Nagel beech for timber houses, houses from glued beams

Manufactured dowel beech
For the construction of homes of timber use special guide elements of wood or metal pins. Nagel is a small fastener, which can be either round or square section. Used in the construction of log homes or bath for a material of natural humidity. As the log dries and shrinks for 12 months or more, with the pins it does not deform and it will not lead. Description
Despite the fact that the mounting options are different, the pins often choose wood. For this purpose, forest hardwood, often beech. Sometimes used in the construction of rebar or pipe, but the fact that the metal is too hard material and it does not give the natural shrinkage, which can give a peg of wood. It gives more flexibility for the walls. In addition, the tree is not exposed to rust, and even when wet does not deteriorate, but rather provides a better grip with the neighboring material. In any case, you cannot use screws or nails. They will only aggravate the entire structure
Nagel performed a little shorter holes drilled in the bars and the smaller diameter to the shrinkage occurred smoother. This design captures two beams and is installed at the perimeter in a staggered manner. What they need
The mount allows you to attach the crowns between themselves accurately along a predetermined path. Some people think that the tightening pins between the frame of the house, but it's not. They allow for drying and shrinkage of timber to keep it in its original state the building did not change. This method of installation is used not only in the construction of houses, but in particular in the manufacture of furniture. What negative effects allows you to fight Nagel: Shrinkage and deformation. Loosening and displacement. When installing the mounting structure is stable and sustainable even in a few decades. Most importantly, to do it right. The types and sizes of pins
Nagel come in round, square and rectangular. Of course, what is most in demand round shape, because square is very difficult to drill the hole. Kinds: of wood. Metal. Metal – hard, but expensive
If the preferred metal, it can be as hollow inside as well as out of rebar, but to work with such material beginner hard, you can damage an expensive timber. Therefore, increasingly prefer mounting from the tree. In addition, there are special spring-loaded node "Power", which is also used as a dowel. However, the cost is large enough and the house can cost a decent amount. (On average, 20500, 00 thousand/UAH for the house size 6x6) Why did tree

The finished material should not be made from raw wood and is better if it is impregnated from rotting. Otherwise it will have to dry. To work with the raw material can not, it needs to be firmer and drier than the lumber. How to use a dowel in the construction of houses of timber

Nagel must be the goal, not until the end that he was not allowed cracks in the timber. Holes in the upper crown under the binding needs to be slightly wider, it will not allow the beam to SAG. The pin should enter the hole freely, it is necessary for shrinkage of the wood. Holes are drilled perpendicular to the surface and located along the axis of the beam. Distance between mounting pins is calculated in accordance with the documentation for the construction. The advantages of attachment: a secure grip and structural integrity. The ability to resist shrinkage, natural phenomena. The long life of the house. Minimizing gaps between the timber. Dowel bar installation. How to install (drilling and fastening) calculate the number of fasteners is carried out by principle 2 meters between each successive mount. To secure the timber pins you need to Drill a hole diameter mounting depth of 1, 5 of size of the beam. Nagel must be shorter than the depth of 30 or 40 mm, hammer in the hole by 10 mm. Distance 30 mm in the lower of the two beams will be needed for possible shrinkage, to block not frozen. Scored in a checkerboard pattern, the distance from 1 t
