Relaxing with friends in a bathhouse may become one of the most fascinating pastime options. It is especially pleasant to relax in this way when gatherings in the company take place directly under the visor of the veranda of a spacious bathhouse with a terrace.
Types of Verandas
Bath construction projects include the possibility of building several types of verandas:
- The front porch is attached to the front of the building.
- The side porch is located on one side of the building.
- The corner veranda is a rather original version, which is most often used when converging capital walls at a right angle.
- A girdling veranda surrounds the building along the entire perimeter.
Visor
It is advisable to build an attic in the form of a hinged visor from wood, or a strong metal sheet that can withstand strong wind gusts and the load from precipitation. An excellent alternative is to replace traditional coatings with sheets of transparent, high-strength polycarbonate. It is convenient to lay such a visor on a bent aluminum profile.
The visor reliably connects to the wall of the building and is supported by several racks. As supports, which are attached to the visor and act as its reliable support, you can use metal pipes, asbestos-cement pillars, or the same wooden beam.
Design Nuances
Currently, a sauna with a veranda can be built according to the most numerous projects. Therefore, among them it is not difficult to choose the most affordable and simple option. However, making the final decision, it is worth relying on some nuances, on which the convenience of operating the building will directly depend.
The primary task is to determine the optimal parameters of the terrace. One of the most common options is a 6 * 6 bath with a veranda. However, if you plan to regularly visit the steam room in a large company, it is advisable to pay attention to larger projects.
An effective solution is the construction of a bathhouse with a terrace, the walls of which are represented by sliding structures. Such a building, if desired, can easily be transformed into an open summer ground. Sliding walls can be made of glass panels, plastic, metal and even dense fabric.
Traditionally, terraces are located on one side of the main structure of the bath. But if you want, you can stretch it between the house and the bathhouse, giving the appearance of a rather original structure. If a small 6 * 6 bathhouse with a veranda is being built, in this case the lack of free space can easily be compensated by the construction of the most spacious terrace.
Important points
A bath with an attic and a veranda should have a reliable grip of all elements of the building. Unlike open terraces, verandas are built exclusively during the construction of the bathhouse itself. Otherwise, the design of the terrace will become noticeably “walk” over time. This becomes the result of seasonal soil movements. In violation of this requirement, a bathhouse from a bar with a veranda will not be a very safe structure.
For a reliable connection of the main capital structure and an additional lighter object, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:
- an extension and a bathhouse should be constructed from the same material;
- the floor of the veranda is arranged along the logs and falls a few centimeters below the surface level of the bath floor;
- the roof of the bathhouse and veranda should be connected using a sufficiently movable galvanized sheet;
- between the walls of the extension and the main structure, it is necessary to leave a small gap of the order of 1.5 cm, where any elastic material is laid.
Benefits
The sauna with a veranda has a wide range of advantages. The presence of the veranda allows visitors to the steam room to enjoy the fresh air, conveniently sitting at the table directly at the exit from the bath.
In the space of a free veranda, you can easily accommodate a convenient stove. Under the visor of such structures it is convenient to place structures for cooking barbecue. Such a sauna with a veranda makes it possible not only to cook without having to return to the house, but also helps to maintain the most comfortable air temperature in the annex.
In general, a sauna with a veranda is a truly profitable project. The competent implementation of the idea turns the terrace into an additional full room, which can be used for household needs and even living.
