How to make an arch from a canopy profile. Metal profile canopies

Metal profile canopies, like any other material, can look impressive if you carry out careful work on the project.

For many, with the phrase "corrugated canopies", images of not the most attractive designs appear in their imaginations. In fact, such awnings can be very pretty - for example, as in the photo, which was published the very first in this article.

Corrugated board

When they talk about a metal profile as a roofing material, they mean exactly a profiled sheet, or a corrugated board, as it is called "by the people". The fact is that the very concept of a metal profile includes a variety of products from metal alloys: these are sheets, pipes, and much more. But only sheets made in the appropriate profile are used as roofing (for example, metal tiles can also be classified as profiled metal).

The covering of the profiled sheet can be:

Polymeric (it can be of any color);
Galvanized (silver colored).

These two types of coating differ slightly in their general characteristics from each other, so the choice of this or that option will depend, rather, on your design preferences and the general perception of your object (in this case, the canopy). However, there is a point of view that polymer-coated corrugated board serves 2-3 times longer than galvanized one.

Market Review

You can buy corrugated board at a price of 142 rubles for 1 square meter... The number of colors and profiles offered allows you to express your architectural idea.

Variants of profiles of corrugated board allow you to choose interesting solution for your canopy. And not only for him.

Often, in pursuit of profit, we instead quality material we get a defective one. To prevent this from happening, be sure to check all the material upon acceptance. There should be no sheets with coating defects and sheet deformations.

Cheap corrugated board

However, if you really need the cheapest corrugated board (for example, for a temporary shed or fence), we recommend that you purchase exactly defective material with the following defects:

Damaged coating.
Jagged cut lines.
Any deformation of the sheet web.
Wrong sheet dimensions.

Defective corrugated sheets are an excellent solution for temporary sheds and fences.

The more and more serious the disadvantages of defective corrugated board, the more it will be sold at a greater discount.

How to save money on the purchase of any corrugated board:

Buy products from the manufacturer without intermediaries.
You can search for suppliers who have promotions and sales.
Arrange pickup if you or someone you know has a truck.

Pros and cons

Definitely, the advantages of a profiled sheet include:

Availability
Light weight
Convenient transportation
Fast and affordable installation
Ability to withstand the pressure of a snow cap
Moisture proof
Corrosion resistant
Does not fade in the sun
Withstands wind loads
Fire resistance
Wide range of colors
Durability

Profiled sheet metal is an excellent, affordable material for a canopy or fencing.

The disadvantages of this material include:

Rain noise (metal is metal)
Heating in the sun
Incorrect installation and delivery will shorten the life of the product

Types of awnings

Profiled sheeting can be used both as a roof for the roof of your house, and for any type of canopy, for example:

Carport.
Visor over the entrance.
Barbecue canopy.
Household shed (for example, to protect firewood or equipment from the rain).
Temporary canopy for protection building material from the rain.

You can order any of these awnings from construction company or make it yourself.

The option of an elongated visor: there will be enough space on the site for parking a compact car or for the location of households and guests for tea in nature.

How to make a canopy with your own hands

If you organize the entire workflow correctly, you can make a canopy from corrugated board in just a couple of days. Therefore, to begin with:

Clear the area where you will have a canopy of foreign objects.
Make markings for the supporting structure posts.

The material - corrugated board and supporting structure (wood, metal, etc.) - should already be ready.

The foundation is poured and the racks are installed at the same time.
After the cement hardens and the support posts are fixed, you can proceed with the installation of the canopy itself.

Fastening of transverse and longitudinal beams (or trusses).
Sheathing device (if required).
Rigid fastening of corrugated sheets.

In this video, our compatriot tells how he made a semicircular canopy of metal frame and corrugated board for his site. What pipes he used and what exactly did he do - you will find out when watching.

DIY metal frame

Now on sale you can find many different elements, from which you can independently assemble a metal frame. Even if you don't have a welding machine, you can use the "good old" fastening with rivets or screws. True, not in all cases they can replace welding.

Conclusion

If you are not interested in profiled metal sheet as a roof covering for awnings, we recommend that you look

Is your car still freezing in the cold of the dog, rusting and covered with a crust of ice when the frost sets in? Then we go to you! Now we will look at how to make a metal canopy for your car and protect it from the effects of precipitation, ultraviolet radiation, branches and everything that can only fall from the sky.

Is it expensive? The materials will take only a couple of thousand rubles, but as a result you get a neat canopy on a metal frame that will last for decades and, if necessary, can be easily dismantled and carried around the yard. We bring to your attention step by step instructions, using which you can independently build a canopy quickly and quite successfully, even if you do not have special construction skills.

Preparatory work for the installation of a lean-to metal canopy

We could also consider gable structures, but the purpose of this particular article is to make an extremely practical, simple and cheap canopy with a metal frame, so we chose a gable structure. To make it 2 times faster, since there is no need for bent trusses, the joining of the roofing material in the center and the materials will go 30% less. Let's consider the entire instruction step by step and start with preparatory work.

STEP 1 : choose a place for lean-to canopy ... You can build wherever there is space, but it is better to choose a small hill in the yard and a place with a shallow bed of clay, so that water after rain does not accumulate under a canopy, and you can spend a minimum of money on installing concrete under the supports. Feng Shui lovers are not welcome here, since the main thing here is practicality.

STEP 2: selection of materials. We have already chosen it. Our supports will be made of a metal square 40x40 mm, we selected it taking into account the load of the structure and the possible wind load of 4%, we also did not forget the precipitation for the harsh climatic zone. The supports are designed for a metal canopy with a slope of 15-20% and dimensions of 4x4 meters. The roof can be made of polycarbonate, but we preferred metal sheeting as it is inexpensive and easy to work with.

STEP 3: clearing the area . We will use a concrete floor for the car, so the area needs to be planned and about 10 cm of soil removed for slagging and installing a screed at least 5 cm thick. This is a lot, quite enough for a weighty SUV (within reason, up to 2500 kg). If you want to buy a hummer or a tractor in the future, then your screed depth will be at least 12 centimeters.

STEP 4: counting communications . Yes, you didn't hear, there will be more communications around the canopy. What for? It's simple. Firstly, the water will not wash it away, it will not flow under the canopy, and secondly, it just looks cool and is inexpensive. These will be ebb tides in the ground and drainage systems. In addition, it is necessary to supply electricity to the shed, just in case of fire (suddenly there will be no place to fry a barbecue or it is necessary to warm up the car) and draw wire conclusions from under the screed or along the supports in the future.

Metal carports can be different sizes, you can make it just for the car, or you can create a parking lot for 3-4 spaces (suddenly the mother-in-law comes to visit or former classmates), it is better to think it over in advance, since the expansion will be problematic. At the very least, the foundation and supports must be poured immediately to the size of the canopy you have chosen and the manufacturing should begin after the calculations. Look like that's it. Now we have prepared the site, morally gathered and accepted for courage - we can go to build.

We install metal posts for a canopy and crate

Making the frame is the hardest thing, since installing the roof and decorating is already easier than ever and even a child can handle it. But the frame must be done carefully, not be lazy to use the level and more often check the correctness of the work. If you install the supports or the screed unevenly, then it will be possible to fix it, of course, but it will take a lot of time and effort, because it is almost all to completely redo. Consider how to concoct a metal canopy with your own hands in accordance with GOST in detailed instructions.

STEP 1: install supports . There are about a dozen different methods installation of supports, but we will not bother our heads with lower straps, we will simply make a 40-50 centimeters deepening in the ground with a drill or a shovel, place a metal profile in the center and fill it with concrete - the support is ready. Here it is important to install the supports vertically, measure everything with a level so that they are in the same plane. We make a concrete solution 1: 3.

STEP 2: top harness. But at the top it is necessary to tie the supports, since their height will be 270 centimeters above the ground and 240 cm, respectively, on the other side, where the slope will be (we have chosen just such a height), they may deviate slightly. Therefore, at the top along the perimeter, it is necessary to weld a metal profiled pipe, the length of which will be equal to the length of one side (we took the size of the canopy as 4x4 meters for the template).

STEP 3: lathing. Since metal sheds with a pitched roof do not require bent elements and joints in the middle, making the crate is as easy as shelling pears. It is necessary to weld a metal pipe every 60 centimeters between the sides of the canopy with a height of 270 and 240 cm in order to form a slope. We will get about a 20% slope, even a little less - this is quite enough to metal carcass the canopy coped well with any amount of rainfall.

Now all that remains is to screw on the roofing material. The frame will cost only 3500 rubles, you can still save money by installing jumpers every 80 centimeters, instead of 60 cm, as we did, but it is better to have a margin of safety, the structure can be lightened only if the carport is in cozy place yard and not exposed to strong winds.

Choosing and attaching a roof to a metal carport

As we said earlier, you can lighten the structure and attach polycarbonate to the roof, but this will not be very rational from the point of view of economy. It is best to make a single-pitched metal canopy from corrugated board. In addition, it does not need to be bent, leveled, tricky washers put in and it is not scary to overtighten it a little. Installing it is easier than a steamed turnip, consider the step-by-step instructions:

STEP 1: drilling holes . It is necessary to lift the metal sheet and make holes in it at the level of the metal beam that connects the sides of the canopy. This can be done simply: put the sheet on the beam, mark from below with a marker where you need to make holes, remove and drill them. Holes every 35 centimeters.

STEP 2: reaming a metal carport . The holes can be made both in advance in the marked places, and when the sheet is already applied to the frame and a jumper is drilled through the hole on the corrugated board. It is necessary to use special screws with sealing caps so that the screwing points do not rust. You can use plastic washers for work, it is convenient and cheap.

STEP 3: processing with protective materials. It is better to use deep impregnations for metal and varnishes so that our work will stand for many years. When using varnish, metal canopies for summer cottages last at least 2 times longer, since even high acidity of precipitation does not cause corrosive processes.

We examined how to make a metal canopy without the help of a specialized team, but we also suggest watching a video on how to properly screw the corrugated board to the metal frame in order to avoid mistakes:

On the household plots you can often see awnings of a wide variety of designs, built from various building materials. They are used for household needs, as a parking lot, gazebos for rest and relaxation, etc. A popular material for the construction of awnings is a metal profile.

Many homeowners prefer to equip a gable or single-slope canopy from a metal profile with their own hands, since such work requires minimal knowledge of construction skills.

The advantages of this material include:

Strength and reliability are the main advantages of rolled metal products. The wall thickness of the profiled pipes for the frame is ¾ of a millimeter, and of the corrugated flooring sheets - 0.5 - 0.8 millimeters. This is enough to build a one- or two-slope canopy that is resistant to many loads and influences.
The corrugated surface and the presence of a polymer layer make the construction of it attractive and durable, not requiring painting.
The structure has high levels of wear resistance.
Rolled metal refers to environmentally friendly products, it does not emit harmful substances and does not exude unpleasant odors.
Fast erection of a canopy.

Despite all the advantages of buildings made of metal profiles, their construction requires drawing up a metal canopy project and carrying out accurate calculations, which significantly affect the final result of the work and the durability of the erected structure.

When erecting canopies that have a polygonal, rounded or non-standard shape, the main problem is fitting the pipes according to the dimensions or the need to bend them at a certain angle. This requires special tools.

Before starting construction, you need to design metal
awnings. In the course of this work, the dimensions of the future building are determined in accordance with its purpose, location on the site, the shape of the structure, and the type of roof.

Also take into account the financial capabilities of property owners. After that, they proceed to the next stage - drawing up drawings of canopies from a metal profile.

Necessary materials

To erect a building, you need to prepare:

for roofing - profiled sheets;
for supports - shaped pipes having a cross section of 60 × 60, 80 × 80 or 100 × 100 millimeters, taking into account the dimensions of the canopy;
for strapping and building a roof frame - shaped pipes with sides of 60 × 40 or 60 × 60 millimeters;
for roof lathing - elements with a section of 20 × 20 or 40 × 20 millimeters;
fasteners are self-tapping galvanized screws in accordance with the color of the profiled sheets, press washers and anchor bolts;
for fixing the supports - concrete solution;
for styling flooring- cement mixture or tiles (you can use concrete, ceramic products).

Construction of canopies from a metal profile according to drawings

When carrying out construction work on their own, they are guided by the schemes of canopies from a metal profile.

First of all, they are preparing for the installation of the frame in the place chosen for its arrangement:

the site is cleared of vegetation, debris, unnecessary items;
then it is leveled and marked for the future structure.

They begin to install the pillars, which will become the supports for the construction, for which they use the drawing of the farm for the shed. They are placed around the entire perimeter of the frame, keeping a distance equal to about one meter. Pits are dug under the pipes of the required section, the depth of which directly depends on the type of soil and the level of its freezing in frosts. The supports are placed in pits and poured with concrete. Their position must be controlled by the building level.
Next, you need to mount the strapping lags. To do this, by welding, they are attached to the support posts. When building a small structure, bolted fasteners can be used. Then it will be easier to carry out the installation, and in addition, the cost of work will decrease.
Then they proceed to the installation of the supporting arch, the design of which is capable of further strengthening the strength of the canopy and at the same time giving it an attractive appearance. Arches can be made not one, but several. They will be supported by girders and racks.
After the main frame has been prepared, they proceed to the construction of the roof sheathing - the basis for the installation of corrugated board. For this purpose, profile pipes are used that have a length that exceeds the distance between the last and the first arch by 20-30 centimeters, that is, the roof should in any case protrude beyond the frame. Thereby inner space under a canopy will be more protected from precipitation.

Types of canopies with a metal profile coating are not only arched. They are made both simple rectangular, and with one- or gable roof... For a car, a building with a roof of a simple structure will be sufficient, using, for example, a drawing of a lean-to shed. For households, a gable structure is usually mounted.

Laying corrugated board with your own hands

The profiled sheets must be fixed to the transverse pipes of the sheathing using self-tapping screws with special rubber gaskets, so that the metal will be protected from possible damage.

In places where there are cut-off areas, the flooring is treated with a primer and covered with moisture-resistant paint. All these measures will protect the sheets from corrosive processes. Fasteners can always be matched to the color of the roofing.

All the elements from which the frame is assembled and which are intended for supports, strapping, rafters, battens, as well as the welding points and the location of the fasteners, are covered with an anti-corrosion primer, and then with weather-resistant paint.

Manufacturers of metal profiles in their instructions warn that the sheets of this roofing should be laid exclusively with an overlap. They should be recorded exclusively along the upper crests of the waves.

Thus, in order for a home craftsman to build the simplest and most inexpensive building, do-it-yourself drawings of a lean-to canopy from a metal profile, but special skills and the help of specialists are unlikely to be needed.

Often, in pursuit of profit, we buy defective material instead of high-quality material. To prevent this from happening, be sure to check all the material upon acceptance. There should be no sheets with coating defects and sheet deformations.

High-quality corrugated board meets standard sizes, has smooth cut lines without bends and a perfectly smooth coating: galvanized or polymer. The panels themselves do not have any deformations.

Cheap corrugated board

However, if you really need the cheapest corrugated board (for example, for a temporary shed or fence), we recommend that you purchase exactly defective material with the following defects:

Damaged coating.
Jagged cut lines.
Any deformation of the sheet web.
Wrong sheet dimensions.

Defective corrugated sheets are an excellent solution for temporary sheds and fences.

The more and more serious the disadvantages of defective corrugated board, the more it will be sold at a greater discount.

How to make a high-quality canopy from a metal profile with your own hands and inexpensively

Preparatory land works and selection of materials

In order for the construction process to be successful and then nothing had to be redone, it is necessary to immediately take into account all the nuances. This applies to both the selection of the right materials, cleaning the area, and engineering work to calculate the ultimate load. Let's consider the sequence of actions.

If you have several options where you can build a future structure, then it is better to give preference to a place with a shallow occurrence of clay in order to save on concrete. You should also take into account the slope angle of the earth so that your structure does not end up in the place where water is collected from the entire site - this will give you a lot of inconvenience, no matter what you built it for. It is best to choose a hill or a relatively flat area with the possibility of water drainage.

It is immediately necessary to calculate the cost of the future structure. If you use a galvanized metal profile for the roof or painted by means of powder spraying, then a solid cost will come out. If you just buy metal and treat it with anti-corrosion protection, you can save up to 30%. The size of the metal square for the racks must be calculated taking into account the load of precipitation per 1 m 2 in your territory + the coefficient of wind exposure (somewhere 3.4% for a temperate climatic zone). With a size of 4x4 meters and a slope of no more than 45 0, a metal square with a size of 40x40 millimeters will be enough... The greater the distance between the supports, the greater their thickness should be.

Before you build a canopy from corrugated board with your own hands, you need to think over its subsequent operation. The first step is to make ebb tides in the ground, calculate their location and other details. In some areas, it is necessary to take into account the availability of the power grid, water supply, gasification (depending on the purpose for which this structure is being built).

Now that we already have a "general development plan" in our hands, we can proceed directly to construction. It is better to check everything at once, since any alteration will cost you a lot or take a lot of time.

We install supports and crate

The manufacture of the supporting structure is the most important process, since the durability of the structure directly depends on the correct execution of all actions. An incorrectly assembled frame can simply fall under a solid load in winter time or be unkempt. To prevent this from happening, everything must be done gradually, taking into account all possible situations during operation.

The first step is to drill holes with a diameter of 30 centimeters in the ground - they will be intended for the subsequent concreting of metal supports. Next, we insert a support into them, only carefully so as not to pour a lot of earth on the sole of the pit - the concrete can then sag. After you pour 50% of the solution into the pit, you need to take a plumb line, measure everything and adjust the stand left / right... Carry out the exact same operation with the three remaining supports, and then level them in height.

It can be done at the very top - this is the traditional method of construction, or you can try out extraordinary ways to strengthen the structure. For example, using inverter welding to weld the strapping crosswise (the top of one support and the bottom of the other are connected), with a grid, or even make a double one - at the top and bottom.

Do-it-yourself canopies made of corrugated board will cost about 7,000 rubles if you buy metal at the average market price. The installation process will take no more than 1 day, and only 1 worker can complete it (you need to be able to use a little welding machine and basic grinding skills).

Preparing the roof

This is the most important process, since the build quality depends on appearance the entire structure. We will attach it to a bolted connection - it is much easier this way. To prevent the roof from leaking, as well as corrosion of the bolts and metal profiled sheet, it is better to use plastic or rubber washers, which are put directly on the cap and can protect the hole from moisture ingress in winter. Let's take a closer look at the step-by-step instructions for installing the roof.

This can be done using a conventional electric drill and an 8 mm drill - this will be enough to attach a small profiled sheet.

To do this, simply attach any sheet and mark the place of the future hole. It can be done directly in the process of screwing the profiled flooring. That is, measure each sheet separately or drill into a prepared hole.

To do this, we need ordinary M8 bolts, as well as nuts for them. To prevent them from unwinding, it is best to put a second nut and tighten them together. The use of plastic washers is recommended when working on iron-to-iron connections.

We almost figured out how to make a canopy out of corrugated board with our own hands, it remains to protect our work for many years. In this we will be helped by deep impregnation of the metal, as well as coating with car paint - a 5-year guarantee that the color will not be lost, and the paint itself will not "peel off" in the sun.

Metal profile canopies: photo and description of how to build

Various sheds from a metal profile: their photos can often be found when looking for options for arranging various outbuildings, it is not so difficult to make it yourself. To do this, you need to have basic skills in working with a welding machine and grinding equipment.

Metal profile canopies: photos of various options

Very often, near your house, it becomes necessary to build a shed for any purpose. This can be a canopy over the terrace for relaxation or a gazebo, a garage or just a warehouse for various home and garden tools. The structure can be isolated or adjacent to another structure or house. Today, canopies are most often made from metal profiles. Photos of various options and drawings can be found in the public domain. In addition, the cost of such a structure is quite within the power of most owners.

Canopy made of metal profile and wood

For the installation of the simplest canopy, you will need to purchase shaped pipe different sizes and profiled sheet for the roof and, if necessary, for the walls. Alternatively, the roof can be made of polycarbonate. The design of the canopy depends on its purpose and size. This also affects the parameters of the profile pipe for the racks. The canopy can be open or closed. In addition to the roof, the closed shed also has walls.

A canopy over the porch with a sloping roof made of corrugated board

Roof designs vary. The simplest and most common is a pitched roof. Often they make it gable. In gazebos and terraces for relaxation, the roof is made in the form of a pyramid, and sometimes even in the Chinese style with upward curved edges. With the advent of flexible roofing materials, arched roofs covered with polycarbonate began to enjoy popularity. Curved trusses for them can be made only on a special machine.

Gable roof canopy over the pool

In order to independently make a canopy from a metal profile, a photo of which will take its rightful place among the best samples, you must follow certain rules, with which you need to familiarize yourself before starting construction.

Useful advice! If you decide to make a canopy from a metal profile yourself, but you are doing it for the first time, you should not choose complex structures... Better to stay on simple rectilinear forms. This will allow you to build a pretty decent canopy without proper experience.

How to build the simplest metal canopy

In order to understand the technology of building a canopy from a metal profile, take, for example, the construction of a garage with dimensions of 6x3 m with a simple gable roof and walls. Before starting work, it is necessary to make the necessary calculations, since the thickness of the metal supports and crossbars depends on the amount of precipitation in a given area.

For middle lane when constructing a structure of this size, 8 pipes with a diameter of 80 to 100 mm will be required. If they have a square section, then 100x100 mm will be enough. For the rest of the structural elements, square pipes 50x50 mm and rectangular pipes 25x40 mm, as well as fittings, are suitable.

The ceiling and walls of the metal canopy are covered with lightweight fabric

Some amount additional materials and simple tool will be needed for the production of work on the construction of a canopy from a metal profile. The photo of finished objects does not tell us anything about this, so we list everything that will be needed:

household electric arc welding machine;
ladder;
grinder (grinder);
hacksaw, tape measure, level, hammer, pliers, shovel;
cordless screwdriver, drill, drill;
shaped pipes, corners, fittings;
cement, sand, crushed stone;
roofing screws, bolts;
mittens.

Useful advice! If you plan to use corrugated board with a polymer coating for the roof, you should not cut it with a grinder. This will degrade the polymer by high heat, leading to premature corrosion.

Site preparation and earthworks

Before proceeding with the construction of the shed, you need to choose a suitable place. It is desirable that it be the highest and with minimum slope... If you still have a choice, then you need to look for the place where the clay is closest to the surface. When you have to build in a low area, you should take care of the drainage and drainage.

If you plan to make a garage with a hard concrete floor, then you need to remove the soil from the entire area to the very clay and make a sand-crushed stone pillow, which must be carefully tamped. After that, a cement screed is made. The holes for the supports are drilled with a drill to a depth of 50 cm. The bottom of the holes is covered with sand and gravel to create a dense cushion.

Construction of the canopy frame

Each hole is filled in half with a solution, after which a support is placed in it. Using a plumb line, it is installed in a strictly vertical position and fixed. After that, the hole is poured with a solution to the top.

Useful advice! In order for the supports to stand more reliably in the ground, it is necessary to weld metal squares or circles to their lower part, so that they fit into the hole. This will allow you to better fix them, and it will also be more convenient to fix them until the solution has frozen.

When all the pits are filled with mortar, it is necessary to wait for the reliable fixation of the canopy supports from the metal profile. A photo of this stage of construction shows how even the supports are exposed. By general rule, you need to wait at least a day, but preferably more.

After the solution hardens, you can level all the supports in height and weld squares with a side of 150 mm to their upper part. They are needed for the subsequent installation of roof trusses on them. Instead of squares, you can also use pieces of the channel. Then the strapping is done using shaped pipes. This can be done at the top and bottom. Sometimes, for rigidity, a diagonal strapping is made between the supports. Spacers are welded to the top of one support and the bottom of the other.

For the installation of a gable roof, the construction of triangular trusses is required. They can be welded from a 50x50 mm square tube. A piece of the same pipe is welded between the ridge and the underside of the triangle. The length of the roof slopes depends on the slope angles. All these parameters are calculated according to the Pythagorean theorem. For rigidity, reinforcement is welded in each truss. Its thickness can be from 8 to 10 mm. It must be welded crosswise inside the farm.

Arrangement of a canopy made of a metal profile and polycarbonate

Each triangular truss is installed on adjacent supports and welded to them. Then from a pipe 25x40 mm. the lathing is made in increments of 40 - 50 cm. Roofing sheeting is screwed onto this lathing using self-tapping screws with rubber gaskets. Sheets of the required length must be prepared in advance.

The walls of the canopy are made of wall corrugated board, which is attached to the upper and lower straps with self-tapping screws. At the last stage, a double-leaf gate frame is welded from a profile pipe, which is attached with canopies to the racks. The gate is sheathed with the same corrugated board.

Metal profile carport

Such a garage, made as a closed canopy made of a metal profile, the photo of which can be appreciated at its true worth, cannot be called warm, but it may well protect the car from snow, rain or hail. Since it reliably protects from the wind, the temperature in it in winter will be 2 - 3 degrees higher than in the open air. In order for the structure to be flat and neat, all measurements must be made accurately, and when fastened in place, it is necessary to use the building level.

When planning space on a personal site, it is not always necessary to build capital structures with a foundation, walls and other expensive structural elements... Sometimes it is inexpedient from an economic point of view, and sometimes there is simply no need for a closed space. Today we will consider some of the features of awnings and canopies, which can be easily built from corrugated board with our own hands or ordered ready-made.

Why do you need a canopy from a metal profile

By themselves, canopies made of metal profiles are found on sites more and more often for several reasons. They can be used as a carport or two or three, they can be attached as a visor in front of the entrance to a house, garage, workshop, can be used to cover a summer kitchen, barbecue, various purposes of utility structures.

By arranging canopies from a metal profile, the photos of which we publish here, several issues are resolved at once, and the feasibility of this construction is dictated by the advantages of this design over a number of others:

Variety of metal profiles

A metal profile is not only a corrugated board, but a whole range of ready-made metal products, which are produced by metal rolling enterprises. In addition to corrugated board, a metal profile also means a number of steel elements:

It is from these rolling elements that canopies, canopies and gazebos, which we are talking about today, are most often built.

Shed canopy made of metal profile

The canopy, from the point of view of structural engineering, is a rigid structure, which consists of a solid frame and support posts. The lean-to canopy is the most simple construction, in contrast to the gable canopy. The angle of inclination of the slope can be anything, and it is dictated only by the size and volume that this canopy limits. Shed structures are most often built with the support of the main building on the high side. There is even an opportunity to save money. If you plan the canopy correctly, you can do without the main drainage system from the roof using pipes. The canopy itself will play the role of a drainage system. In addition, the walls of the house will not get wet.

The racks can be made of any available material, but a metal profile from hollow rolled metal of any shape will show itself better. It is lightweight and strong in both bending and compression. To cover the structure, you can use corrugated board or polycarbonate, as well as triplex glass, even dense polyethylene.

Calculation of a canopy from a metal profile

Before proceeding with the assembly and purchase of structural elements, it is worthwhile to carry out at least an approximate calculation of the future structure. Both the price and the materials themselves will depend on the results of the calculation. If the canopy is small, and it will be covered with a light material, then light hollow rolled products can be used, especially if the level of winter precipitation is not too frightening.

If the level of snow cover is large, then it is better to play it safe and place the stands more often, and you can cover it with corrugated board or galvanized sheet metal.

The calculation is an individual matter, but on average, for a lean-to shed with light shelter, 25-mm square racks will be enough, and trusses can be welded from a 20 mm profile. For a six-meter canopy, this will be quite enough. If the dimensions are larger, then the sections of the profiles must be increased.

Metal profile house canopy

An attached canopy to the house on one side is simpler and more functional than a free-standing canopy. It is not always possible to place a canopy supported by the main building, but this option is more profitable for some reason:

The only difficulty can be the binding of the structure to the building, but if you figure it out, then there will be no difficulties, the main thing is to do everything with a small margin of safety. Racks, which stand at a distance from the house, are dug into the ground and concreted, or you can simply strengthen them by rubbing if the canopy is not very bulky.

Fastening the structure to the building

Since there will be only two or three racks on one side, light rental will no longer work. Here you need to use durable hollow steel 40x60 mm or similar, but not less. Winters are different. The truss is fixed to the building with anchors, and if the floor area is large, more than 6 squares, then several additional wall racks are arranged. The entire structure is fixed by welding, after which it is treated with soil and painted. The roof covering is fixed with self-tapping screws through sealing washers.

DIY heated insoles

To hire construction crew from 2-3 people costs about 300 rubles per hour. The cost of construction materials from the contractor will be 20-30% higher than at a retail outlet, not to mention wholesale warehouses. It is generally better to remain silent about the conscientiousness of the work. Why not then make a canopy from a metal profile with your own hands and save money and nerves?

Preparatory land works and selection of materials

Step 1 It is necessary to choose a construction site.

Step 2 Choosing a material.

Step 3 Clearing the area for action.

The floor of the canopy will be concreted, so it is necessary to remove a layer of earth about 10 centimeters from the place of its deployment, fill it half with sand, a little rubble and leave about 5 centimeters for concrete screed... This will be enough for a car weighing 1200-1800 kg. If weighty objects are supposed to be in the canopy, it is better to make a screed 9-12 centimeters. In the course of stripping, we remove all roots from the ground, large stones.

Step 4 We build communications.

We install supports and crate

The manufacture of the supporting structure is the most important process, since the durability of the structure directly depends on the correct execution of all actions. An improperly assembled frame can simply fall under a solid load in the winter or be untidy in appearance. To prevent this from happening, everything must be done gradually, taking into account all possible situations during operation.

Step 1 Installation of columns.

Step 2 We make the strapping.

It can be done at the very top - this is the traditional method of construction, or you can try out extraordinary ways to strengthen the structure. For example, weld the strapping crosswise (the top of one support and the bottom of the other are connected), with a mesh, or even make a double one - at the top and bottom.

Step 3 Lathing.

If you have a straight line pitched roof- there is nothing to fool yourself and come up with "cunning" designs. Just install metal beams every 80 centimeters, profiled metal sheet will be screwed onto them. With a gable roof, it's a little more difficult: we make a straight beam and a ridge, under the ridge there should be a perpendicular reinforcement to the straight beam. One gain is enough. The most difficult option is a double arch. Here it will be easier to buy ready-made bent elements, and between these arched squares then make L-shaped reinforcements every 40-50 centimeters. If the canopy is more than 4 meters wide, you need to install a direct additional reinforcement.

Do-it-yourself canopies made of corrugated board will cost about 7,000 rubles if you buy metal at the average market price. The installation process will take no more than 1 day, and only 1 worker can complete it (you need to be able to use a little welding machine and initial skills in working with a grinding tool).

Preparing the roof

This is the most important process, since the appearance of the entire structure depends on the quality of the assembly. We will attach it to a bolted connection - it is much easier this way. To prevent the roof from leaking, as well as corrosion of the bolts and metal profiled sheet, it is better to use plastic or rubber washers, which are put directly on the cap and can protect the hole from moisture ingress in winter. Let's take a closer look at the step-by-step instructions for installing the roof.

In many courtyards of private houses, summer cottages and in public places, you can find sheds made of metal profiles. These can be shelters for cars, playgrounds, gazebos, firewoods, barbecues, balconies and porch canopies, and much more. The metal profile has become popular in the last decade. This is explained by its numerous advantages and acceptable cost. That is why many owners of private houses use it to build a variety of sheds. From this article, you can learn about the types of such shelters and their advantages, how to calculate and build a structure with your own hands, as well as see photo examples of ready-made canopies.

Types and advantages of metal profile canopies

The great popularity of the metal, first of all, can be explained by its durability. Structures made from it can last for more than a dozen years. Moreover, caring for them consists only in coating with anticorrosive paints.

It has a metal profile and other advantages:

The lack of material is that it cools and heats up quickly... Therefore, when erecting structures from a metal profile, this should be taken into account. So, for example, when constructing sheds for rest, the seats and railings are best made of wood.

Metal structures divided by materials of manufacture.

Profile rental has different sizes supports, roof systems and auxiliary elements. Fastening is done using bolted connections or welding on a metal gusset.
Round pipes with a diameter of 50-100 mm are fixed by welding.
Prefabricated structures from an aluminum profile with their own hands are assembled by the end method or on washers.
Stainless steel awnings do not require additional protection and finishing work. However, only a professional can build them on their own, since a special type of welding will be needed to connect the elements.
Forged products will adorn any site and home. You can make them yourself or order them from specialists.

Do-it-yourself canopy construction professionals recommended from a profile pipe... Such buildings are practical and economical. Moreover, over time, the structure can be decorated with a wooden lattice or forging, lined with stone or brick, glazed, closed with curtains.

How to make a canopy with your own hands

For the construction of a canopy from a metal profile with your own hands, you can take typical drawings, adapting them to the dimensions of the building and the size of the site.

Site selection and preparation

You should also pay attention to slope angle... It is best to choose a flat area or a hill. Otherwise, the building may end up in a collection point for water and cause a lot of inconvenience.

Before concreting the floor, remove about 10 cm of the top layer, large stones, roots from the ground. Then cover 5 cm with sand, and leave 5 cm for the concrete screed. This thickness will be sufficient for objects. weighing up to 1800 kg... If it is supposed to put cars with heavy weight under the canopy, then the screed will need to be made 9-12 cm.

Before starting work on the construction of a canopy with your own hands, it is recommended to take into account everything that will be associated with its subsequent operation:

calculate the location and make low tides in the ground;
take into account the availability of water supply, gas;
conduct electrical wiring.

Since any alteration takes a lot of time and is expensive, before starting the construction of a structure, it is necessary to carefully check whether everything is ready for construction.

Installation of supports and lathing

Durability of construction directly depends on the supporting structure, therefore, special attention should be paid to its installation.

For metal supports, dig or drill holes 30 cm in diameter.
Insert a support post into the pit and fill the hole with concrete by 50%.
Check the verticality of the support, correct the support and fill in the remaining solution.
To strengthen the structure at the top of the frame, make a strapping.
For a lean-to shed, install metal beams with a step of 80 cm.
If the roof is gable, then you need to install a straight beam and a ridge, under which you need to make a perpendicular reinforcement.
For a canopy made of a metal profile with a width of more than 4 meters, additional reinforcement is installed.
For a double arch, it is recommended to purchase special bent elements and install an L-shaped reinforcement between the arched squares in increments of 40-50 cm.

Roof installation

How well the roof is built depends on the appearance of the entire building.

Drill bolt holes in the profile sheets using an electric drill and an 8 mm drill.
Attach the workpiece to the lathing, mark the place of the future hole and drill it.
Screw the profile sheet to the batten using M8 bolts and nuts. It is recommended to use plastic washers on the joints of such elements with iron.
Impregnate the metal with an anti-corrosion compound that will protect the material for many years.

A canopy made of metal profiles was built by hand and is ready for use.

In order for the structure of the metal profile to turn out to be strong, high-quality and durable, during its construction with your own hands it is recommended use expert advice.

As you can see from the article, it is quite simple to build a canopy from a metal profile with your own hands. The main thing is desire and strict adherence to instructions... As a result, you can get excellent protection from the scorching sun and precipitation.
