For the arrangement of the strip foundation dig a trench and make formwork from the boards. The depth of the trench depends on the freezing of the soil. It is better if it reaches the non-freezing layer of soil. At the bottom of the trench lay a sand pillow, which allows you to more evenly distribute the load. Reinforce the structure with a mesh net.
Concrete mortar can be purchased ready-made or kneaded by yourself. After concreting the foundation, it takes a few days to survive to gain strength. Do not allow it to dry out. Moisture plays an important role in the formation of bonds.
Since concrete is capable of absorbing moisture, the above-ground part should be treated with waterproofing compounds .
Stage two: erection of walls
The construction of a bath of brick with their own hands continues immediately after sufficient solidification of concrete. Bricks for walls can be taken by anyone, but the optimal is the red bastard brick .

The amount of material for the construction of a brick bath is determined with the help of simple calculations. The height of the walls is divided by the height of the brick, getting the number of rows. The length of the wall is divided by the length of the brick, getting their number in one row. Then the number of bricks in the row is multiplied by the number of rows. An approximate number of materials is obtained, which is required to build a wall into one brick.
When laying walls, you must always remember the door and window openings, as well as the ventilation holes .Over the future windows and doors lay the lintels.

For the installation of floor beams in a brick wall leave holes. To the tree on contact with the brick is not rotten, the beams in these places are wrapped with a ruberoid. The installed beams are covered with boards.
To ensure that the beams are resistant to moisture, they are wrapped with with fabric asbestos. Asbestos cloth is fastened with a construction stapler. Over the beams for insulation, a mixture of equal amounts of clay and sawdust is stacked. The dried layer is sprinkled with sand.

The space around the pipe is covered with layer of expanded clay and covered with another steel sheet. Inside the sauna there is a place where the oven will be located. Also lined with metal to the ceiling.
The construction of the roof is now complete. A rafter system is installed on which the roofing material is laid. Any material can be selected. Features of the arrangement of the roof depend on this choice.
Stage four: interior arrangement
Next when building a bath of brick with their own hands it is necessary to equip the floor.

The walls in the steam room are also lined with wood. Do not use open metal fasteners where contact with the skin is possible.
Shelves are also made from hardwood .Coniferous wood under the influence of heat emits resin, which can burn and stain. All the details are trying to mount on wooden pins.
All communications in the bath should be laid in advance, before the completion of the finishing process. In the furnace you need to lay stones.
The outer door can be any, and the door to the steam room must be made of wood. The inner door is installed on special moisture and temperature resistant loops.
After all these processes, the brick bath at the dacha is ready for use.
