Cabinet option on the balcony.
Relatively small spaces of our apartments stimulate to the efficient use of each square centimeter residential and non-residential area. Balcony, sometimes replaces the city resident and garden, and workshop, and a place to relax. Align all these features allows you to properly planned the space of these 2-3m 2. Built-in wardrobes are successfully coping with the task, and the cabinet makes the usual storage room to the main balcony decoration.
Where to begin
Often, the balconies provide niches for the device of cabinets (example in the photo), but before proceeding to the installation of the upgraded storage room, you should know:
- The glazing of the balcony will preserve the attractiveness of wooden finishes for a long time, protects from dampness and direct moisture ingress;
- Installation should be started from the repair of the floor if not, then be sure to be the part where the bottom of the cabinet will be located;
- The elimination of all the cracks and cracks, as well as the additional insulation of the walls and the floor will protect against drafts and sharp differences of temperature modes.
Such a simple introductory instruction contributes to the preservation of a wooden plating so that it will be happy with his naturally beauty for many years.
Mounting cabinet
What you need
In order to set the cabinet to the balcony of the clapboard, the following materials will be required:
- pine bars 40x40 mm are suitable for making the framework of the future "repository". Note that the wood is dry and did not contain rot;
- the bars of smaller thickness will be needed to create a frame of doors (can be replaced by not wide boards);
- metal corner - for connecting wooden elements;
- for shelves, both boards and chipboard sheets corresponding to the thickness are suitable;
- handles for cabinets, loops, latches, locks must be made of metal corrosion resistant (so as not to spoil the appearance of the product);
- to connect to each other layout of the wallboard, it is better to use kleimers, but the tapping screws on the tree and, too, are suitable;
- and of course, the lining itself (for the cabinet and doors you can take various in width, texture and color of the plank).
Important! The wardrobe on the balcony, built into the finished niche, consists of two concrete walls, and long anchor will need for fastening on them.
For convenience in work I use the following tools:
- mounting level, roulette, pencil;
- hammer, hacksaw, screwdriver;
- perforator.
Calculation and Choice Lining
But everyone's preferences are here, as well as financial capabilities. It should be noted that the price of lining depends on its grades and quality.
Important! The class C for the lining is the lowest and does not fit both for the insulation of the balcony and for the manufacture of a cabinet or any other furniture.
To avoid unjustified spending, both money and time (for additional trips to the construction store), we offer an example of calculating all materials.
Suppose your closet has the following dimensions:
- Lower frame: 2x0.5 + 2x1.5 \u003d 4 m / p.;
- Top frame: 2x0.5 + 2x1.5 \u003d 4 m / p.;
- Vertical racks: 4x1.8 \u003d 7.2 m / p.
Optimally, you will need 8 pieces of a two-meter strap: 4 for vertical racks, and 2 on the upper and lower frames.
Based on the size of the selected lining, as well as the design of the cabinet, the required number of panels are bought (permanently calculate the area of \u200b\u200ball surfaces covered with clapboard).
Important! Laminated DVP leaf consolidate as the back wall of the cabinet. The water resistance and density of this material will serve as additional protection against dampness, guaranteeing the durability of the design.
Before starting to build a wardrobe on the balcony of the lining, see this training video, and then proceed to securing the frame on the walls of the balcony.
The first to collect the rear and front frame of the cabinet, connecting the corresponding bars with metal corners. We recommend to make flooring from the OSV sheet, chipboard or moisture-resistant plywood to the floor (bottom of the cabinet).
Attention! The photo shows that a metal corner is not used to connect a bar. The compound is made by screws on a tree with a length of 60-75 mm.
- As mentioned above, it is better to use a leaf of laminated chipboard for the rear wall, which is pre-attached by a construction staple or self-drawing to the rear frame;
- The entire design is fixed by anchors on the end wall of the balcony, in accordance with the markup made earlier (for this we use the mounting level);
- The bars of 0.5 mm are attached to the frame and recorded by anchors;
- The front frame is first fastened to the ends of the BRUSEV, then (to give stiffness) anchors attach to the floor, ceiling and walls;
- Guides inside the cabinet simultaneously serve as the base for the shelves.
The inside of the cabinet is ready. We now turn to the finishing of the whole design with lining.
Working with clapboard
The appearance of the entire balcony largely depends on how to make the door from the wallboard on the closet.
Therefore, we consider stages all the process of the trim:
- To create doors, mount the frame of the corresponding dimensions from the board or thin bar. Doors should be simultaneously both light and strong, for which we recommend choosing a thinner lining;
- To give stiffness to the door frame, a diagonal jumper is installed;
- Locating on a flat horizontal surface of a ready-made door frame with nails or decorative platbands in the door trim
The finished door (or sash) is watered on the loop, pre-fixed in the frame. After the closet for the balcony with its own hands from the lining will be completely assembled, spend the cleaning of the entire room. Swap all the wooden surfaces and follow the final operation - cover the product with protective varnish.
When buying a varnish, pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions:
- what premises are allowed to use this tool;
- varnish can be both colorless and contain coloring pigments;
- observe the recommended temperature regime when working.
Conclusion
Do not be afraid to experiment with forms - the wardrobe of the lining on the balcony should be not only the presture of conservation, tools or seasonal things. It depends on his type and construction solution whether a balcony will be a modern chulana or a comfortable place for recreation and work.
According to the old tradition on the balcony and loggia, things are stored who did not find a place in the apartment. And so that these small size rooms do not become a landfill, a good storage system is needed. The most practical option is a built-in cabinet on a balcony or loggia. Often everything is required - to make construction sites on which shelves will be held and put the doors. With such a task, it will easily cope with your own hands even at a minimum of skills.
Materials and designs
The design of the built-in closet can be divided into two parts: it is a frame and door. Sometimes, if the side rack is needed, there is also a trim.
What makes a frame
Racks for the cabinet most often make from the bar. The cross section is about 40 * 40 mm or 50 * 50 mm. The option is not bad, but on the unheated balcony there may be high humidity. And the tree is such a material that changes the dimensions depending on the humidity. There is one more point: not in all regions the timber is cheap.
There is also an option - collect the frame on the profile for plasterboard. It is perfectly attached to any sheet material type, etc. If you take galvanized, then no humidity problems are scary.
What makes the shelves
The easiest all the shelves cut in size from the sheet material. This is all the same chipboard - the usual or laminated, thick plywood, sometimes you can use, but the shelves for weights should be desired on a wooden frame.
It is possible to mount them on the place prepared on the frame - installed bars or on the self-tapping screw. There is an option - corners straight to the wall. But it is good if the walls can be drilled by self-drawing at once, otherwise it is for too long to plant each shelf on a dowel. Then it's easier to assemble the frame and put on it.
There is an even easier way to make shelves on a balcony or loggia: use metal guides and brackets to them. These systems are used in stores, but for this case, they are more than convenient: height changes easily with a sufficiently small step. Just the brackets outweigh the other holes.
With such an organization, it is necessary that you need to put the doors. So the cabinet is ready for the loggia or balcony.
By the way, it is possible to make something similar and wooden bars: recesses under the shelves with a certain step. You can make cuts saw, and then remove the chisel.
Often shelves make sliced \u200b\u200bpieces of boards. Since the width of the balcony is usually small, all sorts of trimming are in the case. Only so that they do not lose their kind for a long time and easily wiped out, they need to cover something. And at least the glazed balcony and loggia are more related to indoor premises, paint products take for exterior work, like protective impregnations. They contain substances protecting from the effects of ultraviolet. Without them, after a couple of years, wood will have a pitiful look.
So that when working in the apartment is not too "smelled", you can take a water-based lacquer. It does not create films, but the dirt into the surface is not absorbed.
What are the doors
In the closet on the loggia or balcony doors make three types:
- ordinary swing;
- sliding - by the type of cabinet compartment;
- roller shutter.
All these doors can be on the entire height of the cabinet, but it is more convenient to divide it into two or three parts, and to hang your doors for each.
The most inexpensive - swing doors. We need the doors and loops themselves, and "put" them easily easily. Sliding systems are expensive. We need guides - upper, lower and side, as well as a roller system that is installed on the door leaf. But this option is attractive in that it saves a place.
The most expensive - rolling shutters. But they are attractive in that they go ready-made set, and the installation is basically "attached" to the purchase.
About how to collect sliding doors for a balcony cabinet watch video. Much will become clearer.
How to make a balcony wardrobe on a wooden frame
First cut off the 4 racks on the required height of the cabinet. If you plan to do it until the ceiling, you measure each other, and do not cut the same. The height is often different. Sliced \u200b\u200bracks are fixed. The distance between them defines the depth of the cabinet, but most often depends on the existing location. How much is there, so much and use.
If there are three deaf walls there are no problems. Bruks are fixed on a dowel. Plus the wall to the wall, impose his verticality, bring through the drill holes under fasteners in the right places. The bar is cleaned, insert plastic plugs from dowels in the hole in the wall. By installing the bar in place, screw the screws to the wall.
If you make a closet on the balcony, one side is attached to the wall, and the second to the frame elements or only at the top and bottom to the ceiling and the floor (using reinforced metal corners).
Another option for a similar case - if you need to close something with something window glass - set the wall near the window (for example, from LDSP), fix it at the bottom and above the corners to the floor and the ceiling, and then attach to the wall (and to the stream and the floor) Brous frames.
Then the transverse bars are nourished. They give the whole system a high degree of rigidity and the shelves will rely on them.
In order not to "walked" the place near the glass, this part is also occupied by shelves. Since the width of furniture is different, often make two separate small cabinets: on the bottom and on the upper half. They often differ in depth: the bottom can be done wider and hiding there heavier and overall things. The top closet in this case can be done less deep. In this case, the top of the bottom cabinet can be used as a tabletop.
Corner cabinet on loggia: photo report
First, the loggia was covered with clapboard. Immediately after that, the cabinet began to make the same lining. It was decided to wish the corner to not close so much the window. On the opposite side, the cabinet takes almost the entire width, slightly reaching the balcony door.
Racks did not miserably. I knocked bars on the ceiling and to the floor, to them walls. They turned short - in three places. The planks were knocked out to the walls of the walls, which was put on the same lining, carved by the resulting form of a closet.
At the top and bottom of the doorway, blew the loop across the opening. The remaining distance was measured, 1.5 centimeters were detected on inaccuracies and such a length was cut by lining on the door. They needed six pieces. They shot down with four transverse slats shot down in the door. Covered using conventional loops.
In the free space between the wall of the cabinet and the casing of the balcony, two shelves are nailed. A little later added slightly higher with rounded edges. The last stage was knocked off under the ceiling and on the floor of the plinth (close the slots), then grinding the lining with the skin and painted with a mourn.
Drawings and schemes
It is impossible to talk about any standards regarding cabinets for balconies. And the size and configuration, and the glazing is all different. Therefore, even with the size of the shelves, it is necessary to determine "at the place." But several examples that you can change as you need to give.

How to make the cabinet doors from the lining?
Elena, Berezniki.
Hi, Elena from Bereznyakov!
(These are the most, where "Uralkali"?)
Beautiful carving on the house where you are sitting. Yes, and the track from the edged boards looks original.
For that person, what makes such things, the manufacture of the door of the cabinet made of lining would not be labor.
And so, there are no special difficulties for the manufacture of such doors. True, if you do it for the first time, you will try to try.
The first thing should be a desire to make something with your own hands, the second is the presence of a set of the necessary tool. Workplace. Material.
Desire to eat. The set of tools should include a roulette, a construction kit, a pencil, a tree-hacksaw, a hammer, a knocker, a knife, a knife, a planer, a chisel, other tools in the form of various and more complex things can be needed, but without it it will be possible to do.
If the cabinet itself is already available, then the opening in which you are going to insert the future door must be framed by wooden bars around its perimeter.
According to the classics of the genre, it is desirable that this wooden bar will still be and selected in a quarter. Or instead, from the inside, the planks should be nailed, so that when the door is closed, they do not fall into the opening, and they would simply be flush with the surface of the front wall of the cabinet. But if this is not, then okay, you can do.
I will not paint how to make the fusion cabinet doors with built-in loops, this is usually done in the options for kitchen and other headset cabinets.
Let us dwell on the simplest option when you use a pair of loops on one door leaf. / Although instead you can use one piano loop of the required length. /
At the accompanying sketches, it tried to explain the manufacture of doors in detail.
The first thing we take a wooden bar with a cross section of 30/30 millimeters and more. If your cabinet is small, then the cross section takes less, and if the cabinet is a height of about two meters, then the bar must be taken more than a more cross section. Approximately 40/40 or 40/50 millimeters. In short, approximate sizes, you can play them in one direction or another.
The bar must be acute from all sides, it will not hurt to polish it with the sandpaper, so that there will be no burrs and jackets and in risen.
Then you measure the opening of the cabinet itself (or do it in the image and likeness like the doors themselves).
Bruks in their ends are roasted in a quarter, as indicated in the picture.
Alternatively, they can be made in the form of a spike-groove connection, as indicated on another figure. But it will be somewhat more complicated, here you will additionally need to drill holes, which are then combined and they are clogged with sharpening (wooden rod).
The dimensions of the door frame make a few millimeters less than the size of the wardrobe itself. 2 - 5 millimeters. Then the frames will not interfere with each other when closing the door.
All bars of the frames are attached to the self-tapping screws with a length of a little less than the thickness of the bar.
Sometimes the corners of the door frames are additionally strengthened with metal window corners. They are freely sold in construction stores. Fasten such corners on the inside of the door. It is important to observe the diagonal. That is, the diagonal of the frame must be equal to each other.
After you make sure that the door frame is fluidized in the frame of the cabinet, hinges are attached to it. One at the top, the second below. For which the distance of the loop is measured from the corner of the frame and attach a loop so that its axis leaves for the outer surface of the frame. Exactly without distortion. Disinpeced by a pencil loop outline and the chisel chosen the wood to the depth of the thickness of the loop.
After the loop is screwed with screw-screws to the frame, the latter is inserted into the opening of the cabinet and it marks the sample of wood in the bar of the opening. In order for the frame to not sag, and did not hit the bars of the opening, it is nourished in the opening at the top, bottom and on the side opposite to the one where the loops are located, minor nails technological planks of the thickness of 2 to 5 millimeters. Then the gaps will be permanent. And the planks are cleaned after the second half-halves of the loops in the opening of the cabinet.
For small doors take window loops, for doors height from one and a half and up to two meters take the door loops.
If the loops should be installed incorrectly (incorrectly each other, without making their surface flush with the surface of the door bars or opening), then it will be possible throughout and they will need to be corrected, for which it is sometimes lined under loops thin wooden plates or scoring old holes from screw-screws with wooden choppers And screwing fasteners in other places.
After fitting the frames, starting to the door frame of the lining. Here everything is elementary. According to the construction unit, mark the place of sawing of boards, saw, handle the sandpaper, install on the frame of the door and nail, splice all the boards. For this, galvanized carnations are taken or finishing (with small hats or without them) with a length of 40 millimeters.
An extreme board adjacent to the side of the frame where the loops are located, it can be carved in the field of fit to hinges. This eliminates the gap between the wall of the cabinet covered, too, by clapboard and the door of the door.
Sometimes the option is used when the boards of the lining slightly protrude along the top and at the bottom of the door frame. In this case, the lining of the cabinet itself should be slightly less than the frame of the cabinet itself. This eliminate the gaps at the top and bottom of the door.
Cabinets can be both with a single-door door and bivalve. Everything is also done identically, as for one sash. And between the doors on their joint, technological gaskets are also inserted, which are then cleaned. In order for the bakeless doors between them, the slit can be seen, a strip-oscillator bar is nourished to one of the door halves.
In the event that the doors spontaneously open and closed, with their external sides install a pair of shapingals. Sometimes hooks or magnetic latches from the inside. That is, use different options.
If the cabinet door is about two meters high, then in the middle of the door additionally it is necessary to place another transverse liner bar.
So, as far as I could, told about the doors of the cabinet made from the lining.
If you do, it is not the likelihood that the first damn will be com. Do not despair. For it has been done well what has been done twice. Improvise, fantasize, show the smelting and everything will turn out.
I do not know how for an ultra-modern kitchen, and for the gardening house of a similar design of the cabinet will be enough enough. Cheap and angry.

Shelves on the balcony will help in rationalization of space. If you close the mounted shelves with doors, you can get a closet almost embedded in a niche. Hinged models or folding, wooden, glass or original, shelves differ among themselves and on the principle of openness: some of them can be open, others closed. Depending on the design of the balcony, its dimensions should be selected by some models.
For the open balcony, folding structures are suitable or mounted, which makes a whole rack. The closed balcony gives more space for fantasy, as weather conditions are unlikely to affect the products. By the way, if the balcony is closed, but not heated, that is, in the cold season, the temperature is significantly lower in the room, rather than at home, it is worthy of moisture-resistant materials for the shelves - high-quality wood with treatment or stainless steel metal.
Let's talk about these horizontal elements: materials, fastening methods, about what will be needed to create shelves with their own hands and how to think through the functional and durable design for the loggia.
Materials
- Chipboardit is famous for its low cost and practicality. Shelves from chipboard are performed very simply, easy to process material allows you to create from the most simple structures to interesting collages with space for storage. Create a real wardrobe on the loggias simply thanks to the shelves: you can buy a ready-made design Il to make it yourself. The chipboard is often used to create furniture for storage and especially in the conditions of the loggia. It is important that the material has a special coating from moisture and swelling, provided that humidity is increased on the balcony or a sharp temperature change occurs.
Wall-mounted furniture objects on a balcony of chipboard are suitable for the arrangement of any balcony in any style. If you do not give proper in the interior design of this space, then install the simple constructions of the color of the light tree, and it will become not only a practical piece of furniture, but also a modern and concise feature of your loggia.
- Metal also serves to create mounted shelves on the balcony. The main thing is to choose a solid and lightweight basis for creating shelves on the loggia or purchase an already ready-made design. For open balconies, choose stainless steel or aluminum; These materials are hardly subject to weather conditions and are not deformed from moisture in contrast to wood or chipboard. However, metal products can change the form due to too heavy things that are stored on the shelves; This causes to select a certain thickness of the design and the material used to create it.
- The tree is used for the manufacture of furniture, and the shelves for the balcony did not exception. Natural wood capriciously, so do not install any elements of furniture from it on open loggias or those that are not insulated.
- Glass as a base for mounted shelves is not less common than the materials listed above. Glass shelves rather serve as decor element than a functional storage system.
- Plastic - inexpensive and practical material, which in terms of its qualities is superior to the chipboard. Plastic shelves in the composition of the rack are perfectly withstanding dampness, moisture, temperature change, so it is useful for the arrangement of an open loggia. However, plastic does not withstand too heavy cargo and does not always look stylish.
How to make yourself
Balconies are different in their parameters, which requires an individual approach to the creation of furniture for it. If simple mounted shelves can be purchased in the store, pick their size is easy, then the designs of several shelves like a cabinet, forcing the alternative. An excellent solution will be the creation of mounted wooden shelves on the balcony with their own hands.
To begin with, it is worth determining the layout of the shelves: to find the future of the furniture item right on the walls, to facilitate work and improve its quality, use the level: it will make the drawing as accurate as possible. After applying marking, it is worth stocking of the necessary materials: bars, sheets (MDF, chipboard, wood, lining). By the way, this, and subsequent paragraphs of the article are devoted to the production of a small space for storage on an open or closed loggia.
Pribe 4 bars to the walls of the balcony of 2 bar on each side of each other, which form a niche, they will serve as a base for fastening. If you wish, you can install the back and side walls for the shelves, the bars can be attached to the same walls and hang elements from chipboard or wood. Next - Krepim sheets due to self-drawing on the frame, having previously attached them to the place of attachment in order to make sure that the design and functionality of the structure. It is important to determine the required height of the shelves and produce correct measurements so that things from the shelf are simply rolling.
After attaching sheets, it is worth thinking about their design: leave them open or protect the extra doors. For the manufacture of doors, the loops will be required, doors themselves, handles and magnets. Here you can show fantasy: it is not necessary to make the cabinet completely closed; Combine open and closed shelves, and you will get an original and functional rack.
Make interior elements for storage from the clap can also, more precisely, it will be good to look a balcony with similar shelves. By the way, the lining is practical in comparison with the chipboard, it is better to take a pine or spruce as the basis - they are thermo- and moisturely stable, durable and practical. If you cut the items yourself, then each of them should be treated with sandpaper or grinding machine, additionally, they can be treated with varnish or other coating predominantly transparent color, otherwise the natural shade of the tree will disappear.
Corner
Create an angular rack in a loggia simply, while you can use a tree or metal depending on the preferences and climatic conditions in space. The angular structure is incredible functional and especially useful on the closed balcony and even an open loggia if competently approach the issue. With an open loggia, leave those section of the rack, which do not fall directly sunlight and is, it is unlikely to blew the wind, the same recommendation is useful in the manufacture of a design in a closed area.
Corner structures on the balcony are optionally formed by a rack, it is enough to place the finished elements over the other and secure them with the original carved or strict on the design of the bracket.
Hinged shelves
Hinged shelves on the balcony that do not form the rack will be appropriate on the balcony in small quantities. It is convenient to put flowers, books, any other decor and useful things on such shelves. Their location does not oblige to the classic installation over the other, show fantasy and place furniture items like a staircase - at different levels.
photos
Thanks to the shelves on the balcony, you can get the original and practical interior of the room, for example, as in the photo below. Rectangular designs of the location on each other scattering in compliance with proportions. Figure 1.
The balcony is a satisfied small space, when the arrangement of which is almost all the question arises: how to use it with benefit and for convenience?
Most often, it is used as a small recreation area or for storing rarely used things. But the harder to organize this small space in such a way that it does not seem like a landfill. To do this, you need to equip the cabinet on the balcony.
The most practical and easy way to make it with your own hands is to use lining. Especially effectively he will look if the whole balcony is also trimmed with wooden clapboard.
The durability of the cabinet on the balcony
In order for the wardrobe on the balcony to look harmoniously, it is better to sew one of the lateral sides and make it directly in this niche. On the loggia it is simpler, because any of the short sides is already the rear wall of the cabinet. But before starting the installation and installation of the cabinet, the balcony needs to be prepared.
First, the cabinet on the balcony makes sense to put only if it is glazed, because the impact of the external environment will significantly reduce its service life.
Yes, and look at the cabinet on the open balcony will be ridiculous, except for the case when it is just a small stand at the height of the railil. However, moisture, temperature drops and the sun's rays will quickly lead it into disrepair.
Secondly, it is very important to prepare the floor and the wall to which the cabinet will be mounted. The smaller the temperature drops on the balcony, the longer the place for storage will last. Therefore, it will be optimally if the balcony will be insulated. And on the floor under the cabinet you can lay an additional sheet OSB.
Only after preparation can be started directly to the installation of the cabinet.
Tools and materials for making cabinet
So, for the manufacture of a reliable and beautiful closet, you will need:
- wooden bars 40x40 mm - for the cabinet frame;
- thin bars - for the door frame;
- lining;
- metal corners;
- boards for cabinet shelves;
- accessories (handles, loops, lock, etc.);
- nails, selflessness, kleimers.
Brux for the frame can be taken from low-cost trees, such as pine, they will still be hidden. However, the quality of BRUSEV should be good, only dry and clean wood.
If the cabinet is fully built-in, that is, its walls will be the walls of the balcony, then you need to prepare long anchor bolts by which the cabinet frame will be attached to the walls.
What instruments will be needed in the course of work:
- drill;
- screwdriver;
- a hammer;
- saw;
- level and roulette.
Calculation and selection of necessary materials
First of all, before starting work, you need to decide on the clapboard, from which the cabinet will be made. It is best for this that the lining of trees are suitable for this, which do not emit resin - linden, cedar, ash or oak. The more expensive the lining and the higher her class, the more beautiful the closet will look, and the longer it will be.
After all, the quality of the lining is also the quality of its processing. But it is not recommended to acquire the lining of the lowest class with all the same, since it is not suitable for its functional features. Therefore, how much money to spend on materials for the cabinet is the choice and solution of each wizard.
How to calculate the number of required materials for the cabinet? Suppose it will be the depth of it 50cm, the width of the cabinet - in the width of the balcony - near the meter, and the height is 1.8m. For the upper frame, you will need 2x0.5 + 2x1 \u003d 3 m / m / m / m / m / m / m / m / m / m / m / m / rum. As well as 4 vertical racks of 1.8 m - 7.2 m / p. That is, you just need about 14 MPU BRUSEV for the frame.
To calculate the required amount of lining, you need to consider whether the wall cabinet will have a balcony walls, or they serve. In the second case, the lining is needed only to cover the cabinet doors. Of course, acquiring all the necessary materials, you need to take a small margin, given the possible marriage or error in the calculations. It is better then to apply the remnants of the materials somewhere than to go to buy the missing piece.
The back wall of the cabinet is best to close the laminated hob. It will increase the moisture resistance of the cabinet, and it will last longer.
Cabinet assembly and clapboard
To assemble the cabinet frame, first mount the front and rear frame of the cabinet. To do this, combine the bars with metal corners. The connection of the bar can be made without the use of the corners, but then the screws will be needed not shorter than 60mm.
Frames are attached to the frame 50cm, they are also fixed with anchor bolts. Then the front frame is attached to them.
In order for the design to be more rigid and durable, the front frame can also be fixed to the walls and the floor. Next, the shelves are put inside the cabinet.
Cabinet clapboard
If the walls of the cabinet are the walls of the balcony, the covering of the cabinet with the lining will be only only in the door trim. At the same time, the lining should be as thin and easy.
First you need to make a light frame from thin bars. The size of the frame corresponds to the sizes of the future door and should be equal to half the front frame of the cabinet itself. So that the door is more durable, you can add the crossbar. Next, fasten to the frame of the lining, do it you need small cloves. After that, the handle and loops are attached, as well as decorative platbands, if provided for.
When the door is fully ready and covered, the loops of the other side are attached to the frame and the door is hanging on the closet. The final stage is the mandatory treatment of wooden lacquer with varnish or paint. The first option is more preferable because the color and structure of the natural tree will continue, which in itself looks very beautiful. In addition, the coating varnish will extend the life of the lining.
Thus, make a comfortable, practical and beautiful cabinet on the balcony with their own hands is not difficult, but the result is definitely worth the efforts spent.
