- the presence of a personal bathhouse in your own yard;
- the presence of a terrace, which can serve as an ordinary gazebo, without which it is difficult to imagine summer gatherings in the yard;
- resolving the issue of family or friendly leisure activities;
- and even solving the housing problem, if you have such a need.
We offer to equip some terraces with garden barbecues, grills or barbecues for parties, picnics and just family dinners.

Visiting the bathhouse was considered in Russia not only as a way to take water procedures, but also as a form of leisure that was good for health. Therefore, owners of suburban areas are always engaged in the construction of such a building, selecting projects of bathhouses with a terrace and barbecue. Photo presented below offer ways to organize a personal space for picnics after visiting the steam room.
The design of country buildings, tailored to the individual needs of the owners, allows for optimal arrangement of space in the country house. If necessary, you can build a facility on two floors. An economic development equipped with a recreation area can significantly improve the level of quality of life in the cottage and makes it possible to organize leisure time in comfortable conditions.
How to choose the right type?
Architectural bureaus offer ready-made developments with an extension, and can also create an individual plan. When choosing the appropriate type of architectural appearance, you need to proceed from the size of the locker room, steam room, veranda, dining room, guest room and the number of people who should fit in them.
An indoor space with a total area of 8 m2 will be optimal for summer holidays. However, if you plan to invite a large number of guests, then a larger room is needed.
When developing a project, a number of nuances should be taken into account:
- seasonality of use;
- number of visitors;
- layout;
- material;
- construction cost;
- location of buildings on the site.
When choosing the appropriate type, you should take into account the intensity of use of such buildings. If you plan to steam only in summer time, then you can save on insulation and on the dressing room.
If the steam room will be used in winter period, then it is necessary to provide for a convenient entrance location at the stage of drawing development.
If you choose the right layout of the premises, you can reduce construction costs. By developing a spacious open structure for barbecue, you can save on a guest room.
Example of a terrace design Advice! If you already have ready sauna outside the city, you can build a terrace. To do this, you should consider its location. It makes no sense to install a new structure on top of an old building. You can place a covered barbecue building between the house and the bathhouse.
The arrangement of an unprotected space is chosen according to individual preferences and based on the architectural style of the entire suburban complex. The layout of the indoor facility is also important, in which it is necessary to take into account correct location barbecue, summer oven or other device for cooking. It must be remembered that smoke from the stove should not go inside.
Advice! When choosing a stove, you need to proceed from the general style of the interior. This will create a unified architectural ensemble.
Types of extensions
Usually the following are used as extensions:
- terrace;
- veranda;
- alcove.
The choice depends on a number of factors, which include:
- cost of construction work;
- individual preferences;
- architectural style;
- placement location.
The terrace is usually made open. It does not require much construction buried foundation. The construction of such an extension will cost less than the construction of a veranda or gazebo.
The veranda has its advantages. It is built closed, so it can be well insulated and used throughout the year. Gazebos with a specially designed grill area are more expensive, as they require the use of a large number of decorative elements, building materials And special design drawings.
The owner of the dacha needs to choose the optimal development option for him, which will be used as a place for leisure.
Layout and location
Before you start building a gazebo, you should find a suitable location for it. Usually it is done along the entire facade of the building. This arrangement allows you to save on materials and makes movement more comfortable for those leaving the steam room. In this type of design, there is no need to talk about a shortage of space for cooking and dining. With this placement, the veranda or terrace can be partially open or partially closed. Using external walls allows you to save on building materials. The choice of a suitable layout will ensure the construction of an object of architectural appearance that is in the general style of the entire complex of buildings.
The option of erecting a structure along one of the walls is also used. This type of layout is suitable for cases where there is a shortage of space. When creating optimal zoning, you need to provide places for eating and preparing food, and for entertainment. To do this, you must correctly determine the dimensions of the object being built at the dacha.
You can use a corner construction option. In this case, the stove will be installed on the most covered area. The corner model is used when there is a shortage of adjacent territory in the country.
In some cases, a covered barbecue area is built separately, close to bath complex. Then there is a small transition between the steam room and the resting place. This option is suitable for summer use.
Pile foundation Individual projects
When developing individual projects, architects will be able to take into account all the customer’s preferences, the features of the layout of the dacha area and the size of the buildings. Using modern finishing materials, specialists create original solutions for an entertainment area in the country. So, you can install French glass, and thereby partially turn it into a veranda.
Multi-level structures are used when the site is created from several floors. This option is good for a small area. For a classic Russian-style steam room they offer standard project, which provides guest apartments, a place to relax, prepare barbecue and a changing room where clothes are left before washing. Such a space can be used for household needs when the bathhouse is not heated. You can make the object two-story. In this case, the guest rooms are located on the top floor.
Common mistakes
For friendly get-togethers at the end of the work week, there is nothing better than a comfortable terrace or gazebo, where you can gather with friends after a steam bath, drink aromatic tea, and taste fresh, just-cooked meat dishes on a barbecue or grill installed nearby. To receive guests or have fun family picnics with your relatives, you need to properly build a sauna log house, in which there would be a place for a steam room, a relaxation room, a closed or open space for a barbecue.
When choosing a suitable project, dacha owners forget to take into account how often the object will be used. In the case of year-round use of the soap bar, you will have to take care of the heat capacity of the structure and the comfort of visitors who will need to undress and dress warm, and not in the cold.
Today, they often make an open structure with a low fence. Paving slabs or stone are used for landscaping. When constructing such objects, owners forget about the need to install the correct pile foundation for the terrace, which would give the entire object greater stability and protect it from swelling of the soil in winter.
Important! To ensure that the paving slabs do not deteriorate after the first winter, it is necessary to construct a shallow slab foundation for such buildings. Insulation is laid on the slabs, and only after that can installation be carried out paving slabs.
The disadvantage of a simple pile foundation is the lack of a solid foundation and insulation that protect the structure from destruction.
Such a base is not suitable for swelling soils and soils with close groundwater. A lightweight pile foundation can only be made on dry sandy soils.
Stove installation
For rational use of heat, it is necessary to install the stove so that it can heat all rooms adjacent to the steam room, including extensions if they are closed.
For winter operation For a country steam room and adjacent premises, it is necessary to provide for the installation of heating for guest rooms, since the heat of one stove will not be enough in the cold season to keep the rooms in good condition. During off-season operation of the facility, a vestibule is installed, which protects the entire space from the cold and saves fuel consumption.
The stove in such a structure can be heated with wood, coal or gas. The choice of heating depends on the budget of the dacha owner and the designer’s intentions.
The fireplace for cooking on the site must have an open fire, as required for barbecue and grilling. With the help of a detailed plan, the issue of arranging the area around the steam room outside the city is taken into account. If everything is provided for at the development stage technical documents, then you can wisely invest money in improving your own suburban area and improving their living conditions there.
Today people prefer to choose a relaxation complex with a steam room in Russian style, made of rounded logs and modern building materials. Saunas are built less often, but wood is also chosen as a material for them. Wood has many advantages: it is environmentally friendly, durable and fits into various architectural styles. Therefore, wooden building materials are used for the construction of such structures at dachas and country cottages.
The bathhouse in the Russian tradition is not only water procedures, but also a form of leisure time loved by many of our compatriots. In the bathhouse it is pleasant to sit with friends after a busy work week, relax with the whole family, fully cleanse the pores of the body and relieve accumulated psychological fatigue. In addition to relaxing together with tea parties and barbecues, the bathhouse often hosts get-togethers for men and women based on their interests. For example, a group of men will be interested in discussing their affairs, while women arrange whole cosmetic rituals in the bathhouse that are not inferior to spa salons.
To conduct such versatile leisure activities, it is necessary that the bathhouse, in addition to a steam room, washing room and changing room, also have a spacious place for relaxation. Such a place could be a functional veranda located under the same roof as the bathhouse building.
Advantages of baths with a veranda
One of the main advantages is saving square meters of land. With a veranda attached to the bathhouse, you can eliminate additional buildings on the site, freeing up space for flower beds or garden crops. Can sit on the veranda summer cuisine, gazebo, barbecue area or small pool.
Combining several functional objects under one roof will significantly reduce construction costs and materials. A roofing sheet for a combined building will cost less than for several structures. In addition, the construction of a bathhouse with a veranda will allow for a uniform design for the entire mini-complex.
From the point of view of convenience, such a mini-sauna complex will allow you to spend full-fledged leisure time in one place, without moving from building to building.
Building options
What the veranda attached to the bathhouse will look like depends on the taste of the customer, his financial capabilities and the availability of free space on the site. Architectural agencies offer many finished projects for every taste, and will also help you develop a computer version upon individual request.
Even if you are going to build a bathhouse with a veranda with your own hands, viewing such a visual project will not be superfluous.
Let's look at the most common types of projects.
- Bathhouse as a separate building. In this case, the veranda can be located on any side of the bathhouse building or even along it. It all depends on the location of the bathhouse itself and the intended functions of the veranda.
If the extension is located on the side of the building, then a small open or closed passage may lead to it. In the case of two-story buildings, the veranda can be located on the second floor, which will significantly save space on the site.
- Corner bath with veranda- an example of compactness and spaciousness of the structure. It can occupy the darkest corner of the site, not used for planting plants. Thanks to the angular shape, there will be enough space inside the room to accommodate both the bathhouse itself and the adjacent recreation area.
In addition, the corner location of a bathhouse with a veranda can give a complete look to the architectural composition of the entire site.
- Bathhouse attached to the house. This method of planning allows you to increase the area of the house, while reducing the development of the site itself. The veranda in this construction option serves as an excellent resting place for two buildings at once - a house and a bathhouse. But it is worth remembering that this option requires additional costs for waterproofing and ventilation in order to avoid dampness in the house.
The standard and most successful parameters for verandas are 3x6, 5x6, 4x8, 5x4 meters.
Types and shapes of verandas
The veranda is covered summer extension to the house, in a classic design, having walls, window openings, a foundation and a roof. Verandas can be either open or closed.
Open verandas are different in that they can have only one wall on the side of the house and a roof. They are simpler in design and represent a spacious porch with railings and supporting pillars. Enclosed veranda- This is a summer unheated recreation room, protected by walls and windows from precipitation and wind.
When designing, it would not be superfluous to consider various forms of verandas. Instead of the traditional rectangular or square shape, you can choose semicircular, oval or even triangular structures of original design. Such a building will become an architectural highlight in landscape design plot and non-standard place for gathering guests.
Project options
- Classic bathhouse with veranda. A separate bathhouse will become a leisure center for the whole family if you include a spacious veranda in the construction project in advance. Here you can organize family celebrations, place sofas or wicker furniture, organize a barbecue or billiards area.
- Two-story bathhouse. In this version, the veranda can be narrow room, intended only for climbing to the second floor to the rest room. If a bathhouse of this type is intended primarily for leisure, then a glazed veranda with a staircase leading to the second floor will decorate the area. For a recreation room it is not necessary to add a full second floor; you can get by with a spacious attic under pitched roof and one attached wall above the bathhouse.
A bathhouse with a narrow veranda and attic significantly saves square meters of land.
- Bathhouse with summer kitchen. An excellent option for small plots of land or for owners who have not yet completed construction of the main house. This bath is suitable for permanent residence V summer period and will contain all the necessary household items.
The summer kitchen is used for cooking and eating, and the bathhouse with steam room is used for water treatments. In the veranda-kitchen you can organize a place to relax and sleep.
- Bathhouse with swimming pool. Shower or dousing cold water do not bring as much joy as the opportunity to plunge into the water immediately after the steam room. If there is no body of water nearby, even the simplest container of water can provide this opportunity. A small pool can be installed directly in the recess of the veranda. Construction of a full-fledged pool from foam blocks is a technically complex task, requiring compliance with many nuances and the development of a separate project. You can simplify the task by choosing a purchased plastic font for 10-20 square meters. meters.
Available for sale plastic containers the most different forms and sizes that can fit into any room. As a rule, they come with all the necessary accessories - shelves, ladders, rugs.
Veranda layout
When considering various designs of bathhouses with a veranda, you should pay special attention to the location of the extension and its orientation to the cardinal points. The comfort and functionality of this room will depend on this. Decide on the main purpose of the veranda as a space for leisure. Please note that there will be too much sun on the veranda on the south and south-west side, and this may be inconvenient for a comfortable stay. At the same time, the south side for the veranda and the entrance to the bathhouse will be a salvation from northern winds and snow drifts in the winter season.
Veranda windows facing west will provide longer solar lighting in the summer, because the bath is most often started in the evening.
To install a barbecue, determine the main wind direction in your area. It is advisable that the veranda be protected from gusts of wind by the structure of the bathhouse.
Another important detail when choosing the location of the veranda is aesthetic perception. When relaxing on the veranda, it is better to admire the picturesque landscape than the view of a fence or utility structures.
Construction of a building
As a rule, a veranda under the same roof as a bathhouse is planned at the project stage, and the materials chosen for it are the same as for the bathhouse. But it is not required condition- one is enough common roof and foundation, but the veranda itself can be, for example, wooden against the background of a brick bathhouse building.
It should be remembered that the addition of a veranda from a different material is only possible during the transition from heavy to light materials. Can be attached lightweight design from wood to brick bath, but not the other way around.
Another option is an extension to an already finished bathhouse., for example, in a situation where the roof of a bathhouse requires repair and replacement. When planning to change the roof, you can at the same time expand the bath space by adding the construction of a veranda to the project.
Foundation for the veranda to the bathhouse
Laying the foundation is the most critical moment of construction, on which the durability of the structure depends. Foundation laying work begins with determining the level groundwater and the degree of soil heaving.
This is especially important if the veranda is built after the construction of the bathhouse, with a separate foundation. It happens that a few meters from the main foundation the soil has a different structure and a close flow of water, and this can lead to erosion of the base and cracks in the walls.
The foundation for a veranda and bathhouse can be of several types.
- Tape– the most economical option, suitable for stable soil, withstands heavy structures well. The installation process consists of creating a trench around the perimeter of the proposed structure, installing simple formwork from scrap materials, laying a reinforcing frame and pouring a concrete mixture. After the concrete has completely hardened, you can begin building the walls.
- Columnar. Ready-made ones are dug into a pit prepared in advance. concrete blocks or pillars made of bricks. A “cushion” of crushed stone and sand is lined at the bottom of the pit, the pillars are compacted tightly, and the lower part of the pillars is poured bitumen mastic. The pillars must be at the same height and stand no further than 2 meters from each other. The space between the pillars is filled with crushed stone. Next, as in the first case, concrete is poured.
- Pile. This method is suitable for problem soils with high level groundwater. Wells are drilled at the points planned by the project, waterproofing is laid in the form of a roofing felt cone, and concrete is poured. On the surface, the piles are connected to each other by a grillage - a reinforced concrete frame.
- Pile-screw. Another simple method that involves screwing it into the soil metal pipes with screw threads on the tips. It is important that the pipes are coated with an anti-corrosion compound.
Floors
The subfloor is laid on a completely dry concrete base. It is best to use wood with a deformation gap, since this material tends to expand due to temperature changes.
The wood must be treated with an antiseptic and water-repellent compounds. Usually, construction market offers many options for already impregnated and treated subfloor boards.
When choosing a finishing flooring attention should be paid to wear-resistant, frost-resistant and non-slip materials. The bathhouse is heated only during certain periods, and in the winter season it is subject to freezing. Ordinary wood can crack in cold weather, and tiles are not always suitable for baths due to increased slipperiness. The best option there will be a choice of lining or decking boards from a certain type of wood, already treated with special compounds.
For open terraces Larch or pine wood is usually used. Thanks to its resinous properties, it does not rot or lose strength, which significantly extends the life of the floor. Also on sale are combined options based on wood and polymers.
If you are planning a place for a barbecue on the veranda, you must make a base for the barbecue in advance, observing all fire safety rules, as when installing a stove in a bathhouse.
Walls
The frame of the veranda is erected on a finished foundation and may consist of various materials: prefabricated metal profiles, timber beams, foam blocks, building bricks. The choice of material largely depends on the type of veranda itself. For open type A light wooden frame is sufficient, but a closed, warm structure will require solid walls and insulation.
Verandas are often glazed to the maximum or protected from the wind. and drafts with transparent polycarbonate. Window openings can completely replace walls in the manner of “French windows” from floor to ceiling, or be partially erected, for example, starting from the railing at waist level. An interesting option is to glaze part of the openings with stained glass mosaics. This gives the veranda original look and protects from the direct rays of the summer sun.
In terms of quality, practicality, and aesthetic characteristics, a bathhouse made from wood beams is practically no different from one built from rounded logs, but the construction process is much simpler and does not require special skill.
A wooden bathhouse is considered truly Russian, since once upon a time in Rus' every building was erected without the use of nails, but as efficiently as possible.
So, let's talk about building a bathhouse from natural timber.
What are the criteria for selecting timber for a steam room?
One of the significant stages in the construction of a bathhouse is, of course, the choice of massif. After all, the characteristics of the bath directly depend on this.
First of all, pay special attention to the absence of any cracks in the logs, which, when expanded in the future, will become the cause of defects and rotting of the massif during shrinkage.
In addition, the wood should not have blue highlights, indicating internal rotting, which is associated with the presence of fungi.
It is not recommended to build a building from such material. In addition, the timber is defective if there is a wormhole on it.
Wherein good timber absolutely smooth. If there are defects, as well as various distortions, then this is not in the best possible way will affect the arrangement of the crowns, so the construction of the steam room can take a long period of time.
There are several types of timber: solid and profiled. The second option is equipped with tenons and grooves that can be ground. Such parts are easier to connect to each other.
The most important advantage is that such walls are not susceptible to the adverse effects of moisture. As for the disadvantages, the material has a low degree of fire resistance, which means it must be subjected to additional processing with propylene.
Solid timber is also used in construction. However, it does not look attractive in appearance, so it is covered with siding.
Types of modern baths
Today there is a variety of species modern baths, namely:
With attic
This is one of the common options for a steam room with an attic roof and a veranda. At the top of the structure there is a bedroom where you can relax comfortably after taking a bath.
And the veranda is a great place where you can drink a cup of aromatic tea.
With terrace
Are you planning to build a barbecue in your country house? Then build a steam room with a terrace where you can install a stove directly. After time, you can create a pond in front of the steam room.
With veranda
A bathhouse with a spacious veranda is considered one of the simplest structures.
In this case, it is preferable to glaze the veranda and use it as a summer recreation area or kitchen space.
With porch
Are you a fan of the true Russian bathhouse? Then build it with a spacious porch, which is not just beautiful, but also as practical as possible.
A small table, a traditional samovar and the splendor of the surrounding nature.
With a veranda and a spacious roof
Such a steam room has great advantages - a covered veranda, as well as a wide attic area. IN this option you will get a small foundation.
Foundation
A long-lasting bathhouse, created from timber, can be erected on a strip or columnar foundation.
For arranging the foundation belt type formwork is being built and poured concrete mixture. Inside the foundation there will be a strip of sand or crushed stone.
A couple of weeks after the concrete has completely hardened, you can begin laying the frame.
To create a columnar foundation, it is necessary to place brick pillars, under each of which a concrete cushion is placed to prevent subsidence.
However, no matter what type of foundation you choose, it is important to strengthen it with reinforcement for durability.
You also cannot do without practical waterproofing created between the original crown and the base. For these purposes, bitumen is applied to the foundation surface in molten form, which is laid with an even layer of roofing material. As soon as it hardens, the procedure must be repeated.
If you have decided to build a reliable and beautiful bathhouse, then be sure to get a project and, based on our recommendations, make your dreams come true.

The relaxation room in the bathhouse has become the same important part like a steam room. During bath procedures, the effects alternate high temperatures saunas with intervals to restore the body between visits to the steam room. The rest room is designed to make these breaks comfortable. When planning to build a bathhouse, you should definitely allocate a room for restoration.
Advice from professionals will tell you how to choose the right project wisely.
Peculiarities
Bathhouse designs with a relaxation room can be divided into three groups. The first group is traditional one-story baths. They are built from capital building materials with low thermal conductivity and have a standard set of premises: there is a steam room, a shower room, a relaxation room, a dressing room, and sometimes a terrace.
The relaxation room is located on the ground floor next to the steam room and washroom and combines the functions of a locker room. This is the most convenient option, which allows you to maintain optimal temperature in all rooms, since the stove evenly heats all adjacent rooms with steam supplied to the sauna compartment.
This layout allows you to place the furnace firebox both in the steam room, which is not always convenient, and in the relaxation room.
The stoker is in comfortable temperature, besides, it is easier to remove debris after kindling. Modern technological furnaces long burning can have a glass screen, which allows you to admire the play of the flame while relaxing, creating a pleasant fireplace atmosphere and giving living warmth to the inhabitants of the room. Simple layout, however, includes everything necessary for bath procedures and has great variability in area.
The minimum building area is from 16 square meters. meters, which is convenient for small areas, the maximum is at the request of the owner. This option does not require large investments due to the energy intensity of heating.
The second group is projects with a recreation room located in the attic or on the second floor. This will require the construction of a second floor or roof insulation., which will entail additional consumption of materials, the foundation will need to be strengthened to increase the load-bearing load. This option is convenient for small building areas.
On the ground floor there is a dressing room, a locker room, a steam room, and a wash room. On the second floor there is a rest room with or without a balcony. It will be necessary to allocate space for flight of stairs. Beautiful spiral staircase can decorate the interior of the bathhouse.
The third group of projects involves moving the relaxation room onto the terrace. This layout is convenient for summer use. In the cold season, the terrace will need to be glazed and a heating system needs to be thought through. However, this arrangement of the rest room provides a lot of scope for implementing design solutions.
A panoramic view of the landscape adds aesthetic pleasure to moments of relaxation.
The choice of layout depends on the seasonal use of the bathhouse. The first and second group of projects are suitable for year-round use. In summer, it is enough to have a rest room under a canopy with flexible glazing made of film or polycarbonate for a budget option.
The availability of free space on the site is of great importance, and if it is not enough, then raising a recreation room to the attic would be a good solution. Heating the second floor in the cold season requires the installation of an air or water circuit. Installing a long-burning stove with a convector on the ground floor can solve this problem.
The location of the bathhouse on the site must meet fire safety standards and ease of use. It is advisable to orient the windows of the rest room towards an attractive view. It's nice to see beautiful landscapes before your eyes, and not a fence or a neighbor's shed.
It is advisable to choose an elevated area for good ventilation and water drainage. The proximity of an artificial or natural body of water can be an effective addition.
Particular attention is paid to materials for the construction of a bathhouse. Traditionally, preference is given to natural wood in the form of timber or rounded logs of linden, aspen, and cedar.
Pine is more affordable and has beautiful drawing fibers of knotty wood and is a popular material for a bathhouse in the country. Its disadvantage is the porous structure of the wood, which greatly changes its performance due to heat and high humidity, so in the steam room and shower, pine needs to be sheathed with a hardwood slats, and For a relaxation room, pine with its pleasant smell and aesthetic appearance will be the optimal solution.
Brick is a more expensive material, but it has the best durability and resistance to temperature changes.
A budget building can also be built from foam blocks. The construction of a bathhouse from blocks can be done with your own hands, even without special knowledge.
Interior sheathed with a block house, finished with tiles or natural stone.
The design of the rest room involves following a certain style, depending on the design, finishing materials are selected.
Subtleties of design
Designing a bathhouse yourself is an exciting activity. To do this, you need to stock up on paper, pencil and ruler.
For a family of 4-5 people and several guests, the optimal size is a bathhouse of 6x6 meters with an attic.. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, steam room, shower room with toilet, relaxation room or living room. The recreation room can be supplemented with a kitchen, and the second floor is reserved for leisure and extra seats to accommodate guests or family members. The entrance area of the second floor with an area of 18 meters can be occupied by a studio or billiard room. Behind it there are two symmetrical bedrooms or rooms for children of 9 square meters. meters.
The functionality of the bathhouse is significantly expanded, and for this there is no need to build big house. The compact layout with a bathroom satisfies the needs of the average family for a country holiday.
With terrace
A sauna with a terrace is an excellent option for summer meals on fresh air after bath procedures.
