Making the font for a bath with his hands - instructions with drawings and dimensions

Alternation stay in the steam room with cold water immersion is one of the features traditionally accepted health treatments.For many owners of sites the main problem is the lack of natural bath next to the pond, where you can plunge.The installation on the territory of (or inside the building) font for a bath (tank) - the perfect solution to the problem.How to do it yourself, consider that - all the reader will learn by reading this article.

Recommend, or more simply, to impose something does not make sense.Each of us has an opinion on any subject, including - and fonts.And the baths are all different - in size, layout, design features and a number of other parameters.But some overview of the various models of fonts and their drawings will be useful for those who have decided to do everything with their own hands.

consider only those that you want to install inside the bath, but not on the local area.

Configurations fonts

Oval

This form is considered to be the most convenient, because such a font can be placed even in a relatively small area.The rigidity of the structure allows to manufacture large capacity for large volumes of water, and the assembly is done quite quickly.

Square

disadvantage of this form is the presence of corner joints.This reduces the strength of the structure (requires additional reinforcement).In practice, usually rounded corners.But the main disadvantage in the other - in a non-uniform drying of wood over the entire area.The less intensively the process proceeds exactly in the corners.Therefore, these fonts do outside the home in an area with a concrete bowl.

In principle, a typical mini-pool, and the peculiarities of its construction - a slightly different topic, which is discussed in detail here.

Triangle

to install in a small room a more acceptable design.

But the lack of the same - the presence of angles.How comfortable to use a font - at the discretion of the owner, although the triangular shape is not quite accustomed to the mini-pool.

Circle

great option font for a bath, but it is extremely difficult for independent production.

will require not only an exact fit all the parts, but also their articulation.In fact it is - a barrel, which is to collect from the individual boards and only a professional will be able to seal quality.

material manufacturing

Concrete

Making a font not difficult for a person who has built something with their own hands.The technology is simple - formwork, concrete loading solution + the same floor.

This version has a number of significant drawbacks:

Plastic

In this case, the concept of "own hands" is reduced only to the exterior of the finished tank.Containers of different sizes and shapes - not the deficit, so choose the optimum model is quite simple.

This font can be easily dismantled, transported.The only drawback - it is difficult to arrange artificial heating.But here the question - is it necessary?For the Russian bath is not typical, though on our site have a recommendation is for the independent design of such an arrangement.If you delve into the details, such containers are part of Japanese culture, and in Russia they have never been used.

Wood

No matter how much arguing "experts" bath business, but admittedly, for the font - the best option.From tree to work simply, although there are some difficulties.The process of preparation of the material takes a lot of time - drying, impregnation, giving the desired shape blanks, konopatka - nuanced enough.But it is this wooden font is the best for a bath.

What to consider in making the font

not every wood is suitable for the assembly of the font.It should be breed, firstly, a solid, secondly, with a minimum soaking liquid.As a rule, chosen cedar, larch, oak, beech.About all the features of these rocks - the effect of healing, antibacterial properties, and the like - it is not necessary to tell, as familiar with them all.Here are some features to be recalled for those who are accustomed to do everything thoroughly and conscientiously.

What think

Examples

drawing with specific dimensions of each master is determined independently.Any font is going for a particular bath.Therefore, sufficient to give only a few sample drawings (1 per person), so that was a clear definition of the principle of user-friendly designs.

Dimensions - in "mm".

What will it take for the manufacture

most suitable parameters blanks:

cost of finished font

For those who prefer to buy a plastic tank and confine its external design, is worth quoting indicative data.The cheapest model will cost in the range 32 000 - 42 000 rubles.

Well, what more appropriate - ready to buy Hot or build it yourself, from "zero" to you, dear reader.
