Furniture for the bath with their own hands

It is very convenient if in a quiet country house a private sauna or a sauna is equipped, where you can relax and relax, forgetting about everyday problems, paying attention to health. Excretion of slags, normalization of sleep, improvement of the skin condition is not a complete list of the effects that the bath provides.

What is the difference between furniture for a bath and the rest of the furniture?

1. It is operated in conditions of high humidity and high temperatures.
2. Such furniture is in direct contact with human skin.

These factors dictate the special requirements for materials used to make furniture for the bath.

Requirements for the material for the manufacture of furniture for the sauna

1. Homogeneous texture( no cracks, pores, chips, etc.).
2. Environmentally friendly.
3. Increased density.
4. Low thermal conductivity.
5. Ease of processing( trimming, sawing, grinding, etc.).
6. Reduced resin content( their presence makes processing difficult).

What is wood processed for the production of furniture for a bath?

• polymer preparations;
• antiseptics.

Important!

1. Wood for bath accessories is not exposed by varnish. Otherwise, when heated in high humidity, toxic fumes that are harmful to the human body are released.
2. All parts and the surface as a whole should be well sanded to avoid scratches and cuts on the skin when contacting the wood.

Types of wood most popular in the manufacture of furniture for the bath room rest

1. Poplar.
2. Abashi.
3. Aspen.
4. Lime tree.

Abashi is the wood of an exotic dead African tree. Furniture for a bath made of Abashi wood has all the necessary properties: it does not burn the skin, does not rot, does not deteriorate or darken. The only "minus" of such timber is its price. This variety belongs to the elite and it's not everyone who can afford such a cheap purchase. Therefore, an ordinary master "of all trades" who decided to make furniture for the rest room of his bathhouse, will have to settle for less exotic raw materials and choose any of the other three varieties of wood. They also proved to be very good in the field of furniture for the bath( including their own hands).The main properties of these types of wood are strength, low thermal conductivity and moisture resistance. Pine, which is not suitable for the steam room( it emits resin), can be used to produce furniture in a dressing room with a cooler microclimate.

What furniture is needed for a bath?

Now let's define which items are usually included in the bath furniture set. An example of a standard set of furniture for a bath can be seen on the photo:

Items of a bath headset

1. Shop.
2. Shelves.
3. Table.
4. Shelf for shoes.
5. Clothes hanger.
6. Bathroom shelves.
7. The font.
8. Taz and tub.

Manufacture of furniture for the bath with their own hands

Shop

What should I prepare?

• wooden blocks 5x7x40 cm( 6 pieces);
• boards with a thickness of 2.5 cm and a length of 90 cm( 14 pcs.);
• screwdriver;
• self-tapping screws;
• hammer and nails;
• adhesive( for wood, resistant to thermal surges).

Instruction for manufacturing

1. From the beams make U-shaped racks( 2 pieces), connecting the bars together with glue and screws.
2. On the stands, fill 12 boards, putting them with an edge and retreating between them 1 cm.
3. With the remaining boards, connect the racks, giving them more stability.

Table

The table for a bath differs little from a standard table, except the material from which it is made.

Drawing tables and other furniture for a bath can easily be found on the expanses of the world wide web, and having certain skills, they are easy to make. If the experience of such works is small, then limit yourself to the production of shops( already savings!).A complex design can be bought. Although, experience comes in the process. Maybe you all will be so wonderful that you risk taking the whole set. But start nevertheless with elements of furniture easier. ..

Shelf for shoes

What should I prepare?

• wooden pallet;
• screwdriver;
• self-tapping screws.

Instruction for manufacturing

1. Disassemble the pallet into its component parts( get long flat boards and bars at the same time).
2. From the bars and boards, assemble a three-level shelf, fastening them together with self-tapping screws.

Clothes hanger

What should I prepare?

• board of the required length;
• pencil for marking;
• hinges for hanging the hanger on the wall( 2-3 pcs);
• "slingshots" of simple branches of approximately the same size;Screwdriver and self-tapping screws
• .

Instructions for manufacturing

1. Install the hinges on the back of the board.
2. On the front side, mark the position of the "slingshot hooks".
3. Screw the branches to the board at the marking points.
4. Hang the hanger on the previously nailed into the wall nails( or other fasteners).

Bath Shelves

Standard size of the classical shelf: 70x200 cm. They should not be suspended very high, so that it would be convenient to sit on them, not resting their heads on the ceiling.

The principle of manufacture is approximately the same as for a bench. Only for the shelving frame is created, which is attached to the wall. At this stage, you can use metal fasteners. On top of the frame, boards with gaps of about 1 cm are stuffed in order for the water to flow unimpeded and free air circulation ensures a rapid drying of the surfaces. For fastening boards contacting with an open body, it is better to use wooden nails.

The font

The font is a reduced alternative to the pool, a kind of bowl. Its diameter is often 150 cm. This can be a barrel mounted on the floor or ground, or a container dug into the ground, which is much more difficult to perform. By the way, it's much easier to install a ready-made plastic font. But the wooden one, of course, is more pleasant and environmentally friendly.

Taz and tub

These items are easier to buy already ready. However, if there is experience of such works, they can be made of wood in a set with other parts of the bath headset.

Important!

All metal joints( nails, screws, etc.) must be deeply buried in the wood to avoid skin burns.

Try and dare! And your country house will be replenished with its own bath with exclusive furniture, which is not ashamed to boast before the guests.
