Bathhouse projects with a loggia and barbecue are an excellent method to compensate for the lack of free space on a suburban area. This combination allows you to create a functional entertainment area, which can additionally be used as a summer kitchen.
In addition, this solution has other advantages:
- organization of a complete relaxation - after steaming and relaxing after the bath, you can immediately cook barbecue or snacks on the fire on the veranda;
- integrated construction can help accurately transfer the overall building style for all buildings on the site;
- if a bathhouse in a country house is planned to be used exclusively during the season, then an extensive loggia with a barbecue can completely replace the entertainment room, which will help to save significantly on the construction of a bathhouse;
- there is no need to connect separate objects with paths, thanks to which you can additionally save the required area and reduce costs;
- combining several objects under one roof will help to significantly reduce costs, since in such a situation, for example, the wall of a bathhouse will also become the wall of a loggia.
Selection of material
Complex including swimming pools, sauna and extensive entertainment area
A very well-known and economically viable material for building a bathhouse with a loggia is wood beams. On the one hand, it retains heat well, so the bathhouse will not require auxiliary insulation. In addition, wood itself is a common material for a Russian bath; it allows you to create an exclusive “bath” atmosphere. An additional plus is that wood, as a “breathable” material, independently regulates humidity, although at the same time it requires additional safety from mold and fire.
Brick baths are more reliable in terms of fire protection, although they take longer to heat up and require the greatest amount of fuel. In addition, brick baths will require the mandatory installation of a ventilation system, otherwise condensation will begin to accumulate inside the bath, provoking the formation of mold and microbes.

Laying the foundation
Despite the often common roof, under the loggia and the bathhouse they lay different foundation. The bathhouse, of course, is heavier than the loggia, therefore for the largest in area and high-rise buildings A solid strip foundation is required, but for small baths it is possible to get by with a pile foundation. If foam concrete or brick is used to build a bathhouse, then a strip foundation will certainly be poured - otherwise it simply will not withstand the weight of the construction.
For a wooden loggia, a pile foundation will be quite sufficient. In those episodes when the loggia is placed on difficult soil, prone to freezing or crumbling, on slopes, then to increase stability it is more original to lay helical piles. At the same time, for wooden buildings it is important to create waterproofing between the wood and the foundation in order to avoid rotting of the wood.
A significant period of construction of the bathhouse - laying the foundation
Loggia and barbecue: counting correctly
When planning a loggia, first of all you need to take into account what purpose of the wind is considered the main one, so that the purpose of the bathhouse covers the loggia. In addition, this will allow the barbecue to be positioned correctly so that the wind carries the smoke and heat away from the visitors. If the loggia will serve as a refuge from the sun's rays on a hot summer day, then there is no need to place it in the southern direction. Or, on the contrary, a loggia with a sun lounger will most likely become a wonderful space for sunbathing - here it entirely depends on the desires and tastes of the owner. In addition, the selection of the location of the loggia is greatly influenced by the view around it - contemplation of the fence is unlikely to add to the mood on vacation, it is much more pleasant to enjoy a forest, a lake or a landscaped exterior.
The loggia can be placed frontally (i.e. along the facade of the bathhouse, Fig. 1), on the side (near one of the walls), it has the opportunity to have a corner location (along 2 adjacent walls) or encircling (along 3 walls, sometimes entirely around the bathhouse, if the territory allows).

Plan of an elegant and laconic bathhouse with a loggia and barbecue
If you don't expect to invite large number people, then taking into account the introduction of barbecue (barbecue), the smallest proposed loggia area is 7-8 m². Although it is best to start with 9-10 m², then in addition to tables and chairs on the loggia it will be possible to install a sun lounger, a couple of chairs, while the person standing at the barbecue will have enough free space for activities, and vacationers will not get bored with the heat from the stove and smoke.
Although a loggia in the traditional sense is an open area, for greatest convenience it contains a roof for safety from rain and sun. This may well be a continuation of the roof of the bathhouse and be made of a similar roofing material, or you can serve the loggia with translucent polycarbonate. In addition, an opaque canopy will create twilight in the bathhouse itself, so you will need to connect the light earlier.
Recommendation! Polycarbonate coating is especially suitable for large loggias - there is no need to build a powerful base, it is not heavy iron system will not clutter up the place, remaining virtually invisible.
For the floor on the loggia, it is preferable to use a wooden board or decking. Naturally, you can lay paving or ceramic tiles, although wood will look more comfortable. Natural stone is used in the form of spraying on a large loggia.
Natural stone will be a striking treatment for the loggia
To implement a barbecue, you need to lay the foundation separately, and for construction use a special fire brick, along with this, the base is made with a height of about 70 centimeters from the floor value.
Recommendation! To improve fire safety, near the barbecue it is more original to put stone (tile) tiles instead of wood coating - even if a spark falls on it, it will not cause a fire.
A rectangular niche is made in the front wall, in which it will be possible to store a small supply of firewood. To remove smoke from a barbecue, a certain chimney is made, which in height must guarantee effective removal of smoke from the bathhouse.
On the loggia you need to allocate space for firewood

Planning a bathhouse with a loggia and barbecue oven
The plan of a bathhouse, regardless of the type (Russian, Turkish, Finnish), must provide for the presence of at least 3 rooms:
- locker room - dressing room with the smallest volume of 1.2-3 m2, although along with this it is necessary to take into account that according to the standards per person there should be 1.3 m²;
- shower room - smallest volume 2x2 m;
- steam room - its volume is a compromise between the comfort of placement and the need to maintain the required temperature with low fuel (electricity) consumption. The smallest size of a steam room for 2-3 persons will be 1.3-1.8 m.
If there is a predominance of a spacious loggia for a seasonal bath, you can abandon the entertainment room. The planning of the remaining premises, of course, depends on the aspirations and probabilities of the future owner.

Let's take a closer look at the individual plans.
A corner bathhouse with a loggia and barbecue (Fig. 2) makes excellent use of the site area if you place it in one of the corners.
Rice. 2. Corner bathhouse with loggia and barbecue
The space is used too constructively - the spacious shower room has a plunge pool with cool water. The steam room is quite large - it will be quite comfortable to heat the stove in it; at the same time, it is moved closer to the corner, away from the front door - this is safer, since after the flashy lighting of the shower room, the eyes would like to get used to the subdued light of the steam room. If brick is chosen as the material for the bathhouse, then the stove can be embedded into the walls. If you arrange the steam room a little more insignificantly, then with this location of the stove it can be heated from the shower. There are 2 entrances to the common vestibule - one from the street, the second from the loggia.
Plan bathhouse-guest house(Fig. 3) with veranda and barbecue, quite large area- 98 m2. Therefore, if its year-round implementation is expected, installation of a heating system is required. Inside is an extensive entertainment room and some kitchen area. The loggia is located on the side, in area it is almost half of the building. Entrance from two sides - from the street through the vestibule (winter entrance) and from the loggia.

It is worth noting such an important fact that brick buildings can be finished with porcelain stoneware or tiles. This will give them a certain originality in appearance. Besides this, exterior finishing walls can be very interestingly combined with one or another type of roofing materials.
The bathhouse is usually covered with pliable roofing materials, and it is possible that tiles, slate or metal profiles will be used. Along with this, you can build both an ordinary gable roof and an attic. The attic is good because it allows you to combine buildings with a bathhouse for visitors to live in; in addition, you can equip an office or a room for summer recreation there.
The final step in choosing a project for building a bathhouse is to develop it either in three-dimensional form or in paper form. This is how you will have the opportunity to see the bathhouse with your own eyes long before it is built. This will allow you to make the necessary corrections during construction, and it will become much easier to build a room according to a plan created in advance.
A bathhouse is not only a cleansing and healing procedure, but also a club of interests, a meeting place for friends. And besides gatherings in the recreation room, sometimes it’s nice to spend time outside. For such gatherings, terraces are added to the house. They can be open - if gatherings are planned only in the warm season, or closed - if you sometimes relax there in the winter.
Meeting friends, conversation and relaxation are closely associated with barbecue. Where there is a barbecue, there is a grill. Better yet portable barbecue there can only be a stationary barbecue. So they often plan bathhouses with a terrace and barbecue.
In this bathhouse project, the terrace covers the bathhouse on three sides. A decent area will allow you to sit comfortably for any campaign. If desired, part of the terrace can be made closed. You can relax in it on cool days. You can install a barbecue on a separate stand or do it in one of the blind corners.
According to the internal layout of the bathhouse project. Pay attention to how the stove is installed. It heats four adjacent rooms at once. If you plan to place a bathhouse and winter time, you will have to provide additional heating for the rest room, so more power will be required. But the rest room will require separate source heat: it has decent dimensions, and sauna stove not heated.
In the case of an all-season bath, it will be necessary to fence off part of the rest room as a vestibule or hallway. To cold air did not interfere with resting after the bath.
This bathhouse project has two entrances - one from the porch, the second from the terrace. The building has a separate bathroom and a fairly spacious kitchen, but the area occupied by the entire building with extensions is considerable: 14 * 7 m. At the entrance from the porch there is a separate vestibule. This entrance was planned as a winter one. In summer you can open wide sliding doors, making the terrace even larger.
The layout option for a corner bath is quite functional. She occupies a minimum of space, having everything necessary premises. The shower room is spacious enough for installation. The stove is heated from a steam room, which is possible given its dimensions. By moving the doors, you can install the stove closer to the corner and embed it into the wall. This way it will be heated from the shower, which in some cases is more convenient. For the remaining rooms, it will be necessary to think through the heating system (if the bathhouse will be used in winter).
This layout has a “disease” of many projects: there is no vestibule for winter use. But there is a locker room here, which is undoubtedly good. The only problem is that humid air will come from the washroom, and wet clothes are unacceptable. Therefore, in this room there should be very good ventilation. It is imperative to provide an inlet and outlet ventilation opening, as well as install an exhaust fan at the outlet. Only in this case can rapid removal of moisture be ensured.
Which project to choose
The terrace can be located very close to the bathhouse - adjoining one or more sides to the walls of the building, or it can be placed at some distance from the house. Another option is to make a large area close to the house and a small extension, connected by a path, for installing a barbecue - so that the smoke does not interfere.
The roof of the terrace and the house can be common, but the foundations must be independent. Between the base of the house and the site, if they are very close, a layer of insulation is laid. It serves as a separator. Thanks to this option, shrinkage of the bathhouse and terrace can take place independently.
Since shrinkage can be uneven, when planning a house and a barbecue under one roof, the rafter system is made floating. It has the ability to compensate, to a certain level, for the unevenness of the changes occurring.
What kind of foundation will be under the terrace?
For terraces with wooden flooring They often make columnar foundations - they are easier to manufacture and cheaper. For areas finished with tiles or porcelain stoneware, an insulated slab is needed if the finishing is paving slabs, it can be placed on a profiled membrane and a backfill of crushed stone and sand. This is perhaps the most inexpensive and fastest option.
A pile foundation requires less expense, but only requires the installation of wooden support posts on which the roof will rest. Such barbecue terraces often have a low wooden fence. These projects “fit” well into the traditional style: they are attached to walls made of logs or timber.
To baths made in modern style, more often open terraces with tiles (ceramic or paving) lined with finishing stone are built. But for brick or stone pillars, it is necessary to make a shallow slab foundation with insulation. In winter, on heaving soils without insulation, not a single finishing material will not hold, and the slab may crack (and, most likely, it will). Without insulation, you can make a foundation for a terrace only on dry sandy loam soils that are not prone to heaving.
How to build a slab for a terrace with a barbecue with your own hands
The construction of any foundation begins with earthworks. First, select soil to the width of the planned terrace, plus fifty centimeters. This half a meter is used to create a protected insulated blind area. It covers the side of the stove and prevents it from freezing.
The depth of the pit depends on the region, the degree of soil heaving, and the thickness of the finishing.
It is recommended to use extruded polystyrene foam (EPS) as insulation for the slab base. high density(not less than 35 kg/m3). It has excellent heat-insulating properties, does not rot, does not absorb water, is not damaged by rodents and insects, fungi and mold do not develop on it, in addition, it is resistant to mechanical stress. For middle zone In Russia, the thickness of polystyrene boards should be about 100 mm.
How to connect the base of the terrace to the foundation of a bathhouse or house is shown in the figure. Please note that SPA anchors are not a required part. If the slab is insulated correctly, there will be no shifts or movements. Even if the entire terrace is covered with bricks. But for your own peace of mind, you can install them.
Bedding
In the pit for the terrace, the remaining soil is leveled and compacted. A substrate of crushed stone (middle fraction) 10-15 cm thick is poured and compacted. It’s better not to do it manually, but with a vibrating plate - the result will be better, there will be less shrinkage. At this stage, the formation of the slope begins to create a blind area. From the edge of the terrace, at that same 50 cm, the crushed stone is leveled so that its layer becomes thinner towards the edge.
If the groundwater level is high, a drainage pipe is laid in the crushed stone. It should be located at a distance of 20-30 cm from the foundation of the house. Its function is to drain water that has fallen under the slab. 10-15 cm of sand is poured onto the compacted crushed stone, leveled, spilled, and also compacted to high density (when no trace of the boot remains). Here the slope for the blind area is also preserved.
Waterproofing and insulation
This is a modern waterproofing material - a profiled membrane. It has high reliability, and at the same time, due to the uneven surface, it compensates for heaving forces Waterproofing material is pricked on top. In the budget version it is dense polyethylene film(density 200 microns higher), but it is advisable to use other waterproofing materials, in particular polymer membranes. They are much stronger and more durable, and due to their uneven surface they partially compensate for the loads of winter heaving.
The width of the waterproofing should be decent: one edge should extend approximately 10-15 cm onto the wall of the building, the second should cover the entire width of the blind area (the second edge is not fixed, then sprinkled with soil).
Expanded polystyrene insulation boards are laid on the waterproofing. If the insulation thickness is 10 cm, it is better to take five-centimeter thick slabs and lay them in two layers, overlapping the joints of the lower row with sheets of the upper one. Expanded polystyrene is also laid in parts of the blind area, but here the thickness of the insulation is 50 mm (in this area the slope “from the foundation” is maintained).
Another layer of waterproofing is laid on the insulation, its width is the same, one edge is placed on the foundation of the bathhouse. Both films are fixed together with a clamping bar.
Reinforcement and filling of the slab
Now formwork is placed around the perimeter of the terrace (exactly along the perimeter of the terrace, excluding 50 cm for the blind area) - a board more than 100 cm high, reinforced with posts or jibs, you can sprinkle it lightly with soil. The reinforcement is laid out on the brick halves. They will provide a distance of 5 cm from the edge of the concrete slab.
When creating reinforced frame do not forget that reinforcement is required for each column or pillar. It is bent with the letter “G” and two such rods are tied in the right place For reinforcement, rods with a diameter of 6 mm are used. They are laid in increments of 100 mm both lengthwise and crosswise. They are tied at the intersections with knitting wire. Having completed the manufacture of the reinforcing frame, it is poured into the formwork concrete mixture. The thickness of the mortar layer is 10 cm. It can be made standard: 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 crushed stone, less water than cement.
To increase the frost resistance of the slab, it is advisable to treat it. Since the depth is shallow, you will need a surface model (you can rent it for a few hours).
Curing
After setting, the surface is covered with film. If it's worth hot weather, the slab is sprayed with water for several days. The next day after pouring, wetting is abundant, and on all subsequent days it is moderate. In addition to the film, you can cover the stove with something that does not allow light to pass through - uneven heating can cause cracks to form. If additives that accelerate the setting of cement were not introduced, then finishing can begin in three to four weeks.
The formwork can be removed a week after pouring. After this, soil can be poured over the blind area (extreme 50 cm) and leveled. If you wish, you can then sow grass or plant flowers - that’s up to you as you wish.
Pile foundation for the terrace
If you are planning to build a terrace with wooden flooring, you can get by with an easy-to-make piled, drilled-rammed foundation. One note: this foundation will perform well in areas with low groundwater levels. If groundwater are close to the surface, it is better to make a shallow columnar one.
It is most convenient to use pipes. Metal ones are expensive, and they also need to be carefully treated to prevent rust; asbestos-cement ones are the most acceptable option. Some people install plastic sewer lines. Despite the low strength of such formwork, it can be a good option. After all, the plastic is smooth, and it will be difficult for the emerging lateral forces of heaving to “catch” it. And they are the most difficult to deal with: they are almost not calculated.
In any case, the diameter of the pipes is about 20 cm. The pitch of installing the piles depends on the type of soil and the load on the terrace. On average it is 1-1.5 meters.
Wells are drilled in the ground below the freezing depth of the soil. Approximately 15-20 cm of crushed stone is added and the crushed stone is compacted. Insert the pipes, placing their upper edges at the same level. To make installation easier, you can throw a couple of shovels of crushed stone inside the pipe.
Vertical installation is checked, alignment on planes and easier to do with the help of stretched threads. To do this, reinforcement bars are driven in at key points, they are also positioned vertically, then cords are tied to mark the lines for installing the pillars.
Two or three reinforcement bars (diameter 8-10 mm) need to be driven into each pipe. They must first be connected to each other. You can use any sufficiently flexible and strong wire that will allow you to hold the rods in a given position. The reinforcement must be positioned so that each rod is at least 5 cm from the wall. This way they will be inaccessible to moisture and oxygen, which is why they will not rust.
After installing the reinforcement, you can pour the piles concrete mortar. To give the structure increased density, it is necessary to achieve homogeneity of the solution. IN in this case You need to use a submersible one, with a flexible shaft and mace length of 1.5-2 meters. As a last resort, you can pierce the concrete. They take a thick rod of reinforcement, pierce the concrete right through, and then shake it a little. This removes air bubbles. Do this immediately after pouring. As a result, the solution settles a little, you have to add a little. Another option is to knock on the pipe, but it is advisable or rubber mallet or a wooden mallet (so as not to break the asbestos, as it is quite fragile).
How to attach the harness
After the concrete has set, they are attached to the posts. wooden blocks bottom trim. Take better timber 150*50 mm or 75*150 mm. Before laying, they are treated with impregnations and antiseptics, if desired, tinted with stains and always covered with varnish or paint. Paint and varnish products are used for outdoor work. It will reliably protect the wood from atmospheric influences.
To prevent moisture from penetrating through the concrete to the wood, a layer of waterproofing (regular or euroroofing felt in two layers) can be laid on the tops of the piles under the bars. There are no problems with attaching the joists to the concrete. You can do this in several ways:
More difficulties arise when attaching the joists to the building: this operation is not often required. A reliable option is the following: on required level attach the timber to the wall (don’t forget to treat it). Fastened with studs (for example, M12*1000), wood grouse or anchor bolts(with a diameter of at least 10 mm). The installation step of the fasteners is 50-60 cm. To make the fastening more durable, they are installed in a zigzag pattern - one higher, the other lower. To prevent water from flowing between the wall and the timber, seal the joint with silicone sealant.
The logs and all other elements are attached to the beam with special fastenings made of galvanized iron (see photo).
The height of the terrace flooring should be slightly lower than the floor in the bathhouse or house. Approximately 25 mm. This will prevent water from flowing into the house. To make it easier to navigate, you can measure the height of the window sill in the room from the floor. Then, on the outside, mark a level 25 mm lower, then lower the level even lower, but this time by the thickness of the board (if you are using a board 25 mm thick, then in general the support beam should be nailed below the floor level in the house, not 50 mm).
Therefore, they begin to install the harness by attaching the support beam to the wall, and they are already guided by it when installing the harness and joists. The same block can be used when setting the level of piles (the piles are placed along the lower edge of the beam).
To two bars - one on the wall, the second on stilts - transverse bars - logs - are attached. Their installation step is 40-60 cm. After fixing the logs, you can nail the flooring to them. It can be made from edged boards, or maybe from a special terrace. It differs in that a wave-like profile is formed on one side. This surface is not so slippery even when wet.
Modern bathhouses with barbecues are the embodiment of versatility and smart use of space in terms of saving it. The projects are premises with the functionality of a bath complex (steam room, washing room, dressing room, and, if desired, a relaxation room), combined with a spacious terrace. This is where the barbecue is located: grill or summer option ovens.
A bathhouse with a barbecue area provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy not only the bathing procedures, but also the stay fresh air, from pleasure delicious food and communication. After all, we have a wonderful tradition of relaxing with a large friendly company in nature, treating ourselves to barbecue and good wine. Undoubtedly, a cozy terrace or gazebo will become a “center of attraction” for your family and friends. Today, a barbecue at a summer cottage is good form.
Wooden saunas with barbecue: pleasure and versatility
Select one of similar projects promises a double benefit: the developer receives a bathhouse and at the same time a well-equipped place to relax. There are quite a few options for summer hearths - numerous photos of projects, which, if desired, can be easily found on the Internet on the relevant sites, speak for themselves.
The barbecue can be decorated in any style that is in harmony with the architectural appearance of the bathhouse. Projects separately standing baths with a barbecue terrace suggest accommodation there large table, chairs, rocking chairs or benches, and definitely a barbecue made of brick. When constructing a stove or barbecue, all safety standards must be observed. By the way, it’s not so difficult if you have at least a small construction experience make them yourself.
The resting place is well protected from bad weather, which means its whims do not interfere with pre-planned friendly gatherings. While lighting a fire on open place difficult because strong wind and rain, it’s easy to deal with in a gazebo.
Often bathhouses with a barbecue area provide functional division terrace, veranda or gazebo areas. In one half, cooking takes place, in the other, guests relax.
Construction of bathhouses with barbecue
Since the recreation area is located on outdoors, projects of wooden baths with barbecue require the presence of a terrace, veranda, gazebo or just a canopy. It all depends on the area land plot and its landscape. But even in the smallest area it is quite possible to place a bathhouse with a barbecue - for example, a corner one.
The advantage of the design is that when minimum area the construction allows you to save precious square meters, but does not lose its versatility. The corner log house is compactly placed at the end of the plot, and the courtyard that appears in front of it becomes an excellent aesthetic addition to the beautiful terrace with a barbecue area. Projects of this kind often involve two entrances: to the premises of the bath complex and to the relaxation room. A terrace or veranda with cooking and relaxation areas is attached to one of the entrances.
A good option is a bathhouse with an attic. Movement “upward” and not “broadly” best demonstrates the possibilities of competent development of space. You will get a bathhouse and a beautiful garden or vegetable garden nearby, because you won’t have to sacrifice square meters for the sake of erecting a large log house.
Bathhouses with barbecues can be made from any building material, but in our deep conviction the best option is a tree: natural material, fully complying with all environmental standards and having outstanding consumer characteristics. Terraces made of smooth rounded logs, profiled or glued beams, which in themselves are quite decorative, will be attractive in their own way.
We advise you to plan construction several steps ahead - if you decide to install a bathhouse, immediately think about the gazebo. It will have to be built sooner or later anyway. Bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof – great option. The desired result is achieved much cheaper and faster.
It is necessary to make a few explanations about what a bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof is from the point of view of architects.
A gazebo is a free-standing lightweight structure that does not have main walls, load-bearing structures– vertical racks. May have different geometric shape, from a rectangle or square to a hexagon or circle. There are almost no restrictions on size; walls can be closed decorative grilles or be completely open. Barbecues, barbecues or stoves are placed inside.
If such a gazebo is placed under the same roof as a bathhouse, then the structure should no longer be correctly called a bathhouse with a gazebo, but a bathhouse with a terrace or veranda. But in colloquial speech you can come across the name “sauna with a gazebo under one roof.” And in the article we will use this “folk” name.
Despite the fact that there are many options for building a bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof, they all have common advantages.
The ability to increase the therapeutic effect of a steam room by staying in the fresh air. To do this, there is no need to move from one separate building to another; immediately after leaving the bathhouse, you can comfortably sit in the gazebo.
Much easier installation engineering communications. Lighting is powered from one power cable, a common distribution board is installed in two buildings, energy consumers are connected to the same RCD.
The area of the dacha plot is saved, issues with choosing the most suitable location are resolved, taking into account the characteristics of the landscape and the physical characteristics of the soil.
Significant financial savings. Construction of a bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof costs 30% less than both buildings with the same characteristics separately.
Construction of a separate complex will cost 30 percent more
Add to these advantages significant time savings, the ability to complete everything in one season construction work, put things in order on the site and you will have no doubts about how to develop your summer cottage site.
Brief overview of projects
Project No. 1. Bathhouse with gazebo and covered walkway
A very beautiful and functional solution. The bathhouse and gazebo are built on a shallow reinforced strip foundation - the integrity of the structure is guaranteed and the likelihood of problems arising in the roof valleys is eliminated.
For all buildings, valleys are considered the most problematic places, and if in these places there is even a slight displacement of the elements of the rafter system, then the risks of leaks increase significantly. The project is quite expensive and complex, the roof of the gazebo is multi-level with a large number stingrays various shapes and tilt angles. The dimensions of the bathhouse are 4x5 meters, the transition is 1.5x2 meters, the hexagonal gazebo with a diagonal size of 2.5 meters. Next to the gazebo there is a firewood storage room.
Project No. 2. Bathhouse with a hexagonal gazebo
Bathhouse with hexagonal gazebo
It has a warm sanitary unit, a wash room, a steam room and a rest room. Dimensions 5x9.38 meters. Bathhouse material - foam blocks, external finishing walls - cement-sand plaster.
Interiors are lined natural lining. A barbecue is attached near the wall, half of the roof of the gazebo is gable, the other half has hexagonal slopes. There is no separate transition - the consumption of building materials is reduced.
Project No. 3. Bathhouse with a gazebo under an elongated gable roof
Construction material – rounded logs, rafter system single, made according to universal sizes. The roof of the gazebo rests on separate vertical posts.
The gazebo has a stone stove for cooking, which allows it to be used as a kitchen in summer period time. Below we will talk in more detail about the methods of constructing a combined roof; in our opinion, many developers can choose this project option. In the meantime, check out a few more interesting projects of bathhouses with gazebos under one roof.
Project No. 4. Bathhouse with gazebo and barbecue
Quite an expensive project, but very functional and beautiful, can serve as a decoration for anything suburban area. The second floor of the bathhouse is attic, with a terrace at the end. On the same site as the gazebo there is a barbecue and a woodshed. This version of the bathhouse can be used as a residential country house.
Project No. 5. Bathhouse with a gazebo under one slope
One of the simplest projects from an architectural point of view, in terms of price it belongs to the “budget” option. The gazebo measures 2.6x6.0 meters, which allows you to place a barbecue, barbecue or summer Russian stove for cooking in it.
Video - Successful designs for a bathhouse with a gazebo
We’ll talk about the third project, tell you how to build a rafter system correctly, what criteria to use to select building materials and the type of foundation.
How to build a truss system for a bathhouse with a gazebo under an elongated gable roof (project No. 3)
The dimensions of the gazebo are 4x4.1 meters, the roof is gable, the vertical supports are made of timber 150x150 mm, the foundations for the vertical posts are columnar. When building a bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof, pay special attention to the quality of the foundations. A reinforced strip foundation was built under the bathhouse, and a columnar foundation was built under the gazebo. They are not related to single design, each one works separately.
General gable roof has quite large sizes, the length of the roof over the gazebo is 4 meters. This is a significant overhang over the bathhouse; a change in the vertical position of the rafter system near one wall by just 1 centimeter causes a change in the horizontal above the end of the gazebo by 3–4 centimeters, this is a lot for any roof. During the construction of foundations, every effort must be made to completely eliminate seasonal fluctuations. It is advisable to make the depth of the foundation (strip and columnar) below the soil freezing level in winter period time.
If you choose shallow foundations, then strictly follow the building regulations. The depth of the tape cannot be lower than 80 cm, the thickness sand cushion not less than 20 cm.
To reinforce the tape you need to take construction reinforcement periodic profileØ 10 mm or more.
Fittings and reinforcement according to SNiP
Another important point. After building the foundations, give them time to stand for natural shrinkage. To control the amount of shrinkage, make vertical marks on the tape and posts. Through certain time check their position using a water level; if they have moved, make new marks. It is recommended to begin construction only after the shrinkage of the foundations has completely stopped.
Columnar foundations must have anchors for fixing vertical posts; the width of the columns is at least 40x40 centimeters. If there are violations in the foundation construction technology, then during the operation of a bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof, big troubles will arise.

And one last thing. Wooden sauna also shrinks; depending on the insulation material, the moisture content of the timber and the parameters of the building, shrinkage can be up to 0.7 centimeters per meter of height. The vertical pillars of the roof above the gazebo, of course, do not have such shrinkage; the Mauerlats will bend with all very negative consequences. To prevent this from happening, you need to give the log structure time to completely shrink, and this will take at least one year. By the way, while the log house is settling, the foundation will also “calm down”.
Stages of construction of a rafter system over a bathhouse and gazebo
Step 1. Preparation of materials for the rafter system. For the rafter system, you need to purchase 150x150 mm timber for the mauerlats, 50x150 mm boards for the rafters and 50x100 mm boards for the crossbars and tie rods.
In our case, we choose simple rafter systems with crossbars and tie rods. To increase the strength of the structure, you can install ridge beams, headstocks and struts over the bathhouse. Such a design will not be superfluous; it will take on part of the load and will not allow deformation of the rafter system above the gazebo.
Step 2. Taking dimensions and calculating the number of rafters. According to the project, the width of the bathhouse and gazebo is 4 meters, the slope of the slopes is assumed to be 20°, this figure is satisfactory for the middle zone of our country. If you live in regions with heavy snow cover, then the slope of the slopes should be increased. The distance between the rafters is 80 centimeters, given the length of the bathhouse with an attic of 9.5 meters, 12 pairs will be needed rafter legs. The length of each rafter, taking into account the overhang, is 4.5 meters, in total for the building to create rafter legs you will need (4.5 + 4.5) × 12 = 108 linear meters boards 50×150 mm.
You need to buy with a reserve, increase this amount by 5÷10%. Exact quantity materials depends on their quality and your skill. Keep in mind that the boards of the rafter system must be at least first grade; the presence of deep cracks, natural malformations and rotten knots.
Important. When purchasing lumber, pay attention to the conditions and method of storage. Incorrectly stacked stacks can cause significant curvature of the boards - such material is not suitable for the construction of a rafter system. Inspect each board edgewise to make sure the surface is straight.
The standard length of the boards is 6 meters, which means that the boards will need to be cut. Sections 1.5 meters long will not go to waste; they can be connected and used for tightening.
Even ordinary connections can withstand high tensile forces, and these are the forces that act on tightening. Using the same scheme, calculate the remaining lumber for the rafter system.
Used as roof covering flexible tiles from modified bitumen, it is made for it continuous lathing from moisture-resistant plywood or OSB boards. For lathing, take the cheapest ones unedged boards, just remove the bark.

Step 3. Installation of the Mauerlat. For the Mauerlat you need to use 150×150 mm timber, upper crowns baths it is fastened with metal pins, the distance between the pins is within one meter. The dowel must hold at least two crowns of the log house.
Before installing the Mauerlat, be sure to check the height of all vertical supports along the perimeter of the gazebo. The ends must lie in a strictly horizontal position and in the same plane. To check, you need to use a hydraulic level or laser level. If deviations are found, they need to be eliminated.
Vertical supports are connected to columnar foundations anchors. For anchors, both reinforcement bars and pieces of wire rod are used. The anchor must be concreted into the foundation to a depth of at least 15 centimeters.
Start laying the mauerlats from the side of the gazebo; connecting the beams along the length can only be done above the bathhouse. It is easier to connect with a cut in half a tree; the connection point is fixed with self-tapping screws, nails, bolts or metal staples. During work, constantly monitor the distance between the opposite Mauerlats and their position in horizontal plane. The more accurately the mauerlats are laid, the more reliable the rafter system will be and the less time it will take to build it.

Step 4.
The roof of the bathhouse with a gazebo does not have any fractures or changes in the angle of inclination; all rafters are completely identical. This allows you to prepare elements according to a template. The template is made from ordinary boards, the nodes are connected with nails. Carry out the work carefully and slowly, mistakes are too expensive.
Important. We strongly recommend checking the template along the entire length of the bath. Lift it to the bathhouse, place it in the desired position and walk along the entire length of the building. Mark the places where you need to slightly increase or decrease the distance between the rafter legs, stop at the average value. The average value will give you the opportunity to make all the rafters the same size, and fine adjustment perform already during fixation of elements. On the template, make notch marks for connecting to the Mauerlat.
Step 5. Solve the issue of building a rafter system over the gazebo. Above the bathhouse there is ceiling, builders can walk on it, materials are stored in the attic. The gazebo does not have a ceiling; therefore, before starting construction of the rafter system, you will have to install factory scaffolding or make them yourself. Both options are equivalent in effectiveness; if possible, it is better to borrow wood for a while. If this is not possible, you will be forced to waste time making them. When working on scaffolding, follow safety regulations.

Step 6. Raise the prepared rafter legs onto the roof of the bathhouse. To install the rafters you will need additional materials for installing tie rods, special tools, fixtures and hardware for fixing rafter legs. In addition, pieces of boards are needed for their temporary fixation.
Step 7, check their placement, fix them in the desired position with temporary supports. To increase the stability of the rafter system, use metal corners with screws. Stretch ropes between the outer rafters and, one by one, install all the remaining elements of the rafter system along them. Do not forget to temporarily tie the rafters together with boards; after installing the sheathing, they will be removed. Nail the boards from below so that they do not interfere with the lathing under the roofing.
Step 8 horizontal tightening, it is more reliable to connect them with bolts. Drill holes in the rafters and tie rods, insert bolts of the required length and tighten the nuts tightly. To increase the contact area of the bolt head and nut, use large diameter washers.
You cannot make the rafter system yourself; you need to involve at least two assistants in the work. Try to find those who have personal experience in building a rafter system (even if only as an assistant) or, in extreme cases, have seen how real masters do it.
Check all dimensions, spatial position of elements and reliability of loaded critical components. Everything is fine - the rafter system is ready, you can start lathing and covering the roof.

Installation of sheathing under soft tiles
Lathing under soft roof– installation
Sheets of plywood or OSB are mounted on a sheathing of boards or slats. The distances between slats are within 50 centimeters. Start nailing lumber from the bottom; make templates to control the distances. If a lot of time has passed between the installation of the rafters and the installation of the sheathing, then their position should be checked. As always, use the tension between the outer rafters to do this. The plywood is fastened to the sheathing with nails, fastening also starts from the bottom up. After finishing the work, use a saw to trim the sheathing along the same line from the side of the gables.

What to pay extra attention to
As can be seen from the project, the distance between the vertical supports of the gazebo is from two to four meters. Such remoteness makes them unstable; it is necessary to take a set of additional measures to increase rigidity supporting structure rafter system.
Connect the supports at the top of the gazebo together with 50x100 mm boards. Before this, the lumber should be passed through a surface planer, sanded with rough sandpaper and coated with a scratch-resistant material. precipitation varnish.
The connection between the vertical supports of the gazebo and the boards can be done with long wood bolts; choose galvanized hardware. It is better to recess the heads and seal the holes with putty to match the lumber.
If, even after additional fastening of the supports, their stability is in doubt, install inclined corner supports. In the future, these supports can serve as a frame for construction. decorative fencing gazebos.
Bathhouses with a terrace always have a high foundation, which helps protect the room from dampness and cold in rainy weather. A spacious open summer terrace is the dream of every person who values outdoor recreation and warm sunny days. If it happens that your house is not equipped with a terrace, as happens quite often, you can compensate for this inconvenience by building a bathhouse in the yard according to one of individual projects which we offer for your viewing.
This option allows a person to simultaneously solve several problems:
- the presence of a personal bathhouse in your own yard;
- the presence of a terrace, which can serve as an ordinary gazebo, without which it is difficult to imagine summer gatherings in the yard;
- resolving the issue of family or friendly leisure activities;
- and even solving the housing problem, if you have such a need.
We offer to equip some terraces garden barbecues, grills or barbecues for parties, picnics and just family dinners.
