How to build the aboveground part of the well ^Favorite

For its construction, you can use the same concrete rings as for the mine. But since it will not look very beautiful, it is better to cover the concrete with a wooden beam. Then the head will look like a wooden log house.

The next stage is the construction of the roof of the well. For her, racks are first made. They will not have to withstand heavy loads, so a beam with a cross section of about 10 x 10 centimeters is enough. But here the roof should be given enough attention. After all, it will be it that will protect the well from various debris and from rainfall. Therefore, the roof should have sufficiently large overhangs. For it, it is recommended to use edged boards with a thickness of 2.5 cm in two layers. They need to be laid so that the second layer overlaps the cracks of the first, not allowing rain water to flow through them. It should be borne in mind that ordinary lining will not work: this option will be short-lived. The material will deform under the influence of various weather conditions, cracks will appear through which rain and dust will penetrate. Instead of covering from a tree, it is better to give preference to a metal tile. Chinglas coating will also be reliable, beautiful and durable.

It is desirable to equip the well itself with a lid, and sufficiently strong, with a lock. By covering the mouth of the well with such protection, you can be sure that neither dust nor debris gets into it, and that children walking nearby will be safe. Like randomly wandered pets.

You should take care of the possibility of raising buckets of water from the well. This can be done using a traditional gate made of logs or beams. The log should have a diameter of not less than 20 centimeters, if this is not, then you can use a bar with a cross section of 200x200 millimeters. If a beam is used, then a round object of diameters of 20 centimeters is applied to both ends of it, a plate, for example, is encircled with a pencil. Extra corners are cut with a plane. In the center of each end face, holes are drilled into which then the handle and axes will be inserted. Make holes about 20 centimeters deep.

To ensure the strength and durability of the well structure, care must be taken that the gate does not move. This function will be performed by washers, two of which are placed on the side of the handle, and another one on the opposite side.
Beautifully and correctly made head, this is the business card of your well.
