We make shelves for the bath with our own hands

An important role in the cozy sauna is played by its proper arrangement. When making shelves for this premise, you must follow certain rules in the manufacture, because they occupy the main part of the steam room, as well as the washing compartment. Next, we will consider some points that need to be considered when making a shelf for a bath with your own hands.

Selection of materials for shelves in the bath

Make bath furniture should only be made from environmentally friendly materials. Due to the fact that the wood is in contact with the skin when bathing, such products can harm it if they are of poor quality. Wood should not emit tar and dry quickly enough. Also, when in contact with the body, it can burn it. The most suitable are the boards of poplar, oak, linden, aspen, which are not only strong enough, but also pleasant for the human skin. Making such shelves for the bath with their own hands is not difficult.

The device of shelves has various variants:

• Stepped - shelves are located along a wall that does not have windows, in two or three tiers. With this arrangement, the lower shelf is cooler than the overlying ones. This arrangement is more suitable for a spacious bathhouse.
• L-shaped - the lower shelf and the top are attached to one wall, and opposite to them (on the next one) is attached the middle one.
• "Coupe" - in this case only two tiers are made, which are attached along one wall. The upper tier, as in the train, can be raised and fixed on the wall. This option is most suitable for small steam rooms, where you can not do without space saving.
• There is also a variant of collapsible shelves, which are easily disassembled and assembled. The big advantage of this arrangement of the device is their mobility, because the shelves can easily be taken out to the street and dried.

Making a shelf for a bath with your own hands

First install a wooden frame to which the boards are attached. It consists usually of 5 racks and 10 bars of 50 x 70 x 1090. The bars to the posts are fastened with screws, 2 screws per rack. The component parts of the frame are better connected with oak wedges, which are hammered into previously made holes. But basically, when making poles in a bath, their manufacturers do not want to load themselves with additional efforts and use in the form of fasteners usual screws, drowned in wood or screwed on the inside. When the frame is ready, the flooring from the boards is laid. The clearance between them in the floor is about 20 millimeters. When making shelves for the bath with your own hands, you should remember that the wood for them needs to be processed mechanically, but you do not need to impregnate or varnish it in any way. Shelves should have an aesthetic appearance, rounded ends and hold firmly. It is necessary that below there is an open space - it is left for air circulation and convenience for cleaning the floor. When the shelves are located, you need to calculate the necessary distance to the furnace, so as not to get a burn rising from them.

Dimensions

The main dimensions of the shelves are determined depending on the area of the room itself. The length of the bench for the bath should be at least 1.5 m. The optimal distance between the ceiling and the upper shelf is not more than 120 cm, and the height between levels is approximately 60 cm.
