Good afternoon, my reader. At the summer cottage there is no need to build a stationary garage for the car. It is enough to build a light canopy, which is quickly built and does not require expensive materials.

Frame construction
When building a canopy, it is important to immediately think about what material the frame will be built from, which should ensure the strength, reliability and stability of the entire structure.
When marking the future shed, take into account the number of vehicles installed for storage, as well as their dimensions. The most popular material for the frame is metal pipe, which provides the required strength. The dimensions and cross-section are selected based on the overall dimensions of the entire building.
Wooden posts can be used. They are cheaper, but they are fire hazardous and prone to decay, therefore they require special impregnation. Most often, wooden beams are used for temporary sheds.
Canopy roof
The main purpose of the canopy is to protect the cars installed under it from the effects of ultraviolet radiation, precipitation, and also wind. A variety of materials are used for the roof.
Awning
One of the budget options for arranging a canopy is a canvas awning. For him, waterproof durable multilayer canvases are selected.
The pre-installed metal frame can be fully wrapped with the canvas, equipping walls that reliably protect the interior from wind and rain or provide protection only from above.
The disadvantages of such a canopy-awning include its fragility, but usually, when selecting a sufficiently strong canvas, it withstands throughout the summer season. For the winter, such a canopy must be dismantled.
Polycarbonate
To provide a more reliable option for protecting cars when creating a canopy, polycarbonate sheets are used, which are fixed to the frame most often only from above to get a roof.
However, if you wish, you can also make walls, getting an almost full-fledged garage. It will last for several years. If necessary, this structure can act as a greenhouse.
The popularity of polycarbonate is due to its many advantages. Among them are resistance to mechanical damage, optical transparency, light weight, high strength, hardness and plasticity. It is a frost-resistant, durable, hardly flammable material that does not deform during temperature and humidity fluctuations.
The disadvantage is the gradual destruction of polycarbonate from ultraviolet radiation.
Corrugated board
The profiled sheet, resistant to various negative atmospheric influences and mechanical stress, is often used as a roof covering, fixed with self-tapping screws on the supports.
You can also lay this material on a rough wooden floor, forming the upper roll of the canopy. Among the advantages of corrugated board are ease of installation, light weight. From a variety of varieties, you can choose a material with reliable protection against corrosion, such as galvanized steel. It attracts a wide range of colors for roofing sheets. The decor is preserved throughout a fairly long operating period.
The disadvantages include the "drum effect". When large raindrops hit such a canopy, an annoying noise occurs. If the surface layers of the protection are damaged, the material is covered with corrosion.
A country shed, which protects the car from various natural influences, can be built quickly from inexpensive material with your own hands.
