Do-it-yourself frame bathhouse: step-by-step instructions for arrangement + tips for choosing materials

Requirements for structures

Requirements for the location and construction of wooden baths were invented to make the building safe for visitors. They are spelled out in several government documents:

1. SNiP II-25-80.
2. SNiP 2.01.07-85*.
3. SNiP 2.02.01-83*.
4. SNiP II-L.13-62.

Requirements for distance to other objects and buildings:

• residential building - 8 m;
• trees - 3 meters, bushes - 1 m;
• natural, artificial reservoirs - 25 m;
• neighbor's plot - from 1 m;
• wells, wells - from 12 m;
• forests - 10–15 m;
• roads - 6–10 m.

These are average standards, errors are possible.

Fire safety requirements:

1. Electrical appliances inside the bathhouse must be grounded.
2. There must be a working fire extinguisher in the rest area room.
3. The walls around the stove should be covered with reflective screens.
4. A metal sheet must be fixed to the floor in front of the combustion chamber.
5. The stove should be located above the floor level at a height of 12 cm.
6. Do not use flammable mixtures or chemicals to light stove equipment.

The bathhouse should be located on a hill and not create smoke in residential buildings when the stove is fired. You can install an electric oven.

Arrangement of the roof of the building

For such a small structure as a bathhouse, you can build a gable roof. It is safer to assemble all roof elements on an open plot of land. The rafter system is made of timber with a section of 150x50 mm. To avoid mistakes, it is better to make a preliminary layout and then repeat the assembly of the rafters.

For the roof frame, you need to nail the two rafters together at the top end. The bottom of the rafters must be placed on support points and secured. Use a crossbar (crossbar) to connect the legs of the rafters using screws.

When the frame is ready, you can begin installing it. First fix the front structural elements. Use a construction cord as a guide, stretching it between the pieces. It should run along the line of the roof ridge. The remaining elements must be mounted at its level

The distance between the rafters can be selected individually; usually 1.2 m is used. Between the rafters, the location of the chimney must be taken into account. Use a plumb line to check the level of each element being installed. If there are deviations from the vertical, level the position by placing a piece of board under the rafter leg.

Now start lathing. If you plan to use soft roofing material, for example, ondulin, for example, then the sheathing pitch should not exceed 10 mm.

You can insulate the roof with the same materials that were used to insulate the walls. Next, the roof is covered with roofing. The final step will be to install a galvanized corner on the roof ridge.

Registration Features

In order for a bathhouse to be registered with local authorities, it must have:

• full living rooms;
• main types of communications - water supply, gas pipeline, electricity, sewerage;
• a lot of free space, a massive base, a lot of mass.

If the bathhouse is standard, with three functional rooms (dressing room, washing room, steam room), you do not need to obtain permits for its construction, since such buildings are classified as auxiliary.

About the secrets of the bath Metabolism

Baths and steam rooms actively influence the body's metabolism. Let's consider its main features in order to imagine the impact of the bath regime on health and correctly use the procedures included in it.

Metabolic balance can be positive (body weight is gained), negative (a person loses weight) or in a state of equilibrium. During the period of growth, the metabolic balance is always positive, as body weight increases. A negative balance is observed during illness and fasting, as well as in old age. At this time, the body breaks down more substances than it receives from food, or a larger percentage of food is not absorbed. Most adults achieve a balance between the intake and expenditure of substances and energy. It can persist for many years, and body weight will remain constant. Steam rooms and baths, especially in combination with massage, help to properly regulate metabolism in the body and maintain constant body weight.

Beginners who love steaming judge the metabolism in the steam room primarily by sweating and weight loss. The evaporation of water from the surface of the skin, as already mentioned, cools the body and relieves it from overheating. The higher the air temperature, the drier it is, the more excess heat the body gives off to maintain a constant body temperature, the more sweat is produced. It is with sweat that decay products (toxins) are removed from the body. But it also removes salts from the body, including sodium chloride.

The great need for table salt is due to the fact that its solution plays a major role in creating and maintaining osmotic pressure in tissues. Blood and other body fluids contain about 1% salts, of which approximately 0.9% is table salt. Salts are components of digestive juices (especially gastric juices), which are secreted in large quantities. Ions of sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine are involved in the processes of excitation and inhibition, muscle contraction.

The body uses salt sparingly. Thus, almost all salts released into the digestive tract in juices are absorbed back into the blood. The kidneys play a major role in regulating the content of table salt. The daily need for table salt is determined by its consumption.

The bath increases the release of urea and lactic acid from the body. All this has a positive effect on the function of internal organs and the functioning of the body. Lactic acid is formed in the muscles during physical activity, creating a feeling of fatigue. The steam room accelerates the removal of lactic acid from the body, relieves muscle fatigue, and restores muscle strength.

Baths and steam rooms stimulate gas exchange in the body. In this case, as a rule, the minute volume of respiration and oxygen consumption by tissues increase.

Rational nutrition should fully cover a person’s needs for energy and plastic substances and contribute to maintaining health, high working capacity, and ensure proper growth and development for children.

The daily diet of a person who does not engage in physical labor (students, doctors, office workers) should include 91 g of protein, 103 g of fat and 378 g of carbohydrates. In total this amounts to 2800 kcal. In addition, mineral salts, vitamins and water should be supplied with food. With a mixed diet containing products of animal (meat, butter, milk) and vegetable (vegetables, fruits, sunflower oil) origin, there is no need to take special care of the delivery of vitamins and inorganic salts. All of them are contained in food in required quantities. The exception is table salt, which requires adding about 5 g per day.

When the body overheats in a bathhouse and steam room, as well as during physical work, the need for energy increases, so it is recommended to increase the content of not only fats and carbohydrates in the diet, but also proteins.

To compile and calculate food rations, special tables are used that indicate the composition of food products and their energy value (calorie content). Doctors advise taking about 50% of proteins and fats in the form of animal products, and while increasing the energy value of food, maintaining the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates at 1:1:4. This ensures the best absorption of substances. A monotonous diet containing large amounts of proteins (more than 200 g) or fats (more than 150 g) is inappropriate, as it disrupts the processes of digestion and metabolism.

To reduce body weight, in addition to active procedures in the steam room and bath (Charcot shower, swimming pool), and special massage, it is necessary to limit the amount of carbohydrates. If the bath is combined with intense physical activity (training athletes), when a lot of proteins are destroyed in the body, it is necessary to increase their content in food.

Worry - don't get burned, give in - don't get burned, don't fall off the shelf.

Material

When choosing a tree for a bathhouse, you need to study what types of timber for assembling a log house can be found on sale:

• solid non-profiled;
• solid profiled;
• glued profiled;
• thermal beam;
• cylindered.

For the construction of baths, softwood timber is often used. Advantages:

• low price;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• pleasant aroma that intensifies when heated.

Flaws:

1. Low mechanical strength. Impacts leave indentations.
2. Resin releases when exposed to high heat.

More expensive types include lumber from linden, aspen, oak, ash, maple, and birch. They are distinguished by high strength, durability, and attractive appearance. These types of wood release beneficial substances when heated strongly.

Internal and external finishing of a frame bath

For the exterior decoration of the bathhouse, it is better to use hardwood. Be sure to lay a layer of waterproofing material under the facing board.

The material for interior wall decoration must respond well to humidity and high temperature. For the steam room, hardwood lining is used so that it does not release resin. In other rooms of the bathhouse, you can use lining made from coniferous trees.

The best option for decorating sun loungers, shelves and ceilings would be to use linden.

Advantages and disadvantages of buildings

Advantages of a wooden bath:

1. Attractive view.
2. Low price compared to brick.
3. Light weight. For the construction of a small building, a columnar foundation is suitable.
4. Environmental friendliness. The material does not emit harmful substances during operation.
5. Natural ventilation.

Minuses:

1. Wood is deformed and destroyed under the influence of moisture and temperature.
2. Wood is highly flammable
3. Fungus and mold can develop on wooden surfaces.
4. Damp wood shrinks more. Until the log house is dry, you cannot begin interior decoration, install windows and doors.

Wood defects can be eliminated. For this purpose, impregnations, antiseptics, and fire retardants are used. They help protect the material from fire, the destructive effects of moisture, darkening, and the spread of fungus and mold.

Rules for choosing tanks

To select water tanks, you need to decide how much the owner of the bathhouse is willing to spend. Based on this, narrow the range of products offered.

When contacting a specialized store, you need to find out about the quality of the material and the period of guaranteed service.

If the purchase is made in person, through special services, the boilers should be examined directly in operation. After this, you can agree on further acquisitions. Only by seeing the necessary equipment in operation can you determine what shortcomings may occur in future use.

During further installation, it is better to contact a specialist who can eliminate all possible problems.

It is also necessary to check for possible carbon monoxide leaks into the room. If you are purchasing a gas boiler, it is better not to purchase it secondhand. Faulty equipment can be hazardous to the health of family members.

When choosing the best boiler for a bath, it is better to adhere to your own wishes and safety rules. It is important to remember that the best installation can only be carried out by qualified specialists. This will allow you to enjoy an ideal bath for a long time.

Calculation of building dimensions

When calculating the dimensions of a building, several parameters need to be taken into account:

1. Constant number of bathhouse visitors.
2. Number of rooms. There must be at least 3 functional rooms - a dressing room, a washing room, a steam room. The remaining rooms will be used as a recreation area.
3. The amount of free space for visitors. Builders recommend taking 2 m2 per person for each room.
4. Availability of free space on the site.

You can save space by adding a terrace, a full second floor or an attic.

Materials for the construction of a frame bath

When the project is ready, you need to make a list of materials necessary for construction, after purchasing which you can begin construction.

Below we have provided an approximate list of materials that will be needed for the construction of a frame bath. The list may vary depending on the selected technology. And the required amount of materials is calculated based on the size of the bath.

In addition, you will need tools for work, screws, nails, plumbing fixtures, etc.

For interior decoration of the walls of a frame bath, you can use lining. This is an environmentally friendly material that is made by processing wood.

Construction of a building

The process of building a bathhouse can be divided into several separate stages. Each of them has certain characteristics.

Foundation and floor

Under a wooden bathhouse you need to make a strip foundation. It is suitable for different types of soil and can withstand the weight of a two-story building. Construction of the foundation:

1. Mark the boundaries of future construction and trenches.
2. Remove all trash from the designated area, cut down trees, and uproot stumps. If possible, remove the fertile layer.
3. Dig trenches. Their depth depends on the freezing point of the soil. The suitable range is from 50 to 80 cm.
4. Place a 20 cm layer of sand at the bottom of the dug trenches, pour water over it, and tamp it down.
5. Assemble wooden panels from boards and bars. Cover the inner sides of the boards with thick polyethylene film. It is needed to prevent the cement from leaking out.
6. Put together the panels into a single formwork and install them along the boundaries of the trenches. Spread with bars.
7. Tie a reinforcing frame from reinforcement and install it inside the trenches.
8. Pour cement mortar. Stretch it evenly over the entire base. Tamp the solution so that air bubbles come out.

The foundation will take about 30 days to dry. After this, you can dismantle the formwork, level out the unevenness, and begin further work.

Walls

Construction of walls:

1. Before laying the crowns, you need to cover the concrete base with liquid mastic and lay out 2 layers of roofing material.
2. It is recommended to cover the beams for the first crown with used motor oil to protect them from rotting, the spread of fungus, and mold.
3. The assembly of the crowns occurs through choppers, which are driven into the drilled holes. It is necessary to lay out jute or flax between the crowns.
4. The rounded timber is placed in special grooves, which are located in the corner joints.

A frame house is assembled differently. A strapping crown is fixed on top of the foundation. Vertical racks with braces are installed on top of it. The entire structure is connected by an upper strapping crown.

Windows and doors

The arrangement of window and door openings can be done in two ways:

1. Cut openings in the finished log house using a chainsaw.
2. Designate the location of doors and windows in advance. Lay out the timber in a certain sequence.

The ends of window and door openings need to be reinforced with metal corners.

Ceilings and roof

Arrangement of the roof, ceilings:

1. Ceiling beams are fixed on top of the last crown at intervals of 60 cm from each other.
2. Identical pieces of boards are placed on top of the ceiling beams, which will be the rough ceiling.
3. Separate sections of the rafter system are assembled on the ground, installed on top of the ceiling beams, and assembled into a single system using lathing.
4. A vapor barrier wire is secured to the sheathing with a construction stapler.
5. A counter lath is placed on top.

The last stage is the installation of roofing material.

Communications

Communications are an important stage in the construction of any private house or bathhouse. If you do not lay a water supply pipeline or install a sewer system before starting interior finishing, problems with dismantling may arise.

Electricity

Wires can be laid over the finishing material, closing them in special protective boxes. You can also hide them inside the walls if you pass them through corrugations made of non-combustible material.

Sewerage

Sewage drains in summer cottages are carried out to drainage wells or septic tanks. They are assembled from large-diameter plastic pipes, since this material is cheap and more resistant to chemicals and liquids.

Water supply

To assemble a pipeline for supplying technical and drinking water, it is better to use plastic pipes. A drain point must be installed in the system so that liquid can be removed before the onset of winter. When laying a pipeline along the street, it is important to protect it from the effects of cold with a special protective casing.

Wall treatment

When treating wooden surfaces in the steam room, you cannot use chemical antiseptics or fire retardants. Surfaces can be impregnated with special oils or wax for saunas and baths.

Thermal and waterproofing

Thermal and waterproofing consists of several layers - a vapor barrier film, a wooden frame made of bars, insulation, foil film, slats, and finishing material.

When purchasing insulation, you need to consider what zone it will be used for. For the dressing room, you can use mineral wool. For a washing room or steam room, it is better to choose foam glass.

HEALING PROPERTIES OF WOODEN Utensils

In Rus', dishes were traditionally made of wood. Moreover, not every tree was suitable for its manufacture. The healing properties of wood were of great importance.

Thus, it was believed that dishes made from linden had anti-inflammatory properties, while those made from rowan protected against vitamin deficiency. They ate with wooden spoons from wooden bowls, and used wooden bowls, ladles and jugs. In addition, they wove dishes from birch bark - salt shakers, containers for storing flour and cereals.

It is known that birch bark has many medicinal properties - from bactericidal to tonic. This is how the body of our ancestors gradually accumulated the healing properties of trees.

It has long been believed that wooden dishes help to improve relationships with family and blood relatives.

For example, alder will charge you with energy and ward off ill-wishers from your home.

Hazel will make you perspicacious, as it bestows the gift of insight and foresight.

Aspen retains the beneficial properties of medicinal herbs, so it is recommended to make healing herbal mixtures in such containers.

And willow gives the owner insight and intuition.

Oak has anti-inflammatory and anti-decay properties. Oak wood contains tannids, thanks to which a wooden mug gives drinks a unique aroma and taste. This has been known since time immemorial.

It was not for nothing that Europeans revered the oak, considered it a sacred tree, attributed miraculous properties and worshiped it. In Greece, an oak branch symbolized strength, nobility and power, and the Slavs held wedding ceremonies, meetings and trials under the crown of the sacred tree.

The use of cedar wood as a material for the production of tableware is due to both the beauty of the wood and the healing properties of this plant.

Many understanding people will say that food on a cedar plate retains its taste and aroma for a long time. It is also necessary to take into account the disinfecting properties of cedar wood.

Juniper. In Ancient Rus', dishes were made from juniper bark. And the dishes did not spoil for a long time, and the milk stored in such dishes did not turn sour even on a hot day, and pickled vegetables are stored in juniper barrels longer than usual.

A wooden mug is an indispensable bath accessory! Since ancient times, it was believed that a wooden mug must be in the bathhouse. It is from this that you need to drink kvass or special tea after visiting the steam room. This allows you to enhance the healing properties of bath procedures.

In addition, a wooden mug is an ideal vessel for preparing infusions of medicinal herbs for serving on stones or taking various medicinal or cosmetic baths. In addition, a set of wooden mugs in the interior of a bathhouse will create a specific atmosphere of comfort and warmth.

Care Tips

If used for a long time, the cookware may darken. You can restore the original color of wood by wiping it with hydrogen peroxide. After this, do not forget to rinse the dishes with warm water.

If wooden dishes smell like mold, add a little vinegar to hot water and rinse them with the resulting solution.

To remove tannins, new wooden utensils should be soaked in water for 2-3 weeks. The water needs to be changed regularly.

If wooden spoons are stained by vegetable or fruit juice, boil them in chlorinated water for 15 minutes. To remove the chlorine smell, soak them in cold water for several hours.

Finishing

When the frame is completely seated, the doors and windows are installed, you can begin finishing. Decorative materials are selected depending on the bath room.

Internal

Features of finishing of bath rooms:

1. The floor, walls, and ceiling in the steam room can only be covered with clapboard.
2. For the washing room, you need to choose finishing materials that can withstand prolonged exposure to moisture.

Any material is suitable for a dressing room.

External

Exterior finishing is done only for frame buildings. Wooden baths made of timber do not need additional finishing, since the surfaces have a beautiful appearance.

How to take a steam bath correctly: tips for beginners

Man has always been attracted by warmth, pleased by the rays of the sun, attracted by hot springs. One cannot help but recall the Russian proverb: “Where it is warm, there is goodness.” One has only to mention the word “bath”, and the soul of its lovers blossoms and trembles - this is what it is, the power of the most ancient and rejuvenating custom. It is precisely this loving attitude of the Russian people towards the bathhouse that is evidenced by numerous facts, Russian folklore and scientific research. Scientist-historian P.I. Strakhov in his book speaks about the customs of Russian tsars like this: “When meeting foreign ambassadors and guests, they first invited them to the bathhouse.” Another, scientist N.I. Kostomarov says that the Russian bathhouse was the main necessity not only for cleanliness of the body, but also a great pleasure and a cure for many diseases: “If a Russian person feels unwell, then immediately... he goes to the bathhouse to take a steam bath.” So, over many centuries of the bathhouse craft, its own rules have arisen, without observing which an inexperienced person can harm not only himself, but also other unfortunate bathhouse attendants who believe that going to the bathhouse is nothing more than a fun pastime. Here are some tips for beginners from “experienced” bath attendants: 1) You should not go to the steam room after a heavy meal. This is harmful to the body, but you shouldn’t do it on an empty stomach either. A light meal is appropriate here. 2) It’s better to steam around 9-10 o’clock in the morning. A rested body during sleep is full of strength, and you can easily go through this procedure, which puts a strain on the heart. Please note that a steam room is a workout that, without exaggeration, replaces physical activity. 3) Gradually get used to the temperature in the bathhouse, do not immediately climb upstairs for the hottest heat. Start with the most comfortable steam experience for yourself. If, on the way to the bathhouse, you are frozen, before entering the steam room, dip your feet in warm water, allowing your body to feel warm, and after that you can safely proceed to the process in the steam room. 4) For hygiene purposes, before visiting the steam room, it is advisable to rinse off, but it is important not to get your hair wet, it’s just that in the steam room itself you can overheat it and get heatstroke. Moisture on the body prevents sweating and only after you have dried yourself with a towel can you safely enter. 5) Wearing some kind of headwear - a hat or cap - protects you from the possibility of overheating. A woolen mitten is also a necessary attribute for visiting a bathhouse. With its help, you remove sweat and dead skin cells from your body that prevent you from sweating further. 6) When you first enter the steam room, stay at the very bottom for several minutes, getting used to the heat; it is better to do this while lying down. In this position, the heat most evenly affects your muscular system, which makes it possible to warm up properly. 7) After taking a break, or completely stopping the procedure for taking steam, take a shower when leaving the steam room. It is better to start with a warm one, gradually moving it to a colder state. Well, it’s absolutely great for impressions and sensations to pour cold water over your body for a few seconds. It is recommended that people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and nervous system disorders approach the process of visiting the bathhouse with caution. People who are sensitive to heat and have water-salt imbalances can also be included in this category. For those suffering from skin infectious diseases and allergies to odors and aromatic substances of plants, it is better to completely refrain from going to the bathhouse. If you consider yourself healthy, but after being in the bathhouse for some time, you suddenly feel unwell, although you maintained the optimal regime and temperature of the steam room, then most likely something is wrong in your body. Symptoms that often accompany this are headaches, impotence, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite. Any person needs to adhere to the basic principles of gradualism and consistency when mastering the art of pairing, and if you suffer from any chronic diseases, it is better to first consult a doctor. Remember that a bathhouse, if used incorrectly, can cause harm, but if used correctly, it can become a source of health and good mood. Beginners should adhere to the following rules: - Do not start your acquaintance with the bathhouse alone. You need someone who can monitor or simply help you in case of any difficulties. - Don't try to catch the first heat. The temperature in the steam room at this moment is extreme and your body may react inadequately to the high temperature. Many experienced bath attendants prepare special infusions to enhance the healing properties of steam and give it aroma. Chamomile infusion is considered useful; pine needle or eucalyptus extract has a good healing effect. They are prepared both at home and it is also possible to purchase them in city pharmacies. Adding this infusion with water in a steam room relieves body fatigue after physical and mental stress and has a healing effect for respiratory diseases. And of course, it’s hard to imagine a Russian bathhouse without a broom. We talked about brooms and what they are like in a previous article about bath culture. Our country is vast and its bath traditions are vast; every corner of Russia has its own wisdom of bath art. And, probably, everywhere you will be praised about their bathhouse, their steam and this interesting science, “how to steam in a bathhouse correctly”!

Recommendations

Tips for building a wooden house:

1. The height of the foundation should be more than 50 cm.
2. Ceiling beams should protrude beyond the boundaries of the frame on both sides by 50 cm on each edge.
3. Windows and doors cannot be installed until the frame has completely shrunk. Window and door frames should be chosen from wood, since plastic releases harmful substances.
4. The slopes must be equipped with gutters with drains through which water will be drained away from the building so as not to flood the foundation.
5. To save money, you can assemble bath furniture yourself.
6. If the stove is brick, it is recommended to assemble a separate base for it.

The lining for finishing the steam room should be made of wood with a low thermal conductivity.

To build a wooden bathhouse, you can use different types of timber, which differ in cross-section and production technology. Bathhouses have been assembled from wood for a long time, but with every decade the technology for processing the material itself and assembling log houses improves.

What not to do in a bathhouse - basic mistakes

Ignorance of the rules of soaring results in health problems, deterioration of well-being, and does not bring a feeling of relaxation and rest. Bath lovers with “experience” give useful advice and point out the main mistakes:

Do not plunge headlong into the font

When visiting a steam room, the blood vessels dilate greatly, which can lead to overheating of the body. When immersed in cold water, they contract, and the uncooled head receives a powerful blood flow. The person feels increased blood pressure, nausea, and dizziness.

Use a broom until red marks appear

Bath attendants know that light redness of the skin is considered optimal. It means that small capillaries are filled with blood, increasing the risk of overheating. Monitor your pulse by measuring it on your wrist before and after entering the steam room. If the indicator is exceeded by 14–15 beats, it is better to lower the temperature in the steam room.

Apply cosmetic ointments to the body before visiting the steam room

Women are confident that a thick layer of anti-cellulite cream or honey will remove toxins and smooth the skin. In fact, the pores are sealed with a thick composition, sweating and detoxification do not occur. It is better to lightly steam the body and treat it with a scrub of ground coffee or oatmeal. After completing the procedures, take a hygienic shower and apply a moisturizing lotion.

Have a hearty lunch before the bath

At high temperatures, the process of digestion of food slows down, and fermentation of food occurs in the stomach. The level of toxins increases, heaviness and discomfort arise. The best option is a light snack 2 hours before visiting the bathhouse, consisting of boiled vegetables, salad, porridge without meat.

Tolerate high temperatures

In case of poor health, after an illness, a strong temperature contrast can have the opposite effect. Reduce your visit to the steam room to 5–7 minutes at a time, and don’t forget to cool off in the plunge pool.

Use only one broom

A useful “accessory” for vaping is made from different types of wood. Birch helps open pores, cleanses of impurities and toxins. Juniper stimulates blood circulation and strengthens blood vessels. Oak tones and soothes the skin, so it is often used at the last treatment.

Drink alcoholic drinks of any strength

Alcohol additionally dilates blood vessels and intensively removes fluid. It increases the load on the heart muscle and kidneys, causing surges in blood pressure. This is dangerous even for a healthy person, so drink alcoholic beverages after completing all procedures, when normal blood circulation and pulse are restored.

If you follow some simple rules, visiting the bathhouse will bring you pleasure, protect you from colds and blues, and improve your mood and well-being. Do not make mistakes that can provoke unpleasant complications, remember possible contraindications so as not to harm your health. published
