It is economical and very easy to make canopies from a metal profile or a pipe with your own hands. In this case, a profile tube is used for the device of the support frame, a canopy and a wall of the structure are made of the metal profile. Metal canopy used in various types: galvanized, copper, aluminum, ferrous metal.

The design scheme of a canopy is usually not difficult. It is made by everyone with their own hands, even if you are very far from construction. It consists of vertical posts on which metal beams or trusses of a pipe are attached. By him wooden crate is madeon which the roof from a professional flooring keeps within.

Canopies are widely used to cover the area of ​​a private courtyard, as well as in commercial farms. They are used to shelter car parks, stopping complexes, canopies over entrances, transition galleries, summer and winter farm buildings.

Various canopy designs

Depending on the needs, they build various canopies of the shaped pipe with their own hands. Photos of sheds can be viewed in Internet catalogs, namely:

• mini constructions are small gazebos, visors, shelters for barbecues;
• separately standing metal canopies from a pipe;
• Attached structures of canopies of corrugated flooring - verandas, terraces, canopies on the wall of the house, household shelters.

Depending on the functional features build:

• separate open canopies of corrugated, located on racks and having one roof;
• buildings of closed type, with weather protection not only from above, but closed from the side of the walls, one or several sides

On the roof of the garage, gazebos, summer kitchen, open balcony and terrace arrange open types of canopies of metal profiles with their own hands. Drawings for such simple buildings are made by themselves or ordered from specialized design organizations. Such inexpensive and simple solutions allow you to comfortably organize a place to rest, work, store or receive a small company.

Closed types of sheds are made of various materials. For walls use glass, plastic, plywood, profile metal, galvanized, glass, decking, siding and other materials. For glazed closed sheds use aluminum sliding systemswhich are durable and transparent for review. Enclosed buildings provide weather protection from all sides and allow you to be under a canopy for a long time.

The crate is made of wooden beams or metal profile, angle, square or channel. The connection of metal parts is made by a welded seam using overlaid metal kerchiefs. Sometimes the parts are bolted with nuts.

Racks are recommended to be placed at a distance of no more than 1.2 m one from another. In the case of a junction of the post frame to the wall of the building, a number of support pillars are also placed near it. If it is not possible to install vertical pillars near the wall, then a carrier beam is attached to the wall, which will take over the load from the floor. For fixing the beam to the wall use long anchorswhich will securely hold the beam along with the roof covering.

Device farms

This structural element is subjected to the main load of snow and wind, so it is imperative to correctly calculate the required profile metal. For small canopies, you can take the standard characteristics of the rolled products. If we talk about complex structures of canopies, the choice of the material of the farm and its design must be determined by complex calculation, which you cannot do on your own, of course, if the owner is, of course, not a design engineer. Therefore, for this there are specialists.

The farms, depending on the form, are divided into triangular, rectangular, trapezoid, broken and arched. Inside the farm can be installed additional racks, girders, braces and struts. The support of the trusses can be carried out on two supports, clamped at one end or have a combined method of supporting the supports.

Farm make so that the slope of the roof was 15-20º. Such sloping is suitable for any roof covering made of corrugated, plastic, polycarbonate, roofing felt, slate metal tiles and other materials. Sheets of profile flooring, slate and tiles are placed so that the waves are parallel to the water flow, but in no case perpendicular.

The pits under the pillars are made 70 cm deep, a layer of rubble and sand is poured at the bottom and poured with water for the greatest shrinkage. Concrete pits after installing the pillar and fixing it in the design position. Concrete is made in concrete mixers with a large amount of work or kneaded by hand. Fill the entire cell at once, you can not leave half of the drenched pit the next day.

On the next day, the concrete gains half the strength, the remaining 50% of concrete will pick up within 27 days. If a solid foundation is made for laying the floor, then before pouring concrete install welded or associated reinforcement cagewhich is then poured with concrete.

Further work to strengthen the strapping on the top layer of racks can be performed in a week. The pillars of metal profiles are trimmed with a grinder to the design size, then reinforced with transverse profiles.

Welding of farms

Welding farms perform on the ground all structures must be welded exactly the size and the same. If large and powerful trusses are provided, and the use of a crane is not envisaged in construction, they are divided into component parts, which are assembled with their own hands, and then welded at height.

The alternation of farms on the wall is taken by calculation. If we are talking about small canopies, then we take a standard distance from one to another, equal to one meter. After installing the truss in the installation position to the upper rafters weld crate from a square profile or corner.

If there is a wooden crate, it is attached to the metal truss with bolts. The pitch of the batten is taken depending on the roofing material, sometimes an additional continuous plywood coating is installed on the batten.

In the manufacture of farms, their size should be 30–50 cm larger than the canopy. This is necessary so that the water gets as little as possible on the foundations and does not lead to their destruction. Another, more reliable option is the device for removal of sewage from the roof of the shed using galvanized troughs or modern plastic systems.

The device of a metal profile canopy does not require special construction skills, therefore the assembly and installation with its own hands will suit those owners who want to learn how to do something in their home on their own. This will save money to pay for the work of specialists and allow you to be proud of the product of your hands.
