When you are at the dacha, you want to spend more time outdoors, but the scorching sun or downpour drives people into the house. To prevent this from happening, you need to take care of a reliable shelter and design a canopy.

It is not difficult to build such a structure if you approach the work with all seriousness. In this article, we will tell you in detail how to make a recreation area comfortable for spending time in the country and how to build a canopy with your own hands.

Peculiarities

Suspended structures are made temporary or permanent. The functional purpose of all sheds is the same - to provide a comfortable stay and protect against adverse weather and heat. Depending on the goals, this will be a solid building or a hinged collapsible mechanism.

In the first case, it can be a gazebo in the garden, an extension to the house, a separate building in a recreation area. In the second, there is a light collapsible design that will hide people from bad weather while fishing or at a picnic.

A canopy for outdoor recreation is significantly different from what is installed in the country. It is lightweight, collapsible, but it must be with a sufficiently stable frame, otherwise it will not withstand the slightest wind and will collapse.

You can, of course, do without a frame: take a large piece of awning fabric, make special loops around the edges to fix it on tree branches. This is the easiest option and installs very quickly. Collapsible structures are also used in the country: sliding awnings are attached to brackets.

With the help of the remote control, they can even be controlled remotely, covering, for example, the desired area from the sun. The peculiarity of such structures is that they can be collapsed at any time. But usually at the dacha, people make more solid sheds in order to use them not seasonally, but constantly.

And here it all depends on the material. Naturally, in this case, you need to make a start from the roof material. For the roof, polycarbonate, awning fabric, metal tiles, corrugated board are suitable. In the latter case, you need to understand that there will be a lot of noise during the rain. But corrugated board is an inexpensive and reliable material.

For an arched canopy, it is better to take cellular polycarbonate, which bends well, easily takes the desired shape, and in terms of protective functions, it is not inferior to other materials, including iron.

The awnings are also covered with tarpaulin, PVC, acrylic fabrics. The fabric base is usually removed for the winter. For shelter over the pool, material for high humidity is used. In short, the peculiarity of each canopy depends on where it is located, for what purposes it is intended and what it is made of.

Projects

To build a canopy, you first need to decide on the place where the structure will stand. It can be attached to the mansion or made near the house, in the garden, in the garden, in the yard - any place is suitable for a recreation area, if there is, as they say, a roof over your head.

To go out into nature, it is enough to purchase a lightweight structure of a factory warehouse. There are a lot of street options for outdoor recreation, such a shelter can be built with your own hands without any special problems, but you will have to work harder over the area near the house.

After determining the location, work on the design of the structure: you must imagine what the canopy will look like in appearance, what its dimensions are, in order to determine the amount of materials and take into account other nuances.So, if the shelter is adjacent to the building, you need to make appropriate measurements, taking into account the entrance space and the location of the door.

In the design of a car structure, the distance between the supports is taken into account in order to provide the vehicle with free movement during entry and exit. By the way, if you make such a canopy larger, then you can equip a rest corner next to your iron horse.

When designing a separate structure for relaxing in the yard or in the garden, it is necessary to take into account the height of the barbecue and be sure to create conditions for the safe frying of kebabs. That is, compliance with fire safety rules is the first thing to pay attention to in this case. If the building is serious and solid with a barbecue area, then it is better to obtain a permit for the construction of such a structure in the GPN (Pozhnadzor).

During the design work, the peculiarities of the location of the object and the region as a whole are taken into account. So, it is important to have an idea of ​​how much snow falls, what is the speed and direction of the winds at different times of the year, and so on. For example, the sloping part of the roof is located on the leeward side. When the scheme is ready, taking into account all the nuances, they begin to build a canopy.

How to do it?

Certain awnings will require a foundation. Let's look at how to make the simplest structure adjacent to the house with our own hands.

First, install the 4 front feet. It is better to concrete them to a depth of half a meter, and not just bury them. In this case, the rear support is attached to the wall at a level of 2.5 meters so that a slope is formed. To connect the front supports to the rear, you will need timber and corners.

The roof can be made of polycarbonate, the sheets are placed on a wooden grid with UV protection upwards. Here it is necessary to take into account the peculiarity of the selected material for the roof. Fix the cellular polycarbonate with bolts with a rubber washer, screw it quite tightly, but without crushing them into the sheet. A gutter can be attached to the canopy.

For the frame, a 5x5 cm bar is suitable. For the metal base of the frame, you will need a welding machine, but not everyone has one, so if you make a shelter for rest with your own hands, proceed from your capabilities.

You can, of course, hire specialists or purchase ready-made designs.
