Beautiful bathhouse with a terrace. How to attach a veranda to a bathhouse: design, materials, construction stages from foundation to glazing. Log baths

A terrace is a platform with decking, which is built on a prepared foundation. There are many types and varieties of this architectural addition:

It can be located near the house, or it can be completely unconnected with it, or connected by a path.
Maybe without a roof - then they say that it is open. Or with a roof - covered.
May or may not have walls. The walls can be solid or in the form of a fence.
There are single or multi-level ones.

If we talk about terraces that are adjacent to the house, then they can be side and front, and can cover one, two, three or four sides. Sometimes they have an irregular shape. They can be under the same roof with the main building or have their own.

If you consider that very different materials can be used in manufacturing, it is clear that there are simply countless variations.

Building a terrace in front of the bathhouse or next to it is not so difficult. In general, most often the difficulty is caused by the lack of a project. If funds allow, it is better to order it, describing in detail what and how you imagine, what you want to achieve, and what things you absolutely do not like. If it is impossible to order the production of a personal project, there is an option to find one of the ready-made ones and slightly adjust it to suit your own needs. Here are several projects of bathhouses with different terraces that are easy to make with your own hands.

Bathhouse 4 x 4.5 with terrace

According to the project, the bathhouse consists of three rooms, with a terrace attached to it on a separate disconnected foundation (read about one of the options for its construction below). There are three rooms in the bathhouse building:

The parameters of the premises can be changed by moving the partition separating the rest room. If the bathhouse is being built for a dry-air sauna, a large volume of the steam room is not needed: calculate the number of people who should fit in one session, then calculate the area of the shelves for their comfortable arrangement: for “sitting” places you can take 1-1.2 meters per person, “lying” - 2.1-1.2 m. Shelf width - 0.7-0.9 m. Calculate the area of the shelves, add space for the stove and its fence and some area for free movement. Get the required area.

The calculation of the area of the steam room in a Russian bathhouse is similar, but if there is no need to have “lying down” places in a sauna - they usually only sit there, then in a Russian steam room they are required. Another difference is that the fencing of the sauna stove is wooden structure, which prevents you from touching the hot walls. In a Russian steam room, if they install a metal stove, they must close it, and these are completely different dimensions. Therefore, a larger area needs to be allocated.

Using such a bathhouse in winter will not be comfortable: entering the rest room directly from the street and the cold air will be a clear hindrance. To eliminate this drawback, you can either fence off part of the rest room as a vestibule, or make part of the veranda closed. The second option looks preferable due to the small size of the premises. But then you need to either make an entrance from the other side, or move the doors.

Bathhouse project 6 by 6 with an open terrace

This layout option requires the same number of rooms. It’s just that their area has become larger: now the dimensions allow it. In this option, you can already fence off a small room for a locker room. And for winter use you will need to organize a vestibule somewhere.

If there is still an opportunity to add a little dimensions, you can already “fit in” the bathroom. It will turn out to be a guest one house-bath, especially if you do two-story bathhouse. One of the options, however, on the same floor, is located in the photo below. Large quantity

What materials are they built from?

To cover the terrace, you can use any building material: wood, brick, building blocks, natural or artificial stone, paving, ceramic, porcelain tiles, natural or artificial stone, etc.

Despite the fact that outdoor wood is not the easiest material to use, decks are most often made of wood. Using pine and spruce is a constant headache: maintenance and repairs need to be done very often. Harder wood is more expensive, but lasts longer and is less of a hassle.

Near brick bath A terrace with a fence also made of brick looks good; in this case, it would be rational to lay out the terrace itself with tiles or stone. Much more practical option. However, for such sites it will be necessary to pour a concrete slab.

If your soil is dry and not prone to heaving, it will be enough to fill it with crushed stone and sand. It will be possible to lay paving slabs. She is different forms and colors, so it can also look more than interesting.

The terrace with laid paving slabs looks very good. You can combine it with In this case, you will kill two birds with one stone

How to make a wooden terrace on a pile foundation

The most problematic option is wood. If you plan to use it, then you need to choose from varieties that tolerate being outdoors well. It also requires treatment with protective impregnations, varnishing or painting.

Preparing piles

For creating normal conditions operation for wooden terraces, it is necessary to think through the design so that water does not accumulate under the structure. In general, it is advisable to make the platform made of wood raised above the ground level so that the boards below are well blown and ventilated. Therefore, most often for such structures they make piles or columnar foundation. Moreover, the fertile layer under the terrace is removed, the remaining soil is leveled and compacted, and then covered with crushed stone and also compacted. This is done to prevent the vegetation from rotting and spreading “odors” and spores.

The installation step of the posts is at least 1-1.5 meters - this way the boards will not sag. Material of manufacture - any. You can drive asbestos or iron pipes into the ground and pour concrete into them. This is a very durable, but not cheap option.

Roofing felt piles

Much less funds(but more labor) will require piles with roofing felt formwork.

Ruberoid is rolled into round columns in two or three layers. Diameter - 20-22 cm, height - about 1 meter (70 cm is recessed in the ground, 30 cm is on top). This is for soils with an average tendency to heave. In order not to have to worry about measuring the diameter of this formwork, you can use a pattern. If you find a water bottle of a suitable diameter (these are nine-liter containers), the work will be simple: screw on the roofing material, secure it with tape, and pull out the “pattern” by the handle.

It is more convenient to fasten with tape, as usual. It just doesn’t want to stick to the powder. To ensure adhesion, remove the crumbs in the right places with a brush and wipe the cleaned area with white spirit. Once dry, the hold is excellent. So prepare the required number of columns.

Using a drill, make the required number of recesses, slightly larger in diameter than the molded posts and 25 cm deeper. These 25 cm are used to construct the pillow: they are covered with a 15 cm layer of crushed stone and compacted. Sand is added, which is also compacted.

Then formwork is installed in the prepared pits. All columns must be leveled. This can be done using two rods driven along the edges of the planned terrace and a cord stretched between them. Its verticality can be checked by adjusting the height of the rods if necessary. The second way is to set the height of the bars using a hydraulic level (you can also use a laser level, but it’s difficult to work with outdoors - the beam is visible only in the evening or in cloudy weather). After fiddling with positioning the cord, you will then quickly bring all the columns in one row to the same height. Repeat the procedure in the following.

How to attach support pillars to concrete piles - one of the options

The columns also need to be placed vertically. You can't do without it. It’s a simple tool, but nothing better has been invented yet.

Next, to increase the strength, it is advisable to insert several reinforcement bars inside - 2-3 per column. You can use smooth rods with a diameter of 8-10 mm. Then pour concrete inside. It needs to be compacted, since it is not worth knocking on the roofing felt; you will need to take a long metal rod and bayonet it (pierce it through and pull it a little from side to side). As a result of such actions, the level of concrete will become a little lower - air will escape, you will have to add a little. Everything becomes easier if you have a handheld or mobile submersible. When the solution has set, you can begin further work.

Brick pillars

On heaving soils, the posts can simply be squeezed out, causing the terrace to slide down. What is needed here is a wider platform that will stabilize the situation. For such a foundation, small pits are dug, measuring 50*50 or 60*60 cm. The soil is compacted in them, crushed stone is poured, it is also compacted, and formwork is installed from boards 20-25 cm high.

Several pieces of reinforcement are laid on the halves of the bricks - lengthwise and crosswise - to form a cage (2-3 rods each). A pipe is inserted into the middle (verticality is checked). All this is filled with concrete (maybe with crushed stone). Thickness - 20 cm.

After the mortar has set, a brick column is made around the pipe. The height is set just below the required flooring height - leaving room for the bottom trim.

How to make a bottom harness

There are two options for installing support pillars:

The first method is used most often, but the second also occurs. It requires a little less cost, but there will be more fuss with laying the logs.

When making the lower trim, a beam of 100*75 mm, 75*75 mm or wider is used - it depends on the size of the terrace and the load on it. They are treated with antibacterial impregnations, laid on a concrete column covered with a layer of waterproofing (lay twice folded roofing material or coat with mastic or liquid waterproofing).

The beams cost a lot, but you can cheat by making a spliced beam from boards. It is not suitable for support pillars - appearance not the same, but for lags it is even better, since it has increased strength. How to make timber from boards:

Regardless of the chosen method, all wooden elements must be impregnated with protective and antifungal compounds. To improve their appearance and extend their service life, they are coated with varnish. It is better to use compositions for external use, and if we talk about varnishes, then yacht varnish is preferable - it is well adapted to a humid environment and protects the wood from the effects of salts.

It is possible to create a frame made of metal. You can use a powerful corner or a square pipe. This base is more reliable and durable. It is well primed, then carefully painted and will serve for decades. To prevent the board from being damaged upon contact with metal, a waterproofing material, such as TechnoNIKOL, etc., is glued to the metal. When attaching the flooring, you will have to drill holes - it is unlikely that you will be able to screw in the screws directly.

Flooring

After making and securing the strapping, you can begin making the flooring. Usually used edged board. There is a special terrace board- it has not a flat, but a wavy front surface, but it is more often laid around fonts or pools built on the terrace. The wavy surface, even when wet, does not allow slipping, and if you make a slight slope, the water will quickly drain without lingering on the flooring.

The thickness of the board, as for the floor, is rarely thinner than 20 mm, although its thickness depends on the distance between the piles. At a distance of 1.5 meters, the thickness of the board is 25 mm, then it will not sag when walking.

Tile terrace

If you decide to make a platform not from wood, but from tiles, you can go in several ways. It all depends on how you imagine your terrace.

If you are satisfied paving slabs as a coating, the technology can be greatly simplified. The process is very similar to the device. The technology is similar, you can use the same techniques.

Simple option

The simplest, but very reliable and effective option is using profiled membranes and geotextiles. In this case, the soil is removed to the width of the future terrace, the depth is small - 20-25 cm is enough. If there is a roof on top, the site can be made level; if a roof is not provided, a slope of 3-5 cm is formed for every meter (from the foundation).

If precipitation in the region is heavy and subsoil water is close, it is better to lay a drainage pipe along the edge of the terrace. This is a special corrugated pipe with holes. A small recess is dug for it (about half the diameter), where it is placed. The end of the drainage pipe is led into a drainage well or into the sewer system.

To prevent plants from sprouting under the coating, they are treated with special chemicals. After processing, a profiled membrane is spread over the entire width. If you are laying drainage, the edge of the membrane should fit into the dug groove, reaching its opposite edge. A drainage pipe is placed on the membrane. Now all the moisture will roll down the film and get into it.

On the other hand, near the house, a membrane of 10-15 cm is placed on the wall. They fix it there. A layer of geotextile is rolled out on top. He is also lifted onto the wall. Both films can be secured with a clamping bar. The second edge of the geotextile ends above drainage pipe(it is not recorded).

Now pour a layer of crushed stone of large and medium fractions. A curb stone is installed along the edge of the site (not above the drainage pipe, but closer to the house). The crushed stone is compacted well (preferably with a vibrating plate, but do not compact it over the pipe with a plate). A layer of sand is poured on top, leveled, spilled with water and compacted. You can already lay tiles on it.

The thickness of the layers is 10-15 cm. The depth of the pit for the terrace is selected so that the tiles are laid at the required height. It is difficult to say exactly, since the tiles can be of different thicknesses. Based on the purchased coating, calculate the required depth of the pit around the house.

One “but”: the described method is suitable for the case when the foundation and base are insulated. If there is no insulation, half the sand is poured onto the crushed stone, slabs of extruded polystyrene foam are laid out, then sand is added, and then the tiles are laid on it. At the same time, the foundation of the house is also covered with expanded polystyrene slabs to the entire depth of the dug pit.

The relaxation room in the bathhouse has become as important a part as the 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 at a comfortable temperature, and it is also easier to remove debris after kindling. Modern, technologically advanced long-burning stoves 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. The 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 placement of a bathhouse on the site must meet the standards fire safety 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, has a beautiful pattern of knotty wood fibers and is a popular material for a summer bathhouse. 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. Entrance area The second floor, with an area of 18 meters, can be used as 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 you do not need to build a large house. The compact layout with a bathroom satisfies the needs of the average family for a country holiday.

With terrace

Bathhouse with terrace – great option for summer meals in the fresh air after bath procedures. A barbecue grill can be placed on the area in front of the bathhouse or a grill area can be added to the veranda space. To do this, the size of the terrace must be increased so as to provide free access to the brazier and avoid smoke. dining table and windows.

The minimum distance between the stove and the table must be at least 2 meters. A ready-made metal brazier is installed or a stone brazier is built from bricks with a chimney. For such a barbecue, a separate foundation is erected, which is taken into account at the design stage.

It is better to make the floor of the terrace from paving slabs or sandstone if the terrace is open. A wooden floor is also used for a glazed terrace.. Glazing is made of sliding aluminum or plastic frames. Plastic frames used for warm glazing. Lightweight aluminum structures provide protection from the elements, but the temperature inside the enclosed space will only be a couple of degrees higher than outside.

Bathhouse with barbecue and panoramic glazing on the veranda will become a place of attraction for household members after a working week.

With swimming pool

The benefits of bath procedures will increase many times over when arranging a swimming pool or plunge pool in the relaxation room. The pool is located near the shower room.

The pool bowl is made of concrete and finished with tiles.

The tiles are matched to match general finishing rest rooms. Floral patterns and mosaics will add an oriental flavor. For a Russian-style bathhouse, stone, brick and wooden sides are suitable.

In one-story bathhouses, a complex of a terrace with a plunge pool under a canopy is often designed. The font is made of wood and placed on a wooden platform in the fresh air.

In the Japanese version, the hot tub is heated with electric heating elements, which are built into the housing. Combining a recreation area with a bathhouse, a ready-made frame pool is installed for summer swimming or a stationary pool is erected, with sun loungers or beach chairs placed nearby.

The reservoir can have strict geometric outlines or be close to its natural shape. In this case, the shore is decorated with pebbles and plants: hosta, astilbe, and cereals. The bathhouse with a swimming pool on the terrace is protected from prying eyes by a hedge from flowering shrubs or vines on supports.

A comprehensive recreation area requires good lighting, as it is used in the evening.

Lighting the area with electricity is done if there are communications; a more economical option is lighting with LEDs or solar-powered lanterns.

Small room

Small baths cannot boast of a large number of rooms, so they often have a shower in the relaxation room. When decorating premises with such a planning solution, it is necessary to take into account high humidity and select appropriate materials: tiles, plastic panels, natural or artificial stone.

The shower must be separated from the relaxation area with a glass or plastic partition so that splashes do not disturb vacationers.

It is preferable to purchase furniture from moisture-resistant materials. Correct selection finishing will make using the shower convenient, and staying in the rest room will be comfortable.

Design

The design of the rest room is determined by the chosen design style. For finishing the bath, it is better to select natural materials that are resistant to moisture. It is convenient to keep all rooms clean if the space is not cluttered with unnecessary objects and the surfaces are easy to clean. The design of the rest room is determined by the chosen design style.

Rural or Russian style

The direction involves the use of natural wood for covering walls and floors. The wood is treated with special anti-fungal compounds and coated with oil or wax. The natural color of wood gives the interior a light tone, which visually increases the space.

It looks interesting to use unedged boards for wall cladding, which are cleared of bark and sanded. The room takes on brutal features.

This inexpensive finish provides thermal insulation and an aesthetic accent.

The walls can be lined with softwood clapboards and decorated with carvings.

The furniture for such a relaxation room is made with your own hands from solid pine or purchased ready-made and complemented with decor from relief images on wood with a bathhouse theme. Log walls look beautiful as a symbol of traditional Russian culture. For budget options use a block house made of plastic, imitating various types of wood.

Scandinavian style

The optimal combination of functionality and simplicity. The decoration prevails White color with brown or black structural elements.

The main materials are wood and glass. The entire color scheme is calm, and the geometric theme can be seen everywhere. The use of natural or artificial stone is appropriate here; a panel made from wood cuts looks original. The entire furnishings are practical and durable.

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. The veranda can accommodate a summer kitchen, a gazebo, a barbecue area or a small swimming 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 a variety of ready-made projects for every taste, and will also help 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 can 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 bathhouse 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 differ 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. A closed veranda 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 the landscape design of the site and a 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 embodiment, the veranda can be a 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. Such a bathhouse is suitable for permanent residence in the summer and will accommodate all the necessary household elements.

The summer kitchen is used for preparing and eating food, 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. A shower cabin or dousing with cold water does 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. Small size the 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 that requires compliance with many nuances and development separate project. You can simplify the task by choosing a purchased plastic font for 10-20 square meters. meters.

There are plastic containers on sale in a variety of shapes 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 attention Special attention the location of the extension, 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 southern side for the veranda and the entrance to the bathhouse will become a salvation from northern winds and snow drifts into winter time of the year.

The windows of the veranda facing west will provide longer sunlight in the summer, because the bathhouse 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 one important detail when choosing the location of the veranda - 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 this is not a prerequisite - one common roof and foundation is quite enough, but the veranda itself can be, for example, wooden against the backdrop 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 lightweight materials. You can attach a light wooden structure to a brick bathhouse, but not vice versa.

Another option is an extension to an already ready sauna , 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. Work on laying the foundation begins with determining the groundwater level 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 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 filled with 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 problematic soils with high groundwater levels. 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 involves screwing metal pipes with screw threads on the tips into the soil. 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. As a rule, the construction market offers many options for already impregnated and treated subfloor boards.

When choosing a finished floor covering, you should pay attention 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 would be to choose lining or decking boards made 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 an original look and protects from the direct rays of the summer sun.

For most people, going to the bathhouse is not just a ritual of washing, but rest and relaxation. It is for this reason that when designing it, preference is given to multifunctional structures where you can steam, wash, relax or sit at the table with family or friends. The choice of options is huge: these can be bathhouses with an attic and veranda, projects with terraces, swimming pools, recreation areas, etc.

Bathhouse with terrace

Buildings with a terrace are very popular. This is an outdoor area with fencing and flooring connected to the main building. It can be located under a canopy, the roof of a bathhouse, or even be open.

The construction of a bathhouse with a veranda is thoughtful and rational decision, which will not only decorate the appearance of the structure, but will also expand the possibilities of spending time there.

Material for building a bathhouse

Almost any material can be used to build a bathhouse, but wood is most often chosen. Coniferous trees are an ideal option because they are more resistant to rot and are easier to process. And if you treat it with modern antifungal and fire-fighting agents, the structure will be fully protected from all troubles.

To build a log bathhouse with a veranda, whole tree trunks are used, cut down using a special technology that has been familiar since ancient times. The assembly of the structure is carried out by perpendicular stacking of logs on top of each other. A groove is made on each of them, and notches are cut out at the ends. Baths built using this technology look very attractive if all the logs are calibrated, that is, they have the same diameter.

Timber is also very popular for building a bathhouse. The cost of such projects is much lower, since its production is completely mechanized. To erect a building, you simply need to cut the timber to the required length and assemble the bathhouse in accordance with the previously prepared foundation contour. Assembly is carried out by placing the timber on wooden pins.

Bathhouse with terrace and barbecue

Not everyone can afford to build a large structure that, in addition to a room for steaming and washing, can also accommodate a rest room. Therefore, for small areas, a bathhouse with a veranda and barbecue would be an excellent option.

This building is multifunctional, as it provides the owner with a full-fledged recreation area, which, moreover, can be equipped with a summer kitchen. Due to the fact that the stove will be located practically in the fresh air, there is no need to install a chimney; you can get by with a small pipe.

As for the base on which the heavy stove will be placed, some recommendations will need to be followed. The best option The foundation for the stove is strip-monolithic, and it must be laid completely both under the walls of the bathhouse and where the barbecue equipment will be located. It should be poured to the height of the floor, since later the stove will be laid on it.

If you plan to use a barbecue rather than a stove, then a pile or columnar foundation is quite suitable. It is connected by a frame made of timber with a cross-section of 150*150 mm, on which the flooring is laid. The area where the grill will be located must be made of fire-retardant material so that the process of preparing barbecue and shish kebab is absolutely safe in the bathhouse with a veranda. Designers offer projects of this kind (there are a huge number of photos) most often, and they are all based on a reliable foundation.

The terrace can be covered and have a common roof with the bathhouse. Rafter system in this case, it rests on racks that are components of the frame, and fences can also be attached to them. Basically, all bathhouses are built with a veranda under one roof (photo can be seen below), since this is more convenient and economical.

Bathhouse with a terrace made of profiled timber

Projects made from profiled timber are very popular, since this material is processed on a specialized machine and the output is a smooth, shaped surface. Next, the timber is coated with a special product that gives the wood a good and natural shade that does not darken during use. Structures made from this material most often do not involve any internal decorative finishing because there is no need for it.

The fences in the project for a bathhouse made of timber with a veranda are laid from the same material as the main building in combination with decorative slats. It looks very natural and aesthetically pleasing. The extension itself can be common, combining the house and the bathhouse. And if it is also glazed, then a kind of corridor is formed between two buildings, which can be equipped for relaxation or to store accessories for a country holiday.

Another interesting project is a veranda attached to the bathhouse, which resembles an outdoor summer cafe. If its area allows, then you can also install a billiard table there, which will make your vacation not only pleasant, but also active.

Bathhouse with terrace and relaxation room

If you have financial capabilities and the space of the structure allows, then you can choose a bathhouse design with a veranda and a relaxation room. This way you will get a multifunctional and more practical structure. The terrace is used for its intended purpose most often in the warm season, so the presence of a relaxation room will allow you to fully use the possibilities of such relaxation in any weather.

The lounge provides the following benefits:

Year-round holiday in warmth.

No flying insects.

You can install in the room household appliances(music, TV, refrigerator, etc.).

Possibility to equip a room for relaxing with friends (mini-bar, bar counter, billiards, etc.).

The rest room must be included in the project before construction begins. The classic version of the bathhouse consists of a steam room, a washing room and a dressing room. The dressing room is an unheated room, which is intended for changing clothes and storing bath accessories.

In modern projects, instead of a dressing room, a rest room is placed, which has permanent structure And common walls with the main bathhouse. Taking on the functions of a dressing room, this room serves as a relaxing place where you can sit at the table with friends and just have a good time. In summer, from this room you can go out onto the terrace and enjoy the fresh air after steaming. It is not surprising that this particular project is the most popular.

Two-story bathhouse

If it is possible, but the size of the plot does not allow you to build a building with a rest room and a veranda, then you can consider the option of a bathhouse with an attic and a veranda. Such a structure will require much less space, but in terms of functionality it is in no way inferior to the previous one. This option makes it possible to have an additional room if all the rules of insulation and glazing are followed. A thorough floor covering, waterproofing, pitched roof, but despite all this, such a project is very practical and profitable. You can equip the attic with anything: a billiards room, a bar, a gym, etc.

In addition, you can also equip a living room here when there is nothing on the site except a bathhouse and a storage shed gardening tools. There you can not only relax after gardening work in the summer, but also to stay overnight after the bath in the winter.

An attic is a room under a sloping gable roof, located above the main building. The descent from there is carried out along the stairs, the presence of which will add zest to the interior of the bathhouse with an attic and veranda. Projects of such structures require reinforced floors, since they must support the weight of a person.

Two-story bathhouse with an open attic

This building is ideal for large families and those who like to gather companies; in addition, an equipped room on the second floor will help save land area. An open, ventilated attic is ideal air cushion between the bathhouse and the roof. If desired, you can equip a balcony and sliding doors there.

Bathhouse with terrace 6 by 6

Most often, this project is of interest to those who like to gather with a large family, invite guests and not worry that there will not be enough space for someone. Baths of this size generally have two floors, on the first there is a steam room, shower room, bathroom, dressing room, relaxation room and, of course, a terrace, on the second there is a room for playing billiards and guest rooms. Some owners, in order to save space, combine a dressing room with a relaxation room and then combine the style of this room and the design of the veranda in the bathhouse. The result is a single space.

The dimensions of such a building accommodate a large stove, a full-fledged restroom, and if desired, you can even include a swimming pool in the project.

When planning any bathhouse with a terrace, it is important to consider that access to it should be both from the inside and from the outside. A terrace can be made not only along the wall of the bathhouse, but also as a corridor from the house to it.

Modern technologies do not stand still. Today, the terrace can have several levels, for example, the first serves as a porch for the entrance to the bathhouse, and the second and third go towards the gazebo. In addition, if the customer has the opportunity, then a swimming pool can be installed on the terrace.

Terrace exterior

As mentioned above, it is very important to take care in advance of the entrance to the terrace both from the bathhouse and from the street. The foundation for it must be poured with the same depth as for the main structure, so that in winter there are no deviations between them. In addition, it is recommended to install the terrace on poles rather than attach it to the wall itself. The material of both structures (bathhouse and terrace) should be the same.

In addition to the functional features, it is important to consider the design of the veranda in the bathhouse, as well as what will be located outside it. To decorate the space in front of the terrace, you can make a small pond, install figurines next to it and plant plants.

Today, many are trying to install a swimming pool into the flooring of the terrace; this is not only fashionable, but also useful. The advantage of this proximity to the bathhouse is that the pool is covered with a canopy, but at the same time it is still located in the open air. Swimming in it after a steam room is more pleasant and healthier than swimming in one that is located indoors.

Terrace with sliding wall

Not so long ago, bathhouse designs with a sliding glass wall began to appear. In essence, this building is a large veranda, which turns into an open terrace by removing the partition. The walls themselves can be made of plastic, glass, stretched fabric or metal of any color. The sliding wall mechanism can also be selected individually, these can be accordion walls, Japanese sliding walls or removable panels that function according to the type garage doors and are retracted under the ceiling or up from the street side, like a canopy.

In order to equip a terrace according to this principle, you need to choose a project as for a regular terrace, and only then install special doors.

Conclusion

As you can see, the choice of bathhouse designs with a veranda is quite extensive; everyone will be able to choose a suitable option for themselves and place it on suburban area. Each of them has individual characteristics that are important for ensuring quality rest. Therefore, before you start building any type of bathhouse, you should study all the rules fire safety, first of all, this applies to buildings with a terrace, where the installation of a stove or barbecue grill is provided.

Whatever the size and arrangement of the terrace, its presence will add completeness to the bathhouse and will serve as a decoration for the suburban area.

The best projects of bathhouses with a veranda

Buildings with a terrace are very popular. This is an outdoor area with fencing and flooring connected to the main building.

Bathhouse with a terrace: thinking about the project and choosing material for construction

Washing in your own bathhouse cannot be classified as a banal hygiene procedure. This is a true pleasure, which is accompanied by a pleasant feast in the company of friends and leisurely conversation. Therefore, when planning to build a small bathhouse on your site, do not miss the chance to make it truly comfortable and convenient.

In the warm season, after a hot steam room, you want to go out into the fresh air, settle into soft chair and freeze in sweet languor.

Your holiday will not be overshadowed by the vagaries of the weather if a bathhouse with a terrace under one roof is built on the site.

What should its layout be in order for water treatments to be optimally combined with relaxation? board games and cooking homemade dishes, we will look in more detail.

Bath layout options

It is advantageous to build a terrace (veranda) not as a separate structure, but under the same roof as a bathhouse. Therefore, at least one size (length or width) must be the same. The easiest way to implement this idea is as follows: the gable roof of the bathhouse on one side rests on the main wall, and the other rests on the racks (columns) of the terrace.

The second step is to determine the usable area of the terrace. It directly depends on the number of people visiting the bathhouse at the same time. For a family of 4 people, 8 m2 is enough for comfortable seating at the table. If the company is more representative (6-8 people), then include at least 14 m2 in the project. Having determined the area of the veranda, you can finally decide on which side of the bathhouse it is best located.

Along the narrow end wall a small terrace is optimally arranged. If you want to make a more spacious room, then it is better to make an open canopy along the wide side of the bathhouse.

Another interesting layout option is placing a terrace between the bathhouse and residential building. This way, you won't have to look for a place to cook or wait for the rain to end. Only in this case is it better to attach a bathhouse with a veranda to the blind side of the house so that smoke from the heater chimney (when using solid fuel) does not get into the windows of the living quarters.

When considering the design of a bathhouse with a terrace in terms of its internal layout, you need to proceed from the external dimensions of the structure. It is within this framework that you will have to “fit” all the rooms: dressing room, bathroom, shower, steam room, relaxation room and terrace. You can save useful space by abandoning the rest room and transferring its functions to the veranda. However, in this case, during the cold season you will have nowhere to relax after washing in the bathhouse. Therefore, reserve at least 6-7 m2 for it.

If your plans do not include the construction of a full-size bathhouse measuring 6 by 6 meters as in the figure above, then you can do it differently: remove the rest room from the layout, glaze the terrace and make a barbecue oven in it.

For the autumn and spring seasons, the heat from such a fireplace will be enough to create comfortable temperature. In this case, the external dimensions of the bathhouse with a veranda can be reduced to a minimum (4 by 4 meters), without losing in comfort and ease of use.

Options for adding rooms

In addition to the considered solutions with a relaxation room, a glassed-in veranda with a barbecue, the idea of adding an attic to the bathhouse deserves attention. It significantly expands the usable area and makes it possible to equip a guest room, a small fireplace room or a billiard room under one roof.

To implement such a profitable idea, you need to provide a place to install a narrow and not too steep staircase. It's not difficult to find. It is enough to slightly increase the area of the hallway (dressing room).

On the second floor near the bathhouse you can design a spacious balcony. To do this, the attic roof needs to be extended so that it covers the veranda.

The slope of the roof will take away part of the usable area from the second floor. Despite this, in attic room There will be enough space for a recreation room with a pool table. If desired, you can install here light open fireplace with exhaust hood.

Photos of different bath options

Having gained an idea of the external layout and internal layout baths with terraces, you should look at their visual embodiment. This will help us more accurately determine the material for the new building.

In photo No. 1 we see a classic bathhouse made of rounded logs, covered with a gable roof made of metal tiles. The roof covers not only the bathhouse, but also the terrace and balcony of the second floor.

The beautiful knitting of crowns serves as the main decoration of the facade. The only remark is the irrational use of attic space. Gable roof takes up a lot of usable space from the second level premises. In this regard broken roof more profitable.

Photo No. 2 shows an inexpensive and compact sauna made of timber with a terrace. Nothing superfluous is the life credo of the owner of such a structure. A shallow foundation is inexpensive and quite sufficient for installing walls made of wooden beams. Under the terrace, a strip foundation is not needed at all. Three concrete columns for the roof support posts and a timber frame are the most reasonable solution.

You don't have to cover the veranda common roof with a bathhouse, and protect it with an ordinary flat canopy. Photo No. 3 shows the appearance of a structure measuring 6 by 4 meters with a veranda located along the long wall. As we can see, there is enough space for a dining table and a small barbecue oven.

When planning to build a bathhouse with a veranda, you don’t have to invent complex options, but simply combine it with a regular one garden gazebo, as in photo No. 4.

A polycarbonate roof will not only reliably protect you from rain, but will also create pleasant partial shade.

The bathhouse can become the central structure for the entire recreation area of a country estate. In this case, the terrace should be truly spacious and comfortable. To do this, it should be made as wide as possible or extended by unfolding it in the shape of the letter “L”.

In the far corner of the large log shed, a summer stove with a compartment for frying kebabs and steaks is conveniently located.

Construction materials

Wood is the most popular material for constructing a bathhouse with a terrace. Moreover, this can be not only an expensive profiled beam, but also an affordable rounded log.

Excellent bath characteristics are also achievable in an inexpensive frame structure, provided that ecowool and not polystyrene foam are used as insulation.

Foam block and aerated concrete are well suited for bathhouse construction. These materials effectively solve the problem of insulation and do not require expensive finishing. Important condition the durability of such a structure is good protection of the walls from moisture (deeply penetrating waterproofing and high-quality putty).

Brick is almost never used as the main material for walls today. But it is indispensable for facial finishing facade and looks good as a decorative fence for a terrace.

A lover of the original can be advised to build round sauna with a terrace using the “claystone” technology. Two dump trucks of firewood, one clay truck and a hay cart are all the materials needed to build a unique and environmentally flawless structure.

Bathhouses with a terrace: projects, photos, DIY terrace construction

A terrace is a platform with flooring, which is built on a prepared foundation. There are many types and varieties of this architectural addition:

It can be located near the house, or it can be completely unconnected with it, or connected by a path.
Maybe without a roof - then they say that it is open. Or with a roof - covered.
May or may not have walls. The walls can be solid or in the form of a fence.
There are single or multi-level ones.

There are a lot of types of terraces: both in shape, and in the number of levels, and in materials

If you consider that very different materials can be used in manufacturing, it is clear that there are simply countless variations.

Projects of bathhouses made of timber with a terrace

Bathhouse 4 x 4.5 with terrace

Bathhouse projects 4 + for 4 with a terrace on a separate columnar foundation

The parameters of the premises can be changed by moving the partition separating the rest room. If the bathhouse is being built for a dry-air sauna, a large volume of the steam room is not needed: calculate the number of people who should fit in one session, then calculate the area of the shelves for their comfortable arrangement: for “sitting” places you can take 1-1.2 meters per person, “lying” - 2.1-1.2 m. Width of shelves - 0.7-0.9 m. Calculate the area of the shelves, add space for the stove and its fence and some area for free movement. Get the required area.

The calculation of the area of the steam room in a Russian bathhouse is similar, but if there is no need to have “lying down” places in a sauna - they usually only sit there, then in a Russian steam room they are required. Another difference is that the fencing of the sauna stove is a wooden structure that prevents you from touching the hot walls. In a Russian steam room, if they install a metal stove, then they must cover it with a brick screen, and these are completely different dimensions. Therefore, a larger area needs to be allocated.

This is an example of what the implementation of the project looks like

Optionally wood stove for a bathhouse: for this project you will need a compact version, perhaps tall and narrow, but you can try to fit just a small one in size. The volume will be quite small, so low power should be enough. This project includes a stove that is heated from the rest room. At the same time, it will also heat it, so you need some power reserve, do not forget about this (if you plan to visit the bathhouse in winter). For example, “Heat “Malyutka”, Varvara stoves - models “Palenitsa” and “Mini”, or “Compact”, “Osa”, “Shilka” and “Biryusa” from Termofor.

Project of a 4 by 6 bathhouse with a terrace

This option for planning a small bathhouse immediately provides for the allocation of a small vestibule, so this bathhouse is suitable for winter use without modifications. The steam room and sink are separate, they have almost same sizes, which is not always justified. If they will only use the shower in the washing room, then it can be made a little more compact by blocking off more space for a steam room (for a Russian bath). You can also install a sprinkler in the shower. If the ceiling height allows, it is mounted above the shower “gander”; if not, on the side.

This timber bathhouse project also has a fenced-off closed vestibule. It occupies part of the terrace, but in order not to reduce its area, it was “pushed” beyond the building’s foundation. If desired, you can further increase it by making it in the shape of the letter “G”. You will get a spacious area for summer recreation. It will be possible to fence off a part of it for installing a barbecue (there are several projects here).

If there is still an opportunity to add a little dimensions, you can already “fit in” the bathroom. The result will be a guest house-sauna, especially if you make a two-story bathhouse. One of the options, however, on the same floor, is located in the photo below.

Large bathhouse-guest house with terrace

What materials are they built from?

To cover the terrace, you can use any building material: wood, brick, building blocks, natural or artificial stone, paving, ceramic, porcelain tiles, natural or artificial stone, etc.

Near the brick bathhouse, a terrace with a brick fence looks good

Near the brick bathhouse, a terrace with a fence also made of brick looks good; in this case, it is rational to lay out the terrace itself with tiles or stone. A much more practical option. However, for such sites it will be necessary to pour a concrete slab.

If your soil is dry and not prone to heaving, it will be enough to fill it with crushed stone and sand. It will be possible to lay paving slabs. It comes in different shapes and colors, so it can also look more than interesting.

The terrace with laid paving slabs looks very good. It can be combined with a blind area around the house. In this case, you will kill two birds with one stone.

How to make a wooden terrace on a pile foundation

Preparing piles

To create normal operating conditions for wooden terraces, it is necessary to think through the design so that water does not accumulate under the structure. In general, it is advisable to make the platform made of wood raised above the ground level so that the boards below are well blown and ventilated. Therefore, most often a pile or columnar foundation is made for such structures. Moreover, the fertile layer under the terrace is removed, the remaining soil is leveled and compacted, and then covered with crushed stone and also compacted. This is done to prevent the vegetation from rotting and spreading “odors” and spores.

Roofing felt piles

Much less money (but more labor) will require piles with roofing felt formwork.

This can be done permanent formwork for roofing felt piles

Then formwork is installed in the prepared pits. All columns must be leveled. This can be done using two rods driven along the edges of the planned terrace and a cord stretched between them. Its verticality can be checked with a building level, adjusting the height of the rods if necessary. The second way is to set the height of the bars using a hydraulic level (you can also use a laser level, but it is difficult to work with it outside - the beam is visible only in the evening or in cloudy weather). After fiddling with positioning the cord, you will then quickly bring all the columns in one row to the same height. Repeat the procedure in the following.

How to attach support pillars to concrete piles - one of the options

The columns also need to be placed vertically. You can't do without a plumb line here. It’s a simple tool, but nothing better has been invented yet.

Next, to increase the strength, it is advisable to insert several bars of reinforcement inside - 2-3 per column. You can use smooth rods with a diameter of 8-10 mm. Then pour concrete inside. It needs to be compacted, since it is not worth knocking on the roofing felt; you will need to take a long metal rod and bayonet it (pierce it through and pull it a little from side to side). As a result of such actions, the concrete level will become a little lower - air will escape, you will have to add a little. Everything becomes easier if you have a submersible hand or mobile concrete vibrator. When the solution has set, you can begin further work.

Brick pillars

The foundation for the terrace can be made of brick columns

After the mortar has set, a brick column is made around the pipe. The height is set just below the required flooring height - leaving room for the bottom trim.

How to make a bottom harness

There are two options for installing support pillars:

first, logs are attached to the columns, and then support pillars are attached to the logs;
when pouring concrete, galvanized embedded plates are inserted into the columns, then the bars of the posts are attached to them (put twice folded roofing material under the posts, treat the ends with impregnation, although it is better to tar or paint).

Another option for a foundation for a terrace is ready-made concrete blocks. You just need to dig a corresponding pit for each column, make a gravel backfill, place a half-block, and a rectangular block on top of the solution

The first method is used most often, but the second also occurs. It requires a little less cost, but there will be more fuss with laying the logs.

When making the bottom trim, a beam of 100*75 mm, 75*75 mm or wider is used - it depends on the size of the terrace and the load on it. They are treated with antibacterial impregnations, laid on a concrete column covered with a layer of waterproofing (lay twice folded roofing material or coat with mastic or liquid waterproofing).

The beams cost a lot, but you can cheat by making a spliced beam from boards. It is not suitable for support pillars - the appearance is not the same, but for joists it is even better, since it has increased strength. How to make timber from boards:

Take an edged board with a width equal to the length of the side of the beam, with a thickness of at least 25 mm.
The number of boards to be spliced is determined based on the required thickness of the timber. If you need timber 75 mm thick, then there will be three boards.
They are connected with self-tapping screws in increments of 10-15 cm (the length of the self-tapping screw is slightly shorter than the width of all the boards being joined). When connecting, the fasteners are placed in a checkerboard pattern.
When creating long beams, boards can be spliced. But at the same time, you need to ensure that the joint is at least half a meter away from the joint.
Such spliced bars are laid on the edge. Only in this state do they have high strength (even stronger than solid timber).

What does a terrace frame look like?

Regardless of the chosen method, all wooden elements must be impregnated with protective and antifungal compounds. To improve their appearance and extend their service life, they are coated with varnish. It is better to use compositions for outdoor work, and if we talk about varnishes, then yacht varnish is preferable - it is well adapted to a humid environment and protects the wood from the effects of salts.

It is possible to create a frame made of metal. You can use a powerful corner or a square pipe. This base is more reliable and durable. It is well primed, then carefully painted and will serve for decades. To prevent the board from being damaged upon contact with metal, a waterproofing material - such as TechnoNIKOL, etc. - is glued to the metal. When attaching the flooring, you will have to drill holes - it is unlikely that you will be able to screw in the screws directly.

The frame can be welded from metal. Such a terrace will be much more repairable

After making and securing the strapping, you can begin making the flooring. An edged board is usually used. There is a special terrace board - it has not a flat, but a wavy front surface, but it is more often laid around fonts or pools built on the terrace. The wavy surface, even when wet, does not allow slipping, and if you make a slight slope, the water will quickly drain without lingering on the flooring.

Boards for plank flooring need to be of decent thickness. To make them last longer, they are treated with antiseptics and varnished or painted.

Tile terrace

If you decide to make a platform not from wood, but from tiles, you can go in several ways. It all depends on how you imagine your terrace.

If you are satisfied with paving slabs as a covering, the technology can be greatly simplified. The process is very similar to installing a blind area around a house. The technology is similar, you can use the same techniques.

Simple option

One of the options for constructing a terrace (with a drainage pipe under the tiles)

Bathhouse projects with a terrace: photos, drawings, foundations, do-it-yourself construction features

In the sauna we not only take a steam bath, but also relax and chat with friends. In the summer, these gatherings are more pleasant to endure with fresh air, so terraces are added to the bathhouses.

Bathhouse projects with veranda and terrace

Today you won’t surprise anyone with your own bathhouse on a country site. Modern projects simply amaze the imagination - so compactly and conveniently, several rooms can be housed under one roof. The designs of bathhouses with a terrace or attic are very original, attached veranda, gazebo, swimming pool and other beautiful and functional buildings. A house surrounded by additional buildings looks more solid, and the site is simply transformed. Now you can not only live here, but also receive guests in the fresh air, recuperate in the Russian bathhouse, play billiards - and all this under one roof!

Bathhouse with attached gazebo

Often in dachas or suburban areas there are gazebos. These structures are usually located near the house and are intended for a pleasant summer holiday. A house with a gazebo is functional - there you can cook shashlik or barbecue, drink tea, and enjoy summer evenings.

But what to do when both the house and the bathhouse have already been built? If the gazebo was not included in the project, it can be attached to existing structures. Gazebos attached to a bathhouse or house are very convenient. Such structures are called terraces, they are very similar to a veranda. Unlike verandas, terraces are most often open and do not have walls.

An extension with a recreation room is quite simple. Terraces are usually made of timber or logs. For its construction, a few supports and a roof are enough. The roof over the rest room can be made flat or pitched. For its manufacture, the same roofing material is used that covers a bathhouse or house.

Bathhouse project with a gazebo

If a house or bathhouse is at the design stage, it is better to immediately include a gazebo or terrace in the project. These structures are indispensable for private housing construction. A bathhouse with a gazebo is convenient because you can neglect the rest room. When there is a terrace, the need for this room simply disappears. It is on the terrace that you can drink tea, relax after the bath, and finally watch TV.

IN winter period Of course, you can’t sit on the open terrace after a hot bath. But you can build a bathhouse with a veranda. This is a closed room, insulated and glazed. If you install a barbecue on the veranda, its heat will be enough for heating small room in the cold season.

Before construction, it is better to choose a bathhouse project with a gazebo or terrace under one roof. This design is much easier to implement, requires less building materials, and therefore reduces material costs for a bathhouse with a gazebo.

A bathhouse with a relaxation room under one roof is also convenient because the terrace is reliably protected from precipitation. Here you can install a large table, sun loungers, armchairs and everything you need for a good rest.

Often a swimming pool is installed in a bathhouse with a gazebo. The font can be placed on the terrace level with the floor. A swimming pool under one roof with a sauna is great! After all, diving into cool water after a hot bath is an unforgettable pleasure.

It is better to make a swimming pool under the same roof with a bathhouse also because the roof will protect the water from direct sun rays, leaves and other debris.

Features of construction of a gazebo

If a terrace is planned for the project, then the foundation for it must be laid together with the main one intended for the bathhouse. This will ensure the building's strength and durability.

An already rebuilt house or bathhouse can also be equipped with a veranda; in this case, it is installed on a lightweight strip foundation. For a small terrace, a pile base is quite suitable - several supports in the form of pillars.

The construction of a bathhouse and a gazebo under one roof eliminates the problems associated with joining two roofs. A solid roof provides better protection from precipitation and cold.

The gazebo, bathhouse and house must be designed in the same style, fit harmoniously into landscape design plot. Baths are most often built from wood: profiled timber, rounded logs, “wild” (untreated) wood. Used for roofing soft tiles, slate, metal profile. Such wooden bathhouses and gazebos need matching ones - a canopy for wooden pillars round or square section.

For a stone bathhouse you need a stone gazebo. In this case, the columns for the terrace are made of brick, metal pipes, decorated with wild stones or tiles.

If there is a barbecue in the gazebo, you need to think about a separate foundation for it. A stone stove is a fairly heavy structure, and also a very fire hazard. In addition to the foundation, you will have to take care of the chimney pipe and ventilation system. To prevent smoke from the barbecue from entering the house and bathhouse, it must be removed in a timely manner using electric hoods.

Another nuance for bathhouses with a veranda and barbecue is that to prevent smoke from entering the house or bathhouse through open windows, it is better to attach the terrace to a blank wall that does not have windows.

Bathhouse with attic

A house or bathhouse with an attic is a sign of luxury. A two-story building with a rest room requires more serious material investments, but by building a bathhouse with an attic, you can significantly save usable space. Even on a small plot of land, a bathhouse, rest room, and shower will fit perfectly. On the second floor you can place a guest bedroom, a billiard room and any other room.

Bathhouse designs with an attic and terrace are very economical and functional. Such structures often have hanging balconies, which are also used as small verandas. On the lower terrace you can put a large table or build a swimming pool. It’s good to build all this under one roof - then both the balcony and the main terrace will be protected from rain and snow.

When building a bathhouse with an attic, you need to take into account the weight of the future building. In order for a two-story building to stand securely on the ground, it needs a solid foundation. The base for the bathhouse is well buried, reinforced and filled with a continuous layer of concrete.

The roof for a bathhouse with an attic and a veranda can have a pitched structure. But in this case, there may not be enough space on the second floor. However, it is quite enough for a billiard room or a recreation room. But for bedrooms and living rooms you will need more space - in this case, it is better to make the roof a broken one with a complex shape.

Combining a bathhouse with a house and veranda

Combined buildings are considered the most compact. So, even on a small plot of land, a house, a bathhouse, and even a terrace with a swimming pool can easily fit.

To bring this idea to life, you can use corner project. According to this plan, the house and the bathhouse are located on opposite sides, and they are connected by a terrace.

The veranda can be closed, then it will be convenient to use it for moving from a warm house to a hot bathhouse. When it's cold and damp outside, you don't really want to leave the house again. And if you install a barbecue, fireplace or small pool on the veranda, then this place will become the most beloved for all household members.

An open terrace in corner structures also has its advantages. For such a rest room you can come up with original finish, put sun loungers here for taking sunbathing or install a small tea table. All the delights open terrace felt in the summer, because it’s so nice to sit outdoors on a warm summer evening and admire the stars or the sunset.

The same corner structure can be supplemented with an attic, then the usable area will double. More can be built living rooms, make a spacious hall on the second floor or supplement an ordinary bathhouse with a dry Finnish sauna.

Conclusion

A bathhouse with an attic, a gazebo, a terrace or a regular rest room - the design is not so important. The main thing is that the inhabitants of a country house will be able to relax after difficult everyday life and heal during the cold season by taking a steam bath. And additional buildings under one roof simply add comfort, and, of course, beauty and status.
