At each dacha, first, facilities for economic purposes are built. A barn, toilet and shower are essential in the countryside.

In Russia, the construction of cottages began to develop in the late eighties of the twentieth century. And at this time, boxes appeared on sale that could be brought to the country in a ready-made state or assembled on a summer cottage by themselves in a few days and just as easily dismantled.

Hosblocks made of the following building materials:

  1. Wood.
  2. Plastic.
  3. Metal.

The most popular are sheds and wooden toilets   for various reasons, namely:

  1. The cost of such household units is quite low.
  2. Wood is preferred because of its naturalness; There is an instruction for assembling hosblocks for such material (although it is attached to a prefabricated shed of any material).

But here it is important to pay attention to the purchase, as there is a chance to get a cheap, but raw, freshly sawn, impregnated forest. Then the walls of the shed will begin to deteriorate.

Country buildings made of plastic appeared relatively recently. They do not have the drawbacks that other buildings have: they are not damaged by insects; they are not susceptible to rust, do not crack due to temperature changes or moisture getting on them, they do not need to be painted, they do not burn.

Metal shed can be assembled quite quickly, but to ensure its long-term operation, the thickness of the metal sheet should be equal to two to three millimeters or more. Such buildings of the hosblock are made of simple steel, which rusts over time, so it should be painted every year.

If for some reason it is impossible to build a country shed with your own hands, you can buy a ready-made transport container and re-equip it yourself or call a specialist.

DIY cottage construction

Ready hozblok is typical and can be seen at every second cottage. If you still want the hozblok on your site to be different from the neighbors, then you can build it yourself, with all your imagination.

The correct choice of location for the construction of the hozblok in the country is of great importance. If it was decided to build a hozblok, which includes shower, toilet and barn, then it is best to build it on an elevation, as moisture accumulates in the lowland, which is bad for a drain pit.

Currently, there is a regulatory document SNiP 30.02.97, which says that buildings for household needs, containing sewer septic tanks and drain pits, should be located at a distance of eight meters or more from the home and at a distance of one meter or more from the neighbors' summer cottage .

The information from this regulatory document is better to take into account, because if there is a need to sell a cottage, then an incorrectly constructed economic unit can prevent this.

For a summer shower, you need a tank installed on its roof, in which water will be heated by the sun. That is, the shower should be located where there is a lot of sunshine.

Foundation preparation

For the strength and stability of the hozblok, you first need to build a foundation. For wood sheds or those that are collapsible column foundation suitable. If the construction will be made of brick, then a tape-column foundation is needed.

The process of filling the pillars is very simple. For poles, you need to take a garden drill and dig round holes located in the corners and in those places where the load of the barn will be maximum, the depth of these holes should be approximately one meter twenty centimeters. If there are financial opportunities, then pipes from asbestos cement can be used.

But it is cheaper and faster to independently make a pipe from roofing material with a hole diameter. Then at the bottom you should make a pillow of sand and gravel from one hundred to one hundred and fifty millimeters, and install a pipe, and inside it a frame of reinforcement. First, concrete is poured into one third and the pipe is pulled out one hundred millimeters. After two hours you can add the rest of the concrete.

The tape-column foundation is poured harder. It is necessary to fill the pillars, and between them it is necessary to dig a trench fifty centimeters deep. It should be fifty millimeters wider than the wall of the barn. Next, formwork is done, reinforcement is laid and concreted.

Creating a drain

Since the hozblok will contain a shower, toilet and shed, you need a drain tank. It is best to dig a septic tank made of plastic near the shed. But most often they make an ordinary drain pit.

You can choose the dimensions of the toilet pit yourself, but at least three to four meters. Usually this is a toilet hole in the form of a square or rectangle one and a half meters deep, one edge going under the barn (there will be a toilet). A strip foundation is made along the perimeter of its bottom, and inside there will be a pillow of gravel one hundred to one hundred and fifty millimeters thick.

The walls of the pit are made of bricks   staggered to absorb liquid into the soil. A stove with a hatch for pumping water is installed on top.

Hozblok on a wooden frame

For such a lightweight structure, a wood frame is the best choice. It can be covered with any sheet material   for facing. A bituminous and ruberoid layer is laid on the foundation piles, then a crown is mounted.

Since this economic unit is not very large, the crown may be one hundred and fifty by one hundred and fifty millimeters from a square beam. For support racks, a bar with a section of one hundred to one hundred millimeters is suitable. Roof rails are made of timber from one hundred to one hundred and fifty millimeters. All this is connected and fixed with pins.

The roof for such a barn better to do single-handedto install a shower tank on it. Therefore, it is necessary to do front racks twenty to thirty centimeters above the racks on the back.

You can make an entrance to each section of the hozblok separately. But to save money, you can divide the barn into sections (large for the barn itself, smaller for the toilet and shower) and make one entrance.

Block constructions

To make brick structures, specialists are needed, so foam concrete or cinder blocks should be used. Of these, it is easier to erect a structure and it will be lighter in weight and will not require a powerful foundation.

And it is better not to use aerated concrete, since waterproofing the room will be required.

Slag stone shed   will cost less than foam. But foam concrete is easy to lay on special glue. Masonry is done with a shift equal to half the block for strong adhesion. It is necessary to start from any angle, and it is better to carry out the work in three stages, so that the masonry does not flow and sets slowly.

Building skills are of great importance. If you know how to work with wood, then you do not need to build a shed from cinder blocks and vice versa.

Today, almost everything suburban areas   have a building called a hozblok, so it’s important to know how to build it in the country with your own hands step by step from the photo. We are offering to you step by step instructions   building an economic block with a shower, toilet or without amenities.
