How to build a shack?
How to build a hut. The possibilities are endless, recuperation, new kit, wood, metal, stone ... Some venture into composite materials ...
We on this page you bring elements to choose and to build with data for the materials (which is not evident if one city, for example) and the legislation which can adapt to your case. Now everything is a matter of compromise, and we can provide solutions ready. And indeed, this is not our goal. The objective of-cabanes.com suggest to you is that the adventure is perhaps in the woods ...

So you find wildcard patterns of huts, and with a little imagination and a good rêgle three, you have a basis for further work and the estimated price for wood.
The Wood: If it comes to the woods, we can do something good for a small sum but beware, the log or logs are the trades in its own right and often the work of these products is lengthy and costly.
Materials to build cabins
1) Wood
Simply close to the location of your choice you will find a sawmill and France, 4 main tree are worked.Ainsi you will find:
-- Poplar: plank white sanded, mottled black, fine-grained, very light, works very well, no outbreak, little sensitive to insects and sent matches, frequent use in voliges under the slates.
-- Chestnut: plank yellow mustard light beige if sanded, fine grain forming layers, more likely to erupt, it is easy to work, and strong smelling acid insensitive to insects except for Capricorn beetles. Using frames, plates and carpenter.
::: shelves chesnut
-- Oak: beige plank dark but clear once sanded, a grain showing streaks plotted as a succession dashes ------ harder to work, a good characteristic odour resistant and used in roofing, flooring, woodwork.
-- Pine and Douglas: recognisable by the aroma of resin, stronger than poplar, but subject to pests with age, easy to work, multiple uses. A variant of pine and fir, Douglas fir plank dew, and very thick grain Resistant Hard work but a reputation for not requiring treatment.
::: In a attic, Poplar schack
Purchase: generally, to build a cabin, timber bought by laths: planks of 27mm or 23mm thick on lengths of 1.50m, 2m, 2.50m, 3m. The widths vary and so much the better, the average is 150mm, and the rate is calculated per square metre.
Gross sawmill, Laths be clean and the edges parallel, but ç'est depending on location, the equipment used and storage (listels between each layer.) A plate purchased in February will damp patches and mould. By contrast late August, the boards will be more clean and dry. Counting at least € 4.50 m² HT for pine and poplar.
Drying: it is important to anticipate the purchase and drying the wood at least 5 to 6 months, or even buy the job and the store to protect from rain and each layer of plates lying on 3 listels 20 X 20 . I let you imagine combines all possible.
Period: Construction ideally will be held in August, dry. This to avoid withdrawals on the width of the boards that can be important and give birth to days, even if your planks were perfectly attached.
Plane: the surest is out of the sawmill, to provide wood to a carpenter or a carpenter who can make the edges of parallel plates, passersby on dégauchir table (table with a plane). (More)
2) The stone
The word stone takes us directly to the question of the availability of materials. The quantities of stones and binders are very important. So we must ask ourselves the supply.
And it is more interesting to work on the pebble more "local" and therefore possible if conditions are met: means, authorization or discretion ...: see broad but respecting the place, a certain ethics and respect for the wild . You will have access to especially in autumn / winter therefore think tracto shovel for a plot. With the "pique" also eventually you reach a mini career that suits your renovation. The nature resume those duties in 12/24 months.
Note: On-WWW.LES CABANES.COM there prefers an integration of the hut in a natural environment while respecting the diversity of local flora and landscape. So please avoid distorting your corner by the parquage products such caravans, récups all kinds of gardens at the Ours ...
Sandstone:
Easy to wok, sandstone presents yellow or pink. It is found in many regions. This stone, from an aggregate tied to the water, will react differently depending on their use:
Indeed such as limestone we will find destructive phenomena that are not related both to moisture, but the manner in which it intervenes in the pebble. The cause Indeed, the destruction of the sandstone is drying salts which cristalisent disintegrate and molecules. Then we will find significant events on rocks that were exposed auxs urine of animals. In these cases, these stones sandstone have been in contact with doses of salts very strong.
You should know that old homes if they have 100/200 years, can have a lot more ancient origins and 700 / 800 years in Europe for exemple, it makes perfect sense that the building have served as a sheep at certain times. So, in some cases change stones required. Similarly, pieces of iron can be broken into two a piece of sandstone once or metal corrosion has modified the aggregate. This is prevention with the seal seals chemical or put 2 layers based paints Epoxy resin.

Here is a list types of tools for the construction timber.
-- Circular saw

-- Saw
-- Mini plane width 80
-- Hammers, nails twisted 60, 70, 80.clous carpenter.
-- Screwdrivers + electric screwdriver. Screws (yellow) all medium and large sizes, large quantities

-- Bracket graduated, bubble level, measuring tape and large rigid length 8 m
-- Clamps pump, straps type automobile
-- Hind foot tire with nails, cutting forceps
-- Scissors wood

Tools for stones
Here is a list of tools to build stone.
-- Sledgehammer
-- Scissors stone (first prize for sandstone carving)
-- Leather gloves
-- Tools classical masonry:
-- Tray wheelbarrows (1), (2 if cement mixer), buckets (4)
-- Square and triangular trowel, shovels,
-- Spade to turn the mortar in a wheelbarrow.
Legislation for small dwellings
1) Selection of the site: in some places or the price of building land M2 has reached levels indecent, hunting is made to existing buildings smaller year after year know transplants and extensions can, deadlines passed requirements to be genuine investments long term. It is true that we have less chance of having an issue with a cabin in lost areas that if we want to build it at the foot of Mont Blanc
18/A forest, a lake, 4 piles, simple ... ?
Nevertheless, do not think that if you buy a wood at the bottom of anywhere, you are going to be a total unknown. This would underestimate the capacity of our national hunters who, as of August struggling campaigns of a how often impressive. Ti turn corners, which may seem to city dwellers, apart from the world, a land of leisure or they know the slightest wall. Also remember that the elected officials are the first to engage in this activity, so it is that the pipe can be ç'est to be in good term with hunting companies, and with the mayor.
So if the heart tells you, foncez, the antlers are inexpensive yet but often incultivable, and a hectare can be less expensive than city diesel car of 200000 Km (150 000 miles). Aware, however, that many European neighbours venture in this kind of investment impossible to achieve at home, for lack of space and foll

Hut plans
1) Plans: Sketch of building a cabin 16 or 20 M2 deck and mezzanine. A precision, the roof structure was not developed to take into account its height to the size of the pillars of rectangular section that will be higher on the gables.
::: bow-window
-- In the square sections: beware, especially in conifers, these profiles tend to twisting, then try the oak, but take advice from the carpenter or the sawmill.
Warning: These sketches are purely indicative to bring ideas on materials including timber volumes necessary. The buildings must be carried out by professionals, such as the reference site on the page directory. The drafting of ca site can not be held liable in the event of accidents: in a building made with the help of these sketches or in connection with use of huts made with the help of these sketches .
4 new drawings to bring you some methods, especially for building
- Small structures (4 / 5 m2),
- Retrieve and insert windows
- Make and use notched a mid-wood,
- Establish a mezzanine, etc ...
Warning the introduction of elements such as the roof, the mezzanine, elements of structures, such as farms (upper and triangular) and punches (vertical pieces of wood from the structure) require connections type mortise and tenons , an adaptation case-by-case concerning the distribution of forces. For each case, see carpenters near you or you can bring manufacturers present in the directory.

This summer, a part of the team was at work, in the middle of heat wave, renovate (quickly) a small fold at the border of the Lozère french departement,appreciated by Jim Harisson . The entire abstract or nearly imaging. Ten full days have been the time necessary to recoiffer this small building. Without forgetting few detours on the festivals that take place in the region, and many ideas swimming in corners wild days very rich exchange and a dining area.
1)Dry stones ruins (without cement)
::: A half-buried ruins. It is an old sheep remarkably dry stone built on the rock which served as a career, the angles of the walls are carved sandstone and frames.
::: A day of tracto shovel later. A day to adjust access and setting up the site, the terraces are a must in this type of work. All the wood used is pine Douglas.
::: The objective was to keep the nearby dry stone exterior, but to build with mortar construction son who worked for decades around the rock (visible on the photo below right). In this photo we took everything back to coaching. He had worked on more than 5 cm with a vertical crack in a likely landslide.
:::::: We got back diverse and varied scaffolds: on photos this below scales (ladders) and roofers' wedges for the inside, thank you for the helps of each. Careful: these systems are dangerous...
::: We notice the part formerly buried (color is in hiding) and the rebuilt part ( all the rest).
::: Repairs to be made on a big trapézoïdale ejected stone, a following a compression.
::: False wooden details are installed(settled) to guarantee a certain symmetry on 4 walls, far from being in right angle and to compensate also for a length of insufficient beam. Everything will be rebuilds anyway between beams. We opted for a mixture cement and lime, much easier to use than the lime (unless having specialist of the cleaning of cement mixers). This very general-purpose cement is mainly employed by him(it)
::: The cog(sprocket) is rebuilds by countering a stomach (sinking inward) of the facade. This option was taken by knowing that there was risk that it provokes evictions from new stones in the center of this hollow
::: The cover(blanket) is advanced(moved) well, we notice a terrace unpacked(paid out) around the building.
::: And here is ended time, the lath does not have more than to wait for its cover(blanket) of slate, and for a small house in the meadow furthermore.
::: Renovation of the inside, it is necessary to loosen(to kick away) the stubs of the former(ancient) beams, we enlarge and we pass possibly around
::: Laths, having studied several solutions, beams, stones, we opted for vulgar one wall in perpend to put beams. Let us say that we have a strong section and it was impossible to insert them into the rock; by report(relationship) notably in the humidity. A chevêtre was installed(settled) to avoid a support on the girder of the door already tried(felt) by decades.
