Hello,
I'm thinking about a pool house. I've sketched back and forth and come up with a design that might work for us.
The idea of the pool house is really to be a "summer room" where you can set up and have a good time. It will be completely uninsulated except for the pool pump room.
Some construction-related issues have come up while sketching that I need advice on, and some things I just can't figure out.
1.
How do I mount the pillars to the concrete while ensuring they are stable (load-bearing construction) and somewhat moisture-resistant? The pillars are glued laminated timber 120x120x2500 mm. I want to see as little as possible of the "fastening."
2.
Between certain pillars, I will build walls with Lecablocks (90 mm thick). What should be considered with Lecablocks against glued laminated timber? How is moisture secured?
3.
In certain areas, I will have horizontal cladding on the outside. I could plaster the Lecablocks, but since nothing else on the house is plastered, it might look strange.
Question: How do I make the transition from cladding to glued laminated timber look good? The glued laminated beam is 120 mm. The Lecablock is 90 mm, then battens 30 mm and cladding 21 mm, which means the cladding sticks out 21 mm as in the picture. Can a tinsmith fix something, or are there special moldings? It also has to be somewhat water-resistant.
Many questions. If I get help with any, I'll be happy
