TOP-4 types of materials for building sheds
What to build a barn from?
For the construction of a utility room in a country garden or in a vegetable garden, almost all building materials are suitable. Here is a brief description, positive and negative factors of materials, which you should definitely pay attention to.
Wooden structure shed
The most popular and affordable building material today is wood. For the construction of an utility room, you can use boards, logs, shields and bars that have once been in use and have retained their integrity.
Positive factor
The advantages of a wooden structure include:
- relatively low cost of raw materials;
- low weight of materials;
- there is no need to build a foundation for the building;
- the ability to move the building to a new location;
- fairly fast construction that does not require special skills;
- long barn life.
Minuses:
It is imperative to take into account the weaknesses of a wooden building, since those who are aware are armed. It:
- compulsory processing of wood before construction with anti-rot and insect agents, which requires financial investments;
- preparation of raw materials, shrinkage.
- Despite some inconveniences, wooden sheds are most often erected in vegetable gardens and orchards.
Concrete block sheds
This material is not very suitable for building a shed because of its volume, but you can still use it.
Positive factor
The strengths of this idea can be highlighted:
- the structure looks solid and solid;
- does not require additional finishing and decoration;
- it is insulated, so it can serve as a greenhouse for growing seedlings for some time;
- processed from spoilage and insects;
- has a long service life;
- cheap material when compared to brick and metal;
- minimum knowledge of work and quick construction.
Negative factor
There are obligatory nuances that will cause discomfort. It:
- the need for the mandatory construction of a solid foundation;
- the material shrinks significantly, which creates a number of problems in an already finished barn.
- Sheds made of foam concrete are built only when the use of other materials for some reason is impossible.
Brick shed
Brick buildings are more like garden houses, but if the owner thinks that a barn has been built, then this is a barn.
Pluses of brick buildings
There are a number of strong arguments that stimulate the creation of just such a barn. It:
- durability and capital of the structure;
- the possibility of further use for other purposes – workshop, chicken coop or greenhouse;
- the material does not require additional processing and protection.
Minuses:
Along with pluses, there are weighty arguments with a minus sign. It:
- the need to build a solid foundation;
- the high cost of bricks and mortar for masonry walls;
- poor thermal conductivity, poor climatic protection;
- material weight;
- mandatory construction skills.
Although a brick shed looks more like a house, such material is quite acceptable for laying a utility room.
Sheet metal shed
Collapsible ready-made structures with metal or plastic frames, finished with sheets of metal corrugated board can be bought in the retail network.
Positive factor:
There are a number of points that are very encouraging. It:
- assembly does not require special tools and skills; study the instructions supplied by the manufacturer in sufficient detail;
- speed and ease of assembly;
- cheapness and practicality of the design;
- does not require processing and protection;
- durable and reliable, transportable;
- the possibility of periodic assembly and disassembly, movement to a new location;
- beautiful appearance of the structure, elegance and neatness.
Negative factor
Despite the many advantages, there are sure to be small flaws. It:
low thermal conductivity, completely unsuitable for use in the off-season and winter;
short service life due to thinness of sheets and susceptibility to corrosion;
no floor, the frame is installed on the ground;
additions not provided by the manufacturer are extra financial investments.
Metal sheds using corrugated board are mounted during seasonal use of buildings.
