Rained water for watering the garden can be collected in the tank mounted underground, and on top in decorative purposes to build a rash cell. We tell how to do it.
Wash tap water to water the garden, car wash or terrace is reprehensible and relatively expensive. You can install underground tank to collect rainwater, equipping it with a pump, and on top to build a rash cell. To build such a decorative well in the country with your own hands, you will need at least elementary knowledge about working with a stone, namely on laying tiles and wall blocks. After all, some operations, such as the manufacture of concrete floor, must be implemented in all the rules so that the construction does not collapse. The pump is strengthened on metal corners and attach to the crane installed outside. A small counter will show how much fluid is saved. Decorative flower bed is suitable on top. The perimeter is facing "under the brick" or made from wood. The roof is pretty simply - with the help of screws and tie bolts. Roofing is better to choose the same as for the roof of the house.

Installing water collection tank
Excavation
Before making a decorative well in the country, it is necessary to make marking.Digging is quite large pit better entrust the team of professional builders with an excavator. The land is dumping next to the pit. Its perimeter is made according to the size of the capacity, while on each side should be added 25 cm to then it was easier to seal the soil around the tank.
A 20-centimeter layer of sand is poured onto the pits, which reduces the humidity of the soil and the reduction of its mobility.
Equipment reservoir
It is best to use a tank of 3,000 l from under liquid fuel, carefully clean it and degreased, observing safety regulations. The top cover of the hatch should be removed and on the side of the upper part to make a hole with a diameter of 100 mm for overflow pipe.
The container is put on the bottom of the pits and strengthen the sand-tested on both sides, which is tamped by the board. The distance from the metal vertex to the ground level should be about 30 cm.
You can buy a special plastic reservoir for rainwater, equipped with hatches, inlet and outlet holes. Such products may have different sizes and shapes.
Rainwater from the drainage system will flush into the tank. In one of its side sides, a hole is made to which the PVC overflow tube is supplied. Tightness provides silicone sealant, applied to the surface on both sides of the wall. The overflow canal is installed with a small slope (about 3 cm / m) and is discharged into the sewer system.
We make reinforced concrete decorative well
The proposed construction makes sense to do only in dry soil or the soil of moderate humidity. If the soil is excessively wet, there is a risk that the tank will "swim" and climb as emptying. In this case, the container will have to smoke - to tie a heavy load to it.Fill the base
After the container is finally installed, formwork is made above the hatch and the reinforced concrete slabs are cast in it (the minimum side of the side of 1 m and the minimum thickness is 8 cm). It is reinforced by a welded grid, and four more metallic rods with a diameter of 10 mm are placed around the perimeter. In the center of the plate there should be a hole in the size of the hatch so that you can penetrate the tank for its cleaning.
The top of the reinforced concrete plate must be at a depth of 20 cm below the ground level.
After complete drying of concrete around the perimeter, a number of 20-centimeter hollow wall blocks are laid out (on the solution).
We put the walls
After drying, a few days later, three walls of the well are laying out of 10-centimeter blocks laid in four rows.They establish a reinforced concrete slab 1000x1000 mm with a thickness of 60 mm (manufactured in advance). You can also post another row of blocks - forming a curl curl, which is easy to arrange on the top plate.
Hide the door
It is fastened on hinge hinges. It opens access to the inside of the well. You can cook it from metal corners and fine grid, but wooden sash will look good.
Mount the roof
It is better to make it from the lungs, but durable materials, for example, from a natural array. The assembly of spruce or oak is quite simple - this is a word inwards or a compound in a groove bonded by tie bolts.
The roof is laying out the same tile as the roof of the house.
Install the pump
You should not choose equipment with an unnecessary productivity, which empty the tank is less than an hour. It is best to apply an adjustable device with a maximum bandwidth of 3,000 l / h. It is connected to a waterproof electrical outlet, grounded using an automatic protection with a shock current of 30 mA.From the pump in the tank, the suction tube of the required diameter with a mesh filter at the end is lowered. It is introduced with such a calculation so that the filter does not reach the bottom of about 10 cm. If the tube is lowering below, the dirt may be suused into it that hurts equipment.
At the outlet, the pump is connected to the crane, reinforced on the wall of the well. A water meter can be installed on the output tube.
Record
The upper and lower parts of the above-ground construction are separated by stone tiles and facing bricks. The outer surface is covered with smooth plaster or so-called plaster spray. The tree is treated with insecticidal and antifungal composition and coated with two layers of varnish for external work.
Make a decorative well on the cottage from the tree
The base is in conditions of high humidity, so it is not necessary to do it from the array. Only reinforced concrete is suitable for its creation. Walls on the surface can be built from logs cleaned from bark, lining or timber.
Boards is the easiest solution. With work you can cope in three hours. High strength in this case is not needed, but the construction should seem solid to emphasize your style.
First collect the crowns - squares from boards forming walls. They are fastened with nails or self-drawing, then put a stack. To add flavor, the trim is performed from block house with semicircular front sides. It imitates the logs well. The two opposite sides of the center nourish the boards that serve as the base for the roof. Their top is cut by forming the base of the two-tie roof. Corners are strengthened by vertical bars. The rafters are assembled from bars with a cross section of 5x5 cm. Both of them are strengthened with horizontal ribs of rigidity forming a triangle with them. The flooring makes from plywood or slats with a thread. The top crown nourishes the boards, laid by plastics. They form sides. Between the verticals, you can install a metal rod with a drum, wrapped with a chain, and to attach a handle from it.
The finished structure is grinding with a grinder and impregnate with antiseptics. Then the surface is covered with a layer of varnish. There are colorless and translucent formulations.
What other materials can be used
Building a decorative well with their own hands or dealing with ideas for giving at the planning stage, it is easy to find that not only building materials are suitable for its creation. For example, the bottom can be made of wide automotive tires.
It is not necessary to build it at all, if there is an excess reinforced concrete ring. The surface can be painted or separated by tiles.
Perfectly there will be plastic and metal siding, the polymer trim of the base, imitating masonry from the coarse raw stone.
The highest durability has brickwork and reinforced concrete belt. Bricks are laid in length, making a ligation on half. The masonry solution is prepared from cement and sand taken in a ratio of 1: 3. Brand cement - M300 or M400. The formwork is styled in the middle of which horizontal reinforcement rods are installed in the middle of 30 cm. The formwork width is 15-20 cm.
Masonry make from slag blocks or natural stone. Walls can be deceived with a solution, removing all the angles. While the mixture was not frozen, chips of ceramics and glass are pressed into it.
