Options for the construction of baths with verandas

by the body. It is not surprising that today many Russians would like to have it on their plot. After all, traditionally in Russia, the bath was respected and honored, and made it possible not only to steam up, but also to strengthen one's health. Many people have a question, is it possible to build a bath with their own hands, or for this you should definitely turn to professional builders? It turns out that building a wooden or even stone bath with their own hands is quite possible for an ordinary owner who has the basic skills of construction and carpentry.

Features of designing a bath with a veranda

The most common option is a bath from a bar, since wood is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly material that is best suited for this. Inside the bath, the whole space is divided into washing room, steam room and dressing room, but in this case the veranda plays the role of an open rest room, often with a beautiful panoramic view of the surroundings.

If all the space of the veranda is to be glazed with wooden double-glazed windows and to provide heating, then even in extreme cold the room can be used as a living space.

The most optimal size of a bath from a log house is 6x6, which is quite enough to steam in the amount of 4-6 people. When planning to build a bath, you should start with a project in which it is necessary to reflect the dimensions, layout, and determine the specification of materials. Today, many bath projects have been developed from a 6x6 log with a veranda, which may well be taken as a basis by any owner who is going to build a bath on his own. Moreover, no one bothers to change the project, making adjustments to it at their discretion.

Where to build a bath with a veranda

For building a bath, they try to choose a level place, away from other buildings by 6-10 meters, not in a valley where the building can be heated by spring floods. Considering that people will rest on the veranda, it is desirable that from this place a beautiful exterior view of the forest, the mountains, the garden, the flower garden and so on could be opened. If the area is small - 6-8 acres, then usually a bath is built in one of the corners in order to efficiently use all the free space.

It is important to understand that the convenience of its operation in the future depends on the correct location of the bath.

How the extension of the veranda to the bath is performed

If the bath has already been erected, a person may well attach a terrace or veranda to it to get additional space. Having defined the project of a bathhouse with a veranda, the owner proceeds to the direct construction of the building. All work can be divided into the following steps:

1. Marking of markings on the ground with pegs and fishing line.
2. Digging of the foundation( belt or most often columnar / pile).
3. Construction of bath walls with a veranda under one roof from a rounded log / glued or ordinary timber.
4. Installing truss system, roofing of metal tiles.
5. Installation of wooden windows and doors.
6. Bath interior: the installation of a wood-burning stove, sun beds.
7. Processing of wooden structures with special anti-flammable and antibacterial compounds.

It is very difficult to do all the work of building a bath with a veranda yourself, since it will take at least 2 or better 3-4 people to carry the logs. If the owner plans to do everything himself, he should ask his relatives or friends for help. All work should be coordinated in advance with each other, which will save time and effort.

Is it worth it or not to build a bathhouse with a veranda under one roof?

The bathhouses in which the veranda is made under the same roof look great, as this gives the whole structure a complete look. For example, you can see the bath, which has a traditional gable roof with an attic room at the top. It is best to use metal roofing as a roofing material, since it has similar operational properties. By implementing in practice the project of a bathhouse with a veranda under one roof, the owner receives an aesthetically attractive structure, more similar to a summer house.

Bathhouses with a veranda under the same roof are designed initially, because otherwise the extension will have a different roof, an example of which can be seen below. The peculiarity of such an extension is that the attic( or attic) will not be as big as in the case of a common roof.

To make a porch to the bath with your own hands, you will need to fill in a foundation similar to the main structure, after which you must allow the concrete to dry completely( stand for 28 days).Next, proceed to the extension, starting with the installation of vertical bars, performing the role of the frame. Fastening is carried out with the help of angles and screws, but it can also be fastened with the help of grooves.

The thickness of the bars used must be at least 100x100 mm, which will provide sufficient strength to the structure. The tree must be well dried, otherwise the extension can later be "led".The

Veranda can be either open( terrace) or closed, and in the latter case, the owners get an advantage: cold air in the winter time will not penetrate into the bath and force it out.

Advantages and disadvantages of bath houses from different materials

However, if desired, it is possible to make a wooden extension in the stone attic, which is also quite allowed.

When considering which bath to give preference to, you should take into account that the cost of designing and building a stone bath is more expensive than wooden, but in the first case, the owners can experiment with finishing. Wood is an environmentally friendly material that perfectly passes air through the pores, therefore in such a bath the optimum moisture regime is always maintained. The only drawback of the wooden extension is that it must be reliably protected from the aggressive effects of environmental factors such as precipitation, and for this purpose they must be treated with special compounds.
