Drawings of canopies: how to draw up a diagram of a polycarbonate structure

Polycarbonate has many positive properties. This is a comfortable, light, translucent, sufficiently durable and aesthetic material, the price of which is relatively low. Properly drawn up drawings of polycarbonate canopies make it possible to build them on your own without any problems.

The correct drawing is the key to the durability of the structure

It should be noted that designing and creating a canopy scheme will only take you a certain amount of time at first.In the course of work, you will significantly save it, as well as your nerves, money and labor.

Why is it important to plan well

1. The right designs of polycarbonate canopies help you choose the best place for them on the site.
2. The drawing allows you to accurately calculate the amount of building materials needed and thereby save money, because. you don't have to buy anything or throw away unnecessary leftovers.

3. The scheme defines a clear idea of ​​​​the appearance of the structure and will allow you to judge whether it is aesthetically pleasing and fits into the exterior of your site.
4. A high-quality design will only be when you correctly determine the parameters of its frame and correctly select the thickness of the polycarbonate. Under these conditions, the structure will last a long time.

Data to consider when designing canopies:

• the purpose of the structure and, in connection with this, its dimensions;
• taking into account the climatic features of the region and the properties of the soil on the site, based on this - the calculation of loads on the structure;
• selection of optimal building and facing materials.

Types and sizes of polycarbonate

To choose polycarbonate, you need to know what types of it exist.

1. Monolithic material is produced in the form of solid (not having openings) translucent sheets. Based on its purpose and operating conditions, you can choose a coating that has a different thickness.
2. Cellular or cellular polycarbonate is a hollow material. Two or three sheets in it are mated with jumpers (stiffening ribs). Inside, the coating looks like a honeycomb, which is not hexagonal, but usually has a rectangular cell structure. This provides the material with sufficient rigidity at a very low weight.

Note! This type is less durable than the previous one. However, it is intended for small buildings, so this fact is not so important. Due to the honeycomb structure, its thickness is greater than that of a monolithic material.

3. Corrugated analogue not so common. Outwardly, it resembles a translucent slate or profiled flooring of different colors. The height of its corrugations can be up to 5 cm.

Polycarbonate type	Thickness, in millimeters	Width and length, in meters	Profile height, in centimeters
Monolithic	2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12	2,05×3,05	×
Cellular	4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 25 and 32	2.1×6 and 2.1×12	×
profiled	1,2	1,26×2,24	5

Note! When drawing up a project, take into account the weather conditions on the ground and, in connection with them, snow and wind loads on the structure. . On the diagram, be sure to indicate the dimensions of the design details. They must be accurately calculated and defined.

When calculating, rely on the standard dimensions of materials for the frame and roof. So you get less waste during the installation of the building.

When creating projects for hozblok with a canopy, having, for example, a barbecue or a barbecue, please note that the extension must be planned according to fire safety standards.

Structural design

Carry out project work according to the following plan.

1. Choose the location of the canopy on the site, take measurements there.
2. Determine what material (wood beam, shaped steel pipes, etc.) you will use for the frame, in addition, select the type and thickness of polycarbonate for the roof.
3. Further, drawings and schemes of canopies are directly created.

How to provide yourself with drawings

Having determined what materials you will use and choosing the location of the canopy, you can begin designing.Where can I get blueprints for this? There are three ways:

• draw them with your own hands on paper or in a computer program;
• order at the design office;
• found on one of the construction sites on the Internet.

At the same time, schemes can be voluminous and simple (flat).

1. A three-dimensional plan will give the most reliable idea of ​​\u200b\u200bwhat the structure will actually look like. However, to create such a circuit, you need to have good design skills.
2. Flat circuits are much easier to draw or build in programs. They are easy to print on a printer and use as a working drawing.

Note! By contacting the design organization, you will receive a document that will be drawn up in accordance with all technical rules and regulations. Future construction will be designed for durability, wear resistance, impact resistance, etc.

Conclusion

When the installation of the canopy begins, the instruction recommends that you follow its detailed drawing exactly. With proper compilation, construction work will not take you much time.

Take the design of even such a light structure with the utmost seriousness and as a result you will get a reliable and high-quality structure that will serve you for many years. The video in this article will continue to inform you about its topic.
