Sauna house with glazed veranda. Do-it-yourself veranda to the bath from the foundation to the glazing. Manufacturing and installation of formwork

A terrace is a platform with flooring, which is arranged on a prepared base. There are a lot of types and varieties of this architectural addition:

  • It can be located near the house, or it can be completely unrelated to 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.

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

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

Given that a variety of materials can be used in the manufacture, it is clear that the variations are simply innumerable.

Projects of baths from a bar with a terrace

It is not so difficult to build a terrace in front of the bathhouse or next to it. In general, most often the difficulties are 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, slightly adjust it for your own needs. Here are a few projects of baths with different terraces that are easy to do with your own hands.

Bath 4 by 4.5 with a terrace

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


The parameters of the premises can be changed by moving the partition separating the rest room. If a bathhouse is being built for a dry-air sauna, a large volume of a steam room is not needed: calculate the number of people who should fit in one run, then calculate the area of ​​\u200b\u200bshelves for their comfortable arrangement: for “sitting” places, you can take 1-1.2 meters per person, per "lying" - 2.1-1.2 m. The width of the shelves - 0.7-0.9 m. Calculate the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe 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 the Russian bath is similar, then if you can not do “lying” places in the sauna - they usually only sit there, then in the Russian steam room they are required. Another difference is that the fence for the sauna stove is a wooden structure that prevents you from touching the hot walls. In the Russian steam room, if a metal stove is installed, then it is sure to be covered with a brick screen, and this is a completely different size. Therefore, the area required to allocate a large.

Read more about the layout of the baths, the size of the premises, read here. About where and what windows to place is written in the article "Bath windows: where to put and what sizes." About what doors and their sizes are needed in the steam room and other rooms, read the article "Which doors to choose for a bath and sauna"


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

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

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

Bath project 4 by 6 with a terrace

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

Bath drawing 6 by 5 (with a protruding terrace)

This log bath 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 foundation of the building. If desired, you can increase it even more by making it in the form of the letter "G". Get a spacious area for summer recreation. It will be possible to fence off a part for installing a barbecue on it (there are several projects here).

Bath project 6 by 6 with an open terrace

This layout option manages the same number of rooms. It's just that their area has become larger: now the dimensions allow. In this embodiment, it is already possible to fence off a small room for a locker room. And for winter use, it will be necessary to organize a vestibule somewhere.


Bath project 6 by 6 with a terrace

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

What materials are they built from?

Any building material can be used to cover the terrace: wood, brick, building blocks, natural or artificial stone, paving, ceramic, porcelain tiles, natural or artificial stone, etc.

Despite the fact that wood outdoors is not the easiest material to maintain, most often terraces are made of wood. To use pine and spruce at the same time - to have a constant headache: you need to maintain, repair very often. Harder wood is more expensive, but lasts longer and is less of a hassle.


Near a brick bath, a terrace with a brick fence looks good

Near a brick bath, a terrace looks good, which also has a fence made of bricks; in this case, it is rational to lay out the terrace itself with tiles or stone. Much more practical. True, 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 is available 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 the 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

The most problematic option is wood. If you plan to use it, then you need to choose from varieties that tolerate being on the street well. It is also necessary to treat it with protective impregnations, varnishing or staining.

Preparing piles

To create normal operating conditions for wooden terraces, it is necessary to think over the design so that water does not accumulate under the structure. In general, it is advisable to make a wooden platform elevated above the ground level so that the boards from below are well blown and ventilated. Therefore, most often for such structures they make a pile or column foundation. Moreover, the fertile layer is removed under the terrace, the remaining soil is leveled and rammed, and then covered with rubble and also compacted. They do this so that the vegetation does not rot and does not spread “aromas” and spores.

The installation step of the posts is at least 1-1.5 meters apart - so the boards will not sag. Production material - any. It is possible to hammer asbestos or iron pipes into the ground, pour concrete into them. This is a very durable, but expensive option.

Piles from roofing material

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


So you can make a fixed formwork for piles of roofing material

The roofing material is rolled into round columns two or three layers. Diameter - 20-22 cm, height - about 1 meter (70 cm is recessed into the ground, 30 cm is on top). This is for soils of medium propensity to heaving. In order not to suffer with measuring the diameter of this formwork, you can use a template. If you find an eggplant from under the water of a suitable diameter (these are nine-liter containers), it will work simply: they screwed on the roofing material, secured it with tape, and took out the “pattern” by the handle.

Fastening, as usual, is more convenient with adhesive tape. Only on the powder, he does not want to stick. To ensure adhesion, we remove the crumbs in the right places with a brush, wipe the cleaned place with white spirit. After drying, the fixation is excellent. So prepare the required number of columns.

With the help of a drill, the required number of recesses is made slightly larger in diameter than the molded columns and 25 cm deeper. These 25 cm go to the pillow device: they are covered with a 15 cm layer of rubble, rammed. Sand is added, which is also rammed.

Then the formwork is installed in the prepared pits. All columns must be leveled. This can be done with the help of two bars hammered 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 bars if necessary. The second way is to set the height of the bars using a hydraulic level (you can also use a laser, but it is difficult to work with it on the street - the beam is visible only in the evening or in cloudy weather). Having fiddled with setting the cord, then quickly bring all the columns in one row to the same height. Repeat the procedure in the following.


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

You need to set the columns vertically. Here you can not do without a plumb line. A simple tool, but nothing better has yet been invented.

Further, to increase the strength inside, it is desirable to insert several bars of reinforcement - 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 material, you will need to take a long metal rod and bayonet (pierce through and pull a little from side to side). As a result of such actions, the concrete level will become slightly lower - air will come out, you will have to add a little. Everything becomes easier if you have a submersible manual or mobile concrete vibrator. When the solution sets, you can proceed to further work.

Columns of bricks

On heaving soils, the columns can simply be squeezed out, which will lead to the terrace. Here you need a wider platform that will stabilize the situation. For such a foundation, small pits are dug out, 50 * 50 or 60 * 60 cm in size. Soil is rammed into them, crushed stone is poured in, it is also rammed, formwork is installed from boards 20-25 cm high.


The foundation for the terrace can be made of brick columns

Several pieces of reinforcement are laid on the halves of the bricks - along and across - to make a cage (2-3 bars each). A pipe is inserted into the middle (verticality is checked). All this is poured with concrete (it is possible with gravel). Thickness - 20 cm.

After the mortar has set, a brick column is made around the pipe. The height is brought out just below the required flooring height - leave room for the lower strapping.

How to make a bottom harness

There are two options for installing support poles:


The first method is more commonly used, but the second is also the case. It requires a little less cost, but there will be more fuss with laying the log.

In the manufacture of 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 a double-folded roofing material or smear with mastic, liquid waterproofing).

There are a lot of bars, but you can cheat by making a spliced ​​timber from the boards. It is not suitable for supporting pillars - the appearance is not the same, but for the lag it is even better, as it has increased strength. How to make a beam from boards:


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

It is possible to create a frame made of metal. You can use a powerful corner, a square pipe. This base is more reliable and durable. It is well primed, then carefully painted and will serve for decades. In order not to be damaged by contact with the metal, the board is glued to the metal with a waterproofing material - such as "TechnoNIKOL", etc. When fixing the flooring, you will have to drill holes - it is unlikely that you will be able to screw the screws directly.

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

Flooring

After making and fixing the strapping, you can start making the flooring. A cutting board is usually used. There is a special terrace board - it has not a flat, but a wavy front surface, but it is often laid around fonts or pools built into 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 bend when walking.


Boards for boardwalk need a decent thickness. To make them last longer, they are treated with antiseptics and varnished or painted.

Tiled 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 coating, the technology can be greatly simplified. The process is very similar to the blind area around the house. The technology is similar, you can use the same techniques.

Easy 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 even, if the roof is not provided, a slope of 3-5 cm is formed per meter (from the foundation).

If there is abundant rainfall in the region, underground 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. For her, they dig a small recess (about half the diameter), where they put it. The end of the drainage pipe is led into a drainage well or into the sewer system.


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

So that plants do not germinate under the coating, they are treated with special chemistry. After processing, the profiled membrane is spread over the entire width. If you are laying drainage, then the edge of the membrane should go 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 10-15 cm membrane is placed on the wall. They fix it there. A layer of geotextile is rolled out from above. They also put him on the wall. Both films can be fixed with a clamping bar. The second edge of the geotextile ends above the drainage pipe (it is not fixed).

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


What would such a terrace look like?

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 coverage, calculate the desired depth of the pit around the house.

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

Bath with a veranda is a great option for a summer holiday! Obviously, it is more pleasant to relax between visits to the steam room in nature, enjoying clean air and beautiful landscapes, rather than sitting indoors. Of course, the best option is to choose a project and build them at the same time, but this is not always the case.

There are often cases when there is no money for the construction of a veranda at the time of the construction of the bath, so you have to install it later, having collected the necessary financial resources. Some over time like to expand the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe building by installing a veranda or terrace.

Do-it-yourself veranda to the bath: projects, photos, ideas

The veranda is a building that can be accessed from the bathhouse and from the street. It comes in different shapes: square, rectangular, U-shaped, etc. It does not have to have even corners; a round veranda will look original. But keep in mind that its construction will be much more difficult.

The easiest option to make a veranda is to attach it to the house. The advantage of this arrangement is that fewer materials will be needed for its construction, since it will already have one of the walls - this is part of the bath.

If you decide to attach the veranda to the wall of the house, then check that the wall is strong and reliable.

The traditional version of the location of the veranda is in front of the front door. The advantages of such placement: you do not have to change the layout, make an additional doorway, the veranda will organically fit into the interior and will be convenient to use.

The veranda can "encircle" the bath from several sides, in which case it will turn out to be quite spacious.

If on the site, in addition to the bath, there is also a house located nearby, then a veranda connecting the two buildings will be an excellent solution. In this case, even on a rainy day, you can walk from home to the bathhouse, remaining dry, the roof will protect from bad weather.

If the bath is located next to the road, then it is better to place the veranda in the courtyard so that you can relax in solitude and away from dust.

The plan of the veranda may be different. Someone is limited to a table and benches, while someone makes a full-fledged relaxation area on the terrace. Here you can put sofas and armchairs, a font and even make a pool!

If the area of ​​\u200b\u200byour veranda is large, then it would be a great option to do: place an oven on the veranda and cook food on it.

If you have chosen a closed veranda, then in summer it can be used as a guest room or bedroom. Then it is desirable that it has a bed or a sofa bed, for example.

Step 2. The walls of the veranda

The walls of the veranda can be different: solid, partially closed, etc. If you make a veranda as an extension to the bath, then the walls will protect from the wind anyway, so it is better to make the other sides of the veranda open, then you can enjoy a beautiful view.

If the veranda is a separate building, then it is better to make its walls higher in order to protect vacationers from drafts.

Curtains will help decorate the veranda and protect it from the wind.

There is also an alternative option - glazed verandas. In this case, they will be warm, while you will have a view of the surrounding landscape. Glazing can be partial or complete.

Partial glazing, as the name implies, means that the glass will occupy only part of the walls, and the other will be made of another material, such as logs or bricks. This option is considered to be simpler.

Full glazing provides that the walls consist of large windows interconnected by a frame. The advantage is that there will always be light during the day, and there will also be a panoramic view of the surrounding nature. But to implement such an option with your own hands is quite difficult, it is better to turn to specialists.

When glazing the veranda, you need to make several windows with vents so that you can ventilate the room.

The simplest option is a frame veranda. Its assembly begins with the lower strapping, for which a beam of a larger section is used. For example, if you use a 100x100 mm timber for the construction of a veranda, then for the lower crown it is better to take a material of 150x150 mm. The wooden parts of the veranda must be treated with antiseptics to protect the wood from moisture and fungus.

In the process of building an extension, you need to monitor the evenness of the walls, starting from the first row, use the level.

Do not forget to determine the location of window and door openings, if they are provided for by the project. If you are going to go to the bathhouse all year round, then it is better to have the door on the south side - this will help to avoid blocking the passage with snowdrifts.

Step 3. Veranda Roof

The veranda can have a separate roof or a common one with a bath. If the pediment of the roof of the bath is above the veranda, then usually the roof is mounted with a common slope. The advantages of this option are economy and no need to decide how to make a water drainage system.

If the veranda is perpendicular to the gable, then it is better to make a separate roof for the veranda. A fairly simple lean-to.

To prevent water from flowing onto the veranda, you need to install its roof so that it goes under the roof of the bath by about 15 cm.

It is better to choose the same roofing material as the bath itself, so that the building looks harmonious.

The construction of a private bath over time provides for the expansion of the total area by adding a veranda or terrace.

The extension can have an open or closed design, which allows it to be used in any climatic conditions. A bathhouse with a veranda is a complex and time-consuming project, but if desired, a novice developer can also implement it.

What is the veranda used for?

A terrace or veranda attached to a bath is a functional structure that can be used for various purposes. This is a full-fledged room that has walls, a floor and a ceiling, as well as a separate or combined roof with a bath.

What is such an extension used for? Many find it a completely domestic use - the storage of unnecessary things and materials that could not find a place in the main building.

The key purpose of the extension is to eat after the completion of bath procedures. Here you can equip a comfortable dining area by placing a compact table, garden chairs, a deck chair, as well as a sofa with decorative pillows and a warm blanket.

If there is a small summer house on the site, then the extension can be used as a summer kitchen, equipped with the necessary equipment and furniture.

Loyal connoisseurs of sauna relaxation can install a pool filled with cool water here to quickly cool a hot body after a hot steam room.

Another option for using the extension is arranging a play corner for children. The indoor design will allow children to have fun outdoors even on a cloudy day. Here you can place garden swings, deck chairs, floor mats, a Swedish gymnastic wall and even a miniature sandbox.

The choice of a suitable extension size is determined by the individual wishes of the developer and the size of the land plot. In this case, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe extension can be equal to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe bath, in some cases more or less.

Differences between a veranda and a terrace

Having decided to build an extension for a private bath, many owners are wondering: what is better to choose - a veranda or a terrace?

A veranda is a closed-type functional room that is built into an existing building.

The terrace is an open structure located on a separate base.

Important! Despite the obvious structural differences, the veranda and terrace are additional buildings.

The main characteristics of the bath extension:

  • A mandatory structural element of the veranda is the roof, while the terrace may not have it.
  • The veranda can serve as an additional part of the building, or be a separate extension. The terrace can be connected to the main building or located next to it.
  • If the veranda and terrace are used in winter, they must have the same roof as the bath.

The construction of extensions has its own characteristics, but still many homeowners opt for a veranda. It can be of any geometric shape and size, with panoramic or standard windows, insulated or lightweight.

The choice of the appropriate type of structure, open or closed, is considered at the stage of creating a detailed design. An open-type veranda is nothing more than a fenced terrace, but a closed-type one is a full-fledged functional room.

Design

The veranda, attached to the bath, provides two options for entering: internal, from the bath, and external, from the street. Often it is erected along a long wall, it can be square, rectangular and semicircular in design.

When building an extension on the support pillars between it and the bath, a technological gap of 10 mm must be observed.

Given the location in relation to the bath, the building is:

  • lateral - located along the wall;
  • frontal - erected to the front of the building;
  • corner - located at the junction of the main wall structures;
  • encircling - built around the perimeter of the building;
  • semicircular - completely connected to the bath with an internal outlet.

Modern projects of baths with verandas provide for the construction of an extension in the form of a rectangle or square, less often an oval or semicircle.

materials

Traditionally, in the construction of extensions for brick and wooden baths, round logs and timber are used. Such materials are environmentally friendly, durable, and also have high performance characteristics.

Important! For construction, high-quality and well-dried wood with a minimum shrinkage coefficient is used.

Logs and beams are harvested from coniferous and hardwoods, pre-treated with antiseptic compounds.

As a floor covering, in addition to wooden boards, artificial and natural stone, porcelain stoneware, paving and ceramic tiles can be laid.

Roofing materials require special attention, in particular if the roofs of the veranda and baths have a common design. For an extension, you can use slate, metal tiles, steel sheets, ondulin and polycarbonate.

Foundation

How to attach a veranda to an existing bath quickly and efficiently? Construction work begins with the preparation of a strong and durable base, which is designed to protect the finished structure from subsidence and deformation.

The extension of the veranda to the bath can be carried out on the following types of foundations:

  • Tape. It is a concrete reinforced base, the execution along the perimeter of the construction site, on which the construction of an extension is provided. It is suitable for stable soil types with low GWL, able to withstand a heavy structure.
  • Columnar. It is built from strong supports buried in the ground by 75 cm in increments of 2 meters. Asbestos-cement pipes or bored piles can be used as supports. Requires additional waterproofing of supports.
  • Pile-screw. It is built from metal pipes equipped with end blades. They are screwed into the ground to the required depth with pre-treatment with an anti-corrosion compound.
  • Pile. The most affordable type of base, which is used for problematic soils. The basis is made by bored concrete piles.

The choice of a suitable base for the veranda is determined by the type of foundation on which the bath is built. The finished base is covered with a waterproofing material, after which the frame is assembled and the floor is laid.

Walls

The most affordable option is to build a frame veranda for a bath from a log or timber with dimensions of 100 × 150 mm or 100 × 100 mm. Construction work is carried out according to the following technology:

  1. A grillage is laid on top of the waterproofing layer of the foundation base - a wooden strapping 55 mm thick and up to 160 mm wide. The strapping is fixed to the base with metal anchors.
  2. After that, vertical supports are installed - with a cut or metal corners. Racks are fixed on each side to ensure the necessary rigidity of the structure.
  3. Vertical racks are mounted so that window and door openings are located between them in the right place.
  4. The upper strapping is performed in a similar way. In the outer corners, the logs are joined by a cut or corners.
  5. Wall surfaces are insulated with mineral or basalt wool, sheathed on the outside with a planed board or decorative panels.

Glazing

The bath veranda can have partial or full glazing. Each of these options has its own technical features.

  1. Partial. Represented by wall structures, which 1/3 consist of brickwork or a wooden base, the rest of the volume is made of glass. A large number of windows provide additional natural light, making the room more spacious and open.
  2. Full . Wall structures almost entirely consist of frames with installed panoramic windows, equipped with vents for natural ventilation.

Roof

The design of the roof depends on the location and shape of the veranda itself. If the extension is located under the bath pediment, it is easier to equip a common roof. In this case, it is not necessary to organize an additional drainage system.

If the veranda has a perpendicular position with respect to the pediment of the bath, a separate roof should be made.

Now let's figure out how to make a roof for the veranda. Assembly is performed as follows:

  1. The roof truss system is being installed.
  2. Installed hydro and vapor barrier.
  3. A wooden crate is fixed, taking into account overhangs and ebbs for the pediment.
  4. Roofing material is being laid.
  5. An apron is installed at the junction of the veranda with the bath.

Important! Roofing material should be similar to that mounted on the bath.

Decorative decoration and design

A do-it-yourself veranda for a bath is built quite easily, and subject to the technology of frame construction, all work can be completed in a short time.

The final stage of arranging the veranda is the decorative interior design. In this matter, it is important to take into account the overall design of the bath or sauna in order to get a practical and harmonious interior. There are several popular styles for decorating a bath veranda.

cottage style. This is a variety of shapes and designs, the presence of all kinds of details and decorative elements made of wood. A bath with an open veranda can have carved railings, made in the form of a decorative fence, decorated with hanging planters with fresh flowers.

Mountain style. Suitable for large verandas: there is a heavy wooden frame, log railings and a canopy. Spruce or pine branches can be used as decorative elements. In such a room, solid furniture made of handmade wood without decorative processing looks solid.

Modern style. Provides a minimum number of decorative elements and details. The entire interior is decorated simply and concisely. For decoration, you can use wood, natural or artificial stone, glass, metal and plastic.

Eclecticism. This is a mixture of different styles with a choice of the most suitable elements. Laconic or expensive furniture, decor made from natural or artificial materials - all this can be safely combined with each other to decorate the veranda.

A private bath or sauna is a true paradise for true connoisseurs of sauna relaxation. If necessary, a modest building can be expanded by building a spacious and functional veranda.

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

Bath with a 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 the bath, or even be open.

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

For the construction of a bath, it is allowed to use almost any material, but wood is most often chosen. Conifers are ideal as they are more resistant to rot and easier to work with. And if you treat it with modern anti-fungal and fire-fighting agents, the structure will be fully protected from all troubles.

For the construction of a bath from a log with a veranda, whole tree trunks are used, cut down using a special technology, familiar from antiquity. 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 at the ends. Baths built using this technology look very attractive if all logs are calibrated, that is, they have the same diameter.

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

Sauna with terrace and barbecue

Not everyone can afford to build a large structure, in which, in addition to a room for soaring and washing, a rest room will also fit. Therefore, for small areas, a sauna with a veranda and a barbecue will 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 almost 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 furnace will be placed, here you will need to follow some recommendations. The best option for the foundation for the oven is tape-monolithic, and it must be laid completely under the walls of the bath and where the barbecue equipment will be located. It should be poured to the height of the floor, since later masonry will be made on it.

If you plan to use a brazier, and not a stove, then a pile or columnar foundation is quite suitable. It is connected by a frame made of timber with a section of 150 * 150 mm, on which the flooring is laid out. The area where the brazier will be located must be made of fire-retardant material so that the process of preparing barbecue and barbecue is absolutely safe on the territory of the bathhouse with a veranda. Projects (there are a huge number of photos) of this kind are most often offered by designers, and all of them are based on a solid foundation.

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

Bath with a terrace made of profiled timber

Projects from profiled timber are very popular, since this material is processed on a specialized machine and the output is a smooth curly surface. Next, the beam is covered with a special agent that gives the tree a good and natural shade that does not darken during operation. Structures made of this material most often do not imply any internal decorative finishes, since there is no need for this.

Fences in the project of a bath from a bar with a veranda are laid from the same material as the main building in combination with decorative slats. It looks very natural and aesthetic. The extension itself can be shared, combining the house and the bath. And if it is also glazed, then a kind of corridor is formed between the two buildings, which can be equipped for recreation or store accessories for a country holiday there.

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

Sauna with a terrace and a relaxation room

If there are financial possibilities and the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe structure allows, then you can choose a bath project with a veranda and a relaxation room. Thus, you will get a multifunctional and more practical structure. The terrace for its intended purpose is used most often in the warm season, so the presence of a relaxation room will allow you to fully use the possibilities of such recreation in any weather.

The break room provides the following benefits:

Year-round stay in the warmth.

No flying insects.

In the room you can install household appliances (musical accompaniment, TV, refrigerator, etc.).

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

The rest room must be incorporated into the project before construction begins. The classic version of the bath consists of a steam room, a room for washing 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 a capital structure and common walls with the main bath room. Taking on the functions of a waiting room, this room serves as a place to relax, where you can sit at a table with friends and just have a good time. In summer, you can go out to the terrace from this room and enjoy the fresh air after soaring. It is not surprising that this project is the most popular.

Two-story bath

If it is possible, but the size of the plot does not allow the construction of a building with a rest room and a veranda, then you can consider the option of a bathhouse with an attic and a veranda. For such a structure, much less space will be required, 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 you follow all the rules of insulation and glazing. It will require solid flooring, waterproofing, a pitched roof, but despite all this, such a project is very practical and profitable. In the attic, you can equip anything: a billiards room, a bar, a gym, and more.

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

An attic is a room under a broken gable roof, located above the main building. The descent from there is carried out along the stairs, the presence of which will bring zest to the interior of the bath with an attic and a veranda. The designs of such structures involve reinforced floors, since they must withstand the weight of a person.

Two-story bath 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. An open ventilated attic is an ideal air cushion between the bath and the roof. If desired, a balcony and sliding doors can be equipped there.

Sauna with a terrace 6 to 6

Most often, this project is of interest to those who like to gather with a large family, invite guests and not worry that someone will not have enough space. Baths of this size mainly have two floors, on the first floor there is a steam room, a shower room, a bathroom, a dressing room, a relaxation room and, of course, a terrace, on the second - 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 bath. The result is a single space.

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

When planning any bath with a terrace, it is important to consider that access to it should be both from the inside and outside. The terrace can be made not only along the wall of the bath, 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 entering the bathhouse, and the second and third go towards the gazebo. In addition, if the customer has the opportunity, then a swimming pool can also be equipped on the terrace.

Terrace exterior

As mentioned above, it is very important to take care of the entrance to the terrace in advance, 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, and not fasten it to the wall itself. The material of both structures (bath and terrace) should be the same.

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

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

Terrace with sliding wall

Not so long ago, bathhouse projects with a sliding glass wall began to appear. In fact, 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 chosen individually, it can be accordion walls, Japanese sliding walls or removable shields that function like garage doors and retract under the ceiling or up from the street side, like a visor.

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

Conclusion

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

Whatever the terrace in size and arrangement, its presence will give the bath completeness and will serve as a decoration for the suburban area.

The best projects of baths with a veranda


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

Bath with a terrace: we think over the project and choose the material for construction

Washing in your own bath cannot be classified as a banal hygiene procedure. This is a real pleasure, which is accompanied by a pleasant feast in the company of friends and a 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, sit in an easy chair and freeze in a sweet languor.

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

What should be its layout in order for water procedures to be optimally combined with relaxation, board games and cooking homemade meals, we will consider in more detail.

Bath layout options

It is advantageous to build a terrace (veranda) not as a separate structure, but under the same roof with a bathhouse. Therefore, at least one size (length or width) must be the same for them. The easiest way to implement this idea is as follows: the gable roof of the bath rests on the main wall with one side, and the other lies 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 bath 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 lay in the project at least 14 m2. Having determined the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe veranda, you can finally decide on which side of the bath it is best placed.

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

Another interesting layout option is the placement of a terrace between the bathhouse and the residential building. In this case, you do not have to look for a place to cook food or wait for the end of the downpour. Only in this case it is better to attach a bath with a veranda to the deaf side of the house so that the smoke from the stove chimney (when using solid fuel) does not get into the windows of the living quarters.

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

If your plans do not include the construction of a full-length bath measuring 6 by 6 meters as in the figure above, then you can do otherwise: 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 hearth will be enough to create a comfortable temperature. The external dimensions of the bath with a veranda in this case 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 glazed veranda with a barbecue, the idea of ​​​​adding a bathhouse with an attic 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 for installing a narrow and not too steep staircase. It is not difficult to find him. It is enough to slightly increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway (waiting room).

On the second floor near the bath, you can design a spacious balcony. To do this, the attic roof must 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, there will be enough space in the attic room for a recreation room with a billiard table. If desired, a light open fireplace with an exhaust hood can be installed here.

Photos of different options for baths

Having got an idea about the external layout and internal layout of the 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. The roof covers not only the bathhouse, but also the terrace and balcony of the second floor.

Beautiful knitting of crowns serves as the main decoration of the facade. The only remark is the irrational use of the attic space. The gable roof takes a lot of usable space from the second-level rooms. In this respect, a broken roof is more profitable.

Photo number 2 shows an inexpensive and compact bath from a bar with a terrace. Nothing superfluous - the life credo of the owner of such a structure. The shallow foundation is inexpensive and quite sufficient for the installation of walls made of wooden beams. Under the terrace, a strip foundation is not needed at all. Three concrete columns under the roof support posts and a frame made of timber is the most reasonable solution.

You can not cover the veranda with a common roof with a bath, but protect it with an ordinary flat canopy. Photo No. 3 shows the exterior of a 6 by 4 meter building with a veranda located along a 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 can not invent complex options, but simply block it with a regular garden gazebo, as in photo No. 4.

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

The bath can become the central building for the entire recreation area of ​​a country estate. In this case, the terrace should be really spacious and comfortable. To do this, it should be made as wide as possible or extended by unfolding it in the form of the letter "G".

In the far corner of the main log canopy, a summer oven with a compartment for frying shish kebabs and steaks is conveniently located.

Construction materials

Wood is the most popular material for building a bath with a terrace. Moreover, it 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 is used as a heater, and not polystyrene.

Foam block and aerated concrete are well suited for bath construction. These materials qualitatively solve the problem of insulation and do not require expensive finishing. An important condition for 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 the front decoration of the facade and looks good as a decorative fence of the terrace.

A lover of the original can be advised to build a round bath with a terrace using the clay pot technology. Two dump trucks of firewood, one truck of clay and a wagon of hay - that's all the materials needed to build a unique and environmentally friendly structure.

Options for baths with a terrace, layout examples and illustrative photos. Materials for the construction of a bath.

Baths with a terrace: projects, photos, do-it-yourself terrace construction

A terrace is a platform with flooring, which is arranged on a prepared base. There are a lot of types and varieties of this architectural addition:

  • It can be located near the house, or it can be completely unrelated to 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.

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

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

Given that a variety of materials can be used in the manufacture, it is clear that the variations are simply innumerable.

Projects of baths from a bar with a terrace

It is not so difficult to build a terrace in front of the bathhouse or next to it. In general, most often the difficulties are 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, slightly adjust it for your own needs. Here are a few projects of baths with different terraces that are easy to do with your own hands.

Bath 4 by 4.5 with a terrace

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

Bath projects 4 + by 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 a bathhouse is being built for a dry-air sauna, a large volume of a steam room is not needed: calculate the number of people who should fit in one run, then calculate the area of ​​\u200b\u200bshelves for their comfortable arrangement: for “sitting” places, you can take 1-1.2 meters per person, per "lying" - 2.1-1.2 m. The width of the shelves - 0.7-0.9 m. Calculate the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe 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 the Russian bath is similar, then if you can not do “lying” places in the sauna - they usually only sit there, then in the Russian steam room they are required. Another difference is that the fence for the sauna stove is a wooden structure that prevents you from touching the hot walls. In the Russian steam room, if a metal stove is installed, then it is sure to be covered with a brick screen, and this is a completely different size. Therefore, the area required to allocate a large.

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

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

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

Bath project 4 by 6 with a terrace

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

Bath project 4 by 6 with a terrace

Bath drawing 6 by 5 (with a protruding terrace)

This log bath 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 foundation of the building. If desired, you can increase it even more by making it in the form of the letter "G". Get a spacious area for summer recreation. It will be possible to fence off a part for installing a barbecue on it (there are several projects here).

Bath project 6 by 6 with an open terrace

This layout option manages the same number of rooms. It's just that their area has become larger: now the dimensions allow. In this embodiment, it is already possible to fence off a small room for a locker room. And for winter use, it will be necessary to organize a vestibule somewhere.

Bath project 6 by 6 with a terrace

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

Large sauna-guest house with a terrace

What materials are they built from?

Any building material can be used to cover the terrace: wood, brick, building blocks, natural or artificial stone, paving, ceramic, porcelain tiles, natural or artificial stone, etc.

Despite the fact that wood outdoors is not the easiest material to maintain, most often terraces are made of wood. To use pine and spruce at the same time - to have a constant headache: you need to maintain, repair very often. Harder wood is more expensive, but lasts longer and is less of a hassle.

Near a brick bath, a terrace with a brick fence looks good

Near a brick bath, a terrace looks good, which also has a fence made of bricks; in this case, it is rational to lay out the terrace itself with tiles or stone. Much more practical. True, 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 is available 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 the 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

The most problematic option is wood. If you plan to use it, then you need to choose from varieties that tolerate being on the street well. It is also necessary to treat it with protective impregnations, varnishing or staining.

Preparing piles

To create normal operating conditions for wooden terraces, it is necessary to think over the design so that water does not accumulate under the structure. In general, it is advisable to make a wooden platform elevated above the ground level so that the boards from below are well blown and ventilated. Therefore, most often for such structures they make a pile or column foundation. Moreover, the fertile layer is removed under the terrace, the remaining soil is leveled and rammed, and then covered with rubble and also compacted. They do this so that the vegetation does not rot and does not spread “aromas” and spores.

The installation step of the posts is at least 1-1.5 meters apart - so the boards will not sag. Production material - any. It is possible to hammer asbestos or iron pipes into the ground, pour concrete into them. This is a very durable, but expensive option.

Piles from roofing material

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

So you can make a fixed formwork for piles of roofing material

The roofing material is rolled into round columns two or three layers. Diameter - 20-22 cm, height - about 1 meter (70 cm is recessed into the ground, 30 cm is on top). This is for soils of medium propensity to heaving. In order not to suffer with measuring the diameter of this formwork, you can use a template. If you find an eggplant from under the water of a suitable diameter (these are nine-liter containers), it will work simply: they screwed on the roofing material, secured it with tape, and took out the “pattern” by the handle.

Fastening, as usual, is more convenient with adhesive tape. Only on the powder, he does not want to stick. To ensure adhesion, we remove the crumbs in the right places with a brush, wipe the cleaned place with white spirit. After drying, the fixation is excellent. So prepare the required number of columns.

With the help of a drill, the required number of recesses is made slightly larger in diameter than the molded columns and 25 cm deeper. These 25 cm go to the pillow device: they are covered with a 15 cm layer of rubble, rammed. Sand is added, which is also rammed.

Then the formwork is installed in the prepared pits. All columns must be leveled. This can be done with the help of two bars hammered 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 bars if necessary. The second way is to set the height of the bars using a hydraulic level (you can also use a laser, but it is difficult to work with it on the street - the beam is visible only in the evening or in cloudy weather). Having fiddled with setting the cord, then quickly bring all the columns in one row to the same height. Repeat the procedure in the following.

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

You need to set the columns vertically. Here you can not do without a plumb line. A simple tool, but nothing better has yet been invented.

Further, to increase the strength inside, it is desirable to insert several bars of reinforcement - 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 material, you will need to take a long metal rod and bayonet (pierce through and pull a little from side to side). As a result of such actions, the concrete level will become slightly lower - air will come out, you will have to add a little. Everything becomes easier if you have a submersible manual or mobile concrete vibrator. When the solution sets, you can proceed to further work.

Columns of bricks

On heaving soils, the columns can simply be squeezed out, which will lead to the terrace. Here you need a wider platform that will stabilize the situation. For such a foundation, small pits are dug out, 50 * 50 or 60 * 60 cm in size. Soil is rammed into them, crushed stone is poured in, it is also rammed, formwork is installed from boards 20-25 cm high.

The foundation for the terrace can be made of brick columns

Several pieces of reinforcement are laid on the halves of the bricks - along and across - to make a cage (2-3 bars each). A pipe is inserted into the middle (verticality is checked). All this is poured with concrete (it is possible with gravel). Thickness - 20 cm.

After the mortar has set, a brick column is made around the pipe. The height is brought out just below the required flooring height - leave room for the lower strapping.

How to make a bottom harness

There are two options for installing support poles:

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

Another option for the foundation for the terrace is ready-made concrete blocks. It is only necessary to dig an appropriate pit for each column, make gravel bedding, put a half-block, and a rectangular block on top of the solution

The first method is more commonly used, but the second is also the case. It requires a little less cost, but there will be more fuss with laying the log.

In the manufacture of 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 a double-folded roofing material or smear with mastic, liquid waterproofing).

There are a lot of bars, but you can cheat by making a spliced ​​timber from the boards. It is not suitable for supporting pillars - the appearance is not the same, but for the lag it is even better, as it has increased strength. How to make a beam from boards:

  • Take an edged board in 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 joined is determined based on the required thickness of the timber. If you need a beam with a thickness of 75 mm, 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 boards to be spliced). When connecting, the fasteners are staggered.
  • When creating long bars, boards can be spliced. But at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the joint from the joint is at a distance of at least half a meter.
  • Such spliced ​​bars are laid on the edge. Only in this state do they have high strength (even stronger than solid timber).

What does the frame for the terrace look like?

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

It is possible to create a metal frame. You can use a powerful corner, a square pipe. This base is more reliable and durable. It is well primed, then carefully painted and will serve for decades. In order not to be damaged by contact with the metal, the board is glued to the metal with a waterproofing material - such as "TechnoNIKOL", etc. When fixing the flooring, you will have to drill holes - it is unlikely that you will be able to screw the screws directly.

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

After making and fixing the strapping, you can start making the flooring. A cutting board is usually used. There is a special terrace board - it has not a flat, but a wavy front surface, but it is often laid around fonts or pools built into 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 bend when walking.

Boards for boardwalk need a decent thickness. To make them last longer, they are treated with antiseptics and varnished or painted.

Tiled 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 coating, the technology can be greatly simplified. The process is very similar to the blind area around the house. The technology is similar, you can use the same techniques.

Easy 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 even, if the roof is not provided, a slope of 3-5 cm is formed per meter (from the foundation).

If there is abundant rainfall in the region, underground 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. For her, they dig a small recess (about half the diameter), where they put it. The end of the drainage pipe is led into a drainage well or into the sewer system.

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

So that plants do not germinate under the coating, they are treated with special chemistry. After processing, the profiled membrane is spread over the entire width. If you are laying drainage, then the edge of the membrane should go 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 10-15 cm membrane is placed on the wall. They fix it there. A layer of geotextile is rolled out from above. They also put him on the wall. Both films can be fixed with a clamping bar. The second edge of the geotextile ends above the drainage pipe (it is not fixed).

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

What would such a terrace look like?

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 coverage, calculate the desired depth of the pit around the house.

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

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


In the bath, we not only bathe, but also relax, communicate with friends. In summer, these gatherings are more pleasant to transfer and fresh air, therefore, terraces are attached to the baths.

Bath projects with a veranda and a terrace

Today you will not surprise anyone with your own bathhouse in a suburban area. Modern projects simply amaze the imagination - so compact and convenient in the building under one roof there are several rooms at once. The designs of baths with a terrace or attic, an attached veranda, a gazebo, a pool and other beautiful and functional buildings are very original. The 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, improve your health in a Russian bath, play billiards - and all this under one roof!

Bath with an attached gazebo

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

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

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

Bath project with gazebo

If the house or bath is at the design stage, it is better to immediately lay a gazebo or terrace into the project. These structures are indispensable for private housing construction. A bathhouse with a gazebo is convenient in that 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 a bath, watch TV, finally.

In winter, of course, you can’t sit on the open terrace after a hot bath. But you can build a bath with a veranda. This is a closed room, insulated and glazed. If you install a brazier on the veranda, its heat will be enough to heat a small room in the cold season.

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

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

Often a pool is installed in a bathhouse with a gazebo. The font can be placed on the terrace flush with the floor. Swimming pool under the same roof with a bath - it's great! After all, diving into cool water after a hot bath is an unforgettable pleasure.

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

Features of the construction of the gazebo

If the terrace is supposed to be a project, then the foundation for it must be laid along with the main one intended for the bath. This will ensure the building 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 rain and cold.

The gazebo, bathhouse and house should be designed in the same style, harmoniously fit into the landscape design of the site. Baths are most often built from wood: profiled timber, rounded logs, "wild" (unprocessed) wood. For the roof, soft tiles, slate, metal profiles are used. Such wooden bathhouses and gazebos need appropriate ones - a canopy on wooden poles of round or square section is perfect.

A stone gazebo is needed for a stone sauna. In this case, the columns for the terrace are made of brick, metal pipes, decorated with wild stone 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 rather heavy construction, moreover, it is very fire hazardous. In addition to the foundation, you will have to take care of the chimney and ventilation system. So that the smoke from the barbecue does not go into the house and the bath, it must be removed in a timely manner with electric hoods.

Another nuance for baths with a veranda and a barbecue is that so that smoke does not enter the house or bath through open windows, it is better to attach the terrace to a blank wall that does not have windows.

Bath with an attic

A house or a 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, a rest room, a shower room will fit perfectly. On the second floor you can place a guest bedroom, a billiard room and any other room.

Very economical and functional bath projects with an attic and a terrace. In such structures, hinged balconies are often made, which are also used as small verandas. On the lower terrace, you can put a large table or build a pool. It is 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 bath 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 under the bath is well deepened, reinforced and poured with a continuous layer of concrete.

The roof for a bath 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 rest room. But for bedrooms and living rooms, more space will be required - in this case, it is better to make the roof broken, which has a complex shape.

Combining a bath with a house and a veranda

Combined buildings are considered the most compact. So, even on a small plot, a house, a bathhouse, and even a terrace with a pool will fit quite well.

To bring this idea to life, you can use the corner project. According to this plan, the house and the bath are on opposite sides, and a terrace connects them.

The veranda can be closed, then it will be convenient to use it to move from a warm house to a hot bath. When it’s cold and damp outside, you don’t really want to leave the house once again. And if you install a brazier, a fireplace or a small pool on the veranda, then this place will become the most beloved for all households.

An open terrace in corner structures also has its advantages. For such a rest room, you can come up with an original finish, put sun loungers here for sunbathing or install a small tea table. All the delights of the outdoor terrace are felt in the summer, because it is 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. You can build more living rooms, make a spacious hall on the second floor, or supplement an ordinary bath with a dry Finnish sauna.

Conclusion

A bathhouse with an attic, a gazebo, a terrace or with an ordinary 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 in the cold season, taking a steam bath. And additional buildings under one roof simply add comfort, and, of course, beauty and status. If the funds do not yet allow the construction of a complex structure, you can limit yourself to a bathhouse, and then, as far as possible, supplement it with a veranda, pool or attic.

Bath project with a veranda


Projects of a bath with a veranda and a terrace You won’t surprise anyone today with your own bath in a suburban area. Modern projects are simply amazing - so compact and convenient in

When buying a land plot, not everyone can afford a huge territory, so you need to carefully consider the location of buildings. If there is not enough free space, then it is necessary to combine the buildings with each other, combine them under one roof. One of these options is a bath with a veranda, where you can build a barbecue and create a comfortable seating area. Thus, it will be possible to save not only on usable space, but also on building materials.

When constructing a veranda with a bathhouse under a common roof, you can think about creating an attic floor or guest rooms, thereby increasing the functional load on the building without sacrificing square meters of an already small area. Creating one multifunctional complex is much more profitable than building several separate buildings. If you carefully consider the layout of the building, you can make it not only functional, but also attractive in appearance. Having harmoniously entered the design into the landscape design of the site, the bath complex can become a real highlight, an outlet for the owner of the territory.

The veranda can be used as a seating area or a dining area. Having placed a brazier on the veranda, you can bring together the whole family, who will be happy to relax both at the table and in the bath. If the bath will be operated only in the summer, then the veranda can also be made open, but if the use of the bath is year-round, then the veranda is built of a closed type. In general, the building is mounted in such a way that the roof of the bathhouse and the veranda are common, and they are connected to each other by a common wall.


Varieties of verandas and features of their layout

Depending on its location, the veranda is divided into several categories:

  • Frontal - attached from the side of the facade.
  • Lateral - is constructed from the side of the bath, attached to the outer wall.
  • Circular - encircles the house, surrounding it from all sides.
  • Corner - located at the junction of capital walls. In this case, the veranda will act as defensive redoubts for the bath, protecting it from the cold and gusts of wind.
  • Semicircular - this option is not recommended, since the veranda will not have direct access to the street.

In the classic version, a rectangular or square veranda is used, as it has the correct appearance and is much more convenient to operate than rounded options. It is necessary to build both parts of the building from the same material in order to create the impression of a single structure, the best option is wood. This is an environmentally friendly and safe option, the advantages of which are invaluable. The only nuance that must be taken into account when creating a building is that a gap of one centimeter must be left between the bath and the veranda to avoid skew.

If ordering an individual plan and building is expensive, but you can’t build it yourself, then you can use a ready-made factory project, the assembly of which can be done in a week. Combining a bath and a veranda, you need to immediately find a project that provides for their combination.


The first step in the construction of a veranda and a bath from a bar will be the choice of the project and dimensions of the building. At the moment, a veranda with an area of ​​​​6-10 square meters will be an ideal option. They are quite enough to install a barbecue or a fireplace, arrange beautiful furniture and a small table. In general, a simple rule can be traced here - the larger the area, the more expensive the construction, so everything depends on the finances and desires of the owner.

When planning a building on a land plot, it is important to properly position it. Ideally, the exit from the veranda to the street should be located on the south side, so the entrance will always be less snowy, which means it will be easier to get to it. If there is an artificial reservoir on the territory, then the bath is best placed closer to it.
According to the recommendation of experts, the distance between the bathhouse and a private house should be no more than ten meters, so the veranda can be used as a connecting element. In this case, the foundation must be laid immediately under three buildings, or they must be erected simultaneously. If the bath and the veranda will be used all year round, then the veranda should be closed. Having made the glazing, you can place a winter garden in the veranda, thereby increasing comfort and coziness, because it will be very pleasant to relax here after the bath.


Foundation for the veranda

The bathhouse and the veranda, located under the same roof and made of timber, are light in weight, however, the foundation must be built correctly and in accordance with all the rules. With the right approach, the foundation should be laid simultaneously under both rooms and be of the same type. The ideal option, both in terms of strength and cost, is columnar, block or brick.

Foundation pillars are laid in the corners, after which the rest are lined up around the perimeter, the distance between them should be about 60 centimeters. In places for posts, they dig a hole, the depth of which is one meter, after which sand, gravel and melted bitumen are poured into the bottom - thus, reliable waterproofing is made.
The next step in creating the foundation for the building is pouring concrete, after which you need to create pillars from blocks or bricks. The upper part is connected thanks to the grillage, it is best to use a reinforced concrete type. If the land plot has unstable soil, groundwater or slopes, then it is better to use a pile foundation.
The flooring in the veranda should be made a little lower, the difference in the height of the floors should be about twenty centimeters. In this way, the canopy can be brought under the roof of the bath, thereby creating a single roof structure. This option is especially relevant in the case when the veranda is being completed to the finished bath.

With enough desire and funds, you can create not just a combined building, which is a complex, but a real comfortable rest area not only for yourself and the whole family, but also for guests or friends.
