• only coniferous tree that is perfectly suited for bath-barrels, a cedar.It has many healing properties, including aromatherapy .Cedar is remarkable and its technical qualities - it does not warp or crack from the temperature difference, not gives shrinkage , resistant to moisture and defeat microorganisms.In addition, this wood has a wonderful rich texture patterns and color shades that are very important for solving the aesthetic design of the bath.
• excellent option for the construction of a bath-barrels and oak will, strength and hardness structure which allows the structure to serve for many years.In addition, the moisture tempers oak wood and makes it stronger.But this material - quite expensive, so it is often used only for the manufacture of certain construction elements.

Oak Wood has deep saturated dark shades and different textured pattern.It is just like a cedar, has healing qualities, so suitable for baths in all respects.

The main drawback of the structure of lime can be called fragility, because the low density and little resistance to fungal attack leads to rot and damage the wood.

• More one timber, which was used for the construction of a bath-barrels, is aspen - it is very similar to the characteristics of lime.It has almost the same positive and negative qualities, but a little better tolerate moisture, does not deform and crack less.

Aspen has a low price, so the bath, built of her , can be called a budget option.

Species-barrel baths

Bani barrels can be three different types:

• Saunas dry pair.For such a good idea to have a bath next to the font with cold water or even a traditional wooden bucket , suspended near the exit of the steam room.
• traditional Russian sauna with hot and wet steam with a broom.It consists of two rooms - steam and washing.
• ofuro - Japanese bath-barrel, similar to the font, but has a built-in heater of the furnace.

Traditional bath

This kind of bath is familiar and habitual all .The very pomyvka it consists of two procedures for which two rooms are required:

• Steam - is a room that is filled with the steam from the water to splash out on the heated stones.It is better if steam is away from vara of medicinal herbs cleansing .
• Washing - this room, which take water treatments after a good steam in the steam room.

Since this bath water is used, the barrel must be provided in the design of the floor system in drainage , but that was not her stagnation, the building itself is set with a slight slope.

furnace in the bath is installed between two rooms.It certainly must be equipped with a tank where it is heated water - this part of the furnace goes out in the wash.The fresh branch out special mesh with stones, heated by the furnace.

firebox of the furnace goes out in the wash, and it must-isolate to not get burn during washing.The heater must be compact, as in a bath, a barrel is very limited.The walls of heat-resistant material around the stove closed.

Sauna

heals Japanese bath 10 - 20 minutes.Then you need to pound steamed body tough gauntlet, which is similar to a broom in a Russian bath.

Preparation of material for the construction of the barrel-bath

Few know what the wood is better suited for the construction of a bath-barrels - very important to choose and buy a well-prepared, high-quality material.

• If the owner does not have its own wood processing equipment, it is best to order the necessary amount of material qualified technician, making drawing and point to it sizes.It should be noted that the production of billets to the barrel-bath - is a very laborious process, since they have to be tailored perfectly to each other.

• number boards will depend on the planned diameter of the barrel.To calculate the number, have do drawing to scale, draw a circle and divide accurately it to the width of the board from which the barrel is assembled.The size of the room will depend on the length of the boards.Usually structure length varies from 2.5 to 6 meters, depending on what is planned to be built bath.
• In addition, the board will be needed, which will be made from "the bottom», ie rear wall and the front barrel its part with opening for the door.
• needed wooden boards for the supports under the barrel.All
• structure necessarily contracted by iron bars that look like real hoops on a conventional barrel.
• room should be closed tightly, so the door and windows must be adjusted very precisely.
• be required boards for flooring and benches.

• Required heat-resistant material for thermal insulation of the furnace from a wooden surface - usually used for this Miners .
• There should be a small window for ventilation.
• think over, from what and as the chimney pipe is made.
• finished pipe to drain water, if it is Russian bath, hot water tank, sump, if in the washing room is arranged shower.

• used for mounting screws and nails of stainless steel.

• input Besides sauna-barrel may include in its structure a small open veranda at the entrance.also need to provide building material for this element.

drainage Organization

Banja , which uses large amounts of water, the system requires a device its removal.Some believe, that enough to make a hole in the floor , that would liquid dripped and soaked into the ground.However, if the room is used often, high humidity under the structure, can lead to rot and fungus - first unpleasant odor appears, and then the floor will be unreliable and, in the end, just fail .Therefore, it is better to take care of proper drainage device.

As mentioned above, sauna-barrel set with a slight slope back to the water running down to the end of the wash room where the drain in the floor arranged special hole, joined reflux rubu extending into the drain hole.Pipe, decal to the floor, it is necessary to warm, as in the winter from the temperature difference, it may just burst.

As for lukruglomu floor walking difficult, so the bottom of the bath-barrels arranged grating.On this floor is convenient move on its surface is not delayed water and dry the board on all sides.

bath barrel with his hands - steps

prepare in in ce construction elements according to the drawing, they are treated with antiseptic, dried and start the assembly.

Assembly base barrel

Without a solid foundation, the whole building will unreliable , since it assumes the entire load and maintains the structure of ground.

• The base consists of two, three four or elements (depending on the total length of the structure) - planks having a width of 300 ÷ 350 mm, and a thickness of 35 - 40 mm.Each of them is marked and cut out recess, repeats in shape and size arc contours assembled cylinder barrels, because in the future on the basis of the board will be fastened the bottom of the structure.
• cutting out the stand, put them on a specific same distance from each other.The first stand must be under the front door a bath, and the last - under the rear wall.
• Next , the support necessary to bond with each other in a rigid flat design.

Production of the front and rear walls

• When stand under the structure is ready, you can start making the back and front of his walls.These parts must be perfectly flat shape.
