Project of a bathhouse with a glassed-in veranda terrace. One-story baths with a veranda. Baths made of timber

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 a thoughtful and rational solution that will not only decorate the appearance of the structure, but will also expand the possibilities of spending time there.

Material for building a bathhouse

To build a bathhouse, you can use almost any material, but wood is most often chosen. Coniferous trees are an ideal option 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 simply need to cut the timber to the 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, as it provides the owner with a full-fledged recreation area, which, moreover, can be equipped with a 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 the bathhouse, which resembles an outdoor summer cafe. 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 (music, 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, 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 solid floor covering, waterproofing, and a pitched roof will be required, 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 in the summer, but also stay overnight after a bath in the winter.

An attic is a room under a sloping 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 land area. An open, ventilated attic is an 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, this project is of interest to those who like to gather with a large family, invite guests and not worry that there will not 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 in winter there are no deviations 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 a 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 like a garage door 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 designs for a bathhouse with a veranda is quite extensive; everyone will be able to choose a suitable option for themselves and place it on a suburban area. Each of them has individual characteristics that are important for ensuring quality rest. Therefore, before starting to build any type of bathhouse, you should study all the fire safety rules, first of all this applies to buildings with a terrace where the installation of a stove or barbecue grill is provided.

Whatever the size and arrangement of the terrace, its presence will add completeness to the bathhouse and will serve as a decoration for the 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.

We will consider in more detail what its layout should be in order for water procedures to be optimally combined with relaxation, board games and home-cooking.

Bath layout options

It is advantageous to build a terrace (veranda) not as a separate structure, but under the same roof with 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.

The second step is to determine the usable area of ​​the terrace. 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 layout option is 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 smoke from the heater chimney (when using solid fuel) does not get into the windows of the living quarters.

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. The 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 beams. 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 can not invent complex options, but simply combine it with an ordinary 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.

A 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 a round bathhouse with a terrace using the “clay mortar” technology. Two dump trucks of firewood, one clay truck and a hay cart - that’s all the materials needed to build a unique and environmentally flawless structure.

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, they can be side or 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” 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 a wooden structure that 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: entering the rest room directly from the street and the 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 costs 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. The result will be a guest house-sauna, especially if you make a 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 a 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 every 1-1.5 meters - this way the boards will not sag. Material of manufacture - any. You can drive asbestos or iron pipes into the ground and 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. So prepare the required number of 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 filled in, 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 options for installing 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 is ready-made concrete blocks. You just need to dig the appropriate pit for each column, make a gravel backfill, place a half-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 bottom 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, laid on a concrete column 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 with a width equal to the length of the side of the beam, with a thickness of at least 25 mm.
• 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 a drainage pipe under the tiles)

To prevent plants from sprouting under the coating, they are treated with special chemicals. 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 is difficult to say exactly, since the tiles can be of 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

Today you won’t surprise anyone with your own bathhouse on a country site. 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, an attached veranda, a gazebo, a swimming pool and other beautiful and functional buildings are very original. 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, 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 during 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. For the roof, soft tiles, slate, and metal profiles are used. Such wooden bathhouses and gazebos need corresponding 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 recreation 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 moving from a warm house to a hot bathhouse. 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 relaxation room, you can come up with an original decoration, put sun loungers here for sunbathing or install 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 recreation room - the design is not so important. The main thing is that the inhabitants of a 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 a terrace Today you will not surprise anyone with your own bathhouse on a country site. Modern projects simply amaze the imagination - they are so compact and convenient to use.

Modern bathhouses with barbecues are the embodiment of versatility and smart use of space in terms of saving it. The projects are premises with the functionality of a bath complex (steam room, washing room, dressing room, and, if desired, a relaxation room), combined with a spacious terrace. This is where the barbecue is located: a grill or a summer version of the oven.

A bathhouse with a barbecue area provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy not only bathing procedures, but also being in the fresh air, enjoying delicious food and communication. After all, we have a wonderful tradition - to relax with a large friendly company in nature, treat ourselves to barbecue and good wine. Undoubtedly, a cozy terrace or gazebo will become a “center of attraction” for your family and friends. Today, a barbecue at a summer cottage is good form.

Wooden saunas with barbecue: pleasure and versatility

Choosing one of these projects promises double benefits: the developer gets a bathhouse and at the same time a well-equipped place to relax. There are quite a few options for summer hearths - numerous photos of projects, which, if desired, can be easily found on the Internet on the relevant sites, speak for themselves.

The barbecue can be decorated in any style that is in harmony with the architectural appearance of the bathhouse. Projects for free-standing bathhouses with a barbecue terrace involve placing a large table, chairs, rocking chairs or benches, and always a barbecue made of brick. When constructing a stove or barbecue, all safety standards must be observed. By the way, it’s not so difficult to make them yourself if you have at least a little construction experience.

The resting place is well protected from bad weather, which means its whims do not interfere with pre-planned friendly gatherings. While lighting a fire in an open area is difficult due to strong winds and rain, it is easier than ever to light a fire in a gazebo.

Often bathhouses with a barbecue area provide a functional separation of areas of a terrace, veranda or gazebo. In one half, cooking takes place, in the other, guests relax.

Construction of bathhouses with barbecue

Since the recreation area is located outdoors, designs for wooden bathhouses with barbecues require the presence of a terrace, veranda, gazebo or just a canopy. It all depends on the area of ​​the land and its landscape. But even in the smallest area it is quite possible to place a bathhouse with a barbecue - for example, a corner one.

The advantage of the design is that with a minimum area, the building allows you to save precious square meters, but at the same time does not lose its versatility. The corner log house is compactly placed at the end of the plot, and the courtyard that appears in front of it becomes an excellent aesthetic addition to the beautiful terrace with a barbecue area. Projects of this kind often involve two entrances: to the premises of the bath complex and to the relaxation room. A terrace or veranda with cooking and relaxation areas is attached to one of the entrances.

A good option is a bathhouse with an attic. Movement “upward” and not “broadly” best demonstrates the possibilities of competent development of space. You will get a bathhouse and a beautiful garden or vegetable garden nearby, because you will not have to sacrifice square meters for the construction of a large log house.

Bathhouses with barbecues can be made from any building material, however, in our deep conviction, the best option is wood: a natural material that fully complies with all environmental standards and has outstanding consumer characteristics. Terraces made of smooth rounded logs, profiled or glued beams, which in themselves are quite decorative, will be attractive in their own way.

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 simplest 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 surrounded by 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, a separate bathhouse and gazebo 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

To locate the bathhouse, you need to choose the 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;
• the wooden structure has a 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 to choose something more modern for your bath complex. For example, gas silicate blocks. Gas silicate belongs to the category of products of 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. The 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 projects 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 consider such a design decision controversial.

Sometimes it is easier to attach a bathhouse to an existing house, including one with 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 allocate 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.

There are a lot of standard designs for 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 is better to choose soft shades that 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 wash room, 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 is good to allocate a convenient shelf under them, which is always easy to reach.

For lighting, it is better not to use 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 the unpleasant smell and fumes do not spread throughout the terrace and bathhouse.

In order to effectively organize the adjacent space and combine the spa area and the relaxation and entertainment area, it is convenient to combine open extensions to the house with the main building. There are many possibilities for creating such multifunctional objects, for example, projects of bathhouses with a terrace and barbecue; photos of various interesting solutions indicate the increasing demand for such a solution.

Advantages of combining a bathhouse with a terrace and barbecue

Combining several objects in one room helps:

• create maximum comfort;
• correctly zone the site, dividing the space into a recreation area and an area for agricultural plantings;
• simplify site maintenance;
• reduce construction and operating costs in the future.

Traditionally, a terrace is an open or glazed area connected to a bathhouse by a common roof and foundation. The size of the terrace can be different, it all depends on the size of the plot, the hospitality of the owners and the size of the family, but the optimal size is 8-10 square meters.

Combining a spa area, including a bathhouse or sauna, and sometimes a small plunge pool with a terrace, has a number of benefits:

• Saving space, the rest room can be located on the terrace;
• Placement of additional devices, such as a barbecue oven or an open grill;
• Simplification of connection of communications. For example, for lighting it is enough to lay one power cable with a common distribution board.

Also, a bathhouse with a barbecue terrace can partially serve as a summer kitchen. During your vacation, you will have the opportunity to take a steam bath and have a small picnic at the same time; you don’t need to walk far from building to building, everything will be at your fingertips.

Contents of the project for installing a bathhouse with a terrace

Before starting construction, you should familiarize yourself with the permitting standards of the Russian Federation for the construction of such structures.

According to the provisions of Part 17 of Article 51 of the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation, the construction of a bathhouse, as a construction for auxiliary use, does not require a special permit. But in order to secure property rights, and in accordance with Art. 25.3 of the Law “On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It”, an object such as a bathhouse should be registered. To do this, there is a simplified procedure involving filing an application with ROSRESTR and paying the state fee.

This step will protect against possible fines for unauthorized construction in the future.

In addition, you need to remember that the location of the bathhouse relative to other buildings on its site or buildings on neighboring sites is regulated by SNiP 30-02-97 “Planning and development of territories of gardening associations of citizens, buildings and structures” and should not be less than 8 m.

Insertion into a collective sewer system for wastewater outflow, connection to electrical networks is impossible without agreement with local utilities and energy companies by obtaining and agreeing on Technical Conditions (TU.)

The design of a bathhouse with a terrace and barbecue should contain:

1. Architectural and construction part. This section of the project includes views of all facades, a floor plan and a section. It is at this stage that the future interior and exterior are determined, and also described:

• foundation installation;
• construction of external walls and roofing;
• external and internal finishing.

1. Engineering part. This section of the project includes diagrams for laying utility networks:

• electricity and water supply;
• installation of wastewater and sewerage.

An estimate with the cost of work is attached to the project. Design prices typically start at $500. You can use numerous projects on the Internet, but most often they do not contain the most important parts, such as laying a foundation or laying networks. This is due to the fact that foundation work and connection to utility networks are required individually, taking into account the characteristics of the site.

Even if the construction of a bathhouse on the site is carried out independently, in order to provide for all the necessary work and materials in advance, as well as estimate the cost, such a project must be done at least in a draft version.

Smoke removal should be provided in advance, depending on which boiler is chosen for the bathhouse, and also resolve the issue of smoke removal for the barbecue oven. The equipment manufacturer's instructions usually contain the necessary requirements for the height of the chimney.

Since the barbecue is located in an open or well-ventilated area, there is no need to equip a classic high chimney. The pipe may be small, but you should pay attention to the direction of the wind that is normal for the area so that the smoke does not blow back into the room. For an outdoor barbecue or grill, it is advisable to organize a protective zone so that coals and sparks do not damage the flooring boards. It is convenient if you have a small woodpile or a box for storing coal.

Projects of bathhouses with a terrace and barbecue. Material selection and standard solutions

One of the most common materials for building a bathhouse is wooden panels, timber or rounded logs. This material “breathes”, is environmentally friendly, and holds heat well. The interior using natural wood creates a unique atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. But a wooden structure will require mandatory protection from excess moisture inside and the formation of mold as a result. It is also desirable to impregnate wooden structures with fire retardants to prevent fire.

Brick, shell rock or any other natural stone are no less in demand for the construction of baths. Especially if it is not a traditional bath or sauna, but a hammam or a Roman bath with different temperature conditions. Building from stone has many advantages:

• No significant measures are required to combat fire;
• More possibilities for interior solutions;
• Exposure to moisture does not lead to the rapid spread of mold and destruction.

The disadvantage is:

• Longer time to reach the temperature required for the bath;
• Higher fuel consumption, depending on the selected boiler system.

Table 1. Temperature conditions depending on the type of bath

Regardless of the material chosen, it is necessary to carefully provide a ventilation system to remove condensate, especially if the stove is equipped with a light steam generator and a smoke removal system.

For example, a stove-stove, which is mandatory for a bathhouse, requires a competent chimney installation; an incorrectly connected pipe, with an outlet through flammable materials or excessively insulated, can lead to a fire.

A heater stove can be made of brick with your own hands with a brick chimney. When performing this work, it should be taken into account that due to the fact that the lower part of the stove is subject to heating, the foundation of the bathhouse and the heater must be separate.

It should also be noted that:

• The foundation of the furnace must have a depth below the soil freezing level of at least 0.7 m;
• The size of the foundation must be at least half a brick larger than the cross-section of the furnace.

The construction of any building, including a bathhouse, begins with pouring the foundation. In the case of building a bathhouse with a terrace and barbecue, there is an important point that is definitely worth paying attention to. It is necessary to lay different foundations under the terrace and the bathhouse building itself, because the bathhouse is heavier than the terrace. For a bathhouse with a large area or a bathhouse made of brick or foam concrete, a strip foundation is required, and for a small bathhouse a pile foundation is also suitable. For an ordinary wooden terrace, a pile foundation is suitable. If the terrace is located on difficult soil, prone to landslides or freezing, it is better to use screw piles for greater reliability. Since the structure of the bathhouse is heavier than the terrace, the soil under the bathhouse will sag faster than under the terrace, and this can eventually lead to damage to the entire building. To avoid such an imbalance, the foundations must be separated by a layer of insulation.

Bathhouse with barbecue terrace. Examples of cost-effective solutions

The most popular option for organizing a recreation area for a small area is a bathhouse, which includes:

• Steam room with stove and beds for 3-5 people;
• Relaxation area with a table and seats where you can relax

It is advisable to provide a small undressing room; it can also combine the functions of an auxiliary room for storing bath equipment, towels, etc.

It would be ideal to provide a small bathroom with a shower, but most often the site’s capabilities do not allow this. The most successful layouts can be found in the photo below or in the video in the article.

If the territory allows for the most organic organization of recreation space, a corner bathhouse project with a terrace and barbecue can be taken as a base. This layout allows for multifaceted use of space, allowing you to simultaneously organize recreation for groups of different ages. For example, while adults are relaxing in the bathhouse, a group of children can gather on the second terrace. Or the steam room may have two exits to the relaxation room and to the barbecue area.

Successful layout options for a corner bath and an interesting option for exterior decoration can be seen in the photo below.

The bathhouse in the Russian tradition is not only water procedures, but also a form of leisure time loved by many of our compatriots. In the bathhouse it is pleasant to sit with friends after a busy work week, relax with the whole family, fully cleanse the pores of the body and relieve accumulated psychological fatigue. In addition to relaxing together with tea parties and barbecues, the bathhouse often hosts get-togethers for men and women based on their interests. For example, a group of men will be interested in discussing their affairs, while women arrange whole cosmetic rituals in the bathhouse that are not inferior to spa salons.

To conduct such versatile leisure activities, it is necessary that the bathhouse, in addition to a steam room, washing room and changing room, also have a spacious place for relaxation. Such a place could be a functional veranda located under the same roof as the bathhouse building.

Advantages of baths with a veranda

One of the main advantages is saving square meters of land. With a veranda attached to the bathhouse, you can eliminate additional buildings on the site, freeing up space for flower beds or garden crops. The veranda can accommodate a summer kitchen, a gazebo, a barbecue area or a small swimming pool.

Combining several functional objects under one roof will significantly reduce construction costs and materials. A roofing sheet for a combined building will cost less than for several structures. In addition, the construction of a bathhouse with a veranda will allow for a uniform design for the entire mini-complex.

From the point of view of convenience, such a mini-sauna complex will allow you to spend full-fledged leisure time in one place, without moving from building to building.

Building options

What the veranda attached to the bathhouse will look like depends on the taste of the customer, his financial capabilities and the availability of free space on the site. Architectural agencies offer a variety of ready-made projects for every taste, and will also help develop a computer version upon individual request.

Even if you are going to build a bathhouse with a veranda with your own hands, viewing such a visual project will not be superfluous.

Let's look at the most common types of projects.

• Bathhouse as a separate building. In this case, the veranda can be located on any side of the bathhouse building or even along it. It all depends on the location of the bathhouse itself and the intended functions of the veranda.

If the extension is located on the side of the building, then a small open or closed passage may lead to it. In the case of two-story buildings, the veranda can be located on the second floor, which will significantly save space on the site.

• Corner bathhouse with veranda- an example of compactness and spaciousness of the structure. It can occupy the darkest corner of the site, not used for planting plants. Thanks to the angular shape, there will be enough space inside the room to accommodate both the bathhouse itself and the adjacent recreation area.

In addition, the corner location of a bathhouse with a veranda can give a complete look to the architectural composition of the entire site.

• Bathhouse attached to the house. This method of planning allows you to increase the area of ​​the house, while reducing the development of the site itself. The veranda in this construction option serves as an excellent resting place for two buildings at once - a house and a bathhouse. But it is worth remembering that this option requires additional costs for waterproofing and ventilation in order to avoid dampness in the house.

The standard and most successful parameters for verandas have dimensions of 3x6, 5x6, 4x8, 5x4 meters.

Types and shapes of verandas

A veranda is a covered summer extension to a house, in a classic design, having walls, window openings, a foundation and a roof. Verandas can be either open or closed.

Open verandas are different in that they can have only one wall on the side of the house and a roof. They are simpler in design and represent a spacious porch with railings and supporting pillars. A closed veranda is a summer unheated recreation room, protected by walls and windows from precipitation and wind.

When designing, it would not be superfluous to consider various forms of verandas. Instead of the traditional rectangular or square shape, you can choose semicircular, oval or even triangular structures of original design. Such a building will become an architectural highlight in the landscape design of the site and a non-standard place for gathering guests.

Project options

• Classic bathhouse with veranda. A separate bathhouse will become a leisure center for the whole family if you include a spacious veranda in the construction project in advance. Here you can organize family celebrations, place sofas or wicker furniture, organize a barbecue or billiards area.

• Two-story bathhouse. In this embodiment, the veranda can be a narrow room, intended only for climbing to the second floor to the rest room. If a bathhouse of this type is intended primarily for leisure, then a glazed veranda with a staircase leading to the second floor will decorate the area. It is not necessary to add a full second floor for a recreation room; you can get by with a spacious attic under a pitched roof and one attached wall above the bathhouse.

A bathhouse with a narrow veranda and attic significantly saves square meters of land.

• Bathhouse with summer kitchen. An excellent option for small plots of land or for owners who have not yet completed construction of the main house. Such a bathhouse is suitable for permanent residence in the summer and will accommodate all the necessary household elements.

The summer kitchen is used for cooking and eating, and the bathhouse with steam room is used for water treatments. In the veranda-kitchen you can organize a place to relax and sleep.

• Bathhouse with swimming pool. A shower cabin or dousing with cold water does not bring as much joy as the opportunity to plunge into the water immediately after the steam room. If there is no body of water nearby, even the simplest container of water can provide this opportunity. A small pool can be installed directly in the recess of the veranda. Construction of a full-fledged pool from foam blocks is a technically complex task, requiring compliance with many nuances and the development of a separate project. You can simplify the task by choosing a purchased plastic font for 10-20 square meters. meters.

There are plastic containers on sale in a variety of shapes and sizes that can fit into any room. As a rule, they come with all the necessary accessories - shelves, ladders, rugs.

Veranda layout

When considering various designs of bathhouses with a veranda, you should pay special attention to the location of the extension and its orientation to the cardinal points. The comfort and functionality of this room will depend on this. Decide on the main purpose of the veranda as a space for leisure. Please note that there will be too much sun on the veranda on the south and south-west side, and this may be inconvenient for a comfortable stay. At the same time, the south side for the veranda and the entrance to the bathhouse will be a salvation from northern winds and snow drifts in the winter season.

The windows of the veranda facing west will provide longer sunlight in the summer, because the bathhouse is most often started in the evening.

To install a barbecue, determine the main wind direction in your area. It is advisable that the veranda be protected from gusts of wind by the structure of the bathhouse.

Another important detail when choosing the location of the veranda is aesthetic perception. When relaxing on the veranda, it is better to admire the picturesque landscape than the view of a fence or utility structures.

Construction of a building

As a rule, a veranda under the same roof as a bathhouse is planned at the project stage, and the materials chosen for it are the same as for the bathhouse. But this is not a prerequisite - one common roof and foundation is quite enough, but the veranda itself can be, for example, wooden against the backdrop of a brick bathhouse building.

It should be remembered that the addition of a veranda from a different material is only possible during the transition from heavy to light materials. You can attach a light wooden structure to a brick bathhouse, but not vice versa.

Another option is an extension to an already finished bathhouse., for example, in a situation where the roof of a bathhouse requires repair and replacement. When planning to change the roof, you can at the same time expand the bath space by adding the construction of a veranda to the project.

Foundation for the veranda to the bathhouse

Laying the foundation is the most critical moment of construction, on which the durability of the structure depends. Work on laying the foundation begins with determining the groundwater level and the degree of soil heaving.

This is especially important if the veranda is built after the construction of the bathhouse, with a separate foundation. It happens that a few meters from the main foundation the soil has a different structure and a close flow of water, and this can lead to erosion of the base and cracks in the walls.

The foundation for a veranda and bathhouse can be of several types.

• Tape– the most economical option, suitable for stable soil, withstands heavy structures well. The installation process consists of creating a trench around the perimeter of the proposed structure, installing simple formwork from scrap materials, laying a reinforcing frame and pouring a concrete mixture. After the concrete has completely hardened, you can begin building the walls.
• Columnar. Ready-made concrete blocks or pillars of bricks are dug into the pit prepared in advance. A “cushion” of crushed stone and sand is lined at the bottom of the pit, the pillars are compacted tightly, and the lower part of the pillars is filled with bitumen mastic. The pillars must be at the same height and stand no further than 2 meters from each other. The space between the pillars is filled with crushed stone. Next, as in the first case, concrete is poured.

• Pile. This method is suitable for problematic soils with high groundwater levels. Wells are drilled at the points planned by the project, waterproofing is laid in the form of a roofing felt cone, and concrete is poured. On the surface, the piles are connected to each other by a grillage - a reinforced concrete frame.
• Pile-screw. Another simple method involves screwing metal pipes with screw threads on the tips into the soil. It is important that the pipes are coated with an anti-corrosion compound.

Floors

The subfloor is laid on a completely dry concrete base. It is best to use wood with a deformation gap, since this material tends to expand due to temperature changes.

The wood must be treated with an antiseptic and water-repellent compounds. As a rule, the construction market offers many options for already impregnated and treated subfloor boards.

When choosing a finished floor covering, you should pay attention to wear-resistant, frost-resistant and non-slip materials. The bathhouse is heated only during certain periods, and in the winter season it is subject to freezing. Ordinary wood can crack in cold weather, and tiles are not always suitable for baths due to increased slipperiness. The best option would be to choose lining or decking boards made from a certain type of wood, already treated with special compounds.

For open terraces, larch or pine wood is usually used. Thanks to its resinous properties, it does not rot or lose strength, which significantly extends the life of the floor. Combined options based on wood and polymers are also available for sale.

If you are planning a place for a barbecue on the veranda, you must make a base for the barbecue in advance, observing all fire safety rules, as when installing a stove in a bathhouse.

Walls

The frame of the veranda is erected on a ready-made foundation and can consist of various materials: prefabricated metal profiles, timber beams, foam blocks, building bricks. The choice of material largely depends on the type of veranda itself. For an open type, a light wooden frame is sufficient, but a closed, warm structure will require solid walls and insulation.

Verandas are often glazed to the maximum or protected from the wind. and drafts with transparent polycarbonate. Window openings can completely replace walls in the manner of “French windows” from floor to ceiling, or be partially erected, for example, starting from the railing at waist level. An interesting option is to glaze part of the openings with stained glass mosaics. This gives the veranda an original look and protects from the direct rays of the summer sun.
