Do-it-yourself kibitka made of wood. Assembling the platform and stairs

  • 12.06.2019

Communication with nature has always been beneficial for children. IN Soviet times schoolchildren often disappeared into the forest, building huts and dugouts, which were bases for playing "war", places to have a good time with friends. Although the era of forest tourism has already passed, giving way to computer tourism, many still prefer to get out into nature and build such familiar and interesting structures as huts.

A hut is an artificial shelter, quickly built in field conditions from improvised materials (branches, boards, poles, turf). Such buildings have long been used by hunters, mushroom pickers, huntsmen and tourists to protect from the weather, stay away from the benefits of civilization for many days. Besides, such shelters have long been a favorite place for children to play- they not only build them with great pleasure, but also spend a lot of time in them, arranging impromptu headquarters of their forest detachments, warehouses of all kinds of provisions and just secluded shelters.

To a modern child swallowed by the world computer games And social networks, such entertainment helps not only to improve your well-being, but also to acquire useful skills in the construction of such structures with your own hands, becoming closer to nature.

Hut - an artificial shelter, quickly built in field conditions from improvised materials

The main types of street huts and the stages of their manufacture

Huts according to their design are divided into:

  1. Shed- the simplest, consisting of a peak leaning on trees or dug into the ground
  2. gable- outwardly resemble a tent, consist of a skeleton lined with branches, moss and spruce branches.
  3. Circular- tall buildings erected in the form of a tent (cone), outwardly resembling Indian wigwams. They are built around a tree or a long stake driven into the ground.

Huts with a deepening below ground level are the famous dugouts, the residential part of which is located in a well-insulated and sheltered pit.

Each of these huts consists of:

  • Skeleton - a frame of a building assembled from poles;
  • Lining material - branches, spruce branches, straw, moss;
  • Fasteners - nylon threads, adhesive tape. In field conditions, in the absence of often improvised fastening materials are used - freshly cut strips of bark, dug out long roots, plaits from grass.

The construction of the hut consists of assembling the skeleton and carefully covering it with lining material, arranging a fire pit.

How to build a simple shed hut (chalabuda) from branches in the forest

Such a hut is the simplest and built within a few hours.

  • For a hut, a high and dry place is chosen with two thick trees standing at a distance of 1.5-2 meters with strong knots in the lower part of the trunks.
  • A strong pole 2-2.5 meters long is cut down, which is laid on the knots of trees, so that its height from the ground is up to 1.5 meters.
  • To the resulting crossbar, with the help of strips of bark, stingray poles resting against the ground are tied.
  • The resulting frame is first covered with thin branches with foliage, and then with spruce branches.
  • At the ends of the hut, stakes are driven in and branches and spruce legs are tightly laid.
  • In order not to sit on the cold ground, the floor of the hut is covered with spruce paws, branches or simple grass. The layer of such insulation should be at least 30 cm.
  • In order to not be cold inside such a canopy, a bonfire is made in front of the entrance, behind which a reflector is installed - a low wattle fence of stakes driven into the ground and branches intertwined between them, thanks to which heat enters the building.

Do-it-yourself construction of a gable hut on the street

A gable hut is built in the forest with the maximum use of improvised material without the use of nails, self-tapping screws and other metal fasteners.

The construction of a gable hut is carried out according to a simple scheme:

  • First, on a high, not swampy and dry place, a platform is selected from which windbreaks, debris, and stones are removed. You should not build a hut near anthills, holes of wild animals. It is better to build a hut under the crowns big trees- If it rains, they will provide additional protection from moisture.
  • For the skeleton, two straight sticks with branches in the upper part are cut down. The lower ends of the spears are sharpened and driven in along one line at a distance equal to the length of the future building
  • A long pole is laid on the horns, tying it to them with threads, adhesive tape, or, in their absence, with strips of fresh bark removed from cut sticks
  • Further, on both sides of each of the horns, poles of thick branches resting at an angle into the ground are tied, fixing them at the base with pegs driven into the ground, and at the top with bark, threads, and adhesive tape. The same poles are laid parallel to the end poles in increments of 40-50 cm.
  • Parallel to the ridge of the resulting frame, longitudinal poles are laid on the surface of both slopes, tying them at the intersection with the inclined ones. If there are thick trees nearby, then with the help of a strong twine the hut is tied to them - this makes the building more stable.
  • The resulting skeleton, resembling gable roof on both sides of the ridge, as well as at the ends, while leaving a place for entry, they are lined with branches.
  • At the last stage, fir paws are laid on each of the slopes of the building, starting from the ground.
  • With dense laying of spruce branches, the roof of such a shelter, even in heavy rain or snow, will not leak, and inside it will be dry and comfortable.
  • Very often, a thick layer is laid on top of the branches on the slopes. polyethylene film tarpaulin.
  • If there is a field nearby with dry straw remaining after the harvest, then it can be used to cover the roof along with spruce legs - the main thing in this case is to remember that making fires in such a hut is very careful so that an accidental spark does not set dry stems on fire.
  • In order for the hut not to flood during heavy rains along its perimeter they make a small ditch with a groove extending to the side

Construction of a winter hut in the ground

In addition to ground, you can also build below ground level a hut in which you can stay not only in the warm season, but even in winter:

  • For construction, they choose a dry place away from the trunks of large trees - it is best to build such a shelter on hills and hills with loose sandy soil.
  • A pit for a dugout in which 3-4 people will be located at the same time is made 3 × 4-5 meters in size and up to 1.5-2 meters deep. When excavating the soil, the removed sod and fertile land I discard not far from the pit, since in the future they will be useful for backfilling the roof of the dugout. On one side of the pit, an additional trench is made for the entrance.
  • Stakes are driven in along the walls of the pit, while retreating making the distance between them and the soil layer equal to the thickness of the boards or logs used to equip the walls.
  • Boards or logs are placed between the driven stakes, thereby forming the walls of the building.
  • The floor of the dugout is first insulated with dry foliage, sawdust and covered with poles or boards.
  • To build a roof along the central axis of the dugout rectangle, 3 thick supporting pillars are dug in, two of which are located near the walls, and one in the center of the dugout.
  • In the upper part, the pillars are fastened with a longitudinal pole, on which thin logs are tightly laid on both sides with an inclination to the ground.
  • The finished roof is covered with earth and covered with sod.
  • The ends of the roof protruding above the ground are sewn up with a board.
  • The entrance to the dugout is a trench adjacent to the pit - for this, steps are dug at its beginning or a ladder is installed. The entrance is covered with a wooden shield.
  • In order for the wood of the dugout structures not to rot due to high humidity, it is treated with special solutions.

How to make a circular Indian hut (wigwam) for children

The wigwam is a circular hut. You can build it both in nature and in the backyard of a private house and even in an apartment.

In order to manufacture children's wigwam necessary:

  • 4-6 round-section wooden sticks with a diameter of 2-2.5 cm are tied with coarse thread or electrical tape in such a way that a cone or pyramid is obtained. If a wigwam is made on the street, the sticks of the skeleton are hammered into the ground, after having sharpened their ends.
  • For a hut, a cover with ties is made of dense matter, with the help of which it is tied to the skeleton. The cover should cover most of the hut, leaving room for entry in its front.
  • The entrance is made by sewing two curtains to the cover.
  • To give the wigwam an attractive look, strips, circles, and other shapes cut from pieces of colored material (paper, cardboard) are glued to the fabric of the cover.
  • A thick blanket is placed at the bottom of the hut.

The wigwam is a circular hut

Making a children's hut at home

Since many do not have a permanent opportunity to get out into nature, very often huts are made at home:

  • For the ridge of the core, 4 dry bars 2-2.5 cm thick and a stick of the same diameter are used.
  • To assemble the end walls, the bars are folded in the shape of a triangle and at a distance of 3-4 cm from the ends, a hole equal to the diameter of the ridge is made with a drill.
  • A round stick is passed through the hole in the crosshairs of the bars.
  • The resulting frame is sheathed on three sides with matter, cardboard.
  • To make the hut stable, the elements of the back wall in the lower part are fastened with another bar.
  • At the entrance they make a retractable curtain.

The resulting hut fits perfectly not only in the open space, but also inside the children's room.

There are things in the world that literally every child dreams of. It's not only game console or a bicycle, the child also wants to have a place where he can feel like a master. Therefore, many kids are always looking for a headquarters or a play base. So why not make it easy for them? Try to build a tree house for your child, and the joy of the baby will know no bounds.

Of course, the construction of such a house will require considerable effort, but they will not be wasted. It is only necessary to show diligence, carefully think over and prepare everything so that the design of the house is safe and reliable for the child.

DIY tree house for children

The project described below for the construction of a children's treehouse was designed with safety, maximum safety of trees and reliability of structures in mind. This design is completely autonomous, so it can be installed absolutely anywhere, even where there are no trees. The house is based on a universal triangular structure, in principle, there is no need to dig support posts deep into the ground - if there is a stony flat area, the house will hold well on it. Of course, the resulting construction will turn out to be not small, it is simply impossible to build it in one day, but it will be interesting for children, especially if they are involved in the work.

Blanks according to the drawing

It is necessary to start work with the manufacture of a triangular frame.

Assembling the platform and stairs

Assembling the house

After that, you can proceed directly to the assembly of the house:

Handrail installation

The final step will be the installation of the railing.

  • Railings must be screwed to the handrails and rounded off any sharp corners.
  • Nail or screw the balusters to the beam, as well as to the bottom of the handrails. In this case, the distance between them should be no more than 10 cm.
  • Finally, a safety chain with a latch must be installed.

It must be remembered that all children will test the strength of the house, so do not save on equipment and purchase low-quality materials.

We figured out how to make a tree house with our own hands. You can come up with the interior of the children's house on your own, discuss this issue with your child. Can be installed there bunk bed, put the table, benches, shelves and more.

Scheme of building a hut on the ground

For the construction of a hut or halabuda, you need to choose a suitable place. In no case should such a hut be installed in narrow gorges, on the banks of rivers, at the bottom of canyons. Regardless of whether the hut will be built in Russia or in another country, floods, sudden downpours or a leash can occur everywhere. The main options for the location of the hut:

  • Hut in the mountain forest. For this area, it is best to select an attached type structure for the construction. This means that one of the walls of the halabuda or two walls will be made of stone or wood - part of the rock. In this case, you should try to avoid precipitation. Therefore, huts are not recommended to be located in hollows with obvious traces of water flows. Otherwise, the rules for building a hut are the same as for a regular tent. The entrance to the hut should be located on the opposite side of the top. A ditch must be made around the perimeter so that water flows into it during rain.
  • Hut in the lowland forest. In a flat forest, you can build a recessed, classic or attached hut. The place is chosen based on the weather. In cold weather without rain, the hut is placed in a recessed place, which will be a temporary shelter for him. During rains, these structures must be located on an elevated place.

The structure of the hut according to its type:

  • Classical. A structure of this type is made in the form of a fireplace for cooking. During construction, two poles or branches are installed vertically. The third is laid on them in a horizontal position. Dressing is done with improvised means, stems, flexible branches, vines. But here there are several more installation options. For example, two poles or even branches that need to be cut with a knife, set to each other at an angle at the exit from the structure and the back wall of the hut at a distance of about 2 m. After that, the main pole is laid horizontally on it. If a wigwam is being built, then in this case the poles are laid in a circle at an angle to each other in the form of a fire, a living growing tree can be used as a support for them.
  • Attached. This can also include a wigwam, which will be created on the basis of poles resting on a rock in a mountainous area. At the same time, the walls are made, like that of the specified classic hut.
  • in-depth. This type of hut is similar to the classic one, but is located in a hollow, it is a cross between a hut and a dugout. In this case, only the top is covered.

In the forest, in the absence of the usual sleeping bags, folding beds, air mattresses and litter must be able to adapt to such conditions. There are two types of floor arrangement in a hut: with and without a hearth. As a rule, in the cool season, it is necessary to protect the walls of the hut and deadwood from the sparks of the hearth. Therefore, it is laid out in the center, limited to stones, earth is filled up between the stones, and a quarantine zone of about 20 cm is made around the hearth. Deadwood, represented by last year's leaves with branches, shoots, is laid on the ground. You can also use extra clothing, polyethylene or tarpaulin material for this.

Hut for children on a tree in stages

When building a treehouse, everything is also quite simple and understandable. If there are two side by side in the summer cottage standing tree, then a good structure can be built between them. This will require a minimum of time and building materials. Before making a tree hut, you need to stock up on the following tools and fixtures:

  • Bolts.
  • Plywood sheets: two of them are 10 mm thick, one is 20 mm thick.
  • Bars with dimensions of 50x150 mm and 50x100 mm.
  • Circular saw or hacksaw.
  • Galvanized nails.
  • Birch bark.
  • Ruberoid.

Two boards 50x150 mm are used as the basis of the hut. In this case, they must be attached to two thick trees. It's pretty simple. It is only necessary that the diameters of the tree trunks be about 20 cm. After that, the bottom with the side walls, as well as triangles for the brackets, must be cut out of the plywood sheet. This will require a little diligence and patience.

Further, it is necessary to assemble triangular sidewalls from pre-prepared and sawn half-wood bars. After that, they are bolted together. Then it is necessary to connect the assembled triangular sidewalls with a ridge beam. Its cross section should be 50x100 mm.

These sidewalls are connected to two bars that are below. Using brackets, attach the resulting frame to the supporting boards, the cross section of which is 50x150 mm. They must be pre-attached to the trees.

After that, the bottom is taken, which is cut out of plywood. Holes for nails are drilled in it. Then the bottom is nailed to the lower bars and joists with galvanized nails with large caps.

Next, you need to think about the construction of hatch windows and a roof. It is recommended to use a multi-layer roof for this. This will ensure the reliability of the hut. In the first layer, plywood with a thickness of approximately 10 mm is used. The second layer may consist of roofing material or glassine. For the third layer, birch bark is ideal.

After getting acquainted with the description of the manufacture of a house and a hut, everyone decides for himself how to build a structure for his child from improvised materials. The main thing in this case is to remember that the house for your child, first of all, must be safe.

All children love to play by building a shelter for themselves, a hut, or simply covering a few chairs with blankets. Some parents yell and scold the kids for the mess. Others, trying to properly organize the space and make children's games safer, prefer to build a hut together. So, from the usual routine work, the process turns into an exciting game in which children will take part with pleasure. How to make a good, high-quality and stable hut for games, and how to equip a gaming place, we will figure it out in the article.

How to choose the right place?

One of the main stages of work is choosing the right place where the hut will be located. Main criterion and at the same time safety.

In any case, after carefully looking around, each parent will find a place for such a simple building, which will certainly appeal to all the kids.

Hut options for middle-aged children

Conventionally, all huts are divided into three groups:

  • Buildings that are separate from other buildings
  • Buildings adjacent to other buildings
  • Huts-dugouts. These are structures that are installed in a recess.

When choosing a hut that you will build, you need to take into account the features of the area, the season, the possibility of precipitation, and many more factors. But, huts in the forest for survival, now only scouts are building, in other cases, the building is being done for children's games on suburban area or in a private house. The children spend most of their summer holidays there, because the best choice there will be either attached structures or separate ones.

Huts with a recess in the form of a dugout are more like to build teenagers who came to the village to visit their grandmother for the summer. Usually, such a secluded place is kept secret from everyone, and serves as a kind of hiding place. But, of course, every responsible adult should always know exactly where the child is and whether it is safe for him there. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to reveal the secret of the guys, otherwise they will lose all interest in such games.

Options for creating huts

But, this is all theory, and now let's consider in practice several options for huts that everyone can build.

Regular duplex hut

The basis for the construction of this type of hut are two horns and a pole. It is from their size that the size of the resulting building will depend. Follow this sequence of actions:

  • Measure the length of the pole, and it is at this distance that you drive the horns into the ground. You need to do this until they are one third in the ground. It is important that they are at the same height, otherwise the hut will be skewed. It depends on the stability of the basic elements how strong and durable your hut will be.
  • A pole is placed on the horn. If you see fit, you can strengthen it with a rope or wire.
  • Next, it’s tedious to find a few poles that will serve as a support for laying natural material. If there are none, you can take rods, or even thick branches, after clearing them of knots and leaves.

Their number depends on the size of the hut, and the frequency of the step. If you have a lot of material, you can put it right next to each other, thus getting dense walls that do not need to be supplemented with branches, spruce paws, reeds, or other natural materials.

But, most often, the side supports are installed about 25 cm apart. If you see fit, you can further strengthen the walls with transverse branches fixed on with a wire, or even ordinary twine.

  • The final stage of work is the laying of spruce branches, or any other material, the main purpose of which is to strengthen the walls and make them solid, without holes and cracks. It is best to start work from the bottom, gradually moving towards the top. In this way, upper layer will cover the bottom, and in case of rain, moisture will not get inside.

Shed hut

This type of device is very common, since it takes very little time and materials to build it. To build it, follow the algorithm:

  • Make a base from a pole and two horns as in the previous version.
  • Place supports on one side only.
  • Cover the side supports with the material you have chosen for the wall decoration.

In some cases, instead of walls, parents pull a tarp, or any other water-repellent fabric. From above it is attached to the frame with ropes, and from below it is fixed with a log or bricks. So moisture will not be able to penetrate into the middle of the shelter.

This type of hut can be used as a separate building, or made adjacent to a house or other building.

wigwam

This kind of hut has become actively used in our country relatively recently. In appearance, the structure is really very reminiscent of an Indian wigwam, and it is built very simply:

  • Choose a comfortable and spacious place, and draw an even circle. Its size should be enough so that children can play freely there, so that nothing bothers them.
  • Dig several poles or thick sticks into the ground (their number directly depends on the size of the hut).
  • From above, collect all the poles in a kind of “bundle”, and fasten with wire, rope, or ordinary tape.

The frame is ready. Now we need to make the walls. To do this, you can use any of the two options:

  • Plant climbing plants around the perimeter. Of course, it will take some time for it to braid all the walls, but on the other hand, the beauty of the resulting shelter for children's games can hardly be overestimated. Beans, wild grapes, or flowers are great for these purposes.
  • A faster option is to use a thick fabric. In this case, you will be able to complete the work on the same day. A wigwam looks very nice wrapped in a colorful and bright fabric, but you can use any that you have available at home.

Fasten the fabric at the top, and press down with bricks or logs from below, and the tent for the children is ready.

Wigwam from sunflowers

This is one of the simplest, and aesthetically beautiful solutions. But, it will take some time to create it until the plants grow.

The essence of the work is to in early spring draw a circle for the wigwam in the chosen place, and plant tall sunflowers along its edge. It is better that they grow not in one row, but in several, so the “walls” of the hut will be stronger, well, they will shine through.

When the sunflowers grow and throw out the color, you need to carefully tie their heads on top with a rope. Do this carefully so as not to damage the plant.

Attached hut

This is the most simple design, because the base is not necessary. It is used as a wall of a house, a fence, or just a tree. Branches or poles that act as lateral fasteners rest on the base, and then covered with branches, other natural material, or dense fabric. Of course, the advantages of this hut are ease of manufacture, and a minimum of materials and time spent.

Among the options described above, everyone will find what he likes.

Prefabricated huts for small children

For young children, you can make a play hut in just a few minutes if you prepare in advance for this process. For this you will need:

  • A piece of dense fabric measuring 2x4 meters. It is great if it is colorful and bright, so it will be even more interesting for children to play.
  • Two supports that will be placed opposite each other at a distance of two meters. You can dig them into the ground in advance about a third of the length so that they are stable.
  • Strong rope, at least 2.5 meters long
  • Pegs or hooks to stretch the fabric.
  • Stretch the rope between the two bases. It should be in maximum tension, not sag.
  • Throw the fabric over the rope. At the same time, there should be the same canvas on both sides. It is important to align the edges so that the hut is even.
  • Secure the edges to the ground with stakes. In order to make it more convenient, you can make small cuts in the fabric and insert rings. Thus, it will be possible to use the cut more than once.

In our article, you will learn how to decorate a site using the creation.

And then it's up to you own fantasy. You can decorate a hut, lay a bedspread or an old blanket on the ground, decorate the walls, put your favorite toys or books there. You can even conduct developmental classes in such a hut, and the child will study with pleasure.

As you can see, everyone can make a hut for a child, it's not at all difficult. But, you need to have enough patience and desire, to allocate several hours of time for assembly. Choose the best option, and proceed boldly to work.

In return, you will receive a lot of joy and gratitude from the kids, who now have their own corner where they can play, secret, and do whatever they want.

In contact with

In this report, I will not only talk about how to make a hut, but I will also post other material - about one of my stays in the taiga forest. We once went with a comrade in early November 2012 to the Ural taiga forests. The purpose of the trip was not tourism, but precisely the next honing of survival skills in the wild nature of the taiga, the construction of a hut using only natural materials. A lot was planned, but they did not have time - November, it gets dark early in the northern hemisphere, as well as in the Equator region.

We arrived at the place around 12-13 o'clock. Surprisingly, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, it was nice to just drop the backpack and lie in the sun. It was just that the weather was cloudy all the days, and here, especially for our visit, the weather decided to play along with us a little. Let the guys rejoice, otherwise they still have a cold night.

And we were in the area of ​​​​the Levinsky stone, which is on the Chusovaya River. Not so far from this place, I did last year's report on my next trip to the forest. This year I decided to go and bring a friend with me to these places I had previously looked out for. Traveling alone is, of course, a peculiar experience, but together it is still more fun. Moreover, we planned to build two huts, each for ourselves, but there was not enough time.

This is your humble servant, but you will not see my partner, because he considers himself not photogenic). This is a regular reader of the Free-Will project! We cooperated, got acquainted - and rushed into the taiga forest.

So, we came to the place, which we chose for another 30-40 minutes: either we were lying in the sun, or we were just wandering around, examining the forest. For safety net, in order not to get into trouble, we planned to take with us a tent, and polyethylene, and a rope, but in the end we took only a tent that was not needed. The task was not extreme, not thrills, but boring honing of survival skills in the taiga forest, in the wild.

We chose three trees that would serve as natural supports for our huts. But in the end, then we used only two of them. They harvested firewood, sawed crackers, chopped small Christmas trees and fir trees for huts (I remind you that they planned to build 2). Kamrad was engaged in firewood, but I collected material for huts. They lit a fire with the help of a tinderbox, so that it would be somehow more fun, and so that the place could be seen from afar, I didn’t want to look for it for a long time.

Everything is clear with the crossbars, but how to attach the vertical support to two spruce trees? There is no rope, therefore, spruce roots must be used - the only rope made by nature itself. By the way, the following photos will be all dark, I shot, as usual, on the phone, and, in addition, the place is deaf, there is little light under the spruce crowns.

At first, the roots were torn, but then he got used to it and began to collect more or less long ones. First, you remove a small piece of the upper soil with your foot, you find the root. Then you walk along it, remove the soil and gently pull it up. But do not pull it right away - it will break. Spruce roots are strong enough to be used in such construction. Good natural material. The vertical cross member (made of mountain ash) sat quite firmly, of course, we did not try to break, but it withstood a certain load. I believe that with a heavy load, the crossbar itself in the middle will break rather than the roots will break.

Then he began to prepare logs for the bed and roof. He trimmed the brought trees. Drugan, meanwhile, continued to harvest firewood. The night is long - you need a lot of firewood! Sawing crackers with an Izhstal saw. At the same time, we tested a domestic manufacturer in the field.

Started making the bed. Kamrad sawed off 2 logs with his saw, then it seemed a little, - he sawed off 2 more pieces. We put them under the bottom across - they will hold bed, longitudinal, logs. In order not to roll down, we hammered in pegs.

Then he made the bed with fallen spruce branches. I put some spruce branches, more fir branches. They are soft and pleasant to touch. And what a smell! Edryona stump!!!

In the meantime, the partner put a camp gruel on the fire to cook. Barley, rice, my dried carrots, salt, spices. There was still a can of stew, however, pork, but still not bad. Yoshkarolinsky - I recommend.

It was already approaching evening, so the two of them undertook to prepare logs (lay down) for the roof of the hut. It is important to choose the right angle of inclination - it should not be too blunt, it is better to be sharper, then the water will drain from the roof of the hut without stopping and not getting inside. It's not too spicy, we could have made it spicier.

They made 12 pieces of slegs, there is no time, otherwise it’s better to do twice as many somewhere, or even 2.5 times more, in order to better close the roof of the hut. We started laying the stucco. It fits very easily. Despite the fact that the roof is sloping, the spruce branches are perfectly kept on it. First, the top, then lower and lower (in fact, the spruce branches must be laid from the bottom up). The spruce branches must be laid in one direction - with the needles down, the end of the branch up. You push each next branch, and, as it were, it clings to each other and holds on well. It's hard to explain, to say the least. You need to lay a lot, do not skimp on spruce branches, not enough - chop off the lower tiers of living trees, preferably fir. The bottom of the hut was lined with earth with moss so that it would not blow at night. Too bad there weren't many photos. It was already dark, so the pictures turned out bad, and there was no time to take a picture - I would rather have time. When the hut is already made, you can also taste the camp soup!

Before we could blink, dusk fell. They kindled a bigger fire - a lazy node, this is when the trees are not sawn, but simply thrust in whole. When one part burns, push them further.

Since we did not go there to sleep, not to the resort, but to do business, it was supposed to sleep in turn. One sleeps - the other watches the fire. Both sat, talked heart to heart and somewhere in the second hour they decided: to hell with him, let's sleep! I, as a gentleman, offered my partner a trump spot in a hut, but he preferred to lie on the other side of the fire, just on the foam with a sleeping bag. Well, no, and there is no trial, which means I will try out the hut, because there was only room for one. He spread foam, took out a sleeping bag, put on some warm clothes even under the bottom of the jacket and went to bed. At the time when the fire was active, it was quite comfortable, but when the fire died out, my partner and I woke up (in turn) and moved our logs closer. Approximately every 40-60 minutes I had to wake up, in the morning they already spat on him and slept like that until 11 o'clock. The falling snow woke me up, it got a little on me - with front side hut. The hut was made, in principle, satisfactorily, the minus is that the distance between the trees is small and in full height you can’t climb up there, so your legs stick out to the side. At best, it was possible to climb deep into the hut, and the snow would not be terrible.

We got up lazily and lit a new fire. There were some coals left, they were simply inflated. Put the kettle on gas burner, in it fir legs. They didn’t even get ordinary tea, although there was one, they were content with only a fir drink. We ate and went to rummage a bit along the Chusovaya shore, and then back. Very little snow fell there, so, a couple of snowflakes, one might say. There was already heavy rainfall the next day.

Children in the country need to have a place for games and entertainment. An excellent option can be a hut that you make with your own hands. You don’t need to spend a lot of time and money to do this, just show your imagination. An unusual hut is obtained from materials that are always at hand. We offer you to get acquainted with some options for the design of a children's hut.

Fabric hut

To make a fabric hut, you need to prepare:
a large and dense piece of fabric measuring 2 by 4 meters;
2 support posts (trees), which should be spaced 2 meters apart;
2.5 meter rope;
a set of hooks for fixing the hut to the ground.

Initially, we pull the rope necessarily in a horizontal position between 2 racks and thoroughly fix it. Then we hang a piece of fabric symmetrically over the rope. The next step is fixing the hut to the floor. It is necessary to sew metal eyelets on the edges of the fabric in advance or make loops that are also sewn along the edge. After that, hooks are threaded through the loops and fixed in the ground.

Hut from plant branches

This option for creating a hut is a little difficult to arrange, but nothing is impossible.

Prepare in advance:
PVC pipes or branches of the required length;
climbing vegetation or sow seeds;


strong rope.

It is worth noting that such a hut can be used only after a few months. It is recommended to proceed with the construction of the structure after winter period with the beginning of spring. First, install pipes or tree branches in the shape of a triangle. Then fasten them together at the top with a rope.

After assembling the hut, you can start sowing seeds. In the circle of the structure, it is necessary to plant plants that curl beautifully. They will grow, and then you must direct them up the racks of the hut. At the height of summer, the children's hut will be ready for sure.

Hut made of PVC pipes and fabric

This option provides for the construction of their structure pvc pipes which must be covered with a strong fabric on top. The construction method is identical to the second plan described above. Racks of pipes are exposed and tightly pulled together from above with a rope. Then they need to be fixed in the ground. The hut for children is covered with a cloth, and it is ready for use.

Hoop and fabric hut

This method is the most original. To work you need to have:

Aluminum hoop or metal pipe, twisted into a ring;
strong rope and fabric.

To build such a hut is not difficult. Cover the hoop with fabric, sew the ends. The remaining fabric must be sewn around the entire hoop and attached to the center of the rope. Then the structure is fixed on a tree or in another place suitable for children's games.

Using a ladder

In this case, a simple stepladder will serve as a hut. You just need to put the stepladder in a convenient place for games and hang a fabric on it. This version of the structure is characterized by mobility, since the stepladder can be transferred both to the yard and to the house.

Newspaper and fabric hut

This is an unusual construction of newspaper tubes that are covered with fabric. But remember that in inclement weather such a hut must be removed so that it does not get wet and deteriorate. To build a structure, prepare:

Textile;
newspapers;
large-width tape and a stapler.

First, roll the newspapers into tubes, secure their edges with a stapler. Then make a construction in the form of a triangle and also fix it. Put a cloth over the hut.
