Construction of a bathhouse

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:

SNiP II-25-80.
SNiP 2.01.07-85*.
SNiP 2.02.01-83*.
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:

Electrical appliances inside the bathhouse must be grounded.
There must be a working fire extinguisher in the rest area room.
The walls around the stove should be covered with reflective screens.
A metal sheet must be fixed to the floor in front of the combustion chamber.
The stove should be located above the floor level at a height of 12 cm.
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.

Advice from lawyers:

1. How much should you retreat from the neighbor’s fence when building a bathhouse?

1.1. According to SNIP rules, the distance from the fence to the bathhouse must be at least 300 cm. This is important for neighbors. The bathhouse should not shade their area or be a fire hazard. The drainage system organized in the bathhouse affects the distance. When water simply drains into a ditch, neighbors will not like a puddle on the property. Three meters will protect the adjacent area from water. Organize a pit with a good drainage system and save an extra half meter near the fence. If there is a residential building on an adjacent plot, the distance from the house to the bathhouse can be at least 800 cm. The possibility of moving the border closer to the fence arises only if the bathhouse is built of brick or concrete blocks. In this situation, the bathhouse from the neighbor’s house, located behind the fence, can be located 600 cm. And everything will be fine)

5. I bought a plot of 20 acres (land for personal farming), I plan to put a log house, a bathhouse, a well and a gas holder on the plot. When I receive a document for construction, will I need to provide a design for the house, a bathhouse and documents for drilling a well and installing a gas holder, I just want it this way now, but in half a year I’ll change the sizes or something will go wrong and I’ll want to completely change everything. Can I get permission without projects? Thank you.

5.1. Hello! According to Art. 51 part 17. Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation, the issuance of a building permit is not required in the case of construction or reconstruction of individual housing construction projects. For the purpose of constructing an individual housing construction project, the developer submits a notice of planned construction. This notification must be accompanied by documents specified in the city code; the project is not on this list.

7. We would like to build a temporary small house on a plot that belongs to us (taken according to the design of a 6*6 bathhouse with an attic) for living and registration in it in the future until we build the main house. After the construction of the main house, we want to convert the temporary house into a bathhouse. Is it possible? And what you need to do?

7.1. Hello. There has been no registration in the Russian Federation for a long time. To register at the place of residence, the house must be registered as a residential premises (residential building) and meet the criteria of suitability for permanent residence. In the future, it is possible to transfer from a residential building to a non-residential building. But you will definitely create problems for yourself. There may be problems with the simultaneous location of two residential buildings on the same plot of individual housing construction - it will not be possible to comply with fire standards, building density standards, sanitary standards, etc. and when you send a notice to build a 2nd house, you will receive a refusal. You will first have to transfer the first house to non-residential status and remove it from registration at the place of residence. Or you will have to build a second house virtually without permission, without notification, and this is fraught... It’s better to build and register a “temporary building” as a non-residential building, and endure without registration at the place of residence until you build the main house.

8. At what distance can a bathhouse be built from the neighboring plot, from the forest? From the house? Stone bath. And is it necessary to obtain permission to build a bathhouse if the house has not yet been built?

8.1. Hello! A distance of at least 15 m should be maintained from the forest area. There should be a distance of at least 4 m to tall trees on the site, and at least 1 m to shrubs. The distance from the bathhouse to the fence should be at least 1 meter, measured from the boundary. This indicator is relevant if the fence is made of metal or other non-combustible materials. If the fence is wooden, the minimum setback is 3 meters. The construction of a private bathhouse on your own land is allowed at a distance of 2.5 meters from neighboring plots and 5 meters from residential buildings. The distance of the building from the roadway is at least 6 meters. When choosing the location of the bathhouse, you should take into account the wind rose that is present in the area. This will prevent smoke in the neighboring area during regular heating of the bathhouse. No less important is the choice of method for organizing the drainage system. You can install sealed septic tanks or a full-fledged treatment system. The permissible distance between the sewage system and the neighboring area is 1.5 meters. If we are talking about capital construction, then it must pass documentation. Changes to Law N 340-FZ, which came into force on March 1, 2019, require the registration of bathhouses whose area exceeds 50 m2.

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.

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:

Low mechanical strength. Impacts leave indentations.
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of buildings

Advantages of a wooden bath:

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

Minuses:

Wood is deformed and destroyed under the influence of moisture and temperature.
Wood is highly flammable
Fungus and mold can develop on wooden surfaces.
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.

Pile technology as a universal method for constructing various structures

Screw piles are widely used not only on slopes. The products successfully cope with various elevations and hills. Moreover, they are often installed near the water or right in it. What do you think, what do many modern piers stand on, bridges and berths for ships connecting different banks? That's right, on those same stilts.

Until recently, it was believed that the service life of pile elements was limited to twenty to thirty years. Today it has been proven that this is not so. This is confirmed by buildings constructed much earlier than the specified deadlines. The foundations continue to reliably perform their functions.

However, you should not think that piles are “immortal”. During use, they are subject to constant loads, both from the structure and from external factors. The same water constantly destroys the structure of materials, gradually making them unusable. To resolve the issue, it is necessary to use good waterproofing. Even if one of the load-bearing elements ceases to perform the necessary functions, it is easy to replace. The technology is already there.

Calculation of building dimensions

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

Constant number of bathhouse visitors.
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.
The amount of free space for visitors. Builders recommend taking 2 m2 per person for each room.
Availability of free space on the site.

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

Screw piles - an effective solution to the problem of site slope

Most experts involved in the construction of various buildings agree that the best way to build a load-bearing structure on a slope is to use piles. We are talking about screw type products. Many buildings confirm their rightness.

For the first time, the construction of a foundation on a slope with screw pile elements was used by the cunning British. And quite a long time ago, back in the early 19th century. New technology came to the Russian Empire a century later. Subsequently, screw-type piles were repeatedly used for military purposes. First of all, on swampy soils, in areas where low temperature conditions are constantly observed, and other problem areas.

Today, piles are available not only to the army, but to everyone. For difficult areas, including slopes, they are a real godsend. With a fairly simple installation, pile elements allow you to create ultra-reliable foundations. The slope almost doesn't matter.

Main parameters of products

To build the foundation of a house on a slope, you need products that are produced in the form of pipes. Material of manufacture – metal. One of the sides of the elements is equipped with screw-type tips along with special blades. A head is installed in another area. It is he who sets the rotation in one direction or another. By the way, an interesting fact. The use of blades to improve work efficiency was invented by Russian specialists.

Preparation of materials and tools

Materials, tools for building a wooden bathhouse with your own hands:

jigsaw, miter saw, chainsaw;
set of chisels;
hand saw for wood;
grinder with discs;
Sander;
drill, screwdriver;
knitting wire;
fittings, roofing felt;
hammer, sledgehammer;
chopiks, flax, jute;
vapor barrier wire;
insulation, bitumen;
beams, boards, logs, beams, rafters, slats;
sand, crushed stone, cement;
shovels, concrete mixer;
roofing material.

To build a frame house, you will additionally need OSB panels.

Chisels (Photo: Instagram / woodcarvingandtools)

What about other load-bearing structures?

A columnar foundation is a good alternative to piles.

Houses have been built on slopes since time immemorial. No one had heard of any screw piles before. How did you find a way out of the situation? Pillars were used. Similar load-bearing elements are still used today. Often they even install it with their own hands, since there is nothing difficult about it.

Installation of pillars is much easier than laying tape. True, there is still one significant drawback - labor-intensive excavation work. You will have to dig a hole under each pillar element, which will take a lot of time. After installation, the pillars must also be leveled using a level. In addition to columnar bases, tape bases are used, but we talked about them at the very beginning of the article.

Guidelines for building a foundation

Any foundation on a slope is subject to high loads exerted by water that flows in fast streams. The site is on a slope, hence the rapid descent. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider the drainage complex. Otherwise, with the arrival of warmth, you will have to experience many unpleasant moments.

Some useful recommendations for constructing the foundation of a building can be found on the foundation page in Odintsovo.

It is worth thinking about normal waterproofing of the basement floor. Flooding the premises will cause a lot of trouble and, most likely, will cause expensive repairs. Don't forget about the base!

Finally, you should take care of thermal insulation. Although this type of work increases the time required to complete the work, it is completely worth the effort. What is more important, the durability of the house or the speed of construction? Time is of the essence, but there is no need to rush, like mass developers who often offer outright hackwork. Focus on quality.

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:

Mark the boundaries of future construction and trenches.
Remove all trash from the designated area, cut down trees, and uproot stumps. If possible, remove the fertile layer.
Dig trenches. Their depth depends on the freezing point of the soil. The suitable range is from 50 to 80 cm.
Place a 20 cm layer of sand at the bottom of the dug trenches, pour water over it, and tamp it down.
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.
Put together the panels into a single formwork and install them along the boundaries of the trenches. Spread with bars.
Tie a reinforcing frame from reinforcement and install it inside the trenches.
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:

Before laying the crowns, you need to cover the concrete base with liquid mastic and lay out 2 layers of roofing material.
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.
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.
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:

Cut openings in the finished log house using a chainsaw.
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.

Windows for a bathhouse (Photo: Instagram / tovary_dlya_bani_)

Ceilings and roof

Arrangement of the roof, ceilings:

Ceiling beams are fixed on top of the last crown at intervals of 60 cm from each other.
Identical pieces of boards are placed on top of the ceiling beams, which will be the rough ceiling.
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.
A vapor barrier wire is secured to the sheathing with a construction stapler.
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.

Septic tank (Photo: Instagram / aqua_search.ru)

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.

Ribbon - classic is not always suitable

Uneven terrain has never been an obstacle to construction, and with current technologies they do not pose a problem at all.

Strip bases have proven themselves to be durable load-bearing structures that are easy and relatively quick to make. Of course, they are incomparable with the installation of ready-made concrete blocks. But when needed, they cope well with loads and ensure the durability of the building.

Alas, a strip foundation on a slope is not the best option, as numerous projects have shown. This does not mean that the foundation cannot be built at all.

With the proper approach, almost any structure can be erected in areas with a large slope. It’s just that the financial costs of construction exceed all reasonable limits.

In general, forget about the tape. There are simpler technologies.

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.

Steam room (Photo: Instagram / belplotnik.by)

Internal

Features of finishing of bath rooms:

The floor, walls, and ceiling in the steam room can only be covered with clapboard.
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.

Recommendations

Tips for building a wooden house:

The height of the foundation should be more than 50 cm.
Ceiling beams should protrude beyond the boundaries of the frame on both sides by 50 cm on each edge.
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.
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.
To save money, you can assemble bath furniture yourself.
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.

About installation technology

Installation of pile elements is carried out in a short time. Under normal working conditions, it takes no more than three days. Sometimes you can really do it in a day. Compare with the same tape. Saving time resources is obvious. Another important advantage is the absence of heavy equipment, the hiring of which is quite expensive. You shouldn’t forget about nature either. Some bulky faucet can pollute the environment so much that even a year is not enough for final cleaning.

The rules by which a foundation is built on a slope establish the following requirement - piles should be mounted strictly along the perimeter. The depth is calculated in advance.

As a result, the dimensions of the pile elements differ from each other. The standard is 3-4 m. There are products of longer and shorter lengths.

The total number of screw piles depends on the load-bearing load of the structure. The latter is calculated based on many factors. These include the number of floors, materials of manufacture, snow drifts in winter, etc.

In general, the construction of a foundation on a slope comes down to the correct installation of pile elements, which, we recall, is done quickly. No formwork system or trench digging is required. You just need to mark the area and screw in the piles. All that remains is to check whether everything was done correctly, and then move on.
