Country change house is convenient, multifunctional and practical space, which can be used as temporary housing, storage for garden tools or building material. Installing a change house in a summer cottage does not take much time, but still, certain preparatory steps must be taken.
At the first stage of preparatory work there is a place, where the shed will be installed.

For short-term operation of temporary housing, best to use the servicerental car cabin», which will solve issues with transportation and partial packaging.
After that, how the location was chosen, site needs to be cleared, cut down the bush, uproot stumps and remove 30 see top grassy ground layer. The flatness of the site is most conveniently checked with a laser level., it must be of steady relief.
Build the foundation
The foundation must be installed on firm and stable ground.. The most common type of foundation for a temporary lightweight structure is a column foundation., where bricks or concrete blocks are used as pillars.
Pillars must be installed at critical points in the building, with a step of no more than two meters. Along the perimeter of the markup, in the ground, holes are dug with a diameter 40 cm. The platform itself is rammed, covered with geotextile and covered with a layer of sand or fine gravel. Next, blocks are installed on a concrete or cement mortar., leveled out.
Each support must be wrapped with roofing material, for base waterproofing. For complete solidification of concrete and setting with blocks, it is necessary to wait at least 10 days, and only after that it is possible to lay the crate from the timber and install the trailer.
A more reliable and durable foundation is a tape, requiring more effort and expense. Often, the cost of such a foundation is 40% from the cost of the change house itself.
If groundwater does not reach the surface of the earth, and you plan to operate the change house for a short period of time, you can use the simplest version of the base - this is leveling the site, covering the surface with rubble, tamping and installation of change houses. This option is only suitable for seasonal use of the structure., as with prolonged use, the change house will begin to sag, which leads to damage and decay of the bottom and walls.
If you are interested caravan or cabin rental, choose metal structures, which are more reliable, mobile and durable.
