To build a storage shed in the garden in the design and creativity. Most of the wooden sheds built when built from scratch, others shed kits are assembled and are usually constructed of metal or plate. However, some buildings are built using bricks, because the owner wants to meet the construction of the house, or because the owner thinks they have added strength to the structure.
Maybe you remember the story of the three little pigs and is afraid of the big bad wolf blew down the outside shed. However, a brick shed outlast a traditional wooden barn, where neither the structure is maintained.
Look, if you maintain your shed or building it just fine. For this reason, and for this reason, I would recommend building a brick shed in it, and only then if the decision is aesthetic, not structural. Any well-constructed shed holds more life if you need to be properly maintained.
Nevertheless, here is a short five-step building of a brick warehouse building or shed in the garden.
Step 1
The first step in any building project is to determine the location of the shed. Make sure you select a location that is relatively flat, good drainage, not directly to the property line, not too close to the trees, which can cause problems on the barn roof or foundation (remember large tree roots under the surface). Also, be sure to shed the foundation does not interfere with any electrical cables or water pipes. Non-observance of any of them, and you have a potentially costly problem on your hands.
Another thing to think about at this stage is that it is absolutely certain that the shed design meets local building codes and zoning ordinances. The best way to do this is to apply for a license. In some cases, if you live in a planned community, you may need permission to build a shed in the Home Owner’s Association. Do not make the mistake of not asking because the HOA has broad powers to take decisions when satisfying.
Step 2
If all the approvals and permits are obtained it is time to clean the area where the shed will be built. Remove debris, roots, weeds, rocks and other obstacles. Also on the ground if necessary. A chalk line or stake, to draw a sketch of the shed footprint on the earth.
Step 3
It’s time to start digging. Your task is to create a foundation for the shed. Building a strong foundation determines the strength and stability of the shed and a step that should not be taken lightly. Depending on where you live, you have to dig to a depth below which the frost line. This ensures that the shed does not swell due to ground heave due to freezing-induced expanding soil. The minimum depth of eight inches and a solid foundation in most areas requires no more than thirty-six inches. It is best to check with your local building department to know the exact depth of digging. You can rent a small back hoe or trenching machine or hire an experienced excavator to do this step for you. You want the bottom of the trench level all the way around.
The outer ditch should be about an inch beyond the outline of the building and should be 4-6 inches wide. Now using 2×6 lumber and stakes, create a form extending above the ground level.
Step 4:
It’s time to pour the concrete foundation. Pour the concrete level about 2-3 inches above the ground. Unless the martyrs call your local concrete supplier and order a truck in the right amount of yardage to fill the hole. Tell me your company and I will tell you the size you need. Consult the mix necessary strength and stability of the area. Make sure that the top of the foundation is relatively level, although it is not to be perfectly smooth. Allow the concrete to set. It takes about 24 hours out of the mold, but do not throw the material away. Then again it door frames and other things such as ceiling beams. Normally this is the time to call the first test. To do so before you proceed.
Now it is the time to pour a concrete slab floor of the shed. Again, call the concrete supplier and tell her size. 3-4 inch slab sufficient purpose. We also want to buy some rebar or wire mesh to the strength and stability of the floor.
Step 5:
Now mark the foundation walls rude door openings making sure that responsible for the finished openings size and go wide enough to fit the size. Also, if you add windows, make sure to leave openings where the rough opening as well.
apart the bricks on the ground and adjust the level of string around each wall of the shed. Mix a batch of mortar (mortar rent a your local home center), and apply a layer of mortar to accommodate the foundation bricks of about 5-7. Lay bricks one by making sure that level. Use the string as a guideline. Repeat the entire foundation wall. As you build layers repeat the same idea, but put the bricks, so space them centered between two bricks below. Repeat until it reaches the height of the building.
The door and window openings you have to insert a header across the top of the slot, so over the bricks will remain in place. You can use a thin steel headers and a piece of 4×4 timber to act as a header. Do not skip this step.
The final step is to build the roof. This is a common shed construction activity, so I will not go into that here. When you build a storage building bricks need to pay attention to the details of the construction process. Follow these steps and you’ll have a strong brick shed.
