We learn how to make the shelves in the bath

No full rest can be imagined without a real Russian bath. But it will also be difficult to call it, if there are no normal regiments in the bath.

And their arrangement is quite strict requirements, because otherwise the design simply can not withstand the temperature changes that are in this room. So how do you make poles in a bath that will serve you faithfully for more than one season?

Basic principles of construction

Any sauna shop consists of two main elements: support pillars and flooring. The main strength requirements are imposed on the middle beam, which passes through the entire deck and joins with two supports using cross bars.

Necessarily need to fill the boards on the central flooring so that there is a gap between them of not less than 1.5-2 centimeters. That the whole structure is faster dried and less soaked, it is made with a slight bias.

A bit about the size

Before making the shelves in the bath, it is recommended to remember that their minimum width is one and a half meters. And do not forget that the first step must be at least 90 cm. The remaining "steps" are reduced by 15-20 cm.

This requirement is due to the fact that the poles are placed with tiers, placing them along those walls on which there are no windows. Separation of the tiers allows you to meet the needs of people who like different temperatures in the steam room.

If you make a flip- flop for a bath, then there is no choice: the swivel connection is preferable to do either at the highest level, or to lower it to the very bottom.

From what to do?

The best tree for this kind of shop is a linden tree. It has long been known that its pleasant aroma when heated not only soothes, but also has a beneficial effect on health. Since it is very easy to make shelves in a linden bath (it is soft), it can be recommended to beginners in construction.

The second suitable breed is aspen. It is durable, poorly absorbs moisture and sweat. The only drawback is its hardness, because of which it is necessary to take only the best quality tools for processing.

Mount the frame

Before you make the shelves in the bath, you need to prepare a few racks. Most often take ten bars, the dimensions of which correspond to 50x70x1090 mm. Between them, they are fastened with small crossbars from the same wood. As fasteners use conventional wood screws. But they are only suitable for attaching boards to the frame, since the masters use a completely different way.

How to connect

Real pros use oak wedges for this, which are driven into pre-drilled holes. But because of the burden of this method, you can often find self-tapping screws or even nails. If you use them, be sure to heat your hats as deep as possible in the wood, drilling for this purpose chamfers.

On the need for backs

We have already said that the lowest shelf is being folded. In many ways this design is due to the fact that it is easier to take care of it. As a result, the wall serves as the back. Given that there is a similar situation in other cases, there is simply no need for individual backs.

We hope that you will have comfortable shelves in the bath. How to make them, you already learned.
