AI Technical Summary
The increasing cost of wood and the limited potential for material savings in traditional wood garden house constructions pose a challenge in reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining static stability.
A garden house construction featuring a cubic wooden base body with lamellar panels arranged on its outer sides, connected via threaded rods, which provides torsional rigidity, absorbs wind loads, and offers shading through obliquely placed lamellae.
This design reduces material usage while ensuring static stability and providing a shading effect, thereby addressing the cost and material efficiency challenges in traditional wood garden house constructions.

Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a garden house construction made of wood and in particular to a garden house construction which can be manufactured with little material and has good statics.
[0002] Garden sheds are traditionally made of wood, the advantages of which as a building material are well known to experts. In recent years, the price of wood has risen sharply, and with it the material costs for wooden garden sheds.
[0003] Accordingly, one goal is to reduce the manufacturing costs of wooden garden sheds. This goal can only be achieved if less wood is required for each garden shed.
[0004] One way to reduce the use of wood as a building material is to partially use other building materials such as concrete or steel. However, since the prices of these building materials are not significantly cheaper than those of wood and are sometimes even higher, substitution is only economically justified in exceptional cases.
[0005] Another way to save wood as a building material is to use less material. Since garden sheds have already been optimized in terms of material use in the past, significant material savings are no longer possible this way.
[0006] This problem therefore appears difficult to solve, as neither the building materials nor the conventional constructions offer any potential for savings.
[0007] Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide a garden house construction that can be manufactured with a lower use of materials compared to the prior art.
[0008] The object of the invention is achieved with a garden house construction according to claim 1.
[0009] Next, a preferably cubic wooden base structure is provided, with louvre panels arranged on its outer sides. The louvre panels are connected to the base structure via threaded rods. This makes the base structure torsionally rigid and able to withstand even strong wind loads.
[0010] Furthermore, the louvre panels are designed to provide light protection. The louvre panels feature angled louvres. Depending on the orientation of the base body in a particular direction, the louvre panels can be mounted to create a shading effect.
[0011] The basic idea of the invention is that building material, in order to ensure structural stability, also simultaneously has a second function, i.e. it serves to provide shade.
[0012] The invention is explained using a schematic drawing. Fig. 1 shows a cube-shaped base body with three slatted panels. List of reference symbols 1 cube-shaped base body 2, 2a, 2b Wind load 3 slatted panels 3a Threaded rods
[0013] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a cube-shaped base body 1, to which two horizontal and one vertical louvre panel 3 are attached by threaded rods 3a. Reference numerals 2, 2a, and 2b symbolically denote a wind load that would displace the base body laterally if the three louvre panels 3 were not arranged for stabilization.
[0014] According to an advantageous development of the invention, the slatted panels can be mounted in such a way that the typical position of the sun is taken into account.
[0015] The expert knows that the slats can be of different sizes and can be pivoted.
Claims
[1] Garden house construction which has: a preferably cubic base body (1) with four side walls and a roof, characterized by , that on at least two abutting side walls in the upper region of the side walls, a horizontally arranged slatted panel (3) is firmly connected to the respective side wall by means of threaded rods (3a), wherein at least one free end of a horizontally arranged slatted panel (3) a further slatted panel (3) is arranged vertically and is firmly connected to the side wall by threaded rods (3a). [2] Garden house construction according to claim 1, characterized by that the slats are made of wood or UV-resistant plastic. [3] Garden house construction according to claim 1, characterized by that the slats can be pivoted around their longitudinal axis.
