A suburban area with a house is considered finally equipped when the architectural design of the bath is implemented with a terrace lounge and barbecue area. Bath was an element of Slavic life. It served to cleanse the body, hence the old name "soap".
The Slavic peoples had a bath cult. They loved to steam.
The very process of going to the bathhouse is a kind of ritual, including: knitting brooms, preparing decoctions from herbs, natural mixtures for cleansing the body with birch tar, honey. Many religious rituals are associated with the bath.
Bath project with an attached spacious terrace, pergola is the most common type of building. Despite the fact that the role of the soapbox was replaced by a bathtub or a shower stall, they could not replace the bathhouse. For a modern person, this is a place for wellness procedures, leisure, an opportunity to relax, have a great time with friends.
The desire to implement a bath project on the site is subconsciously hardwired into our hereditary code. The owner may not brag about the house, but he will emphasize, "what a bathhouse I have."
A suitable project is selected from catalogs on the Internet. It is possible to combine the bath with summer kitchen, billiard room.

Overview of typical projects
Projects with a bathhouse, a terrace, a barbecue veranda in the country, a personal plot are popular and in demand. Such equipment includes all the necessary elements for recreation.
Bath project 6 x 4 m with a veranda
The bath complex consists of three main elements: steam room, washing room, dressing room. Additionally, there is a locker room, a relaxation room, a terrace. A wooden door is installed between the steam room and the washing room. Sliding glass doors are popular now. They have handles that don't get hot.
What you need to consider in the project of a bath and barbecue
Sauna recreation complex in the estate with a terrace near the pond
There are SNIPs that determine the location of the building according to sanitary, fire safety standards.
According to SNIPs:
- distance from the fence, fence - 3 m;
- if there is a well on the territory of the personal plot, the distance from the bath is 8-12 m (so that groundwater is not polluted);
- the recommended distance to the main building, residential building is 8 m (for reasons of fire safety).
Before choosing a bath project with a veranda, a terrace, you need to consider the following factors:
- Before deciding on the project of a bath with a terrace, a barbecue, you need to think about how many guests will have a rest in the recreation complex. This determines the dimensions of the building, the size of the terrace for relaxation.
- The structure must be proportionate to the site, you need to observe the proportions. Unless a bath with a terrace is located on a separate territory.
- Will the sauna with a terrace be used in the cold season. When used in the off-season, in winter, it is additionally necessary to equip the building with a cut-off vestibule. Cold air from the street will not get inside the room.
- Choose a layout based on the equipment for the bath: steam room size; a mini-pool, font or shower cabin will be installed to take a dip after the steam room. Layout options suggest the presence of a washing room, a bathroom, a rest room, a locker room, an entrance hall (cutting off the vestibule), a bathroom. The toilet is usually made in the washroom. In order to place everything, you first need to make a drawing to scale.
- Material possibilities determine the cost of building, selection of materials, overall dimensions of the building.
On a raised foundation, a 6 x 6 m building made of timber and edged boards
The bath is recommended to be placed on the leeward side. The smoke from the sauna stove, barbecue will not blow into the territory of the building, terraces. It is cozy to relax when the smoke does not enter the recreation area. When planning a bath, it is necessary to make calculations for the chimneys. It is correct when the bathing part of the building with the steam room faces south. The advantage of this installation is the rapid heating of the building in the cold season.
The building is located on an elevated place to improve water flow. If this is not possible, raise the foundation.
If there is no centralized sewerage, a drain hole is made 5-6 meters from the bath. Laid out with bricks, poured with concrete around the perimeter.
The project of a two-story bath with a terrace 5 x 7 m
For an open terrace it is better to choose as a floor covering paving slabs, terrace board. Materials are resistant to moisture, temperature extremes.
Made for year-round use covered porch with glass.
Sample projects
Small building 6 x 4 from profiled timber, boards with a canopy
The project of a small bathhouse with a small terrace, without a barbecue, can be placed on 20 sq.m. As a rule, this is a small rectangular building with bath rooms (a steam room, a washing room with a shower, a small dressing room) and a rest room.
In such a bath, a stove-heater is enough to heat the entire house and a small rest room. The rectangular shape is practical, provides uniform heating of the room from the inside.
Log cabin made of calibrated timber for a comfortable stay
Saunas with a terrace from 35–40 m2 - a complex that includes elements of a bathhouse and a recreation area with a fairly spacious outdoor area. The terrace to the facade of the building can be attached to one of the walls later, if funds are limited, on a separate foundation.
Building with a spacious outbuilding, a barbecue for barbecue
In conditions of limited space suburban area, coupled with the desire to build a full-fledged recreation complex, they are implementing projects for baths with an attic.
Project benefits:
- significantly increases the usable area, with a compact building
- the roof covers the terrace and the building at once
- the pipe from the steam room stove serves as an additional source of heat for the attic floor
- on the second floor under the terrace, you can equip a balcony for relaxation, it will complement the architectural ensemble
Wellness complex with a bedroom on the attic floor
Among the best projects are two-story baths with an attic, a spacious terrace, a barbecue. They act as a summer kitchen. In fact, it is a small cottage, a residential building. Interesting projects with a sliding glass wall between the rest room and the attached gazebo.
Another sauna project with a terrace and a large relaxation room 7.5 x 5.5 m
The ladder is often installed on the first floor in the rest room. On the second floor they make bedrooms, a billiard room. If there is a swimming pool nearby, an artificial pond, it is appropriate to install sun loungers on the terrace.
Terrace, sauna room
Photos of projects with a corner location without a porch
In most bath projects, the terrace is traditionally located on the front side of the building, but not always. The most compact, ergonomic, in terms of space organization, corner one-story baths.
The covered terrace in the bathhouse is a place of comfort for relaxing after the steam room. They are covered with a common roof with a bath or a separate roof, with an adjoining. Lightweight, transparent polycarbonate is also used as a roof.
It is convenient to relax if you install a barbecue grill on the terrace. Mount a small kitchenette with a dining table, you get an outdoor dining room. It is desirable that a sink with a water supply be equipped. Need a place to store firewood. Decorate the bath terrace with flower arrangements in hanging pots.
Veranda with barbecue and small kitchen on the terrace
The terrace in the bath is open and closed. To prolong the pleasure of using the terrace after the bath in the off-season, install removable double-glazed windows.
Building with a glazed veranda
The rest room in the bath is equipped at its discretion. In the cold season, it can replace the terrace. Usually there are bathing equipment, a trestle bed for relaxation, a small soft corner, a fireplace fits into the interior. From the rest room there are doors to the dressing room and working rooms of the bath.

Strip foundation with a concrete bowl under the steam room, washing room
Even if it is planned to implement a small bath project, within 20 square meters, it is necessary to make a foundation. The main function is uniform distribution of the bearing load, gives stability to the building. Manufacturing, the type of foundation depends on the type of soil, materials of the walls of the bath.
You can use the services of professional builders, designers who will make all the calculations. You can calculate the technical characteristics of the bath foundation using an online calculator.
Types of foundation, based on the characteristics of the soil:
- Tape type. Recommend for expanded soils, with the installation of a "cushion" of sand and gravel, reinforcement
- On a sand and gravel cushion, erected on a columnar foundation, on clay, sandy soils
- Piles are suitable for a lightweight type of baths, frame-type buildings on stable soils (sandy, rocky)
Tape foundation for a bath
When erecting baths with a brick terrace, a strip foundation is installed. Log cabins are mounted on a columnar base. Under the foundation, they make a “pillow” of layers of rubble, sand, ram them.
The marking of the strip foundation is done using a level, a hydraulic level. Install the formwork from the boards, but it is better to use high-density polystyrene foam. It also serves as a heater. Under the attic-type bath, you need to lay, tie the fittings. The metal frame is poured with cement mortars with crushed stone.
The slab foundation is rarely installed, due to the specifics of buildings. Plates are mass-produced, standard sizes.
Wall materials
The original building with an attic made of clay pots, boards
The project of a bath with a terrace, a relaxation room is a corner of relaxation. Hence the desire to use environmentally friendly materials, wood, stone. In Russia, soap houses with steam rooms made of wood were built - this is a typical Russian bathhouse. Traditions have been preserved in our time.The use of impregnations, protective agents increases the technical characteristics of natural materials, extends the service life.
Wall material options:
- log cabin for a bath: a log, chopped by hand; calibrated; rounded;
- bar: double; glued;
- brickwork;
- foam concrete and gas silicate blocks;
- frame construction, a clay bath.
Construction size 6 x 9 of clay
The tree has a number of advantages, but also some disadvantages. It is necessary to periodically treat with protective equipment.
A somewhat exotic option for building a bath - a building made of clay, that is, from chopped firewood, sawn logs. They are laid out on a clay, cement base. Some projects from chopped, sawn firewood look very interesting.
Saunas with a terrace, barbecue from logs, timber
Glulam building with canopy
The construction of a bathhouse from logs chopped by hand is quite complicated. A suitable log must be cleaned of bark, dried (up to a year). Impregnate with agents that prevent the penetration of moisture, rotting wood. Then sort the logs, hollow out grooves in them for laying.
Due to differences in overall dimensions during installation, gaps may form that need to be caulked around the perimeter. The way to save your strength is to work with prepared material.
Calibrated rounded log - material that has passed all stages of preparation for construction, sizing, drying, processing. The finished material is immediately used for the construction of a bath with a terrace according to the project. But the cost of the material is higher.
Advantages of sauna log cabins:
- ecological cleanliness;
- aesthetic appeal;
- low thermal conductivity;
- no toxic emissions;
- vapor permeability;
- soundproofing;
- fast installation;
- therapeutic effect, in the process of heating, phytoncides are released;
- does not require interior decoration.
Building 5 x 6 from logs
A bath with a terrace made of timber has all the advantages of log cabins made of calibrated material. Prepared building timber - these are fitted slats, boards, which, with the help of glue under pressure, are connected into a single array.
They have an almost perfect fit, so the possibility of cold air entering through the gaps is minimized, unlike a chopped log.
Among the disadvantages of wood baths:
- low refractoriness
- even after impregnation, wood can be attacked by carpenter insects
- when shrinking in the corners, cracks sometimes form
It is necessary to regularly protect the outer part of the log house from moisture. In the summer, dry, impregnate with compounds that prevent the absorption of moisture.
Brickwork
Brick building with corner tiling in natural stone look
Brick is a reliable durable material, but hygroscopic, absorbs moisture. In conditions of improperly installed ventilation, waterproofing, there is a high risk of fungus formation. It takes much more time to warm up a brick masonry bath than for a wooden one, due to the high thermal conductivity.
Retains heat for a short time, requires additional heating. The thickness of the masonry is 25–38 cm, one and a half to two bricks. Inside, the steam room is trimmed with clapboard. It is attached to the rack frame with self-tapping screws. The best option for finishing the washroom is tile.
A brick bath will not be cheap. The material is heavy, the load on the foundation increases. When drawing up a project, it is necessary to take into account the heat loss of brickwork, to provide for external insulation of the layers.
Foam concrete, gas silicate blocks
Foam block in construction
Porous blocks, foam concrete, gas silicate - "golden mean", in terms of price and quality indicators.
Advantages:
- quick installation
- low thermal conductivity due to the presence of internal air pores
When choosing a bath project with a terrace, a veranda, a relaxation room, it is better to stay on foam blocks. Compared to gas silicate blocks, they have much lower hygroscopicity.Porous blocks have a small specific gravity, in comparison with bricks, even hollow ones.
Accordingly, the load on the foundation is less. From the outside, from the inside, it is necessary to veneer the walls with plaster.
Under a brick, block building, reinforcement strapping is made of metal bars for the foundation.
Frame baths with terrace and barbecue
Inexpensive frame type of buildings on a pile foundation
The most cost-effective material for baths with a terrace. Install on pile foundation, lightweight design. Requires thorough waterproofing.
If the integrity of the waterproofing layer is violated, the insulation mats are saturated with moisture, which sharply reduces their thermal conductivity (basalt, mineral heaters). Facing OSB boards swell and deform. Like wooden houses, materials have low fire safety.
Small baths with a terrace are installed on such columns.

Heat and vapor barrier
Vapor barrier for a bath
The specificity of baths is that in the working area, steam room, washing room, high temperature and humidity. Previously, log walls were caulked with natural moss; it took several hours to warm up the room.
Currently, they are trying to minimize heat loss, create the effect of a thermos, so that the bath warms up quickly, keeps warm. In addition, steam and waterproofing is needed so that condensate does not penetrate deep into the materials of walls, floors, ceilings, and quickly erode from there.
Floor insulation
Floor insulation with expanded clay
Expanded clay is used as a heater under a concrete screed in a steam room, a washing room. It is recommended to lay geotextiles on top of it. The advantage of expanded clay for warming baths with a terrace is that it easily passes moisture.
In winter, expanded clay and concrete are cooled, the heat from the stove has time to warm only the upper layers of the floor. The optimal way out is to install a “warm floor” system, which allows you to quickly heat up the steam room of the bath and keep the heat inside.
Concrete floors, which are covered with waterproof boards, are recommended to be additionally opened with liquid rubber (at least two layers). A dense waterproofing film is formed.
Increases the effect of sliding water. If you do not carry out waterproofing of the floor in the working rooms of the bath, soapy water interspersed with fat and sweat clings to the roughness of the concrete coating. It is difficult to clean it.
Insulation, moisture-resistant membranes for the ceiling, walls of the bath with a terrace
Wall insulation
The heated steam from the stove rises to the ceiling, so there is the highest temperature. Traditionally, the walls of the steam room of the bath are sheathed with clapboard made of hardwood. Coniferous tree varieties are not suitable, as resins are released when heated. Decorative lining is attached to rails.
In the process of heating, moisture, condensate penetrates into the gaps between the planks, accumulates in the cavity between the lining and the wall, ceiling. In order to prevent the penetration of moisture into the wall of the bath, a moisture-resistant barrier is installed on the path of condensate. Insulation is installed to prevent heat loss.
The construction market offers a range of insulation materials for moisture-resistant barriers and membranes. For projects of baths with a terrace, foil materials of a combined type are mainly used. They combine the properties of a heater and a vapor barrier.
The foil surface perfectly reflects thermal energy. The main rule when laying a heater, a vapor barrier is to eliminate the butt joints, they will be connected with foil tape.
In the rest room, locker room, where the humidity and temperature are lower, it is possible to use other types of insulation, vapor-tight membranes.
Ventilation device in baths with a terrace
Ventilation scheme
Properly installed ventilation in the steam room, washing - pledge of durability of finishing materials. If the room is quickly ventilated, quite normal circulation of air masses is ensured, moisture does not accumulate in the interstitial space. The tree does not deteriorate. Reduced to a minimum the possibility of the formation of fungus, mold.
Experts recommend making a small window in the steam room of the bath, located on the opposite wall from the door (40 x 40 cm), at the height of the door lintel. The second ventilation hole is punched below under the shelf (shelf in the steam room).
When the steam room is not in use, the doors and windows are opened, which ensures quick ventilation. In addition to natural ventilation, forced ventilation is installed, with a built-in check valve so that cold air does not enter the room.

Roof vapor barrier
The cost of construction is affected by the design of the roof. The best value for money - single, double. The hip roof is suitable for attic structures. The terrace is covered with one roof with a bath, with a single truss system.
The step between the rafters is done according to the calculations of the project. For an adjoining, protruding terrace, erected later, rafters and a sheathing under the roofing are installed separately. The site for the extension is planned, fenced off in advance.
As a roofing material, they use: roofing felt, soft tiles, ondulin, profiled sheet. It all depends on the design features of this project.

Sauna ovens with dry, wet steam
Kamenka in the steam room
Bake in the steam room they call it a "heater". There are many types of sauna stoves. Basically they are made of thick-walled metal, cast iron. They are covered with stones, heat-resistant bricks. The customer chooses a model based on the dimensions of the steam room.
A dry steam room differs from a wet one in the content of steam in the air. In order to get dry steam, the humidity should not exceed 15%. The heater is heated to a temperature of about 120 ⁰С and a little water is poured on it. Get almost dry air with fine steam.
Russian bath, or wet steam, will be obtained by heating the heater to 80 ⁰С. Then pour water from a ladle to form moist air. A dry steam room is called a sauna, a wet steam room is called a sauna.

Sauna with a terrace, barbecue - a wonderful health complex on its site. Favorite vacation spot where you can take a steam bath, then get some fresh air, have a get-together with friends, especially after a week of work, work in the garden.
Before proceeding with the development of a project for a bath with a terrace, a place for construction is determined, in accordance with the size of the site. Perhaps, during the construction of the house, a plot “for a bathhouse” was already allocated. Based on the size of the allotted area, choose an architectural project.
If you want a more spacious and functional room with a guest room, take a look at the design projects of a bath with a terrace and an attic floor. Think over the details of the location of the rooms, arrangement. Draw a schematic plan of the future building. Standard projects with a bathhouse, a terrace, a barbecue are taken as a basis.
Construction companies offer an individual project for a bath with a terrace of different sizes. They will help to build, equip a bath with a terrace.
Health-improving bath complex in the estate
Assess the possibilities. Construction can be carried out in stages. For example, in the fall, lay the foundation so that it settles. Lay the main communications. In spring, summer, build walls, a roof. And next year, move on to finishing. Attach the terrace later. It's good when you can still install next to the bath swimming pool, artificial pond. It is good when the house is located on the shore of a natural reservoir.
Construction of a bathhouse with a terrace on a personal plot - the final chord of landscaping. A visit to the bathhouse with a good steam room, a spacious terrace for relaxation will restore health. This is a place where you can have a good time with family and friends.
