You decided to build a country house, purchased a plot in the cottage settlement, hired a brigade of builders, architects and designers and set up a project of the future at home. Probably it will be your dream house! You planned the number of rooms, the total area, thought out the architectural style of the house, decided where the loggia would be ... or the balcony in the country house is not needed?
Loggia in cottage
Design schemes
This question suggests an affirmative answer, because it is an additional area, and the balcony in the cottage outside the city is a place where it is possible to sit with a cup of coffee, enjoying the singing of birds. In reality, everything is often not like that.
If the road passes next to your future home, then the singing of birds you will not hear, and the dust will be constantly on the floor and furniture. If the house stands not far from the neighboring, then drinking tea on it will also be pleasure to be dubious.
Open you will use a maximum of 5 months a year, and its construction will refine the cost of building a house. The balcony can be glazed, but then its necessity is worth a big question. What will be his purpose? Most likely, it will be an empty area.

If you do without frames - it will create an illusion of open space
If you weighed everything and against and decided that in the balcony in the cottage there is a necessity, then it's time to decide how it will be. If you plan to build a wooden house, then the loggia with carved railings will be his decoration. For a brick house, a forged fence is perfect. But in this case, the loggia will speak only to the decoration of the house, as it will be completely open. If this option is not suitable for you, make the loggia to the continuation of the house, that is, from the same brick, like the whole house.

Loggia size planning based on what purpose you need it. If you want to put a table, chairs, chaise longue, then the width of the loggia is at least 120 cm. Proceed also from the fact that the area of the loggia should be no more than 15% of the total area of the house. If the balcony is an element of the house, his decoration, then quite small.
Keep in mind that the construction of it is not easy and not cheap.
Fencing - reliable, not less than 105 cm high, regardless of which material it is made
When the location for the loggia is chosen, with its size and style you have decided, it's time to consider and discuss with builders, so embodied the mount. The easiest way - after building the first floor, the slabs of the overlaps are stacked, which move forward to the desired distance. However, it is dangerous to leave it in this form. It is necessary to strengthen it or metal brackets (very durable wall) or make brick supports.
The second way - metal beams are thrown in the wall, for which the concrete plate of a small thickness or wooden flooring is subsequently stacked. The advantage is that it can easily make any shape and size. But in this case, it is better to make an additional support.
When designing, comply with the following rules:
- The fence should be reliable, at least 105 cm high, regardless of which material it is made.
- If the design is open, then secure the drop of rainwater.
- Between the floor of the loggia and the floor of the room should be a rarely height of at least 10 cm, it will prevent the rainwater pushing the room.
- Canopy will serve as protection from the sun or rain, but it must be strong enough, so as not to get sorrow under the weight of the snow.
Remember that with incorrect miscalculation and construction, the consequences may be unpleasant.
