Atmospheric water is one of the main reasons for the early wear and destruction of building structures. If you do not protect the house from its destructive impact, the famous source of life will be stubbornly "told" the foundation and gentle.
Excluding the negative impact can the drainage system, with the construction of which will easily cope with the home master. Only you must first find out how to arrange the drainage with your own hands so that it serves flawlessly.
Among the functions trusted in roofing systems, evidence is indicated. The flow of precipitation and melt water contributes to a bias peculiar not only to the scope, but also. However, work on the protection of facades and scene with the foundation The inclined configuration is not in a state. To protect the roofs located below the designs requires drainage.
Classification according to the degree of organization
In order for the total effort to be the cause of quite reasonable pride, it is necessary to deal with the constructive subtleties and technological nuances of the drainage system.
According to the degree of organization, drain systems are divided into two types, it is:
- Unorganized. According to the inorganized draft of precipitation and the results of the melting of snow carried out freely. In all areas of the skates, water simply flows into a break, land or a crucible track, persistently infective property inspired by initially damage.
- Organized. According to an organized scheme, all types of atmospheric water, aspiring down the skates, are tracked with water-made gutters or funnels. They are then removed through pipelines to a point intended for collecting and disposal of stormwater.
Note that the SNiP Regulation 31-06-2009 allows for the use of an unorganized version in private construction. Regulations are allowed not to use the drainage system when arranging the roofs of single and two-storey cottages. True, the cornese swells at the same time than the full-fledged 60 cm, it is not necessary to build, and the input groups and balconies should be equipped with visors without barcasts.
The organized option is obligatory for buildings with a floor of three meters, but the maternity hosts do not refuse it when equipping one-story houses and household buildings. It is worthwhile, if you make your own hands are not too expensive, and the benefit of it is quite real and economically noticeable.
The drainage systems of organized varieties in turn are divided into internal and external options. Characteristic for flat roofs. External universal, they successfully participate in the arrangement of almost all types of roofing structures. Here their device and technology of installation will be carefully studied.
Constructive specificity of waterproof
All external water removal systems with roofing of any type and steepness include two main components, this is:
- Receiving devices. These include gutters, trays and funnels intended for direct collection flowing from scanty planes of water.
- Drainage pipes. Vertical areas of drainage, designed to remove the assembled water, followed by transferring it to the storm sewer or with discharge of effluent to land beyond the breakdown.
In the outer drain family, there is another unit on systems with wall, mounted and remote gutters, but they only have the difference in the location of the water-receiving device. The most in demand by our wall-mounted version as the easiest and most practical one.
For the attachment of the drainage systems, the hook-shaped brackets are used to fasten the strips or front board. Clamps are used to fix horizontal sections of the drainage. Together, a set of basic and fasteners makes it possible to quickly and easily, like a designer, collect and install drainage.
The choice of fasteners for fixing the grooves depends on the type of construction work (repair is carried out either new construction):
- Long metal brackets are used in the device of the drain system before laying the coating. Fasten them to reshetami or rafting legs.
- Short metal brackets are used in the process of repair work. They are fixed on the frontal board.
- Plastic hooks are used when carrying out repairs or with new construction, if a plastic drainage system is laid. The fastening of plastic parts is made to the frontal board.
The brackets are fixed with an anti-corrosion fastener with wide hats with a diameter of no more than 8 mm. The mount is produced by galvanized screws, self-pressing with pressshabs, ordinary roofing self-draws. The diameter of the working part of the fastener is at least 4.2 mm.
The hook installation step defines the material from which the drainage is made. For metal systems, it varies from 60 cm to 90 cm, for a distinction of copper contours from 30 to 60 cm. Under plastic gutters, the holder hooks are installed after 50 - 60 cm.
The drain system can be purchased in full assembly and prepared for installation. Its modular elements are discharged so that from individual components it can be done without any problems to build drainage for the roof of any area and configuration. Using industrial prototypes as a template, it is possible to make elements from affordable and submitted materials, such as plastic bottles, roofing tin or polymer sewer pipes.
Drainage pipes and water-driven devices are with a rounded, rectangular and combined cross section. Rectangular and combined species are characterized by a larger "bandwidth." This characteristic is not too interesting for private traders, because for the arrangement of cottages most often enough option with an oval chute.
The size of the drainage system depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe processed roof:
- If the roof area does not exceed 70 m², then the gutter of the drain should be Ø 100 mm, and Ø of the drain pipes is 75 mm.
- If the roof area ranging from 70 m² to 120 m², then the gutter is needed Ø 125 mm, the drain pipes Ø 90 mm.
However, when choosing a form and cross section of the system, it is not necessary to navigate only on the specifications, because The drain plays a considerable role in the design of the exterior.
Materials used in production
The specificity of the operation of the outer type drainage limits the choice of materials suitable for the manufacture of systems. It is clear that they will have to endure all the direct contact with atmospheric phenomena. So, the elements of the drains are obliged to be frost-resistant, "indifferent" to pouring rainfall, snow departments and a scorching sun.
The following materials are used in the manufacture of drainage pipes, water drones and gutters:
- Roofing steel. In priority galvanized variants, sheet thickness of 0.63 mm or 0.7 mm.
- Corrosion resistant roofing steel. Analogue of the previous position, but with a protective-decorative polymer shell. In production, sheet metal rolling with a thickness of 0.6 mm to 0.7 mm is used.
- PVC. Polyvinyl chloride produces light plastic waterproofs with a wall thickness from 2.2 mm to 3.3 mm.
- Aluminum. Systems are made of light solid metal with a thickness of 0.8 mm. Decorative protective functions of aluminum drains performs a polymer shell.
- Copper. Luxury material, pleasing service life of 150 - 200 years, but cooling dust by solid price. Wall thickness 0.6 mm.
- Zinc-titanium. New word in the production of drainage with excellent performance characteristics. The price tag is also a lot of frequency, but the incredible service promised 100 years is forced to look at the specified trading position. The thickness of the material used in the manufacture of 0.7 - 0.8 mm.
The choice of drainage system by type of material is focused not only on personal preferences and financial capabilities of the future owner. To a greater extent, it depends on the species of roofing and the architectural features of the private house.
Expensive copper and zinc-titanium options are appropriate on the roofs with ceramic tiles, a sheet roofing with copper, shale tiles. Budget PVC perfectly harmonizes C, steel drainage is immaculately combined with metal tile and professional flooring.
Purely economic reasons are most in demand by galvanized steel and PVC waterways. The first will last 10 years, the second 25 - 35 years, depending on the manufacturer's assurances. It is difficult to distinguish the optimal option on the resistance to atmospheric attacks, because The performance characteristics are very similar. However, the metal is preferred in the northern regions, and in the temperate climatic zone of plastic.
There are no special differences in the design and in the sequence of installation of steel and polymer drains. Practically the same gutter, pipes, funnel are supplemented specifically for them produced removal, couplings, tees, plugs.
To take into account only the fact of a linear expansion occurring during the heating of systems. Polymerics are able to lengthen 5 times more than metallic, which can be neglected in linear plasters.
Options for self-making
The elementary design of the drainage gutter is unlikely to puzzle homemade craftsman. Everything is extremely simple: after meticulously performed marking of the sheet metal, you need to cut into stripes and bend according to the preferred cross section configuration. Cutting and bending can be done manually, but it will be wiser to do it on a bending machine.
With pipes will have to tinker. They can consist of several links depending on the height of the pipeline area and the size of the sheet. The algorithm of its own production of drainage pipes looks like this:
- Cut. It is performed with special care and taking into account allowance for roller compounds.
- Formation of longitudinal edges. Flags are made by lines of batteries for roller seams.
- Roll of blanks. They produce on roller machines or manually using a mandrel: straight long tube or bar.
- Complete with roller seam. Calculated billets are connected according to the markup and are pressed on the mand-applied earlier.
- The narrowing of one side of the link. Sushing at 5 - 6 mm in order for the upper link freely into the lower element.
- Formation of robbing rollers. They are formed on the upper and lower edge of the links through the wires of the wire. Manually produced or using Zigmashin.
- Assembling drainage.
Rolling of metallic blanks will require the most effort if it is done manually. Each of the crooked blanks are stacked under the mandrel and, having grabbed the edge, diligently bent in one place.
Making sure the formation of a sufficiently curved plane, the workpiece is moved by 20º - 30º relative to the mandrel used. Then bent again until it accepts the desired configuration.
It is much easier to produce the manufacture of drainage from sewage polymer pipes. They are released with a rather extensive side of the shaped details suitable for the construction of full-fledged systems. In fact, the home master will need only a groove by dissolving a solid pipe into two symmetric parts.
Power assembly and installation
With new construction, the installation of drainage systems is carried out on a fully prepared solid black flooring, rafters or a firmly attached crate. All works on the base of the base under the installation of the roof by the time the drainage of the drain should be completed.
When carrying out the repair recovery of the roofing system, it is necessary to eliminate defects in advance or replace the winding board at all.
Rules of design and calculations
Before starting the work, the drain route needs to thoroughly think over and draw the laying scheme. Project preparation will help competently calculate the flow of pipes, gutters, the number of funnels and fittings. It is better in advance in the drawing to try different options and decide how you can make impeccable drainage with your own hands so that your own efforts and funds are embedded.
The drainage system configuration in the plan depends on the roof design:
- Two-batch equipped with two gutters along each eaves. If the skate length is not more than 12 m, one funnel is mounted on the chute in a handling of the corner convenient for the installation. If more than 12 m, waterfronts are installed on both corners and one compression in the middle of the skate.
- Single-piece equipped with one gutter. The number of water-receiving and compression funnel is calculated according to the standard for scanty planes, as in the previous paragraph.
- Four sheets are equipped with gutters around the perimeter. All angles are equipped with waterfronts. Long skates are equipped with compression funnels, which are recommended to have symmetrically relative to each other.
Compression funnels are needed to provide a reserve for linear expansion when the drainage is heated. At the same time, they will play the role of rigidity ribs and prevent the sagging of a long gutter.
The calculation of the number of rotary elements and drain pipes is purely individual. It all depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe covered roof, the height of the building and the length of the skate. There are general rules for the assembly and installation of drainage, which should be taken into account regardless of the type of design, material system, configuration and roof dimensions:
- The installation of the drain is performed according to the "top-down" scheme. First collect and assemble the water bridge: a gutter with funnels, then drain risers.
- The gutter is mandatory installed with a bias in the direction of the water drone. The slope is formed by a decrease in 2-3 mm of the system for each running meter.
- Svet roof is obliged to overlapping a chute on 1/3 of its width, so that the drops are not overflowing through the water intake.
- The outer edge of the gutter must be lower than the line, conditionally continuing the skate, 2 cm.
- There should be 30 - 70 cm between the outside of the front board and the edge of the eaves.
If there is no technical possibility to install a chute according to the specified distances, the roof is mandatory to equip with snowstand.
When designing, it should be noted that the fastening of the waterproofing clamps to the wall, covered with siding, can only be done on the crate.
Installation of the polymer option
Do not forget that polymer elements have properties to expand when heated. Therefore, from the edge of the front board, we retreat at 5 - 10 cm on both sides if the linear form system, and apply compression parts on long rods and corners.
Consider the simplest example of the installation of the drain system on one slope with the fastening of the brackets to the frontal board. Along the cornese sweep, a chute is laid, ending in a convenient corner of the angle of the waterfront with a riser attached to it.
The actions of the independent assembly will be held according to the following scheme:
- Lobby markup. We celebrate the point of attachment of the extreme bracket under the chute. We do not forget that it should be on 3 × n mm above the opposite point in which the funnel will be located (n the distance between the attachment points in M). We note the point of the central axis of the funnel according to the calculations.
- We establish an extreme bracket and a funnel according to the markup. The funnel is better to buy already with a plug, located on the demanding side of the watershed.
- Between the installed extreme dots of the system stretch the twine. It will indicate the installation line of intermediate brackets. The closest Bracket must be removed from it to the manufacturer specified by the manufacturer (5 - 10 cm). According to the markup, we make the installation of intermediate brackets.
- Install the chute. His elements are starting to the far edge of the hooks and snap. On the details made in the factory setting, there are markers of the assembly direction, restrictive edges and tags for the temperature regime, indicating in what position it is necessary to connect the parts with specific degrees. We work according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Equip the edge of the gutter with a plug. If the funnel bought without a plug, then it is also.
The assembly of the drainage is usually performed after laying the roofing coating. The process can be divided into three stages: the construction of the transition to the riser, the device directly the riser and the attachment of the removal.
The final stages of the assembly of the drainage system are carried out as follows:
- We put in the pipe of the funnel transient knee. It must be stopped. To switch to the drain pipeline, two knees with an equal angle will be required. Transitioned knee produced by 67º or 45º.
- Apply the second knee to the wall with an equal angle. We measure the distance between them and cut off the pipe obtained. We cut the metal with a metal, cleaned from burrs.
- We collect the transition, the bottom of the knee of crepary clamp.
- On the facade strictly under the funnel, place and fix the clamps under the waterfront. Standard distance between Clamps 1.5 m, maximum 1.7. But it should be possible so that each segment of the pipe accounted for at least one clamp.
- We note the point for fastening the drain, the lower edge of which should be above the surface of the earth for 25 - 40 cm.
- Fix the clamps, collect the drain pipe, the clamps should not be tightened until it stops to leave the drainage system with a slightly moved to linear expansion.
If the connecting clutches were used in the mounted, their fasteners should be noted to fix additional clamps in the points noted. We do not forget that the drain riser must be flawless vertical, because the markup on the facade is performed using a plumb.
Upon completion of the assembly and installation work, the means of protection against clogging are established. The gutter is preferably equipped with a grid that prevents clogging from the penetration of garbage and foliage. If the drainage system is too easy or on sale there was no suitable lattice, the mesh is shred to the funnel on the funnel.

Specificity of assembly and installation of metal drainage:
Detailed demonstration of the manufacture of drainage from sewage pipes:
With the installation, assembly and even with the manufacture of the drainage system, you can cope with the personnel. The main thing is to adhere to the technological rules and comply with the prescriptions of the manufacturer.
Is it possible to save on the drain system? In search of cheap options for organizing the rainwater removal, the craftsmen are trying to make parts for the grooves on their own, from the primary means: plastic containers, galvanized steel sheets, pipes. Is such savings justified? What is more profitable: buy factory details or instinct himself? How much does the homemade chute last? In any case, there are only 2 ways to spend less:
- Save on installation and assemble and install drainage.
- To figure out how to make a funnel and gutter of the drain of the girlfriend, and construct your own system.
Copper drainage system
System Calculation: Home Dressing Planning
At the planning stage make marking - notes the places of installation of horizontal (gutters) and vertical (drainage) lines. After determining the element, the number of additional parts that are needed to build a system are required: fasteners, plugs, connectors, funnels and adapters.
Method of grooves and the number of funnels: how to calculate correctly
The number of horizontal lines depends on the roof design and the length of the row. The simplest system of two gutters and two drain pipes is the optimal option for a bartal roof with a total area of \u200b\u200bup to 100 square meters. m and a skate length not exceeding 10 m.
Scheme for calculating the number of flow lines
In this case, there is no need to make a double slope from the center. And you can make a gutter for the drainage of the drain, both from ready-made and self-made details. The length of the horizontal tray is equal to the length of the skate. Diameter - 10 - 12 cm. The tilt of the runoff is up to 2 - 3 mm on the pattern meter. Factory parts are released standard length - 3 m.
The number of funnels intended for draining water from the tray into the drainage tube is equal to the number of horizontal lines. If the length of the straight area is more than 10-12 meters, then 2 funnels and 2 drain pipes are installed at the edges.
The main parameters of the installation of grooves
If the total number of funnels in the planned scheme is two, then calculate the length of the drain pipe simply. The height of the building from the lower edge of the roof to the level of land is multiplied by 2.
When planning more complex designs, calculations are performed for direct lines, drainage and plan installation in complex areas (on protrusions, in the corners) with the selection of special products - angular connectors.
Additional details: fastening hooks and connectors
To make a gutter for the drain, will additionally need:
- 2 plugs for each horizontal line.
- Connectors - every 3 m if prepared parts are connected.
- Brackets - 10 m - 20 pcs. The distance between the hooks must be within 50 - 60 cm.
The hooks are chosen depending on the type of fastening. If a strong front-distance board is installed under the roof of the roof, not covered with clapboard, it is more convenient to install a box for short brackets.
When fixing on the rafter, the finished adjustable or unregulated hooks with the extension can be selected. Such fasteners can be made independently of thick steel widths 3 - 4 cm wide.
To connect a funnel with a pipe, you will need 2 knees of 40 o to output the drain on the pipe installation line. For fastening the pipe to the walls, special holders or clamps are used. Connect pipes with connecting couplings.
What is cheaper: make a gutter yourself or buy ready
After calculating the number of parts and total length of horizontal and vertical branches, you can choose from what and how to make a gutter and waterfront funnels to simultaneously save and install a system that will serve at least 10 years.
Plastic PVC designs
The easiest way to make a chute yourself is to assemble a line from ready-made PVC trays and connectors. Plastic systems are cheaper than metal-polymer. Treatment and installation do not require special skills. The material easily cuts with a hacksaw, in the kit there are all the necessary connectors. For the assembly do not need professional tools.
The advantage of PVC gutters - aesthetic. It is possible to choose a system into a tone with roofing or the color of the covering of the underpantle. The material does not fade in the sun, withstands significant temperature differences.
Metal components
Metal-plastic drains are steel products in the polymer shell. The cost of parts of metal is above plastic. The service life of the drain - from 30 years. Material has high strength - withstands the load during the convergence and melting of snow, it does not crack in the frost. Used in waterproof systems without restrictions on the temperature regime.
Work with Metal-Meritary Details requires preparation. Cutting of molds is performed exclusively with special scissors or handheld for metal. The use of cutting discs is not allowed - the material can not be overheated during processing.
Transport products in a protective film. When assembling, accuracy is needed - it is impossible to damage the polymer layer.
The only drawback of the metal-polymer drain is the noise of the gutters. If we plan to install the drain on a low house with an attic, prefer the quiet polymer trads.
Materials for the manufacture of metal parts with their own hands
To make the drone of the drain and chute with their own hands, use galvanized steel and plastic pipes for external sewage.
Factory drain from steel
Galvanized steel is sold in the form of sheets. To make items, we need certain skills to work with the metal. The system collected from products made by a handicraft method will not be durable - during cutting the thin zinc layer is damaged, and the edges at the bottom of the cutting remain without anti-corrosion coating.
To work with steel you will need:
- A special machine for bending or wooden blanks that will be used as a base for the formation of a gutter.
List flexion on a wooden base
- Scissors or Bulgarian for cutting.
Sheets are cut according to planned sizes, bend in shape and bend the edge as a fold for the subsequent connection of the part.
Connect the parts of the box among themselves in two ways: hot soldering or installation of steel connectors, which are fixed by screws.
Alone to make a gutter from steel sheets is unprofitable. Disadvantages:
- Difficulties with a compound due to inaccuracies in the geometry of parts.
Special machine for working with steel
- Little service life - until the appearance of holes in the handling box, a maximum of 2-3 years is passed.
- The process is time consuming and takes a lot of time.
It is better to try to assemble a simple system from sewer pipes. Choose parts designed to install outside: pipes for external sewage - orange. Color It is necessary to accept - white or gray pipes are designed for installation indoors, the material of the manufacture does not have frost resistance, resistance to ultraviolet and high temperature. Taking into account the fact that the summer of the drain is under direct sunlight at a temperature of 40 o, and in the winter - on a 20-degree frost, even season 1 will not be able to serve the pipe for internal work.
Details for independent manufacture of drainage
To work, you will need:
- Half of the planned gravity pattern in the form of orange sewer pipes with a diameter of 100 mm.
- Connecting clutches for pipes - by the number of points of compounds on horizontal branches.
Coupling for a jail connection
- Pipes for drainage in quantity equal to the estimated flow of drainage.
- Adapters with a tap to make it yourself funnels for drainage.
Tee with a tap on the 90th - for a funnel
- Knee: 2 for each funnel.
Knee with different angles are used for installation when referring: in the corners, under the funnel
- Sealant for plastic - frost-resistant and moisture-resistant, for outdoor work. You can use glue composition on acrylic or silicone basis.
For convenient operation and quick installation, you can choose the pipes of one diameter for gutters and drainage and thus saving on waste.
How to make a chute and consolidate the funnel with your own hands
For assembly and fasteners of horizontal plots of drainage, simple tools will be needed:
- Rule with level, chalk or pencil, fishing line or thread.
- Screwdriver, screws.
Installation of brackets: Installation of finished and homemade mounts
First of all, it is necessary to secure under the roof brackets - hooks that hold trays.
When using short unregulated brackets, they note on a frontal board with an extreme point where the first fastener will be recorded. The distance from the edge of the roof is up to 15 cm. From this point form a line with a slope. The distance to the last fastener in meters is multiplied by 2. The resulting value is the difference in the height in millimeters between the first and last bracket.
Distance from hook to edge of compounds
Example. If the distance between the hooks is 8 m, then the height difference: 8 x 2 \u003d 16 mm. This is the minimum allowable inclination value. Maximum - 8 x 3 \u003d 24 mm.
Bias and calculation of the number of brackets
The installation points of the extreme elements are connected. According to the designated line, fasten with a step of 50 cm brackets.
If you set hooks with extension strips, then after fixing on the flooring of the first bracket, the distance between the upper edge of the board and the middle of the hook is measured. From this point form a slope towards the funnels.
Easy way to make the right slope
To simplify the process, you can make the folding of the fold right on the extension stripes. Put a number of numbered hooks online. From the twenty point of the first spend a straight line. At the extreme bracket, the desired slope value is measured and put a label below the first line. Connect with a point on the first element. When installing, the hooks are attached on the line, and the extension can simply be flexed on the markup.
Installation of fixtures with extension
Assembling plastic and metal-plastic structures
Plastic trays are connected to each other with special parts. Calculate the dots of the joint so that the indent from the edge of the connector to the hook was at least 2 cm. If the connectors with rubber seals are selected, then the gutter is installed so that there is a gap between the edges of the two connected trays. This distance is enough for the free turn Details at temperature expansion.
The second method is adhesive. The connector is treated with adhesive composition: 3 strips of sealant are applied. Two - along the edges and one central. Press the chute to the connector, the remnants of the adhesive are removed.
At the edges of the line, plastic plugs are installed.
Plugs, funnel and brackets on the edge of the line
The funnel is mounted on the principle of the connector. The indentation from the extreme bracket to the edge of the funnel was up to 5 cm. If the factory funnel is equipped with a seal, then no additional sealing is carried out.
The connection is performed on the brackets or install the parts connected on Earth if 2 masters work.
Instructions for the manufacture and assembly of water pipes from PVC pipes
When selecting sewage pipes for homemade drainage, pay attention to 2 important points:
- Choose the products of the average price category - preferably from frost-resistant PVC for styling in the ground.
- Do not save on connectors - they should be from the same material as pipes (orange, for outdoor installation), one manufacturer.
How to make a gutter from a conventional sewer pipe? Cut along the pipe exactly in the center: there are two gutters with a length of 3 m. For the grooves it is better to buy pipes without connecting wheels.
Changs from sewer pipe
For cutting, it uses hacksaws, a jigsaw, or a bladler with a disc (preferably with large teeth).
Tray with a connector on the roof
Connecting clutches are also cut in half - 2 gutters connector are obtained. Inside the coupling there is a seal - it is cut separately and laid into the part.
Marking for cutting pipes and docking parts
The places of compounds must be sealed with an acrylic or silicone building sealant.
What makes a cap? When buying tees for funnels, choose products with decorative lids. The lid should be cut into 2 halves, glue with sealant to the edges of the tray.
Tee with factory lid on thread
Just like the connector, the upper part of the tee is cut. The product is cut so that the removal is under a chute. Fix the funnel on sealant or screws. To the bottom hardware join the knee-up up.
Art homemade funnel from the sewage tee
The pipe is collected from pipes with connecting terminats. On the top tube you need to install a removal of 40 - 90 o to connect the drainage with a gutter. Measure the length of the segment between the knees. Sliced \u200b\u200ba piece of pipe without fubs and connect the system.
At the bottom of the unit, it is installed - the knee is set, it cuts off the item so that the drain fall into the center of the rain period or in the ground, up to 40 - 50 cm from the edge of the scene.
Video: How to make a gutter for the drainage of the sewer pipe
Is it worth saving on the drain? If the roof design is a simple duplex or four-page, you can save on the installation work. Savings on the material is very doubtful. If we consider that even expensive external sewer pipes are calculated on the installation in the ground, and not outdoors, it is possible to predict how much the homemade system is served - it is impossible. In addition to the diligence, there is another drawback: a very controversial appearance of the design. Such waterproofs are suitable only for temporary household buildings in the country.
Budget plastic drains are designed for year-round use in all weather conditions. Special connectors, brackets and adapters will facilitate the installation process. And if you choose delicious connectors, then collect the system will be able in a couple of hours.
When you built a house or cottage, you began to equip it, then you will have a need for drainage from the roof. This problem will give yourself to know immediately after the first rain, since all the water from the roof will pour on the steps, the foundation and even the walls that is not good. Your task to build a water outflow system from the roof, that is, drained. There are two options: buy an already ready-made design or construct it yourself. The first way is much cheaper and will save money, however, you will have to make some efforts. It is necessary to choose from which material the future drain will be performed, what it will be forms, and where all the water should be drained. With all these nuances you can figure out, reading our article. Moreover, we will look at why it is necessary to drain, in particular, what functions it performs, what are the requirements for these elements, from which it consists and, directly, how to make a plums from the roof with your own hands. Let's learn about everything in detail.
And yet why
Drain is an important part of the design of the whole house. Its presence is very important for several reasons. See the house in which there is no roof drainage system can, probably, only at the construction stage, since this system is usually made first. And all due to the fact that it performs important functions:
- Protective function. Thanks to the plum, the precipitation does not fall on the walls, the foundation, steps and the break. This is the main purpose of plum. When it is absent, the base of the house for 5-10 years will simply collapse. Water will fall on the foundation by leaving the ground, as a result of which the base will be blurred. Moreover, traces of water, lower and stains can be formed on the walls, which will spoil the aesthetic look of the entire building. Yes, and the porch steps are destroyed over time.
- Collection from the roof water. This is especially significant for the owners of a large garden or garden, because rainwater is very good to water the plants. If the drain pipe is left to a special container, barrel or big tank, then after good rain you will have an additional water source. This is useful not only for the soil, but also for your wallet. The presence of such technical water does not prevent anyone.
- Element of the decor of your home. If you make a beautiful sampling with your own hands, you can add a common picture of the house, giving it a complete view.
All this makes the draining system of an important component of the whole building. Without it, of course, you can do in some cases, but this is fraught with undesirable consequences.
It is worth noting that it is also impossible to make draining on a quick hand so that it function correctly and for a long time, you need to comply with some requirements:
- The product should have high strength, resistance to various mechanical deformations and high loads. It must withstand the strong gusts of the wind, hail, the weight of the stratum of snow in winter, etc.;
- Durability. The material must be resistant to various external factors, corrosion from water, withstand temperature differences and atmospheric precipitation.
- The last but important, - a good appearance, because no one wants one detail to spoil the entire facade.
All these requirements are important to observe, then your efforts will not be in vain. But what material can be drained from, and which one will be better? Let's find out.
Materials for manufacture
The water removal system is made from various materials that differ in their characteristics and price. Two basic material for the manufacture of drainage can be distinguished:
- Metal.
- Polymers.
These are the most common materials from which you yourself can make water removal. If we talk about metal, then it costs more than plastic due to its strength. In the manufacture of drain, it is additionally covered with an anti-corrosion agent and a decorative coating, because, as is known, the disadvantage of the metal is a tendency to corrosion. In addition, during the operation of the metal drain from time from time to time, it is necessary to additionally process the same means to damage, dents and scratches that may occur during operation, it has not broke.
If you want to make a metal design, it is better to choose such:
- cink Steel;
- copper;
- aluminum.
To make a drop of galvanized steel, it is necessary to purchase it in sheets whose thickness reaches 1 mm. For additional protection of material from corrosion, the material coated with polymers is chosen: polyester, plastisol or pural.
Aluminum design is pretty light, which is its advantage. The sheet thickness can be from 0.8 mm to 1 mm. Special varnish are used to protect the material. It not only protects aluminum, but also improves its appearance. Serve such structures for a long time, and if aluminum is not in contact with other metals, rust will not be formed on it.
The advantage of copper products is that they do not need to additionally process. Such a tide is considered more durable, beautiful and high-quality, it is ideal for the manufacture of a water removal system if your roof is made from another metal. Copper, like aluminum, should not be contacted with other metals. The only minus is a high price of material.
Note! During operation, copper is covered with a greenish chain - patina.
Another thing is plastic elements. They do not need additional processing, more durable and are not subject to corrosion. Increased strength, durability, silentness and resistance to ultraviolet - all these functions made plastisol and polyester by the main materials that are ideal for the manufacture of low ties. Drains made of plastic have another advantage - polymers can be of different colors, so you can choose such that is suitable in the color scheme for your home.
Note! It is worth noting that the price of plastic is significantly lower than the metal, so polymer plums will cost you cheaper.
If we talk about the minuses of the material, then there is one significant: at low temperatures, plastic becomes fragile. And, despite various additions in production, in severe frosts, plastic can crack, which is why the tightness of the entire system will be disturbed. True, if you live in a region with a temperate climate, this lack you will not disturb.
Considering all of the above, you can decide what material for the manufacture of draining water from the roof of the house to choose. Before proceeding to the production of popular, let's find out which elements it consists and how it is arranged.
Components of water removal system
To begin with, it is necessary to determine what exactly is made, because the drainage system consists of various elements:
- Chute. One of the main elements of the whole design. It serves to collect water from the roof rods. It can be round or square, fastens horizontally from the bottom of the roof. The size of the gutter depends on the skate area, which it will serve.
- Trumpet. The vertical part of the design that allows you to divert water into the place you need, whether it is a drainage system or a container for collecting rainwater. Pipes are attached to the wall of the building.
- Livnevnik or funnel. An element that connects the chute with the pipe.
- Turns and corners. Constructive elements that allow you to bypass the house, various protruding elements, etc. Thanks to them, you can also mount the pipe at a different distance from the wall of the house.
- Plugs. In those places where the funnel is not provided and the pipe is installed.
- Compound of chute. When the wall has a large length, the gutter with each other is connected by special connecting elements.
- Fasteners for pipes and gutters, allowing to secure these elements to the wall.
- Trap for leaves. Sometimes a trap that looks like a grill is mounted. Thanks to her, the leaves do not penetrate the system and do not clog it. You can only periodically remove the leaves from the trap.
As they say, it is better to see once than hear than a hundred times, so the following is a diagram in which you can clearly see all components of the system.
How to find out how much material is necessary for work
Before starting to work, you need to solve another question. It should be decided how much to buy a material for the draining construction so that you do not have to spend money on delivery again. Yes, and excess material can lie dead for a long time until you decide to use it during the construction of some kind of economic building.
So, how to correctly calculate the amount of material, it is necessary to create a drain. In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. To work, you need to arm a roulette more than 5 m, a pencil or handle, as well as a notebook for records. It all begins with the fact that with the help of a roulette is calculated by the overall metrar of all the gutters around the perimeter. The resulting number will show you how many meters of the material is necessary for the gutters. All data write down to forget anything. And, of course, do not take the material up to a centimeter, a small margin is required.
Note! The height of the grooves can be of two types: round and square. What type to choose depends on your own preferences. Only it is worth noting that it is easier to care for round products, as they are easy to clean. Square form does not allow you to carefully remove the dirt in the corners.
Now you need to figure out how many funnel will go to the system. Make it even easier. Usually one funnel is installed on the groove every 10 m. If the house is small, then often the funnels put just at its corners. If the length of one of the walls of your dwelling exceeds 10 m, professionals are recommended to make several drain points. The number of funnels should also be recorded.
Calculate how much pipes are required, you don't even need, since this number will be equal to the number of funnels. All you want to do is measure the distance from the roof to the Earth or the place where you want to remove the water to find out the desired length of the pipe itself.
Turns and knees are calculated strictly individually according to the constructive features of the facade of the house. It all depends on the number of customary angles, obstacles and turns. Consider the desired distance of pipes from the walls.
Upon completion of all counts, it is necessary to know the required number of fasteners: brackets and clamps. The brackets will be recorded with a gutter with a pitch of 60-80 cm. It is necessary for the total length of the grooves to divide into the distance between the brackets. So you will learn how many things you will need. As for the clamps, which pipes will be attached to the walls, it is definitely difficult to say something difficult. Basically, 2-3 clamps are enough for one pipe, it depends on the height of the wall. Look at the number of pipes in your drainage system and determine the number of clamps.
That's all, the calculation is over. It was the easiest stage of the building of the drain, much more difficult to mount it. Now you have to look at your records, and go with them to the store to purchase all the necessary material. When everything is ready, you can proceed to work.
How to independently make drain from the roof
Consider how to make our own drainage from plastic pipes, as this is the easiest and most effective option. As practice has shown, the best materials for this case are plastic sewer and ventilation pipes.
To work, you will need such tools:
- Bulgarian.
- Screwdriver or screwdriver.
- Roulette.
- Cord or thread.
- Saws.
- Sandpaper.
- Level and plumb.
- Marker.
- Silicone sealant.
- Forest or staircase.
And as materials required to purchase:
- Plastic pipes with a diameter of 80, 90 or 110 mm, of which the gutter will be made. They are cut in half.
- Plastic pipes with a diameter of 50 mm, which will perform in the role of vertical pipes for draining.
- Plastic fittings, which will be funnels, connecting the chute and vertical pipe.
- Top angles and knee, thanks to which the gutter can go back the corners of the building, as well as change the direction of vertical drain pipes to the right place.
- Plastic plugs for pipes that will also have to be cut in half.
- Plastic brackets and metal clamps.
First of all, it is necessary to decide on the cross section of pipes, which depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof itself. There is a special estimated formula for which you can find out the necessary diameter. If the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof slope is 50 m 2 and less, then it is better to use pipes, the diameter of which is 80 mm. When the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof scope is 125 m 2 and less, then the pipes are chosen 90 mm. And when the roof rod area is greater than 125 m 2, a pipe is required, the diameter of which is 110 mm.
Note! The funnels, crops and adapters will be required, but their diameter is determined based on the diameter of the pipe, which departs from the gutter.
Now we will produce a gutter - this is the hardest work that requires accuracy and correct calculation. Pipes that need to dissolve in half will be used as the grooves. Cut them will be easy, but to make it smoothly - difficult. From one pipe you will receive two identical gutters. That's what you need to do:
- Take the pipe of the desired diameter and place it on the boards. For the convenience of work, lock the pipe with a screw to the board.
- At the very top, on the front side of the pipe, retreating a few centimeters, exactly in the middle screw the screws into it. Do the same on the other hand. Screw the screws to the end do not need.
- Between them pull the thread. Watch everything to be smoothly.
- Now marker marked the cut line on the pipe.
- Remove the thread and, focusing on the markup, begin to cut the pipe with the grinder. For security purposes, work in protective glasses. Make sure to smoothly cut the pipe, as the general type of gutters will depend on it.
- It remains to be done in exactly also from the opposite side of the pipe. Only now the pipe to the board is fixed in two places, because, sawing the pipe, you made two separate parts.
- Depending on the number of necessary gutters, saw all the pipes intended for this purpose.
- Using sandpaper, work out the sections of the pipes on the pipes.
So you can independently make a gutter that will be the basis for the drainage system. Now you only need to connect the elements of the gutters together, given the necessary length on each wall. One with another finished gutter will be connected using self-tapping screws. Since it is a sewage pipe, one end is wider, it is possible to connect them very simply;
- One chute is inserted into another 5-10 cm.
- With a screwdriver or self-pressing, secure them with each other in three places: on the sides and below.
- The finished mount can be lubricated with silicone sealant to prevent water flow.
- To make an angular gutter, you need to take a knee, and for you already familiar to you to cut it in half.
- At this stage, in places where vertical pipes will be located, it is necessary to insert a plastic fitting and fix it with self-draws. Again you need to connect the connection to the sealant.
Note! When you connect the items with each other, do not screw the screws too tight so that the joints of the compound be a bit movable. Due to this, the design will walk under the influence of wind and different temperatures, not destroying.
We can say that your water removal system from the roof is ready, it remains only to collect all together and perform its installation at a designed place.
All stages are detailed in the video material:
Rules for installation of drainage system
Before installing your homemade design, it is important to familiarize yourself with some rules for installing water removal elements. They concern not only plastic products, but also any other. Compliance with these rules is very important, since thanks to them the design will fold for a long time and correctly perform their functions.
- The installation of the grooves around the perimeter of the house should be carried out on the windshield bar of the eaves, the edge of the rafter system, directly on the roof. It is better to choose the first two ways. But it is worth noting that it will be easily implemented in the case when the drainage system is set at the construction stage of the house, before the roofing material is laid. If you have already completely built your home or cottage, you can mount the gutter on the edge of the roof.
- When metal pipes are used as chutes, the brackets must be exposed at a distance from 80 cm to 1.5 m. If the gutter is made of plastic, the minimum distance from 60-80 cm.
- The gutter needs to be attached so that they are easily caught the flow of running water. To do this, it is necessary to retreat from the roof of the roof on a third cross section of the pipe, so that two thirds of the gutter perform, and the water fell clearly into them.
- So that water does not accumulate in the gutters, they need to be installed with a bias to the funnel. For each 1 m, the slope should be 3-5 mm. It will be enough for the water to be blocked down in a funnel.
- The distance of the top edge of the gutter from the edge of the roof should be no less than 30 mm. If this requirement does not observe, the whole design can be reduced by a snowing mass or ice, which will come down from the roof.
- It is important to ensure good sealing of the joints so that the water does not succeed through them. To do this, you can use either sealant or pipe seal - round gum. It must be cut into two parts and put the connection to the place where it will be screwed by self-draws. It will also serve as a thermal gap, which is required to make the design to be movable.
These are all the rules that you need to observe when installing the water removal system. Now it remains only to apply everything in practice!
Installation of a system from sewer pipes
First you need to select the starting point, that is, the place from where you start work. Since work will be conducted at the height, take a stepladder and check whether it is reliable. You should be especially careful, because gravity can play a dick joke. The installation process itself is not quite complex, adhering to the instructions, any builder of the amateur can be performed. So let's consider everything in stages:
That's all, now everything else needs to be done around the perimeter.
The water removal system from the roof is ready. What the most important thing is that you have spent the minimum of funds for its purchase, as they made it yourself.
You can make a homemade grille from the construction grid to protect the system from foliage. It will take a certain number of mesh meters that need to be cut into such a width to, turning it into the cylinder, you were able to get a diameter, slightly less than the diameter of the chute pipe itself. Make such cylinders and place them in the gutter, securely fixing there. This will protect the design from all sorts of garbage.
Advantages of drainage from sewage pipes
Why did we consider the design that is made precisely from plastic pipes? There are several reasons for this. One of them lies in the fact that it is easiest to do it yourself. As you yourself noticed, there are no special difficulties in assembling, and the process itself is quite simple. The system of plastic has several advantages:
- Low price. If your tools are limited, this is the perfect option for you. Since the material and all additional items are a bit, and no one will have to pay for anyone, you can afford it.
- Large assortment of goods. In construction stores you can buy pipes of different diameters and colors, fittings, knee and fastening elements.
- Small weight. Thanks to this, you can easily transport pipes, and more importantly, install them into place. All work can be performed by yourself, without the help of friends or relatives (this will allow you to do without Magarych).
- With plastic easy to work. Pipes just cut with a grinder or hand-hacksaw. Everything cuts as oil. Therefore, special efforts to cut down the pipe in half do not have to apply.
- Sewer pipes are not corrosion, resistant to temperature fluctuations and ultraviolet rays.
If you have an additional questions, ask them below in the comments to the article. If you have already done such a runoff system, share your experience: how much time she serves to you whether there were any problems when installing or during the operation that you can advise inexperienced masters.
Reading time ≈ 3 minutes
The correctly equipped drainage system guarantees not only the trouble-free operation of the roof, but also ensures the safety of the walls and the foundation of the structure. The drainage system, competently and intelligently mounted with their own hands, is not inferior in quality and reliability to systems made by professionals.
Necessary materials and tools
Before starting work, you must have a necessary set of tools and devices:
- screwdriver;
- a small corner car "Bulgarian" with a cutting circle for metal;
- pistol for sealant;
- hoven for metal;
- a hammer;
- roulette;
- level;
- set of scissors for metal;
- capron thread;
- roofing sealant;
- roofing screws of suitable color;
- pencil or marker.
Accessories for the installation of drainage include:
- drainfall;
- a set of pipes and knees (based on the height of the building);
- short cornese hooks;
- drain funnels;
- plugs and clamp compounds of yellow with a ribbed gasket;
- fastening elements for mounting drain pipes to the wall of the building.
Drawings and drainage diagrams
Step-by-step instruction on the installation of the drainage system
Installation of the drainage system can be performed during or after and the device of a wooden cover of the building cornice.
1. Getting started to independently install metal drainage for the roof, it is necessary to pre-draw a small drawing, thanks to which, you can purchase the required amount of materials and determine the layout of the elements of the future design.
2. After reading the theory and photo, how to independently do drain, you can start a practical part of the upcoming work. It is first necessary to secure the first hook for the installation of the fool at the beginning of the roof fuse. Then, using the level, it should be determined to determine the desired bias (at least 2 cm per 1 meter running) and set the most extreme carnome hook.
The kapron thread stretched between these hooks denotes the installation line of the remaining hooks, which must be attached in increasing no more than 600 mm. At the same time, there should be no more than 150 mm in the place of docking the distance to the mounted hooks.
3. On the edges of the horod, plugs with rubber gaskets. At the same time, all the places of compounds are thoroughly labeled roofing sealant.
4. After installing all the hooks, they are mounted for composite elements of the water for collecting water.
5. Recaling the installation site of the drain funnel at the lowest point of the referee, it is necessary to cut the hole of the appropriate diameter under the drain of water using the metal scissors. With the help of a hammer, the edges of the neck in the cut-cut hole are bent outwardly in the direction of water movement.
6. The fools are connected to a solid well with special locks connections with rubber gaskets from the inside. During this process, it is necessary to strictly control the correctness of laying of rubber gaskets. The joints are processed by roofing sealant.
7. An expanded funnel is installed on the carved hole in the horror, to which the knees with inserts from pipe sections are attached, based on the distance to the wall of the building from the edge of the eaves.
The drain helps to keep the roof and walls of the house from excess moisture. Now buy your favorite system of drainage is easy in the store. Famous brands offer protection against moisture, and specialized firms with warranty.
The cost of this is rather big, the amount goes big. You can purchase a drainage system in the store, and save on the installation. And even better to make such a device itself, putting a little effort and knowledge.
Materials for homemade drains:
- plastic bottles;
- pipes for sewage;
- wood;
- galvanized metal sheets;
- copper sheets of metal;
- profiles for drywall;
- ceramic water disposal.
Sewer pipes are suitable at their price, fortress, weight and availability of various adapters.
Important! Not all sewage pipes are suitable for external work.
- Gray pipes, fear of strong frosts.
- Brown pipes, the strongest, patient to loads and large frosts. Under the influence of prolonged sunlight, ultraviolet destroys and the surface begins to crack.
- White pipesUsed for home installation work.
Therefore, choosing pipes for drainage should be on weather conditions in its region.
After determining the material for the drain, the consumables are calculated.
Different diameter of pipes is suitable for different area of \u200b\u200bthe roof skate:
- S.< 50 кв. м – трубы диаметром 8 см;
- S.< 125кв. м – трубы диаметром 9 см;
- S\u003e 125 sq. M. M - pipes with a diameter of 10 cm.
For the drainage scheme you need to know some parameters:
- the perimeter of the roof;
- length and number of grooves, stocks;
- places of joints and fasteners.
The perimeter of the roof divided by 2, and will be the length of the gutters. Pipes will be cut in half. For example, the perimeter of the roof is 60 m, it is necessary to buy for the grooves of 30 m of the sewer tube.
Water-graded risers around the perimeter are at a distance of 5 m. Their length is equal to the distance from the eaves to the Earth. Multiplying, the number of risers on the length of the risers, we obtain the number of parts for the gutters.
Required for construction Details:
- drain pipes;
- brackets (10 m goes 18 pcs.);
- taps and funnels (how many plums);
- plugs;
- angles (depending on the angle of water drop from the roof);
- connecting for gutters;
- knee;
- adapters.
Required tools:
- screwdriver and self-tapping screws;
- screwdriver, hacksaw;
- bulgarian, Lobzik electric;
- roulette, rope, level.
For convenience, construction is needed with scaffolding or goats.
After buying materials, the preparatory stage begins. Prepared for pipe grooves, it is necessary to cut into 2 parts. To do this, you will need a Bulgarian, a jigsaw or hacksaw for metal.
Attention! The places of the gutter entering the tee do not cut up!
Installation
The chute passes under the slope. Attached brackets at a distance of the half meter from each other. The fastening of the grooves occurs under the level and with a stretched thread. 
The junctions between individual parts are embarrassed by a sealant or put on clips. The next stage is the installation of drain pipes, the joints are stuffed with sealant.
From plastic bottles
Lightweight and cheap material is plastic. Having a sufficient amount of plastic bottles can be made from them drainage. For this, dark bottles of beer or kvass are suitable so that garbage is not visible. 
As in the first case, we draw a scheme of the future drainage. We find the perimeter of the roof and calculate the number of bottles. Of 1 bottles will be released 2 halves 12-15 cm.
From the bottle, cut off the bottom and the neck, cutting in half the remaining part and model the chute with the help of a stapler.
Bottles to impose a mustache for 2 cm. The chute is attached to the roof with a screwdriver and wire. 
Watering is made from cut, but not sawdust parts, inserting one to another. The funnel is made of a bottle with a cropped donkey, inserted into the drain. The drainage tube can be placed in the container or bring to the soil.
From galvanized steel
Galvanized steel is considered a durable metal resistant to rust, frost and ultraviolet. The only problem - due to the temperature drops, fastening seams are diverged.
First you need to prepare the sheets of galvanized. Billet is cut off with scissors for metal, adding 1.5 cm for widths in width.
This material is easy to change the form. For foldings, it is enough to attach a ruler or a piece of timber to the sheet and knock off the hammer. To give a round shape, a pipe or log wraps with a sheet and pass with a hammer or a xy.
The finished design is cling to brackets. The gutter is laid by 10 cm. Funnels are made using scissors, bending the metal in its ideas. Pipes are bonded by clamps.
Pipe manufacture
For a start, the funnel should be designed and make an exemplary drawing on a sheet of paper. After you begin to endure the drawing on tin.
From the edges, a straight line with an indention from the edge of 0.5 cm and from the other in 1 cm is 1 cm. Cutting the part is bent, the precipitated edges at the right angle indent with 1 cm, and the other at an acute angle.
Folding the workpiece, the edges of the corners must enter each other. The hammer add tenacity on the tube seam. Having special metal bending machines, the process will take less time.
Funnel
The funnel consists of two different parts. The diameter should be equal to the diameter of the pipe. Parts of the funnel separately drawn on a sheet of tin. Cutting with scissors, as in the manufacture of pipes is left from the edge of 1.5 cm on the pitch. They must be shy.
The funnels at home are difficult to make a newcomer, so if it does not work, ready to buy in the store. It will not hit the pocket so much.
Brackets
Brackets help support chute. This important hook object can be made independently. It is better to take the material of the same width to make the brackets identical.
For this you need steel with a thickness of more than 2 mm, it will allow to keep weight. Stripes for electrical work work perfect for blanks. Dimensions: 40 cm for 2 cm. The workpiece is bent with a pipe and drunk nails into a tree using a lever.
After the manufacture, the two holes for fastening are drilled. Painted brackets, therefore, protected from rust, serve much longer.
The painted metal is protected from rust and corrosion. So, the life of the product from it increases.
For temporary design, brackets are made of wood. Cutting into a piece of bar of the groove in a piece. Some nourish them to the roof rafters.
Metal profiles for drywall
The profile is lightweight and durable metal is perfect for draining water. We go to the desired amount of material based on the perimeter of the roof of the house. 
Profiles around the entire perimeter of the house can be attached to:
- brackets;
- wire;
- bruks.
To protect against pouring water from the grooves, it is cut into 2 parts, the end above the funnel leave and bend to make an open source at the corner. Drain pipes and funnels will have to do from other materials.
From wood
Having a cottage or country house is easy to find this material. For temporary use for a short time, it is enough to spend a couple of hours.
Temporary drainage is made from the board of 150x10mm. The length of the board is equal to the double perimeter. For example, the perimeter of the oxle of the roof is 100 m, which means that the sum of the boards should be 200 m.
Boards are riveted with nails at right angles. The resulting corners of the mustache are connected by receiving long gutters. For temporary construction, there are temporary hooks from boards and iron. The resulting brackets cling to the gutter.
Bracket can be made of wood. A triangle with a planting for gutters is cut out of a wooden bar. The brackets are nailed with nails or screw the wire to the roof. When installing the edge of perpendicular chutes should be overlapped.
Adjusting the tilt of the gutter, proceed to the drainage. It can be made of fastening chips or making another chute that gets to the Earth.
The main task of such a drainage is to take water from the foundation of the house. Next, you can cut the groove to drain the water or lead it under the tree. Water from home should leave about 1.5 - 2 m.
Temporary drain looks a bit ridiculous, but he can serve for more than a year.
While the owners will not accumulate money or come up with another option. To protect the tree from moisture, it is possible to use a polyethylene film, fixed with tape, furniture stapler or small carnations.
There is another version of the manufacture of a gutter. Reducing a small log into 2 parts. The chisel, cutting the oval, it turns out a great chute. The method of attachment to the roof remains the same.
System Operating Tips:
- Get rid of fallen leaves and garbage put protective nets. It is easy to do it yourself. To do this, you need a small mesh, which is cut by strips with a 6 cm wide larger than the width of the gutter (3 cm more on each side). You can attach it with a clamp or wire.
- Cleaning the drainage from dirt and garbage will extend his life, protects against blockages. Clean with a brush or hands, cleaning sticks. The clogged drainage contributes to the flow of water on the walls and the foundation of the house.
Output
It is possible to make an independent water system. It is necessary to determine with the material to work, draw the scheme and proceed to work.
The main thing is to comply with safety. These types of drains will significantly save the budget and allow to make exactly the option that is closer to the owner of the house.
