Stages of constructing a point foundation from formwork tubes and a wooden frame
After reviewing the project, we move to the stage of marking the foundation in the field, you will need: string, a level, and a tape measure. We also need boards/billets to create carpenter’s footings that help mark out the locations of the posts.
This is a very important construction stage, because any errors in level or diagonals can lead to problems with twisting the frame or properly setting the skeletal structure on this base.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WOODEN FRAME IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INVESTOR
The next step is digging holes for the future posts, installing the formwork, and pouring concrete. Before pouring, it is good to reinforce the formwork with rebar and stirrups.
The final step is to screw the wooden beams to the solidified concrete using various anchors or screws.
If we do not plan to insulate the frame or if we have ordered a cabin with an insulated floor, at this stage we can impregnate the frame and wait for the cabin assembly.
We can also insulate the frame with wool and protect it from below with a rodent-proof mesh.
After filling the free spaces with wool, we protect it from above with a breathable foil.
