Peaks from a professional flooring: types of designs and ways of installation

Visor made of corrugated board - this is the thing that almost anyone can assemble himself. This process does not require large financial expenditures, and the visor itself is assembled on the principle of a children's designer. Therefore, this article will be devoted to how to make a visor over the porch of a professional sheet with your own hands.

Now in the building supermarkets you can buy special kits for visors. In addition to the frame, there are various parts for the whole structure. They may differ from each other by the material of manufacture, color, and, of course, cost.

Of course, before planning the installation of the visor, you must install the support on which it will be installed. As a rule, these are four pillars having the same color and size.

So, if you did not get the kit, then you need to know what tools and materials the device can require from the sheeting.

Below is a list of all the necessary:

• roofing material;
• frame;
• one or more self-tapping screws (depending on the skill level);
• set of wrenches;
• drill with nozzles

Frameworks can be of two types: wood and metal. Wooden models are coated with water-repellent compositions, while metal models are made of steel or aluminum.

Before you start installing the visor, you need to decide on the type of construction. The type of construction will determine the complexity of the process and the amount of materials required.

Peaks on the design are divided into several types.

• Shed form. The simplest design. The main thing that is required when installing such a canopy is to correctly determine the angle of the slope.
• Gable shape. This type is most often installed if the structure is large. It is important to know that the larger the design, the more it will need to be strengthened.
• Arched shape. Installation of such a canopy will require skill, skill and special tools.
• Separate view - it is canopies of any form. It all depends on the imagination, preferences and individual design.

If you plan to install a large canopy, then first you need to prepare the support.

Below this process is described in more detail, as well as brief instructions for installing a visor made of corrugated flooring are given.

• Pits are made with a depth of 0.5 meters. The earth around is leveled and well compacted. The pipe supports are 8 centimeters in diameter and 3 meters in length.
• The next stage is the preparation of a piece of pipe. They should be the same as the supporting elements.
• Supports are inserted into the trim.
• Racks are placed in pits and filled with concrete.
• Install transverse beams. For this you need a screw or special corners.

• The slope angle is set and adjusted. Typically, this requires only to connect different in length opposing supports.
• The construction of the frame is covered with a primer.
• Paint is applied to the entire structure.
• Sheathing professional sheet.
• Professional sheets are fixed on the transverse structural elements with the help of bolts.

Installing a canopy over the porch is not such a difficult process, but due to minor shortcomings, subsequent operation can bring a lot of inconvenience.

In this case, there are several aspects to which attention should be paid and, if necessary, to refine the structure already in the process of installation.

• Narrow designs. The problem is that narrow canopies do not cope with their task due to seasonal rains and excessively bright sun. For example, for an area where oblique rains often occur with an angle of incidence of droplets (sometimes reaching 50 degrees), a particularly wide visor is required.
• Low level of load capacity. First of all, it concerns those visors that can not withstand the weight of snow. The canopy should be installed so that it can withstand not only snow, but also hail, ice. This problem is particularly relevant for the domestic climate.

• Improper or poor handling of construction materials. If the support does not cause such a problem, then the metal shed may eventually become rusty, and the wooden elements may mold or simply start to rot.If you have any doubts about the quality of coatings, then you can independently apply the coating in the form of various anti-corrosion compounds to professional sheets. For wooden frames suitable anti-fungal and water-repellent varnishes.
• Durable fastener elements. There is almost no need for explanations - in any design it is important to fix everything carefully. High-strength anchors with a large stroke can help in this.
