The spread of the trend of building log buildings contributed to the use of the same technologies for the construction of a bathhouse. This will require pine logs with a diameter of not more than twenty-two centimeters. Such wood contains aromatic substances. They are released in conditions of humidity and elevated temperature, and also have bactericidal properties. Since solid logs are able to "breathe", the room does not need ventilation.
Building a bathhouse with your own hands will be much easier if you break this process into stages:
1. Design and calculation of the size of the room. This is where construction begins. A two-room standard log house will have dimensions of 35 m, and a variant of three rooms with a separate steam room provided - 66 m. The main thing is to correctly calculate the height of the ceilings. To keep warm, they should be low, but do not forget about comfort.
2. After the design is completed and it is known what building materials will be required and in what quantity, you need to start purchasing them.
3. The next step is to prepare and build the foundation. The depth of its placement should be calculated based on the level of soil freezing for a particular area, and exceed it by ten centimeters.
4. In order to build a bath correctly, it is necessary to adhere to the assembly technology of the main walls. Quite often, barked wood is used as log cabins. It is a log from which the bark has only been removed. A bath made of wood with roughness and knots will always look very stylish.
5. The next building element is the roof. To build a quality bath, you need to choose the right version of the roof. The gable look will become more suitable for a small, detached structure, and a shed roof is most common as an extension to the main structure. The angle of inclination in the first version should be from twenty to forty degrees, and in the second - from twenty to thirty. The bath should be built with the installation of a heavy roof. The most suitable option would be the Norwegian earthen roofing technology. It will be quite warm, heavy and comfortable during operation. In winter, precipitation in the form of snow will not accumulate, but will become water and drain.
6. It is very important for the bath to properly position the stove-heater so that it provides heating to all rooms at once. A container for heating water is built into it, and granite stones are used as heat accumulators. They are heated by means of coming out of the fireboxgas ovens. Such a stove is designed for long-term firewood.
7. After the main work is completed, it is quite easy to build a bath. It is necessary to take care of the weir and the device of the chimney. After that, it is possible to insulate the floor, ceiling, as well as carry out the interior decoration of all rooms, the installation of shelves. Before starting the entire construction process, you need to find out how much it costs to build a bathhouse, decide whether to contact specialists or not.
