Platforms of level of the ground are known with the section much of people. Each one seems to have the image of the beam supported by posts wedged in their head. I saw the people who really buried a wood beam and posts in the ground to support the beams of platform. Conjectures what? They were on the right way. They simply took the false turn.

The beams of platform must have a firm system of support not for the difference of those in your house or on a traditional platform. Beams are employed for this purpose. A beam is simply a level or almost a member structural of level which will support the beams with minimal or acceptable bending. Beams generally are made starting from wood, of steel, and the reinforced concrete. A platform of level of the ground, in my opinion, can most easily be constant by employing the concrete beams of category reinforced by steel.

You will require 2 beams at least for category, if your platform will not be connected to your house. The beams will be parallel between them. They can be at the ends of the beams or they can be really rempliés under the edge of the platform in the intéret of aspect. The beams must be with the same size and on the same aircraft so that the platform is finished level once. It is very wise to consult a residential structural engineer. This qualified person will say exactly the EC to you what you have need.

The beam of category are usually built by digging a ditch at least 8 inches broad. A depth of beam of 10 inches is generally suitable. The bottom of the beam will be supported by the ground. If you live in a sector where the ground freezes each winter, you must dig pillars at the bottom of the ditch of beam. The pillars can be 10 or 12 inches diameter and did not space not more distant 6 feet. The bottom of the pillars must be prolonged with the depth of freezing in your sector. Your department of building will be able to say to you how deeply to dig. That you are sure rocket which the funds of the pillar perforates. Widened bottom achieved two goals. It increases the surface of the portion of pillar to distribute the weight. Widened marks of the very difficult bottom also it so that freezing raises the beam and the pillars.

It is often necessary to employ panels of form to the higher part of the beam of category. The forms enable you to level the beams easily. The concrete for the pillars and the beams is at the same time versed. Once the concrete is halfway versed to the top of the size of the beam which you must install two steel of 5/8 Po diameter reinforcing with the stems. These stems should be placed not more narrowly than 2 inches at the side of each panel of form. You can immediately cover these remaining concrete stems. It is now time to install 8 inches length by bolts of anchrage a Po half of diameter. Place a bolt inside a foot of each end of the beam of category. Install-then them on centers of 6 feet over the length of the beam. Be sure that at least 2 inches of sticks upwards in the sky. These bolts will be used to maintain the dish drink of them 2 X 6 treaty. Your beams will be attached with nails to this dish out of wooden.

Wood surfaces of platform must be cleaned and sealed to keep them in good condition. The pickling solution that I recommend is bleaching agent of oxygen.

Do not install a vapor barrier under the platform. The rain can gather on the plastic and become a place of reproduction for insects. The steam of the ground can cause to format of cup engraves to decorate. The lower part of the decorating councils easily absorbs the moisture which evaporates ground. The action of drying of the sun and the wind dries the higher side to decorate. The dry top and wet bottom to decorate produced the efforts drink of them interns who cause to format of cup. To the minimum to reduce to format to you of cup should seal all the sides and edges to decorate before you attach it to the beams. If you can allow yourselves to seal to decorate on the lower part with two coats, thus.

I propose that you give the serious consideration to the nails or the stainless steel screws for your decorating. They cost one little more but they will never rust. Be sure to employ the nails which are ring or the spiral shanked. If you decide to use stainless steel screws, seek those which have smaller heads and a single knurled axis which eliminates the need to drill the pilot holes. This device will save a good number of work.
