The importance of bathing procedures is difficult to overestimate. A regular bath can prevent many diseases. A visit to the steam room normalizes metabolism, promotes the removal of toxins, relieves colds. In addition, it is an excellent relaxing and tonic agent that helps relieve stress after a hard day's work. And how wonderful it is to go outside after the steam room, enjoy the birds singing and cool fresh air, cool down a little and relax.

Bath with a terrace - a rational and economical idea

The project of a bath with a terrace gives a lot of advantages and new opportunities, perfectly complements and decorates the site. Do you want to ensure a complete rest? In this case, you can arrange a place for a barbecue on the terrace. A large terrace with a 6x6 sauna will become a favorite place for many. Having placed chairs and a table, it is pleasant to receive guests here, relax, listen to music, and in the evenings, after steam and a broom, drink tea and treat yourself to barbecue with smoke. A bathhouse with a relaxation room and a terrace is equally good and comfortable for both summer and winter pastime.

Projects of baths with a terrace can be either miniature, compact or large enough. The general appearance of such buildings is simply amazing. They look very attractive on the site. There are enough interesting projects of baths with a terrace on our website so that everyone can choose the option to their liking. And if suddenly the submitted projects cannot satisfy your wishes, we will develop a project from scratch especially for you. Then it will definitely meet all your requirements and bring a lot of pleasure!

Visiting the banya was considered in Russia not only as a way of taking water procedures, but also as a form of leisure that is beneficial to health. Therefore, the owners of suburban areas are always engaged in the construction of such a building, selecting projects of baths with a terrace and a barbecue. Photo, presented below, offer ways to organize backyard space for picnics after visiting the steam room.

The design of country buildings, tailored to the individual needs of the owners, allows you to optimally equip the space in the country. If necessary, you can build an object in two floors. Outbuildings equipped with a recreation area can significantly improve the quality of life in a cottage and make it possible to organize leisure activities in comfortable conditions.

How to choose the right type?

Architectural bureaus offer ready-made developments with an extension, and can also create an individual plan. When choosing a suitable type of architectural appearance, one must proceed from the size of the locker room, steam room, veranda, dining room, guest room and the number of people who should fit in them.

Optimal for summer holidays will be a covered space with a total area of ​​8 m 2. However, if you plan to invite a large number of guests, then you need a larger room.

When developing a project, a number of nuances should be taken into account:

• seasonality of use;
• the number of visitors;
• planning;
• material;
• construction cost;
• location of buildings on the site.

When choosing the appropriate type, the intensity of operation of such buildings should be taken into account. If you plan to steam only in the summer, then you can save on insulation and on the dressing room.

If the steam room will be used in the winter, then it is necessary to provide for a convenient location for the entrance even at the stage of drawing development.

If you choose the right layout of the premises, you can reduce construction costs. By developing a spacious open structure for barbecues, you can save on a guest room.

An example of a terraced structure

Tip! If you already have a ready-made bathhouse outside the city, then you can build a terrace. To do this, consider its location. Installing a new building to an old building does not make sense. You can place a covered building for barbecue between the house and the bath.

Arrangement of unprotected space is chosen according to individual preferences and based on the architectural style of the entire suburban complex. The layout of the indoor facility is also important, in which it is necessary to take into account the correct location of the barbecue, summer stove or other cooking device. It must be remembered that the smoke from the stove should not go inside.

Tip! When choosing a stove, you need to proceed from the general style of the interior. This will create a single architectural ensemble.

Types of extensions

Usually as an extension are:

• terrace;
• veranda;
• alcove.

The choice depends on a number of factors, which include:

• the cost of construction work;
• individual preferences;
• architectural style;
• placement.

The terrace is usually made open. It requires the construction of a not very deep foundation. The construction of such an extension will be cheaper than the construction of a veranda or gazebo.

The veranda has its advantages. It is erected closed, so it can be well insulated and used throughout the year. Arbors with a specially arranged grill area are more expensive, as they require the use of a large number of decorative elements, building materials and special drawings.

The owner of the cottage needs to choose the best development option for him, which will be used as a place for leisure.

Layout and location

Before you start building a gazebo, you should find a suitable location for it. Usually it is done along the entire facade of the building. This arrangement saves on materials and makes moving more comfortable for those leaving the steam room. In this type of construction, there is no need to talk about the lack of space for cooking and feasting. With this placement, the veranda or terrace can be partially open or partially closed. The use of external walls allows you to save on building materials. The choice of a suitable layout will ensure the construction of an object of architectural appearance, which is in the general style of the entire complex of buildings.

The option of building a structure along one of the walls is also used. This type of layout is suitable for those cases where there is a shortage of space. Creating optimal zoning, you need to provide places for eating and cooking, for entertainment. To do this, you should correctly determine the size of the object being built in the country.

You can use the corner construction option. In this case, the stove will be installed on the covered area itself. The corner model is used when there is a shortage of adjacent territory in the country.

In some cases, a covered barbecue area is built separately, close to the bath complex. Then there is a small transition between the steam room and the resting place. This option is suitable for summer use.

Individual projects

When developing individual projects, architects will be able to take into account all the preferences of the customer, the features of the layout of the country house and the size of the buildings. With the help of modern finishing materials, specialists create original solutions for the entertainment area in the country. So, you can install French glass, and thereby partially turn it into a veranda.

Multi-level structures are used when the site is created from several floors. This option is good for a small area. For a classic Russian-style steam room, a typical project is offered, which includes guest apartments, a place to relax, cook barbecue and a dressing room in which clothes are left before washing. Such a space can be used for household needs, at a time when the bath is not heated. It is possible to make the object two-story. In this case, the guest rooms are located on the top floor.

Common Mistakes

For friendly gatherings at the end of the working week, there is nothing better than a comfortable terrace or gazebo, where you can gather with friends after a steam room, drink fragrant tea, taste fresh, freshly cooked meat dishes on a nearby barbecue or grill. To receive guests or arrange fun family picnics with relatives, you need to properly build a sauna log house, in which there would be a place for a steam room, a relaxation room, a closed or open space for a barbecue.

When choosing a suitable project, cottage owners forget to take into account how often the object will be used. In the case of year-round use of the soap, you will have to take care of the heat capacity of the building and the comfort of visitors, who will need to undress and dress in warmth, and not in the cold.

Today, they often make an open structure with a low fence. For landscaping, paving slabs or stone are used. When constructing such objects, the owners forget about the need to install the correct pile foundation for the terrace, which would give the entire object greater stability and protect it from swelling of the soil in winter.

Important! In order for the paving slabs not to deteriorate after the first wintering, it is necessary to build a shallow slab foundation for such structures. Insulation is laid on the slabs, and only after that it is possible to carry out the installation of paving slabs.

The disadvantage of a simple pile foundation is the lack of a solid base and insulation that protect the structure from destruction.

Such a base is not suitable for intumescent soils and soils with a close occurrence of groundwater. Pile light foundation can only be done on dry sandy soils.

Stove installation

For the rational use of heat, it is required to install the stove in such a way that it can heat all the rooms adjacent to the steam room, including extensions, if they are of a closed type.

For the winter operation of the suburban steam room and adjacent premises, it is necessary to provide for the installation of heating for guest rooms, since the heat of one stove will not be enough in the cold season to keep the rooms in good condition. During off-season operation of the facility, a vestibule is installed, which protects the entire space from the cold and saves fuel consumption.

The stove in such a structure can be heated with wood, coal or gas. The choice of heating depends on the budget of the cottage owner and the designer's intent.

The hearth for cooking on the site must have an open fire, as required by the preparation of shish kebabs and grills. With the help of a detailed plan, the issue of arranging the territory around the steam room outside the city is taken into account. If everything is provided for at the stage of developing technical documents, then you can reasonably invest in the improvement of your own suburban area and improve your living conditions on it.

Today, people prefer to choose a recreation complex with a steam room in Russian style, made of logs and modern building materials. Saunas are built less often, but wood is also chosen as a material for them. Wood has a lot of advantages, it is environmentally friendly, durable and fits into various architectural styles. Therefore, wooden building materials are used for the construction of such structures in summer cottages and country cottages.

Thanks to modern building materials, developers have the opportunity to build various options for one-story baths with a veranda.

Buildings differ in:

• foundation type. For such baths, you can use screw pile, columnar, columnar with grillages and shallow-depth tape types of foundations;

We no longer remember the differences in the designs of furnaces, the presence of autonomous heating, and a drainage system. In one article, it is not even theoretically possible to consider all the features of the construction of each version of the bath, we will consider only one option: a foam block bath.

With the preparation of the project, it is not necessary to contact specialized companies, it is very expensive. It is enough to get acquainted with numerous offers on the Internet and, based on the information received, choose the best option for yourself or create your own individual project. By what criteria to choose (or draw up) a bath project?

The number of family members. For a family of three to four people, it is quite enough to have a bath with a size of ≈10÷16 m2. such dimensions make it possible to place a quite comfortable washing room (≈4 m2), a steam room (≈4 m2) and a rest room (≈3 m2) inside.

Bath project
Layout option

If the family is larger or you plan to take a bath with friends, a bath option with dimensions of ≈20÷30 m2 is suitable. These dimensions make it possible to significantly increase the rest room (up to ≈10 m2), the size of the steam room and washing room up to 6 m2, and make a separate vestibule at the entrance door.

It is desirable to simultaneously make a veranda (terrace). What is the difference between a veranda and a terrace? The veranda is glazed and can be insulated. We would not advise making a veranda, its role is perfectly performed by the rest room. And the terrace will allow you to enjoy fresh air after water procedures. But we only advise, the final decision is yours.

We will focus on only one rather simple option. baths with a veranda made of foam blocks.

The technology of building a bath with a veranda made of foam blocks

Of all the possible options for building structures, we choose the simplest.

1. Tape shallow foundation and drainage system.
2. Gable sloping roof for a bath and a veranda, covered with a metal profile.
3. Interior decoration and floors - natural lining and planed boards.
4. Homemade metal stove.
5. External finishing - painting with resistant paints.

Stages of work

First you need to calculate the required materials. What will you need?

During the manufacture of concrete, cement of a certain brand, sand and gravel will be required. To get acquainted with the recommended proportions, study the proposed table No. 1.

To calculate the amount of concrete ingredients, use table No. 2

During the manufacture of concrete, no one weighs the ingredients with an accuracy of up to a kilogram with their own hands; industrial enterprises use these standards to write off materials.

For our version of the bath, concrete grade 200 is sufficient, it can withstand a load of ≈200 kg / cm2.

Calculate the volume of your foundation and the volume of the foundation for the furnace (if it has one), this will give you the opportunity to determine the amount of all the components of the concrete. The resulting value must be increased by about ten percent, which will cover possible errors and waste.

For the box you need to buy foam blocks. For laying one cubic meter of blocks, approximately 0.2 m3 of cement-sand mortar is required, keep this in mind. To calculate the number of blocks, you need to divide one cubic meter by the volume of one block. For example, with a block size of 200 × 300 × 600 mm, its volume is 0.036 m3, therefore, for a cubic meter of masonry, 27.8 pieces will be needed. (1:0.036).

In the same way, count the number of floorboards, boards for ceiling and wall sheathing, plastic lining and roofing. Determine the number and length of floor and ceiling beams 100 × 100 mm in size, boards for rafters 50 × 100 mm, laths for lathing 20 × 50 mm. Calculations of the amount of roofing materials, insulation and waterproofing materials are no different.

Of course, you need to purchase nails and screws, skirting boards, trim, doors and windows. All calculations have been made, the material has been purchased - construction work can begin.

Foundation

We have already decided that we are choosing a tape shallow option.

No. p / p	Description of works	Illustration
Step 1.	Site preparation. It is necessary to level the site along the perimeter of the foundation to the maximum and remove the upper fertile layer. Do not be lazy to level the ground, otherwise you will have to increase the cost of materials and time to build the foundation.
Step 2	Markup. A very important stage, it is very difficult to correct the mistakes made, and in many cases impossible. Prepare wooden pegs, tape measure and rope. Drive in pegs according to the dimensions of the outer sides of the foundation and check the corners. They should all be exactly 90°. Pre-make the markup according to the template. You need to check using the diagonals - the length of the two diagonals should be the same. The width of the foundation in our case is 25 centimeters.
Step 3	Trench digging. A depth of 60 centimeters is enough, to prevent swelling of the earth at the bottom, you need to make a sand cushion 15 ÷ 20 cm thick. This is much easier than digging a foundation to a freezing depth, in cold climatic regions it can reach more than two meters. The sand compensates for the swelling of the frozen earth, the foundation will be stable. If a stove with a foundation is breaded, prepare a hole for it as well.
Step 4	Pouring concrete into the ground. If the ground on your site is dense and the trenches do not collapse - great, concrete can be poured without formwork. If sand - you will have to make formwork not only above the ground, but also in a trench. This must be immediately foreseen and adjusted to the width of the foundation. The formwork is made from cut pieces, used boards, sheet plywood or moisture-resistant OSB boards. It is very important - fasten the formwork in such a way that it can be easily dismantled later.

It is ideal to pour concrete all at once, it doesn’t work - do the pouring in stages. The main thing is that the concrete should be laid in a layer of the same thickness around the entire perimeter, otherwise the strength of the foundation will deteriorate sharply. Do not forget about tamping, you can do it with special vibrators or homemade pushers.

Concrete should be reinforced with building reinforcement of a periodic profile Ø 5 ÷ 8 mm.

Reinforcement - scheme

Very important: the distance of the reinforcing box between the formwork must be at least 5 centimeters, lift it from the bottom with stones. A bunch of reinforcement is carried out with wire.

Very important. Do not forget to make air ventilation for the floor, without functional natural ventilation, the boards will rot very quickly. To do this, insert pipe sections into the formwork or make wooden boxes. The distance between the air ducts in opposite walls is approximately 1.5÷2 meters. At the same time, leave a hole in one of the corners to drain water.

Manufacturing and installation of formwork

The height of the formwork should be slightly greater than the height of the foundation, the formwork is level, securely fasten all panels to the ground. Remember that fixing a "bulging" foundation is very difficult.

The work is carried out in the same way as pouring concrete into the ground. With one difference - carefully check the horizontal position, building standards allow a horizontal deviation of no more than one centimeter per five linear meters. In most cases, the surface of the tape will have to be trimmed again. Let the concrete cure for at least two weeks, then remove the formwork.

The foundation is ready, you can start laying blocks.

Block masonry

Step 1. Markup. Before marking, lay two layers of waterproofing on the foundation. In this case, it does not so much protect the blocks from destruction (they are not afraid of high humidity) as all the wooden elements adjacent to them. Make accurate markings of doorways and junctions of internal walls with external ones. Next, a very important point is the placement of corner lighthouse blocks.

At all corners of the building, without mortar, we lay on the block, set them with maximum accuracy in terms of level, check the distance between them along the perimeter and, of course, the corners with a rope. How to check the corners, we have already described above. The maximum discrepancy between the length of the diagonals and the perimeter of the building should not exceed two centimeters, this indicator can be eliminated during the laying of walls. Now you can put beacon blocks on the solution.

Laying the first row of blocks - the result

Step 2 Carefully drive nails into the lighthouse blocks and pull the rope between them. This will be the template line in height and linearity for the next row of blocks. The rows of blocks should hang over the plinth a little, so it will be easier to do the finishing work on the plinth later. Apply a mortar with a thickness of 1.5 ÷ 2 cm to the foundation, then adjust the length of the applied area, taking into account the speed of your masonry.

Keep in mind that foam concrete blocks absorb water very quickly, all work should be done quickly. The first row is laid with special care. First, this series is considered basic. Secondly, you still do not have enough experience to use "masterful accurate eye" instead of the level. The length of the wall is rarely a multiple of the length of the blocks, they will have to be cut, use an ordinary hacksaw for this, foam blocks are perfectly cut with such a simple tool.

Step 3 Do not forget during the laying of the first row of facade walls to start laying out the first row of internal walls with reference.

Step 4 At the corners of the bath and at the junction of the walls, carefully place 3 ÷ 4 rows of blocks, check their position several times. Further, at the joints of each row, you will fix the rope and continue laying along it. In the future, all operations must be repeated: again lay several rows in the corners, pull the rope and build walls.

Step 5 Window openings. When the height of the walls is equal to the height of the windows or doors, make markings according to their width, continue laying, taking into account the height of the windows. As a jumper, you can use a metal corner 50 ÷ 50 mm or more or metal fittings with a diameter of 10 mm or more, or make a concrete jumper. The ends of the jumpers should extend approximately 25-30 cm onto the walls on each side of the window or door opening.

Step 6 The last two rows need to be reinforced with building reinforcement Ø 10 mm, lay the bars in two or three rows at an equal distance. Before reaching one row to the end of the masonry, lay ceiling beams 50 ÷ 100 mm. Due to the fact that the attic will not be used, boards 50 × 100 mm can be used for the ceiling, the ends of the boards resting on the wall must be insulated with roofing material. The distance between the beams is 1÷1.5 meters. Lay the last top row of blocks. On this box is almost ready, the gables will be walled up after the roof is erected. Windows will need to be made in the gables.

Now you can start building the roof. We will have a gable with a departure for the veranda.

Roof

The bath is small in size, we choose one of the simplest options for the truss system - hanging.

Hanging rafters - calculations

Do not forget that the roof will be with a departure, before installing it, you need to fix the vertical supports for the veranda. Measure their length exactly and fasten them to the foundation using metal corners, check the height again and trim if necessary. Horizontalness checks with a rope or hydraulic level.

An example of the construction of a veranda - a pillar of timber

In order for the work to be carried out quickly and safely, it is necessary to lay a temporary (rough) coating on the existing ceiling beams. Use any boards for this, anyway, they will then need to be removed to insulate the bath ceiling. But do not be too "hacky", you will need to walk along this temporary ceiling during the construction of the roof.

Mauerlat installation

The rafters will rest on it; for the Mauerlat, use a beam of 100 × 100 mm. The beam is laid under the rope along the entire length of the bath and veranda; use roofing material for waterproofing. Be careful about waterproofing, the fact is that all cement-based materials tend to absorb atmospheric moisture. And high humidity has a negative effect on wooden structures.

Step 1. Check the position of the upper masonry belt, if necessary, trim it with mortar.

Step 2 Measure the length of the opposite walls and the distance to the extreme vertical support column, prepare the timber according to these data.

Step 3 Put two layers of roofing material on the wall and a beam on it, do all the work on a stretched rope, the Mauerlat should be in the middle of the blocks.

Very important! The distance between opposite Mauerlats must be exactly the same.

Step 4 Securely attach the Mauerlat to the wall. To do this, you can use trimming reinforcement with a length of 30 ÷ 40 centimeters. Before laying the Mauerlats, it is advisable to drill holes in them for metal dowels, the distance between the holes is about one meter. Drill the walls through the existing holes, drive in the metal dowels. Mauerlat must be firmly fixed, correctly perform all construction operations.

Mauerlats must also be made for the vertical supports of the veranda. We strongly recommend that one beam overlap the supports and be tied to the bath box - the stability of the structure will increase.

Step 5. Calculate the dimensions of the rafters, make one blank from the boards. It is not advisable to use the headstock for vertical stops; it is enough just to tie the rafter legs together with the upper screed.

For fastening, use nails or self-tapping screws of the appropriate length, metal corners and plates. This will greatly speed up and simplify the process of building a truss system. For our rafters, a board 50 × 100 mm is suitable, the distance between the rafters is 1.2 ÷ 1.4 meters, the number of rafters should be more than necessary to cover the box - this roof will simultaneously cover the veranda. The angle of inclination of the slopes is within 20÷30°. Do not forget that the rafters should protrude thirty centimeters beyond the walls to drain rain and melt water.

How to make a template? Take boards of suitable length with a thickness of 20 ÷ 25 mm, lift them onto the roof of the bath. With one nail, overlap at the top, the boards should rotate. First, “by eye”, set the angle of inclination, drive in the second nail at the top, thus fixing the angle of inclination of the rafter legs. Attach the template to the Mauerlats, mark the docking point, cut the stubborn “heels” in these places, check the position of the rafter legs again. Walk with the template along the entire length of the bath, check the rafters. If everything is fine, you can lower the template to the ground. According to this template, make all the rafters, lift ready-made structures to the roof. Further, the rafter legs can be mounted on the Mauerlats.

Step 6 Install the rafters along the edges of the roof, including their flight over the veranda.

Check the position, everything is fine - temporarily fix them from below with any boards or slats of the appropriate length. Pull the rope over the ridge and you can install all the other rafter legs.

Step 7 Nail the crate. In our version, a metal profile (profiled sheet) was chosen for roofing. The distance between the crate is approximately 40 centimeters, this is enough to securely fix the sheets. For the crate, you can use slats or inexpensive boards. The latter are preferable - there is less chance of a self-tapping screw falling into the rail.

Step 8. If there is a desire - install a hydro-barrier, if there is no desire - do not install it. A properly covered roof will not leak. In addition, our attic space is not in use, there is no need to insulate the roof.

Step 9 Carefully mark the position of the first row of profiled sheets, the length of the overlap should be at least 10 centimeters. It is advisable to lay the first row without fixing and check everything.

Step 10 Fasten the sheets in turn using special self-tapping screws with a rubber gasket, the length of the self-tapping screws is at least 25 mm. On the ridge you need to install a special metal curved bar. You can buy it at the store or make it yourself. Attach snow guards.

Step 11. Hammer the parts of the rafters protruding above the wall with wind boards.

Step 12 Install a drainage system. The brackets must be fixed to the wind boards, make a slight angle of inclination towards the water receiver. Place the vertical pipes after the outer walls have been sheathed.

Now you can block the pediments with blocks, provide windows in them. That's all with the roof. You can start installing floors and ceilings.

Installing the floor in the steam room

We will lay the floors directly on the floor beams, the distance between the beams is one meter, for covering use an ordinary edged planed board with a thickness of approximately 25 mm. Before starting the installation of the floor, determine the place of water flow, prepare the receiver and draw a conclusion beyond the perimeter of the bath.

For a better descent of water, we will make a slight slope of the floor, 2 ÷ 3 ° is enough. to one of the walls, you can buy a factory grill or make it yourself from a piece of sheet aluminum.

Step 1. Make markings and install floor beams from a 100 × 100 mm timber. The ends must be wrapped with roofing material. Fix the beams in the blocks of the wall, for this, gouge them into holes 10 cm deep. Insert the beams into them, seal the gaps with mortar. Don't forget to make a slight slope. In other rooms of the bath, the beams are installed in a similar way, only without a slope. To install the floors, you will need to make an emphasis on pulling them together or buy a ready-made one in the store. This stop is attached to the beam, a wooden wedge is driven in between it and the floorboards to attract.

Step 2 Nail the boards in turn, you can leave small gaps in the steam room, in other rooms the floor should be dense.

Step 3 Nail the skirting boards, in the corners the skirting boards are connected at an angle of 45 °, make the cuts as accurate as possible.

While it is not necessary to grind the floorboards, this work will be done at the end of the work after the upholstery of the walls and the installation of windows and doors. In other rooms, the floor is installed according to the described algorithm without a slope.

Ceiling installation

For the ceiling, you need to take edged boards with a thickness of 20 mm, the top of the ceiling can be covered with used material. We advise you to make insulation with foam. The fact is that mineral wool is very afraid of high humidity, in such conditions its heat-saving characteristics deteriorate significantly. And it is expensive to use various steam and hydrobarriers. And they do not give a 100% guarantee of protection.

Nail the boards to the ceiling beams from below, keep an eye on the dimensions, avoid distortions. If necessary, leave a hole in the attic. Lay foam sheets at least five centimeters thick on the nailed boards tightly, cover with boards on top. If you already know the specific location of the stove and chimney outlet, leave holes. It is better, of course, to upholster the ceiling with natural clapboard, but this is a rather expensive pleasure. If there are financial opportunities - use lining.

Windows and doors

You will not be able to make these structures on your own, the best solution is to order plastic options according to the size, and install them yourself. In terms of price, durability and quality, plastic windows and doors satisfy most developers, and we chose this option. We will tell you how to install a plastic window, doors are inserted in the same way.

Step, No.	Description of actions
Step 1.	Clean the perimeter of the window opening from dust.
Step 2	If the window is large and heavy, then it is better to remove the double-glazed windows, if the weight of the structure does not scare you, then you can not disassemble the windows.
Step 3	Insert the box into the window opening, fix it to the wall with special dowels. For buildings made of foam blocks, the number of fixation points should be increased, the blocks do not differ in high rates of physical strength. If it is enough to install two dowels on each side of the box in a tree or brick, then foam blocks require at least four. Before fixing, you need to set the box strictly according to the level. Use various pads and wedges during this process. Replace window sills inside and out immediately.
Step 4	Fill the gaps with mounting foam. Very important: foam should be given only on well-moistened surfaces of the blocks. On dry surfaces, the adhesion coefficient is greatly reduced. Unfortunately, most window installation companies skip this operation - time is the main thing for them, not quality.
Step 5	The next day you need to cut off the excess foam. Noticed gaps - close them with mortar, level the surfaces.

That's all, all further work will be done during the sheathing of external and internal walls.

External wall cladding

Pay attention to the comparative characteristics of materials in terms of thermal conductivity, we believe that additional insulation is not required for a bath. If you think otherwise - no problem, insulate the bath. Tip - insulate the outer walls, it's much easier and cheaper, but the effect is the same. Calculate the total surface area excluding door and window openings. Buy materials: special glue for foam, dowels and large hats, plastic reinforcing mesh, paint or decorative plaster. For insulation, use polystyrene foam with a thickness of five centimeters. How to do it?

Step 1. Thoroughly clean the walls of foam blocks from sand and dust.

Step 2 Installation of beacons. Lighthouses are used during many construction works, do not be "shy" to use them. With their help, not only work is accelerated, but also their quality is significantly improved. As beacons, you need to install foam plates at the ends of the bath; glue is used for installation. Stretch a rope between them and check the distance from it to the wall. This distance should include sheets and glue, if there are inconsistencies - align the wall in problem areas or change the position of the beacons. A specific decision must be made independently, taking into account the size and location of the irregularities.

Step 3 Glue rows of foam plastic along the rope, constantly check their spatial position with a level in all directions and sides. If you have experience with tiles, you can not use ropes, control the position of the sheets with a long, even rail. In window and door openings, the foam is cut off, the cut points are closed with additional elements: special trim and slats.

Step 4 Practice shows that expensive glue can be saved without compromising quality. Apply it in the corners and center only for pre-installation of the foam board, the final fixation is carried out with special dowels after the glue has set, usually the next day. It is the dowels that will hold the insulation.

Step 5 If the surfaces are very uneven - gradually align the rows, the gaps between the plates can be foamed.

Step 6 Fix the boards with dowels, One dowel should hold one corner of the foam board, another dowel should be installed in the center of the board. In total, five dowels are needed on the stove. Some builders try to save money and hold all the corners of four adjacent adjacent foam sheets with one dowel. This method of saving is risky, decide for yourself whether to use it or do everything according to the rules.

Step 7 Reinforcement with plastic mesh. Please note that the thickness of the adhesive must be at least 5 millimeters, otherwise you will not be able to completely hide the mesh. The mesh should be hidden before painting with fading-resistant paints (facade). If decorative plaster is planned in the future, there is no need to recess the mesh.

Interior wall cladding

Before sheathing, it is necessary to make electrical wiring, electrical cables must be protected with metal sleeves. The cross section of the conductors is selected taking into account the maximum load and power reserve. Always make a reserve of at least 3–4 kW, this will allow you to safely use additional electrical household appliances or heaters.

For the steam room, be sure to use natural lining, all other rooms can be finished with any building materials. Consider the most difficult option for wall decoration - natural clapboard.

Step 1. Mark the wall, determine the places where you will fix the vertical slats. The dimensions of the rails are 20–50 mm, the distance between them is approximately 50 centimeters.

Important - special dowels are produced for foam blocks, do not use ordinary ones!

Step 2 The slats must be leveled, if there are large irregularities on the wall, they must be removed. Small irregularities can be eliminated by various supports for rails.

Step 3 Fasten the two extreme rails, pull the thread between them and install all the others along it.

Step 4 Check the distance from the floor to the ceiling at the corners. If there is a difference, then saw off the first lining at the right angle to level the horizontal. It is better to do this at the bottom of the wall, it is less conspicuous there.

Step 5 Using small nails, fasten the lining, drive the nails into the groove at an angle. Make sure that all nails fall into the rail. The length of the nails is approximately 2 cm.

Step 6 Beat the entire room around the perimeter, fix a special wooden corner in the corners to align the cuts. Fasten skirting boards and baguettes (on the floor and ceiling).

It is possible to finish some rooms with sheet plywood, OSB boards or plasterboard. Before starting upholstery work, you need to perform the same set of preparatory work and fastening the supporting frame as for lining.

Install rainwater pipes. This completes the largest and most labor-intensive construction work. You can start installing the stove, shelves for the steam room, various shelves and benches for bath equipment. And then paint or plaster the facade walls with decorative plaster.

In modern conditions, the concept of "Russian bath" has expanded from an ordinary place for ablution into a complex with wide functionality, which includes various types of recreation. In this regard, projects of baths with a terrace and a barbecue have become in demand (photos are presented on the page).

This solution allows you to significantly save space in your backyard or suburban area. A bathhouse with a terrace under one roof is implemented in different projects, which ultimately allows you to get a comfortable outdoor recreation area where you can enjoy food, drinks and socializing.

The relevance of the location of the bath complex

It is customary to call a terrace an extension of an open type, adjacent to the main building. This site has the following features:

• has a reliable roof that protects from possible precipitation;
• to a certain extent protected from the wind on some sides;
• the space has a solid wood or tile floor;
• on this territory there is furniture in the form of benches, chairs, rocking chairs, dining tables.

Popular bath projects with an attic and a terrace include a cooking area on an open fire:

• open grill;
• B-B-Q;
• stationary stone oven, etc.

The fencing of this site in most cases is used in a decorative form and can have a height of about 1 meter from the floor level or close the space from floor to ceiling with a rare decorative lattice with large gaps.

Individual features of projects

Various architectural bureaus offer many options for bath projects with a terrace. Each of them is based on certain requirements regarding the materials used, the location and methods of installation. This is due to the fact that there are 6x4 bath projects with a terrace or a 6x6 bath project with a terrace that require a certain allocated area for them.

To enter the terrace there is a small porch with three steps. The site itself is quite spacious. And on it, a stove with a barbecue or a barbecue area will be located without any problems.

In such a territory you can comfortably accommodate even several guests. This takes into account certain nuances of the location of the open extension:

• The project of a bath with a large terrace and a barbecue may involve the location of an open area along the largest wall of the building or at the end of the building next to the exit from it.

• In some cases, in small areas, the space of the dressing room is sacrificed in bath projects with a relaxation room on the second floor and a terrace next to the building. This approach will also save not only space, but also funds for the materials used.
• The original decorative fence will mark the perimeter of the recreation area under a canopy in bath projects with a large terrace.
• When drawing up a plan of the territory with the installation of a stove or barbecue, it is necessary to provide a reliable chimney so that the combustion products do not create discomfort on the site.
• For the project of a corner bath with a terrace, a barbecue area is allocated a far corner, and smoke is removed through a pipe leading out of the roof.

Terrace decoration

Projects of frame baths with a terrace are often divided into two types according to the way the open area is designed:

• fully open terrace area;
• the presence of dense swinging screens made of fabric;
• the use of sliding structures using glass or transparent polycarbonate.

The possibility provided in the project of one-story baths with a terrace to hermetically close and open the space with the help of window modules makes it possible to use this area almost all year round.

Removable elements made of polycarbonate or glass can be removed in the summer in the pantry to open up space in front of the guests on the terrace.

Using an open stove or barbecue

In those projects of a bathhouse with a kitchen and a terrace where the use of a barbecue or barbecue is supposed to be used, it is necessary to take into account the special conditions of the cooking zones on an open fire.

• Installation of a stationary furnace is often carried out away from the main resting place.
• It is advisable to provide shelter for the cooking area from possible bad weather in the form of precipitation or wind.
• Mobile barbecues should be located in a fireproof place on a flat surface.
• Individual decoration of the stove will emphasize the design of the terrace.
• In cool weather, a stationary stove becomes an additional source of heat for vacationers in an open summer area.

Featured Projects

If there is enough space on the site, it is possible to implement bath projects from logs with a terrace in the form of a small health complex. Such a platform is enough for almost any company from two or three families.

On the territory there is not only a bath with a steam room, but also a relaxation room. There is a terrace along the longitudinal wall. It is open and includes a barbecue oven. This project of a bath house with a terrace assumes the presence of two entrances to the site: from the back and front sides.

The spacious hall is equipped with a pair of spacious wardrobes, which contain some useful bathing equipment and clothes for changing. From this zone there are three further exits:

• to the toilet, where there is a dormer window with natural light;
• in the shower-washing room, after which there is a steam room;
• in the living room, where there are all conditions for a cozy pastime.

This arrangement allows you to properly manage the space and provides all the opportunities for comfortable movement around the bath. The living room and terrace are separated by a huge glass window. It can be done in a panoramic format. This solution will provide more light into the room and visually expand the territory of the terrace.

Convenient seating area

The close location of the outdoor recreation area and the living room will allow you to move between these spaces at any time with a possible deterioration in the weather or its improvement.

Some projects of a bath house with an attic and a terrace provide for the installation of stairs to the second floor from the side of the terrace. This will save space inside the building.

Baths in Rus' have existed since ancient times. And if in the old days the main task of the bath was hygiene procedures and maintaining cleanliness, then in the modern world it is rather a place for a comfortable stay with family and friends, as well as an opportunity to demonstrate their financial viability, because not every Russian can afford his own bath.

Nowadays, baths are built from materials of exceptionally high quality, so that they are comfortable, practical and serve faithfully for many years.

A modern bath is not just a steam room. This is a whole multifunctional complex, which includes everything that can be located in a comfortable house: a steam room itself, a recreation room, a gym or a billiard room, a small pool and an open veranda.

Peculiarities

A spacious terrace is perhaps the biggest dream of any resident of the metropolis who appreciates outdoor recreation in the company of close friends. However, if your cottage is not equipped with a veranda, as is often the case in old private houses and modern standard cottages, then you can compensate for this shortcoming and build a bathhouse in the yard, equipping it with a functional recreation area.

Thanks to this, several tasks can be solved at once:

• the presence of a bath "without leaving home";
• the presence of a terrace, which can be used as the most ordinary gazebo, where you can arrange spiritual gatherings in a pleasant company;
• a practical solution to the problem of organizing friendly or family leisure;
• if necessary, the solution of the ill-fated "housing problem".

Terraces can be equipped with barbecues, grills and barbecues, without which no picnic can do. There are other nice bonuses of such structures - right on the veranda you can fry kebabs and cook other snacks.

In addition, the joint construction of a bathhouse and a terrace allows you to maintain a single architectural style and comply with the concept of landscape design throughout the site. There is no need to connect separate objects with paths, and this greatly increases the total usable area of ​​the land, which can be used as a flower bed, rockery or lawn.

And, of course, combining a bath with a resting place allows you to save on construction work, since at the same time the bath wall simultaneously acts as a veranda wall, and this significantly reduces the consumption of necessary materials.

It should be separately focused on the fact that joining a terrace with a bath is much more difficult than building them at the same time.

If the common foundation was not laid even at the stage of foundation construction, then it is better to refuse the idea of ​​\u200b\u200ba bath + terrace "2 in 1", especially if the soil is heaving. In this case, both parts will shrink differently, which leads to cracking of the walls.

If you are determined to combine two functional buildings, then it is worth considering the basic aspects of this technological process.

It is optimal to build a veranda only after the shrinkage of the building, after that they equip a columnar foundation and erect a building perimeter on it.

To reduce the likelihood of distortions, the terrace can simply not be connected to the main wall bath complex, and mask all the gaps that appear with mounting foam or using sliding fasteners.

It is better to equip the roof separately for both structural elements, and so that water is not poured between the roof of the bath and the covering of the veranda, an L-shaped ebb is equipped. It is placed 2-3 cm above the terrace and mounted to the log log.

Material selection

Most builders claim that the bath should be wooden, and the best material is coniferous wood. This is a very common misconception. The fact is that coniferous trees are characterized by increased resinousness, and this resin begins to emit a pungent odor at elevated temperatures. That is why it is recommended to take coniferous varieties only for the construction of frame boxes, but for finishing interior decoration, preference should be given to linden, alder or oak wood.

Keep in mind that pairs of pine, juniper and cedar have a beneficial effect on the body only in small quantities. When inhaling large doses, significant damage to the respiratory tract can be caused - their passages are clogged, and inhalation / exhalation becomes difficult.

It is equally important to determine the typical form of wood material. Many people use a log in the construction of baths, since such buildings can work effectively in any season in a variety of natural and climatic conditions. Other consumers prefer timber. Such material is more expensive than logs. However, its operational parameters are also higher: the beam is laid faster, but it cracks much less often.

In any case, both types of wood blanks are suitable for building a bath with a terrace, and the final choice is only a matter of personal preferences of the owner of the site.

Gas silicate blocks and foam concrete are well suited for the construction of bathhouses. These are relatively inexpensive materials that effectively solve all the problems associated with the thermal insulation of a room.

The only thing you need to pay special attention to is the equipment for highly effective waterproofing of the walls and their high-quality putty. The air in the steam room is humid, so walls must be reliably protected from the adverse effects of moisture. Nowadays, brick baths are practically not built, although this material is considered the most optimal for finishing the facade of a country house, decorative brick veranda fences also look very stylish.

For those who are looking for original solutions for their site, we can recommend a round bath with a terrace, built using the environmentally friendly clay pot technology. All it takes is a couple of dump trucks of firewood, hay and a big clay machine.

Design and layout

At its core, creating a bath project with a terrace is, in general, a simple task, but in practice it requires the observance and application of a large number of very different rules and principles.

The area of ​​the steam room must be at least 10 square meters. m, and the ceiling height is not lower than 2 m- with this arrangement of the bath, three people can be in the room at the same time without loss of comfort.

For any bath, it is important to have the possibility of natural water runoff, so the subfloor, as a rule, is performed at a certain angle.

When installing a bath complex, it is forbidden to mount cables, lamps and shades; in contact with steam, they can cause an accident. When building such premises, preference should be given to specialized materials. although they are by no means cheap.

Depending on the location of the baths and terraces, there are several types of layouts: open, closed and corner.

open

A mansion with a large open veranda and equipped steam rooms is not only stylish, but also quite comfortable. On the veranda at any time, you can equip a small functional gazebo, put a grill or barbecue grill and cook other dishes for which air access is important.

The terrace often acts as a playground for small children, a place for meeting guests and dancing. It is on the veranda that it is so cozy to read, draw or just relax even in the most inclement weather, since, as a rule, it is reliably protected from wind and sun.

For greater comfort, you can hang curtains, they will protect from the piercing wind and annoying mosquitoes and other stinging insects.

Closed

Today, more and more owners of private houses and cottages prefer the most efficient use of their land plots. The lands, especially those located within the city, in the vast majority of cases are small in size, and the owners at the same time want to build in their yard a bathhouse with a gazebo, and other recreational facilities. This is especially important during the landscape planning stage.

If there is no house on the new site, but its construction is planned for several years, then for a start it is worth building a bathhouse. At first, it can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also to play the role of a summer kitchen, a warehouse and a storage place for garden tools. Subsequently, above the bath and on the sides of it, you can arrange a garage, as well as build living rooms and equip a connected veranda. This type of structure is called closed.

This also includes projects of free-standing bath structures, to which a covered veranda is attached.

It increases the total area of ​​space for recreation and solves a number of problems:

• allows you to use the useful space as an additional place for gatherings with family and friends;
• use of the terrace for comfortable rest outside the bath complex;
• arrangement of a winter garden on the terrace;
• use for the purpose of an additional zone of the hozblok for storing household equipment.

As a rule, panoramic glazing is used in closed terraces, and the glass is made transparent or mosaic.

corner

Corner types of baths with a terrace are quite popular and common. This arrangement is considered a modern trend in garden construction. The design has a unique configuration, takes up little space on the site, harmoniously fits into any landscape design and is combined with other buildings in the yard. Well, besides, such a bath with a veranda is quite spacious inside due to its shape.

Corner modifications are preferred in situations where it is necessary that the bathhouse be as close as possible to the cottage, almost very close - this may be due to the characteristics of the site or the personal wishes of the owner of the house. At the same time, the terrace, which is adjacent to the main building, can have any shape - square or rectangular.

The corner bath is ergonomic. The use of this type of layout creates the conditions for a more logical and beautiful use of the area of ​​​​the site, and also allows you to put in order the areas adjacent to the house.

A distinctive feature of the corner structures is their peculiar shape. In the traditional version, the basic functional area of ​​the room (directly the steam room and shower room) are located perpendicular to the leisure area.

In corner-type buildings, the stove is located in the middle between the steam room and the rest room., thanks to this, the entire space is heated, which is extremely important in the cold winter season.

Corner designs are optimal for small areas. They are located on one of the corners of the local area, take up little space and fit into any landscape composition.

Buildings in the shape of a triangle always look quite stylish and attract attention with their architectural design. It is the corner baths with verandas that are considered the most acceptable in terms of ergonomics, practicality and functionality.

Examples of finished buildings

The choice of a specific project for the construction of a bath with a terrace most often depends on the parameters of the local area.

• Eg, classic version - a project of a typical bath with a size of 6x9 m Ideal for homes with fairly large yards. In such a guest recreation area, not only a family, but also a large group of friends can comfortably fit. In this case, it is planned to build a joint foundation for both zones. Do not stop at one-story buildings. Often, structures are made two-story and a steam room with a veranda is located on the lower one, and a room or a billiard room and a toilet are equipped on the second.
• If the bath is attached close to a residential building, then in this situation it will be harmoniously look project with parameters 5x6 or 6x6 m. The proportions will allow it to fit into the design concept of any type of site. At the same time, the owners not only significantly expand the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house, but also get a cozy place where they can meet friends and relatives in any weather. By the way, this will create additional heating of the walls of the main building, and this is also of no small importance.

• Sauna 4 x 4.5 m with a terrace- one of the typical projects offered by construction companies. A bath of this layout contains three functional rooms: a relaxation area, a steam room with a font. An open veranda is attached to the bathhouse on a separate foundation. Such a project assumes that the entrance to the place of rest is made from the street, and this can be extremely uncomfortable, especially in autumn and winter. To eliminate such a defect, you can make the veranda covered or block off part of the room and convert it into a vestibule.
• Bath project 6x4 with a terrace involves the arrangement of a small vestibule, since such a bath without any alterations can be operated in the cold season. The steam room and the shower room are not combined, but their dimensions are almost identical. This is not always justified in terms of ergonomics. In the shower, as a rule, they wash one at a time. Therefore, it would be more correct to make it a little more compact, but for the steam room it is worth taking more space, since 2-3 people are steamed there for the most part.

• Bath drawing 6 x 5 (with a protruding terrace)- another typical version of the bath with a fenced vestibule. With this layout option, it occupies a small part of the veranda, therefore, in order not to conceal its functional area, part of the veranda is simply designed as an extension, that is, it is “pushed out” beyond the existing building foundation. Sometimes it is increased even more, making out in the form of the letter "G". This allows you to form and equip a spacious area for a good rest for a large or small company at any time of the year. At the same time, a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe gazebo can be fearlessly taken under the grill, barbecue or barbecue installation.
