Build a house from 6x6 timber. Large selection from the construction company "Kudesnik"

A large number of people want to take a break from the bustle of the city in their summer cottage, contemplating nature, and growing fresh vegetables. However, not everyone is able to purchase a ready-made country cottage. More often, citizens buy land and build a small 6x6 country house with their own hands. However, such buildings do not always provide the required coziness and comfort. Therefore, the planning of a 6x6 country house with a stove is carried out thoroughly, taking into account all the wishes of the residents.

House 6 by 6 in the country

A house in the country is the dream of millions who want to leave the polluted city on a day off and breathe clean air, relax. However, construction is a complex process that consists of several stages. Each is important in its own way.

The first point is the layout of the country house; beauty, comfort, convenience, and safety depend on it. Some people order a drawing or a building project from a special company that deals with design. This is a good solution - the project customer indicates all the wishes to the experts, and they bring them to life, creating a project for a dream country house.

Regardless of the complexity of the project or the wishes of the owner, after some time (depending on the workload of the specialists) the customer is provided with designs of country houses to choose from. Of these the owner summer cottage chooses the one he likes.

The services of building planning specialists have their drawback - the high cost of services, which many will not afford. Then the owners independently draw up the layout of the house. In principle, it is simple, but many different factors must be taken into account.

Simple building plan

A summer cottage plot today is a place for growing vegetables and fruits, a place for recreation in nature and fresh air. For this case, a simple shed for storing garden tools is not suitable. The main requirements for a country house have been formulated today:

The size is sufficient to accommodate a kitchen with equipment, a bedroom with a TV, furniture, a terrace (veranda) with a barbecue;
The building is electrified;
Heating is installed to make it possible to stay in the winter;
The house is small but roomy.

Start of design

An important issue in the construction of a 6 by 6 country house is the choice of building materials. Today, a variety of building materials are used with their own advantages and disadvantages. However, you should decide whether the dacha will be used in winter.

The choice of material and layout depend on this fact. After all, in the summer there is no need to heat the room and think about maintaining heat in the room. Such a house is cheaper, and construction takes place quickly (in a matter of days).

When your plans include a winter vacation, you need to approach the choice of building materials responsibly. You should also think about insulating the room to prevent heat loss. After making a final decision on this issue, they begin to select building materials and draw up a plan.

Materials used in construction

Popular wall material

Today, there are a lot of materials on the construction market for the construction of country houses - foam concrete, brick, wood and others. They all differ in cost and characteristics.

Frame construction

Frame one-story house

This is a profitable way of construction if you don’t build complex structures. The lion's share of work is carried out by builders when creating a building kit. Then it takes a couple of days to build the structure itself.

For such a 6x6 country house, a lightweight foundation is used, since the material itself is not considered heavy, and the load on the foundation is small.

Attention! The only drawback of the material is its low thermal insulation due to the thin walls of the house. Therefore, to use it in winter, a layer of insulating material is applied on the inside. This entails additional costs and reduced space. Therefore, a frame dacha is a solution for a summer house.

Wooden house

They live in a wooden house all year round. The timber has good thermal insulation and sound insulation, which is appreciated by people who want to take a break from the metropolis. This material is popular especially in those regions where the woodworking industry is developed and a country house made of 6x6 timber is inexpensive.

Timber structure

The material is lightweight, which makes it possible to do without a heavy, costly foundation. In winter, the house is easy to heat - just heat it for a few hours and the temperature rises to a comfortable level. This material is considered environmentally friendly - it is in harmony with nature.

However, wood is susceptible to rotting and is a fire hazard. The tree requires constant care. Therefore, if no one visits the dacha for a couple of months, the wood will begin to rot. This fact is taken into account when choosing material for the construction of a 6 by 6 building.

House made of foam concrete

Foam block is a lightweight, inexpensive, warm and durable material. Its light weight makes it possible to use a cheap strip foundation. It does not rot and does not burn. In winter, it keeps the house warm well, which makes it possible to refuse additional heating. It can be easily processed with a hacksaw. It is used to build ordinary houses and those with an attic.

A 6 by 6 country house made of foam blocks has a neat geometric shape. It is convenient to build walls from this material and it is done quickly. And if you also insulate it, the house will be very warm.

This material is not visually attractive, thereby scaring off potential owners. In conditions of high humidity, foam concrete must be additionally treated with protective agents, otherwise it will begin to quickly deteriorate. Another disadvantage is that a house made of foam concrete takes a long time to heat in winter.

Brick house

Building bricks for a small 6x6 country house are considered quite expensive. The material is expensive. Its construction requires an expensive monolithic foundation. Construction of a house takes a long period of time. This material is more suitable for building a house where you plan to spend most of your time.

Before designing a country house, they seriously think about it, weigh all the pros, cons, conditions of use of the country house, and choose an effective building material.

Country house foundation

Base for the house

Of great importance in the construction of 6 x 6 country houses is the foundation of the house, which depends on the chosen material for the walls and the characteristics of the soil of the summer cottage. Most often, a frame house or a timber structure is erected on a screw, columnar foundation.

Attention! A columnar foundation is not made in the presence of a high groundwater level or soil friability. In this case, a strip foundation is installed.

Roof of a country house

Creating a roof is an individual process that depends on the wishes of the owner and his financial capabilities. Used for roofing various material: slate, metal, wood, metal tiles and others.

More often they tend to build houses with an attic, which provide additional space for use as another room. However, if this is not possible, then they make an ordinary attic. A pitched roof is not suitable for a 6*6 country house - it is more practical to build high gables and arrange an attic.

You can choose any roofing material, but it is optimal to use metal tiles. It has an acceptable cost and makes a strong, reliable roof that does not heat up as much as, for example, slate.

Layout of rooms in the house

An important aspect of the design and construction of a 6x6 country house is the plans of the rooms, their location, and quantity. For 2 people there is enough kitchen and bedroom. If more residents are planned to stay, then two bedrooms are made.

Very often they choose a country house with a 6x6 attic in order to equip another room there. However, care should be taken to install a layer of thermal insulation using foil insulation. Then in the evening the room will be cool.

Also, in order to save space on the land for growing vegetables and fruits, many choose two-story house designs. In both cases, a strong, powerful foundation should be provided.

Layout of rooms in a country house with a 6x6 terrace

It is very important to understand that the kitchen and bedrooms must be separated. This is confirmed by practice. On a hot summer day you always want to hide in a cool room. In a house, this is most often a bedroom separate from the kitchen. After all, if they are combined, then when cooking food the temperature in the room rises, but not in a separate room.

Some owners make three rooms - they make a vestibule where you can leave your work clothes. This solution will help combat excessive heating of the room in summer and heat loss in winter.

If the layout of the house is built without a vestibule, it is more practical to install the front door in the kitchen. The bedroom will not lose coolness during the day when people enter and leave the building. Installing doors in the kitchen will help to ventilate it as much as possible after preparing food or making jam. There should also be a door between the kitchen and bedroom that acts as a thermal barrier. The location of the rooms itself is chosen according to the preferences of the owner.

Important! The layout of the premises is related to the construction of the foundation for the house, so it is very important to decide on such issues as the presence of stairs and a stove.

In 6x6 country house projects, special stoves with a fireplace can be located:

in the middle of the room (provides proper heating of the premises);
near the far wall (heats one room);
anywhere (when another type of heating is supposed to be used).

Very often, for clarity of the future project, modern graphic programs are used that show the project in volume.

By choosing the right material for your country house, making a rational, practical placement of rooms inside the house, choosing a heating method, the construction of the house will be carried out efficiently and quickly. Then the owner will be able to enjoy outdoor recreation away from the hustle and bustle and noise.

Housing made from inexpensive frame-panel structures is built quickly and is relatively inexpensive. 6 by 6 frame house projects are extremely popular. The fact is that the ratio of all important indicators(construction price, usable area of housing) of these objects was recognized as optimal.

Already from the name of the object we can conclude that it is a rigid frame, which is sheathed on the outside. The possibility of quick construction and the low cost of such a home have long made this type of construction extremely popular.

There are some nuances that you should pay special attention to:

Not a very good indicator of environmental cleanliness. It consists of the following: synthetic, a large number of adhesive composition, products for wooden elements. Responsible material manufacturers carefully monitor the content of harmful formaldehyde when using the substances they require. When working with unfamiliar suppliers, it is difficult for the average consumer to recognize various technologies for disrupting the manufacturing process.
A one-story house 6 by 6 is almost impossible to remodel. It is manufactured in a factory according to the selected design, and once the work is completed, changes are not possible. Do-it-yourself “corrections,” or corrections, can have a significant impact on the overall safety of a structure. In this regard, homemade panel elements have certain advantages: they are easier to correct or replace if necessary.
The frame is made of wood, and like any type of wood, it is a rather capricious material. The insulation placed inside the walls serves as a bait for various kinds of rodents and pests. This can be easily solved - with a certain amount chemical substances. But as noted above, this does not at all improve the quality of the environmental friendliness of the building.
Panels 6 6 have quite an impressive weight. Accordingly, to simplify the assembly of the frame, it is important to use technology and a qualified approach. When constructing yourself, it is also important to strictly follow all recommendations, strictly following the existing plan. Otherwise, not only the appearance building, but also its safety.

We build it ourselves

How possible is it to build a 6 by 6 with a veranda without involving professionals, and without using factory “semi-finished products” for construction? In fact, this is quite possible; moreover, it is a frequently used practice.

Project

House project

Without careful detail it is impossible to build even a simple one. Without the necessary package of papers, any erected structure is doomed to demolition, sooner or later. The point is not that they want to rip off additional money from you, and not in someone’s tyranny. The reason lies elsewhere - without the research of qualified professionals, even frame structure projects can pose a real threat to the safety of people.

On initial stage Before starting work, you will have to contact the architectural department or design bureau for a project or drawing of a frame house.

There, specialists will analyze your specific situation regarding technical specifications, the preferred type, layout and even the external appearance of the future home, they will make the necessary calculations for a frame house.

When permission is obtained, a verified and competent project is approved much more successfully than a clumsy homemade sketch or sketch.

Material: what to prefer?

Building a house with your own hands

It’s probably not worth explaining that the final result of construction work directly depends on the quality of the selected raw materials:

For the manufacture of the frame, certain sizes are selected. Its cross-section must be such as to withstand the expected loads at any time of the year. Most suitable material cross section from 20 centimeters. This type is usually used in the construction of winter-type dwellings.
What to choose for the construction of durable and? What materials are optimal for a 6 by 6 frame house? This could be, for example, fiberboard or. Their main difference lies in the components - more or less large sawdust. Double or special extruded is used as a filler.
The design is also frame. You can use a lighter one with a smaller cross-section. Particular attention is paid to its quality: it should not have any flaws, even natural origin. Roof design features are dominant when choosing. The point is the angle of inclination: the material should be more structural, the steeper the roof slope.

All wooden elements of a 6 by 6 frame house must be properly prepared before being used. Impregnation and treatment with various protective compounds will protect the tree from pests and damage.

House foundation

A neat frame house is much lighter in weight than a similar-sized structure made of solid logs or bricks.

For this reason, it does not require a monolithic foundation. What could it be?

All columnar bases have one important drawback - a cold floor in the room. To avoid such trouble, you will have to pay attention to its thorough insulation.

Walls

A frame house can be compared to a kind of multi-layered pie, consisting of many different layers, including protective ones.

main of ;
indispensable;
panel made of wood-based materials;
required layer ;
lathing, one of the types of decorative.

Inside, under the chipboards, it is placed. Its role can be played by a special diffuse membrane. The design of such a “pie” is easy to make with your own hands. The layers can be installed in stages, or you can make them in advance, and only then insert the completed panels into their intended place.

Rafters

The structure of a frame house does not differ from that for roofs of objects that are heavier in weight. The system is the same - a set of trusses, rafters, and gables.

It was noted above that the magnitude of the slope angle determines the nature of the material. In order for snow to easily fall off the roof without lingering on it, it is better to use options with metal for covering - or.

DIY installation: common mistakes

Before starting construction work, it would be a good idea to evaluate your own strengths. Amateur builders who do not have professional skills often make fatal mistakes, the consequences of which can be more serious than it seems at first glance. This not only reduces the operational comfort of the home, but even its collapse in extreme cases. What is important?

Wood for construction must be of proper quality. Wood of normal humidity, or factory-dried, deforms much less, thereby ensuring structural strength. This provision does not apply to untreated, raw whips. What are the risks of using unprepared or substandard material?

The frame is the basis of the entire structure. Consequently, torsion, bending or increased stress of any element will cause deformation of the entire structure. Both small and partial destruction, and complete collapse of the entire structure are possible. How to identify defects during purchase? The edges of such beams can be dirty and crooked; if iodine is dropped onto the surface, it will turn blue.

The quality of a frame house also depends on the price of the preferred materials. It’s better not to skimp on the rigidity of the frame; it may end up costing you more. Diagonal elements located between upright supports serve as structural reinforcement. Saving on them is strictly contraindicated, even if a very small house is planned.

It is necessary to take into account the loads coming from above: the weight of the structure, weather conditions, shrinkage. To increase strength, you can make additional crosswise reinforcements.

Is it possible to properly arrange window and door openings with your own hands? This is also an important part of the job. The shrinkage of the frame is noticeably less than that of log walls or walls, but it still exists. If you do not take this into account, you can introduce some risks in subsequent operation.

But the main advantage of this type of construction is that much less construction and finishing materials will be spent during the construction of the facility. And therefore money from the family budget.

What to consider when planning

When starting work on drawing up estimate documentation before starting construction work, the foreman needs to understand the following:

what purposes is the future 6x6 house with an attic intended for?
how many people will permanently reside in it;
will there be guests staying there?

An example of correct and incorrect attic layout

The first point implies the following: will such a building be intended for permanent residence of the whole family, or will people come to it only for a while (for the summer season, for example). If we're talking about oh, then the project needs to provide for the features inherent in this type of building. If this is a permanent home for the whole family, then project documentation this must be taken into account.

It is important to know for how many residents it is being built. If this is a family of three, then the number of private and common rooms will be the same. In the case where the family consists of four or more people, the location of the rooms and their number will be completely different. In addition, the layout of a 6 by 6 house should also take into account the possibility of accommodating potential guests.

They will need a separate room and, quite likely, with its own separate room. This also needs to be taken into account when drawing up documentation.

Project and materials

In drawing up the estimate, an important role is played by taking into account the materials that the owner intends to use for the construction of his 6 by 6 house with an attic.
For this type of building they use:

brick or cinder block;
foam concrete blocks;
concrete;
wood (logs or beams);
SIP panels.

Considering that the attic combines a full-fledged residential floor and, its weight is much less than the mass of building materials that will be spent on the construction of a standard second floor. Therefore, for the construction of a country house, in which seasonal residence is expected, the owners most often choose building material wood. It should be noted that purchasing solid beams and beams of such length is very problematic.

Since the possibilities for building rooms with such a modest size are limited, the first thing to give up in such a house is the corridor. Without using it, you can free up quite a lot of space for building more popular rooms.

In addition, you will be able to save on laying communications, since everyone will be closer to each other. To increase the space in a country house, it is worth thinking at the design stage about having several levels in the building.

Thanks to this project, you will be able to effectively plan the entire living space into functional zones - rooms for relaxation or active activities. The most convenient location for rooms such as the first floor is considered.

In addition, at this level it is worthwhile to locate common areas, such as a recreation room or a staircase to the upper floor. For the second level best choice There will be a recreation area, which includes a sleeping area, as well as a second bathroom.

But the design of the floors directly depends on how many people will live in the small building. If there are only two of you there, then the second level is best left for furnishing one spacious bedroom. For a building project for occupancy big family best to use classic version organization of housing, which includes the presence of several bedrooms with more modest sizes.

Layout option for all floors of a 6x6 house

The classic distribution of space into living areas includes a plan in which the first floor is entirely dedicated to active rooms, such as a kitchen, dining room or hallway. In addition, rooms with different functionality can be combined into one room, which will help save space without losing all the buildings necessary for life.

Such combined construction will help create a feeling of more space. In order for a spacious room, which has been divided into several functional areas, to be properly decorated, it should be furnished in a special way.

Using these tips will help decorate your country home and make it more practical and convenient. It is worth thinking about the correct location of the rooms in relation to each other. For example, the kitchen in your house should be as close as possible to the space, as well as the toilet and hallway. This is especially true if you need to bring heavy bags of groceries into the house.

And a nearby bathroom will allow you to save on water supply communications, and will also reduce the number of wet areas in the building.

Which leads to the second floor. In some cases, it is moved to the dining room if it also serves as a living room.

It should be remembered that the minimum width for a staircase is 1 meter. This will allow you to normally go up and down the steps and disperse without fear of injury. The kitchen and dining room are separated by a small partition or have only a visual division into zones. This can be achieved with the help of lighting, in addition, finishing materials of different colors and textures.

In a number of projects, the kitchen and living room do not have a common passage, which implies a separation of the functions of the room. In this case, the last room can also be used to accommodate guests.

The dimensions of the kitchen in the project are 3 x 3 meters, and the living room - 3 x 6 meters. The bathroom in a building of this size is usually small. It includes a shower and toilet. If one of the family members works from home, the layout of the first floor may include an office. Then the dimensions of the rooms can vary, remaining on the plan within the average size of 3 x 3 meters.
