How to make a car out of wood with your own hands instructions

Any parent likes to please their child. However, not every family can afford to buy a toy once a week. The way out of the situation is crafts, and the most popular theme for them is cars.

How to make a children's car with your own hands? This will be discussed in this article.

Instructions for creating a simple wooden car

To make a wooden car with your own hands, you will need carpentry tools: a hacksaw, a hammer, a plane, as well as nails or screws. The material will be OSB boards and sheets.

Stages of work on building a truck with a sandbox body:

Before construction begins, raw boards are well planed and sanded. They are impregnated with drying oil to resist rotting.
Make at least a rough drawing of the future truck on paper indicating the main dimensions. Mark the contours of the body and cabin on the ground. To make it convenient for children to play, the part with the sandbox is made quite spacious, for example, 180 by 100 cm. The body can be of any size, but such that the kids can go there.
At the site of the body, remove the soil with a layer of 30 cm, cover the bottom with geotextile or tarpaulin so that the sand does not mix with the ground. Four posts 40 cm high are dug into the corners. Boards are screwed to the posts, forming a sandbox box that serves as a body.
They begin to build a cabin close to the sandbox. To do this, dig posts in the corners of the passenger and engine compartments, then screw planks or cut OSB sheets to them. The hood can be made liftable using regular door hinges. The space under the opening hood will serve not only for games, but also for storing toys.
A steering wheel is attached to the cabin, and on the sides of the car there are wheels made of tires or cut out of logs. The finished wooden car is painted.

Car with sandbox

Electric car

Any child will be delighted just by the thought of this miracle of technology. However, such a car is not cheap in the store. Therefore, the easiest way is to make it yourself. It's quite difficult. But probably.

The procedure is as follows:

Study the necessary information about the design of children's cars, look at the diagrams presented on the Internet. If possible, take several consultations with an experienced master.
Based on the information obtained, draw up drawings of a children's car with an electric drive and think over its design.
Make a list of the materials needed to make a car and go shopping with it. Something can be found in a garage or country shed, something can only be obtained through the World Wide Web.
Make a frame and screw the wheels onto it.
Cut out the bottom from plywood.
Weld the turning mechanism, install the steering column and steering wheel.
Attach the pulleys to the rear wheels, stretch the cables, hooking them to the engine.
Place the motor itself behind the seat and securely attach it using clamps and bolts.
A swing seat is suitable as a seat.
Install the battery. It's best behind the engine.
Carefully tie the wires together with clamps.
Paint the car, screw on the horn and mirror, and install bumper protection. You can start testing.

Project, drawing and diagram

Drawing a diagram for a structure is not a very complicated process. Initially, you should decide on the location of the canopy. Next, measure the free area (for this you will need a construction meter), write down the obtained data on a piece of paper.

To form a project you will need to pay attention to:

Firstly, it is worth deciding on the dimensions and number of cars that are planned to be placed under the shelter. Afterwards, decide which type of canopy is suitable for a particular case.
The height of the finished structure must be planned taking into account the additional load on the roof of the car or the height of the owner. Therefore, you need to add an additional 150 centimeters. However, too high a roof height can result in increased bending loads on the uprights due to constant exposure to wind. Also, drops of slanting rain may fall under a roof that is too high.
To provide greater structural strength for the machine, it is necessary to install additional transverse beams mounted between the supporting posts. The purpose of such beams is to strengthen the structure and increase resistance against wind or other mechanical influences.
Next, you need to decide on the width of the structure. To do this, you will need to measure the width of the car with the doors open on both sides; add at least 30 centimeters on both sides to the obtained figures.

After determining the size of the building, you can begin to prepare materials.

So, let's begin

You already know how to make a VAZ or a Mercedes, or perhaps some other car, out of wood, it doesn’t matter. Any construction begins with the creation of a frame. If you have excellent spatial imagination, cutting out the parts yourself will not pose any problems. However, if such talent is not on your list of advantages, turn to the services of professionals. Order or find the necessary drawings yourself, then take them to a furniture workshop. There shouldn't be any problems when creating the frame. Almost everyone has a good idea of what a car looks like. Be sure to make sure that the car is comfortable for its future owner. The legs should fit freely under the dashboard, and the steering wheel should not hit the knees. Think through all the small details, and then there will be no limit to your delight.

Since you already know very well how to make a car out of wood, it will not be news to you that the parts are well connected using self-tapping screws, and for greater strength they can also be coated with special glue.

How to make an anchor and steering wheel

Another marine-themed attribute is an anchor; it can also be made from thick cardboard and then painted or decorated with paper. For the anchor, you will also need a template or pattern, which you can draw yourself or print a ready-made one:

Print out the template and then transfer it onto the base material. Let's look at a few examples of how a composition might look:

Cutting out a car with a jigsaw

There are many rules for cutting, but you need to rely on the most common ones. First you should cut out the internal elements and then start cutting out the outline. There is no need to rush when cutting. The main thing is to always keep the jigsaw straight at a 90-degree angle when cutting. Saw out the parts along precisely marked lines. The movements of the jigsaw should always be smooth up and down. Also, do not forget to monitor your posture. Try to avoid bevels and unevenness. If you go off the line while cutting, don't worry. Such bevels and irregularities can later be removed using a flat file or “coarse-grained” sandpaper.

Rest

When sawing, we often get tired. Fingers and eyes, which are always tense, often get tired. When working, of course, everyone gets tired. In order to reduce the load, you need to do a couple of exercises. You can view the exercises here. Do the exercises several times during work.

Assembly diagram

Detailed assembly diagram: shema-2.jpg (4998 Downloads) shema-1-1.jpg (4508 Downloads) Assembling the craft parts in this work is not very difficult, my 6-year-old son assembled a model of a retro car, with my tips and a little help . Such activities develop fine motor skills, imagination, fantasy, and also train patience. After the parts are assembled into one common craft without any problems, then start gluing them. To make it more similar, you can add a few strokes in the form of lines using an electric burner. It can be very difficult to burn a pattern beautifully, but here there are not many lines and they are quite simple to make. First you need to draw lines with a pencil, then slowly go along these lines with an electric burner. You can read how to work with an electric burner and add patterns in a separate article.

Plywood car

In order to assemble such a retro car with your own hands, you will need the following tools and accessories:

Preparation of the workplace

As usual, the first thing you need to do is equip your workplace where you will work. The rules are not complicated: there should be no unnecessary things on the table, all tools should be in their place and at hand. Not everyone has their own desktop, and you’ve probably already thought about creating one. Making a table is not difficult; choosing a place for it in the house is more difficult. A good option is an insulated balcony, where you can start working on your craft at any time. If you have a specially equipped room with a workbench, then you are lucky. You can read about preparing the table in a separate article where I tried to describe in as much detail as possible the entire process of creating it. After you have completed the process of creating a workplace, you can proceed directly to your future crafts.

Transferring the design to plywood

You need to translate the drawing accurately and carefully: secure the drawing using buttons or simply hold it with your left hand. Check if the drawing fits the dimensions. Arrange the individual parts so that you can use the plywood sheet as economically as possible. There is no need to rush, because your future craft depends on the drawing. To speed up the translation process, you can use the technique of quickly translating a drawing; for this, I suggest you read the article: Applying a drawing to plywood in 60 seconds. You can download a file with a drawing of a plywood car at the end of the article.

Material selection

There are many ways to make a do-it-yourself overpass or mini overpass for car repairs.

Brick construction

A brick overpass is a stationary structure that is more often used in rural areas or outside the city. Construction is carried out using the bricklaying method using cement mortar. The width of the structure corresponds to the distance between the wheels of the car.

This method has a number of disadvantages:

It is necessary to allocate a plot of land for development. If the overpass subsequently needs to be removed, its dismantling will require considerable effort and time.
After some time, under the influence of overloads, the brickwork may collapse, which may require its dismantling.

Overpass made of sleepers

The structure is based on several railway sleepers. The sleepers laid one on top of the other in a “slide” style form two bases. Tracks are laid across to ensure access. To prevent the sleeper trestle from moving apart during operation, it is carefully secured with brackets.

This design also has certain disadvantages.

Sleepers are not so common in everyday life, and not every car owner has a few extra ones.
It is impossible to install and disassemble such an installation alone. The sleepers are too heavy.
Storage of railroad ties requires space.

The use of an overpass made of railway sleepers is justified in a summer cottage or garden plot, when the structure is left outdoors all year round. To protect against rotting, the product is impregnated with creosote.

Made of metal

Most often, the overpass is made of metal and wooden boards. Advantages of a metal overpass:

Mobility. If desired, the structure can be made collapsible and assembled only before starting repairs. This saves space.
Simplicity of design. You can assemble a metal overpass with your own hands using a minimum of tools.
Durability. With proper care and timely inspection, a metal trestle can last about ten years or more.

There are also some disadvantages. The metal is initially susceptible to corrosion, so before work the material must be treated with special impregnations.

Among the main advantages of a wooden trestle are the ease of assembly and low cost of materials.
It is easy to install and, if necessary, can be quickly dismantled and removed.
You do not need complex specialized equipment; ordinary carpentry tools that are found in every home are sufficient. Among the disadvantages of wooden structures are low durability and poor resistance to rot and insects. These problems can be partially solved by treating with antiseptics, fire retardants and insecticides.

Homemade car model

It is easy to instill in a child a love for technical crafts by keeping him busy with unusual crafts. One of these crafts is a miniature wooden car.

In order to make such a machine, we will need printouts of photographs of a wide variety of machines, wood blanks, as well as a band saw or jigsaw, glue, sandpaper, acrylic paints, a grinding machine or sandpaper glued to a wooden block, a tape measure or ruler.

Making a model car from wood is not a difficult job, but it is better to do it together with your child or let him make such a car himself under your supervision, especially if machines will be used in the production.

Even small children's 6 in 1 Machine Tools should be used carefully and in compliance with safety precautions.

At the very beginning, you will need to print out a photo of the machine that will be manufactured. You must edit the desired size yourself. The easiest way to find photos of the car is on the Internet. The photo must be of the side of the car, as well as the trunk, hood and roof. However, you can only use photographs of the side parts, and draw the top view yourself in a graphics editor.

However, you can arm yourself with paints and brushes and paint the missing details directly on the wooden blank after assembly.

When the images are prepared and printed, you can proceed directly to work, that is, pick up a wooden blank and see if the side image of the car fits on it.

If the image fits, then you should immediately glue it to this blank. We will need it in order to carefully cut out a picture of a car using a band saw or jigsaw.

In the future, the forms will be processed, so at the first stage it is enough to make a silhouette of the car.

After the silhouette is cut out on the tree, sandpaper is used to level the surface of the car. If you used bars of a thinner section than the finished car model, merge them together.

For gluing, it is better to use clamps or place a weight on the parts to be glued.

When the blanks have dried, it will be necessary to complete the processing of the wood, bringing it to ideal condition. For this mission you will need a sander from the 6 in 1 Machine Tool kit or sandpaper glued to a wooden block.

To do this, you need to peel off the photographs attached to the blank.

Making a mini-overpass from boards

Making a trestle with your own hands from wood begins with preparing materials and tools. Here you will need:

Wood blocks or just boards.
Wooden bars. They should have a square cross-section, the side of the square is 20 cm.
Saws.
Screwdrivers.
Nails and screws.

The main advantages of this design are mobility, lightness, and ease of assembly. But there are also disadvantages, since the strength of such a structure is not as great as we would like, and it also needs to be treated with protective agents from time to time so that the car platform does not rot or be damaged by parasites.

An example of a simple mini-overpass

Wood structures, by the way, can be of two types:

Whole.
Stepped. They are made from scraps of boards.

Their main difference is that the solid one is easier to assemble and it is light (in terms of weight). But the stepped one takes time and is not suitable for transportation. But on the other hand, it is easier to drive onto a stepped car platform, since it turns out to be longer than a solid one.

Drawing of a mini-overpass made of wood

Here we will look at a step-by-step algorithm for assembling a solid wooden overpass for a car with a partial collision. The instructions look like this:

We saw the blocks to equal lengths. You need to make sure that the top edge is cut slightly at an angle, and put a stop at the end.
We attach two boards to the block. One will be the base, the second will be the entrance. It is best to secure with long nails and screws.
The sides of the deck are reinforced with planks.
We make sure to put limiters on top in order to stop the car in time.

All that remains is to treat it with protection, and then do the second part.

Knowing how to make a car overpass with your own hands from metal or wood will be useful even for those who prefer to trust professionals to check their car. This is one of those skills that can definitely come in handy, because sometimes you don’t need the eye of a specialist to inspect a car. It is important to be able to carry out a simple inspection yourself, and the overpass will be very useful for these purposes.

Craft for kindergarten “Dad fixes the car”

Cover the base (a candy box or an old cutting board) with green paint, and draw a road in the middle with gray paint.

We make a car out of cardboard with our own hands. We need 2 identical side parts of a passenger car, and one rectangular part with teeth on both sides, with which we will glue all three parts.

Let's paint the rectangle and side parts with paint, and highlight the doors with a marker. Let's spread good glue on all the teeth, and placing the rectangle in the middle, bending it in the right places, glue it along the silhouette of the side parts.

We will also glue on four pre-painted wheels. We use white paint to mark the windows in the car.

You can make a dad out of plasticine or take a Lego man figurine.

Let's draw and cut out some trees. Using two squares bent in half, glue them to the base.

In the remaining empty spaces, crumble green threads, cut into small pieces, having previously coated the surface with PVA glue. The garden craft is ready!

Cardboard steering wheel for a photo shoot

If you are preparing for a thematic photo shoot and the theme is the sea and everything connected with it, then you can prepare a helm for this event. Use thick 3-ply white material and one of our templates. It is better to cut out such a wheel using a sharp stationery knife so that the product turns out neat. In theory it should look something like this:

Decor and furnishings

How to decorate your brand new car is up to you. It depends on the taste and purposes for which the masterpiece was created. If you have some old wheels, you can use them to create a project. You can also make wooden tires, but in this case you will need additional raw materials. Don't be lazy and make the car as realistic as possible, think over the door handles and exhaust system. Install a tape recorder and real seats, and if desired, you can even attach numbers. All these little things make the car look realistic and improve its appearance.

Now you already know how to make a car out of wood from start to finish. When creating a car, pay attention not only to the exterior, but also to what is inside. Decorate the interior with cute little things that you can’t imagine your car without. Perhaps hang an air freshener or cubes on your windshield. Such a car will be an unforgettable gift for any child, and his joy will have no limits.

You will undoubtedly be pleased with the fact that you can rightfully now consider yourself an auto builder. And the cars made of wood are real, because so much passion and love has been put into them. Every designer will agree that this is worth a lot.

DIY candy steering wheel: tips

Choose paper for pasting that matches the candy wrapper; it will be beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
You can take any candies themselves, as long as their wrappers are smooth and the bottom is flat.
For men, it is better to choose brown, silver tones for the design of a candy steering wheel; female car enthusiasts will appreciate pink, pastel and other delicate shades.
If you are preparing a craft as a gift for a child, glue not the car logo to the center of the steering wheel, but a picture depicting his favorite character from a fairy tale or cartoon.

Profit

The most important question that concerns all novice entrepreneurs is how much profit does making wooden toys with your own hands bring? A small handmade product costs about 150–200 rubles on the market. Its cost is 50-70 rubles. If you make designer toys and sell them at high prices, your income will be much higher. Since the production of wooden toys in Russia is not developed at the highest level, you can easily occupy a free niche in this area and earn good money. Such a business pays for itself in 1-1.5 years. It is not seasonal, but still, such an enterprise brings in the largest revenue during the New Year holidays. On average, producing a New Year's tree toy will cost you about 100 rubles. On the market such a product can be sold for 500 rubles.

Varnishing crafts

A collectible model of a retro car can be varnished or painted if desired; this is not necessary, but it will add greater individuality to your craft. Try to choose a good and high-quality varnish. Varnish with a special brush, take your time. Try not to leave any visible streaks of bubbles or lint from the brush.

Making an environmentally friendly toy car from wood

Today I will try to show you how to make an environmentally friendly toy for your child with your own hands.

We will make the Oka machine.

First we need to decide on the tool and material.

At the moment I am using linden for the material.

I personally prefer to work with linden, beech, oak and birch.

Next, I draw my “Oki” machine blank according to the template on a pre-prepared linden board (board thickness on average 20 mm).

The most common ideas

As you can see in the photo of children's cars made by hand, the material for them can be any available means: paper, cardboard, plywood, wood, metal, etc. There are no restrictions. The main thing is that the material is safe from an environmental point of view.

What to make a toy car from? It depends on who will do it. If it is a child, then his parents should carefully review the models from the “DIY Cars for Kindergarten” series to suggest a suitable option.

If dad plans to create a vehicle for his child, then it is preferable to focus on more complex designs, for example, making a car for a playground.

Retro car model

I bring to your attention a prefabricated wooden model of a retro car MG TC, from the British company MG Cars specializing in the production of sports cars. The work is difficult, but you shouldn't be afraid of it. The wooden model of a retro car consists of 42 elements. This model will serve as a good interior decoration and will take its rightful place on your shelf.

Plywood car

In order to assemble such a retro car with your own hands, you will need the following tools and accessories:

Preparation of the workplace

Plywood selection

Estimated dimensions of a car model made of plywood (10 cm x 26.5 cm x 10 cm). The drawing is based on A3 format, the parts can fit on two sheets of plywood measuring 38x23 cm, the thickness of the plywood should be from 2.5 to 3 mm. Before transferring the drawing to plywood, sand the workpiece with coarse-grain sandpaper and finish with fine-grain sandpaper. It is more convenient to sand with a wooden block wrapped in sandpaper. Sand the prepared plywood along the layers, not across. A well-polished surface should be flat, completely smooth, glossy-matte in the light and silky to the touch. Pay attention to grain placement, knots, dents and other imperfections. Quality and color.

The need to install a mini-overpass. Device

A modern car is a technically complex device that requires periodic maintenance, replacement of components and consumables, and minor repairs. Many inexperienced motorists prefer to carry out a routine inspection of the car exclusively at a service station and pay out of pocket even for an oil change.

More experienced drivers do most of the work themselves. To do this, a homemade overpass is often installed in the garage - a structure with which you can examine the bottom of the car.

There are two types of overpasses:

Full size.
When driving onto this structure, the car rises above the ground by about a meter. You can examine the bottom, hood, and carry out the necessary manipulations. Suitable for servicing passenger cars and light trucks
Mini overpasses.
Provide partial lifting of the vehicle. This is enough to carry out cosmetic repairs on your car yourself. Suitable for partial entry of passenger cars

To a first approximation, the functions of the overpass are similar to the inspection pit. It provides access to the underside of the car. However, if the level of groundwater is high at the site where the garage is being built, it is not advisable to equip an inspection hole: it will constantly be filled with water, which will require the installation of an additional drainage system, and corrosion will appear on the metal parts of the car due to increased moisture.

A full-size overpass is a monolithic structure that can be found in auto repair shops and along busy highways. Its installation requires a lot of space - the length of the product is about six meters above the ground plus the driveway. The construction of such an option in your own private garage is justified if the building is designed for two parking spaces, one of which is empty.

A mini-overpass is a small portable structure designed for partial collision with a car. It is based on two independent parts that are not connected to each other. The car drives onto the prepared platform with its rear or front wheels, rises slightly above the floor or ground and allows the car owner to carry out an initial inspection or cosmetic repairs.

The advantage of a mini-overpass is the ability to use it in limited space. After work it can be put aside. The main disadvantages of the design are as follows:

To enter the platform, pinpoint precision is required. Otherwise, the structure may overturn or the vehicle may be damaged.
Structural elements are installed in places where there is no possibility that they will diverge in different directions from the slightest push of the wheels.

DIY metal structure

In this case, to manufacture the structure we will use a 40x40 mm corrugated pipe (a total of 60 meters will be required). Additionally, the master uses a 25x25 mm profile (about 12 meters will be required).

The dimensions of the overpass for car repairs can be seen in the drawing below.

The first step is to weld four trusses of the same size from 40x40 mm corrugated pipe. The length of each truss is 4 meters.

A car overpass consists of two identical parts - ramps along which a car drives. One ladder consists of two trusses.

The trusses are connected to each other using horizontal jumpers 50 cm long, cut from a 40x40 mm profile.

We recommend: Ceramic tiles for a small bathroom

Additionally, two platforms will need to be welded - the beginning of the ride onto the ramps. The dimensions of the platforms are 50x50 mm. To make them, the author used a profile pipe and fittings.

After this, the platforms are welded to the ladders. Thus, the length of each ladder is 4.5 m.

For greater rigidity and strength of the structure, the author reinforces the trusses with jibs cut from a 25x25 mm profile pipe.

Small legs are welded in the center of each ladder.

The ramps work on the principle of a swing - a car drives up a hill onto the ramps, drives more than halfway, and the ramps become horizontal.

At the top of the ladders, pieces of reinforcement are welded at a distance of approximately 5-7 cm from each other. The car wheels will rest on them.

It is imperative to weld limiters on the front that will prevent the car from driving further than necessary.

You can get acquainted with the step-by-step process of making a metal overpass in the author's video.

General requirements

Making an overpass is not a complicated process, but you need to remember a few nuances:

The height of the full-size version is up to 1 meter, and the mini version allows you to raise the car by 0.3-0.7 meters.
The width of the structures is determined by the width of the car. To make it easy to access, the ramps and platforms are made 0.4 meters wide. These dimensions are sufficient for most wheels.
The safety margin determines the service life. In the mini model it is not so critical, and when building a stationary overpass they do not skimp on materials.

The overpass, assembled independently, should fit in ordinary garages. When creating a drawing, take into account how much free space there is to store it.

Features of overpasses for gates

Based on the listed advantages, car enthusiasts often prefer to use a homemade overpass over conventional inspection pits, which allows them to conveniently solve many problems and repair breakdowns that have occurred in the car.

Structures can be made with bases of varying complexity:

Welded products require special equipment and welding skills.
A simpler device is called a ladder, which consists of two small wooden stairs. The car drives its wheels onto them, and the part needed for inspection rises to a certain height. On such an overpass it is possible to carry out the necessary amount of repair work.

The construction is not so difficult to do on your own. To do this, you will need to prepare boards approximately 50 millimeters thick and square bars 100 millimeters long on each side.

The optimal height of such devices is 15 centimeters, which is enough to complete repair work in full. The portable overpass allows all driver manipulations to be completely safe.

After driving onto the created plane, the car is located in a horizontal position, which ensures the stability of such a structure.

Advice: When on an overpass, the driver needs to be on the safe side: put the car on the handbrake, and put any stop under the wheels that will impede movement.

Amazing wooden cars!!!

What scope for creativity a simple machine gives, and even more so a wooden one, so cozy, simple and at the same time functional!!! And we have a lot of them, and they all drive perfectly on any surface; it doesn’t matter to them whether it’s smooth or uneven)) The wheels of the cars are strong, smoothly polished and rotate great. Our cars can also teach counting or be useful on the farm (for example, a trailer and a timber truck). Well, for very little ones we have the Beetle, the simplest and most ergonomic Beetle machine, which fits so comfortably in a small hand and is very easy to roll.

A child who is just beginning to explore the world and become aware of himself in it is unusually fascinated by things and phenomena that are very simple from our adult point of view. Now the child moves his hand, and the machine, responding to his will, also begins to move! The large (4 cm diameter) wheels spin - their movement is easy to see and observe - but how do they spin? Wow! Simultaneously! Many mothers can remember how their children began to play with their first cars: if the action takes place on the floor, the baby also lies on the floor, slowly drives the car, carefully watching the rotation of the wheels and sometimes looking from the opposite side. He changes his hands, changes the direction of movement and, enchanted, continues to watch the spinning wheels. Apparently something very important happens in the child’s head at this time, since such a study can be repeated several times and take quite a long time. Well, “experienced” drivers will get the real pleasure of starting the car with all their might and seeing how far it will roll. And if there are several cars, then you can arrange real competitions with your brother, sister, or mother. Build a garage out of cubes, play through the most important traffic rules - just let your imagination fly! Body material: maple (oak), wheels: tinted beech. The machines are coated with a composition based on edible linseed oil, which is used for polishing wooden spoons used for eating. We chose this particular oil because, firstly, it is essentially a food composition, which means that a car treated with it can be offered to even the smallest drivers who are ready to try everything around. Well, secondly, it reveals the natural texture of the wood without changing its color one bit. The color of maple wood ranges from almost white, with a slight pearly sheen, to slightly yellowish. The light body is contrasted by dark, slightly shiny wheels.

Main types

Based on the type of construction, there are two types of overpasses for cars:

Full-size ones allow you to repair a machine that is completely raised above ground level by 1 meter. They are bulky and require a lot of space. Suitable for both passenger cars and trucks.
Mini overpass. It consists of two small, independent from each other, beveled on one side of the podium. The auto overpass allows you to lift the car from the front or rear wheels. Used for partial inspection of the bottom. The disadvantage of this design was the need for the driver to have pinpoint precision when driving on it.

Main types of road overpasses

Depending on the budget and complexity of the repair, there are two types of overpass structures:

Allows you to raise only one axle of the car (front or rear).
Full-size (designed to accommodate the entire car).

The first option is economical and convenient. The mini-overpass for partial entry has small dimensions and weight. It is easily installed on a level surface and removed after the repair is completed. The main disadvantage is that it is not as convenient to use as a full-size design, since the lift of the car here does not exceed 50-60 centimeters.

The full-format option is more expensive and more difficult to implement, but gives the car owner simultaneous access to all body components. Let us note in passing that, regardless of the type of overpass, for its high-quality production you need to make a drawing, and during assembly, accurately maintain the dimensions of the structure.

Three groups of sizes are especially important:

height and width of the supporting pedestals of the “chairs”;
length of the ladder (entrance and horizontal);
ladder width.

In addition, attention should be paid to the junction points of the ladders with the pedestals. They must support the weight of the car without deformation.

Stationary

Full-size overpasses are of the stationary type. They are installed along highways, on roadsides, and at service stations. The platform is raised high above the ground and allows for a detailed inspection of the car from the bottom and for carrying out repair work. Designed to support the weight of cars and trucks.

The strongest and most durable structure is made of metal. To create an observation deck, brick, wood, pipes and channel are used.

Advice! If the garage is built for 2 cars, but there is only one there, then the free space can be allocated for your own overpass.

Other types of overpasses

This type of overpass can be used not only in the garage.
But not all of us have two cars or large garages in which to play football or hold a party, so it’s worth paying attention to mini-overpasses that can be dismantled or freely moved around the territory and stored in a garage or shed. Making them will require some ingenuity. Here are a few options for you to choose from:

rectangular trapezoid;
"rocking chair";
reversible;
based on sleepers.
One-sided pyramid. To make this type of platform you will need a minimum of effort, time and money. You need to have approximately 17 m of boards on hand, 5 cm high and 30 cm wide, maybe less if you are an ace at driving on a narrow gauge railway, but it’s better not to risk it. Next, we cut out two beams of the same length with the following dimensions: 45 cm, 70 cm, 95 cm, 120 cm, 145 cm, 170 cm and 195 cm. After all the parts are ready, you can start assembling - just connect them together so that at one end they create a plane, and at the other they look like a ladder. You can use nails or self-tapping screws - whatever is at hand or more convenient for you. The assembly process should have resulted in two pyramids, cut off on one side. But such an overpass is not yet suitable for a car to drive onto it. The two blocks may suddenly separate and cause damage to the underbody, or the vehicle may overturn. To prevent this from happening, we do the following. On the inner sides we install two metal corners with holes. Next, choose two metal or wooden slats. We make holes along the edges and attach them to the corners. After such an operation, the stands will not move to the side. When the car is already on top, carefully unscrew the safety crossbars and carry out the necessary repairs.

Overpass pyramid

A similar cut-down pyramid or trapezoid can be made from a metal channel; it will be much more reliable and durable. Instead of climbing with a “staircase”, you will simply need to make an inclined drive.

Note! Using such a device, the car can be raised by 30 cm; if a greater height is needed, add a few more bars of greater length. Be sure to install restraints at the front to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward, and secure the rear wheels.

Rocking type design

The “rocking chair” is also a very simple design that any car owner can make. Two boards are selected as thick as in the previous example, the length can be 1 m. We take four 10x10x30 cm blocks and place them as follows: one of them is on one of the edges, the second is almost in the middle with an offset to the first.

We recommend: What is the difference between engineered and parquet boards: what are the differences, which one is better to choose and what is the difference, the color of American walnut parquet in the interior

We secure it firmly and do not forget to place emphasis. Now, when the car runs over its wheels, the boards will be thrown over due to a shift in the center of gravity; with further advancement, they will be supported by two bars. All! The car is up! Repairs can be made.

You can vary the dimensions, focusing on the ground clearance of a particular vehicle and the length of the wheelbase.

High metal overpass

There is another version of this overpass, it is a little more complicated to implement, but much more reliable. Designs may vary. Here is one of them. Take a 30×30 corner, larger if possible, adjust the length based on your car. We will need 8 such segments. We connect them in parallel using reinforcement bars.

The result should be 4 bases of the same size. The lower parts can be made longer and wider for greater stability. Next we make two stops. One of them will be in the form of a bar, as in the previous example, we weld it to the edge. We install the second one with a slight offset from the middle.

But it should be made a little differently - in the shape of an isosceles triangle. We movably connect it to the lower base. If you do not touch the stands, they will be folded at an angle. When the car moves along them, the wheel shifts its center, aligning the horizontal, and rests against the block.

Now you can use the latches to secure the platform in this position.

Platform

Using a platform is an interesting approach to the matter. To make it, you need to get a corner we already love, or use a square profile.

Next, using a welding machine, 2 isosceles triangles are made so that the base is 1.5 times longer than the wheelbase, and the apex angle is obtuse. The platform is placed on them. Now everything is ready.

The car drives onto the structure and, resting against the limiters, reaches the end.

Note! Place stands under the rear wheels to prevent the car from rolling away when it is on an overpass.

From sleepers

The sleeper-based trestle is very easy to make. Two sleepers are laid, one in continuation of the other. Strong boards are laid on the part with the recess, after which a small slide is created.

That’s it – the platform is ready, you can move in and make repairs. The disadvantage is that the sleepers need to be stored somewhere, although it is unlikely that anyone will decide to take them away from you.

For this kind of platform it is not necessary to use sleepers; anything that can securely support the boards will do.

Note! When building a homemade overpass, do not forget to protect your car by installing limiters - they will prevent the car from falling off the overpass.

As you can see, there is no particular difficulty in lifting the machine for servicing. Now you know how to make a flyover from scrap materials that are found in almost every garage. Tell your friends and share your experience.

Collapsible

The collapsible overpass has smaller dimensions. It fits easily in the garage and, if necessary, is quickly assembled. Designed for inspection of a passenger car.

The design includes:

4 stands for supports;
2 pairs of platforms with a stopper to prevent the car from rolling away;
2 pairs of horizontal ramps for inclined access;
several stiffening ribs for fixing parts relative to each other.

They are built from metal. The thicker and more durable the material chosen, the longer the structure will last.
