheets are laid on, they are often laid from left to right. It turned out, no, the tiles are laid from right to left, otherwise the next sheet will have to be placed under the previous one, which is extremely inconvenient, especially when installing alone. The weather was not very good, it was drizzling, there was wind, it moved along the roof like a cat, trying to cling to the sheathing with its feet. All twelve sheets of tiles (115x350 cm) were laid in half a day.

After the tiles, we got to the grounding, due to which the floor joists were not completely laid. Gonzik1 I used a corner 50x50x4 mm, a connection from a metal strip 40x4 mm, plus a piece of self-supporting insulated wire (SIP).

Then the entire structure was closed protective membrane, installed the door, laid floorboard on the terrace, we started covering the facade with imitation timber. The cash was immediately treated with protective impregnation. During the work, the craftsman made adjustments to the project - he made a third window, so there will be more light, and the view from the window is attractive.

Interior work

With the end of the holidays, the construction process slowed down as much as possible, since free weekends did not occur every week, but it continued. I finished with the floor - rough on OSB joists, a windproof membrane on top, stone wool slabs between the joists, sheathing, and then OSB again on it. As finishing coating supposed to be linoleum. The house also got another window.

I brought electricity into the house, insulated the perimeter with stone wool, a vapor barrier on top and clapboard as cladding.

The finishing process continued according to the same algorithm, contrasting trims on window openings added decorative value to the house. All interior walls will be covered with clapboard.

Gonzik1

There are no stoves planned, the house is for seasonal use - spring, summer, autumn. I plan to hang electric convectors, I have no problems with electricity there, three phases, new substation, 15 kW per site.

For all those interested, the craftsman posted a calculation of materials (all used boards are 6 meters long):

foundation blocks 200×200×400 mm, 30 pieces;
board 50x100 mm, 8 pieces (for the bottom layer of strapping);
board 40x100 mm, 96 pieces - approximately 8 pieces left;
board 25x10 mm, 128 pieces - approximately 12 pieces left;
timber 100×100 mm, 3 pieces;
rail 25×50 mm, 15 pieces;
imitation timber 18.5×146, 100 pieces – approximately 15 pieces left;
insulation, stone wool 1200×600×100 mm, 28 packs (6 slabs each) – pack left;
windproof membrane 1.6 m wide, 60 m² per roll, 3 rolls;
vapor barrier 1.6 m wide, 60 m² per roll, 3 rolls - approximately 0.5 rolls left;
OSB 3 2500×1200×9 mm, 15 pieces (rough and finishing floor) – approximately 1.5 slabs left;
metal tile 350×115 cm, 12 sheets;
lining 12.5x96 cm, 370 pieces (10 packs) - not sure it’s enough, partially used for toilet hemming, and the walls are not finished yet;
wooden windows 1000×1000 mm, 3 pieces;
entrance metal door 2050×900 mm, 1 piece;
protective impregnation for wood, 10 liters - 3 liters left, but the house is covered in only one layer.

Taking into account independent construction and finishing, the estimate turned out to be quite budgetary.

Gonzik1

Foundation - 2500 rubles.
Boards for the frame, wind protection, vapor barrier, imitation timber ( exterior decoration), lining ( interior decoration), insulation, etc. - 110,000 rubles.
Metal tiles - 20,000 rubles.
Door - 13,200 rubles.
Windows - 4,200 rubles x 3 = 12,600 rubles.
Forwarding SIP to the house - 3000 rubles (with the cable itself).
Impregnation - 3600 rubles.

I’m still planning to install electrical wiring around the house, I think I’ll spend 8-10 thousand. I don’t give the cost of nails, screws, staples for a stapler, etc., etc., because I no longer remember how much I purchased. Total: about 165,000 rubles.

For another short but fruitful vacation - I finished the electrical work, finished the interior paneling and painting, made a set for the kitchen, completed the terrace. I laid a 100x40 mm board on the terrace, took it unplaned, processed it with an electric planer, and then covered it with impregnation in two layers. Over the past winter, everything was in place, nothing moved, did not dry out or warp. The craftsman has plans to complete the second block, but this test of the pen is excellent - an excellent dacha for a family vacation.

All gardeners want their summer cottage not only to please with the harvest, but also to be attractive. No need to buy expensive ones decorative elements– good country homemade products You can make it yourself from scrap materials, which we mostly throw in the trash.

Useful crafts for the garden

As a rule, garden and summer cottage plots do not have a large area, and one can only dream of amenities in the form of a shower. Do garden shower It’s very easy to do it yourself:

It is important to choose the right location for the shower. It is better if it is an elevated place, then it will be more convenient to equip a drain. Do not locate the shower far from the house so as not to feel uncomfortable on a cool evening. Choose an area that is not covered by branches of bushes and trees - the water will not heat up through them, and a lot of insects will fly in.

The simplest type of shower is in the form of a stand mounted on a wall or vertical panel. All you have to do is supply water and drain wastewater.

Photos of homemade products for the garden and garden

A summer cottage is an area where you can give yourself the freedom to conduct numerous experiments and dream up your imagination to your heart’s content. This manifests itself not only in interior design, but mainly in the design of a garden or vegetable garden. Inquisitive and inventive owners have long ceased to be guided by expensive and standard methods for arranging their plots, since there are many alternative solutions in fact for all areas of activity.

There are several types of vertical beds that allow you to optimize the use of free space. Non-standard designs are a great opportunity to create interesting design garden, vegetable garden, summer cottage.

This type of beds is in most cases used for growing ornamental plants or herbs.

Materials for production:

Length drainpipes regulated in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the site. However, you should not make bulky beds, as they can complicate movement around the area.

Creating a bed

Stage 1. Create a container. To do this, take a drainpipe, cut it in half lengthwise and put special plugs on both sides.

Stage 2. We take the prepared metal holders and put them on the resulting frames for the beds.

Stage 3. We make holes in the pipe. They are made in those places where metal fasteners will be located.

Stage 4. We pass a cable or strong rope through the holes made.

Stage 5. Fix the cable/rope using fasteners.

Stage 6. Fill the resulting beds with expanded clay and soil.

Stage 7. Plant the plants in the beds.

Stage 8. We hang the pipes to the selected location. Sometimes a special wooden crossbar is installed for this purpose, or rather a structure in the shape of the letter “P”.

Step 9: Alternatively, a special design can be made for the pipes.

Important! A bed made of drainpipes is not resistant to strong gusty winds, so you should choose a place for it that is not blown from four directions by winds. Otherwise, the frame will quickly collapse, nullifying all your efforts.

A garden bed made from plastic bag, is another modification of vertical beds. It is extremely compact, functional and interesting in appearance. You can make such a bed in a couple of hours.

Materials for production:

durable polyethylene film;
sewing machine;
priming;
seedling.

In order for the bed to be strong, it is recommended special attention pay attention to thickness polyethylene film, which is in in this case will act as the “frame” of the structure. Minimum thickness films - 0.2 millimeters.

The process of creating a polyethylene bed

Step 1. We cut out 2 rectangular pieces of film, the size of which corresponds to the size of the bed being created. An allowance of one and a half to two centimeters should be left on each side. The recommended diameter of the bed is twenty centimeters.

Step 2. Sew the rectangles together, leaving only the top part bag.

Step 3. Sew to future garden bed a handle whose strength will allow it to withstand the weight of a bag filled with soil. It should also be taken into account that when watering the weight will increase.

Step 4. Fill the bag with fertilized soil.

Step 5. We make horizontal cuts on the bag in increments of twenty centimeters. They are necessary in order to plant seedlings in the garden.

Step 6. Plant seedlings.

Step 7. Regularly water the soil and add the necessary fertilizers.

With these simple steps you can get a cheap and useful garden bed.

An integral element of every summer cottage is a compost heap. This is the place where all sorts of biochemical reactions take place to create fertilizers.

To create fertilizers that will satisfy all the requirements placed on them, several key steps should be carefully considered: creating the container and directly correct production the compost itself. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.

Stage 1. Take eight support posts of the same length.

Stage 2. Treat the bottom of the wooden posts with motor oil or tar.

Stage 3. We dig the posts into the ground so that they are reliable and stable. If compost bin will be located next to the fence, then 4 posts (that is, one side) can be attached to the fence. This will avoid having to dig 4 holes.

Stage 4. Between each two adjacent posts we nail the crossbars so that we end up with three independent sections. Be sure to leave gaps that will serve as ventilation holes.

Stage 5. In two sections, we nail the boards horizontally to half the height of the pillars. In these places it is planned to create two small doors.

Stage 6. The remaining section will big door, so only one board should be nailed. It should be located at the very bottom in a horizontal position, that is, like a regular crossbar.

Stage 7. Install the covers. To do this, you can use one large solid board.

Stage 8. Install the pre-prepared doors.

Stage 9. We provide the doors with handles and latches.

Stage 10. We process the wood using special impregnations.

Stage 11. Paint the box in any color that suits your preferences.

Many gardeners mistakenly believe that any components can be dumped into a compost heap. In reality, to create the right biofertilizer, the “ingredients” must be carefully selected.

Among the required components compost heap the following components:

peat;
ash;
needles;
tree branches;
leaves;
hay or grass;
wood ash;
plant roots;
raw vegetables and fruits, etc.

All elements are randomly mixed in a heap. To speed up chemical reactions It is recommended to cover the pile with a tarpaulin (this is especially true if there is no box).

Trips to the dacha with the family require the presence of entertainment elements on the site that will delight children. The most common way to keep young summer residents occupied is a swing.

Building a swing yourself is not an easy task, but it is quite doable. Of course, you can always take a stick, tie it with a rope and hang the structure on a tree, but this can hardly be called a full-fledged swing. Real craftsmen prefer to build comfortable structures with a comfortable place to sit.

Structural components:

two logs;
strong rope.

Indicators:

log diameter – 85 mm;
log length – 700 mm;
distance between ropes – 500 mm.

Making a swing

Stage 1. We stretch the ropes between the logs.

Stage 2. Wrap ropes around each log.

Stage 3. Let the ropes out.

Stage 4. Tighten the ropes to 3 knots.

Stage 5. Attach the swing to the tree.

Important: this swing is designed for only one person.

Garden path from scrap materials

There are several types of garden paths that you can easily make with your own hands.

Step 1. Remove the sidewall from the tire using a knife or saw.

Step 2. Cut the tires.

Step 3. Line the space with corrugated stripes.

Step 4. Paint the path with paint.

Step 5. Sprinkle with stone chips.

This economical option for those who don’t want to rack their brains and waste time on a full-fledged garden path. Tire paths are usually used for vegetable gardens, as they are easily laid in the ground.

Stage 1. Paint the corks in different colors.

Stage 2. Dig a small trench.

Stage 3. We drive in supports to strengthen the future path.

Stage 4. We construct the formwork using boards.

Stage 5. Install spacers along the edges of the trench.

Stage 6. Place crushed stone deep into the trench and compact it thoroughly.

Stage 7. Make a solution from sand, cement, glue and water.

Stage 8. Pour the solution into the trench.

Stage 9. Press in the plugs in random order. Smooth multi-colored stripes look interesting.

These are the simplest and quick ways make a garden path without purchasing expensive materials.

DIY tools

The expression “everything is useful on the farm” turns out to be more relevant when we're talking about about canisters. From this plastic container You can make a large number of indispensable tools that are actively used in the process of summer cottage work.
