A do-it-yourself country house is easiest to make using the technology of a frame house. We present you 5 projects of frame houses with photos that will help you in choosing the layout and design of a country house. In addition to useful plans and photos, we will tell you about the basic points of building a frame house, which must be taken into account when choosing a project.
Frame house project 1:
country house with an open plan.
For a frame house, a columnar or columnar-strip foundation is usually used, which significantly reduces the cost of building a country house. After all, about 30% of the total construction budget is spent on creating the foundation of a house.
The columnar foundation eliminates the need for a significant amount of earthwork, reduces the consumption of expensive building materials. For this type of foundation, costly work on heat and waterproofing is not needed. Such a foundation is an excellent solution for sandy soil or soil with a high level of groundwater.
In the conditions of building a country house with your own hands, you can take a red burnt bu brick for a columnar foundation. Columns in two bricks are able to hold on themselves a light one-story frame house.
In addition to bricks, concrete blocks or asbestos-cement pipes can be chosen as supports. In the case of pipes, they will serve as a kind of fixed formwork for pouring concrete supports.
A properly built columnar foundation will serve you for over 100 years. This is a good foundation option not only for the house, but also for any summer cottages - baths, sheds, gazebos, etc. It is fair to mention the lack of a columnar foundation - this is the absence of a basement in a country house. If having a basement is important to you, then building a freestanding one can negate all the savings from this type of foundation.
Frame house project 2:
country house-studio.
For flooring in a frame house, wooden beams treated with an antiseptic, reinforced with crossbars, are used. The floor must be reliably insulated, because with a columnar foundation, it is blown through with us. The main feature of the frame house is an effective insulation system.
Floor coverings in a frame house are a pie of rough floor boards, mineral wool, vapor barrier, OSB boards, substrates for the finishing floor and the finishing floor. It is this design that guarantees a warm floor in the coldest winter.
The ceiling of a frame house has a similar structure, but the first element is a plasterboard slab instead of a subfloor.
The country house itself, built using the technology of frame construction, is a rigid frame of wooden beams and corner braces that enhance the strength of the structure. All wood for the construction of the house is treated with antiseptics and modern impregnations against fire.
Outside, the frame house is sheathed with OSB boards and a windproof membrane. Then, insulation (mineral wool, cellulose) is laid between the wooden racks and the “pie” is sewn up with a second OSB board from the inside.
High-quality insulation with modern materials - a kind of layer cake made of OSB, vapor barrier film and mineral wool will provide reliable heat to the country house. A correctly made frame floor 10 cm thick corresponds to a 2 m brick wall in terms of thermal insulation.
Frame house project 3:
The exterior finish of a frame house is made according to the principle of a ventilated facade, where wooden slats are stuffed between the wall of the house and the sheathing, which form an air gap that ensures the dryness of the insulation and thus increases its effectiveness in any weather.
A ventilated facade will increase the life of the walls of a country house and smooth out sudden temperature changes.
The outer skin of a frame house can be made of wood, siding, brick, decorative plaster. In fact, for the exterior of the house, any material will suit your taste and budget.
Frame house project 4:
small country cottage.
Frame houses came to us from Scandinavia and Canada, where the climate is quite harsh and people know the price of a warm house.
Often, for an ignorant person, frame houses look like flimsy and unreliable buildings, but more and more summer residents are mastering the benefits of this modern technology.
Frame house project 5:
cottage with two bedrooms.
Why is the frame house project attractive for building a country house with your own hands?
You can build a country house quickly in one season. You do not need to stretch the construction for several years, when in the classic version for a brick country house, the foundation is poured in one year, then the box is erected, then this structure must settle to shrink, then finishing work must be done. In addition, such a house can be built almost all year round (up to a temperature of -15 degrees).
You can build a country house with your own hands. To build such a house, two people are enough who can completely build such a house in 2-3 months. If you first carry out work to study the intricacies of building a frame house, fully decide on the project and calculate the consumption of materials, then building such a country house over the summer is quite a feasible task for any summer resident.
A frame country house is an economical construction option. If you have a limited budget, then using frame construction technologies, you will get not only a cheap, but also a modern warm country house. You will save on building materials, on their delivery, on payment of builders. You can build such a house in a modular way - its design makes the possibility of further extension as simple as possible. So you can break down the construction of a large house into several completed stages, according to your budget.
You will have a warm country house and you will save on heating. The main thing in a frame house is modern insulation systems, when everything in the "pie" of OSB, insulating films and the insulation itself is well thought out, is in its place and works as efficiently as possible for one main goal - to provide maximum effective thermal insulation by optimal means.
You can build a country house on difficult soils. The light construction of a frame house, a columnar foundation is a solution for problematic soils that can be appreciated by everyone who has already tried to build on their summer cottage, where, for example, groundwater is high.
Simplicity and economy of finishing works. Upholstering the inner side of the frame house ceiling with OSB boards, you get a perfectly flat surface, on which it is then quite easy to carry out any finishing work.
Ecological microclimate of a country house. A house built using frame construction technology has the same healthy microclimate as a wooden house.
If you own a tool at the household level, then having a well-thought-out project in your hands, understanding all the rules and regulations for the construction of frame houses, you can build an economical, energy-saving, environmentally friendly country house with your own hands.
How to build a sim-pa-tich-ny and not expensive wooden frame with your own hands with a one-pitched roof. Step-by-step photo project for the construction of your own hands.
And so, today we will take a rather detailed look at the tech-no-logia of the construction of not expensive dachas at home. I think this project will be useful to many who want to build a not expensive and not complicated frame house, but do not know how it works. We will build this pro-of-ve-de-art-stva on a column-cha-tom fun-da-men-te, although I am not a fan of this techno-lo-gy building and-tel-stvo. But not the point. Meet me!
How to build a frame house?
As I already said, we need to beat the pillar-cha-th fund-da-ment. Looking at this photo, many will say why there are so many bi-tables. To this I will answer this way. Fun-da-ment is a guarantee of the long-term life of your house, and the stronger it is, the longer your house will live. But don’t think so that make a fool pray to God, he prays to his forehead and ras-shi-bet. No, everything has its weighty reasons. Each row of bi-tables fulfills its specific role, and you should not neglect this. Since you are building a house according to a frame tech-no-logia and not a house made of timber, which, by comparison, has a large other -ness, then the frame structures are more flexible in this regard, and where there is not enough emphasis, the board can bend, which in the end can affect the entire geometry of the house. I will try to emphasize this moment in the right places.
Since the floor will be insulated and made like a stove, we need to do it. Lying down in this design plays a triple role. First, they cut off the lower harness of the house from contact with concrete. How right-vi-lo lie-no well-obra-ba-you-wa-yut anti-sep-ti-ka-mi from rotting. It is also recommended to use more expensive species of wood that are less susceptible to rotting than pine. The second, not unimportant role, lies play as a means of leveling, so to speak, the horizon or the level, as it is convenient for you. And there is a third role for these boards in the construction of this dacha house. On them we will lay the black floor. A cheaper and more reliable way to treat a bed will be to use a bitumen primer or mastic.
The primer is essentially like liquid and black paint, after applying the height, it forms a water-from-tal-ki-va-u-th coating . The suit is thicker and more mas-la-ni-flock, nano-sit-sya is more difficult than the primer, but no one does not like it not strictly and not insects. Lying down at the kru-chi-va-em to the table-bam, between the pillar-cha-th fun-da-men-tom and lying-ny-mi-kla-det-sya rube-ro-id.
After laying the bed, we are going to make-to-le-ni. To make it easier for us to assemble the lower harness, we retreat from the outer edge of the pillar by 10 cm and lay-we-va-em along the perimeter of the dos -ki, at the same time, don’t forget to check the dia-go-on-whether constructions, they must coincide. Boards for this element we will use 50x150 mm. After assembling the first crown of the lower strapping, we lay the floor logs in the center of the bed. Lying down should protrude from each side by 5 cm.
Next, lay-dy-va-em the second row of boards, thereby increasing the thickness of the lower strapping. How did you probably notice that each lag comes on a pole and supports two more in the middle, thereby enclosing no-chi-vaya any pro-vi-sa-dos under a rather significant load, which can form during ex-pl- a-ta-tion at home. In fact, the entire weight of the frame structure is ras-pre-de-la-is-equal to the entire column-cha-th fun-da-ment and this is right-vil -But.
The corner of the lower strapping is joined by such a method.
With the third row of dos-ki, we seize-you-va-eat the veranda, and we already have a more accurate car-ti-well-measurement of our house. I forgot to say the house will be 6x8 of them under the roof 4x8 the rest is a veranda.
We strengthen the second row of boards along the inner diameter of the lower piping of the veranda and join the mon-ta-jo floor log. At the moment, we will fasten the floor lags on metal-li-che-sky special-ci-al-sco-by.
Lay-dy-va-em on the bed and fix the black floor. Thus, we won a useful space for insulation. Of course, 10 san-ti-meters will not be enough for a constant-yang-no-go living all year round, but if you use a dos-ku of 50x200 mm. on the lower harness and on the logs of the floor, then the situ-a-tion of the card-di-nal-but improves.
After warming the underground space, laying the floorboard on our stove and rejoice about the de-lan-noy work. On this, the most difficult and tedious part of the work is over, then there will be only creativity.
We-stu-pa-em to the construction of the frame walls of our-th part of the tree-vyan-no-th dacha-no-th house. Here in principle-qi-pe everything is simple, the main thing is everything is right-vil-but count.
Mont-ti-ru-em the second wall, according to our-th working project. Between the floor and the wall, pro-cla-dy-va-em is obligatory for-tel-but ju-to-vuyu tape. Since the house is with a pitched roof, the front wall will be higher with us.
Mont-ti-ru-em lateral deaf frame wall. When installing the same walls, we use the level and the joints between the walls-on-mi also pro-cla-dy-va-em ju-to-howl tape, if you want to do everything conscientiously.
After the installation of the fourth wall, the construction is stiffened. For fastening the walls, use nails or nails.
Ukla-dy-va-em stro-pi-la. The edge lines are fastened to the side walls and, with the help of the corners, are fastened to the top board of the front and back walls . The rest of the stro-pi-la just pry-chi-va-em with the help of corners to the walls.
An important point in the mont-same stro-saw system is that the stro-pi-la style-dy-va-yut-sya is strictly above the supports, stop walls, thereby it will be right-vil-but dis-pre-de-lyat-Xia and transfer-yes-Vat-Xia load from the roof to the lower harness.
Mont-ti-ru-em torso planks with outlets under the side overhang of the roof.
We make it in advance and attach it to the dos-ke jumpers under the roof overhang. After that, this construction is put into place.
Then close-va-em its torso-howling plan-coy. On this note, we will consider our frame of the future dacha ready. Approaching the construction of the veranda.
Veranda for a country house
On the stands of the verandas of the dachas of the house, we need to beat the hundredth beam. The verandah of the dacha will also be with a single-pitched roof, so stop doing it the same way in length.
Lay-dy-va-em on the stand, also the hundredth beam and everything is basically-va-tel-but fastened-la-em nage-la-mi.
Ukla-dy-va-em stro-pi-la on the veranda. Between the stro-pi-la-mi, you can lay the bars, thereby making it easier to strengthen the stro-saws to the mau-er-la-tu. We are already doing this in one of the projects for manufacturing.
We do deco-ra-tiv-nye peri-la on the veranda. And we-stu-pa-em to the sheathing of the facade, yes. As a facade, yes, we will use them-ta-ti-brus-sa.
Imi-ta-tion bru-sa on the facade of the car-cas-no-th house looks like it’s just led-to-stucco-but.
The house begins to poti-ho-no-ku pre-ra-reap-sya, but something is missing in this picture under the name “How to build a summer cottage”
Of course, it is necessary to give the roof a more noble look. First of all, by all rights, let's insulate the roof.
But at the last stage, it’s not warming the roof of the car-cas-no-go-dacha-no-go house, we need to do a little bit differently mu. As an obre-shet-ki in this project, I used a 50x100 mm beam. thereby giving the roof more volume and strength. We put the torso-plan-ku with a standard-dart-no-th-measure of 50x150 mm. or 40x150 mm. If we make the third layer, then we will use a beam with a size of 50x50 mm. and the end plan will be 100 mm wide. The previous two layers can already be insulated, thereby getting a thickness of 250 mm on the roof. which will be considered very good for the time being.
According to this principle, qi-pu, kro-vel-ny pie can be made much stronger, warmer and thicker. But you don’t need to be diligent, you don’t need to do more than three layers, in this vari-an-te we operate with the width of the board.
After that, the roof was sewn up with a board and a flexible skull was laid. For this reason, we have one beautiful, in which the whole process of building a roof is shown in detail, and not only.
Country house with your own hands Let's make a beauty, and here it is, our wooden frame cottage is ready. In my opinion, it’s pretty good, but I got a country house. And what do you think?
If you have recently acquired a summer cottage, then the issue of building a small country house is very relevant for you. It can store household items, expensive tools, as well as create a small lounge and kitchen. In this article, we will look at how to make construction of a country house inexpensively with your own hands, and also find out what materials you can decently save on.
Building a country house inexpensively with your own hands
Of course, like any construction, it also needs to start with a budget calculation. How much money are you willing to spend on this project? If enough, then you can think about building a brick house. Otherwise, it is recommended to use the borrowed frame house technology. The advantages of this method are obvious - saving money, as well as the efficiency of the work performed. In a couple of weeks your house will be ready for operation.
Stages of building a country house:
Creating a project. If you do not want to contact a specialized agency, then you can create your own project, which will be convenient for you personally. The main thing that you have to do in any case is to show your finished project to professionals in order to avoid possible problems in the future. As for the area of the future home, it all depends on your personal preferences and capabilities. 40 sq.m. is quite enough.
Purchase of building materials. What materials are needed to build a country house with your own hands? Today, the market offers a huge variety of high-quality, efficient and durable materials that are suitable for any construction:
- A log or beam. Wood will be needed in any case. Depending on the quality of raw materials, the cost of timber will fluctuate. Carefully inspect the material, it is important that it is thoroughly dried.
- Brick or cinder block. They are low cost, durable and reliable. Although building a house with these materials will not greatly affect the costs, be prepared to spend an impressive amount on subsequent wall decoration.
- SIP - panels. High-quality, modern materials that not only save you money, but also time. A house made of SIP panels is warm, dry and comfortable.
Important! If you want to save money on materials, study the market well. You will be able to find quality raw materials at a big discount. You should not focus on branded companies, since they are the ones who wind up more than 50% on the price.
Where to start building a country house on a summer cottage?
The most important element of any country house is the foundation. It depends on the duration of the operation of the structure, its reliability and strength. Of course, the foundation should not be neglected, since any mistake or wrong action will immediately be expressed in cracks and splits in the walls. Before digging a trench under the foundation, carefully calculate the weight of future materials - walls, roofs, cladding, insulation and finishes. All this adds kilograms. Usually, the depth of the foundation of the house should be at least 1 m. After pouring, it must be left for a month for tamping and drying.
Immediately after the foundation, you can begin to build the frame and install the roof truss system. It is also worth considering high-quality sewage. If the central sewer, then you should buy a septic tank with leads to irrigation fields.
So, is it possible to build a country house cheap do it yourself? Certainly. The main thing is to plan and not rush to buy materials from the first person you meet.

Do-it-yourself summer houses for relaxation
Most summer residents live outside the city only in the summer and do not need expensive permanent houses. They want to have a roof over their heads and enough living space to accommodate family members.
How to build a house with your own hands?
An optimal economic pension is best suited for this purpose.
Advantages of summer cottages
Boards for the home are popular due to the following advantages:
- High level construction - 2-6 weeks
- Low cost - from 3 to 8 thousand rubles per square meter. m against 18 thousand rubles. per square meter. m for houses with brick walls
- Low weight, which allows the use of cheap shallow foundations
- Resistant to freezing forces
- Ability to manufacture parts in a factory, which improves the quality of construction and simplifies assembly
- No shrinkage
- Wide range of architectural solutions
- The ability to warm up and adapt at home for life
Panel house design
The house consists of a wooden or metal frame covered with shields.
The metal frame is made of a rectangular cross section, of wood - from a rod. For outdoor coatings:
- slats
- OSB panels
- Profiled film
- Moisture resistant plates
- Asbestos-cement slabs
- toilet
The inner skin is made from moisture resistant materials.
If the house is to be lived all year round, the walls are lined in isolation.
Construction of panel houses
Construction companies offer services for the construction of turnkey panel holiday homes or a set of parts for their own construction. The first option frees the builder from most of the problems, while the other allows you to build a house for your summer house and save money.
Project selection
A quality project is the basis for success in building a house.
Serious companies that are engaged in the production of prefabricated houses and key building kits offer dozens of standard models and offer customized design services.
Individual projects are quite expensive, so they are rarely used for economy class houses.
Creating a standard project allows you to save in design and a wide range of already prepared architectural solutions - choose the desired design and location of the house.
foundations
Under the light panel house, spacers and recesses are used with columns and ribbons and screw pilots.
- Small hidden poles save costs and reduce construction time.
The columns are installed in increments of 1.5 to 3 meters under the outer walls and columns, at the corners of the building and at the places where the inner walls meet the outer walls. They are made of logs, concrete, red brick, bentonite and base blocks. The coating depth is up to 40 cm, the cross section must exceed the wall thickness. To increase stability, the columns are connected with wooden or reinforced concrete beams
- Countertops do not allow you to install a warm basement.
If the project is provided for in the project, a shallow recessed base substrate is applied under the external walls, and the foundation under the foundation is made under the internal walls. Cover depth and tape width are the same as for poles. The tape is made of concrete, quarry or foundation blocks
- On weak floors, it is based on screwdrivers.
Their use allows the house to rest on solid ground that is deeper than the surface. Helicopter base can be built in 1 to 2 days without the use of heavy equipment
frame
The panel of a prefabricated house can be made from a kit made in a factory or from purchased materials, in-house or a contractor.
Turnkey construction of a house eliminates most of the problems for the developer, with the exception of control over the execution of construction work - it is impossible to check the quality of the assembly of the frame on its surface.
For self-assembly of the frame from factory parts, follow the instructions and wiring diagram included with the kit.
The work is reminiscent of a meeting of a designer and quite possible for a developer with experience in construction.
The cheapest but most worrisome option is to build the lumber itself. Depending on the size and number of floors of the house, the frame is made of a rod 100 × 100 - 150 × 150 mm or 50 mm thick.
The frame is mounted in the following order:
- At the top of the base is the waterproofing of the roofing material
- For the foundation with built-in parts and anchor bolts for fixing the frame (thresholds) - beams, it is located on the edge of the house and under the prairie
- Place logs and give rough ground.
Lies on the edges of the base or beam beam
- Install vertical skeletal posts - first at the corners and then - on the walls of the 0.6 m shelf, installed on the slot, propylene in the bottom panel, securing the clip and nails and fixing the first temporary, then the permanent remainder.
At the same time, they constantly control their vertical and location in the same plane. The corner posts are made of sticks and you can use the same width edge plate 50mm for intermediate use
- In the upper places, the upper tape works. Frame door and window openings
All wooden structures must be impregnated with antiseptic compounds.
Overlapping and coating
Wooden columns are placed on the top frame of the frame and are secured with structural clamps.
Width 3-4 meters - plate size 50x150mm with a large range - 100x150-150x150mm. The beam is 0.6 m. In this case, 1.8 m wide screens (modules) are used to cover the ceiling.
Rafting clusters are made on the floor on a panel 50x120-50x150 m.
First install the outer rafts, and then the intermediate elements that control the position of the rafters in one plane. Then make a box and close the roof. Roofing materials for the house should be light, for example:
- bituminous tiles
- metal panel
- Profiled film
- bituminous slate
wall coverings
The width of the screens must be equal to the degree of installation of the frame rails and the length to the height of the walls.
Guards are on offer at the workplace in the following order:
- Plates assembled
- On the frame, the polyethylene film was vapor barrier
- Swipe Inner Bezel Frame
- Frame facing, heater inserted inside
- Wind resistant protective membrane
- Get outer skin
The coat should be compressed above the frame by half the width of the frame frame to hide them.
The perimeter protective frame is covered with a heater and is tightly inserted between the frame frames. The application is done with nails. When using sheet material, it can be without a frame. The cutting plates are attached directly to the frame and the heater is inserted between the posts.
As can be seen from the description, the construction of a country house with the forces of a brigade of two or three people of average qualification.
Using factory modules greatly speeds up assembly. Just a few weeks after the installation of the frame, you can move into a cottage and enjoy the outdoors.

Country houses from foam blocks: building a house over the summer
Country houses made of foam blocks are lightweight, fireproof.
Due to the large dimensions of the blocks and the exact dimensions, construction is carried out at a high speed. It is quite possible to build a house for the summer.
The use of foam blocks in the construction of various structures guarantees heat saving and fast pace of work. A country house made of this material will cost more than wood, but less than brick.
What are foam blocks good for
- They have an exact geometric shape, the dimensions are well sustained.
Therefore, they can be installed quickly.
- moisture resistant
- Inexpensive
- Strength increases over time
- They have very low thermal conductivity.
According to this indicator - one of the best materials for construction
- They have a small specific gravity. Therefore, they are made with rather large sizes, which has a positive effect on the speed of wall construction.
- Easily processed
But there are disadvantages
- Can't take heavy loads
- Slowly gain strength.
This is where shrinkage occurs.
Do-it-yourself country house 6x6. Photo report. Part 1
As a result, cracks may occur.
Use high-quality autoclaved foam concrete - it is less prone to shrinkage.
For the construction of one-story country houses, the strength of foam concrete is quite sufficient. In this case, it is necessary to reinforce the upper bearing row with reinforcement.
Foundation
Usually, during the construction of a country house, a tape shallow foundation is used.
It can be done in different ways. 
- From prefabricated blocks laid without connection, freely
- From blocks, with the device of reinforced belts above and below the blocks
- From rigidly connected reinforced concrete blocks
- From monolithic reinforced concrete
The choice of method is made depending on the properties of the soil.
The reinforced tape option is suitable for both subsidence and heavily heaving soils. In width, the tape is made with an excess of wall thickness by 10-20 cm. Laying depth - up to 60 cm.
Base - within 40 cm.
On heaving soils, a pillow made of non-freezing material is required.
Foundation construction
Stages of implementation of a strip reinforced foundation with a shallow depth.
- markup
- trench development.
If the soil does not crumble, the trenches are arranged in the width of the foundation. Their walls will act as formwork
- Backfilling of a 30 cm sand and gravel pad in layers, compacting each layer.
The thickness of each layer is 10 cm
- Laying waterproofing material on the bottom and walls of the trench
- Installation of formwork under the above-ground part of the foundation (basement)
- Reinforcement installation
- Pouring concrete
Foundation quality conditions
To build a quality foundation, the following conditions must be observed. 
- The correct proportions of the components in the concrete mix
- There should be no air bubbles (voids) in the concrete.
To achieve this, a vibrator is used or concrete is bayoneted with a metal bar.
- There should be no breaks when pouring
After pouring, until the concrete hardens, it needs care. It is necessary to close it from the sun, water it in hot weather. Insulate in frost.
A rolled waterproofing material is laid on top of the foundation.
The overlap of the strips must be at least 15 cm.
Wall masonry
Before starting the construction of walls, it is necessary to check the horizontalness of the foundation. The allowable height difference is 3 cm.
If necessary, level with cement mortar.
The upper plane of the blocks laid in the wall must be horizontal. That is, not only the faces that run along the wall should be horizontal, but also those that are across.
Horizontal control is carried out using a level. The position of the block is corrected if necessary with a rubber mallet.
First row
The laying of the first row must be done with particular accuracy - the accuracy of the construction of the whole house depends on this.
- Find the highest point of the foundation with a level.
The first block is laid in the corner closest to this point.
- Then blocks are installed in all other corners
- A mooring cord is stretched between the corner blocks along the outer edge of the wall.
It fills the first row
- If any irregularities in the masonry are formed, they are eliminated with a planer or sanding board. Dirt and dust are removed with a brush
Reinforcement
The reinforcement is laid on foam blocks after filling the first row, and then after laying every fourth row.
A smoothly curved rod is laid in the corners. 
- A grinder makes strobes 4x4 cm at a distance of at least 6 cm from the edge of the block
- The grooves are cleaned of dust, moistened with water
- Cement mortar is placed in the strobe at half the depth
- A rod moistened with water is laid
- The recess is completely filled with mortar.
A monolithic belt is made at the level of overlap.
It connects load-bearing walls along the entire perimeter and gives spatial rigidity to the entire structure.
For laying foam blocks can be used: 
- Cement-sand mortar
- Cement-sand mortar with the addition of lime
- Adhesive for wall blocks
The solution with lime does not set so quickly, has good plasticity.
Glue allows you to make thin seams.
It has a rather liquid consistency and does not seize for a long time.
block cutting
Usually a row cannot be laid using only whole blocks. We have to supplement it with cut ones.
You can cut blocks with a hand saw. The cutting line is applied with a pencil on two adjacent sides, so that the cut is accurate. The cut surface is leveled with a sanding board or planer. A smooth surface is essential for good adhesion between the mortar and the block.
load-bearing walls
After laying the first row, you must wait 1-2 hours until the mortar sets.
Then the laying of the wall continues.
- Corner blocks are laid, aligned
- The mooring is being pulled
- The row is filled with foam blocks
- Irregularities are eliminated with a planer or sanding board
The ligation of the sutures should be at least 10 cm.
The minimum length of the outer blocks (corner, opening) is 11.5 cm.
The internal load-bearing walls are connected to the external ones by ligation.
Partitions
- On the bearing wall, the junction of the partition is indicated
- At this point, flexible connections (anchors) made of stainless steel are inserted into the seam. One end - in the bearing wall, the other - in the seam of the partition
- Anchors are fixed with nails
Anchors are inserted into the load-bearing wall through a row.
It is allowed not to fix them with nails, but simply to press them into the solution.
Door and window openings
Jumpers for overlapping can be bought factory-made, can be made from home-made hollow foam blocks, having a cross-sectional view of P.
- Mark the places of cuts on the foam block
- Having cut the grooves, chop off the inside with a construction hammer
- Hollow blocks in the form of an inverted letter P are stacked over the opening on wooden supports.
It can be boards or bars. Supports can be nailed to the side walls of the opening
- Reinforcement 12-16 mm is laid inside the cavity, concrete is poured. Supports remain until the concrete hardens
You can lay the foam blocks over the opening and on the corners of the metal.
Roof
Wooden beams are usually used for the construction of ceilings in a house made of foam blocks.
The type of roof, its design and shape may be different. Its construction is not much different from this type of work in the construction of houses using other building materials.
Exterior finish
Although foam concrete, when exposed to moisture, is not impregnated to a great depth, however, the surface layer absorbs it quite well.
So if the walls are not covered with exterior trim, they darken and begin to collapse.
As an exterior finish for walls made of foam blocks, the following can be used:
- Hinged cladding installed with a gap (siding, decorative panels, house cladding with imitation timber)
- Decorative plaster
- Composite panels
- Natural and artificial stone
- Painting with silicone paints
The construction of a country house from foam blocks is relatively inexpensive, while construction takes place quickly.
If you have some building skills, it is quite possible to make such a house with your own hands.

When building a house in a summer cottage, everyone wants to build one that will be comfortable to live in.
But coziness and comfort depend on the internal layout of the house. First of all.
And the layout itself depends on the size of the building, on the number of people in the family, the presence of small children. It also depends on whether you plan to live in the country only in the summer, or want to come here all year round. There are some things to keep in mind when deciding how to plan a house.
Layout of a one-story country house
Even a small house should have at least three rooms:
The kitchen can be positioned so that the entrance to the house is through it.
In this case, the kitchen space will also serve as a vestibule, which retains cold air if you come to the dacha in winter.
During cooking, the air in the kitchen noticeably heats up, which is also good for heating the house. This option is much better than the construction of a tight vestibule.
If you want to make a canopy, then they can be made of glass. Using a profile, double-glazed windows and glass doors.
If you use the cottage year-round, you need to provide additional heating.
For example, you can plan a country house with a stove in the kitchen, the back wall of which opens into the next room.
This stove will heat two rooms at once. Well, in the bedroom you can install an electric heater. There are many economical modern models.
It should be noted that the house heats up much faster if good quality double-glazed windows are installed on the windows. It should be noted that the heat in the house does not depend on the size of the windows, but on how well they are glazed. The best option is high-quality plastic windows with several glasses.
If a country house made of glued laminated timber contains one room and a kitchen, then the living room is divided by a partition.
Behind the partition is a bed. This home is perfect for a family of two.
If the house has another room, albeit a small one, then it is quite possible to equip a nursery there.
And the cottage will already accommodate a family of four.
These tips are also suitable for those who already have a small garden country house. But many want to increase the number of rooms and are thinking about building a second floor.
Features of the construction of the second floor
Many people think that a great option to increase living space would be the arrangement of the second floor.
But you must first find out how strong the foundation under the house is. It is likely that he will not be able to support the extra weight. You need to know about this in advance, and not after cracks begin to appear in the walls and the house begins to collapse.
In addition, there are some other features. They must be taken into account before building the second floor.
If there is enough free space on the summer cottage, then it is always better to build a spacious one-story house.
It is cheaper, and it is more pleasant to live in a one-story house.
No need to climb stairs. This is especially important if there are elderly people in the house. After all, stairs in two-story cottages, as a rule, are steep. They are easier to build than flat ones. In addition, a two-story house is much more difficult to heat than a one-story house.
If the second floor is being built, there is no need to make concrete floors. It's easier to make them out of wood. The house will be warmer. The ladder is best raised from the kitchen if it is located immediately outside the front door.
Heat will not go to the second floor from the living room.
On the second floor, one or two bedrooms are usually made. Bedrooms are best made small so that they are easier to heat. After all, living in the country, a person enters the bedroom only to sleep.
But, it must be repeated that if the area of \u200b\u200bthe site allows, then it is better to build a more spacious one-story house instead of the second floor.
Terrace construction
Since people spend most of their time outdoors in the summer, a covered terrace should be attached to the house.
It can be placed on the side of the entrance, then the terrace will also play the role of a porch. It needs to provide a good roof that will protect from bad weather and the hot sun. It is necessary to provide for the fastening of mosquito nets.
Some tips were given on how to make a country house more comfortable.
10 steps to build a country house in a summer
If a person plans to build a cottage from scratch, then he can plan it the way his heart desires. But not everything is as simple as it might seem. Below are the most common mistakes that a person makes when considering which house to build in his summer cottage.
Of course, everyone's tastes are different, but still, we will talk about those things that help reduce construction costs and increase comfort.
Mistakes when planning a country house
too big house
No need to build a house too big.
Thick walls in the house
Too thick walls require a more powerful foundation, and, therefore, extra costs.
Modern technologies make it possible to build light houses, for example, frame houses, or from timber. A good insulation solves all the difficulties with heating, and the choice of high-quality material and qualified builders makes the house very durable.
Basement or basement construction
No need to unnecessarily make a large basement or basement.
These premises require high-quality waterproofing, insulation, ventilation and heating. For all this, you need to hire specialists. Additional costs for building materials are required. Very significant. Also, do not build too high a base. This also increases costs.
If it is planned to build a fireplace in the house, then you need to build it in the middle so that the heat from it disperses to neighboring rooms.
A fireplace built against an outer wall is completely irrational.
It seems that everything is very simple. But if you avoid these mistakes when planning a house, you can significantly save on building materials and construction time.

Choosing a garden house and its phased construction
because it has very large windows. But in it, even in cloudy weather, it is light and there is a feeling of greater unity with nature! The pediment of this house is unusually designed - it is decorated with two balusters.
And in this house a second light under the roof is solved. Since there are no windows on one side, a semblance of dormer windows is made under the very roof.
True, the photo shows that the owners use it as a workshop, but for newly minted summer residents, it could also serve as a shelter for the night and from the rain.
A small wooden house with a canopy across the entire width of the roof.
A good solution - here you have a patio terrace, the wall of the house will shelter from the wind, and the roof canopy will protect from rain and from the sun.
This little white house is just a fairy tale!
Graceful, romantic, with a pergola attached to it, he just calls to settle in it and not know grief! Still, white color gives sophistication to any building, even a very small one.

Ideas for small cozy country houses
We could stop there, but there are so many ideas for small houses that you always want to look for something and share your findings with you.
Let me remind you that in America and Canada there is a very common hobby for designing and creating houses on wheels of an unusual shape. These are real houses. I will continue to introduce you to interesting ideas for such houses. After all, if we exclude the wheels, then such houses will look great on our sites! Here is an overview video from the creators of this wonderful house.
There is no translation, but everything is clear.
My construction and life in the country
I would like to tell my story when we decided to live in the country and start everything from the very beginning. In general, it so happened that our apartments did not exist, and in recent years we lived in rented apartments. And so living within the walls of others and frequent travel brought us - I wanted my own, peace and stability. But the way we live is not rich and can't buy anything, you decide to buy Dacha (4sotki) and then another one, we left the pages very cheap.
These sites are the same, we prepared that they are forced to leave their homes all the bushes and trees, and yet they had the resources that I introduced sandstone and sand into the future of our home.
But after a few days we decided to give them a chance to win a house in the country, and then I brought a plate and two evenings (as the day worked), the house was almost ready. It looked like a trailer, but we were not aware of the beauty, more than the end of September and soon the cold and winter. Below is a photo of creating a timezone
Construction of a cottage in the country - the beginning
He built it twice - he wanted it faster, but it got dark early, so he took a battery and a lamp with him. So this house was looking for another night - it wasn't dark yet.
It worked like a screwdriver and a wire, the design was the simplest, so everything was done very quickly.
Cabin construction in the country
Then I brought foam and the house was insulated with 10 cm thick foam, and foamed with all the seams between the foam and all the slots.
He made the front door. And the interior, while there were bare slab walls. The next day he brought 200 pieces. red brick and two nights built brick. A photograph of the construction of the furnace has not been preserved.
Construction of holiday homes
The dimensions of the house are 6.3 * 3m.
interior space 6 * 2.7, a common living room of 16.2 square meters, which was supposed to include four adults (me, my mother and my two sisters) in the country, electricity, and this is what I thought about in advance. I made a wind generator, I installed a small battery and bought a 12/220 volt converter. The strength of such a power plant was very small, because the wind turbine was small and was the wrong dean, and very low. But one energy-saving light bulb is sometimes enough.
In general, the beginning was painful, but a week after the start of this construction, we moved on to this period. The transmission was on October 2, the same day as my sister's birthday.
In autumn, the forest was ready for the whole winter, and a porch was added to the house.
The house is insulated from the outside with a vapor barrier covered with foil and internal shiny insulation. As a result, in the first winter we learned.
Winter in the country
In the winter we were already at home with wind power for every 150 watts, electricity was enough for light and sometimes on TV, just as the wind was very weak and there was not enough battery power, but I kept everything for improvement, including the power plant.
I described everything about the plant in the section "My little adventures"
Therefore, winter lived in such Spartan conditions. My sister and I worked, paid in the spring, took a loan 3 years ago, and at the beginning of the summer a new loan appeared, which spent the money on small things and bought a Chinese engine (110ss) for executing a tree, I went to him on a trailer.
We bought a chain saw and two solar panels. up to 100 watts, so until March they bought new batteries for the power plant.
During the summer, the porch was covered with luminous insulation to keep it from overheating in the sun, and solar panels were installed on the wall.
Even the light on the street and in the house repeated the wiring.
Solar panels
During the summer, the wood was prepared for the whole year, and the motorcycle made 35 trips from nearby forest plantations.
So I bought corrugated board, wood, cement, and I put a new corrugated panel fence in the front.
wood collection
In parallel, I poured a concrete cushion under the base of our future home.
There was no bathing under the foundation, it just grew and leveled the surface and shed a 40 cm wide strip around the perimeter of the house.
How to build a house in Dachau: characteristics and phases of construction
The thickness of the concrete is 10-15 cm. Below the photo are parts of the concrete. This is how we lived in the fall, photo after the rain, there was a bit of a mess outside when I was looking for and spinning jars under the winter potatoes.
Life in the country
Life in the country
In addition, 11 meters were excavated in Dachau, I dug it myself, for almost a month I was in a hurry and poured concrete with concrete, but I finished it.
So, the tile broke through. He dug out a basement at the site of the future house, filled the basement with concrete, and then the roof made a hatch. Small details were made on details, but I will not list all the little things, only the important ones. I wrote about the break here - Well, with my job 2.
Fine
This year, at the beginning of spring, I took 7 cubes of plates, bought ruins and cement, and started with a basic overflow.
The lower part of the photo is the preparation of the irrigation panels. Last year, the center of the concrete base under the kiln was flooded.
Foundation formwork
After installing the panels of panels around the perimeter, he reinforced a 10 mm throw in two threads.
Then I invested in concrete and, in the end, turned out to be like this.
Foundation filling
The panel was attached to 6mm hex pins, and after ejection, it is easy to remove and remove the shell.
Foundation filling
Then build the wall frame. The dimensions of the house are 6.30 * 10.80 m. The skeleton put one, sometimes the truth helped the sister to give or save something. All this turned him into screws that pull themselves. bottom and top, then he used a homemade galvanized sheet metal plate.

Currently, at the moment, the money for further construction is over.
Now you need to make money with corrugated cardboard and place a frame around the roof.
Continuation - the second part of the frame
Ideal country houses using lightweight turnkey foundations can be available in as little as 2 weeks. The use of modern technologies and high-quality materials guarantees the construction of reliable buildings.
The most reliable structures are formed that are not endangered due to the redistribution of weight. It is possible to create any architectural forms through the use of frame technologies.
Why our cottages are the best
Such houses are ideal for suburban construction due to fire resistance. Fireproof materials are used to ensure the safety of surfaces in contact with an open flame. The floors used in the construction of objects are characterized by high fire resistance.
The advantage of a country house in absolute environmental safety. Dry pine boards, basalt insulation, with a density of at least 31 kg / m3 in the “Lux” configuration and softwood plywood used by Doma MSK, make it possible to achieve comfort for residents.
Additionally, you can order a frame made of chamber drying boards. The technological films used in the construction of houses protect the insulation from moisture and wind. The use during construction of materials characterized by the release of increased emission of phenol formaldehydes is categorically excluded.
The ideal selection of materials contributes to the creation of objects with optimal energy efficiency. The required level of thermal insulation is guaranteed, which makes frame cottages in demand among summer residents. We will help you choose the layout, we will make an economical installation of the heating system. All this results in energy savings.
What we offer to clients
The projects offered by the company contribute to the creation of an ideal frame housing. You can choose a house in different configurations: economy; standard; lux. There are options for the construction of objects without interior decoration, you decide what the walls will be like in your country house. We carry out construction in accordance with the technology:
- Laying the strapping on the foundation;
- Sawing logs laid on the edge;
- Subfloor laying;
- Exposing the frame in the form of vertical racks in increments of up to 1 m;
- Installation of the truss system, which serves as the base of the roof.
Such frame cottages are insulated with mineral or stone wool, and the use of the latter makes it possible to make the dwelling three times warmer. Construction continues with fastening to the insulated frame of the vapor barrier from the inside and outside.
We do not use outdated technologies, and all activities are carried out taking into account innovative solutions. Before you call us, determine what kind of building you want to see in your summer cottage.
For our part, we will help you decide on the technology, ensure construction in the shortest possible time and with the highest quality. Our specialist is on call.
Frame houses for summer cottages are gaining more and more worldwide popularity.
They are built very quickly, while they can be placed anywhere on the site using a light one.
A garden house can be the first building on the territory, to which you can then add a bathhouse, guest housing, etc.
A properly built house will be cozy and beautiful.
In appearance, this is a small building, inside which a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom can be located.
If the house is additionally insulated, then you can live in it all year round (heating must be taken into account).
It is very important that the country house is as comfortable as possible for each member of the family, which is why during construction it is necessary to think through all the moments of its arrangement.
The best material for a building is.
Do-it-yourself frame houses for summer cottages are built very simply.
The first thing to decide is the place on the site and the size of the house, the creation of a project and the planning of actions.
The foundation is the basis of any building, so the construction always begins with its erection.
It must be remembered that the frame house is very light, which means that a solid, expensive base does not need to be poured under it.
In most cases, columnar is used.
After the territory has been marked out and measured, the construction of the foundation can begin. The shape of the columns is not important.
A strip foundation can be the basis, but its construction will require more resources and time. Along the entire perimeter of the territory, you will need to dig a trench, waterproof it, set up reinforcement, create formwork and pour concrete. And then it will take about a month for the structure to harden and dry completely. However, many developers still choose a strip foundation, due to the fact that it allows you to equip.
Attention! If the ground at the construction site is not stable (slopes, landslide zone, swamp, etc.), then a strong cushion must be created at the base of the pillars. It is arranged from compacted sand and a small layer of concrete mixture. If necessary (for example, when building a 2-storey building), you can strengthen the foundation with metal bars.
For a conventional structure, a diameter of 300-400 millimeters of pillars is enough. They are driven into the ground, or installed on a solid base on the surface. The posts are mounted at the corners, then at a distance of 2 to 3 meters.
Primary subfloor
After the construction of the foundation, you can proceed to laying out the rough base of the floor. First, beams are mounted along the perimeter of all pillars, then transverse beams are set on opposite parts. As a result, it should turn out, on which the primary floor and the house itself lie. The material can be any:
- Metal
- Tree
- Reinforced concrete, etc.
The choice depends on the budget. It is important to correctly and tightly dock the plane of the pillars.
Frame, ceiling and walls
Walls are made of metal or wood.
Usually the choice depends on the availability of material and the budget of the building.
For an ordinary 1-storey house, wooden beams (100 mm section) are enough.
Metal racks are stronger (section 50mm), they are able to withstand a large load, remove weight from the foundation.
Racks are set in the corners, then the distance varies from two to three meters. The crossbars must be of the same material with the same section. They are installed in a checkerboard pattern, at a distance of 1.5 (one above the other).
The openings between the windows are trimmed with crossbars on both sides (top and bottom). In the case of doors, only the top fasteners are enough. The dimensions between the structures should fit the dimensions of future windows and doors.
- The ceiling frame is mounted simultaneously with the wall structure. It is assembled in the same way as the sexual one, with only one difference - concrete lintels are not needed.
If a two-story house is planned, then you need to decide on the passage point to the 2nd level at this step. The entrance must be trimmed with beams.
Roof frame
It is important that the roof frame is light yet strong. The best option would be to use wooden materials. The simplest design is a shed roof. However, if a living room is planned in the attic, then a gable structure will be needed. The height of the roof ridge will depend on the desired dimensions.
It is noteworthy that the installation of a roof frame requires more strength and skill than when installing walls.
First you need to build in racks at the ends of the house, put spacers at the angle of the roof slope.
Then to this design.
A beam is mounted along the entire length of the building, which will be the outer half of the frame. She serves as the skate of the house. Next, you need to create roof slopes on all sides.
Boards cling to the ridge and to the outer perimeter of the ceiling structure. Opening from 0.5 to 1 meter. Pitched boards cling in a checkerboard style with the help of transverse. On this you can finish with the creation of the frame of the building.
Rough frame trim
- On the outside, the skin usually consists of moisture-repellent compressed. Sheets are attached to the base in a checkerboard pattern. On plywood joints, additional crossbars must be installed. Docking of sheets occurs at the same level with the racks.
- The interior of the structure is usually sheathed with boards or plywood sheets. The installation process is the same as on the outside. Between the skins you need to create an insulating layer.
- The floor frame is surrounded by a draft board. Installation is carried out perpendicularly, transversely in the direction.
- It is very important that all materials used are processed from deformation, rotting and other damage.
- The ceiling frame is sheathed in the same way as the wall frame. From the bottom side, you can immediately mount the front trim.
Roof material
The material for the roof is selected before the arrangement of the frame.
The fact is that the fitting of the rafters and the transverse part in the roofing part is performed under the selected one.
Typically, manufacturers indicate the characteristics and requirements of the product to the frame.
For convenience, when buying material, you can purchase an installation diagram.
In the inner part, the roofing material must be insulated with a roll insulation.
The next stage is the installation of the window system and doors. Frame houses for summer cottages can be inexpensively built independently without much effort
Front paneling of the house
Different materials can be used in the role of external and internal cladding. You need to focus on personal preferences and the construction budget. The main thing is that the selected materials are resistant to external influences.
The process of building a frame house is simple. You can greatly facilitate the work with the help of a pre-drawn drawing of the future. It is recommended to purchase documentation along with materials for construction, which indicates the parameters and installation rules.
