Before any summer resident or cottage resident sooner or later the question of farm buildings and outbuildings arises. What is better-to repair the old or build a new one? How do I fit a building into the design of a plot? Hide it out of sight or make it a bright accent? As a rule, such structures are not expected to be particularly beautiful, but if you approach the matter with a little imagination and put a little effort, a banal barn will turn into a highlight of your estate. So, what can I do for this?
1. Add colors
The simplest method of transformation is coloring. Use primers and paints designed specifically for the material from which your building is made, then the coating will retain its properties longer. The color scheme will depend on the design of the entire site and your personal preferences. Bright contrasts or restrained nobility, plain surfaces, geometric shapes or even paintings — the choice is yours.
2. Cover with greenery
Decorate the entrance with a wooden pergola and let the “unkillable” maiden grapes, strict clematis or a luxurious wattled rose flow through it. Overgrown lianas will draw attention to themselves and make a technical room for storing inventory one of the elements of the garden.
3. Expand the work area
Another find for summer residents: attach a small shed on the outside of the shed, put a table, and you will get the perfect place for your garden needs. To transplant something small, to dilute preparations, to measure out fertilizers-it is always more convenient to do this on the table, especially if everything you need is stored right there, at hand.
4. Equip a place to rest
Who said that the technical room for your numerous shovels, rakes and watering cans should be dull? Organize a cozy place to relax in front of it — a light polycarbonate canopy will protect you from the rain, and climbing plants will turn this place into a real green room. Paint the farm block itself in a nice warm color that harmonizes with other buildings.
5. Organize the internal space
In any utility room, you can not do without a well-thought-out storage system-shelves, boxes, racks. Here you can store everything that does not require a special temperature regime and that you do not want to drag into the house-soil, fertilizers, pesticides, bags of grain and feed, etc. You can also organize a small workshop: install a workbench, store machines and tools. Convenient, practical, everything at hand.
6. Use the plot area to the maximum
If you want to Park your Quad bike under the roof, put down construction tools, and organize a small workshop, it’s not a problem. You can use several quick-Assembly containers. it is easy to make different combinations of them, which will fit even in non-standard sections.
7. Experiment with shapes and colors
With the parallelepipeds of farm structures can “play” with both parts designer, connecting them with tents, decorating pergolas, painting planes in different colors.
Quick-Assembly containers vs capital buildings
How to implement all these ideas quickly and not too expensive for the family budget? As you know, in the “price — speed — quality” formula, you can only select two items. In this regard, quick-Assembly containers look like a reasonable compromise.
They are, of course, not cheap — but at times cheaper than a capital structure. They do not need a Foundation and are installed on any leveled, compacted surface.
These containers are called quick-assembled for a reason: they are sold in disassembled form (this reduces the cost of transportation + you do not need a crane for unloading and moving) and are assembled on site without special tools. That is, on the day of delivery, you will already be able to use the new building. And if necessary — just as quickly disassemble and move to a new location.
The container is made of galvanized steel: it does not rot, does not require painting (unless you yourself want to change its color) and repair, not in the teeth of any rodents. The service life is at least 10 years. A natural ventilation system will protect the contents from dampness. In addition, you can also install a vandal bar that blocks attackers from accessing the keyhole.
With a standard container width of 2100 mm, you will not be able to make a car garage out of it, but it will become a reliable shelter for motor vehicles — motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, as well as for boats, lawnmowers, bicycles, etc.
Collapsible containers are a reasonable solution when you need to quickly and efficiently build a farm building. And with a little effort and imagination, you can make a real art object out of a simple metal box.
