For most people, going to the bathhouse is not just a ritual of washing, but rest and relaxation. It is for this reason that when designing it, preference is given to multifunctional structures where you can steam, wash, relax or sit at the table with family or friends. The choice of options is huge: these can be bathhouses with an attic and veranda, projects with terraces, swimming pools, recreation areas, etc.

Bathhouse with terrace

Buildings with a terrace are very popular. This is an outdoor area with fencing and flooring connected to the main building. It can be located under a canopy, the roof of a bathhouse, or even be open.

The construction of a bathhouse with a veranda is thoughtful and rational decision, which will not only decorate the appearance of the structure, but will also expand the possibilities of spending time there.

Material for building a bathhouse

Almost any material can be used to build a bathhouse, but wood is most often chosen. Ideal option are coniferous trees because they are more resistant to rot and are easier to process. And if you treat it with modern antifungal and fireproofing agents, the structure will be fully protected from all troubles.

To build a log bathhouse with a veranda, whole tree trunks are used, cut down using a special technology that has been familiar since ancient times. The assembly of the structure is carried out by perpendicular stacking of logs on top of each other. A groove is made on each of them, and notches are cut out at the ends. Baths built using this technology look very attractive if all the logs are calibrated, that is, they have the same diameter.

Timber is also very popular for building a bathhouse. The cost of such projects is much lower, since its production is completely mechanized. To erect a building you just need to cut the timber required length and assemble the bathhouse in accordance with the previously prepared foundation contour. Assembly is carried out by placing the timber on wooden pins.

Bathhouse with terrace and barbecue

Not everyone can afford to build a large structure that, in addition to a room for steaming and washing, can also accommodate a rest room. Therefore, for small areas, a bathhouse with a veranda and barbecue would be an excellent option.

This building is multifunctional, since it provides the owner with a full-fledged recreation area, on which, moreover, it is possible to equip summer kitchen. Due to the fact that the stove will be located practically in the fresh air, there is no need to install a chimney; you can get by with a small pipe.

As for the base on which the heavy stove will be placed, some recommendations will need to be followed. The best option for a foundation for a stove is a strip-monolithic one, and it must be laid completely both under the walls of the bathhouse and where the barbecue equipment will be located. It should be poured to the height of the floor, since later the stove will be laid on it.

If you plan to use a barbecue rather than a stove, then a pile or columnar foundation is quite suitable. It is connected by a frame made of timber with a cross-section of 150*150 mm, on which the flooring is laid. The area where the grill will be located must be made of fire-retardant material so that the process of preparing barbecue and shish kebab is absolutely safe in the bathhouse with a veranda. Designers offer projects of this kind (there are a huge number of photos) most often, and they are all based on a reliable foundation.

The terrace can be covered and have a common roof with the bathhouse. The rafter system in this case rests on racks, which are components of the frame, and fences can also be attached to them. Basically, all bathhouses are built with a veranda under one roof (photo can be seen below), since this is more convenient and economical.

Bathhouse with a terrace made of profiled timber

Projects made from profiled timber are very popular, since this material is processed on a specialized machine and the output is a smooth, shaped surface. Next, the timber is coated with a special product that gives the wood a good and natural shade that does not darken during use. Structures made from this material most often do not require any interior decorative finishing, since there is no need for it.

The fences in the project for a bathhouse made of timber with a veranda are laid from the same material as the main building in combination with decorative slats. It looks very natural and aesthetically pleasing. The extension itself can be common, combining the house and the bathhouse. And if it is also glazed, then a kind of corridor is formed between two buildings, which can be equipped for relaxation or to store accessories for a country holiday.

Another interesting project is a veranda attached to a bathhouse, which resembles summer cafe in the fresh air. If its area allows, then you can also install a billiard table there, which will make your vacation not only pleasant, but also active.

Bathhouse with terrace and relaxation room

If you have financial capabilities and the space of the structure allows, then you can choose a bathhouse design with a veranda and a relaxation room. This way you will get a multifunctional and more practical structure. The terrace is used for its intended purpose most often in the warm season, so the presence of a relaxation room will allow you to fully use the possibilities of such relaxation in any weather.

The lounge provides the following benefits:

Year-round holiday in warmth.

No flying insects.

You can install household appliances in the room ( musical accompaniment, TV, refrigerator, etc.).

Possibility to equip a room for relaxing with friends (mini-bar, bar counter, billiards, etc.).

The rest room must be included in the project before construction begins. The classic version of the bathhouse consists of a steam room, a washing room and a dressing room. The dressing room is an unheated room, which is intended for changing clothes and storing bath accessories.

In modern projects, instead of a dressing room, a rest room is placed, which has a permanent structure and common walls with the main room of the bathhouse. Taking on the functions of a dressing room, this room serves as a relaxing place where you can sit at the table with friends and just have a good time. IN summer period From this room you can go out onto the terrace and enjoy the fresh air after steaming. It is not surprising that this particular project is the most popular.

Two-story bathhouse

If it is possible, but the size of the plot does not allow you to build a building with a rest room and a veranda, then you can consider the option of a bathhouse with an attic and a veranda. Such a structure will require much less space, but in terms of functionality it is in no way inferior to the previous one. This option makes it possible to have an additional room if all the rules of insulation and glazing are followed. A thorough floor covering, waterproofing, pitched roof, but despite all this, such a project is very practical and profitable. You can equip the attic with anything: a billiards room, a bar, a gym, etc.

In addition, you can also equip a living room here when there is nothing on the site except a bathhouse and a shed for storing garden tools. There you can not only relax after gardening work in the summer, but also to stay overnight after the bath in the winter.

The attic is a room under a broken line gable roof located above the main building. The descent from there is carried out along the stairs, the presence of which will add zest to the interior of the bathhouse with an attic and veranda. Projects of such structures require reinforced floors, since they must support the weight of a person.

Two-story bathhouse with an open attic

This building is ideal for large families and those who like to gather companies; in addition, an equipped room on the second floor will help save space land plot. An open, ventilated attic is ideal air cushion between the bathhouse and the roof. If desired, you can equip a balcony and sliding doors there.

Bathhouse with terrace 6 by 6

Most often, those who like to gather are interested in this project. big family, invite guests and not worry that there won’t be enough space for someone. Baths of this size generally have two floors, on the first there is a steam room, shower room, bathroom, dressing room, relaxation room and, of course, a terrace, on the second there is a room for playing billiards and guest rooms. Some owners, in order to save space, combine a dressing room with a relaxation room and then combine the style of this room and the design of the veranda in the bathhouse. The result is a single space.

The dimensions of such a building accommodate a large stove, a full-fledged restroom, and if desired, you can even include a swimming pool in the project.

When planning any bathhouse with a terrace, it is important to consider that access to it should be both from the inside and from the outside. A terrace can be made not only along the wall of the bathhouse, but also as a corridor from the house to it.

Modern technologies do not stand still. Today, the terrace can have several levels, for example, the first serves as a porch for the entrance to the bathhouse, and the second and third go towards the gazebo. In addition, if the customer has the opportunity, then a swimming pool can be installed on the terrace.

Terrace exterior

As mentioned above, it is very important to take care in advance of the entrance to the terrace both from the bathhouse and from the street. The foundation for it must be poured with the same depth as for the main structure, so that winter time there was no deviation between them. In addition, it is recommended to install the terrace on poles rather than attach it to the wall itself. The material of both structures (bathhouse and terrace) should be the same.

In addition to the functional features, it is important to consider the design of the veranda in the bathhouse, as well as what will be located outside it. To decorate the space in front of the terrace, you can make small pond, install figurines next to it and plant plants.

Today, many are trying to install a swimming pool into the flooring of the terrace; this is not only fashionable, but also useful. The advantage of this proximity to the bathhouse is that the pool is covered with a canopy, but at the same time it is still located in the open air. Swimming in it after a steam room is more pleasant and healthier than swimming in one that is located indoors.

Terrace with sliding wall

Not so long ago, bathhouse designs with a sliding glass wall began to appear. In essence, this building is a large veranda, which turns into an open terrace by removing the partition. The walls themselves can be made of plastic, glass, stretched fabric or metal of any color. The sliding wall mechanism can also be selected individually, these can be accordion walls, Japanese sliding walls or removable panels that function according to the type garage doors and are retracted under the ceiling or up from the street side, like a canopy.

In order to equip a terrace according to this principle, you need to choose a project as for a regular terrace, and only then install special doors.

Conclusion

As you can see, the choice of bathhouse designs with a veranda is quite extensive, everyone can choose for themselves suitable option and place it on a suburban area. Each of them has individual characteristics that are important for ensuring quality rest. Therefore, before you start building any type of bathhouse, you should study all the rules fire safety, first of all, this applies to buildings with a terrace, where the installation of a stove or barbecue grill is provided.

Whatever the terrace in size and arrangement, its presence will add completeness to the bathhouse and will serve as decoration suburban area.

The best projects of bathhouses with a veranda

Buildings with a terrace are very popular. This is an outdoor area with fencing and flooring connected to the main building.

Bathhouse with a terrace: thinking about the project and choosing material for construction

Washing in your own bathhouse cannot be classified as a banal hygiene procedure. This is a true pleasure, which is accompanied by a pleasant feast in the company of friends and leisurely conversation. Therefore, when planning to build a small bathhouse on your site, do not miss the chance to make it truly comfortable and convenient.

In the warm season, after a hot steam room, you want to go out into the fresh air, settle into a soft chair and freeze in sweet languor.

Your holiday will not be overshadowed by the vagaries of the weather if a bathhouse with a terrace under one roof is built on the site.

What should its layout be in order to water treatments optimally combined with rest, board games and cooking homemade dishes, we will look in more detail.

Bath layout options

It is advantageous to build a terrace (veranda) not as a separate structure, but under the same roof as a bathhouse. Therefore, at least one size (length or width) must be the same. The easiest way to implement this idea is as follows: the gable roof of the bathhouse on one side rests on the main wall, and the other rests on the racks (columns) of the terrace.

Second step - definition usable area terraces. It directly depends on the number of people visiting the bathhouse at the same time. For a family of 4 people, 8 m2 is enough for comfortable seating at the table. If the company is more representative (6-8 people), then include at least 14 m2 in the project. Having determined the area of ​​the veranda, you can finally decide on which side of the bathhouse it is best located.

A small terrace is optimally arranged along the narrow end wall. If you want to make a more spacious room, then it is better to make an open canopy along the wide side of the bathhouse.

Another interesting option layout - placing a terrace between the bathhouse and the residential building. This way, you won't have to look for a place to cook or wait for the rain to end. Only in this case is it better to attach a bathhouse with a veranda to the blind side of the house so that the smoke from the heater chimney (when using solid fuel) did not get into the windows of residential premises.

When considering the design of a bathhouse with a terrace in terms of its internal layout, you need to proceed from the external dimensions of the structure. It is within this framework that you will have to “fit” all the rooms: dressing room, bathroom, shower, steam room, relaxation room and terrace. You can save useful space by abandoning the rest room and transferring its functions to the veranda. However, in this case, during the cold season you will have nowhere to relax after washing in the bathhouse. Therefore, reserve at least 6-7 m2 for it.

If your plans do not include the construction of a full-size bathhouse measuring 6 by 6 meters as in the figure above, then you can do it differently: remove the rest room from the layout, glaze the terrace and make a barbecue oven in it.

For the autumn and spring seasons, the heat from such a fireplace will be enough to create a comfortable temperature. In this case, the external dimensions of the bathhouse with a veranda can be reduced to a minimum (4 by 4 meters), without losing in comfort and ease of use.

Options for adding rooms

In addition to the considered solutions with a relaxation room, a glassed-in veranda with a barbecue, the idea of ​​adding an attic to the bathhouse deserves attention. It significantly expands the usable area and makes it possible to equip a guest room, a small fireplace room or a billiard room under one roof.

To implement such a profitable idea, you need to provide a place to install a narrow and not too steep staircase. It's not difficult to find. It is enough to slightly increase the area of ​​the hallway (dressing room).

On the second floor near the bathhouse you can design a spacious balcony. To do this, the attic roof needs to be extended so that it covers the veranda.

The slope of the roof will take away part of the usable area from the second floor. Despite this, there will be enough space in the attic for a recreation room with a billiard table. If desired, you can install a light open fireplace with an exhaust hood.

Photos of different bath options

Having gained an idea of ​​the external layout and internal layout of bathhouses with terraces, you should look at their visual embodiment. This will help us more accurately determine the material for the new building.

In photo No. 1 we see a classic bathhouse made of rounded logs, covered with a gable roof made of metal tiles. The roof covers not only the bathhouse, but also the terrace and balcony of the second floor.

The beautiful knitting of crowns serves as the main decoration of the facade. The only remark is the irrational use of attic space. Gable roof takes up a lot of usable space from the second level premises. In this regard, a broken roof is more profitable.

Photo No. 2 shows an inexpensive and compact sauna made of timber with a terrace. Nothing superfluous is the life credo of the owner of such a structure. A shallow foundation is inexpensive and quite sufficient for installing walls made of wooden beam. Under the terrace, a strip foundation is not needed at all. Three concrete columns for the roof support posts and a timber frame are the most reasonable solution.

You don’t have to cover the veranda with a common roof with the bathhouse, but protect it with an ordinary flat canopy. Photo No. 3 shows the appearance of a structure measuring 6 by 4 meters with a veranda located along the long wall. As we can see, there is enough space for a dining table and a small barbecue oven.

When planning to build a bathhouse with a veranda, you don’t have to invent complex options, but simply combine it with a regular one garden gazebo, as in photo No. 4.

A polycarbonate roof will not only reliably protect you from rain, but will also create pleasant partial shade.

The bathhouse can become the central structure for the entire recreation area of ​​a country estate. In this case, the terrace should be truly spacious and comfortable. To do this, it should be made as wide as possible or extended by unfolding it in the shape of the letter “L”.

In the far corner of the large log shed, a summer stove with a compartment for frying kebabs and steaks is conveniently located.

Construction materials

Wood is the most popular material for constructing a bathhouse with a terrace. Moreover, this can be not only an expensive profiled beam, but also an affordable rounded log.

Excellent bath characteristics are also achievable in an inexpensive frame structure, provided that ecowool and not polystyrene foam are used as insulation.

Foam block and aerated concrete are well suited for bathhouse construction. These materials effectively solve the problem of insulation and do not require expensive finishing. An important condition for the durability of such a structure is good protection of the walls from moisture (deeply penetrating waterproofing and high-quality putty).

Brick is almost never used as the main material for walls today. But it is indispensable for the front decoration of the facade and looks good as a decorative fence for the terrace.

A lover of the original can be advised to build round sauna with a terrace using the “claystone” technology. Two dump trucks of firewood, one clay truck and a hay cart are all the materials needed to build a unique and environmentally flawless structure.

Options for bathhouses with a terrace, layout examples and visual photos. Materials for the construction of a bathhouse.

Baths with a terrace: projects, photos, DIY terrace construction

A terrace is a platform with decking, which is built on a prepared foundation. There are many types and varieties of this architectural addition:

• It can be located near the house, or it can be completely unconnected with it, or connected by a path.
• Maybe without a roof - then they say that it is open. Or with a roof - covered.
• May or may not have walls. The walls can be solid or in the form of a fence.
• There are single or multi-level ones.

There are a lot of types of terraces: both in shape, and in the number of levels, and in materials

If we talk about terraces that are adjacent to the house, then they can be side and front, and can cover one, two, three or four sides. Sometimes they have an irregular shape. They can be under the same roof with the main building or have their own.

If you consider that very different materials can be used in manufacturing, it is clear that there are simply countless variations.

Projects of bathhouses made of timber with a terrace

Building a terrace in front of the bathhouse or next to it is not so difficult. In general, most often the difficulty is caused by the lack of a project. If funds allow, it is better to order it, describing in detail what and how you imagine, what you want to achieve, and what things you absolutely do not like. If it is impossible to order the production of a personal project, there is an option to find one of the ready-made ones and slightly adjust it to suit your own needs. Here are several projects of bathhouses with different terraces that are easy to make with your own hands.

Bathhouse 4 x 4.5 with terrace

According to the project, the bathhouse consists of three rooms, with a terrace attached to it on a separate disconnected foundation (read about one of the options for its construction below). There are three rooms in the bathhouse building:

Bathhouse projects 4 + for 4 with a terrace on a separate columnar foundation

The parameters of the premises can be changed by moving the partition separating the rest room. If the bathhouse is being built for a dry-air sauna, a large volume of the steam room is not needed: calculate the number of people who should fit in one session, then calculate the area of ​​the shelves for their comfortable arrangement: for “sitting” places you can take 1-1.2 meters per person, “lying” - 2.1-1.2 m. Width of shelves - 0.7-0.9 m. Calculate the area of ​​the shelves, add space for the stove and its fence and some area for free movement. Get the required area.

The calculation of the area of ​​the steam room in a Russian bathhouse is similar, but if there is no need to have “lying down” places in a sauna - they usually only sit there, then in a Russian steam room they are required. Another difference is that the fencing of the sauna stove is wooden structure, which prevents you from touching the hot walls. In a Russian steam room, if they install a metal stove, then they must cover it with a brick screen, and these are completely different dimensions. Therefore, a larger area needs to be allocated.

This is an example of what the implementation of the project looks like

Using such a bathhouse in winter will not be comfortable: the entrance to the relaxation room is directly from the street and cold air will be a clear hindrance. To eliminate this drawback, you can either fence off part of the rest room as a vestibule, or make part of the veranda closed. The second option looks preferable due to the small size of the premises. But then you need to either make an entrance from the other side, or move the doors.

On choosing a wood-burning stove for a bath: for this project you will need a compact option, perhaps tall and narrow, but you can try to fit just a small one in size. The volume will be quite small, so low power should be enough. This project includes a stove that is heated from the rest room. At the same time, it will also heat it, so you need some power reserve, do not forget about this (if you plan to visit the bathhouse in winter). For example, “Heat “Malyutka”, Varvara stoves - models “Palenitsa” and “Mini”, or “Compact”, “Osa”, “Shilka” and “Biryusa” from Termofor.

Project of a 4 by 6 bathhouse with a terrace

This option for planning a small bathhouse immediately provides for the allocation of a small vestibule, so this bathhouse is suitable for winter use without modifications. The steam room and sink are separate and have almost the same dimensions, which is not always justified. If they will only use the shower in the washing room, then it can be made a little more compact by blocking off more space for a steam room (for a Russian bath). You can also install a sprinkler in the shower. If the ceiling height allows, it is mounted above the shower “gander”; if not, on the side.

Drawing of a 6 by 5 bath (with a protruding terrace)

This timber bathhouse project also has a fenced-off closed vestibule. It occupies part of the terrace, but in order not to reduce its area, it was “pushed” beyond the building’s foundation. If desired, you can further increase it by making it in the shape of the letter “G”. You will get a spacious area for summer recreation. It will be possible to fence off a part of it for installing a barbecue (there are several projects here).

Bathhouse 4 x 5 with adjacent terrace

Bathhouse project 6 by 6 with an open terrace

This layout option requires the same number of rooms. It’s just that their area has become larger: now the dimensions allow it. In this option, you can already fence off a small room for a locker room. And for winter use you will need to organize a vestibule somewhere.

Project of a 6 by 6 bathhouse with a terrace

If there is still an opportunity to add a little dimensions, you can already “fit in” the bathroom. It will turn out to be a guest one house-bath, especially if you do two-story bathhouse. One of the options, however, on the same floor, is located in the photo below.

Large bathhouse-guest house with terrace

What materials are they built from?

To cover the terrace, you can use any building material: wood, brick, building blocks, natural or artificial stone, paving, ceramic, porcelain tiles, natural or artificial stone, etc.

Despite the fact that outdoor wood is not the easiest material to use, decks are most often made of wood. Using pine and spruce is a constant headache: maintenance and repairs need to be done very often. Harder wood is more expensive, but lasts longer and is less of a hassle.

Near the brick bathhouse, a terrace with a brick fence looks good

Near the brick bathhouse, a terrace with a fence also made of brick looks good; in this case, it is rational to lay out the terrace itself with tiles or stone. A much more practical option. However, for such sites it will be necessary to pour a concrete slab.

If your soil is dry and not prone to heaving, it will be enough to fill it with crushed stone and sand. It will be possible to lay paving slabs. It comes in different shapes and colors, so it can also look more than interesting.

The terrace with laid paving slabs looks very good. It can be combined with a blind area around the house. In this case, you will kill two birds with one stone.

How to make a wooden terrace on a pile foundation

The most problematic option is wood. If you plan to use it, then you need to choose from varieties that tolerate being outdoors well. It also requires treatment with protective impregnations, varnishing or painting.

Preparing piles

To create normal operating conditions for wooden terraces, it is necessary to think through the design so that water does not accumulate under the structure. In general, it is advisable to make the platform made of wood raised above the ground level so that the boards below are well blown and ventilated. Therefore, most often a pile or columnar foundation is made for such structures. Moreover, the fertile layer under the terrace is removed, the remaining soil is leveled and compacted, and then covered with crushed stone and also compacted. This is done to prevent the vegetation from rotting and spreading “odors” and spores.

The installation step of the posts is at least 1-1.5 meters - this way the boards will not sag. Material of manufacture - any. You can drive asbestos or iron pipes, pour concrete into them. This is a very durable, but not cheap option.

Roofing felt piles

Much less money (but more labor) will require piles with roofing felt formwork.

This is how you can make permanent formwork for piles from roofing felt

Ruberoid is rolled into round columns in two or three layers. Diameter - 20-22 cm, height - about 1 meter (70 cm is recessed in the ground, 30 cm is on top). This is for soils with an average tendency to heave. In order not to have to worry about measuring the diameter of this formwork, you can use a pattern. If you find a water bottle of a suitable diameter (these are nine-liter containers), the work will be simple: screw on the roofing material, secure it with tape, and pull out the “pattern” by the handle.

It is more convenient to fasten with tape, as usual. It just doesn’t want to stick to the powder. To ensure adhesion, remove the crumbs in the right places with a brush and wipe the cleaned area with white spirit. Once dry, the hold is excellent. This is how you cook required amount columns.

Using a drill, make the required number of recesses, slightly larger in diameter than the molded posts and 25 cm deeper. These 25 cm are used to construct the pillow: they are covered with a 15 cm layer of crushed stone and compacted. Sand is added, which is also compacted.

Then formwork is installed in the prepared pits. All columns must be leveled. This can be done using two rods driven along the edges of the planned terrace and a cord stretched between them. Its verticality can be checked with a building level, adjusting the height of the rods if necessary. The second way is to set the height of the bars using a hydraulic level (you can also use a laser level, but it is difficult to work with it outside - the beam is visible only in the evening or in cloudy weather). After fiddling with positioning the cord, you will then quickly bring all the columns in one row to the same height. Repeat the procedure in the following.

How to attach support pillars to concrete piles - one of the options

The columns also need to be placed vertically. You can't do without a plumb line here. It’s a simple tool, but nothing better has been invented yet.

Next, to increase the strength, it is advisable to insert several bars of reinforcement inside - 2-3 per column. You can use smooth rods with a diameter of 8-10 mm. Then pour concrete inside. It needs to be compacted, since it is not worth knocking on the roofing felt; you will need to take a long metal rod and bayonet it (pierce it through and pull it a little from side to side). As a result of such actions, the concrete level will become a little lower - air will escape, you will have to add a little. Everything becomes easier if you have a submersible hand or mobile concrete vibrator. When the solution has set, you can begin further work.

Brick pillars

On heaving soils, the posts can simply be squeezed out, causing the terrace to slide down. What is needed here is a wider platform that will stabilize the situation. For such a foundation, small pits are dug, measuring 50*50 or 60*60 cm. The soil is compacted in them, crushed stone is poured, it is also compacted, and formwork is installed from boards 20-25 cm high.

The foundation for the terrace can be made of brick pillars

Several pieces of reinforcement are laid on the halves of the bricks - lengthwise and crosswise - to form a cage (2-3 rods each). A pipe is inserted into the middle (verticality is checked). All this is filled with concrete (maybe with crushed stone). Thickness - 20 cm.

After the mortar has set, a brick column is made around the pipe. The height is set just below the required flooring height - leaving room for the bottom trim.

How to make a bottom harness

There are two installation options support pillars:

• first, logs are attached to the columns, and then support pillars are attached to the logs;
• when pouring concrete, galvanized embedded plates are inserted into the columns, then the bars of the posts are attached to them (put twice folded roofing material under the posts, treat the ends with impregnation, although it is better to tar or paint).

Another option for a foundation for a terrace - ready-made concrete blocks. You just need to dig the appropriate pit for each column, make gravel backfill, place a half-block block, and a rectangular block on top of the solution

The first method is used most often, but the second also occurs. It requires a little less cost, but there will be more fuss with laying the logs.

When making the lower trim, a beam of 100*75 mm, 75*75 mm or wider is used - it depends on the size of the terrace and the load on it. They are treated with antibacterial impregnations and placed on concrete pillar, covered with a layer of waterproofing (lay twice folded roofing material or coat with mastic or liquid waterproofing).

The beams cost a lot, but you can cheat by making a spliced ​​beam from boards. It is not suitable for support pillars - the appearance is not the same, but for joists it is even better, since it has increased strength. How to make timber from boards:

• Take an edged board according to the width equal in length side of the timber, at least 25 mm thick.
• The number of boards to be spliced ​​is determined based on the required thickness of the timber. If you need timber 75 mm thick, then there will be three boards.
• They are connected with self-tapping screws in increments of 10-15 cm (the length of the self-tapping screw is slightly shorter than the width of all the boards being joined). When connecting, the fasteners are placed in a checkerboard pattern.
• When creating long beams, boards can be spliced. But at the same time, you need to ensure that the joint is at least half a meter away from the joint.
• Such spliced ​​bars are laid on the edge. Only in this state do they have high strength (even stronger than solid timber).

What does a terrace frame look like?

Regardless of the chosen method, all wooden elements must be impregnated with protective and antifungal compounds. To improve their appearance and extend their service life, they are coated with varnish. It is better to use compositions for outdoor work, and if we talk about varnishes, then yacht varnish is preferable - it is well adapted to a humid environment and protects the wood from the effects of salts.

It is possible to create a frame made of metal. You can use a powerful corner or a square pipe. This base is more reliable and durable. It is well primed, then carefully painted and will serve for decades. To prevent the board from being damaged upon contact with metal, a waterproofing material - such as TechnoNIKOL, etc. - is glued to the metal. When attaching the flooring, you will have to drill holes - it is unlikely that you will be able to screw in the screws directly.

The frame can be welded from metal. Such a terrace will be much more repairable

After making and securing the strapping, you can begin making the flooring. An edged board is usually used. There is a special terrace board - it has not a flat, but a wavy front surface, but it is more often laid around fonts or pools built on the terrace. The wavy surface, even when wet, does not allow slipping, and if you make a slight slope, the water will quickly drain without lingering on the flooring.

The thickness of the board, as for the floor, is rarely thinner than 20 mm, although its thickness depends on the distance between the piles. At a distance of 1.5 meters, the thickness of the board is 25 mm, then it will not sag when walking.

Boards for plank flooring need to be of decent thickness. To make them last longer, they are treated with antiseptics and varnished or painted.

Tile terrace

If you decide to make a platform not from wood, but from tiles, you can go in several ways. It all depends on how you imagine your terrace.

If you are satisfied with paving slabs as a covering, the technology can be greatly simplified. The process is very similar to installing a blind area around a house. The technology is similar, you can use the same techniques.

Simple option

The simplest, but very reliable and effective option is using profiled membranes and geotextiles. In this case, the soil is removed to the width of the future terrace, the depth is small - 20-25 cm is enough. If there is a roof on top, the site can be made level; if a roof is not provided, a slope of 3-5 cm is formed for every meter (from the foundation).

If precipitation in the region is heavy and subsoil water is close, it is better to lay a drainage pipe along the edge of the terrace. This is a special corrugated pipe with holes. A small recess is dug for it (about half the diameter), where it is placed. The end of the drainage pipe is led into a drainage well or into the sewer system.

One of the options for constructing a terrace (with drainage pipe under the tiles)

To prevent plants from sprouting under the coating, treatment is carried out special chemistry. After processing, a profiled membrane is spread over the entire width. If you are laying drainage, the edge of the membrane should fit into the dug groove, reaching its opposite edge. A drainage pipe is placed on the membrane. Now all the moisture will roll down the film and get into it.

On the other hand, near the house, a membrane of 10-15 cm is placed on the wall. They fix it there. A layer of geotextile is rolled out on top. He is also lifted onto the wall. Both films can be secured with a clamping bar. The second edge of the geotextile ends above the drainage pipe (it is not fixed).

Now pour a layer of crushed stone of large and medium fractions. A curb stone is installed along the edge of the site (not above the drainage pipe, but closer to the house). The crushed stone is compacted well (preferably with a vibrating plate, but do not compact it over the pipe with a plate). A layer of sand is poured on top, leveled, spilled with water and compacted. You can already lay tiles on it.

What would such a terrace look like?

The thickness of the layers is 10-15 cm. The depth of the pit for the terrace is selected so that the tiles are laid at the required height. It’s difficult to say exactly, since the tiles can be different thicknesses. Based on the purchased coating, calculate the required depth of the pit around the house.

One “but”: the described method is suitable for the case when the foundation and base are insulated. If there is no insulation, half the sand is poured onto the crushed stone, slabs of extruded polystyrene foam are laid out, then sand is added, and then the tiles are laid on it. At the same time, the foundation of the house is also covered with expanded polystyrene slabs to the entire depth of the dug pit.

Bathhouse projects with a terrace: photos, drawings, foundations, do-it-yourself construction features

In the sauna we not only take a steam bath, but also relax and chat with friends. In the summer, these gatherings are more pleasant to endure with fresh air, so terraces are added to the bathhouses.

Bathhouse projects with veranda and terrace

Own bathhouse in a suburban area today you won’t surprise anyone. Modern projects simply amaze the imagination - so compactly and conveniently, several rooms can be housed under one roof. The designs of bathhouses with a terrace or attic are very original, attached veranda, gazebo, swimming pool and other beautiful and functional buildings. A house surrounded by additional buildings looks more solid, and the site is simply transformed. Now you can not only live here, but also receive guests in the fresh air, recuperate in the Russian bathhouse, play billiards - and all this under one roof!

Bathhouse with attached gazebo

Often in dachas or suburban areas there are gazebos. These structures are usually located near the house and are intended for a pleasant summer holiday. A house with a gazebo is functional - there you can cook shashlik or barbecue, drink tea, and enjoy summer evenings.

But what to do when both the house and the bathhouse have already been built? If the gazebo was not included in the project, it can be attached to existing structures. Gazebos attached to a bathhouse or house are very convenient. Such structures are called terraces, they are very similar to a veranda. Unlike verandas, terraces are most often open and do not have walls.

An extension with a recreation room is quite simple. Terraces are usually made of timber or logs. For its construction, a few supports and a roof are enough. The roof over the rest room can be made flat or pitched. For its manufacture, the same roofing material is used that covers a bathhouse or house.

Bathhouse project with a gazebo

If a house or bathhouse is at the design stage, it is better to immediately include a gazebo or terrace in the project. These structures are indispensable for private housing construction. A bathhouse with a gazebo is convenient because you can neglect the rest room. When there is a terrace, the need for this room simply disappears. It is on the terrace that you can drink tea, relax after the bath, and finally watch TV.

IN winter period Of course, you can’t sit on the open terrace after a hot bath. But you can build a bathhouse with a veranda. This is a closed room, insulated and glazed. If you install a barbecue on the veranda, its heat will be enough to heat a small room in the cold season.

Before construction, it is better to choose a bathhouse project with a gazebo or terrace under one roof. This design is much easier to implement, requires less building materials, and therefore reduces material costs for a bathhouse with a gazebo.

A bathhouse with a relaxation room under one roof is also convenient because the terrace is reliably protected from precipitation. Here you can install a large table, sun loungers, armchairs and everything you need for a good rest.

Often a swimming pool is installed in a bathhouse with a gazebo. The font can be placed on the terrace level with the floor. A swimming pool under one roof with a sauna is great! After all, diving into cool water after a hot bath is an unforgettable pleasure.

It is better to make a swimming pool under the same roof as a bathhouse also because the roof will protect the water from direct sunlight, leaves and other debris.

Features of construction of a gazebo

If a terrace is planned for the project, then the foundation for it must be laid together with the main one intended for the bathhouse. This will ensure the building's strength and durability.

An already rebuilt house or bathhouse can also be equipped with a veranda; in this case, it is installed on a lightweight strip foundation. For a small terrace, a pile base is quite suitable - several supports in the form of pillars.

The construction of a bathhouse and a gazebo under one roof eliminates the problems associated with joining two roofs. A solid roof provides better protection from precipitation and cold.

The gazebo, bathhouse and house must be designed in the same style and fit harmoniously into the landscape design of the site. Baths are most often built from wood: profiled timber, rounded logs, “wild” (untreated) wood. Used for roofing soft tiles, slate, metal profile. Such wooden bathhouses and gazebos need matching ones - a canopy on wooden posts of round or square section is perfect.

For a stone bathhouse you need a stone gazebo. In this case, the columns for the terrace are made of brick, metal pipes, decorated with wild stones or tiles.

If there is a barbecue in the gazebo, you need to think about a separate foundation for it. A stone stove is a fairly heavy structure, and also a very fire hazard. In addition to the foundation, you will have to take care of the chimney pipe and ventilation system. To prevent smoke from the barbecue from entering the house and bathhouse, it must be removed in a timely manner using electric hoods.

Another nuance for bathhouses with a veranda and barbecue is that to prevent smoke from entering the house or bathhouse through open windows, it is better to attach the terrace to a blank wall that does not have windows.

Bathhouse with attic

A house or bathhouse with an attic is a sign of luxury. A two-story building with a rest room requires more serious material investments, but by building a bathhouse with an attic, you can significantly save usable space. Even on a small plot of land, a bathhouse, rest room, and shower will fit perfectly. On the second floor you can place a guest bedroom, a billiard room and any other room.

Bathhouse designs with an attic and terrace are very economical and functional. Such structures often have hanging balconies, which are also used as small verandas. On the lower terrace you can put a large table or build a swimming pool. It’s good to build all this under one roof - then both the balcony and the main terrace will be protected from rain and snow.

When building a bathhouse with an attic, you need to take into account the weight of the future building. In order for a two-story building to stand securely on the ground, it needs a solid foundation. The base for the bathhouse is well buried, reinforced and filled with a continuous layer of concrete.

The roof for a bathhouse with an attic and a veranda can have a pitched structure. But in this case, there may not be enough space on the second floor. However, it is quite enough for a billiard room or a recreation room. But for bedrooms and living rooms you will need more space - in this case, it is better to make the roof a broken one with a complex shape.

Combining a bathhouse with a house and veranda

Combined buildings are considered the most compact. So, even on a small plot of land, a house, a bathhouse, and even a terrace with a swimming pool can easily fit.

To bring this idea to life, you can use a corner project. According to this plan, the house and the bathhouse are located on opposite sides, and they are connected by a terrace.

The veranda can be closed, then it will be convenient to use it for transition from warm home in a hot bath. When it's cold and damp outside, you don't really want to leave the house again. And if you install a barbecue, fireplace or small pool on the veranda, then this place will become the most beloved for all household members.

An open terrace in corner structures also has its advantages. For such a rest room you can come up with original finish, put sun loungers here for sunbathing or set up a small tea table. All the delights of an open terrace are felt in the summer, because it is so nice to sit outdoors on a warm summer evening and admire the stars or the sunset.

The same corner structure can be supplemented with an attic, then the usable area will double. You can build more living rooms, make a spacious hall on the second floor, or supplement an ordinary bathhouse with a dry Finnish sauna.

Conclusion

A bathhouse with an attic, a gazebo, a terrace or a regular rest room - the design is not so important. The main thing is that the inhabitants country house will be able to relax after difficult everyday life and heal during the cold season by taking a steam bath. And additional buildings under one roof simply add comfort, and, of course, beauty and status. If funds do not yet allow you to build a complex structure, you can limit yourself to a bathhouse, and then, if possible, supplement it with a veranda, swimming pool or attic.

Bathhouse project with veranda

Designs of a bathhouse with a veranda and terrace Having your own bathhouse on a country site today will not surprise anyone. Modern projects simply amaze the imagination - so compact and convenient to use

A visit to the bathhouse is often perceived as one of the mandatory procedures when staying outside the city. These buildings help you take a break from the bustle of the city, relieve stress, and get an energy boost. If the bathhouse has a plunge pool or a small pool, this will significantly increase the positive health effects.

The bathhouse can stand alone or be part of residential building.

Terraces, as a rule, are attached to one of the walls of a bathhouse building, usually where the entrance to the building is located. The entire complex has a common foundation and a single roof structure.

Installation of the terrace allows you to use this extension both separately and in combination with bath procedures:

• on the terrace you can recover after visiting the steam room;
• it is possible, subject to the placement of appropriate equipment, to prepare food;
• at the table on the terrace it will be convenient to spend time with family or friends over a cup of tea (on summer days it is much more pleasant to be in nature than in a stuffy room);
• in warm weather you can not only relax, but also sleep in the open air;
• a beautiful terrace also serves as a decoration for the bathhouse.

Can be installed in buildings of any configuration. It is an excellent replacement for a free-standing gazebo. What is important is that you do not have to allocate a plot of land for the construction of a separate building. In addition, by installing a terrace near the bathhouse, you can easily maintain a unified architectural style of the entire building.

What a bathhouse could be like

Construction of a bathhouse is a responsible and costly undertaking. Such a building is installed on a reliable foundation; in addition, it is important to think through the arrangement of the necessary communications, take into account sanitary and environmental standards, and pay attention to the fire safety of the building. When starting to build a building, you must:

• choose a suitable location;
• select the appropriate material;
• make drawings;
• decide on the performers;
• buy everything you need.

When choosing a location, you must also be guided by current regulations regulating the minimum distances from various objects.

Table. Requirements for the location of the bathhouse.

In addition, you cannot build a structure for collecting wastewater from a bathhouse complex closer than 4 meters from the border with neighbors.

Prices for various types of timber

• lowlands and areas of flooding during spring floods are not the best solution for choosing a site for a building;
• the best area for building a bathhouse is where groundwater lie as deep as possible;
• the building should not be visible to strangers, it should also be protected from drafts;
• the construction of the foundation should not be interfered with by utilities.

Important! A frivolous attitude to choosing a place to install a bath complex is fraught not only with your own inconveniences, but also with troubles with neighbors, as well as with inspection organizations. If the standards are not followed, the building may be required to be demolished, and penalties are also possible.

Before starting construction, it is recommended to conduct geological exploration in order to select the correct foundation design. It depends both on the type of soil and on the type of building itself. In some situations, you can limit yourself to a columnar foundation; more often you have to pour a strip foundation. If you want to start construction immediately, without waiting for the concrete to gain strength, it is best to choose a pile structure.

Having decided on the location of the building, you can begin to think about its structure. It is important to pay attention to all the nuances:

• dimensions of the building;
• appearance;
• planning;
• types of equipment, furniture, etc.

Several points are of great importance when building a bathhouse.

1. Ceiling height, comfortable for staying in the bathhouse - at least 200 cm, size doorways: 180 x 80 cm.
2. It is best to orient the entrance to the south side, where there will be less snowdrifts in winter (if the bathhouse is not used in winter, this does not matter), and the windows are to the west.
3. For internal lining Do not use wood that is highly resinous. Aspen, poplar or alder are suitable. They conduct heat poorly and have decent moisture resistance.

It is good if there is a sewerage system on the site. Otherwise, you will have to prepare a structure for collecting wastewater and filtering it. The ventilation of the room and the chimney damper system must be thought out.

It is important that the erected building fits harmoniously into the existing landscape design.

What is usually placed in the bathhouse

The functionality of the bath complex may be different. The standard layout of a bathhouse includes a steam room, shower, toilet and relaxation room.

The size of the steam room for comfortable accommodation of several people is 6 square meters. m. Shelves must be of such a size and placement that you can sit or lie on them without experiencing inconvenience.

Could be brick, which is the best option to obtain light steam, or metal, which does not require much time to warm up, but the steam from it is characterized by increased hardness. Install electric or traditional, wood-burning models.

Important! Coal or other hydrocarbons should not be used to light the stove, as the smell from them will not bring pleasure to those present.

If the size of the building allows, installing a compact pool would be a good solution. Taking a dip in cool water after a steam room is very good for your health.

To expand the possibilities for organizing leisure time, a good option is to place a billiard room. This opportunity usually arises when a second floor, or at least an attic, is installed above the bathhouse complex. In this case, you can more intelligently use the territory of a suburban area without taking up useful free space.

Construction of a building

Building a bathhouse is not a long process. Therefore, this structure can be installed first and live there while the construction of the main residential building is underway. In addition, everything necessary for living can be provided immediately: small kitchen, sleeping places and a bathroom.

The terrace is usually made open, limiting the perimeter with only a small fence. However, you can completely isolate it by installing, for example, glazing. Interesting solution when installing a terrace, a sliding glass wall allows you to combine the living room with the terrace.

A barbecue on the terrace will allow you to concentrate all the necessary elements of a comfortable stay in one place.

Stages of work

Step 1. Site preparation.

Step 2. Construction of a foundation (its type is determined by the type of soil, load, time allotted for the work and financial capabilities), which can be monolithic, columnar, strip or pile.

Step 3. Construction of a bathhouse frame with a terrace.

Step 4. Installation of roof structure.

Step 5. Cladding of the building and its insulation.

Step 6. Floor installation.

Step 7 Installation of the stove and chimney (it is not needed for the electric model).

Step 8 Interior decoration.

Step 9 Conducting communications.

The most important question that needs to be resolved when starting work is what to build the bathhouse from, as well as the terrace for it. In addition, the purpose of the building imposes some additional requirements for both construction and finishing.

Materials from which a bathhouse and terrace can be made

The extension must fit harmoniously into the overall architectural ensemble. Often it is made from the same building material as the bathhouse itself. Or from a design that matches it. The choice may be influenced by: the dimensions of the future building, the place intended for its installation, the material aspect.

The material must provide a good microclimate in the premises. It requires high resistance to temperature changes and high humidity levels. The environmental aspect must also be taken into account. No harmful substances should be released into the atmosphere under the influence of steam.

Most often, baths are built from wood. These can be logs or timber; frame structures in which wood is combined with other types of materials are also popular. But when using wood, it is necessary to pay attention to its treatment against the influence of climatic factors, and also, using special impregnations, to increase the resistance of the structure to fire.

Ceramic brick remains popular.

Not so long ago, products made from various types of concrete appeared: gas, expanded clay, slag, and foam blocks are also actively used today in the construction of bathhouse complexes. All of them have both advantages and disadvantages, which should be taken into account when drawing up a project.

If you want to build a bath complex on your site, you can make a construction project yourself or use the ready-made solutions offered.

One-story bathhouse with terrace

A fairly simple project, but it takes into account all the moments necessary for relaxation in this building.

The bathhouse has dimensions of 4 x 6 square meters. m, the ceiling height is 2.2 m, it has a spacious recreation room with two windows. The entrance to the steam room is from the shower room. The usable area of ​​both rooms is 3.52 sq. m. m. Two-level shelves can be installed in the steam room.

Bathhouse made of profiled timber 4×6 meters with a relaxation room and a terrace

Profiled timber is offered as a material for the construction of a bathhouse.

A bathhouse can be not only self-construction, but also located inside a residential building. This building can also be used as a guest house.

The entrance to the building, built from rounded logs with a diameter of 180 mm, is from both the porch and the terrace. The building has two bathrooms, a large hall with a living room, a steam room with an area of ​​almost 9 square meters, two bedrooms and a kitchen. On the spacious terrace you can spend your leisure time with your family or friends. The entrance to the second floor is via a spiral staircase.

This building has everything you need for living outside the city.

The construction of a small bathhouse always entails an expansion of the area. Gradually, the owners realize that there is not enough rest room, and there is not enough space for guests. How to solve the problem without spending a lot of money and effort? There is an exit! The veranda to the bathhouse will add romance, airiness to the building and add usable space. The veranda can be made open or closed, and can be used not only in the warm season. Let's look at how to attach a veranda to a bathhouse with your own hands in more detail in this article.

The veranda to the bathhouse can be used as a place for receiving guests and relaxing

How to place the structure and where to build it is not an easy question. The most practical and inexpensive option is to make an extension directly in front of the porch, so there will be no need to change the layout and the veranda will fit organically into the building.

The easiest way is to place a veranda extension on the side of the bathhouse.

But there is modern methods place a veranda next to your bathhouse. Let's take a closer look at some of them, reviews of which are mostly positive.

Shape and its features

A veranda is not always a rectangular extension with regular shapes. Semicircular, oval or triangular attached models look organic. Especially if the facade is completely glazed and has original design. These will not only become a decoration and highlight of the bathhouse, but will also be a gathering place for your guests.

The semicircular veranda looks rich.

It will be more difficult to build a semicircular or oval structure with your own lessons, but the bathhouse will look modern and original.

Design features

The veranda can be either part of the bathhouse or a separate building. When the structure is built separately, it is connected to the bathhouse by a covered corridor. A long or corner model can be divided into two zones: a kitchen and a relaxation room. Traditionally, for a long model, the largest bath wall is chosen, but this is not a prerequisite. The structure may have several exits: the main one and the one to the garden or pool.

Covered veranda to the bathhouse under a separate roof.

The veranda can be fully covered or partially open, with a balcony or loggia. The loggia is used only in the warm season; it usually overlooks the garden. You can divide the interior into a small dressing room and a main part with a seating area. In large models, craftsmen manage to place a guest room, which is used in the summer.

All the nuances are worth noting when drawing up a diagram. You should not start construction without first diagramming the chosen option. The plan will help not only not to make mistakes during construction, but also to correctly calculate the building material.

What material is suitable for constructing a veranda?

Traditionally, the same material from which the bathhouse is assembled is used to build a veranda. But you can approach the issue with imagination and make a model from a completely different material. So, for a brick bathhouse you can build a terrace from timber or rounded logs. At proper finishing the design will look harmonious.

There is no need to build on an already established wooden bath an extension made from material with natural moisture. The shrinkage of the structure will be uneven and the terrace will be skewed. Take the choice of material seriously; its quality will determine not only how long the building will last, but also its appearance.

Once the design and material have been selected, you can proceed to construction. It will not be difficult to cope with the construction of a terrace with your own hands, the main thing is to follow all the details and instructions.

Choosing a foundation for the veranda

It is easier to build a terrace together with a bathhouse, so the shrinkage of the structure will be uniform and you will not have to fasten two foundations together. But alas, not everyone thinks about the veranda at the stage of building a bathhouse.

Schematic design of the veranda to the bathhouse.

The weight of the terrace is small, so a simpler foundation option is chosen for it. Since it is in any case better to install the veranda on a separate foundation, you can use a trick and illusoryly create the effect of structural integrity. To do this, place the veranda as close to the bathhouse as possible, leaving a gap of 20–30 mm between them, which is subsequently filled polyurethane foam or mineral wool and cover it under cashing.

To ensure that two different bases do not harm each other, everything must be carefully calculated and the characteristics of the soil taken into account. It often happens that the soil on an area of ​​1–3 m is different.

Between themselves, the bathhouse and the terrace, if calculated correctly, will behave like exemplary neighbors and cracking and separation will not occur. But for strength, you can connect the foundations with metal brackets, 1-2 at the joining points. They will not reduce the load, but will not allow the veranda to move away from the bathhouse.

For a small lightweight veranda, strip or columnar types of foundation are suitable. The columns are laid out under load-bearing walls in 1 m increments.

Assembling veranda walls

The easiest way is to build a frame terrace with your own hands. The walls are assembled from the bottom trim. The lower log or beam is taken with a larger section, so if the main one is 100x100 mm, then the strapping should be made of 100x150 mm. All wooden elements are treated with antiseptic compounds before assembly.

The veranda posts are attached to each other using metal corners.

The frame is attached to the foundation using metal anchors. Anchors attract the tree to the base using a nut and washer. It is necessary to lay anchors at the stage of pouring the foundation.

The bottom trim must be secured with a level. It must be strictly horizontal. After the bottom trim they attach vertical racks. There are two ways to attach the racks:

• cutting;
• using metal corners.

The second option is easier to do yourself. But it is better to take reinforced, galvanized corners. Each rack is secured on both sides with corners, and to provide rigidity, temporary jibs are attached. Jib beams can be used small for each rack separately or long for several beams at once.

The vertical beams should be fastened so that the windows and doors of the veranda are between them, otherwise it will be impossible to leave the opening in the right place.

The walls are insulated with mineral wool or ecowool and sheathed simply with boards or panels. The top of the veranda is sheathed with imitation timber, block house or siding.

The floors on the veranda may or may not have additional insulation, but the ceiling will have to be additionally insulated.

Glazing of the veranda - subtleties and features

The veranda attached to the bathhouse is rarely built warm, but in any case it has glazing. Windows give the veranda airiness and light. You can glaze the veranda in several ways:

• Full glazing;
• Partial glazing.

Let's look at the features of each type in more detail.

Full glazing

With a fully glazed veranda, the walls consist of almost nothing but large windows. All windows are panoramic, in some cases considered small.

Balcony windows on a fully glazed veranda they are installed around the entire perimeter.

The windows are not made to open, but for better ventilation they are made with 1–2 vents. Making full glazing yourself is difficult.

Partial glazing

Partial glazing is a structure in which 120 cm of walls are assembled from lumber or brick, and the rest is glazed. You can glaze using the type of balcony frames, an easy way to do it yourself.

The veranda can be partially or completely glazed open type.

Because of large quantity The windows of the veranda are always bright, until sunset, and it is not necessary to add additional lighting in it. For large verandas with a guest room, some of the windows are covered with curtains or blinds are installed.

How to make a veranda roof correctly

The roof structure of the veranda can be separate or common with the bathhouse. It all depends on the design features of the veranda.

When the gable of the bathhouse is located above the veranda, the roof is combined and made into a common slope. The good thing about the option under a common roof is that there is no need to think through the water drainage system.

For a structure located perpendicular to the gable, it is easier to make a separate roof. With their own lessons they make a lean-to, and top part should extend 15 cm under the slope of the bathhouse roof, so water will not get inside the veranda. The slope has an angle of inclination depending on the selected roofing material and wind load.

The roof is assembled using the following technology:

1. The rafter system is being installed.
2. Vapor and waterproofing is attached to the top.
3. Next, the lathing is done in increments depending on the chosen roof.
4. Roofing material is being laid.

The roofing material chosen is the same one that lies on the roof of the bathhouse. So, the design will fit into the overall design.

What verandas to the bathhouse are like can be seen in more detail in the video:

The veranda will give the bathhouse a special coziness and the owners will not have to think about where to place guests at a large table during the rain or in the heat, when insects do not allow them to sit in the open air.

In the understanding of any Russian, a bathhouse is something more than a place where you can wash yourself. This is relaxation, communication in a warm family and friendly company. It is no coincidence that the construction of such a facility is the first thing people think about when developing a suburban plot of land.

Often, a bathhouse turns out to be a complex complex, which may include a relaxation room, a food preparation area, and a terrace where people gather after washing.

Peculiarities

Modern baths can be timber, brick, frame prefabricated buildings. There are other options for choosing materials and construction methods.

A bathhouse is often built with a veranda or terrace. The terrace can be equipped with a barbecue oven. But even in the very simple version Such an extension will add comfort when spending a holiday outside the city.

The best options for planning a suburban plot of land are obtained when creating complexes of this kind. Along with the bathhouse, a platform appears on the site, protected from the sun and precipitation by a roof.

The terrace can be enclosed glass walls . This will allow you, without literally shutting yourself off from nature, to experience the effects of adverse weather conditions such as wind and slanting rain.

Combining a bathhouse with a terrace will also significantly simplify the construction issue. After all separate sauna and gazebos not only take up more space on the territory, but also require a much more significant investment of money, effort and time during the construction of each independent object.

Location of the building

For the location of the bath you need to choose right place taking into account a number of factors:

• It would be more correct that, taking into account the prevailing wind direction, the bathhouse should be the last in the line of buildings. If it suddenly catches fire, in this case there will be a high probability that the fire will not spread to other buildings.
• If the bathhouse and the residential building are built as separate objects, the distance between them must be at least eight meters. The reasons here are the same as in the previous case.
• It is advisable to locate the bathhouse away from the road. Even according to the requirements of the Land Code, this distance should not be less than five meters.

The terrace in its structure is an extension to the main building. In addition to the roof combined with the bathhouse, it can be protected from the wind to a certain extent, since it has one common wall with the main building and conditional partitions around the perimeter.

A solid floor is installed near the summer terrace. It can be made of wood, sometimes it is laid out with tiles or some other finishing materials. Furniture on this site includes benches, chairs, rocking chairs, and a dining table.

The terrace can be large or small. With a reasonable approach, it can always be made as convenient and functional as possible.

Selection of materials for construction

Wood is the material traditionally used for the construction of baths. It is usually used to make a log frame. The tree has many advantages:

• it retains heat well - no need to think about additional insulation measures;
• V wooden building the special smell and atmosphere that are characteristic of a traditional Russian bath;
• since wood breathes, the humidity inside the bathhouse is regulated;
• from this material you can create buildings of a wide variety of shapes, embodying original architectural solutions;
• There is no doubt about its environmental friendliness, since wood is safe for humans, and in a bathhouse it creates an additional healing effect.

The disadvantage of a wooden bathhouse may be the susceptibility of this material to mold, rot, as well as a significant likelihood of fire in case of careless handling of fire. There is much less fire danger in a brick bathhouse. But the room itself takes longer to warm up, which means you will have to spend more wood to wash and steam.

Brick structures for this purpose must have excellent ventilation., since condensate that appears during operation causes the appearance and spread of fungus.

At the same time, one cannot fail to note the environmental friendliness of brick and the fact that it can be used to build a building of any configuration. The long service life of such baths is also not the last argument in favor of choosing a brick building. Its construction can be cheaper than wooden. In addition, there is no need for special finishing. The brick looks good on its own.

Sometimes it makes sense not to limit yourself to traditional materials, but choose something more modern for the bath complex. For example, gas silicate blocks. Gas silicate belongs to the category of products modern technologies. It has its own advantages that force you to make a choice in its favor when it comes to building a bathhouse.

They differ:

• reliability;
• long service life;
• environmental safety;
• fire resistance;
• good thermal insulation properties;
• by the fact that it does not rot;
• ease of installation;
• at a small price.

An important issue when building a bathhouse is the construction of the foundation. More often than others, a strip foundation is made for such a structure using reinforced concrete, rubble or brick.

For a screw foundation, special piles are used, on which the structure will rest. Columnar foundation is one of the most economical. Using pillars you can build a base for a small bathhouse with a terrace.

Design

In order to get exactly what you need when designing a bath, you need to keep the following in mind:

• how many people should a washing complex with an open seating area be designed for?
• whether it will be used only in summer or can also be used in winter;
• what layout will be most suitable;
• what material to build it from;
• what is the acceptable construction cost?

If the bathhouse is to be used only in warm weather, you don’t have to think too much about insulating the dressing room. If the bathhouse is used year-round, the location of the entrance to it becomes especially important.

Proper planning allows you to reduce construction costs. So, if you make a comfortable outdoor barbecue area that can easily accommodate many people, a guest room may not be needed.

Sometimes it is enough to attach a terrace to an existing bathhouse, if it is new enough. If the bathhouse is an old building, it is better to place a rest area under the roof between the washing building and the house. It is important to choose a place for it so as not to violate the existing architectural and stylistic idea.

The area of ​​the bathhouse can be different - from small to impressive, for example, 6x4, 3 by 9 meters and so on. On a large plot there is room for a structure measuring 6 by 9 meters. It is suitable for a large family and a large company. Such a space can easily accommodate not only a steam room, a washing room, but also a kitchen, a bathroom, a recreation room, a billiard room, and so on. The bathhouse can be two-story. On the second floor it makes sense to make a spacious guest room. The terrace can be equipped with a stove that looks like a fireplace.

Such a health complex can be made, for example, from rounded logs. Layout variations are possible. For example, if you arrange a living room on the ground floor, separating it from the terrace with a glass wall, this room will always have a lot of light, and the terrace itself can look larger. When the weather changes, guests will be able to conveniently move from the open area to the living room and back.

Some designs of bathhouses with attics provide an external staircase to the second floor from the terrace. This way you can win additional space in the house itself. Although many may think so design solution controversial.

Sometimes it’s easier to attach a bathhouse to existing house, including a garage. In this case, a 5x6 meter extension with a terrace will be sufficient.. The functionality of the housing will expand, and in the heat it will be possible to spend time pleasantly in the fresh air in a place protected from the sun.

You can adopt the project of a corner bathhouse with a terrace. With this approach to planning, it can take up little space on the site, while remaining roomy inside. Such the project will be especially interesting when the bathhouse is placed very close to a residential building. There are also projects for corner terraces that make sense to apply in this case.

If you approach the matter thoroughly, you can aim for a real bath cottage. In addition to the bathhouse, it can serve as a variety of recreational functions. Here you can find guest rooms, an area for children to play, dance and barbecue. In summer, such a complex makes it possible to live in the fresh air most of the time.

When developing a bathhouse project, you need to take into account a number of nuances related to the location and arrangement of the terrace. A place for it must be allocated taking into account the direction of the wind. The bathhouse building should obscure the site, and at the same time the fireplace, so that vacationers definitely do not have to breathe smoke.

If the purpose of the terrace is to shelter people from the hot sun, you should not build it on the south side. This will only be good if the owners like to sunbathe.

Of course, one cannot ignore the surrounding landscape. It would be strange to have a terrace overlooking an outdoor toilet or a fence. It is much more pleasant to see a forest, river or lake from this site. From a planning point of view, the terrace can be located frontally, that is, along the facade of the main building, on the side, as well as at an angle and along the entire perimeter of the bathhouse.

For a small company, an area of ​​7-8 square meters will be sufficient. But if the territory allows, it is better to make it at least 9-10 squares. In this case, among other things, a couple of sun loungers or armchairs can easily be placed here. And the person preparing the barbecue will have enough space to turn around. At the same time, the heat of the stove will not disturb others.

The easiest way to lay the floor is with wooden boards. Although paving slabs will also work. On large terraces, natural stone is used for such covering.

Typical projects There are a lot of bathhouses with terraces. When creating variants of these objects, architectural bureaus take into account the requirements for the use of certain building materials and installation methods. Although no one will prohibit you from carrying out an individual project.

Design options

To have a pleasant time in a bathhouse with a terrace, you should carefully approach the design of the interior and outdoor area. Often the inside of the room is lined with clapboard of a certain tone. It's better to choose soft shades, which will set you up for relaxation.

It is necessary to ensure that there are no large protrusions or sharp corners in the rooms. Even if there is enough space in the washroom, steam room or relaxation room, a person in a relaxed state can accidentally touch the ledge and get injured. For the same reason care must be taken to ensure that the floors are not slippery.

It is better to use natural materials for interior decoration. Modern ones, such as plastic, are not friendly with a bathhouse, as they can melt or begin to emit unpleasant odors. Even if they do not poison, the holiday experience will be ruined.

In the bathhouse you need to provide all the necessary accessories: brooms, hats, aromatic oils, shampoos, soap, washcloths. It’s good to highlight them convenient shelf, which is always easy to reach.

It is better not to use for lighting bright lamps, which do not allow you to tune in to relaxation. It is better to let the light be yellow and soft.

The design of the outdoor area is also of great importance. It may have thick curtains that isolate the terrace space from the hot sun or cold. Sliding elements made of glass or polycarbonate can be used here. Thanks to this, the terrace can be used almost all year round.

The important part is the oven on the terrace. The overall impression of a bathhouse with a terrace largely depends on its structure and design. A separate foundation is laid for the barbecue. The oven is made of refractory bricks on a high base. When building it, it is better to provide a niche for storing a small supply of firewood.

As for the occurrence of smoke, a separate chimney with a high pipe is created to remove it, so that bad smell and the fumes did not spread across the terrace and bathhouse.

The relaxation room in the bathhouse has become as important a part as the steam room. During bath procedures, exposure to high sauna temperatures alternates with intervals to restore the body between visits to the steam room. The rest room is designed to make these breaks comfortable. When planning to build a bathhouse, you should definitely allocate a room for restoration.

Advice from professionals will tell you how to choose the right project wisely.

Peculiarities

Bathhouse designs with a relaxation room can be divided into three groups. The first group is traditional one-story baths. They are built from capital building materials with low thermal conductivity and have a standard set of premises: there is a steam room, a shower room, a relaxation room, a dressing room, and sometimes a terrace.

The relaxation room is located on the ground floor next to the steam room and washroom and combines the functions of a locker room. This is the most convenient option, which allows you to support optimal temperature in all rooms, since the stove evenly heats all adjacent rooms with steam supplied to the sauna compartment.

This layout allows you to place the furnace firebox both in the steam room, which is not always convenient, and in the relaxation room.

The stoker is at a comfortable temperature, and it is also easier to remove debris after kindling. Modern, technologically advanced long-burning stoves can have a glass screen, which allows you to admire the play of the flame while relaxing, creating a pleasant fireplace atmosphere and giving living warmth the inhabitants of the room. The simple layout, however, includes everything necessary for bath procedures and has great variability in area.

The minimum building area is from 16 square meters. meters, which is convenient for small areas, the maximum is at the request of the owner. This option does not require large investments due to the energy intensity of heating.

The second group is projects with a recreation room located in the attic or on the second floor. This will require the construction of a second floor or roof insulation., which will entail additional consumption of materials, the foundation will need to be strengthened to increase the load-bearing load. This option is convenient for small building areas.

On the ground floor there is a dressing room, a locker room, a steam room, and a wash room. On the second floor there is a rest room with or without a balcony. It will be necessary to allocate space for flight of stairs. Beautiful spiral staircase can decorate the interior of the bathhouse.

The third group of projects involves moving the relaxation room onto the terrace. This layout is convenient for summer use. In the cold season, the terrace will need to be glazed and a heating system needs to be thought through. However, this arrangement of the rest room provides a lot of scope for implementing design solutions.

A panoramic view of the landscape adds aesthetic pleasure to moments of relaxation.

The choice of layout depends on the seasonal use of the bathhouse. The first and second group of projects are suitable for year-round use. In summer, it is enough to have a rest room under a canopy with flexible glazing made of film or polycarbonate for a budget option.

The availability of free space on the site is of great importance, and if it is not enough, then raising a recreation room to the attic would be a good solution. Heating the second floor in the cold season requires the installation of an air or water circuit. Installing a long-burning stove with a convector on the ground floor can solve this problem.

The location of the bathhouse on the site must meet fire safety standards and ease of use. It is advisable to orient the windows of the rest room towards an attractive view. Glad to see beautiful landscapes before your eyes, and not a fence or a neighbor’s shed.

It is advisable to choose an elevated area for good ventilation and water drainage. The proximity of an artificial or natural body of water can be an effective addition.

Special attention are given to materials for the construction of a bathhouse. Traditionally, preference is given to natural wood in the form of timber or rounded logs of linden, aspen, and cedar.

Pine is more affordable, has a beautiful pattern of knotty wood fibers and is a popular material for a summer bathhouse. Its disadvantage is the porous structure of the wood, which greatly changes its performance due to heat and high humidity, so in the steam room and shower, pine needs to be sheathed with a hardwood slats, and for the rest room pine with its pleasant smell and aesthetic appearance will be the optimal solution.

Brick is a more expensive material, but it has the best durability and resistance to temperature changes.

A budget building can also be built from foam blocks. The construction of a bathhouse from blocks can be done with your own hands, even without special knowledge.

The interior spaces are lined with a block house and finished with tiles or natural stone.

The design of the rest room involves following a certain style, depending on the design, finishing materials are selected.

Subtleties of design

Designing a bathhouse yourself is an exciting activity. To do this, you need to stock up on paper, pencil and ruler.

For a family of 4-5 people and several guests optimal size a bathhouse of 6x6 meters with an attic is considered. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, steam room, shower room with toilet, relaxation room or living room. The recreation room can be supplemented with a kitchen, and the second floor is reserved for leisure and additional space to accommodate guests or family members. Entrance area The second floor, with an area of ​​18 meters, can be used as a studio or billiard room. Behind it there are two symmetrical bedrooms or rooms for children of 9 square meters. meters.

The functionality of the bathhouse is significantly expanded, and for this there is no need to build big house. The compact layout with a bathroom satisfies the needs of the average family for a country holiday.

With terrace

A bathhouse with a terrace is an excellent option for summer meals in the fresh air after bathing procedures. A barbecue grill can be placed on the area in front of the bathhouse or a grill area can be added to the veranda space. To do this, the size of the terrace must be increased so as to provide easy access to the brazier and avoid smoke from the dining table and windows.

The minimum distance between the stove and the table must be at least 2 meters. A ready-made metal brazier is installed or a stone brazier is built from bricks with a chimney. For such a barbecue, a separate foundation is erected, which is taken into account at the design stage.

It is better to make the floor of the terrace from paving slabs or sandstone if the terrace is open. A wooden floor is also used for a glazed terrace.. Glazing is made of sliding aluminum or plastic frames. Plastic frames are used for warm glazing. Lightweight aluminum structures provide protection from the elements, but the temperature inside the enclosed space will only be a couple of degrees higher than outside.

A bathhouse with a barbecue and panoramic glazing on the veranda will become a place of attraction for household members after a working week.

With swimming pool

The benefits of bath procedures will increase many times over when arranging a swimming pool or plunge pool in the relaxation room. The pool is located near the shower room.

The pool bowl is made of concrete and finished with tiles.

The tiles are selected to match the overall decoration of the rest room. Oriental flavor will give floral ornament and mosaic. For a Russian-style bathhouse, stone, brick and wooden sides are suitable.

In one-story bathhouses, a complex of a terrace with a plunge pool under a canopy is often designed. The font is made of wood and placed on a wooden platform in the fresh air.

In the Japanese version, the hot tub is heated with electric heating elements, which are built into the housing. Combining a recreation area with a bathhouse, a ready-made frame pool is installed for summer swimming or a stationary pool is erected, with sun loungers or beach chairs placed nearby.

The reservoir can have strict geometric outlines or be close to its natural shape. In this case, the shore is decorated with pebbles and plants: hosta, astilbe, and cereals. The bathhouse with a swimming pool on the terrace is protected from prying eyes by a hedge from flowering shrubs or vines on supports.

A comprehensive recreation area requires good lighting, as it is used in the evening.

Lighting the area with electricity is done if there are communications, more economical option– lighting with LEDs or solar-powered lanterns.

Small room

Small baths cannot boast of a large number of rooms, so they often have a shower in the relaxation room. When decorating premises with such a planning solution, it is necessary to take into account high humidity and select appropriate materials: tiles, plastic panels, natural or artificial stone.

The shower must be separated from the relaxation area with a glass or plastic partition so that splashes do not disturb vacationers.

It is preferable to purchase furniture from moisture-resistant materials. The correct selection of finishes will make using the shower convenient, and staying in the rest room will be comfortable.

Design

The design of the rest room is determined by the chosen design style. For finishing the bath, it is better to select natural materials that are resistant to moisture. All rooms are convenient to keep clean if the space is not cluttered extra items, and the surfaces are easy to clean. The design of the rest room is determined by the chosen design style.

Rural or Russian style

Direction involves application natural wood for covering walls and floors. The wood is treated with special anti-fungal compounds and coated with oil or wax. The natural color of wood gives the interior light tone, which visually increases the space.

It looks interesting to use unedged boards for wall cladding, which are cleared of bark and sanded. The room takes on brutal features.

This inexpensive finish provides thermal insulation and an aesthetic accent.

The walls can be lined with softwood clapboards and decorated with carvings.

The furniture for such a relaxation room is made with your own hands from solid pine or purchased ready-made and complemented with decor from relief images on wood with a bathhouse theme. Look beautiful log walls as a symbol of traditional Russian culture. For budget options use a block house made of plastic, imitating various types of wood.

Scandinavian style

Optimal combination functionality and simplicity. The decoration prevails White color with brown or black structural elements.

The main materials are wood and glass. The entire color scheme is calm, and the geometric theme can be seen everywhere. The use of natural or artificial stone is appropriate here; a panel made from wood cuts looks original. The entire furnishings are practical and durable.
