Prefabricated garage made of reinforced concrete modules and its installation. Reinforced concrete prefabricated and monolithic garages

To bind to the construction site you will need the following equipment:

a skein of thick nylon cord;
tape measure of the required length;
several pegs;
small sledgehammer.

The simplest option for connecting to the area is to add a garage to previously erected outbuildings. The solution to the problem in this case comes down to simply extending the existing building line in accordance with the selected dimensions of the building.

The basis of a one-story brick (cinder block) garage can be a simple rubble concrete strip foundation, during the preparation of which a trench dug in the ground is filled broken stone(boot). There are two ways to build such a foundation:

Pieces of stones are placed in neat rows in the trench, each of which is then filled with liquid cement-sand mortar.
Reinforcement is placed in the dug trench, and then it is filled with concrete.

Since the foundation must have some elevation above the ground, it will be necessary to make formwork, the height of which will correspond to the level of pouring the foundation for the garage.

The width of the trench for such a base usually does not exceed 60 cm, and generally it is 10–15 cm wider future wall. Its depth is determined by the expected depth of soil freezing in a given area.

When digging a trench, it is necessary to take into account that the soil should be sampled until dense layers of soil are reached, and also that the walls of the trench should be smooth.

This video is about preparing the base for a garage:

On the dried foundation we lay a layer of waterproofing, which is usually used as simple roofing material. If the garage door is already ready, then it needs to be installed and secured. For these purposes, you can use available material, for example, long logs, boards or anything else that is suitable in length. After the walls are erected, the spacers, which play a supporting role, can be removed.

The accuracy of installation of the garage door frame can be measured along the way using a plumb line and level. If necessary, its position can be slightly changed by placing pieces of metal plates under the corners of the structure.

Operations for laying a chain of blocks (or bricks) must be carried out according to standard scheme, according to which the elements of each subsequent row overlap the joints of the previous one. The construction of walls should begin with the construction of corner beacons, between which a thin nylon cord is subsequently stretched. Remaining wall blocks are laid along the cord line, after which the beacons are again built up by several rows. We control the correct alignment of walls and corners using the same plumb line and level.

To build a garage floor, you can use a relatively inexpensive and reliable supporting structure, made of metal I-beams with a working size of 100–120 mm. Such beams will allow you to cover the entire area of the building up to 6 m wide.

After laying the beams, you can begin covering them. To do this, thick boards (40–50 mm) are laid in dense rows along the lower tee of adjacent beams, which are then covered with a layer of roofing material. We pour insulation on top of the roofing felt (expanded clay or simple slag is usually used as insulation), and the level of the backfill should reach the cut line of the top tee.

At the next stage of work, we apply a layer of cement screed 20–30 cm thick on top of the insulation, the quality of which largely determines the reliability of the entire roof covering.

If the roof is level, then self-waterproofing The garage roof is made by laying several layers of waterproof rolled materials (roofing felt, aquaizol or rubemaks) onto the prepared screed. In garage construction, the following techniques are most often used:

laying rolls using the layer-by-layer fusing method;
applying the material using bitumen mastic.

For a gable roof, the same roofing materials are used as for finishing the roof of a house. You can get acquainted with them in more detail in the article devoted to this topic.

On the front and end parts of the roof you will need to mount small canopies that serve to protect the garage walls from rainwater flows. You can make similar visors from edged boards 50 mm thick, punched along the edge with another board. They are fastened under the upper tee of the beam.

As insulation for walls, you can use standard slabs made from foam plastic or mineral wool.

From metal profile

The first step is to make the lower part of the frame, which needs to be welded to the “mortgages” concreted in the foundation. If this moment is missed, you will have to use anchors for fastening.

The next step will be installation vertical racks on the long sides of the garage at intervals of 1.5 m. Only after this can you begin to secure the upper part of the frame.

To impart rigidity to the structure, you need to weld corners in the spans, which are installed diagonally.

Profiled sheets are used for wall cladding. The same material is used for the roof. If you wish, you can cover the roof with metal tiles.

A metal garage has a significant drawback - it is cold in winter, and heats up like a stove in summer. However, the situation is fixable. Such a room can be insulated different ways, it is only important to remember that heating will be required to work in such a room in winter.

In the video below, you can learn how to make your own garage door:

From foam blocks

Foam block does not have much weight, unlike brick. Therefore, there is no point in constructing a capital foundation from it under the walls. There are two options:

Shallow foundation on a sand bed.
Lightweight pile-strip foundation.

Moreover, if the soil at the construction site is not problematic, that is, not swampy and sandy, then there is also no point in spending money on a deep foundation. Therefore, it will be enough to deepen the foundation by 50–60 cm. A 20 cm sand cushion is poured into the trench. A reinforcement frame should also be built. This is part of the work that is carried out before the concrete is poured.

If the soil is dense and does not crumble, then there is no point in constructing formwork in the trench. It will only be needed above a ground elevation of up to 30 cm.

As for the width of the foundation, it should be 300 mm wider than the thickness of the foam blocks themselves. This gap will compensate for the pressure of frozen soil. The entire construction process is expressed in the sequential steps outlined below:

Marking the site for future construction.
Laying the foundation.
Installation of metal gates.
Waterproofing.
Construction of walls from foam blocks.
Installation of a transverse concrete lintel beam above the gates and windows, if any.
If the roof is pitched, then the walls are erected with a slope in one direction.
Organization of ventilation in the garage.
Making an armored belt around the entire perimeter.
Installing I-beams across the garage. The laying step is 800 mm, and the beam extends 200 mm beyond the walls on both sides.
To form the ceiling, tongue and groove boards are laid on the lower edges of the beams.
Laying waterproofing on a plank base.
Installation of roofing material.

To build a garage from foam blocks, it is recommended to use blocks with a density of 600–800 kg/m3. They belong to the category of structural and thermal insulation and are characterized by increased strength. If you purchase material with a lower density, it will be too fragile, and this is undesirable.

Typically foam blocks of this size are used: 200×300×600 mm. To increase thermal insulation properties For walls, you can use blocks of 200×400×600 mm. If it is necessary to increase the thickness of the walls, then lay the wide side down, its thickness is 300 or 400 mm.

Novice craftsmen usually use cement-sand mortar to lay blocks. Professionals prefer perlite. Using this material, the effect “ warm seam" Perlite is inexpensive, however, it prevents the formation of a cold bridge through the seams. After all, these are the places that are most vulnerable in such a building.

If you were unable to buy perlite, then purchase a dry mixture of “thermoshov”.

If you managed to make the foundation relatively level, the first row should still be laid on the mortar. This will prevent the appearance of cracks from point loads, and the block, a solution up to 2 cm thick, will “find” its place.

Another feature of working with foam block is its fragility. Therefore, even if you bought blocks with high density, every 2–3 rows lay reinforcing metal mesh. also in mandatory sutures need to be changed. The walls will not be monolithic and strong if there is no connection with the adjacent row or at the corners.

When building a two-story garage, to lay a reinforced concrete floor panel, fill in an armored belt 200 mm thick. This will be enough to protect fragile blocks from compression, and the entire structure as a whole will provide better strength.

To build a garage from cinder blocks, it is enough to make a foundation 500 mm deep and up to 400 mm wide. The process of pouring it is the same as for a garage made of foam blocks, described above. When the concrete has dried, roofing felt must be laid, which will serve as waterproofing. As for the construction of walls, there are no special sacraments here. The principle of operation is the same as brick laying.

If desired, cinder block walls can be plastered, painted, clapboarded, insulated, etc. It all depends on financial capabilities and the characteristics of the prevailing climate in your area.

Mobility

Having bought a garage from reinforced concrete products, it will only take a few hours to assemble it; from reinforced concrete slabs- a few days. If you need to move it to a new location, there will be no difficulties with this - the garage can be easily dismantled and is ready for assembly.

Variety of options

Today you can buy a garage of any design - factories Precast concrete products supply a huge number of wall panels with gate openings, gates, floor slabs, entrances to and.

Such garages can be built in any configuration and size, carrying out your own design in accordance with your operating requirements.

Flaws:

When constructing prefabricated structures, it is necessary to have special equipment.
Once a garage has been built, it cannot be redesigned.
Improper transportation of reinforced concrete structures leads to their deformation, worsens their characteristics and complicates assembly, which reduces the operational and technical characteristics of the prefabricated structure.

In this regard, during the construction process it is required proper organization transportation and storage slabs And concrete blocks.

Where is it smart to build?

The rules for the construction of objects of this class are specified in the documents: SNiP 30-02-97 And SP 30-102-99.

The regulations indicate that construction design garages in the ground and basement floors, incl. and attached ones are allowed without complying with the standards.

SNIP only regulates that outbuildings should be located one meter from the boundaries of the site and the distance between adjacent buildings with combustible floors should be at least 10 meters.

If under construction country house, then reinforced concrete garage built under the house, there are noticeable advantages:

at least one hundred square meters of land is saved for other needs;
the car can be freely parked and taken out of the garage without disturbing household members;
the necessary things and tools are always in the house, even in winter;
This construction option is no more expensive than building a separate garage.

If you choose a garage extension, then, of course, the main issue will be its reliability, functionality and convenience; in other words, price-quality.

With reliability, everything is clear - the stronger the garage, the better. But its construction will cost quite a significant amount. Purchase, delivery, invitation of workers. On the other side reliability And durability.

If you are planning to live in a country house or in a garden, then construction reinforced concrete garage is a justifiable decision. But to complete the documents you will still have to stand in line, which can take more than one month.

A metal garage costs about $1000; additional costs for its construction will require the delivery of materials and the cost of a foundation strip (small). Construction will take a short time, it will work out perfect solution, protecting the car from the sun and rain, this is, in principle, enough in the country.

Attention: The advantage of a metal garage is that there is no need to finish the walls, install water, or install a garage. A garage on a garden or summer cottage is primarily a car shelter.

If you need a place to store garden tools, the device in a small garage rack will solve the problem. An inspection hole is also not required, this is an additional saving, since it will not require the cost of waterproofing.

If a dacha or garden is not the place permanent residence, but only personal plot with a holiday home, then this option is optimal due to its efficiency.

Factories reinforced concrete products They manufacture various garage options in size and weight, depending on the model. The weight of a reinforced concrete garage ranges between 10 And 17 tons. The kit includes a concrete floor and a gate.

Reinforced concrete garage size:

Construction

The important point here is the choice places And project construction. If previously prefabricated garages made of reinforced concrete were built on site - poured, reinforcement was knitted, formwork was made, concrete was poured and everything was thoroughly compacted, then the labor intensity, time and price of such a garage was quite high.

Modern technologies have become noticeably simpler. Purchasing a prefabricated structure from a factory Precast concrete products reduces costs by about half. Such a garage made of concrete slabs is designed for simple assembly, it comes with detailed instructions. Even the garage owners themselves can assemble it without the help of builders.

Assembly steps:

basement panels are installed (if provided);
floor slabs are installed;
garage walls are assembled;
the gate panel is installed;
floor panels (hollow) are installed;
the roof is being installed.

For work you will need lifting mechanisms . The slabs are fastened with anchor bolts and brackets. To install the gate, you will need a welding machine. The advantage is that there is no need finishing works inside and outside the garage.

For insulation of a collapsible concrete garage, it is usually used Styrofoam. This allows you to do without internal heating.

The polystyrene foam is attached with mortar to the outer walls of the garage; plastic dowels are also used to secure it.

Afterwards, a network of plaster is applied, embedded in glue, which is applied to the foam.

At the final stage, the surface is coated with putty and, if necessary, paint is applied.

Waterproofing Suitable for all garage foundations. It is installed at a height 15-25 cm from ground level to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls.

Waterproofing is divided into horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal done using roofing felt, glued to heated bitumen in 2 layers. It is used in garages without basements, it is done around the entire perimeter of the garage along the foundation edge (its upper edge), but above ground level (required).

If the garage has, in addition to the main one, protection against capillary moisture is applied. For this purpose it is used vertical waterproofing at the bottom level of the foundation under external walls. It is also installed on the outer edges of the outer walls of the basement. For these purposes, the edges are leveled with cement and bitumen.

If the ground water is above the basement floor, the basement should be protected closed shell, performed continuously.

The basement floor on top of the waterproofing is made of cement or concrete.

It is made from bioresistant coatings and waterproof impregnations.

The wood is impregnated 2-3 times with heated mixtures at intervals of 24 hours. After drying, the wood can be painted. Wood can be painted with oil paints; paints with rubber are also good; they can be used to paint any surface.

Important: It is better to make an inspection hole if the groundwater does not rise too high.

If, after all, an inspection hole is planned, it is recommended to place it outside the permanent parking of the car or make cover to close the hole.

Heat prefab concrete garage Central heating is quite expensive and inefficient. Electric heating is more efficient. There are many methods; nowadays there are many devices and auxiliary devices that regulate the temperature and operating time of electrical appliances.

What devices can be used for heating finished concrete garage:

electric heating boiler;
thermal convector;
heated floor system;
infrared heating.

Auxiliary devices for heating:

timer socket (controls heating according to time);
thermostat sensor (maintains the set temperature in the room).

Finishing outside and inside

Flat roofs covered with roofing felt, fiberglass or euro slate. It is cheap, simple, easy to do and these materials protect well from water. But they become unusable after 5-10 years, have low resistance to damage.

Pitched roofs covered with galvanized sheets, metal tiles, corrugated sheets or slate. The materials do not deteriorate for quite a long time, are durable and retain heat well, are resistant to temperature changes and are also fire resistant. Their minus- higher price and difficult to install.

If the garage is used in winter and heated, its roof must be insulate.

Wall finishing:

Modern finishing prefabricated reinforced concrete garages carried out or cement plaster or decorating materials such as block house, siding, artificial stone.

Ceiling waterproofed with special compounds for these works (for example, Gidrotex-U), used for sealing seams, joints and cracks. Afterwards, fiberglass tape is applied to problem areas, and a primer of penetrating solution is applied to the entire ceiling. Next are already being carried out finishing.

Three rules of work:

finishing is carried out with fireproof and chemically resistant materials;
materials should not get too dirty, absorb odors and should be easy to clean;
It is necessary to use highly damage-resistant materials.

In conclusion:

Concrete garages are simple and reliable, they durable and also warmer than their brick counterparts. Their disadvantage may be some uniformity and a higher price. They also have a price advantage over monolithic concrete ones. And if when building a car dwelling financial issue is not a priority, a garage made of concrete blocks will serve you a very long time.

A necessary and important building for any car owner is a garage, which will protect the car from bad weather, protect it from prying eyes, and allow you to comfortably carry out minor repairs. When constructing a building, the most profitable, convenient and quick option is a slab garage.

Basically, two types of materials are used for installation:

Reinforced concrete prefabricated slabs.
OSB boards.

In this article we will look at both methods, talk about the materials used, technical characteristics, and assembly features.

Precast concrete garage

To erect a building of this type, a foundation is not required (see What kind of foundation is needed for a garage: we determine and do it), the slabs are placed on a leveled and sanded base.

During construction, sets of special garage slabs are used, which include:

Three blank wall panels.
One panel with gate opening.
Floor slab.
Floor slab.

The advantages of this type of construction are as follows:

Assembly speed. The garage is assembled like a kit, which takes much less time; it only requires welding to connect the elements of the kit. Although options are now being produced that are connected without welding, using brackets and anchors, and welding work will only be needed when installing the gate.

Durability and reliability. The structure of garage slabs lasts for decades and guarantees the safety of the car.
The interior of the room does not require large investments in decoration; basically, it is enough to paint or whitewash the walls and ceiling.
A reinforced concrete garage is much warmer than monolithic or metal buildings, but to save more electricity and reduce heat loss, some owners additionally cover the walls with polystyrene foam or polystyrene.

The disadvantages include the need to attract equipment for the installation of slabs and quite high cost set. But the price can be reduced by making some elements yourself.

Garage walls and floor

A set of garage wall slabs has a low weight, reduced thickness (120–150 mm), each slab is equipped with built-in embedded parts, which ensure reliable assembly of the frame.

To reduce the cost of construction, you can also make the flooring yourself. The monolithic slab under the garage is poured first, the base surface is reinforced with a mesh or individual connected rods with a diameter of 12–16 mm in increments of 200–300 mm, covered with concrete mixture, vibrated and leveled.

Important! Since the building is a self-supporting structure and is not subject to heavy loads, when pouring slabs with your own hands, you can use used reinforcement to install the grids, having previously cleaned it and coated it with an anti-corrosion compound. Protective layer concrete above the mesh should be at least 30 mm, and a slight slope of the floor slab should be made towards the gate.

At the corners of the building, a corner or pipe is installed vertically on the floor slab, which will serve as the basis of the frame, and wall panels are welded to them.

If necessary, devices inspection hole First, a pit is dug for the installation of additional basement slabs, then the base is also filled with reinforced concrete, and wall panels are mounted on it. The sinuses are filled with soil with layer-by-layer compaction and spilling with water. If this is not done, the floor in the garage may sag due to seasonal soil movements.

Work on the installation of the above-ground part of the garage can only be carried out when the earth in the sinuses has completely settled, therefore, after installing the inspection pit, you must wait at least 3 months.

Garage roof

Typically, the roof of a building is made pitched (see: Single-pitched garage roof: how best to make it) or gable, and is used hollow core slabs garage floors, as they are lighter, and the empty channels in the body of the slab provide better thermal insulation.

The roofing is done using the following technology:

Floor slabs are mounted on the mortar, the support of the long sides on the walls is made at least 100 mm, and the ends - 150 mm.
The seams between the plates are filled with fine-grained mortar or polyurethane foam.
A rafter system is installed for single or gable roof.
The surface of the plates is coated with a special impregnation for dust removal and better adhesion of materials to each other.
A vapor barrier layer is laid to protect the insulation from condensation during temperature changes.
A layer of insulation is laid (expanded clay, slag, mineral slab or rolled materials).
Waterproofing is installed to protect the insulation from getting wet and the garage from leaks.
Roofing material is laid along the rafters.

If the roof is made flat, pitched, then several layers of roofing material are used, glued to a bitumen base with a joint overlap of 150 mm.

Important! The roof must have a slope of at least 5%; if it is impossible to remove it with a floor slab, then drain it using a cement-sand mortar screed.

OSB garage

One of the new materials used for garage construction is OSB boards, which are produced by pressing from long wood chips based on special polymer resins. What are the benefits of wood-based slabs and why are they popular?

Garage near the house, made of OSB slabs

Low cost compared to reinforced concrete or monolithic options.
No equipment is required; the slabs are light in weight and easy to transport and assemble.
High moisture resistance and excellent strength characteristics.
The slabs can be easily processed, sawed, drilled, and can be used to build a garage of any architectural complexity that harmoniously fits into the overall composition of the house.

A garage made of OSB slabs is mounted on a strip foundation with a depth of about 400 mm, this is enough, since the building is a light frame structure. The width depends on the thickness of the walls plus 100 mm.

Another option could be a slab foundation; it is poured onto a leveled base with reinforcement. The dimensions of the foundation are calculated based on the area of the building. Such a base can simultaneously serve as the floor in the room. We have already told you above how to make a slab for a garage.

Frame garage construction technology

A building of this type has excellent strength indicators and is simple in construction and finishing:

Construction begins with the installation of a frame made of timber or metal profile.
Wall openings from the inside are filled with continuous flooring made of 150x50 mm boards.
One side is sewn up taking into account the opening for the gate.
On the outside, insulation in one or two layers is attached to the boards.
The walls from the street are also covered with boards.
The frame is sheathed with OSB slabs on the outside and inside.

Important! It is necessary to secure a waterproofing film under the slabs to prevent moisture from penetrating into the wooden frame.

Hollow-core slabs in OSB garages are perfect for flooring; they are relatively light in weight, so the walls will not be subject to heavy loads.
The roof truss system is installed, the sheathing is installed, which is covered with roofing material.
The garage is being sheathed on the outside finishing material(plastic or metal siding).
The floor is poured, a slope of 3 degrees is made towards the gate.

It must also be said that of the four types of boards produced, the most popular in terms of technical characteristics for the construction of garages is OSB 3; it successfully combines price and quality of the material.

The proposed photos and videos will help you choose the most suitable option for constructing a garage on your site.

Reinforced concrete garage - prefabricated or monolithic, price and selection criteria

If previously a reinforced concrete garage testified to the well-being of its owner, now, thanks to the industrial technology of manufacturing elements and blocks for its assembly, the cost of its construction has decreased several times.

Peculiarities

The majority of domestic car owners who own a plot of land or rent it on long-term conditions, they are trying to build a reliable and durable “home” for their car. A permanent structure, in which the “box” and the foundation form one whole, is the most popular design. To build it, you can buy reinforced concrete panels for garage construction or bricks from manufacturers. However, it should be noted that the cost of constructing a brick or foam block structure will be several times higher than building from reinforced concrete blocks.

Kinds

Modern “houses” for cars made of reinforced concrete are manufactured in factory conditions at industrial enterprises and are presented in two possible versions:

Made;
Monolithic.

Prefabricated reinforced concrete garages consist of separate slabs, fastened together during assembly with special anchor bolts. The second option is a completely finished and fastened “box”, which, during installation, is rigidly fixed to the prepared foundation.

Advantages

First of all, the positive characteristics of a structure made of reinforced concrete include, subject to compliance with all construction and technological standards and regulations, high strength, reliability and durability of the entire structure. In addition, reinforced concrete slabs can be selected based on the desired size of the future garage, or you can order ready-made ones that are closest in size to the desired size.

An important advantage is that almost anyone, even a not very experienced builder, can assemble a garage from ready-made reinforced concrete structures with their own hands. Ease of repair should also be added to the advantages. If cracks or potholes form on the surface of the slabs, you can repair them yourself.

To do this, you need to clean the damaged areas with high pressure water. Metal reinforcing rods that protrude after cleaning should be cleaned of rust and an anti-corrosion compound should be applied. After that, the resulting holes should be sealed with cement-sand mortar.

Flaws

When constructing garage buildings from reinforced concrete, the main disadvantage is the additional costs of transportation or hiring professionals from certain construction specialties.

Reinforced concrete modular garages, just like monolithic ones, require additional waterproofing of the roof, which is usually made flat and covered with roofing felt. If this is not done, then the water that will accumulate under the roof will lead to dampness, and, in the future, to the destruction of the concrete modules.

Another disadvantage of garages built from reinforced concrete is the formation of condensation on the walls, which forms at the joints due to temperature differences, especially in the cold season. But this drawback can be easily eliminated by doing interior decoration garage with plastic slabs or clapboard.

Big or small?

The most popular among buyers are prefabricated (modular) reinforced concrete garages, which are produced in several designs:

Concrete concrete products-1 (modular without floor). The linear dimensions are 400x625x245 cm, and the weight of the entire structure is about 12 tons.
Concrete concrete products-2 (prefabricated with floor). The size is the same as the previous project, but exceeds it in weight by 4.5 tons.
ZhBI-3 (modular with floor and basement)

In addition to standard sizes, large prefabricated garages for Gazelles are provided; sizes and average prices in Moscow with delivery can be seen in the table below:

stoneguru.ru

dimensions and weight of modules, prices

An insulated reinforced concrete garage will be a good shelter for a car of any brand. It is more economical in construction, more reliable and durable than analogues made from other materials. It’s not difficult to build such a structure yourself, but it’s easier and faster to purchase a ready-made factory one. It can be easily repaired if the need arises.

Varieties
Advantages and disadvantages
Dimensions

Types and features

There are two types of garages on the market: prefabricated reinforced concrete and monolithic. The latter are more reliable, but before purchasing them be sure to take into account:

the need for spacious transport and lifting equipment for on-site installation;
After installation, it will not be possible to dismantle and move to another site.

To avoid these difficulties in construction and operation, a prefabricated reinforced concrete garage is purchased. Manufacturers offer: hollow slabs roofs, front gate panel, as well as elements for walls and floors. They are equipped with metal gates and brackets for assembly. If necessary, supplemented with basement and middle wall panels. Thus, it is easy to choose the best option and install a garage from ready-made reinforced concrete structures with your own hands. For some, a significant benefit of this choice will be the reduction in final construction costs.

Advantages and disadvantages

Regardless of the type, the garage, subject to technological standards and operating rules, is reliable and durable. Its other advantages include:

high speed of construction and installation work - it takes specialists about 4 hours to install a garage without a basement on a sand bed;
prefabricated models are easy to assemble yourself; manufacturers must include all fasteners and detailed instructions;
ease of repair - if small cracks occur, they are sealed with mortar; significant damage (reinforcement is visible) requires special attention- first you need to remove the chipped concrete, clean and open the rods with an anti-corrosion compound and fill the pothole;
prefabricated structures can be dismantled and installed in a new location.

The main disadvantage is the relatively high cost of transporting a monolithic garage or composite parts to the installation site. Also, they require additional waterproofing of the roof and finishing, insulation of the walls, in order to avoid the formation of condensation. Some owners note poor ventilation and a typical, monotonous appearance.

Monoliths are made from cast concrete grade M300 with standard dimensions of 2.40x5.48x2.32 m, with a gate opening of 1.935x2.8 m. Wall thickness varies from 80–120 mm (the latter value corresponds to the thickness of the rib). Prefabricated elements are offered in a wide range of sizes. You can buy reinforced concrete panels for the construction of a garage for one car, 5.5–6 m long, 4 to 3.2 m wide, 2.32 or 2.6 m high. If necessary, a prefabricated structure for two cars, with dimensions 4x9 m, can be purchased Also, garages are installed in blocks - one, consisting of 12 boxes, is located on an area of 15x20 m.

Concrete garage

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, today the easiest way to build a concrete garage is that 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 capital construction is haste in making decisions. Often, the desire to acquire real estate as quickly as possible pushes people to 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 the general plan, pay for the implementation of the project of allocation and description of boundaries, withdraw the plot from the lease agreement of the cooperative, and only after that draw up a purchase and sale agreement.

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 foundations will be the basis for considering your future garage a permanent building and real estate.

Building a concrete garage

For any garage design made of 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 you plan to install a basement, storage facility or inspection hole in the garage, you will need to lay out 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 floor. 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 a kit for arranging a concrete glass inspection pit;
Walls and floor slabs.

The do-it-yourself kit must be accompanied by an 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.

The cost of a finished concrete slab garage kit 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 work, insulation and installation of gates.

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, measuring 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 the exact dimensions of the wall box. 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. The outer surface of the walls is plastered with cement-sand mixtures. Roofing on a flat roof is most often made from rolled roofing materials, for example, from glass insulation or roofing felt.

Conclusion

The construction of a garage from concrete materials is highly labor-intensive and often requires the involvement of professional installers, especially when laying ceiling slabs. A garage, properly designed and built, can last for more than 70 years without losing the quality and strength of the building, provided that special coatings are used to protect the walls from the destructive effects of moisture and frost.

Concrete garage: pros and cons

Comments: 0

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. Owners of country houses and land plots can build a prefabricated or monolithic garage from 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. It is difficult for garage buildings made of composite blocks, metal sheets and wood 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 not difficult to purchase a prefabricated or solid garage at precast concrete companies or to independently construct a monolithic structure.

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 on cement mortar or monolithic concrete. The formation of solid reinforced concrete walls is carried out by pouring concrete mixture into formwork with a pre-installed reinforcement cage. The floor is poured independently by concreting the base reinforced with a reinforcement grid.

The combined option attracts machine owners with reduced costs, an expanded choice of design 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 of iron 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 a 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 the right place, an opening for the 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 constructed, a number of works should be performed at the preparatory stage:

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 location of the garage close to your place of permanent residence is more convenient, as it will allow you to manage your time rationally;
the nature of the soil at the construction site. The proximity of groundwater and high soil moisture will create inconvenience when constructing an inspection pit 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.

The order of operations at each stage of construction

Many developers prefer the combined design of a concrete garage.

Garage construction technology combined type provides for the implementation next works:

Production of earthworks.
Construction of the foundation.
Construction of walls.
Roof installation.
Concreting the floor
Installation of entrance gates.

After completion of construction activities, landscaping work is carried out. Let's consider the specifics of performing individual stages.

It is not necessary to make a monolithic concrete garage yourself - you can always order a ready-made structure from one of the manufacturers

Construction of a reinforced concrete foundation

Among the various types of foundations, the most common strip foundation.

Sequence of construction actions:

Extract the soil along the contour of the foundation to the required height.
Place a bed of gravel and sand at the bottom of the trench and compact it.
Assemble the formwork from ready-made panels.
Place and secure the reinforcement grid in the formwork.
Pour the concrete mixture into the formwork.

Duration of strength development is 28 days.

A trench is being dug to fill the garage with concrete and install formwork and support posts.

Construction of concrete walls

The process of constructing concrete walls is similar to the construction of a strip foundation and is carried out in the following order:

Install and securely fix the formwork structure, repeating the configuration of the foundation.
Assemble the reinforcement frame and firmly fix it inside the panel formwork.
Prepare the concrete solution and pour it continuously.

After concreting, the concrete mass should be compacted to allow air inclusions to escape. Dismantling of the formwork is carried out a month after filling the formwork with concrete.

Construction of a garage begins with laying floor slabs

Roof and roofing - important points

The roof is being constructed in various options:

from an I-beam, the dimensions of which exceed the width of the garage by 25 cm. I-beams are laid at intervals of 100-120 cm and secured with anchors. After constructing the formwork under the beams, the finished structure is concreted;
based on ready-made reinforced concrete panels. Standard slabs are laid on cement mortar with subsequent sealing of the joint areas. The surface of the ceiling should be thoroughly waterproofed.

If necessary, organize an attic or attic room, a beam structure is constructed on which a roof made of various materials.

It is necessary to install longitudinal beams in pre-prepared recesses, lay boards and roofing felt on them for waterproofing

Construction of concrete flooring

The most common flooring option is concrete. It is performed according to the following algorithm:

The surface is cleaned from construction waste.
The base is leveled and a gravel-sand mixture is poured.
The reinforcing mesh is assembled and fixed.
The concrete solution is prepared and poured.
The surface of the concrete mass is leveled.

Concrete marked M200 is used to make the screed. After the screed has hardened, the surface is grouted.

Improvement work for a finished garage

List of works performed at the finishing stage:

Garage door installation.
Connecting power supply lines.
Connecting sockets and lighting devices.
Finishing on the outside and inside.

If necessary, it is easy to insulate the room using mineral wool or polystyrene foam. A reliable concrete garage will last for decades, ensuring vehicle safety.

Building a reinforced concrete garage with your own hands

A car is an important attribute in every family. After all, it can quickly cover long distances with a minimum of effort. But it often happens that there is simply nowhere to leave the car for the winter. In such cases, car owners begin building their own garage.

The best option for construction is an object made of reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete buildings have always been considered the standard of quality. If we take for comparison the same all-metal garage, then it loses, at least in terms of its practical properties, since it is more susceptible to corrosive influences. The optimal ratio of concrete and metal rods can create a building whose service life will exceed hundreds of years!

Precast concrete garage

Difference between prefabricated and monolithic garage

As you know, reinforced concrete is a material made from a metal frame into which a concrete solution is poured. To build it yourself, you will need special equipment and construction skills. But you can also use a ready-made building, which just needs to be delivered to the site and some minor repairs done. How else does a prefabricated building differ from a monolithic one?

First of all, the prefabricated one is distinguished by its “raw” dimensions. In this case, we mean the volume of material for construction. When disassembled it is much easier to transport to required space. But, at the same time, after delivery to the required location, the garage will have to be assembled. Monolithic, on the contrary, is difficult to transport, but much easier to install. All that is required is to pour the foundation in advance and, using special equipment, install the garage.
Monolithic is much more reliable, since its design has a cast form. Moisture, wind, snow and other natural phenomena will not be able to get inside, and therefore will not cause corrosion either on the car or on parts of the garage.
Dimensions. More often monolithic garages are limited by their size, so they cannot be converted into deviations from GOST. Prefabricated, on the contrary, can be converted to absolutely any size. You only need to purchase a certain amount of material (concrete concrete panels).
Weight of finished product or raw materials. For prefabricated ones, the mass can be different, since everyone can adjust its dimensions independently. But monolithic garages most often have their own GOST, which sets weight restrictions. A monolithic object is usually lighter than a prefabricated one.

This is not the entire list of differences between prefabricated and cast garages. For each model, this list may differ due to its production characteristics.

Slab sizes

DIY construction: where to start

When it has already become clear that the garage will be made of reinforced concrete products, then you can proceed directly to the process of building the facility itself. There is nothing complicated about this, because the future room consists of slabs, so the construction process will not take much time.

First of all, you need to find appropriate place, where the garage will be located. Ideally, the location should respond the following parameters:

be in an easily accessible place for both pedestrians and motorists;
The platform must be level, without extra items and buildings;
There should be electrical equipment or at least a power line nearby.

If this list of requirements is met in full, then it will fit into the overall landscape just perfectly.

Then you need to “prepare the ground.” To do this, you need to dig a hole about 30 cm deep, which will be slightly larger in size than the future building. The bottom of the pit must also be perfectly flat so that the garage stands level. Since the prefabricated version has a ready-made floor, there is no need to fill it. But if the purchased model does not have one, then you will have to fill it yourself, using the same metal structure and concrete.

This algorithm is only suitable for the monolithic version. For a prefabricated building, it is necessary to pour a full-fledged foundation and continue construction on its basis.

Important! The best option is a strip foundation. It will not only facilitate the construction process, but will also allow the walls of the garage to be level. a long period time.

Once the building site is completely ready, the installation or construction process can begin.

Construction of the foundation

Construction technology

Technologies for the construction of monolithic and prefabricated garage are somewhat different from each other, so they should be considered separately.

DIY prefabricated garage

The assembly technology is very simple and accessible even to a non-professional. First of all, as mentioned earlier, it is necessary to prepare the site. When it fully meets all the criteria, construction can begin.

Pouring the foundation

First, the walls are built. They are most often presented in the form of slabs of various sizes, and there must be at least 4 of them in a set (the 4th wall is the entrance). To install walls efficiently and quickly, you need to use heavy equipment (for example, a small crane). Using a crane, the wall is lifted and placed in the desired place, where a special binder cement mortar has previously been applied. After touching the foundation, the wall is checked with special tools to ensure its level position relative to the ground and is temporarily fixed with supports.

Ready garage

The remaining walls are installed exactly according to the same principle until the wall touches the foundation. Once the wall has been installed, it must also be supported and “sewn” to the second wall.

It is sewn with special metal ties that firmly fix the walls to each other. Thus, the entire structure is erected, then a slab is placed on top, which is, in fact, a roof. After which the entire structure is left for a day so that the binding component dries, and you can begin to seal the cracks, insulate and general arrangement inside the building.

Important! It is necessary to insulate a collapsible garage using special sealants, as well as insulation based on PVC materials. In this case, the garage will always be relatively warm and cozy.

Making the gate

Construction of a monolithic garage

A monolithic, that is, an already assembled concrete garage, is much easier to install. You just need to install it on an already prepared site, and then insulate it. This approach is the simplest, which is why most car owners purchase pre-assembled (monolithic) garages.

Pros and cons of reinforced concrete garages

The advantages include the following:

durability;
practicality and reliability;
maintain temperature better;
the time required for construction and installation is noticeably less than for brick construction;
simple construction technology even from scratch.

expensive materials;
Special equipment is required for construction.

Finally

Precast concrete garage will become reliable construction, which is able to preserve the car in its original form and protect it from influences environment and hijackers. But for it to be complete, it is still necessary to calculate all the pros and cons, and then proceed with the actual construction or purchase.

Reinforced concrete garage

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 disadvantages, we note the 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, a prefab garage does not require a foundation or building permit.

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:

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 have figured out the characteristics, types and the design itself, we need to pay attention to the most important point - the 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.

Note! Plasticizers in the composition make concrete more resistant to moisture, and antiseptics do not allow fungus and mold to form on the surface. But this does not mean that there is no need to ventilate inside.

Let's sum it up

If we compare reinforced concrete structures with brick or wood, they have quite a lot of advantages. Many people choose them for their speed of construction, reliability and durability. Despite its uniformity, you can decorate the garage by arranging it in your own way. You can analyze the pros and cons, compare the facts and decide what kind of “home” for the car you need.

Precast concrete garage

First of all, the prefabricated one is distinguished by its “raw” dimensions. In this case, we mean the volume of material for construction. When disassembled, it is much easier to transport it to the required location. But, at the same time, after delivery to the required location, the garage will have to be assembled. Monolithic, on the contrary, is difficult to transport, but much easier to install. All that is required is to pour the foundation in advance and, using special equipment, install the garage.
Monolithic is much more reliable, since its design has a cast form. Moisture, wind, snow and other natural phenomena will not be able to get inside, and therefore will not cause corrosion either on the car or on parts of the garage.
Dimensions. Most often, monolithic garages are limited by their size, so they cannot be converted to deviate from GOST. Prefabricated, on the contrary, can be converted to absolutely any size. You only need to purchase a certain amount of material (concrete concrete panels).
Weight of finished product or raw materials. For prefabricated ones, the mass can be different, since everyone can adjust its dimensions independently. But monolithic garages most often have their own GOST, which sets weight restrictions. A monolithic object is usually lighter than a prefabricated one.

This is not the entire list of differences between prefabricated and cast garages. For each model, this list may differ due to its production characteristics.

Slab sizes

DIY construction: where to start

First of all, you need to find a suitable place where the garage will be located. Ideally, the location should meet the following parameters:

be in an easily accessible place for both pedestrians and motorists;
the site should be level, without unnecessary objects and buildings;
There should be electrical equipment or at least a power line nearby.

If this list of requirements is met in full, then it will fit into the overall landscape just perfectly.

This algorithm is only suitable for the monolithic version. For a prefabricated building, it is necessary to pour a full-fledged foundation and continue construction on its basis.

Important! The best option is a strip foundation. It will not only facilitate the construction process, but will also allow the walls of the garage to remain level for a long period of time.

Once the building site is completely ready, the installation or construction process can begin.

Finally

The reinforced concrete garage will become a reliable building that can preserve the car in its original form and protect it from environmental influences and thefts. But for it to be complete, it is still necessary to calculate all the pros and cons, and then proceed with the actual construction or purchase.

Cinder block is a relatively inexpensive material with excellent performance and properties. If desired, you can build a wonderful garage out of it without involving third-party workers. How? Now we'll tell you!

Preparatory activities

Self-construction of a cinder block garage begins with a number of important preparatory activities. Follow the given sequence.

Selecting a location

First of all, we choose a suitable place to build our motorhome. It’s convenient when the garage is located next to the house - in bad weather you won’t have to get wet in the rain and wade through snowdrifts.

It is better that the garage is located on minimum distance from leaving the site. The number of turns should be minimal. It is not recommended to build a cinder block garage in a low-lying area, because... this threatens flooding with atmospheric and groundwater.

Be sure to make sure that there are no communication lines at the planned construction site, such as:

water pipes;
power lines;
sewerage and heating pipes.

If the listed communications break down in the future, the presence of a garage will significantly complicate their repair.

Make sure that when constructing a garage in the chosen location there will be enough space for opening the gate. It would be useful to have a free space to park your car during washing and other work.

Construction site marking

Having chosen a suitable place to build a garage from, we proceed to marking the site. At this stage you will need a small set of auxiliary tools, namely:

reinforcing bars or other similar devices;
hammer for driving rods;
dense thread for pulling between pegs;
tape measure for measurements.

Before starting marking work, you need to accurately determine the dimensions of the future structure. At this point, focus on the following factors:

available free space on the site;
financial opportunities;
individual preferences and needs.

If a cinder block garage will be used as a place to store a standard-sized car, a structure measuring 6x4 m and a height of 2.5-3 m will be enough for you.

The six-meter length is due to the dimensions of the car (on average 4-5 m) with a half-meter margin for unhindered passage. The width of the machine is on average 200-250 cm. Approximately 70 cm should be left for passage, installation of shelving and storage various kinds materials used in the garage.

If you wish, you can adjust the dimensions of the building at your discretion. There are no strict restrictions or standard dimensions for cinder block garages.

Calculation of cinder block

Having chosen a place for construction and determined optimal sizes garage, let's start calculating materials. Treat this stage of work with maximum responsibility. Due to errors at the calculation stage, you may simply not have enough materials, or you may waste money on unnecessary blocks.

The calculation will be considered using the example of a garage with dimensions of 6x4 m and a height of 250 cm. The masonry is carried out according to the most common method - half a block. Gate dimensions – 300x230 cm.

The dimensions of one block are standardized - 39x19x18.8 cm. Based on this, 13.6 blocks will be needed to lay 1 m2. You will build the entire building from 586 elements. Typically about 5-10% of the material is added “for reserve”. If the design provides for additional doors and window openings, take this into account when performing the calculation.

You will also need to buy rubble stone for arranging the base, several beams made of metal or wood (in the case of a garage of the specified dimensions, five 430-centimeter x beams will be enough).

Don’t forget to buy the foundation for pouring or the components (cement, sand and crushed stone) to prepare it yourself.

Step-by-step guide to building a garage

Let's get started self-construction cinder block garage.

The first stage is the foundation

We start with arranging the foundation. A cinder block structure will have a relatively light weight. A shallow strip base is sufficient.

We dig a trench in accordance with the markings. Ideally, the depth of the structure should exceed the freezing level of the soil. Most often they are buried by 60-80, and sometimes by 100 cm. At the same stage, we prepare recesses for the cellar and, if their presence is provided for by the project.

We attach plastic film or roofing felt to the walls of the pit for waterproofing.

We fill the bottom of the trench with a 20-30 cm layer of a mixture of crushed stone and gravel, followed by careful compaction.

We install it so that the height of the finished concrete structure is approximately 100 mm higher than the ground level.

Let the concrete mixture harden. According to the regulations, concrete gains strength within 28 days. We lay roofing material on top of the frozen tape in two layers for waterproofing.

Stage two - walls

Determine the height and length of the walls individually. Laying blocks is done like bricks. The most popular methods are the following:

half a stone;
into stone;
one and a half stones;
two stones.

The thickness of the masonry directly affects the stability finished walls to wind loads, temperature changes, etc.

Most often, as noted, builders use the “brick” masonry method, in which the next laid row overlaps the seams of the underlying one. First we lay out the corners, then we stretch ropes between them to make the masonry even and continue working.

In the process of arranging walls, we adhere to the following important rules:

In the upper part of the walls we leave nests for installing floor beams. Recommended dimensions – 200x200x150 mm. You can then fill in or blow out the gaps. The optimal step for placing nests is 100 cm.

Third stage - roof

We make the base from I-beams - this is the best option. We select the length of the elements so that it exceeds the width of the building by 250 mm.

We lay the beams across in increments of about 1 m. We fasten the beams in a suitable way, for example, using anchors.

After this, we sew up the base with beams 4 cm thick. We lay the beam as tightly as possible. We put insulation on top of the beams (mineral wool, slag or expanded clay), fill in 2 cm of screed and finish the “pie” with aquazol, rubemast or another suitable material. If you wish, you can choose a different finishing coating at your discretion.

Stage four - floor

We do it level with the plinth. As a standard, a screed with a thickness of at least 100 mm is poured. We first clean the surface of debris, level it and, if necessary, fill the bottom with sand or fine gravel.

We make the screed from concrete grade M200. We pour the material continuously, slowly, in several layers. Let the concrete set and rub the surface.

To make it convenient to enter the garage, we are installing a ramp in the front part of the building. Be sure to make a 50-70 cm blind area around the entire perimeter of the building. It will ensure timely drainage of water from the base.

Finishing work

We choose a specific design option at our discretion, buy it or make it ourselves and install it according to the instructions relevant to the selected system.

Supply electricity in an accessible way (“over the air” or “underground”). Install and lighting in the right places.

Let's start with the exterior and... There are no strict restrictions or specific recommendations in this regard. The walls can be covered with cement mixture, finished with plaster or whitewash, sheathed with siding, clapboard or other similar material.

Interior arrangement After you. Desk, shelving - focus on your preferences and needs. Be sure to arrange a fire-proof corner from a fire extinguisher, a box of sand, a shovel and a bucket.

Finally, bring the necessary furniture and accessories into the garage.
