determine what the porch will look like;

[zihadhosenjm40]

we measure the distance from the bottom edge of the door frame to the ground surface;
we calculate the gaps between the steps;
We specify the size of the entrance, taking into account the parameters of the opening area for the door according to its width.
Before setting up the formwork for the porch, calculations are made for the concrete foundation, referring to certain recommendations:

the width of the platform is made twenty to thirty centimeters wider in relation to the door structure;
the distance from the beginning of the porch base to the door threshold should be within one to one and a half meters.


When deciding how to make formwork for a porch with steps, you should:

choose a staircase option for the entrance.
Structurally, everything can be implemented in different variants, providing for:

railings for easy climbing;
partial or full glazing;
open access on each side;
decoration with forged elements.
It is possible to install a porch without railings or employment data the installation of a locking grate.

Depending on the configuration, the entrance staircase can have different shapes:

rectangular;
round;
square.


Having chosen the dimensions and decided on the design, before starting work it is necessary to determine the need for materials.

We begin to build the foundation for the future porch, for which:

we mark the outline of the structure;
we prepare a trench 0.4 – 0.5 m deep;
We fill the pit with a cushion of sand and crushed stone, carefully tamping each layer;
We lay polyethylene for waterproofing.
concrete mixture is poured into the pit;
