Each owner of his own plot tries to improve the territory in the most comfortable way. For this, various architectural forms are used, a variety of which are canopies in the courtyard of a private house, photos of which confirm the fact that, in addition to their main functions, canopies can become a real highlight of the local area. They are a unique attribute of coziness and comfort, allowing you not to postpone planned events due to the vagaries of the weather. Thanks to the availability of a large selection of high-quality materials on the market, and with a little imagination, you can build the most elegant and beautiful canopy in the courtyard of a private house (the photos below show some interesting ideas for using such structures in the landscape design of the area near the house). Next, we’ll talk about the types of canopies and how to arrange them.

Canopies in the courtyard of a private house: photos of structures depending on the area of application

Canopies are, first of all, structures designed to protect a particular area from precipitation (whether snow or rain), hot sun rays or falling leaves. Therefore, they place a canopy in the courtyard of a private house, mainly over recreation areas and the most “passable” areas.

Canopy in the form of a “visor”

We can say that a canopy over the entrance is mandatory - it protects not only from rain, but plays the role of a kind of protection against wet snow sticking to the steps and thresholds, which can lead to falls and injuries. There is another variety - a canopy extension over the terrace, with one side fixed to the wall, under which comfortable furniture, a barbecue and other attributes of a comfortable stay can be located. As a rule, shelters over the porch are made in the same style as the main building, using appropriate materials and colors. For example, for a house made of timber, a wooden structure with the possible use of forged elements is suitable.

Shed-extension

You can implement a canopy in the yard to protect the area from the entrance to the gate or outbuildings. Such structures have quite large dimensions and, for the most part, are an extension canopy, one side of which is attached directly to the wall of the house, and the other is supported on supports. Their undoubted advantage is that you can freely move along the paths at any time of the year, and in winter you do not have to clear them of snow. They can also be stationary (with supports on all sides) or mixed type.

In this case, it is better to construct closed canopies in the courtyard of a private house - the photos clearly demonstrate the advantage of “greenhouse” type structures.

You can use sliding elements, with which you can open the mobile sections in hot weather and close them securely in windy weather.

gazebo canopy

This version of the canopy is a favorite structure for summer residents and owners of country houses. Gazebos can be of various shapes: round, square, polyhedron-shaped, as well as open (the design involves the presence of supports and a roof) or semi-closed type (there are side walls). Such buildings are usually located in the greenest, picturesque areas of the site on hills.

Canopy over the playground

A canopy over a children's playground is a fairly popular design for families. Even in the worst weather, it is very difficult to keep a child in the house, so a canopy located above the swing, sandbox and horizontal bars will be a good help for the child and his parents. In addition, the canopy will protect the wooden elements of the site from precipitation and extend their service life.

Canopy to the yard to protect the car

A carport will definitely become indispensable for owners of small plots where there is virtually no free space to build a garage. Carports in the courtyard of a private house (the photo shows their various options) can also serve in the event of guests arriving, who, undoubtedly, will be more comfortable seeing their car on the site, and not outside it. Among other things, installing such a canopy will require significantly lower financial costs than building a garage.

What to make a canopy for the yard from?

Canopies of any functional type have a completely simple design, the main elements of which are supports, frame and roof. In order to choose materials, you should first decide on the style - a canopy in the courtyard of a private house must correspond to the overall landscape design of the area.

The materials for the supports can be steel pipes, wooden beams, as well as posts made of brick. The frame, in most cases, is made of metal profiles or wood. The same material that covers the main buildings is often used to make the roof. Corrugated sheeting, plastic, metal tiles and soft types of materials are also well suited, among which polycarbonate stands out (due to its combination of strength and flexibility). Let's look at some of the most used options.

Sheds made of corrugated sheets in the courtyard of a private house: photos of bold ideas

Corrugated sheeting is considered an ideal option for roofing - this is explained by many indicators. Among these are the following: ease of installation, which is not particularly complicated (this applies to a greater extent to craftsmen who build canopies in the courtyard of a private house with their own hands); relative cheapness (especially if it is thin); high density, preventing furniture or car from fading; durability; practicality and unique compatibility with any materials used in the construction of the structure.

Depending on the type of construction and the amount of material required, sheds made of corrugated sheets in the courtyard of a private house (photos show various interpretations) can be arched, single-pitch or gable. The structure in the form of an arch looks much more interesting than a simple lean-to, but its construction will require a lot of experience, since it is quite complex. A gable canopy is used less frequently and is used mainly to equip the roof of an open summer kitchen.

Canopies made of metal profiles

The advantage of architectural forms made from metal profiles lies, first of all, in the visual lightness of the structure built with its help, which will easily fit into any design project for arranging the local area. In addition, metal profiles are a reliable and durable material that, with proper care, can last for quite a long time. Proper care, in this case, means timely treatment of it with anti-corrosion compounds or special paints containing them.

Sheds made of metal profiles in the courtyard of a private house (photos show various types of structures - from primitive to more complex) are used for various purposes. They can protect a recreation area, a car parking lot, or an open summer kitchen, without creating any visible clutter in the space.

Wooden canopies in the courtyard of a private house: photos of beautiful options

Wooden structures are gaining more popularity over the years, since, regardless of the style of the main buildings, they easily fit into the natural landscape, becoming a part of the landscape. A wooden canopy in the courtyard of a private house can be used for a variety of purposes, and can also be stationary or attached to the wall of the main building.

It should be noted that wood is a material that can be easily processed, from which you can create the most bizarre shapes. Wooden sheds are built from logs or timber. Experts advise using beams measuring 90 by 90 mm for support, and further strengthening the supporting beam for strength. It is worth remembering that the wood must be treated with special solutions that protect against rotting and various insects.

Wooden canopies in the courtyard of a private house, as seen in the photo, can be decorated with carvings, figured pillars or point balusters. The main thing is to know moderation in everything and not to overdo it, so that it doesn’t turn out to be absurd.

Canopies in the courtyard of a private house: photos of 30 beautiful options updated: September 29, 2017 by: Kyiv Irina

Good afternoon - today I have prepared a BIG and NECESSARY article to help everyone who has seriously set out to make a wooden canopy adjacent to a private house with their own hands. That is, I will tell you step by step what simple steps (and they are really simple) consist of building a canopy against the wall of a house. We will make wooden sheds with a polycarbonate roof. We will look at different design options for the same canopy model for a house - that is, we will learn how to create different canopy designs based on one drawing - for any home, for any needs. And after reading the article you will not only LEARN how to make canopies, but also YOU CAN implement any design wooden canopy for a private house.

After all, when you understand the ESSENCE of the design, you will be able to modify this design according to your creative imagination. And who knows, maybe you will even earn a living later as a master of attachment work.

We will consider the following questions in turn.

The canopy to the house is his basic elements
How to change the design of basic elements- and get different canopy designs for your home.
How step by step make a canopy with your own hands.

Let's first look at the classic wood canopy.

CLASSIC SHAPE

CANNOT TO THE HOUSE

So, here (photo below) is a sample of what we will learn to do with our own hands. We see a classic lean-to canopy against the wall of the house. Such a canopy for a house can be made not only at a blank wall - exactly the same canopy structure can be made at the front entrance of the house, in the back yard for gatherings and anywhere, it doesn’t matter, the principle is the same.

GENERAL PRINCIPLE FOR ALL CANNOS the fact that with one edge the canopy is attached to the wall - and with the other edge it stands on support pillars. That is, the canopy to the house must have two types of support - on poles and on the wall.

This is the essence of all outbuildings... however making holes in the wall in order to nail a support beam to it is NOT MANDATORY - below you will see models of canopies where the fasteners do not need to be driven into the wall, but you can install the same SUPPORT POSTS near the wall of the house as on the outer edge of the canopy. So, if you don’t want to make holes in a beautifully plastered wall, don’t rush to leave the article, there will be canopy options for your case too.

4 STAGES OF CREATING A CANOPY

(common to all designs)

The essence of the construction any wooden canopy to the house - consists in four stages.

Fastening first load-bearing beam on the wall (this is the first support of the canopy)
We install support pillars at the required distance from the wall.
Fastening second load-bearing beam on poles (this is the second support for the roof sheathing).
We lay transverse boards on these supporting beams ( roof sheathing)

How exactly I will tell you how to implement all these stages a little later in the article. Now I want to start by showing you the VARIETY of front awning designs. And to prove to you that all these different-looking canopies near the house are MADE ACCORDING TO THE SAME PRINCIPLE... in exactly the same 4 stages.

I will show - and talk about the design of canopies - STARTING with the simplest ones - and ENDING with more complex versions of canopies... Complex not in the drawings, but only in appearance (in reality they are all simple).

So - let's take the simplest canopy for the house (it requires very few beams).

The simplest canopy for the house.

(CANOPY OPTION No. 1 - with material savings)

If you have few wooden beams, but have a task to make a canopy for the house from these small ones. Then you can make a simple design like this (photo below). A total of 5 beams are needed - 2 for support pillars + 3 for load-bearing beams.

Here, the load-bearing side beams are attached to the wall using METAL FASTENERS (the photo below shows what they are like). Such metal brackets are attached to the wall of the house and the ends of the two side beams of our canopy are inserted into them.

The roof in such a canopy attached to the house can be a sheet of polycarbonate (transparent or darkened) ... or the roof can be an awning-curtain that slides along a stretched metal string (and either moves apart like a tent or gathers against the wall like curtains). I talked more about such a curtain roof for awnings in the article

Let's take a more complex canopy... Although its complexity is purely conditional... The essence is basically the same - but this model is already close to the classic design of a canopy attached to a house. The most understandable drawing, without unnecessary elements. Only the basic elements...

support pillars
load-bearing beam on the wall
load-bearing beam on support pillars
roof sheathing beams (for laying polycarbonate sheets on them)

This is a classic- A BASIC part of any canopy. And starting from these basic elements, we will create a great variety of canopy designs for the house.

And to start from the very beginning, we must start from the BOTTOM... from the substrate, from the foundation on which our canopy will stand.

Wooden flooring under the canopy.

(flat wooden base)

Before making a canopy, we need to figure out what we want in the final version - A CANOPY ON THE GROUND (so that the support pillars are dug into the ground, into concrete)... or A CANOPY WITH A BOARD FLOOR (where the support posts are attached to a wooden flooring)?... Let's look at the canopy projects and understand our desires and preferences.

Here (photo above) you can clearly see that first the man laid a neat wooden flooring... And then he installed a canopy on it.

If you are making a canopy for gatherings in the shade on the back patio of your private home, then that's reasonable- make a comfortable wooden flooring.

Let's start with the fact that level the soil surface where there will be a canopy near the house.

After this we need to put on the ground sheathing our future wooden flooring...

And then the sheathing-base cover with boards(we nail them to the sheathing)

You can take long boards at full length (as in the photo below)

Or if our boards are short, then they can be laid out at random... in a checkerboard pattern (as in the photo below).

What to do if you need flooring, but the canopy is already on concrete.

Let's say you decided to make a country canopy... and you did... And now you want it to be under the canopy adjacent to the house there was a neat wooden flooring. So that the furniture can be arranged, put a rug. Here is a photo example of how this can be implemented. We lay the sheathing on posts (if you want to raise the flooring above the ground).

If the soil or concrete foundation in front of the house is uneven in height, then the support columns will be of different heights - for different soil levels - somewhere longer, somewhere shorter. Here you will need to clearly calculate height support columns - so that the beams lying on them are all at the same level - in the same plane.

After that, all that remains is to pave it all with boards - and your flooring is ready for the canopy adjacent to the house.

Here is another photo example of a high deck under a wooden canopy near a house. It is built on the same principle - support posts + sheathing + plank flooring. And (what I liked) the side planes of the flooring are sewn up here - special panels with holes for ventilation are nailed on all sides.

If you are making a canopy at a door high above the ground(that is, your house has a high foundation) - then the wooden flooring under such a canopy should also be high + a porch needs to be built into it to go down from this pedestal. This is just such a project for flooring under a canopy - for a house with a high foundation (photo below). A very picturesque picture - a side porch with flowerbeds on the sides and illuminated steps.

Concrete base

under a canopy near the house.

You can also make a BASE FOR A CANOPY in the form of a concrete blind area (regular or paved with tiles)

And here is the base for the canopy, which I really like - high concrete formwork

We cast a high side from concrete (or lay it out of brick) - we give this side an elegant cladding to look like rough stone. It turns out beautiful.

This option is also good if you have support beams of insufficient height... And such formwork will raise your wooden canopy to the level you need .

Here is a similar principle, where the support pillars of the canopy stand on rocky hills. This allows you to use even short cuts of beams in the construction of sheds.

Here is another example of a canopy, where support pillars that are short in length are used. The support beams were placed on specially built brick walls. The result is a canopy with short legs and a beautiful wall, which can then be decorated in an interesting way and covered with decorative stone. Place a bench and fireplace nearby.

Or such a stone wall-side for our wooden canopy can be decorated in an oriental style - create a fountain there, put flowerpots and pots with plants + stick night lanterns. And what you will get is not just a simple canopy near the house, but a magical corner where you can so comfortably retire or talk about good topics with a friend.

So, we have figured out the BASE for canopies... Now let's see what other canopies there are. And first of all, let's look at the canopy project, for which you do not need to damage the wall of the house.

CANOPY on 4 POSTS

without fastening to the wall of the house.

Remember, I promised to show a wooden canopy near the house, which does not need to be attached to the wall (no need to drill holes and spoil the elegant facade of the house). Here is this model - such a canopy stands on 4 support pillars (or more pillars are possible) ... and it is not attached to the wall - it simply adjoins it, that is, it stands close to it (see options for wooden canopies in the photo below)

And such a free-standing canopy near the house can be decorated with false columns. False columns are available at home improvement stores and can simply be wrapped around your regular wooden shed beams. That is, hide each supporting pillar of the canopy inside such an elegant Greek false column.

Now look at the powerful potential hidden in your new skill of “making awnings with your own hands”...

Large canopy

with a terrace on the second floor.

If you are the owner of a private TWO-STORY house, then why just make a canopy over the porch. Make a canopy along the entire facade of the house - place it on weight on powerful support pillars of thick section - and... MAKE A TERRACE ON THE ROOF OF THE CANNOT.

It's a good idea... Agree.

After all, this is the right idea. Since you have decided to make a canopy near your house... Then why not think about the future. Make a canopy right away on thick powerful beams-pillars. And then next year continue construction on the roof of your shed - attach a railing with balusters- and now you have the opportunity to sit high above the ground - with a cup of tea from a samovar on a wooden terrace made with your own hands. And remember that it all started with your humble desire to make some kind of canopy...

Just my advice: it is better to make similar structures on the south side of the house a (the north side is poorly lit and it is not advisable to additionally darken it with a canopy - there will be less light in the house and the walls will become damp).

... well, stop dreaming - it's time to DO.

So, as I promised - 4 simple steps. Each stage in itself is not difficult, everyone can do it. And all the stages together give a single result - THE CANOPY YOU DREAMED OF.

Making a canopy - stage one

canopy support ON THE WALL.

First, you need to decide AT WHAT LEVEL you need to make a hanging beam on the wall. This is important because...
If you want the canopy roof to be level (not sloped) so that you can walk on it, so that you can make a terrace on it in the future... then the level of your beam on the wall should coincide with the level of the beam on the pillars - that is, they should be at the same height from the ground.

If you are not planning any terraces on the roof of the carport - Do you want this roof to be sloped? so that the snow slides off it itself (that is, you need a canopy with a pitched roof), then you need nail the supporting beam to the wall HIGHER than the beam on the support pillars. Here in the photo below I show an example of this thought of mine. Where is the load-bearing beam near the wall (arrow 1) higher level than the supporting beam on the pillars (arrow 2). And due to this different height, we get a canopy with a sloping pitched roof.

Now, let's look at the ways in which this beam can be attached to the wall, or what other fasteners (besides the beam) can be used to attach the canopy to the wall of the house.

Method one - Support in the form of a beam.

We simply attach a horizontal beam to the wall (with self-tapping screws) - it will hold the roof of our canopy (we will lay our cross beams directly on it for sheathing the roof).

And so that you do not doubt the reliability of the beam fastening, you can attach a whole beam-holding mechanism to the wall - in the shape of a square (see photo with a red arrow below).

Method two - Vertical racks against the wall.

If you have obtained beams for the support pillars of a smaller diameter... and the load on the roof of the canopy is planned to be more serious (i.e. you want to make the roof sheathing also from heavy beams)... THEN you need ADDITIONALLY REINFORCE your supporting beam on the wall and also the supporting beam that lies on the pillars

We see that the load-bearing horizontal beam (attached to the wall) is reinforced additional vertical support bars(arrow 1). Thus, the canopy attached to the house does not rest its entire weight on the wall beam, but distributes its weight onto the wall posts and beams.

And the supporting vertical pillars from the other end of the pergola (i.e. those from the outer end of the porch) have diagonal short support beams, which hold the second load-bearing horizontal beam (arrow 2).

By the way (in the photo above), pay attention to WHAT THE SUPPORT POSTS STAND ON... They are based on metal bearings on a high thick metal leg, which is screwed into the flooring boards.

Here is another photo where the canopy has support beams right next to the wall of the house A. It’s safer this way: you don’t have to worry about the wall, in case the beam falls off the wall under the weight of time. Additional pillars against the wall will prevent this from happening.

The third method is support in the form of metal brackets.

We attach brackets-holders to the wall (stone or wood or brick)... This is how we see in the photo below... And we place our side cross beams on them (as on model No. 1 of the canopy from this article).

Important condition: Not every wall is suitable for such fasteners. If the wall is tiny, or made of porous material (foam blocks, for example), then the fasteners will not adhere well to the wall. And you must understand that heavy beams will sooner or later fall on the heads of your neighbors.

Therefore, consult with specialists. It’s better to choose the fastening method in which there is not a single bit of doubt - that is, the one where there are additional vertical posts along the wall that support a horizontal beam on the wall (see the second method).

Making a canopy - the second stage

install SUPPORT POSTS.

I described this stage in detail in the article. All 4 methods of installing poles are described there - both in the ground, and on a concrete foundation, and on a wooden flooring... And here I will only show a photo of the options for fastening elements for support poles. Or you can simply dig them into the ground (after tarring them and wrapping them in roofing material so that they do not rot in the ground).

Thrust bearings (or anchors) serve to protect wooden posts from rotting. U-shaped and T-shaped anchors are best suited for this purpose. They allow the beam to rise 2 cm above the surface. Be blown by the breeze and do not retain rain moisture.

If you bury your poles in the ground, it is better to use thrust bearings with long anchors (in the form of a reinforcement rod or pipe) - this way the metal part of the pole will be in the ground, and the wooden part on the surface.

And if you don't want to spend money on steel bearings. And just dig the pillars into the cement foundation the old fashioned way, then don’t be lazy before tar that part of the timber that will go into the ground. Resin will extend the life of the wood, protecting it from rot. Instead of tarring, ordinary roofing material is often used. They wrap it around the underground part of the timber, and tightly wrap this roofing material “swaddling” with metal wire. Place the end of the pillar wrapped in roofing felt in the hole and fill it with cement.

And also the support pillars for the canopy can be made OF BRICK MASONRY and lined with decorative stone. Like in the photo below.

Making a canopy - stage three

place the BEARING BEAM on the pillars.

You will decide for yourself how to place the beam on the pillars. I'll show you several ways to attach a load-bearing beam to support posts, and you choose.

Method one (beam on top of pillars)

We place the beam on top of the post and fix it with long screws (central photo) or metal plates (right photo).

To prevent the supporting beam from bending on the support pillars under the weight of the roof sheathing, it can be REINFORCED. To do this, add diagonal beams (see extreme examples in the photo) or add an extended beam in the center (central example in the photo below).

Method two (beam from above into grooves on support pillars).

We cut out a hole-groove in each support column. And we put our load-bearing beam into this groove. Naturally, this method is suitable if our beam has a side that thinner in size than the thickness of the support column.

Method two - instead of a beam there are 2 boards.

This method is remarkable because it saves material (boards are cheaper than beams). And in terms of endurance, 2 boards are equal to one beam. We fill two boards on both sides of the support post and together they act as a regular load-bearing beam - see the photo of the canopy structures below.

I described all these methods of laying load-bearing beams on poles (for the roof of a country canopy) in detail in the article “Canopy for a summer house - 10 WAYS to make it yourself.” So if something is not clear here, you can find additional explanations in this article on how to make a canopy at home with your own hands.

Making a canopy - stage four

canopy roof lathing

The first method is lathing over the beams.

Laying down the sheathing boards just on top on the beams. And fasten it with metal corners. Like in the photos of the house canopy below.

The second method is on the grooves.

We cut grooves in the sheathing boards. And we put these grooves on the supporting beam. The difficulty here is that the grooves at the ends of the boards must coincide with the beams (therefore, the boards must first be dragged up, laid out on the roof, marked with a pencil where the grooves will be cut, then removed, sawed out the grooves, and lifted onto the roof again).

Method two - joint to joint.

This method is also possible, but the sheathing beams must be adjusted to fit snugly to snugly in order to fit neatly into the metal holder ears.

Roof for canopy

(roofing felt, polycarbonate, slate, tiles)

The most beautiful type of roof is transparent polycarbonate. This way there will always be light under the canopy. Such a roof is required if this side of the house faces north, so that excess darkness does not accumulate under the canopy.

If the canopy is on the sunny side of the house, and you instead want to reduce the sun above your head and sit in the shade of the canopy. Then you can choose any opaque roof - cheap roofing felt and slate, or more expensive soft tiles, or chalkboard.

Important: Don't forget to provide waterproofing the joint canopy with wall. To do this, you need to buy and nail a small iron visor. As in the photo below.

An elegant addition to a canopy.

You can cover the space between the support pillars with panels with sheathing. They are easy to manufacture - a regular rectangular frame made of thin blocks - and a thin strip is criss-crossed onto them. You can plant vines next to such a sheathing - they will beautifully crawl up the pergola.

As a result, you will have a gazebo adjacent to the house. There you can put a table and benches for gatherings with friends and neighbors.

You see how interesting it is to make a canopy with your own hands... believe in your own hands... and continue to create beauty around you... This is very useful. Because when you are doing good things, there is no time to do bad or sad things... And if there is a lot of beauty in life, then there is no room for despondency.

Get busy living or get busy dying...

Take care of your health or take care of your illness...

Deal with fear or deal with courage

Engage in despondency, or engage in creating something new

We ourselves choose what to do... So let's choose to create something new and useful...
Because when we create something, we create ourselves. The best version of ourselves.

Forward. You just need to start... then continue... and then finish. It's simple.

If I weren't a girl... I would build this myself. But all I can do is inspire boys. Therefore, it’s up to you to build))), dear boys.

Good luck with your dacha construction.

Manufacturing materials

The future design is subject to special requirements - it must be reliable, not subject to change over a long period of time, and resistant to moisture and temperature changes. In addition to the configuration, these parameters are affected by the material of manufacture.

The main elements of a canopy for the yard of a private house:

Support posts. They must withstand the weight of the roof, and the snow load is additionally taken into account.
Roofing material fixation system. Most often, a lattice base is made on which the roofing material is installed. If it is polycarbonate, the distance between the fasteners is as large as possible to ensure illumination of the enclosed area.
Roofing material. You can use any suitable material, from ordinary roofing felt to cellular polycarbonate. It is important to follow the installation technology and provide waterproof protection.

Each of these elements needs to be considered in more detail.

Frame

To save space and reliability, it is recommended to choose round or square pipes as the material for making racks. They are relatively easy to process; after installation, a protective coating of a layer of paint is applied. The connection of elements is done using welding. The mechanical assembly is not reliable enough.

The supporting racks must be made of square pipes with a minimum size of 100 * 100 mm. The support for the roof deck is made from scraps of a smaller section - 50 * 50 mm. The amount of material depends on the size of the canopy and its height.

An alternative to steel pipes is a frame made of wooden blocks and boards. It is less reliable than metal; wood dries out and changes shape under the influence of moisture and temperature.

It is used if consumables are available, in order to create an architectural ensemble that is unified with the house. Before assembly, the elements must be treated with moisture-proof and antifungal agents.

Roof

The use of traditional roofing material will provide protection from moisture and a long service life of the coating. Additionally, you need to take into account the rules of arrangement. Some will require a solid base, which will increase the labor intensity of the work.

Materials used for canopy roofing:

Polycarbonate. The best choice in terms of quality, installation complexity and reliability. The low specific gravity and windage are compensated by the increased frequency of fastening. Read about the construction of a polycarbonate canopy here.
Sheet slate. An economical option, but it is heavy, so be sure to use a waterproof film.
Bitumen roofing. It is laid on a solid base and is light in weight. Disadvantage: to ensure tightness, the seams undergo heat treatment, which requires standing on the roof. This is impossible if the structure is not designed to support the weight of an adult.
Profiled sheeting. Its properties are similar to slate, but it is characterized by light weight and ease of installation.

After selecting all consumables, you can begin construction.

Canopy in the courtyard of a house: step-by-step manufacturing instructions

First you need to prepare the site. It is leveled and filled with concrete. An alternative is laying paving slabs. An option with less labor costs is to arrange a foundation only for support columns. A prerequisite is a flat surface for attaching the racks.

Then you need to do the following.

Install support columns and secure them. Use a level and plumb to check the correct position.
Temporary stiffeners can be used to secure the supports.
Installation of the base for the roof, fastening it to the supporting structure.
Installation of roofing material.
Checking the reliability of the canopy.

If profile pipes were used as the manufacturing material, after assembly they need to be primed and painted.

100 best ideas: beautiful canopies in the courtyard of a private house in the photo

Beautiful do-it-yourself canopies in the courtyard of a private house

A private house is an area where you can give free rein to your talents, create something new and interesting, build an original building or improve an existing one. Naturally, every owner of a private house with his own plot of land tries to improve his territory as much as possible and increase the overall level of its comfort.

In order to realize themselves, owners use architectural forms and buildings, one of which are sheds. If you look at photos on the Internet, you can understand that they can not only be practical, performing their direct functions, but also very interesting in appearance, creating a highlight on the site.

In order to start building a canopy on the territory of a private house with your own hands, you need to carefully prepare for this and follow the generally accepted sequence, which is as follows:

creation of a project, drawing;
preliminary preparation of materials that will be used;
preparing the tools necessary to carry out the work;
soil preparation, surface leveling;
installation and concreting of canopy supports;
installation of longitudinal beams between supports;
roof decking and fastening (profile or other material).

This type of extension is an attribute of comfort and coziness, which guarantees the holding of previously planned outdoor events, regardless of the vagaries of the weather. Nowadays, many different high-quality materials are freely available on the market, which means they can be purchased and used to create a building. By using a little imagination and realizing his desires, the owner of a private house is able to not only complete the planned construction, but also make it original, stylish and sophisticated.

Canopy designs depending on their area of application

First of all, a canopy is a means of protection that will protect a certain area from rain and snow, falling leaves and the hot rays of the sun. Consequently, their location on the territory of a private house will be optimal where there are supposed to be recreation areas or areas of the greatest “traffic” (where people pass most often).

This type of canopy is the most basic and probably the most important, because it serves as a means of protection from rain and snow near the front door. It is also very important because it can protect the threshold or steps from the accumulation of wet snow and ice formation, which can lead to painful falls, bruises and injuries, and sometimes even fractures. That is why you should pay special attention to it, carefully consider the length of its protrusion and width in such a way as to protect yourself from possible problems. A subtype of such a canopy is an extension over the terrace, which is fixed on one side to the wall of the building. Under the canopy you can place furniture, a table, a barbecue or a small seating area for the comfort of residents of a private home.

Since this canopy is actually an additional part of the house, it is made from materials corresponding to the main building. If the house is wooden, then the canopy is made of timber, but if it is brick, then a metal covering is suitable. In addition, it is important to take into account external harmony and color matching so that at the end of construction the house and the shed look like a single whole.

If desired, you can create a canopy in the courtyard of a private house in such a way that it protects the entire territory, starting from the gate and ending with the threshold for entering the house or any of the other buildings on the territory. This type of construction is quite massive and dimensional; it represents an entire extension, one side of which is attached to the house, and the other is installed on supports. Their main advantage is that you can move freely along protected paths in any weather, and in winter these paths do not need to be cleared of snow. The extension canopy can also be of a stationary type (supported on both sides by supports) or a mixed version.

With this type of canopy, it would be best to design a “greenhouse” version of the closure. If sliding elements are used in the design, they can be controlled by opening sections in hot weather and closing them in wind or rain. The best option would be transparent coatings that will not interfere with the view and create a pleasant aesthetic impression.

This is one of the most favorite types of canopy for all home owners, which can be made in any convenient shape: circle, square, polyhedron, etc. It is optimal to place such canopies in the most picturesque area of the site or on a small hill. The gazebo can also be of an open type, in which case there are enough supports and the roof itself, which will protect from bad weather.

This option is popular among families with children who love to play outdoors. Everyone knows that even in bad weather it is quite difficult to keep a child in the house, which means that a special canopy should be constructed and placed over a sandbox, swing or horizontal bar in order to protect the child from the vagaries of the weather. It is also worth noting that the canopy will extend the life of the playing area by protecting the wooden structures of the playground from precipitation.

This is the best construction option for those who do not have enough free space on the territory of a private house and cannot afford to build a garage. Also, such canopies can serve as protection for the cars of guests, who will have peace of mind for their car by placing it under a special canopy. The main advantage of this canopy is the economic benefit, because building a garage is much more difficult and financially expensive.

Regardless of the functions of the canopy, it does not have an overly complex structure consisting of a support, frame and roof. Materials must be selected in accordance with the style of the house and overall landscape design. Wooden beams, brick pillars or steel pipes can be used as supports. For the frame it is best to use wood or metal profiles. The roofing materials used are similar to those used on other buildings. The best roofing options will be: plastic, polycarbonate, corrugated sheets and metal tiles.

It is corrugated sheeting that is considered optimal for the roof of a canopy, since it is easy to install, inexpensive, has high density and durability. In addition, this material is practical and combines well with any other materials used.

Depending on the design, the following types of canopies are distinguished: single and gable, arched. The arched type is the most complex, but also looks more attractive. The gable type of construction is used less often.

The main advantage of this material is its lightness and compatibility with other materials. This is a high-quality, reliable and durable material that can last a very long time, provided that it is properly looked after. The concept of caring means special treatment of the coating with anti-corrosion agents or paints that contain similar elements in their composition.

Over time, this type of roofing is becoming more and more popular, as it creates the impression of unity with nature and the surrounding landscape. The scope of application of a wooden canopy is not limited in any way; it can be used for any type, be it an extension or a stationary canopy.

The main advantage and advantage is that wood lends itself well to processing, which means you can create original shapes and boldly realize your design ideas. It is important to remember that the wood must be treated with protective solutions, which will protect the timber from insects and rot.

We create protective buildings in the country house and in the courtyard of a private house: a polycarbonate canopy - photo ideas, video

Polycarbonate can replace the more familiar PVC panels and decorate any building or area that needs to be protected from precipitation or excessive sunlight.

Before you figure out how to make a polycarbonate canopy with your own hands, let's go over the main properties and varieties of such materials, and also study the shapes and design of canopies, which are especially popular today, using photos.

Types and properties of polycarbonate coatings

When erecting polycarbonate canopies in the courtyard of a private house, it is important to choose the right type of material.

Polycarbonate canopy, photo

There are only three varieties of it. The first one is profiled polycarbonate Material with wavy and trapezoidal profiles is convenient to use for the construction of fences, roofs and other structures in the country.

Cellular polycarbonate is a panel that includes several plastic layers combined with each other by vertical ribs placed in the direction of the fibers. Canopies made of cellular polycarbonate have excellent thermal insulation properties due to the accumulation of air in empty spaces, and are also elastic and can bend even at low temperatures, so you can use them in complex construction processes.

Cellular polycarbonate can be different: these materials differ in thickness and width, parameters of the air space between the ribs, weight and other characteristics. Therefore, it is better to consult with specialists about which cellular polycarbonate to choose for a canopy, taking into account the specifics of the work that you have planned.

Monolithic The material is made on the basis of molded plastic. A canopy made of monolithic polycarbonate will have good strength and light weight. Its features include absorption of ultraviolet radiation. Often this material is used for industrial purposes.

There are many varied reviews about which polycarbonate is better for a canopy. Regardless of the methods of manufacturing polycarbonate for canopies, all such coatings will delight you with the following characteristics:

a wide variety of shapes and colors;
budget rates;
the ability to create both transparent and matte structures;
long period of operation;
simple installation process even when implementing complex circuits.

Let's look at some more subtleties on how to choose polycarbonate for a canopy, based on different characteristics.

Appearance of awnings

With the help of polycarbonate coating you can decorate even the most unusual structures on your site. But first you need to figure out which canopy option you need.

There are single-pitch polycarbonate canopies, inclined to one side, as well as gable options.

Depending on the shape of the slope, there are straight structures, as well as arched canopies made of polycarbonate. The latter option is more in demand because it adds elegance to the summer cottage and allows you to implement interesting decor ideas.

The appearance of buildings with such canopies will also depend on the materials used in addition to polycarbonate. The most durable and practical option is metal canopies, but you can also opt for wooden canopies that will fit into the natural landscape. Canopies made of wood and polycarbonate are less resistant to external influences, but if you choose high-quality wood treated with protective agents, there will be no problems.

Types of polycarbonate structures by application features

Polycarbonate canopies for summer cottages can be selected for different purposes. For example, using this material you can create a protective coating for the area where you will park your car. This way the car will be protected from the sun, rain and other factors. At the same time, you can choose unusual shapes of such a canopy instead of traditional geometry.

The next option on how you can use the beneficial properties of such coatings is to make a canopy for a polycarbonate pool with your own hands. Such a canopy will look like a spacious or compact covered pavilion, where you can protect yourself from the scorching sun while relaxing in the fresh air.

In addition, erecting a canopy over the pool helps prevent water from blooming and becoming polluted by leaves and dirt in any weather. And due to the water-repellent texture, drops of water will flow down the surface.

You can use such a pavilion even in cold seasons: strong winds will not damage the building. But keep in mind that such a canopy will not be cheap, and its price will vary depending on the area.

A common practice is to create a polycarbonate canopy attached to the house. A canopy over the porch is an excellent option for protecting the entrance to the main building at your dacha and partial areas near it.

If you attach a polycarbonate canopy to your house, you will be able to go outside without fear of rain, wind or sun. And with a variety of design options available, you can ensure that your extension matches the style of your home.

In addition to a polycarbonate porch canopy, you can build a similar structure over the terrace. Now it will be even easier to relax in the fresh air and admire the beauty of your site! After all, you can do this without fear of sunstroke or getting wet from the rain.

For many people, open balcony structures pose a problem. And this is not surprising, because as soon as bad weather manifests itself, being on the balcony will become problematic. If you don’t want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of being outside the house in bad weather, you can build a polycarbonate canopy over the balcony.

By the way, another advantage of using this material is the ability to slow down the aging processes of the balcony structure. First of all, this applies to wooden balconies, because with constant exposure to moisture, the appearance of fungus and mold in this area is possible, and a loss of strength of the building is also possible.

If there is free space on a suburban or summer cottage site, you can arrange a recreation area here by installing a gazebo with a polycarbonate canopy. Of course, you can choose another roofing method, but polycarbonate, given its properties, will be optimal in terms of price and quality.

Depending on the degree of transparency, such a canopy will create different lighting in the gazebo area, so you can create a romantic and relaxing environment here.

A simplified version is a bench with a polycarbonate canopy. It will find use anywhere on your site, since it does not take up much space, but is always protected from external irritants. Such a bench can be placed in a remote area or near the entrance to the house.

What to look for when purchasing

The choice of thickness will be affected by the degree of bending of the roof and the planned load of wind and snow on the surface.

Experts will tell you under what load which types of polycarbonate will be optimal. You can also look for special tables that determine acceptable lathing parameters taking into account the maximum weight. We do not recommend saving and choosing the thinnest material.

To prevent such sheets from deteriorating, you will have to increase the frequency of the sheathing, and this will require even greater costs. We also do not recommend choosing the thickest polycarbonate sheets: this is often not necessary, and it will be more difficult to bring them into the desired shape.

Some tips on how to choose the thickness of polycarbonate canopies:

if you need to build greenhouses or greenhouses in the country, choose cellular polycarbonate with a thickness of 4 millimeters;
a thicker version with parameters of 6-8 millimeters is suitable for canopies, partitions, roofs and awnings on country houses;
10 mm canopies are suitable for designing skylights and noise barriers;
polycarbonate with a thickness of 16 millimeters is suitable for car parks and other areas with a large area.

When planning the construction of such canopies, the parameters of the frames should also be taken into account. If these are longitudinal load-bearing supports, make dimensional increments of up to 70 cm. Transverse supports of panels with a thickness of 8 to 16 millimeters can have increments of up to one meter. For polycarbonate with a thickness of less than 8 millimeters, it can be 70 cm or less.

Some more practical tips on choosing the right material - watch them in the video below:

Polycarbonate construction design

We advise you to focus not only on the design of the entire site, but also on the purpose of such buildings. For example, blue, green and turquoise shades are an excellent option for decorating a canopy erected over a pool. But if you install such a roof in places where trade is carried out, goods will be difficult to see, so this is not the best option for shopping areas.

The design of greenhouse areas is possible using light transparent polycarbonate panels. But in an area where you will rest during the day, such awnings will not protect you from the sun. Here it is better to choose something darker and absorb light, for example, go with blue, black or brown.

We advise you to think through all the details of using such materials so that after completion of construction it does not turn out that the polycarbonate roof causes you discomfort. Look at the pictures of polycarbonate canopy designs: perhaps you will have ideas for their color design.

The main stages of installation in the courtyard of a private house

The process of constructing polycarbonate canopies at the dacha will include several main stages:

clearing the area of debris and excess green space and leveling the site. If this is a finished terrace, you can start working immediately;
creating markings for support posts;
drilling wells with a depth of at least 50 centimeters;
forming a frame for a polycarbonate canopy: installing pillars in wells, straightening using a building level, pouring concrete mixture;
after three days, the solution will harden - and you can start lining the top using the electric welding method;
Next, the transverse elements are attached. Now you can give your structure the planned look (arch, horizontal roof, one or two slopes);
the next stage is grinding and cleaning the welds;
then the frame is primed and painted;
once ready, you can install polycarbonate panels;
Self-tapping screws and washers are used to securely fasten the sheets.

That's the whole process of installing such canopies! Now you can implement the idea of such protective structures anywhere on your site. Choose which type of protective roof is right for you, see photos of polycarbonate canopies - and make your stay as comfortable as possible!

Original design of awnings in the yard

Ecology of consumption. House: A correctly selected canopy design will favorably emphasize all the advantages of the architectural composition and add zest to the natural landscape.

A correctly selected canopy design will favorably emphasize all the advantages of the architectural composition, add zest to the natural landscape, and bring together disparate elements into a common, harmonious ensemble.

In this article we will tell you how to choose the right design, what materials are best to use in different styles, and we will tell you how to decorate the building. In the gallery we will present beautiful canopies in the yard; photo ideas will help you choose an interesting and original solution.

How to choose the right design

Canopies can carry different functional loads:

utility block - summer kitchen, workshop;
place to relax - beautiful gazebos, verandas, terraces, swings;
a combined extension for household needs and spending time pleasantly in nature;
shelter for swimming pools, barbecues, playgrounds, porches, places for waiting for transport;
specialized sheds – parking lot, greenhouse.

Beautiful carport combined with a utility room

Depending on the purpose and size of the area, the installation location is selected:

An independent, free-standing building.
A beautiful extension to a house, garage, bathhouse, fence.
Autonomous mobile mini-structure.

Taken together, three factors: functionality, location, materials - determine the future design of a beautiful building, which is subject to simple rules:

must be combined with landscape design;
do not deviate from the general concept of the style of the architectural ensemble or at least repeat in its contours the bright details of the exterior: arches, columns, etc.;
a canopy can connect several buildings, so it is advisable to make them in the same style.

Beautiful canopies attached to the house should preferably be made in the same design as the main structure

Basic styles

Beautiful canopies for the house, in the photo below you will see successful, ergonomic, original solutions, often made in a classic style. It is better if the house and the extension are made in the same design, from the same materials. For wooden houses, beautiful canopies are built from logs or beams and decorated with carvings, turned balusters, and figured pillars.

Beautiful wooden canopies, simple, laconic designs without fancy details fit perfectly into a façade finished with siding.

For stone and brick buildings, metal canopies decorated with forged elements are relevant.

Urban landscapes, concrete and brick cottages, houses decorated with siding and panels are characterized by an urban style, so canopies in a modern design, with simple, laconic forms, are relevant on sites here. Welded metal structures with pitched, arched and complex-shaped roofs, simple buildings made of timber without elaborate decorations, are ideal.

The highlight of the site will be designs in a rustic style; this design is always original and causes delight. Such structures are easy to build with your own hands, they are budget-friendly, since the material can be found in the forest: trunks, stumps, snags.

Universal solutions in canopy design

Simple wooden and welded metal structures can be safely called universal, suitable for any design in architecture and landscape.

Beautiful carports, the photo clearly demonstrates that even a large structure can organically fit into the overall design of the site if you choose lightweight materials

It is easy to add several characteristic, beautiful, decorative elements to such buildings, and the inexpressive building acquires its own style.

Good to know: Even large buildings with a polycarbonate roof look light and airy, thanks to which they do not clutter up the site, while they are very functional and practical.

How to decorate a canopy

A canopy is a simple architectural form consisting of a frame and a roof. And the entire design is essentially based on the search for original solutions for decorating the structure. We have already mentioned carving, forging, and decorative lattice. Another popular way to decorate a building is to use unusual materials in the design: a thatched roof, shingles, parapet or wicker walls, clay decorations. Depending on the choice of material for decoration, different directions of ethnic style will be traced.

Unusual and beautiful decorative canopies are made from original materials

Climbing plants, beautiful bushes, and vines are well suited for decorating canopies near private houses and in summer cottages. To make the building more closed, you can plant trees with a dense crown along the perimeter.

Plants will decorate the building and create a day

Beautiful curtains will not only decorate the building, but also make it more comfortable. For this purpose, a colored awning, openwork tulle, fabric with patterns, impregnated with water-repellent agents are suitable.

Curtains are beautiful and functional; the design solution is relevant for all types of structures

The structure attached to the house is an important part of the exterior, which is designed to protect the part of the yard used as a recreation area from ultraviolet rays and precipitation. In addition, the structure serves a decorative function and looks like a small area, closed at the top and attached to one side of the wall. This design solution is not only a decoration, but also allows you to expand the usable area of a residential building.

Independent extensions do not always achieve the expected result. To organize a beautiful corner for relaxation, use the services of the Fence-Style company. Experienced specialists will offer exactly those polycarbonate structures that will best equip your garden area. Contact professionals to get a practical and inexpensive solution for organizing your garden plot.

Why canopies made of polycarbonate?

The extension must be strong enough to bear the weight of snow rolling off the roof. Previously, the roof of the structure was covered with slate, galvanized iron or corrugated sheets. Today there is a more interesting alternative - polycarbonate, which has a number of advantages. Fiberglass can be combined with frames made from any building material.

Main characteristics of polycarbonate:

Strength(200 times stronger than glass). Not damaged by stones and hail.

Low weight(20 times lighter than glass). Lightweight three-dimensional structures can be created from fiberglass. Labor intensity the work performed and the cost of the structure will be low.

Flexibility. By taking into account the direction of the internal channels and the bending radius, it is possible to bend the translucent material even at subzero temperatures.

Mobility. An awning can be installed over the front door or cover a certain part of the yard.

Transparency. Regardless of the thickness of the building material, it transmits 80-90% of daylight.

Soundproofing. During rain or hail, the monotonous annoying sound, especially at night, is practically absent.

Heat resistance. Has good performance properties at temperatures -40 - +120 °.

Fire safety. The material does not ignite, eliminating the possibility of fire spreading.

Durability. If installed correctly, the structure will last for several decades.

The polycarbonate from which the canopy is made is easy to process. It can be cut with a saw, drilled and exposed to an angle grinder or jigsaw. It is best to use polycarbonate with UF protection. It has a longer service life, during which the building material does not lose its aesthetic qualities.

Polycarbonate is an excellent solution for those who value the functionality of a building material while being careful with the family budget. Even large canopies with an unusual design solution are quite affordable.

Example from “Fence-style”

Destination area

Structures attached to the house are intended for the following purposes:

Organization of a place for summer holidays.

Vehicle placement.

A harmonious addition to the building design.

Installation of an awning over the area for household needs or barbecue.

Protection from precipitation of the pool, the area in front of the front door, and passages around the house.

Using carbonate, you can create roofs with different configurations - single- and gable-pitched, arched, pyramidal, convex and concave, with a small bending radius. Canopies for the house look much better if you use tinted or colored fiberglass.

Design selection

Before installing canopies to the house, the customer selects a suitable model of the structure.

Destination area and total area of the site.

Intended dimensions of the structure.

Snow and wind loads.

The condition of the foundation and walls of the house.

Features of the building design.

Type of building material (polycarbonate).

After taking into account the main points, a drawing of the canopy is made with the actual dimensions of the length, height and depth of the structure on a certain scale. This is necessary in order to calculate the amount of material that will be used to create the frame and roof.

Installation steps

Attaching the structure to the house is carried out in stages. Compliance with the required technologies is of great importance. Despite the fact that the building material is unpretentious, it is better to entrust this matter to professionals.

First, a suitable location is selected, after which the following actions are performed:

Preparation. Before the structure is attached to the house, extraneous vegetation is removed from the area and the turf is removed to the depth of root germination. The surface of the cleaned area is leveled, fine crushed stone or sand is added, and the upper layers of the soil are compacted.

Installation of supporting structures - four metal pipes. Their diameter depends on the height and area of the extension. Under the metal elements, holes with a cross-section of 20 cm are drilled to a depth of 50-60 cm (until dense soil is reached). The support pitch is 1.0-1.5 m, which depends on the weight of the structure; the heavier it is, the higher the frequency.

Concrete pouring. The finished recesses are filled with crushed stone, racks are installed and a fixative (concrete) is poured. Using a building level, precise vertical installation is controlled, which eliminates the possibility of deformation.

Construction of the deck. Holes are made in the upper part of the pipes with a drill, the roof is tied with slats, which are secured with bolts. The lathing is made, after which polycarbonate is installed. The wooden parts of the structure are impregnated in advance with an antiseptic solution and drying oil. If necessary, painting in the desired color is carried out.

Installation of polycarbonate. After the concrete has set, you can begin to build the canopy itself. To begin with, brackets are installed on the outer wall of the house, onto which a transverse load-bearing beam is attached. The top trim is being carried out. Fiberglass is cut to size and screwed to the sheathing. Holes for fastening are prepared in advance. The sheets are fastened together using an H-shaped profile.

Metal racks are coated with a primer containing zinc phosphate. You can immediately use an aluminum or galvanized profile. The flooring can be made in the form of concrete screed, boards, paving slabs, gravel or sand.

Can I do it myself?

There is essentially nothing complicated about building a canopy. Despite this, the person who takes on such responsibility must have certain skills. You need to understand that in the absence of knowledge of process technology, serious mistakes can be made that will cause a short service life. In addition, safety precautions may be violated, which may lead to an accident in the future.

Entrust the construction of a decorated extension to your home to specialists who have dozens or hundreds of completed works in their arsenal. The presence of a “portfolio” is confirmation that the craftsmen use high-quality building materials and possess all the necessary skills.

You can work with a canopy on your own for several months, while specialists will take no more than 2-4 weeks to complete the entire process. Customers are pleasantly surprised by the low cost of services from professionals who perform their work conscientiously.

In order to avoid problems with the canopy in the coming years, you should follow a number of rules:

Wipe the surface 2-3 times a year using a soft sponge soaked in soapy water. You can use isopropyl alcohol or a high quality solvent such as White Spirit. After removing dirt, the canopy must be rinsed with plenty of water.

Remove leaves and snow from the canopy as needed using a soft broom to prevent damage.

If small cracks appear on fiberglass, be sure to use silicone protective agents.

Do not walk on the canopy under any circumstances, as the sheets may crack. Hard brushes are not suitable for removing dirt because they can leave scratches on the surface of the fiberglass.

Examples of canopies for a house

In small, complex areas, in order to save space and for greater structural stability, sheds are used that serve as an extension to the house. This type of structure is very easy to install and does not take much time or money to install, which explains its popularity. How to install lean-to sheds attached to a house, a photo depicting the stages of installation work, we will consider further.

Important! Before starting all installation work, it is necessary to design the future appearance of the structure: calculate the optimal angle of inclination, length and width parameters, the possibility of connecting communications, determine the location of the fasteners relative to the side of the building, and select blank materials for the roof and frame.

Also, before attaching a canopy to the house, you need to decide on its purpose. If it will be used for household needs (storing equipment, materials, an outdoor office, parking a car), there is no need to spend much money and time on creating an original design. A patio canopy for relaxation involves the choice of more expensive materials and interesting design solutions for the exterior of the structure.

Attention! For an example of installing a lean-to canopy attached to a house, we will choose a wooden structure coated with polycarbonate.

has good strength, moisture and frost resistance;
elastic, affordable, has a wide range of colors;
allows light to pass through but blocks ultraviolet radiation;
able to withstand significant loads under the weight of snow;
durable.

Important! The level of roof load under the weight of snow also depends on the angle of inclination at which the awnings attached to the house will be attached. The layout of the rafter beams (wooden stiffeners) relative to the roof, thanks to which the angle of inclination is adjusted and the strength of the installation of pitched roofs depends, is visible in the photo below. The desired option is selected taking into account the climatic conditions of the region.

shed roof diagram

Canopy installation steps:

dismantle the soil 20-30 cm thick, select an area for wells, the perimeter of the resulting area should be 10-15 cm less than the size of the future roof;
dig holes for installing structural supports 30 cm deep and 1 m apart, fill the bottom of the wells with crushed stone, cover with waterproofing, place and fix the supports in them, fill with concrete;

level the supports, make notches 4 cm deep at their tops to install the support strip;
on the wall of the building and on top of the supports, the upper and lower support strips with notches for the rafters, which determine the angle of inclination of the roof, are installed and fixed with screws;

installation of support strips

rafters with ends cut at an angle are mounted on the support strips using nails driven at an angle of 50°;
a sheathing is installed perpendicular to the rafters, with a board spacing of 10-15 cm, on top of which polycarbonate is attached.

In the process of further design work, depending on the owner’s imagination, beautiful canopies are obtained attached to the house, intended for relaxation. Such work may include installing wooden trellises around the perimeter of the structure, using original lighting, landscaping the adjacent area, partially glazing it, installing flooring, decorating it with furniture, etc.

ready-made beautiful canopy

Important! As a result of decorative finishing works, a canopy should appear, which is a single architectural ensemble with the buildings already existing on the site.

How to attach a canopy to a house: step-by-step instructions

In small, complex areas, in order to save space and for greater structural stability, lean-to sheds are used to serve as an extension to the house.

Sheds attached to the house: photos, varieties, installation stages and design features

An important part of the exterior of a country house is the canopy. It is designed to protect part of the yard from precipitation and ultraviolet rays, and also performs a decorative function. A small area, covered with material on top, consists of sheds attached to the house. Photos of similar structures can be seen in this review. In this case, the supports of the structure are brought to the required height. Attaching to the main structure involves attaching one side of the structure to the wall of the house.

The canopy structure allows you to create a magnificent outdoor recreation area

Selection of materials for the construction of canopies

Sheds attached to the house can be made with your own hands. The photo shows the main stages of installation. The frame of the structure is often made of profiled pipe or timber. This structure is adjacent to the wall and takes on the load from the snow accumulated on the roof.

The attached structure can be made of very durable and massive materials

The roof is usually covered with corrugated sheets, slate or galvanized material. The metal for the frame structure has ductility and strength. It suits different design styles. Such structures can be erected with your own hands.

The extensions are distinguished by their original design

The wood frame system combines well with other materials. Wood suits most architectural designs. Before use, this material should be treated with protective agents. Polycarbonate canopies attached to the house are becoming increasingly popular, photos of which can be viewed on the Internet.

Polycarbonate is easy to assemble and comes in a variety of colors

Polycarbonate enjoys the following advantages:

plastic is characterized by durability. Mechanical impact is not scary for him;
light weight of the material;
polycarbonate transmits light well;
flexibility of the canvas.

Helpful information! When purchasing a design kit for self-assembly, you must check the integrity and strength of all connections.

Convenient designs made from this material can improve the appearance of the main building and cover the area from prying eyes

Sheds attached to the house: photos and design features

Sheds attached to the house, as shown in the photo, can be of two types. These are cantilever models and awnings on supports. The console version can be of any length, but its width should not be more than two meters. Support structures can be used for a variety of purposes.

Awnings on poles are highly durable

Awnings can have different purposes:

extension of the veranda, which is used as a recreation area;

The veranda is especially valuable in open areas where there are no trees

terraces have a larger area and can even be located on the second floor of the building. Such structures can be single-pitch or gable;

The terrace can be much more spacious than the veranda and have an unusual shape

awnings for car protection;

An extension for a car can cover most of the yard area

various awnings: with posts, retractable or basket.

The folding awning is distinguished by its functionality

Features of wooden canopies attached to the house: photos and design solutions

Homeowners often choose wood sheds. Such structures have an excellent set of characteristics:

are distinguished by ease of construction;
can withstand long periods of exposure to the open air, especially when properly processed;
characterized by safety for human health;
have an affordable price.

Helpful information! For comfortable use of the canopy, it is worth taking care of the installation of light and lighting fixtures.

Wooden structures convey a rural flavor and are massive

Options for canopies attached to a house made of corrugated sheets: photos and design features

An awning made of corrugated sheets can be made in various configurations. Single-pitch, gable and arched structures are created from corrugated sheets. In addition, a structure made from this material has the following features:

ease of manufacture;
saving money;
long service life.

Important! A canopy made of corrugated sheets is mounted only with galvanized self-tapping screws that have a rubber seal.

Extensions made from corrugated sheets are reliable and durable

Creating a Project

When choosing a design project, it is worth deciding on the following parameters:

dimensions and purpose of the structure;
plot size;
snow and wind loads;
snow depth and expected annual precipitation;
structural features of the main structure.

A pre-created project allows you to choose the best solution and select high-quality material

Before installation work, a drawing must be completed. Based on the size of the building, the required amount of material is determined.

Helpful information! When creating a carport, it is worth considering the passage of a loaded vehicle.

Preparatory work

Before the planned sheds attached to the house are created, photos of which can be viewed on the website, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. For this purpose, a suitable area is marked out, and trees are uprooted from it. The clean area is leveled. At the same time, sand and gravel are added.

Some durable sheds require a foundation

Recesses are drilled under the canopy supports. And at this stage it is worth considering laying the cable under the lighting sources. A certain step for placing supports is selected. It depends on the weight of the roof and frame part.

The number and placement of racks must be calculated in advance

The stands are lowered into the prepared pits and filled with concrete mixture. The pillars are set according to level.

Important information! If groundwater is located nearby, then the ends of the pillars need to be additionally waterproofed. Metal supports are pre-treated with a primer.

How to make a polycarbonate canopy attached to a house: photos and installation steps

12-15 days after the concrete has completely hardened, you can begin assembling the structure. Brackets are mounted on the wall, and then a transverse beam is mounted on top.

Assembly of the structure requires the preparation of special tools

Creating a sheathing

The top trim is being done. The end parts of the racks are connected using a transverse beam and to each other. In this case, parallel laid profiles are used. The metal frame system is welded together, and the wooden frame system is tightened with steel corners.

The sheathing is attached to the main beam

Welding areas are cleaned, primed and painted. The rafters are mounted with transverse parts in increments of 600 mm. The structure is attached to the supporting beam using steel angles. The sheathing is laid across the rafters and mounted with self-tapping screws.

Roof installation

Sheets of roofing material are cut to size. Then they are attached to the sheathing. Holes for self-tapping screws are first made in the polycarbonate.

When installing a roof, you may need special insurance.

To facilitate water drainage, the cells should be directed downwards. When working with plastic, do not forget to leave gaps between the panels. The dimensions of the holes should be made with a margin of 2-3 mm. There are some features of installing roofs made of other materials.

Roof elements are attached to the sheathing

Wood beams can be used as beams. Over time, cracks may appear in the material, which will reduce the rigidity of the structure. After installing the beams, transverse boards are installed, and then the metal tiles are fastened. Installation of this material is carried out from the bottom sheets. It is worth considering that there should be an overlap of the upper sheets on the lower ones.

Helpful information! After installing the roof, drain gutters are installed. To do this, the required length of the gutter is measured and the excess metal is trimmed with a grinder.

In some cases it will be difficult to install the roof alone

Useful tips

After installing the main extension, you can make a platform. The easiest way is to fill the area with gravel. To do this, the turf is removed, the curb is dug in and crushed stone is poured. Then it needs to be compacted well.

Stylish and durable coating increases comfortable conditions for using the structure

You can also make a platform paved with paving stones or paving slabs. Equipping the site with concrete will be inexpensive.

A high-quality platform allows you to increase the usable area of the yard area

Using available materials and tools, you can create a beautiful canopy with your own hands. Such designs will allow you to build a wonderful place for a family vacation or reliable protection for a car and garden tools.

A beautiful canopy can become part of the building's exterior

Sheds attached to the house: photos and installation secrets

Sheds attached to the house, photos of which can be seen in this review, come in different types and can be made independently using a wide variety of materials.

How to make a canopy for your house with your own hands quickly and cheaply

Thanks to the ease of installation and low cost of polycarbonate, any garden or summer cottage can be decorated with a gazebo or canopy next to the house, as well as covering a terrace or simply creating a relaxation area in the garden.

But the following materials are also often used in work:

Drawing for wooden structure:

Canopy in the corner of the house:

Folding canopy, quite complex design:

Portable tent-type structure:

You can also build a multifunctional and multi-tiered canopy on your personal plot, under which you can not only store a car, but also use it as a playground for children, a place where you can simply relax with your family or in the company of close friends. At the same time, you don’t pay any attention to the vagaries of nature and don’t worry about the fact that unexpected precipitation can ruin the mood of vacationers.

Porch protection:

Fast and inexpensive installation

It takes very little time to install the canopy structure. Moreover, its cost is quite affordable for a family with an average income.

To assemble it, you will need racks made of round or profile metal pipes. Floor trusses are made from a profile pipe of a smaller cross-section. And monolithic or cellular polycarbonate for roofing.

The support posts are welded to metal plates installed in pre-poured foundation columns, or they are simply lowered into dug holes and filled with concrete.
The ceiling forms are electrically welded and mounted on support posts. Their fastening to the racks is also done using electric welding.
Polycarbonate sheets or a metal profile are attached to the trusses themselves using special self-tapping screws equipped with thermal washers.

Advantages

The type (cellular or monolithic) and thickness of polycarbonate used to cover the canopy depends on the complexity of the design and the area of the canopy for a house or garage building. But in any case, the canopy will be quite light.

Low cost, quick assembly and a fairly aesthetic appearance have brought awnings made of polycarbonate and metal profiles widespread popularity among owners of summer cottages, as well as among owners of prestigious country cottages. After all, a well-built canopy can be an addition to any architectural ensemble as a decoration, or as an independent structure.

Low specific gravity.
High impact strength.
Increased fire and heat resistance.
High sound insulation.
Resistant to aggressive weather conditions.
Durability.
Wide design possibilities.

Cellular or monolithic polycarbonate today is a material that can be freely used in a personal plot to cover a gazebo, carport, veranda, instead of glass for greenhouses or greenhouses. City services use it to build stops for passenger transport.

This material, as a glass substitute, has high performance properties and is completely environmentally friendly. Polycarbonate goes well with light metal frames, emphasizing their lightness and modern shaped appearance.

When using polycarbonate, it does not require special attention. To maintain its condition, it is enough to wash off the dust from it with a stream of water, and, if necessary, simply renew the metal structure by painting.

More information about corrugated sheets

There are three types of buildings:

This material has the following characteristics:

Ideal for fire safety.
Does not contain substances harmful to humans and animals.
Strength and durability.
Temperature changes or aggressive environmental influences are not scary.
Ultraviolet light is not scary. Moreover, protective paints will retain their colors for a long time.

The only disadvantage is the complexity of some designs. Because for an arch on the roof it is necessary to bend the supporting profile into an arc. Without the necessary equipment, iron cannot be given such a shape, and when faced with such a problem, they give preference to cellular polycarbonate. Approximately, this is the drawing:

Multifunctional extension to the house

Canopies made of polycarbonate with a transparent roof are very popular among car enthusiasts today. These elegant and quite attractive-looking lightweight structures are designed to protect cars from exposure to direct ultraviolet sunlight, which adversely affects the paintwork.

They also protect the car from the effects of precipitation in the form of snow, hail and rain. Such a shed, built on a personal plot or country house, can completely replace an expensive capital garage. By increasing the area by several meters, you can not only keep the vehicle dry, but also take care of a modest area for children's games.

Estimated cost

Small turnkey structures for the central region will cost the owners of dachas or cottages in the amount of 60 to 70 thousand rubles.

And the areas covered by such a roof can accommodate up to two cars cost about 130 thousand rubles.

These are quoted prices from popular companies so all the work gets done in a day or two and corresponds to the selected projects.

Thanks to the ease of installation and low cost of materials, any garden or summer cottage can be decorated with a canopy over a swimming pool or playground, covered with a terrace or just a relaxation area in the garden. All these buildings, covered with transparent polycarbonate or metal sheets, will take on a more attractive and elegant appearance, where you can comfortably spend your leisure time.

But canopies coated with polycarbonate deserve more attention. They are simple frame structures that can be quickly and easily installed either adjacent to a living space or on the site. Polycarbonate, being a rigid but at the same time flexible material, allows you to install canopies of the most intricate shapes.

A very inexpensive canopy option

The video below shows the process of making a quick and very cheap canopy. True, commentators quite rightly noted that this is not an option for the middle zone and will not withstand even an average snow load, and the service life of such a canopy will be no more than a year.

How to make a canopy for your house with your own hands quickly and cheaply

What kind of canopy in the courtyard of a private house can be made with your own hands cheaply and quickly? Let's consider all the materials and designs that will save money and at the same time

Canopy attached to the house: photos of different types and configurations of canopies

Country housing in the modern sense is a combination of privacy, peace and closeness to nature. The design of a good cottage immediately includes a place for a recreation area. This could be a patio, a gazebo or a canopy attached to the house: photos of canopies can be viewed in our gallery. Utility structures of this kind decorate the estate and expand the usable area of the home.

Canopy on metal supports with sloping roof

Materials for the construction of sheds

Frames for attached structures are made mainly of wooden beams or profiled steel pipe. But brick, stone, and asbestos-cement pipes filled with reinforced concrete are often used for these purposes. It all depends on the purpose of the canopy and the expected load on the frame.

The canopy attached to the house (photo can be found on the Internet) is adjacent to the wall, taking on the weight of the snow rolling off the roof. To withstand such serious loads, the base of the extension must be strong enough.

Canopy with high gable roof made of polycarbonate

The roof of the extension is usually covered with slate, corrugated sheets, or galvanized iron. But today the construction market offers a more interesting alternative - a polycarbonate canopy attached to the house. Photos of similar structures confirm that fiberglass is ideally combined with frames made of any materials. For canopies, cellular sheets 6-8 mm thick are used.

Massive stone columns were installed for the canopy.

The main advantages of polycarbonate:

strength. Plastic is 200 times stronger than glass. He is not afraid of hammer blows, hail, stones;
light weight. The material is 20 times lighter than glass. This allows you to create voluminous but lightweight structures, reduces the labor intensity of work and the cost of construction;
transparency. Thermoplastic of different thicknesses transmits from 80% to 95% of natural light;
flexibility. Cellular polycarbonate is the only translucent material that can be bent at subzero temperatures. The main thing here is to take into account the permissible bending radius and the direction of the internal channels.

Polycarbonate canopy over plastic doors

It is also important that the transparent polymer is easy to process. It can be drilled, cut with a saw, grinder, or jigsaw.

Helpful advice! DFor canopies you need to take polycarbonate with U.F.- protection, otherwise the material under the sun will quickly become cloudy and lose flexibility.

Shed attached to the house: photos of structures

Canopies attached to the house (photos are available on specialized resources) are divided into two groups: canopies on consoles and awnings installed on permanent supports.

Sliding canopy structure with steel guides

Cantilever models can be as long as desired along the facade of the building, but should not exceed 2 m in width so that the wind does not tear them out of the wall. The purpose of such products is to protect doors from the sun and precipitation, as well as to improve the appearance of the building. Forged and carved canopies in combination with the entrance group can transform the facade.

The canopy is covered with a soft roof

Support canopies are designed for the following purposes:

arrangement of a place for summer recreation;
protection from precipitation of the area in front of the entrance, swimming pool, passages around the house;
vehicle placement;
awning over the barbecue area;
sheds for household needs.

The use of polycarbonate allows you to create roofs of various configurations - single-pitch, gable, pyramidal, arched, concave and convex with a small bending radius. The design of the canopy can be improved by using colored or tinted fiberglass.

Wooden beam canopy

Project development

When planning the installation of a canopy attached to the house, photos of finished projects must be viewed in advance. The choice of design depends on several criteria:

purpose and intended dimensions of the object;
total area of the site;
wind and snow loads;
annual precipitation;
snow depth;
condition of the walls and foundation of the building;
house design;
availability of materials, tools and fasteners, as well as construction skills, if the work will be carried out on their own.

Canopy with ceiling lighting

Next, they make a drawing of the canopy attached to the house (photos confirm this), putting down the actual dimensions of the height, length and depth of the structure. Based on this, the amount of material to create the frame and roof is determined.

Standard carport dimensions:

250x500 cm for a machine up to 4 meters long;
350x660 cm for SUVs and cars longer than 4 m.

Helpful advice! A vehicle with a load on top must be able to drive under the canopy freely. But if the roof height exceeds 230 cm, precipitation will inevitably fall on the car. There is a way out - you need to change the angle of the roof.

Attached carport

Preparatory work

If all the above aspects are taken into account, you can begin preparing the site for construction. The marked area is cleared, trees and bushes are uprooted. The existing turf is removed to the depth of root germination. The cleaned area is leveled by adding sand or small gravel and compacted.

Canopies and awnings over the entrance: photos with impressive style. Original and practical canopies and awnings over the entrance: styles and shapes. Color solutions and advantages. Canopy over the porch.

Under the supports of the canopy attached to the house (the photos clearly demonstrate this), holes are drilled with a cross-section of 20 cm and a depth of 50-60 cm (to dense soil). At this stage, it is necessary to provide for laying the cable under the lighting fixtures. The pitch of the supports depends on the area of the extension, as well as on the frame material and the weight of the roof. The heavier the structure, the more frequent the pitch of the pillars (on average every 1-1.5 m). The advantage of such a base is that it does not need to be connected to the main foundation of the building.

A bucket of crushed stone is poured into the finished recesses, vertical posts are installed in them and filled with concrete. Each pillar is leveled. The second option is to concrete the embedded parts with brackets in the pits, and the pillars are already fixed in them.

The materials should also be prepared before installation: the wood is impregnated with an antiseptic, dried or painted in the chosen color. The lumber chosen is dry and must be sanded, otherwise woodworms will quickly appear under the bark.

Canopy on wooden supports

Helpful advice! EIf the house is located in a lowland, the ends of the wooden supports are additionally waterproofed (wrapped in a polyethylene or roofing felt jacket and filled with hot bitumen).

Metal racks must be coated with a primer that contains zinc phosphate. It’s better to immediately purchase a galvanized or aluminum profile.

While the concrete in the pits is gaining strength, you can install a floor covering for the shed.

Installation of a polycarbonate canopy attached to the house

After waiting a certain time for the concrete to set (10-15 days, depending on the air temperature), we begin assembling the structure. First, several brackets are attached to the outer wall of the house where the polycarbonate canopy will be attached. A load-bearing transverse beam is mounted on them.

Polycarbonate canopy attached to the house

Canopy sheathing

Next, the top trim is made. The ends of the concreted vertical pillars are connected first to the transverse beam, then to each other. This is done using parallel laid profiles. If the frame is metal, the parts are welded; if it is wooden, they are tightened with steel corners. Welding seams are cleaned, primed and painted.

Installation of crossbar and frame

The rafters are attached to the crossbars in 60 cm increments. The connection to the load-bearing beam attached to the wall is made using steel angles. The lathing is laid across the rafters, with a distance of 30 cm, and secured with self-tapping screws. Diameter of timber for frame:

Racks - 120×120 mm.
Cross beams - 100×100 mm.
Rafters - 70×70 mm.
Lathing - 50×50 mm.

Arrangement of sheathing for a canopy

Section of the steel profile for the frame:

Roof installation

Sheets of fiberglass are cut to size and screwed to the sheathing, having previously drilled holes in them for fasteners. In this case, you need to make sure that the plastic cells are directed downward - to drain condensate. Self-tapping screws must have a rubber thermal washer. The sheets themselves are connected to each other by an H-shaped profile.

Laying polycarbonate on the sheathing

When covering a polycarbonate canopy attached to a house (photos can be seen in various magazines), it is necessary to follow the rules for pairing compression seams. Simply put, you need to leave small gaps between the panels so that the polymer can expand freely when heated. The dimensions of the holes for fasteners should also have a margin of 2-3 mm. The protective film is removed from the sheet after installation is completed.

Completing the canopy installation

The finished canopy does not require special care. It is enough to wash the plastic with clean water from time to time so that it will serve its 50 years without fail.
