If you are a fan of steaming in the steam room, and you want to build such a bathhouse on your site, then this will not make you a lot of work. First of all, it is necessary to draw up a certain project of the bathhouse from the beam and calculate how much material will be spent. How to do this for a 6×4 bath in this article, however, following the calculation example, you can build a bathhouse of other sizes.
Wooden beam is the best material for a bathhouse of any size
The most important elements of the bath are a roof, walls and foundation. We will deal with the calculation of the materials that are required for construction, the finish of the bath is not included.
In order to build a foundation for a bathhouse that can be monolithic or a tape, it must be immersed in the soil to a certain height. Up the top it is necessary to build a basin from a stone or with a brick. Based on this, it becomes clear that the beam will not be involved in the foundation.
Due to the fact that baths of this size have a low weight, then a pile base is usually laid under it. The rods must be made according to the plan, and repeat all the contours. The pile should be installed in such a way that it is not only on every corner, but also at the intersections of the walls, and in the intervals between 2 m. It is on them that the crown of the log house will be installed.
You can also build baths on a columnar foundation, only for the beginning, you need a well for piles and a foundation pit for columns.
In order to calculate how much a bar is required to build walls, you can use the simplest way – to calculate how many rows of profile will go to one wall.
In order to build a gable roof, we are more than necessary for us, but this time we will use smooth. Depending on the very height of the roof, you can take a different step of the rafters, and the higher it is, the less you need to take a step – from 0.4 to 1 m.
For racks, rafters and ridge beams, lumber with a section of 150 × 50 mm is required. If you use sockets in low structures, then you can use a beam of 40×60 mm.
The beam will also need you not only for the walls themselves, the roof, but also to cover the floor, which is a lot important. Despite the lumber of various configurations that is used, it will not be very difficult to calculate it if you know the corresponding parameters of the building itself.
If you have a detailed design plan of the building itself with certain sizes, then it will be easy for you to easily start from the size, to calculate the amount of the necessary bar.
