Bath from the bar with your own hands

Own bath from a bar is not only bodily health, it is also a wonderful occasion to gather and chat with friends. Steam bath helps to cleanse the body much more efficiently than a bath or shower. Thus the organism receives a huge charge of vivacity. A self-propelled sauna house is an achievable goal for most homeowners. Its construction is not difficult, if you follow the step-by-step instructions with the photo below.

Foundation

One of the most expensive items in any construction is the construction of the foundation. To reduce the cost of the project and simplify the construction, a columnar foundation was made. It is a concrete block, which is installed in places of increased load( under future walls, stove, corners of the building. ..).For reliability, the posts should be dumped into the ground to a depth of 70 cm( the ideal depth will be the depth of freezing of the ground).

The optimal size is a bar of 3 x 5 m. The bar is recommended as a material that is accessible and easy to lay. Dimensions of the bath are optimized for the size of the available timber( at standard cost).Blocks are better to choose sizes of 90x60x30 cm, 8 pieces will be needed. Blocks are installed in the dug wells and leveled one level. From above they should be covered with waterproofing( roofing material) and directly on them the whole structure will be mounted.

Step-by-step construction of a bath from a bar assumes the presence of a construction scheme( ideally to make complete drawings).This is necessary for the accurate calculation of materials and the establishment of a time frame for the construction.

For the construction of a bath it will take approximately 5 m3 of bar with parameters 150x150 mm. Cant be purchased from a trusted supplier. The bath of a bar 150х150 mm is realized on the basis of a stud joint. To simplify the connection of the beam, holes are drilled in it, into which then wooden nagels are drowned( metal can be used, but the durability of the bath will decrease).A full cycle of work can be done by one person. Clearances between the beams are recommended to hammer the pack( it is convenient to lay it on top of the bar until the next one is laid).The construction of a bath from a bar during the laying of the frame is quite simple. When building a roof, additional hands will be required.

Roof

The most budget option for the roof of the bath is a gable roof covered with slate.

For rafters and trusses a beam of 120x50 mm is required. It is necessary to make six trusses for laying slate in one row( the first ramp) and in a row and a half( the second ramp).

Sewerage

Sewer pipe is removed to a septic tank, excavated nearby. To create a septic tank, you can use old tires.

Internal work

To create a steam room, the Compact 12B oven will be used, which has a built-in water tank. The foundation under the furnace is desirable to make a cast( it has a large weight), you can also use blocks. From the brick is laid a wall around the door of the furnace.

Between the sink and the dressing room a jumper is made of concrete blocks. In the sink the floor was made as follows: a concrete layer was laid on a thin layer of expanded clay, then a layer of expanded clay about 20 cm, on top a screed with a slope to the pipe. The sewage pipe is integrated into the floor to drain the water, so it is necessary to carry out the floor with drain to the grid hole. On top of stacked larch boards.

In the waiting room, a ruberoid is laid out on the leveled ground at the ground level. Old sleepers are installed on it, roofing felt and larch boards are on top again.

The given plan how to make a bath from a bar will allow to receive a bath from two rooms( a dressing room and a sink) which will not be terrible a frost( it is possible to be soared in the winter) and with accessible cost.

For extraction of exhaust gases from the furnace a stainless steel pipe( three parts of 1 meter) is used. From above on it we establish a visor.

Walls in the steam room should be heat-insulated with a Penotherm 3 mm( the seams are glued with aluminum tape).This insulation will retain heat and will not affect the bar moisture. Inside, the sink should then be sewn with a wooden lining.

The dressing room is insulated with Ursoi 50 mm, a vapor barrier is put on top of it, and then it is lined with a lining.

After the finishing works, the area of ​​the premises was slightly reduced. The dimensions of the sink are 2х2,65х2,10 m, the waiting room 2х2,5х1,95 m, the vestibule 1,8х0,6х1,95 m. In the tambour there is a bundle of firewood for six months of firewood.

The pipe passes through the ceiling in the following way: the top of the galvanized sheet is nailed along the edges to the square opening, from the bottom is an asbestos sheet and covered with a single galvanized sheet. In the attic, the pipe is clad in a sleeve, about 40 cm in diameter and 60 cm in height. The claydite is poured into it, so the transition to the sandwich is in expanded clay. And the bulk of the sandwich above the roof. The ceiling is covered with a layer of expanded clay 15 cm.

In order to get a more complete understanding of how to build a bath of wood with your own hands, you should carefully review the photo report of the building.
