We make a roof drain for our own hands

If you live in a private country house ordacha, you probably know how, during the rain, streams of water from the roof drain to the ground, abundantly moistened with spray walls. The problem here is not only in the aesthetic side of the matter: for a few years of such "water procedures" the foundation may be seriously damaged.

But all the negative consequences will be solvedpreviously installation roof drain. Of course, today they are sold in stores, and companies that perform the installation of gutters, and do not count. But why overpay extra money, when all the necessary operations can be carried out with our own hands, without attracting specialists for work from outside?

First, you need to select the material from whichyou will make a sink for the roof. Most often they are made from a strip of galvanized metal, as it can be found on any construction base for acceptable money. In addition, you may well remain surplus after roof overlapping or similar work. Measure the end of the roof, determining its length. We will make plums of water from the roof of sheets of material, the width of which is 25 cm. The longer the sheets of the material available for you, the less it will be necessary to fasten the segments together. In addition, do not forget to buy a wire with a diameter of up to three millimeters, as well as a set of screws and bolted connections.

We use metal

При помощи электроинструмента режем листы на the corresponding segments. We advise you to work mechanized, since the cut quality in this case is much better. With the help of a self-made machine from a bar we bend the future drain for the roof at an angle of 90 degrees. At a distance of 0.3-0.4 m from each other we drill holes in the fastenings in them. In the holes that have been made we pass the wire loops, bending them so that it is convenient to hook on the attachments you purchased for the sinks.

During installation, parts of the system must bethe friend is overlapped, and for reliability between them it is possible to fill in some sealant. It would be quite good to make a drainage system under the walls of the house in the place of the drainage or simply to dig up the storage capacity in the ground. The accumulated water can be used to irrigate the infield. Of course, the system of drains must have a slope, otherwise the water will not go in the direction in which you planned.

We use plastic bottles

It is possible to make a drain for a roof even easier, having spenton it is even less finance. In general, you will spend money only on fasteners. First, find as many ordinary plastic bottles as possible, with a volume of one and a half liters. Their color is limited only by your aesthetic preferences. Work - you can not imagine: you cut off the bottom and neck, gently cutting through the sidewall. After doing this manipulation, you need to insert the bottles into each other, fastening them together with a wire or sealant. We catch the construction on its proper place and admire our work.

As we already said, there is a way even easier:just buy a ready-made drain system in the store, then mount it on the roof. Since it is very easy to make a drain from a roof in this way, even a very inexperienced builder will cope with this. It should be noted that the design should be properly secured, as a gust of wind lightweight plastics can disrupt.
