For a country house fit 20 - or 40-foot metal containers. This capacity will be cheaper if you buy decommissioned equipment. If the house plan to use for several years, it is desirable to establish a Foundation.
For homes from the container the optimal choice would be pier Foundation. It can be built in situ or prefabricated supports. In the first case, use blocks of FBS, the optimum size is the length from 0.9 to 2.4 m, the cross section is 0.4 m. Trade posts build of brick. Support deepened by the depth of soil freezing.
If the soil at the site is dense, malovlazhnyh and sustainable (clay, loam, rocky), the container can be set on the leveled pad. But to compensate for the forces of frost heaving of soil is recommended to make the sand-gravel dumping or stacked tires filled with soil, sand, broken bricks.
After the installation of the container on the Foundation are defined by the location of doors and Windows. In the right places draw the line of openings and cut metal with a gas torch. Then establish window and door blocks. Then coated with a metal anticorrosion impregnation or paint.
The next step is the installation and insulation of the floor. As a rule, containers made of plywood, impregnated with antiseptic compositions, laid on a metal base. On the plywood you need to install the joists. For this purpose, take the beam cross-section of 10/10 cm or Board section 10/5 see Lumber attached to the floor with anchors or bolts.
Then carry out the insulation of the floor. Can be used for this bulk material: clay, river sand, sawdust. But the best choice is the foam thickness of 10 cm (the height of the Arab League). All voids formed after stacking insulation material, fill the water - and frost-resistant construction foam.
The walls and ceiling are insulated with foam or mineral wool. At first mount a framework of wooden bars or metal sheets. Vertical posts must be installed with a pitch of 40-45 cm At the intervals between them lay the insulator, then make the lining of the walls and ceiling. For these purposes you can use plasterboard, OSB, plastic panels, molded Board.
Next, build a pitched roof. Start with the device roof system. Over boards farm lay waterproofing material: the roofing material. Then mount roof covering: slate, Onduline, metal, profiled sheets.
