The budget version of the garden house can be built from timber or using Finnish frame-panel technology. These are buildings of the same type, only during the construction of a timber house it is sheathed with timber (profiled or simple), and the frame house is sheathed with chipboard, plywood or fiberboard.
Garden houses using Finnish technology are good solutions for a summer cottage. A light foundation does not require a massive foundation, the frame is quickly sheathed with finishing material.
Frame plywood garden house
It takes less time to build such a house than a timber one, because large sheets of plywood, which are used for cladding, fasten to the frame much faster than the bars. Such a house can be built even in a week, and it will look presentable, especially if wood paneling is used for lining.

Stages of construction:
- Installation of foundation supports.
- Construction of the frame: work on the upper and lower casing, the construction of vertical supports and rafters. For the installation of doors and windows, contours are formed using additional bars.
- To create a draft version of the floor, thick boards are used - with a thickness of 20 cm or more.
- The outer skin of the frame is plywood; self-tapping screws are used for fastening. Drywall, plywood, fiberboard or chipboard are used for the inner lining. Nights in the spring and even in the summer are sometimes quite cool, so it is advisable to insulate the house. For this, a layer of mineral-cotton insulation can be laid between the skin layers.
- Installation of a clean floor - floorboard or linoleum.
- Trim plywood. The plywood is then coated with a layer of drying oil and roofing felt.
For your house to be beautiful, it requires an outer lining of solid material. For example, siding or wooden lining. The windows in the country house can be installed both plastic and wooden, this is a matter of taste. But plastic is easier to clean, and such windows will last longer.
You can build a garden house with your own hands from a beam. This is the most commonly used material for country houses. The beam looks aesthetically pleasing, and the construction of this material can last a long time. In construction, you can use a simple and profiled beam. In the latter case, the assembly of the house resembles a designer, because the connection of elements occurs due to the groove-ridge system. Today, a lot of companies offer country houses from profiled timber, all the elements of such a house are already ready, they only need to be assembled.

Construction of a garden house made of timber
First of all, as usual, we make the foundation. It can be either columnar or tape. The column foundation is suitable if the size of the house is small. Concrete slabs can also be used for the foundation, they are laid on a well-compacted layer of sand, buried in the ground by about 15 centimeters. After the foundation is erected, a waterproofing layer should be laid on it, roofing material is suitable.
After the foundation is done, the frame is installed. The crown and logs (lower harness made of timber) are laid on the foundation supports, then vertical supports made of the same material are installed.
The frame of a garden house made of timber is erected in a short time, while the construction is quite solid and durable.
If you like a garden house with a veranda, the lower logs are extended to its expected length, mounted on additional supports. Thick boards are used to create the floor, as in the above version.

After installing the floor, we collect the walls from the timber. Nails are used for fastening the joints, after a layer of sealant a new crown is laid out on the finished row. A sealant is needed for each layer, you can use jute or tow.
Then we equip the roof. Installation of braces and rafters from timber. The next stage is lining with timber and laying a layer of roofing material. After that - the final work on the floor. The wooden floor is covered with thermal insulation (mineral wool layer). As a hydro and vapor barrier, you can use glassine. As a flooring in a country house, thick linoleum or a floorboard is suitable.
