Which summer resident will want his beloved car in the rain and snow, or that the paint is bloomed on it under direct sunlight, while the owner in the country? Of course, no. However, few decide to make a parking lot in the country, because this is a rather complicated and not cheap activity. In this article we will tell you how to equip a place for a car with our own hands and save a family budget buying the necessary equipment on the site. .
Where and how it is best to do?
First of all, you need to choose the right parking lot. Choose a plot with an approximate area of two and a half meters in the immediate vicinity of the house. After the site is chosen, think about the general view of the design. After that, evaluate the site – it should be even. If there are slopes or pit on the site, you will have to eliminate them.
Also, do not forget that the parking for the car should be slightly higher than the area of the site. To achieve the desired level, remove the upper layer of soil, about ten centimeters. Then fall asleep the site with an even layer of sand. Next, we align the sprinkled sand using the level and the flat board.
After the base is made, we proceed to the manufacture of formwork. We make it from the boards that rely on the stakes. Next, pour the first layer of concrete, after which we use a reinforced mesh. When leaving the second concrete layer, you need to make a small slope to flow water. However, if you plan to install the visor on the parking lot in the future, then you need to make the surface even. The manufacture of the parking area is completed on this. You need to wait a few weeks so that all layers are completely dried up.
A simpler method
If you want to make a car parking even easier, you will have to spend money on paving slabs. The main advantage of the use of tiles is to save energy and time. A great option is a large tile with vibration -outlet.
First we make a sand pillow, then cover it with a mixture of sand and cement for a greater adhesion of the base and tiles. And then lay the tile itself.
It remains only to install a canopy to protect the machine from the effects of snow, rain and direct sunlight. If desired, you can enclose the parking of a border or stone.
Is it necessary?
Having familiarized yourself with this article, you probably realized that the construction of the parking lot is quite complicated. However, it is necessary to equip the site so that the land does not fall, does not deteriorate due to precipitation, and does not rise. That is, to relax in the country became even more comfortable.
