Transportable baths: types, advantages and disadvantages. Portable bathhouse project.

For many people, the most pleasant type of relaxation is a bathhouse. Its hot, warming steam, the aroma of wood - all this sweetly relaxes the body and is a true pleasure for the soul. However, the construction of such a site, as a rule, is associated with large expenses - both monetary and physical. The ideal solution in this case would be a mobile sauna, which provides an opportunity for daily relaxation without unnecessary worries.

A mobile sauna is an opportunity to steam on the shore of a beautiful lake, river or stream in the forest. With it you can go anywhere, enjoy wild nature, stunning scenery and hot steam. In a word, those who dream of a bathhouse outside the city should change their dream a little, that is, dream of a mobile bathhouse. After all, for this, at least, you won’t have to start construction. Such designs are sold ready-made or as a kit that can be assembled in just one day. Such baths could have a built-in stove or without one at all.

Install such a bathhouse in your dacha and use it all year round for your own pleasure and cleansing of your soul and body. If you wish, you can always take it with you on a trip. Taking all this into account, it is worth understanding in more detail what a mobile sauna is and what its options exist.

Introduction

Transportable baths are solid, ready-to-use structures, delivered via special transport; they do not require local assembly from component elements. The structure is unloaded using a crane. Bath structures are installed and communication connections are launched. This bathhouse can be used within a few hours after unloading.

Turnkey mobile bathhouses do not require pouring a foundation, because, as a rule, delivery is made with a set of concrete blocks, and the structure is installed on these blocks. However, if this kit is not available, you can easily purchase, for example, inexpensive curb stones, and install them around the perimeter of the bath structure, with an interval of about 1.5-2 meters, in shallow holes with crushed stone dug in advance. You can only remove a little of the fertile layer.

In addition to the method described above, you can use two or three beams, laying them transversely, according to the dimensions of the structure. This foundation is good because it is easy to transfer during transportation, which cannot be done with a strip or column foundation.

Bathhouses for transportation are usually designed with a width of less than 2.5 meters, this allows them to be transported using a manipulator or other suitable vehicle without additional permits, since the dimensions are permissible according to road regulations.

Advantages and disadvantages of mobile baths

The advantages of such baths include:

• They are easy to install, transport, load and unload;
• Any location convenient for the owner is suitable for a randomly selected time;
• Ready for use within a few days from the time of placing an order with the manufacturer;
• You can save time and money on installation, compared to the traditional construction of a bath-sauna;
• Compact size, can be placed in almost any area;

• Bathhouse design (dimensions, interior design and materials) according to customer preferences;
• There is no need to pay for the work of builders and installers;
• One-time payment for transportation and unloading;
• Reduced foundation construction costs.

There are practically no disadvantages, a few include:

• Using raw wood in a structure can disrupt the fit of the interior finishes, therefore, it is important to give the structure a year to dry before installing the interior finishes;
• Small size of the bathhouse, compared to a traditional structure.

Care

In order for a mobile sauna to serve faithfully for many years, you need to take good care of it. For example:

• the trailer with the steam room is detached while the bath is in use;
• additional supports are installed so that the trailer with the sauna does not swing or overturn during operation, which is fraught with dire consequences;
• After the procedures, shelves and wood lathing are taken outside, thoroughly washed and dried naturally;
• The door of the steam room opens wide after using the bathhouse, while the stove operates at minimum power.

Proper use of a bathhouse is a guarantee of its durability, aesthetics and comfort.

Thus, dear readers, as you can see, building a steam room on wheels is a profitable investment. In addition, you can easily “recoup” the money spent. Don't believe me? The price per hour for renting this miracle in different regions of the country varies greatly, but in general it is 1000–2000 rubles. In general, now I’ll tell you in more detail.

Equipment of mobile baths

• These structures are usually equipped with the following basic elements:
• Wood stove;
• A container for hot water;
• Flooring, floorboard;
• Internal lining, lining made of linden or aspen;
• Drain channel;
• Ventilation.

The mobility of the highest class can be considered a bath structure created in the form of a trailer on wheels. This bathhouse is of the most compact size, making it easy to take with you on picnics and outdoor recreation.

In steam rooms of mobile bath structures, as a rule, there is pre-installed electrical wiring. Such a building, at first glance, has compact dimensions, but in fact, it is quite spacious. Some layout options include, among other things, a small recreation room and corresponding pieces of furniture.

Typically, profiled timber is used to make transportable baths. The structures in question are widespread throughout the country, due to their speed, simplicity and low monetary costs. Also, this is a good opportunity to purchase a fully functional bath building, equipped with all the necessary elements. At the same time, cheap steam rooms are in no way inferior to classic ones in terms of reliability. The basic costs for a finished structure are ultimately three times less than the construction of a similar structure from the very foundation.

In addition, there are known transportable bathhouses built on the basis of a standard trailer with dimensions of 2.3 by 6 meters. A good option would be to find a manufacturing company that will create a metal frame for such a steam room, bring it, and the owner of the future bath will handle the cladding, finishing and other furnishings independently. This will significantly save your budget.

How not to be deceived when ordering and purchasing

When purchasing a frame bath, you should pay attention to the following:

• Frame material - it must be well dried and made of wood with a low thermal conductivity threshold.
• Shelf material - shelves in the steam room should be made of deciduous trees - aspen or linden. See other options here.
• Stove – the heat-resistant steel from which the stove is made must contain at least 13% chromium. Read more about metal stoves.
• Windows – the windows in the bathhouse are double glazed. Find out more about windows.
• Electrics - the entire electrical part of the bath must be in a high-temperature and moisture-proof version.
• Manufacturer – professionals in their field must have a proven reputation. This applies not only to the bathhouse manufacturer, but also to the seller.

Frame baths have many positive reviews. This design is simple, but at the same time durable. And in general, a bathhouse is a great place for a great time, good rest and personal wellness, which can be achieved with the right choice of stones for the stove.

Types of transportable baths

Frame bath structure

This bathhouse is characterized by environmental friendliness and comfort. This building is characterized by rapid warm-up and long-term heat retention, which significantly reduces money spent on fuel. It is reliably known from user experience that the design has a long service life, namely 25 years without major repairs.

A frame made of metal gives the structure reliability and strength, which can be a very important factor for regions with strong gusty winds, because a completely wooden bathhouse can be overturned by the wind or deformed.

Bathhouse with attic extension

Such structures have been gaining popularity in recent years. The attic can become a kind of outdoor decorative element. A two-story bathhouse with an attic on the 2nd tier can be equipped with a comfortable relaxation room. You can optionally install a billiard table in the room. When forming a room, it is important to insulate the roof well.

This type of bathhouse will fit perfectly into a suburban area or cottage, giving it coziness and comfort.

Barrel sauna

A barrel-shaped bathhouse is a lightweight structure with a cylindrical shape, with the ends in the form of a circle or oval connected to each other by means of boards, and then screeded using metal hoops.

When constructing a bath, a groove connection is used. Precision is important in it to avoid the passage of moisture. The boards are well sanded and impregnated with a special environmentally friendly solution.

There are many nuances in the production of barrel-shaped baths, so it is important to trust professionals so as not to regret the purchase later.

The radius and length of the bathhouse will determine its future volume and area, and therefore the number of zones that can be placed there. The diameter of the building is no more than 2-2.5 meters, the length can be 2-6 meters. The stove is placed in the corner opposite the entrance, and the tanks are near the walls.

• Plywood or OSB - they will need to be treated with a special water-repellent compound. In addition, the sheets must be thick enough.

1. Installation of partitions. Linden is better suited for them, as the wood diffuses the aroma and has a healing effect.
