The best material for building a garage for storing vehicles or repairing them remains red brick, which is warm, durable and very expensive. Thanks to modern materials It's easiest to build today concrete garage, in terms of comfort, quality of construction and thermal insulation, it is not much inferior to brick competitors. Moreover, building a concrete garage with your own hands will be faster and cheaper.
Concrete garage design options
- Casting concrete mortar into reusable, adjustable formwork;
- Construct from slabs and concrete blocks that are suitable in size for the garage structure. This is the most difficult option for constructing a concrete garage, since heavy concrete slabs and blocks must be tied and laid out so that the building does not collapse under its own weight, like a house of cards;
- Buy a ready-made garage in the form of a set of concrete slabs and assemble the building in one or two days.
Important! In any case, before starting work, you will need to consult a specialist with legal experience correct design documents for ownership of the property, which will be the garage you built.
How to proceed with paperwork
The most common mistake in business capital construction is haste in making decisions. Often the desire to acquire as quickly as possible real estate pushes people to do rash actions, for example, before the rights to a land plot are fully properly registered, concrete slabs and blocks are delivered, and in a couple of days the garage is ready. As soon as the construction is completed, the legal owner appears and, through the court, takes away the brand new garage.
Paperwork is an even more difficult and lengthy process, requiring patience and the ability to talk with officials:
- At the stage of selecting and registering a site for the construction of a garage, it is necessary to begin by clarifying the information in the BTI about whether the site is “clean”, whether there are court prohibitions on its purchase, use or rental;
- If a garage space is purchased in the form of joining a garage cooperative, a certificate from the BTI plus a decision of the local government on the allocation of a specific site for construction will be required;
- To purchase land, you will need to allocate a plot of land from general plan, pay for the implementation of the project for identifying and describing the boundaries, withdraw the site from the cooperative lease agreement, and only after that draw up a purchase and sale agreement.
For your information! The received 49-year lease agreement or certificate of ownership will be the basis for the start of construction.
If you go the opposite way, build a concrete garage and try to get it recognized as a residential premises through the court, the process of legally registering it as your property may drag on indefinitely. Unlike even buildings made of corrugated sheets or sandwich panels, stone walls and the foundation will be the basis for considering your future garage a capital building and real estate.
Building a concrete garage
For any garage design from concrete materials it is necessary to make a full-fledged capital foundation. It is better to use a slab, or, in extreme cases, a shallow one. If a basement, storage facility or inspection hole, you will need to lay the tape to the depth of soil freezing. The heavier the building, the stronger the foundation will be required.
For example, a standard-sized garage of 4.0x6.25 m, with a ceiling height of 2.25 m, assembled from slabs 12 cm thick, depending on the method of reinforcement and the presence of thermal insulation voids, weighs from 12 to 18 tons. With a foundation strip length of 21 m and a width of 0.3 m, the load will be from 2000 to 3000 kg/m2, so on weak soils or heavily watered soils it is better to use a monolithic slab reinforced with reinforcement. Considering the large weight of the structure, the installation of concrete slabs and blocks or their casting into adjustable formwork can be completed in 24-28 days.
Concrete slab garage
The most in a simple way quickly build a garage is an assembly from a purchased kit for constructing a building from finished slabs walls, ceiling and gender. There are enough on the market today a large number of offers of ready-made prefabricated concrete garages of various designs and sizes.
If desired, you can purchase a complete set, which includes:
- Concrete blocks for laying in the foundation for a garage;
- Floor slabs and furnishing kit concrete glass inspection hole;
- Walls and floor slabs.
For your information! The slabs for the wall are made in the form of a finished reinforced concrete slab in the size of the building frame. Thanks to the use of stiffeners, the slab is lighter and stronger than standard ones hollow slabs ceilings
The DIY kit must include Assembly drawing and the sequence of installation of individual components and parts. It is extremely important to comply with all the requirements for leveling and connecting the walls with the foundation and floor slabs as required in the instructions by the developer of the concrete garage project. Amateur work in such work is fraught with serious problems, from injuries to complete collapse of the structure. Correct assembly is based on professional work slingers, crane operators and assemblers.
Construction of a garage begins with laying floor slabs. Often, for the purpose of additional thermal insulation, the base part is designed in the form brickwork, raised above ground level. The layer of expanded clay or screenings must be carefully leveled, compacted and the screed concreted before laying the floor slab. Next, the walls are installed in pairs, first the back and side, after fastening the front and second side.
All laid wall slabs are aligned along the mounting grooves and connected by welding reinforcement and anchorage. The last to be laid are the ceiling slabs.
Price ready-made kit A concrete slab garage can range from $3,000 to $4,000 with delivery. At least 30% of the cost of the material will be spent on installation work, laying and operation of the crane.
Thus, the cost of the entire structure will be up to 6 thousand dollars without finishing works, insulation and gate installation.
Concrete block garage
Often the buildings are the most simple designs constructed from concrete blocks used for foundations or similar purposes. Most often, FBS 12.3.6 or 9.3.6 blocks are used for the construction of walls and foundations of garages. The first one measures 118x30x58 cm and weighs almost half a ton. The second type of blocks with dimensions 88x30x58 cm weighs about 350 kg. The cost of a set of concrete blocks of the first type for garage walls measuring 6x4x2.5 m will be about $750-800 excluding delivery and installation work.
For the ceiling, you can use three standard hollow core slabs PC 63-10-8, size 6.2x1.0x0.22. The cost of each will be 12-15 dollars without delivery and installation. The size of the concrete slab for the garage floor should be selected from exact dimensions wall boxes. In some cases, it is more profitable to buy and lay wider slabs on the walls so that an overhang is formed along the contour due to the protruding edges.
Thus, the cost of building a garage from foundation blocks, taking into account the large volume of installation and loading work, will be approximately half as much as construction.
It is worth noting the disadvantages of building a garage from concrete blocks:
- Firstly, erection of walls will require installers with sufficient experience in working with concrete blocks, since in each wall you will need to lay out perfectly vertical walls of five rows of FBS.
- Secondly, the weight of the structure of such a building will be almost twice the weight of the box assembled from a ready-made kit, which will require the use of a powerful strip foundation.
- Thirdly, the construction of such a garage will take about three times longer.
Construction of concrete walls using casting into formwork
To form walls using casting, you will need a set of adjustable, reusable formwork; in addition, it is necessary to carry out a large amount of work on reinforcing the foundation and walls. The cost of a concrete garage with a wall thickness of 200 mm and a cast ceiling will cost approximately $700-750 for the purchase of concrete mortar, $200 for reinforcement and another 200 to pay for installation of reinforcement and pouring concrete.
In total, such a concrete garage design, depending on the design features of the box, will cost $1,200-$1,300. It should be borne in mind that the building, due to its lower weight, can be installed on a simpler and cheaper MZL foundation.
Finishing operations
Insulation of a concrete garage is almost always carried out using foam blocks, which are glued to the inner surface of the walls and ceiling. A layer of insulation is sheathed OSB boards or drywall. Outer surface walls are plastered with cement sand mixtures. Roof covering on flat roof Most often it is made from rolled roofing materials, for example, glass insulation or roofing felt.
Comments:
A concrete garage is a reinforced concrete structure designed for servicing and storing vehicles. Traditionally, garages are used for cellars, workshops, and storage. gardening tools. It's durable and reliable construction with a service life of more than 100 years with proper use.
Types of concrete garages
Reinforced concrete and concrete products factories offer land owners a wide range of products to solve the “garage problem”. There are two main types of reinforced concrete structures:
- prefabricated;
- monolithic.
Precast concrete garages can be constructed from or wall panels and floor slabs. In the second case, you can purchase a complete set of prefabricated elements, including fasteners. The advantage of prefabricated structures is the ability to build a structure of any size and configuration that meets specific conditions land plot and operational requirements. This could be a standard concrete garage with a cellar for one car or a garage complex with workshops, inspection pits, and rooms for workers.
Monolithic reinforced concrete structures are also divided into two types: those constructed on site and ready-made “boxes” of factory production. In the first case, the size and layout of the object are determined individually by the owner. Catalogs of ready-made modules from manufacturers offer a wide range of designs: with a floor, without a floor, with ready-made openings for the construction of inspection pits and cellars. You can purchase two-row blocks for a garage cooperative or order a design according to individual project.

Advantages and disadvantages of reinforced concrete structures
Concrete block garages have a number of advantages. You can build them yourself according to your own design. There is a downside: the construction process can take several days. The use of large-format concrete blocks will reduce construction time, but in this case the use of lifting equipment is required. Finished object often does not provide for the possibility of redevelopment. In addition, during the construction period it is necessary to organize a place for storing concrete blocks and containers with working solution.
The second option for building a precast concrete garage is to use prefabricated concrete products. The range of products from reinforced concrete and concrete concrete factories includes an almost endless variety of floor slabs, wall panels with ready-made openings for gates, gates, windows, cellar entrances and inspection pits. It will take several hours to assemble the block. The second advantage is the ability to dismantle the object and then install it in another place. The use of specialized equipment will also be required.
It should be taken into account that violation of transportation and storage requirements reinforced concrete slabs may cause them to deform. This complicates the assembly of the “constructor” and worsens the technical and operational characteristics of the concrete garage as a whole.
Monolithic structures erected on site, durable permanent structures. The owner's requests are limited only by his financial capabilities and the size of the plot. This building is forever. It will be difficult to make changes to the layout for reconstruction purposes. The construction process is quite long.
Are used reinforced concrete modules factory made. Provided the base is ready and depending on the configuration, commissioning is possible within an hour after the start of construction. The almost finished concrete garage is delivered to the site by vehicle and installed on the prepared site. Additional benefit is the ability to quickly dismantle the object and transport it to another location. The downside is that there are size restrictions.
A concrete garage is a real estate property.
For every car owner, it is a priority to make a strong, reliable, durable and quality garage, which will protect the car both from bad weather and from robbers. To build a garage, all kinds of materials are used, each with its own pros and cons. Often seen brick garages, buildings made of wood or concrete blocks. An equally popular design is the building made of reinforced concrete. This material has always been famous for its strength, reliability and durability. It will be difficult to open such a garage.
It is noteworthy that in the past not everyone could afford a reinforced concrete garage, since its production was quite expensive. However, over time, the material began to become cheaper and became very popular due to the speed of installation and ease of work. Now you can buy a ready-made concrete garage and install it in the desired location. In this article we will look at the types of reinforced concrete garages, their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
Types of reinforced concrete garages
In fact there are not many of them. All reinforced concrete buildings produced by the plant are divided into two main groups. Each has its own characteristics, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. When setting up a garage, this must be taken into account. So, reinforced concrete garages are:
The advantage of a monolithic reinforced concrete structure is the speed of installation and ease of work. As for the shortcomings, we note high cost, large mass and the need to pre-prepare the soil. The construction is capital, so you need to have permission from the relevant authorities.
But prefabricated structures are characterized by the fact that you can easily quickly dismantle the garage and, if necessary, transport it to another place. The structure with the crane can be assembled and disassembled in one day. Moreover, for prefabricated garage no foundation or building permit required.
Types of prefabricated projects
Let's find out the standards regarding the size of the building, its weight and characteristics. By contacting the appropriate company, you can order a prefabricated structure from those provided below:
Advice! It is not recommended to assemble reinforced concrete products-3 yourself. Construction is complex and requires special skills.
These designs are suitable for passenger cars. But for large units, such as the Gazelle, there are other designs that differ in size and cost. You can see them on this table.
Advantages and disadvantages of reinforced concrete garages
If we understand the characteristics, types and design itself, we need to pay attention to the most important moment- advantages and disadvantages. They form an impression of something, showing whether this option is worth considering or not. I would like to say that the production of such garages is organized down to the smallest detail, so in the end you will get a durable product that is durable. Moreover, you can insulate a reinforced concrete garage, cover it, decorate it and do everything in it as you wish. Let's take a closer look at all the pros and cons in order to rationally evaluate reinforced concrete buildings for a car.
Let's start with the advantages:
Now let's note a few disadvantages:
We would like to note that some reinforced concrete elements are manufactured with the addition of plasticizers and antiseptics. Their price is higher than usual. However, these additives make concrete more elastic. So, it better resists overload. More importantly, buildings made from these elements will have virtually no cracks.
Even before buying a car or already during its operation, every owner is faced with the question of where to store his car. How to park the car open air Not good good option, then many decide to get a garage.
Owners of private houses have much more prospects in this matter, since they can independently choose the garage option that suits them and build it on the site. In order for it to be reliable and convenient, you need to choose the right not only design, but also the material for constructing the garage. One of these is concrete. Concrete garages will be discussed further.
Justification for construction
The construction of a concrete garage is not simple and quick, so before the process it is better to weigh the pros and cons, so as not to regret the time and money spent.
If a garage is needed at a dacha, where the family comes only for summer period, then concrete is not good option to create such a design. It is much easier to build a polycarbonate canopy or garage from profiled sheets for temporary use. If the garage is planned to be built on a site near a private house and used constantly, then a monolithic structure is just suitable for such conditions.
It is best to install a reinforced concrete garage separately from the house, since as an extension it will not look particularly beautiful, and there are some nuances and difficulties in adding a garage to the house.
Since the load of the garage structure on the soil is significant, it is necessary to pay attention to special preparation of the site for the future structure and the right choice foundation. And also if a basement is equipped, then Special attention given to the type of base for the garage.
Types of reinforced concrete garages and their distinctive features
A monolithic garage will be a reliable place to store a car, but before building this structure, it would be useful to find out what types of such garages exist:
Made
Such garages are built from ready-made blocks or panels. Also on sale now are entire garage sets of reinforced concrete slabs, which are also very reliable, but are inferior in weight to full floors. It is quite possible to assemble a garage from them with your own hands.
It is very simple to carry out such a design, and if desired, it is possible to disassemble and install in a new place. It is possible to order a ready-made reinforced concrete structure from the manufacturer or buy it at the factory required quantity monolithic slabs and build a garage from them. Since the standard assigns panels a width of 4 to 6 m and a height of 2.3 to 2.6 m, building a garage from them will be quite simple. It is enough to simply assemble the slabs into a single structure, install a gate and floor, and, if necessary, equip a cellar.
Also, many manufacturers offer a one-piece garage structure, which is cast in a special mold, and then delivered and installed in the planned location.
Important! Monolithic garage structures do not come in large dimensions, since it will be impossible to transport them.
Monolithic reinforced concrete buildings
The work of installing a garage can be done with your own hands using a concrete mixer by pouring the finished solution into reinforced formwork. In this way, you can make a garage with your own hands according to an individual project of almost any shape. For garage walls, foam concrete or slag can be used, which have higher heat retention rates.
A monolithic garage has a lot of advantages, which force many car owners to make a choice in its favor:
- High reliability. Such walls will become reliable protection from foreign penetration and atmospheric influences.
- Long-term operation, which is measured not just in tens, but even hundreds of years.
- Environmental cleanliness, which is guaranteed by the absence of substances harmful to human life and health.
- Impact resistance low temperatures and their difference.
- The fire resistance of the material ensures that such a garage is not susceptible to fire.
This garage design has no negative aspects. Additionally required interior decoration garage and heating, as in winter months the temperature inside will be the same as outside. If the garage is built with your own hands from foam concrete, you will need to protect it from moisture and carry out external finishing.
But the only inconvenient thing about building such a structure is the need to involve heavy equipment in the work. construction equipment and experience with welding.
Installation of a monolithic garage with your own hands
The first stage of construction of any structure is always a project. You can entrust it to professionals or do it yourself. But doing it yourself requires calculation of each design element and special care. The project must take into account the dimensions of the structure, materials, placement of the object on the ground, as well as the construction of a basement, if provided.
If you have no experience in creating projects, then it is better to entrust such an important stage to professionals. They will spend full analysis soil and will identify the type of foundation that is most suitable for this design.
If the project already exists, then you can begin construction, but the site for the garage is prepared in advance. In particular, you will need to level the base, remove all debris and remove the top fertile layer. Sand or crushed stone is poured over the removed layer and compacted thoroughly.
Preliminarily also performed drainage system, waterproofing and ventilation in the garage basement, if provided.
Garage foundation
For a monolithic reinforced concrete garage, there are certain standards regarding the foundation:
- The type of base for the structure is a shallow strip with a width of about 30 cm and a height of 40 to 60 cm. This type of base is suitable for a structure without a basement.
- The cross-section of the reinforcement for reinforcement should be from 12 to 14 mm.
- The protrusion of the tape above the ground should be more than 10 cm.
- It is necessary to waterproof the foundation with roofing felt or other suitable material to prevent walls from washing away.
Walls
The walls of the garage are made by pouring concrete mortar into pre-exposed formwork, in which the reinforced belt. The formwork can be made from various materials, including plywood, metal sheets, boards, chipboard and others sheet materials. The formwork structure is fastened using pins or bolts so that the structure can be easily disassembled and assembled.
Important! When reinforcing walls, corners are especially carefully worked out.
Concrete is poured into the formwork in layers of 50 cm. Each layer must be processed with a vibrator so that voids do not form, which will not only spoil appearance, but will also take away the strength of the structure.
The formwork from the lower layers is removed after they have completely dried and gained strength and is mounted higher. Thus, the formation of the wall structure upwards is obtained. After pouring the last layer, its surface is carefully leveled and checked with a level for curvature, so that the floor panels can be laid without problems on a perfectly flat surface.
Important! After the formwork is removed, the interlayer seams are leveled and plastered.
If a structure is being installed from prefabricated parts, then it is necessary to agree in advance on the services of a truck crane, which will assemble the parts using the designer’s method. All parts must be connected to each other with bolts, brackets or welding into a single structure. When purchasing parts for assembling a garage, you are usually issued detailed instructions, which must be followed to avoid problems with further operation. All connecting elements and seams are treated with cement mortar.
Roofing device
Taking into account the material of the walls and the area of the garage itself, they are laid on top of the finished structure. monolithic slabs. In the case of walls that are made of concrete, solid floors can be laid on top. For the construction of walls made of another material, which is less bearing capacity, slabs with a void inside are used. For example, a garage made of foam concrete will not be able to withstand the weight of a reinforced concrete wall and the roof will collapse.
Floor slabs are laid on top of cement mortar, and a slope of 3% must be observed to allow water to drain. Those seams that remain between the panels must be sealed with mortar or polyurethane foam, the excess of which is cut off above the surface.
Important! If the need arises, the slabs can be strengthened with a concrete screed.
Before covering the slab with roofing materials, its surface is completely cleaned of dust. Laying roofing material, such as TechnoNIKOL or roofing felt, is carried out in accordance with the instructions for each specific case. It is also possible to cover the roof structure with ondulin or soft tiles, profiled sheets or any other material.
Floor construction
When arranging a garage, the floor inside it is poured independently using a solution. This is done in accordance with the following algorithm:
Garage doors
An important element of any garage is the gate. Their function is to protect the internal contents and retain heat. The design must be consistent in quality, reliability, safety and be easy to operate.
For a concrete garage, you can install the following door options:
- Sectional
- Lift-and-swivel
- Swing
- Roller shutters
- Recoil
Each of these types is different in design and has its own characteristics. They are usually installed, the design of which has already been time-tested for reliability and durability. But, if desired, more modern options can be installed.
Concrete garage structure
The car has long been transformed from a luxury item into irreplaceable assistant. With its help, it is easy to quickly resolve many issues. Vehicle owners are faced with a serious problem related to car parking. After all, residents of high-rise buildings do not always have the opportunity to get a place in a garage cooperative to build a garage. Hosts country houses and land plots can build a prefabricated or monolithic garage made of concrete or various blocks on their territory.
Garage design options
If you need to quickly build a room to store your car, you should choose a reinforced concrete garage. Garage buildings made of composite blocks, metal sheets and wood, it is problematic to compete with a reinforced concrete garage in terms of durability, strength and reliability. The popularity of reinforced concrete buildings is associated with the simplicity of construction and the accelerated pace of installation work. Today it is easy to purchase a prefabricated or solid garage at precast concrete enterprises or carry out the construction yourself monolithic design.
Sooner or later, any car enthusiast comes to the idea that his “iron horse” needs a home
Car owners install various designs reinforced concrete garages:
- team consisting of manufactured in industrial conditions reinforced concrete slabs. Increased mass components requires the use of special lifting equipment to perform installation operations. This structure is assembled without the use of a binding solution, since reinforced concrete modules, after installation, remain immobile due to their increased mass. During assembly, electric welding can be used to connect embedded elements and fittings. Vehicle owners are attracted by the accelerated installation, ease of assembly, lack of need for a foundation, as well as the possibility of prompt dismantling of the structure;
- monolithic, manufactured at factories of reinforced concrete products in the form of a solid block. Car owners who decide to install a solid reinforced concrete garage are faced with the problem of delivering the structure to the installation site, as well as the need to use special vehicles and a lifting crane for transportation. In this regard, this design is characterized by increased cost compared to the prefabricated version. For installation of a one-piece garage block made of reinforced steel reinforcement concrete, the site should be carefully prepared. To do this, it is necessary to remove debris and vegetation, level the soil surface, lay and compact a sand-crushed stone cushion;
- combined, including ready-made and self-formed reinforced concrete structures. As ready-made floor elements, you can use standard slabs corresponding in size to the length and width of the garage space. The walls of such a garage are made of composite blocks, the laying of which is carried out with cement mortar or monolithic concrete. Formation of solid iron concrete walls carried out by pouring concrete mixture into formwork with pre-installed reinforcement cage. The floor is poured independently by concreting the base reinforced with a reinforcement grid.
The combined option attracts car owners with reduced costs and expanded choice constructive solutions, as well as the possibility of constructing a room with the required dimensions.
They are erected faster than buildings made of brick or cinder blocks
Advantages and disadvantages of a concrete garage
A concrete garage, like other types of garage premises, has certain advantages, as well as a number of disadvantages.
To the positive characteristics reinforced concrete structure relate:
- long period of use. Provided that the manufacturing technology is followed and a high-quality solution is used for concreting, the hardened monolith is able to retain its properties for a century;
- increased safety margin and increased level of reliability. Structure from reinforced concrete problematic to damage. There is no doubt about the safety of a vehicle located in a concrete room;
- Fire safety. In a garage where oils, fuels and flammable liquids are stored, there is a risk of fire situations. The concrete structure is not subject to combustion;
- maintainability. In the event of cracks or local defects, it is easy to seal cavities in the solid using a cement solution, special putty or plaster composition;
- installation speed. Compared to stone or wooden buildings, the construction of which requires long time, a ready-made reinforced concrete garage is installed on a prepared site in a couple of hours with the help of a team of workers;
- vandal resistance. It is problematic for attackers who traditionally use a jack to lift floor elements to violate the integrity of a monolithic structure made of reinforced concrete;
- diversity design options ready-made concrete garages. When ordering products in in the right place an opening for doors is made, as well as concrete slab the base is equipped with an opening for access to the inspection pit or basement.
As for the disadvantages, the main disadvantage of building concrete garages is the impossibility of rebuilding, disassembling and moving to another location
The reinforced concrete structure also has weak sides:
- increased mass. Weighing more than 12 tons, special equipment is required for transportation and installation, and during installation you should worry about constructing a crushed stone-sand cushion;
- increased construction costs. The increased material consumption of reinforced concrete structures, in the manufacture of which expensive plasticizers are used, increases the total cost;
- difficulties during transportation. It is necessary to use special equipment. Violation of transportation rules causes deformation and impairs performance characteristics.
When giving preference to a reinforced concrete garage, you should carefully study the advantages and also analyze the disadvantages.
Getting ready to build a garage from concrete or blocks
Regardless of whether a monolithic garage will be installed, or a prefabricated version of the garage will be built, preparatory stage a number of works should be performed:
- Select the location of the garage space.
- Decide on the design of the garage.
- Develop a project that takes into account all the features.
- Determine the need for building materials.
- Calculate total costs.
- Purchase everything necessary for construction.
You should also take care in advance about obtaining permission to build a garage. Let us dwell on the features of performing individual stages.
The first item on the list of things needed to build a garage is development detailed plan, which will take into account the dimensions of the future building, foundation, roof and everything else
Choosing a location for a reinforced concrete garage
When deciding on the location of the future garage, consider the following points:
- distance of the building from the place of residence. The garage is close to the place permanent residence more convenient, as it will allow you to manage time rationally;
- the nature of the soil at the construction site. Close location groundwater And high humidity the soil will create inconvenience when constructing an inspection hole or basement;
- proximity to power lines and water mains. You should take into account where the communications lie, to which you can quickly connect. Running networks under a garage can cause a number of difficulties when repairing them.
An important point when determining the location is the availability of free space intended for opening the gate leaves, as well as the convenience of leaving the garage area.
Carrying out markings on a construction site
To carry out the marking, you need to transfer the coordinates of the garage location from the plan to the conditions of the real terrain. To do this you need to use:
- construction cord;
- small pegs;
- roulette
Marking is carried out on a site cleared of vegetation and leveled.
As for choosing a place for a monolithic building, it is advisable to place it separately from your house
Calculation of building materials
Perform operations to determine the need for material according to the following algorithm:
- Calculate the total length of the garage walls.
- Multiply the resulting perimeter by the wall thickness and height.
- Subtract the volume of window and door openings from the resulting volume of the garage.
By dividing the actual volume of future walls by the volume of one block, it is easy to determine the amount of building material. During production monolithic walls garage using the concreting method, the volume of the walls corresponds to the need for concrete mortar.
