What Russian doesn't like to take a steam bath? And if the bathhouse also has a pool, which you can plunge into after a hot steam room, that’s absolutely wonderful!

Of course, if you invite specialists, then building a pool will cost a pretty penny. If you try to build it with your own hands, the price will no longer be so prohibitive.

The construction process is labor-intensive, but the pleasure from bath procedures will more than repay all the efforts. Our instructions will help you go through all stages of construction step by step.

Choosing the type of pool

So, the decision to build has been made. What's next? The next step is to decide which type of pool suits us best.

There are three main types of pools.

Let's look at them in more detail.

• Stationary pools are considered the most durable and durable. In essence, they are a concrete bowl of arbitrary shape. It can either dig into the ground or remain on the surface.

Such structures can be open or closed, depending on how you plan to use them.

Advice!
Even if you decide to build an open-air pool, it is still worth covering it with a canopy so that it does not become clogged with various wood debris.

• Collapsible or temporary structures are usually made of PVC. Their main advantage is the ability to quickly install/dismantle and transfer from one place to another.

The simplest collapsible pool can be made with your own hands from thick polyethylene film. The film is perfectly welded using a regular iron in a shape close to a bowl and fits into a suitable frame.

After fixing to the frame, it can be filled with water. The pool is ready! The price of such an improvised reservoir will be minimal (as well as its service life).

• Hydromassage or spa pools. Sometimes, mistakenly, they are also called Jacuzzis. Just as “Xerox” is the name of one of the companies that produces copiers, so “Jacuzzi” is one of the manufacturers of hot tubs.

Hydromassage pools are usually purchased ready-made. They are small in volume and not designed for swimming. Their main purpose is massage and relaxation.

Not so long ago, cascade-type pools came into fashion. They consist of several bowls of different volumes and temperatures, for example decreasing. In this case, the water in the first bowl may be lukewarm, and in the last bowl it may be ice cold.

We bring plans to life

Having selected the most suitable type of pool for yourself, you can begin calculations and construction. The whole process is divided into three main stages.

It is important to give each of them maximum attention. Next, we will tell you how to build a sauna with a swimming pool with your own hands.

Deciding on the construction site

The most important thing when choosing a place for construction is to decide where we will build the pool: indoors or outdoors. Not only the size of the object itself will depend on this, but also the mode of its use - year-round, or only in the warm season.

During construction, you should also take into account the groundwater level. The foundation for the bowl must be at least a meter higher than this level, otherwise it will collapse.

When constructing inside a building, please note that the bowl should not touch the walls. Even small.

A small gap should be left between the side and the walls, which is filled with sand. This gap can also be filled with foam chips.

Choosing a shape and size

Design is rightfully considered the first stage of construction. It is necessary to take into account in advance that the price of the finished product very much depends not only on its size, but also on its shape. The more complex the shape of the pool, the higher it is.

When designing, we take the dimensions of the human body as a basis. So, for example, for dipping an adult, the dimensions of the mirror must be at least 2.2x2.2 m, and the depth - 1.5 m. If swimming is also planned in the pool, then its length increases to at least 5.5 m.

If you are planning to build a pool in a bathhouse with your own hands with a bowl shape other than rectangular, then it is best to order a ready-made project. This will greatly simplify installation work.

In addition, the finished project has the following advantages:

• Calculation of static loads on the reservoir bowl;
• Selection of equipment and communications;
• Taking into account the conditions for comfortable and safe operation of the bathhouse pool;
• Calculation of the required amount of materials.

Advice!
Even if you are designing a reservoir yourself, it is worth consulting with specialists.

We are building. We are building. We are building

So, the project is ready. Rolling up our sleeves, we get down to construction. And the first thing we will need to do is dig a pit. The dimensions of the pit for the pool should be approximately 0.5 m larger than the planned bowl and 30-40 centimeters deeper.

The bottom of the pit is made with a slope and a drain pipe with a diameter of 10-12 cm is installed in the deepest place. The pipe is connected by a pipe with a slight slope to the drainage pipe.

After this, the bottom of the pit is covered with a layer of sand 5-7 cm thick, on top of which crushed stone of the middle fraction is poured and compacted with tampers until a dense layer is formed.

Note!
must be at least 5 m from the pool!

In order to protect the walls of the pit from crumbling, they are protected along the edges with boards.

After this, horizontal lining of the walls is made from reinforcement of the same diameter so that a grid with cells of 30x30 cm or less is obtained. The mesh can be welded or tied with wire.

On the finished base, pour a layer of concrete 10-12 cm thick, after which we lay a reinforcing mesh of reinforcement. We connect the mesh to the wall reinforcement and again fill it with a 10-12 cm layer of concrete.

For pouring, it is best to use concrete with a maximum water absorption coefficient. The best option would be to use W-8 concrete.

The flooded bottom of the pool is left to stand for 12 to 16 hours. During this time, formwork is prepared for pouring the walls.

• We cover the bottom with roofing felt and put boards on top so that you can walk;
• We install the formwork boards and knock them down with bars; The distance from the formwork to the walls of the pit is 20-25 cm.

Note!
The bars must be inside the pit.

• Pour concrete in portions 15-20 cm high. We compact each layer thoroughly.
• The formwork can be removed after the concrete has set, i.e. in 2-3 days.

Note!
The entire filling must be done at one time.

The concrete dries completely within 2-3 weeks. After removing the formwork in the warm season, it should be watered with water 2-3 times a day throughout the first week.

The finished bowl is tiled or filled with liquid glass.

The pool is ready. Equipment can be installed. The video in this article will help you learn more about making a swimming pool for a sauna with your own hands.

A bathhouse or sauna is a favorite vacation spot for many people, and therefore some owners of private houses decide to build such a structure on their site. But what is a sauna without a swimming pool? Naturally, after the steam room you will want to swim in the cool water and relieve all fatigue. Therefore, you can make a pool in a bathhouse with your own hands, without the help of professionals.

Swimming pool in a bathhouse or sauna - convenience and feasibility of construction

Traditionally, we are used to swimming pools being installed in a Finnish sauna, as this is assumed by the project. The Russian bathhouse never had an indoor pool, so after the steam room people ran out into the cold in winter and rolled in the snow or jumped into an ice hole.

But since time does not stand still and everything in the world is improving, our bathhouse now has a swimming pool, which is installed indoors. It is not only convenient, but also practical. If you live in a country or private house where there is no river nearby, then naturally, after the steam room there will be nowhere to run to rinse off. And if you decide to take a steam bath in the spring or summer, when it’s hot outside and there’s no snow, then you’ll have nowhere to fall. In general, a swimming pool in a steam room is a must.

Even if you live near a river, you cannot be sure that there will be clean water there and that after such a swim you will not have to take a bath or shower again. In your own pool, the water will always be clean, cool and treated with special antiseptics, that is, chlorinated. Therefore, you can happily take a steam bath and swim in the pool even with small children, without fear of germs and bacteria that are found in rivers and other bodies of water.

Some people install a pool near the bathhouse, but then they will have to constantly clean it and change the water, since an outdoor pond requires more attention and effort to maintain.

The water in an indoor pool does not need to be constantly changed and cleaned, and it will only need to be chlorinated as needed. Thus, we can say that when planning the construction of a bathhouse on your site, do not forget to allocate space in the drawing for a small pool.

Construction of a home pool: types of structures and their arrangement

Swimming pools in the bathhouse can be of various types, types and designs. Today, there are three types of such structures that are usually installed in a bathhouse. Pools can be large or small, deep or shallow, as well as round, square, rectangular, oval or have an unusual geometric shape. It all depends on the design of the bathhouse, as well as the space that will be allocated for the pool.

If the bathhouse is small, then we recommend making the pool a small corner one so that you can simply rinse off after the steam room. And if the project involves a huge bathhouse with a large area, then you can install a large pond where you can swim freely.

Stationary pools are the most durable, comfortable and durable. They are a deep concrete bowl that can be of any shape. Such a structure can be recessed into the ground or located on the surface. A concrete pool will require more time to build and more money to purchase materials, but it has a long service life and will therefore serve you for many years. The inside is usually tiled.

PVC pools can also be installed indoors, sunk into the ground when building a bathhouse, or left on the surface. But such reservoirs do not have a long service life, have certain conditions for their operation and are quite expensive. If a crack appears in such a pool, it will need to be replaced, which costs a lot of time and money. Therefore, if you choose this type of structure for a bathhouse, it is best to make it mobile so that, if necessary, it can be removed from the room.

Spa pools with hydromassage, made of special durable material, are not intended for swimming, but only for relaxing water treatments. Since such designs are sold ready-made, it is not always possible to choose the required size or shape specifically for your bathhouse project. I would also like to say that a hydromassage pool would not be entirely appropriate in a bathhouse, so it is best to abandon such an idea unless, of course, it is part of your plans.

Preparation for construction: drawings, determination of dimensions depending on the area of ​​the room

Since we will be building a pool inside a bathhouse, the drawing must be drawn up in accordance with this decision. If the bathhouse is large enough, then a separate room can be allocated for the pool, which can be equipped at your discretion.

• If there is not enough space, then it can be installed in the washing room in the form of a small font. In any case, all calculations are carried out at the stage of marking the territory and installing the foundation of the bathhouse, since a stationary pool requires, first of all, proper excavation work.
• Also, when choosing a place to build a swimming pool, it is necessary to take into account that all water supply systems and sewerage systems must be calculated taking into account the fact that this reservoir will require constant water purification and its proper circulation. In addition, the proximity of groundwater should be taken into account, since the structure should be no closer than one meter to it. Otherwise, groundwater will simply wash away the foundation and destroy it.
• The walls of the pool should not come into contact with the walls of the bathhouse, as the water will put a lot of pressure on them and cause cracks to form. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the distance between the reservoir and the walls with sand or lay it with polystyrene foam.

The size of the pool matters, since only by building a square or rectangular structure can you save room space and reduce material consumption.

We will build a pool measuring 2.2x2.2 meters and 1.5 meters deep. This will be a small pond for a bathhouse, in which both adults and children can swim.

Choosing material for a stationary pool is quite simple, since here we will mainly need only high-quality concrete mortar mixed with cement, sand, crushed stone and water.

For the first pouring of the base (bottom) of the pool, you can take the M100 grade of cement and this will be enough. It is recommended to construct the walls and bottom of the reservoir only from M400 cement, since its composition contains the substances necessary for such a structure (mastics, waterproofing agents, etc.). Final work is also carried out using cement of this brand, which has a high degree of waterproofing.

The composition of the concrete mixture must be correctly adjusted, since the quality of the construction of the pool bowl depends on this.

• Sand should have fractions of no more than 1.5–2 mm. Free from clay and other foreign matter. Also, silted sand should not be used.
• Crushed stone and gravel must be taken from durable rocks without foreign impurities. The fraction is about 1–2 mm.
• Cement grade 400 must be fresh (shelf life from the date of manufacture is no more than 3 months).
• Only clean and soft water is used (you cannot take it from a river or pond).

The concrete solution is prepared in exact proportions: 1 part cement, 3 parts sand and 5 parts crushed stone. The portion of water is determined by its ratio to the entire mass of the dry mixture. For greater stability of concrete, before using it, it is necessary to use hydraulic additives (4 kg of additive per 1 cubic meter of concrete solution).

Calculation of the amount of material and necessary tools

To build stationary concrete, we will need a large number of materials and various tools.

• Cement grades 100 and 400;
• Fine sand 1.5–2 mm;
• Crushed stone;
• Fittings (long rods with a diameter of 1.2–1.4 mm);
• Reinforcing mesh;
• Wooden boards for formwork;
• Pumps for filling the pool with water;
• Plastic pipes of different diameters;
• Waterproofing film;
• Ruberoid;
• Adhesive solution with latex;
• Pool frame;
• Geotextiles;
• Metal sheets;
• Mosaic or porcelain tiles.

Tools

• Shovels;
• Concrete mixer;
• Trowels;
• Containers for solution;
• Level;
• Plumb;
• Bulgarian;
• Hammer;
• Sander;
• Tampers.

To mix 1 cubic meter of concrete or 2400 kg you need:

• 325 kg - cement;
• 170 l. - water;
• 625 kg - sand;
• 1250 kg - crushed stone.

Step-by-step instructions for building a swimming pool in a bathhouse with your own hands

1. We begin to dig a pit in the place where the pool will be located. Its dimensions along the entire perimeter should be ½ meter larger than the bowl itself on each side, that is, 2.7x2.7 meters and 30–40 cm (1.9 meters) deeper.
2. We need to make the bottom of the pit with a slight slope so that in this place we can install a pipe for draining water (Ø10–12 cm). We connect the pipe with a plastic pipe with a certain slope to the sauna sewer system or to a drainage pit (they should be located at a distance of less than 5 meters from the pool).
3. We pour a layer of sand about 7 cm at the bottom of the hole, and crushed stone on top. We tamp with special tampers so that we get a dense layer. To prevent the walls of the pit from crumbling, we secure its edges with boards.
4. Along the walls we hammer in reinforcement in increments of 30 cm and a distance of 5–6 cm from the edge of the pit.
5. We create a horizontal harness. From the reinforcement we make a mesh with cells of about 30 cm 2. We do this using wire or welding. Pour a 10 cm layer of concrete onto the prepared base using grade 100 cement.
6. We lay the reinforcing mesh. We tie it to the wall frame and re-fill a 10 cm layer of concrete using grade 400 cement. Let the concrete solution dry for a day.
7. We spread roofing material on the surface for preliminary waterproofing. We lay the boards so that you can walk on the concrete without destroying its structure.
8. Using bars, we knock down the formwork boards and install them inside the pit at a distance of approximately 20–25 cm from the walls.
9. To prevent the formwork from deforming under the pressure of heavy concrete mortar, we install special stiffening ribs and spacers made of 50x50mm timber at a distance of 50 cm from each other.
10. Pour a denser 20 cm layer of concrete with waterproofing additives. We compact it thoroughly with a special vibrator. Then we again pour a layer of concrete until it reaches the desired height in the formwork.
11. After about 2-3 days, we remove the formwork and let the concrete dry for 25-30 days. For the first 7 days we wet the entire pool with water about 3 times a day. This is necessary so that the solution dries evenly and does not crack.
12. We place a special frame made of durable plastic on the sides of the pool, and geotextiles on it. We lay a waterproofing film on top and fix it well. We apply a special adhesive solution with latex to the film.
13. We plaster the interior of the pool for further cladding. We pour part of the ceresite into the cement-sand mortar.
14. Using a sanding machine, we carefully level the entire surface of the pool for further finishing.
15. Before final finishing, we check the quality of the pool waterproofing. To do this, pour water into it to a certain level. Let it sit for 10–12 days and then note the water level. If it has changed significantly, this means that the waterproofing was done incorrectly and the bowl is leaking. If there are minor discrepancies, we can say that the water simply evaporated a little in a warm room.
16. After making sure that everything is done correctly, we lay the mosaic or porcelain tiles and let the solution dry for several days. Then we grout the seams with a special hydrophobic grout.

You should not use ceramic tiles for lining a pool, as they have a porous base, absorb water and are unsuitable for such structures.

Glass mosaic is one of the best material options for pool cladding. It not only has high quality workmanship, but also an excellent appearance, as well as an affordable price compared to porcelain tiles, the cost of which can reach up to $50 or more per 1m2.

But if you need to save money, you can use a special PVC film, which has such advantages as:

After all work on the construction and finishing of the pool is completed, we install additional equipment: filtration systems, pumps for pumping water, heating devices and lighting.

Care and operation

Only tap water is used to fill the reservoir. It is very important to take into account its quality, since hard water will cause the rapid appearance of limescale on the walls of the pool.

It is necessary to monitor the pH level (the norm is from 7.2 to 7.6). To maintain the required condition of water, there are various care substances:

Since chlorine-containing preparations do not have a very pleasant odor and are allergens for some people, experts recommend using bromine, which will not irritate human mucous membranes and skin.

Active oxygen tablets, which combine several different purifying substances, will help quickly and safely eliminate all dangerous bacteria and microorganisms in the water.

To maintain cleanliness in the pool, the water must be changed at least three times a year. Clean the reservoir bowl with special means. A special solution is used to remove limescale.

Regular purification of the water in the pool is carried out using installed filters. This is very important, since if they are absent, the water will have to be changed much more often.

• There are several different filtration devices currently in use: A sand filter purifies water using quartz sand, which must be changed periodically (about once a year). These are inexpensive and affordable devices that are perfect for use in a small sauna pool.
• A cartridge filter with reusable or disposable cartridges effectively purifies water by removing particles larger than 10 microns.
• Diatom filters are quite expensive, but they are capable of purifying water from particles larger than 3 microns. Such a filtration device will always keep the pool clean and significantly reduce its level of pollution. The water cannot be changed as often as in previous options.

Video on the topic

The construction of a stationary pool cannot be called simple, quick and easy, but since the bathhouse is built for more than one year and must be well-equipped, you need to try and build a durable and reliable pond for your family. The main thing is that when constructing such a structure, strictly adhere to the instructions of specialists and, if necessary, contact professional craftsmen for useful advice.

Many people value comfort, which will make the usual washing procedure a real pleasure. The question of whether a swimming pool is needed in a bathhouse is decided by each owner independently. Some people believe that this is an excess and extra costs, while others do not understand how they can do without it. Of course, a structure such as a swimming pool in a bathhouse with your own hands adds operational difficulties and creates a risk for the entire building structure, but with proper construction, all problems can be easily eliminated.

Advantages and disadvantages of a sauna pool

The following factors speak in favor of its arrangement:

• providing a hardening effect, and the ability to cool down in water directly in the bathhouse without going out into the cold;
• bathing can be an independent procedure for those for whom the steam room is contraindicated;
• beneficial effects on the human body of a combination of steaming and water procedures;
• the possibility of conveniently washing the body after the steam room;
• increasing the comfort and prestige of the bathhouse.

When planning construction, the disadvantages of the project should also be taken into account: firstly, the need for additional space, secondly, an increase in humidity in the room, which has a destructive effect on the wooden structure, and thirdly, an increased risk of water seeping from the pool into the soil, which can have a destructive effect. impact on the foundation. Additional financial investments will also be required for the development of the system and special equipment.

Consider the need for constant maintenance (cleaning) and increased water consumption.

Features of accommodation

If, after considering all the pros and cons, you still decide to build a pool in a bathhouse, then first of all you need to choose a place to place it. The bowl can be positioned as follows.

1. Directly in the steam room. Only a miniature version is possible here due to limited space. The only advantage of this arrangement can be considered the organization of the entire process in one room. The problem is maintaining the vapor environment. The sauna steam room uses dry heat, and therefore they do not plan to have a swimming pool there.
2. In the washing room. This is a fairly common option, especially if it was included in the original design of the bathhouse. In principle, the size of the washing room is not limited by operational features, and a pool (even a large one) can be built during the construction of a bathhouse. Water supply to this room is necessary in any case, which simplifies the solution to the communication issue.
3. In a separate room. This option is the most suitable for a large structure. In this case, the installation of a pool in a bathhouse does not depend on other systems, and it can be provided in accordance with all the rules. If there is not enough space, the pool is placed in an extension, with a separate entrance from any room of the bathhouse building, without access to the street.

The main conditions for a room where you can install a swimming pool: sufficient area, the possibility of water supply and sewerage, accessibility for maintenance (primarily cleaning).

Design features

If you are planning a swimming pool for a bathhouse, then you can install such structures with your own hands.

Varieties	Characteristics
Stationary pool.	This is a capital structure inside a bathhouse, which is made in the form of a bowl from durable material with reliable waterproofing. A water drainage system must be equipped.
Portable or mobile option.	Such collapsible structures contain a frame on which sealed walls and a bottom are mounted. It can be installed in any bathhouse for a certain period of time and then dismantled.
Font, or miniature pool.	These are small stationary containers that can only accommodate one person. The main advantage: the ability to install in small baths.
Hydromassage pool.	It is a small reservoir made of plastic. This design is equipped with heating and a compressor to form water jets.

Stationary structures can be erected in the following options: recessed, semi-recessed and surface. In the first case, the bowl is located completely below ground level, and in the latter case, it rises above the floor. The semi-buried type occupies an intermediate position, i.e., a pit is dug, but the upper part of the walls of the bowl rises above the floor covering.

Size selection

The size of the sauna pool depends on its location, the area of ​​the sauna, the chosen design, and when building an extension - on the size of the entire site. The main geometric parameters are the area, length and width, depth and height of the walls above the floor level. When choosing parameters, certain requirements must be taken into account.

The bottom of the pool should not reach the groundwater level. There should be a distance of at least 70–80 cm to them. To eliminate the risk of destruction of the foundation, the walls of the pool inside the bathhouse are removed from the foundation at a distance of at least 0.3 m. When placing the pool in an extension, it is moved away from the bathhouse foundation by more than 65–75 cm. The distance to other structures must be at least 1 m.

If it is possible to build large tanks, their size is limited only by the desire of the owner himself. This could be a real swimming pool in a large elite bathhouse or a very tiny bowl in a small room. The following dimensions in a typical bathhouse are considered optimal: an area of ​​about 2.5 m²; length 1.7–2 m; width 1.2–1.6 m; depth 1.2–1.5 m. If a pool is being built with the ability to swim, then the length should exceed 4–4.5 m. The minimum dimensions of the bowl are chosen so that you can lie down in it and make at least small movements.

Hot tubs are not intended for swimming. A person immerses vertically in them or has the opportunity to sit down. Typically their volume is in the range of 400–2000 liters of water. The most common are small tanks with a capacity of about 600 liters.

Necessary materials

A stationary pool is most often made of concrete. The bottom of the bowl is filled with it, and then the walls are filled with formwork. The most common mortar recipe: cement (1 part), sand (2–3 parts), crushed stone (3–4 parts). To increase water resistance, liquid glass can be added to the solution.

The walls of a surface pool are often made of brick. In this case, it is important to ensure they are waterproof. To do this, apply a primer, waterproofing and cement-sand plaster with additives that increase water resistance.

An important category of materials necessary for arranging a swimming pool is waterproofing. It is applied both on the outside and on the inside of the walls and bottom. External protection should reliably protect against underground and flood waters, and internal waterproofing should prevent water from seeping out of the bowl. There are 2 main types of such materials: coating and roll insulation.

For a sauna pool you can use the following waterproofing materials:

• roofing felt - widely used for waterproofing the bottom from the outside;
• polyethylene film of increased thickness and strength;
• membrane-type films based on PVC, EPDM;
• mastics: Penetron, Calmatron, Xipex mixture and others - belong to the coating category with deep penetration;
• sodium bentonite in the form of mats;
• liquid rubber - with its help a layer of seamless waterproofing is applied;
• impregnating compositions with the ability to polymerize - the most widespread is liquid glass, which can be used as a coating sealant or added to concrete mortar;
• bitumen - has low cost and good waterproofing properties, but has insufficient durability; most often it is used in combination with other elements, for example, roofing felt.

Another group of materials for the pool is necessary for exterior finishing and decorative purposes. Such facing elements stand out in particular.

1. Ceramic tiles (tiles). In pool conditions, it does not have much durability, but despite this, it remains one of the most popular materials, because it provides a pleasant appearance and is easy to install with your own hands. It also attracts the possibility of simple repair of damaged elements.
2. Porcelain and glass mosaic. It is recognized as the best material for lining pools. It has high water resistance, wear resistance, strength, and a wide range of colors.
3. Polymer boards and films. PVC with a thickness of at least 3 mm is most often used.
4. Ready-made plaster mixture with an additive in the form of ceresite emulsion.

When making portable structures with your own hands, sheet plastic, metal, and rubber are used. A sufficiently spacious font can be built from ready-made containers - these are pallets, plastic and metal tanks.

Production at the construction stage of a bathhouse

It is best if a stationary pool is included in the initial design of the entire building. In this case, its foundation is laid already at the stage of building the foundation, and the finishing work is carried out together with the arrangement of the steam room, washing room, dressing room, etc. You can design a pool in any section of the bathhouse, but the best option is a separate room.

As a guide, as an option, this step-by-step plan for building a permanent pool is used. Work begins with digging a pit. Its dimensions should exceed the length and width by 0.5–0.6 m on both sides, and the depth by 35–40 cm. Pipes for draining water are installed and a drain pipe with a diameter of at least 15 cm is installed.

The bottom of the pool is arranged in this order. A two-layer cushion is laid on the ground: a layer of sand 7–10 cm thick and a layer of gravel (crushed stone) 6–8 cm thick. The cushion is carefully compacted to form a slope towards the drain pipe. Metal rods are driven in along the entire perimeter of the pool walls (in the center of the future walls). The installation pitch is 30–40 cm. Steel reinforcement with a diameter of at least 14 mm is used. On top of the cushion, external waterproofing of the bottom is installed from rolled material or slabs, and reinforcing mesh is laid over the entire area from steel reinforcement. The grid cells are about 6–8 cm in size.

Filling the bottom with concrete is carried out in 2 stages. A first concrete layer 10–12 cm thick is poured onto the reinforcing mesh. Another reinforcing mesh is laid on top of it and a second concrete layer of the same thickness is poured. The poured concrete is left undisturbed for at least 16 hours for complete setting and hardening.

The construction of the pool walls begins with the installation of formwork along the entire perimeter of the structure. It is installed so that the vertical rods are located in the center. The required wall strength is achieved using a reinforcing frame. To do this, steel rods are laid horizontally in 3–4 rows and linked with vertical pins (steel wire with a diameter of 4–6 mm is used. Concrete is poured in layers 20–25 cm thick with thorough compaction using a vibrator.

Dismantling of the formwork can be done 2-3 days after pouring, when the material has gained its initial strength. Concrete care is provided for 6–7 days. To do this, periodic moistening is carried out (with an interval of 5–6 hours).

The final formation of the pool walls includes the application of the necessary protective elements. External waterproofing is installed on the outside. This technology is usually used. The outer side surface is covered with bitumen or deep penetration mastic. Then a layer of roofing material or thick plastic film is laid. The gap between the concrete and the ground is filled with soil, creating a natural “castle” by adding clay.

Particular attention is paid to the outside of the walls, which is always visible. First of all, internal waterproofing is formed on it: coating with a waterproof compound or laying rolled material. Next, the entire surface is primed and the mounting mesh is laid.

The final arrangement of the pool includes plastering the walls from the inside using a ready-made waterproof mixture or a homemade cement-sand mortar with the addition of liquid glass. After this, communications are connected (sewage and water supply), the necessary equipment is installed and adjusted: pump, cleaning devices, heating elements, lighting system.

Features of installing a swimming pool in an existing bathhouse

In an already built bathhouse, it will be possible to build a stationary pool only if there is free space. You don’t have to look for it in the steam room, because this room is designed with optimal dimensions. But you can try to reconstruct the rest room or washing compartment.

The most acceptable type of pool in this case is the surface type. At the place of its installation (be sure to step back from the walls of the bathhouse at a distance of at least 30 cm), the floor covering is dismantled. A hole up to 40 cm deep is dug, a pillow is poured into it and the concrete base of the bowl is poured. The walls can be raised by pouring concrete into formwork or in the form of brickwork. In this design, drainage can be done by gravity into the existing system, but a pump is needed to fill it with water.

The construction of a stationary pool in an existing bathhouse causes a lot of problems, so a detachable structure is often chosen. This version of the frame type can be done as follows.

1. The concrete base is poured to install the pool bowl.
2. The frame of the bowl is made of wooden beams or metal profiles (pipe, corner). The shape can be either rectangular or round.
3. A thick PVC or rubber cover is pulled over the frame and securely fixed. You can weld plastic using a hair dryer.

The simplest option is to use a ready-made container. In particular, you can install a metal tray, carefully checking its tightness. A protective layer should be applied inside the tank by coating to prevent corrosion.

Principles of use and care

Improper use of the pool is fraught with serious consequences: destruction of the foundation; increased humidity in the room, leading to wood rotting and mold; the occurrence of unsanitary conditions hazardous to human health. To avoid such phenomena, the following requirements must be observed:

• preventing water leakage into the ground;
• availability of reliable ventilation;
• cleaning and disinfection;
• monitoring the lack of water in the bowl when the bath is idle;
• timely water replacement.

Proper operation of the pool requires periodic cleaning of the bowl. It is necessary to ensure timely removal of dirt, silt, mold, and fungal infections. Water can be poured into the bowl only after preliminary cleaning, while ensuring its acid-base balance (pH should be 7.1–7.7). To completely purify the incoming water, special filters should be installed in the pool. Care is carried out independently using coagulants, algaecide, acid granules for hard (alkaline) water, universal tablets for swimming pools.

Fully ensures compliance with sanitary standards during chemical cleaning. It will require certain costs, but will make the use of the bowl safe for health. Chlorination is most often used in your own pool. To carry it out, special compounds are used (chlorine mass, shock chlorine, prolonged action chlorine, chlorine granules). You can carry out oxygen treatment yourself (for small pools). In this case, you will have to purchase containers with active oxygen.

High-quality water treatment, imparting beneficial properties to it, is ensured by more complex techniques. It is quite possible to use them in domestic conditions, but for this you will have to install special equipment. Among the different methods, technologies such as ozonation, ultraviolet cleaning, and exposure to a magnetic field stand out.

It is very important not to create a risk of water stagnation. After completing the bath procedure, the liquid must be completely drained and the bowl dried. Water should be added immediately before use.

The question of whether a swimming pool is needed in a bathhouse does not have a clear answer. The owner himself is free to decide it based on his capabilities and needs. They set up a sauna pool both during the construction of a sauna and in an already built structure, and everything can be done with your own hands. With proper construction and proper care, all risks of negative impact on the bath structure will be eliminated.

It’s nice to take a steam bath after finishing a work week and relax with friends. A country house, cottage or dacha is an excellent place to build your own bathhouse. Every home owner is interested in questions about how much it costs to build a bathhouse, which project is better to choose, what materials it is advisable to use, and many other questions.

What is cheaper - to build it yourself or use the services of professionals?

If you have never been involved in construction or are not entirely confident in your abilities, you will have to use the services of specialists. Not everyone can order the construction of a turnkey bathhouse. The simplest version of a bathhouse, consisting of a shower, steam room and relaxation room, will cost about $20,000. With a successful contract with a contractor, you can also equip a small pool for this amount.

The amount is far from small, but the bathhouse will turn out wonderful in a short time. Highly qualified specialists will construct the building using modern technologies, and the bathhouse will delight you for a long time.

About 50% of the cost comes from paying for construction work. If you start building a bathhouse yourself, you can save this amount of money.

Try to draw up a bathhouse project yourself or order from a professional, study the information about the procedure for carrying out the work, get acquainted with the construction technology and start making your dream come true. Construction will take a little more time and effort, but the reward will be saved money and admiring glances from friends.

The approximate costs of building a bathhouse can be calculated by laying out all the work and the purchase of building materials step by step.

1. Project: what is it planned to build the bathhouse from, what size, individual features. In the expenses column - the negotiated price for the architect's services.
2. The excavation for the foundation and the construction of the base of the bathhouse includes the cost of purchasing building materials.
3. Installation of walls and roof. Expenses - purchase of timber, boards and roofing material.
4. It is also worth considering the type of ceiling finish.
5. Supply of communication systems. Pipes, wires, plumbing.
6. Construction of the furnace.
7. Work on building insulation.
8. Interior and exterior decoration.
9. Fastening materials, tools, equipment.
10. Additional expenses. This column usually takes into account some individual characteristics of the bathhouse. This is often one of the larger costs. A standard sauna construction project will cost less than a project with an installed jacuzzi or swimming pool.

You can save up to 40% of money on creating a bathhouse project by ordering the development of the project from an employee of a government agency, rather than from an employee of a private company.

Purchase of construction materials

To build the foundation you need gravel, cement and sand. If you buy these materials at a wholesale store rather than in a hypermarket, you will be able to save a good amount of money.

Wood is needed to build walls, partitions, and roofs. Prices for wood depend on its species. Pine wood has the lowest price level, but there is a high probability of purchasing not quite high-quality material when ordering a large volume from a supplier. There will be a large number of resinous knots on the boards and logs, which significantly increases the release of harmful fumes. Purchasing pine wood for building a bathhouse requires careful selection of a reliable supplier.

When choosing hardwood for building a bathhouse, costs will increase. For a bathhouse measuring 6 by 6 meters, the price for aspen will be about $2,000, for linden - more than $2,500, and for abacus - up to $3,900.

Linden is an excellent energy donor. After visiting the linden steam room, you will feel cheerfulness and self-confidence. Aspen is capable of taking away all the negative energy from a bathhouse visitor and preventing many diseases. Abaca has maximum resistance to moisture and high temperatures.

Communications supply

This is one of the most expensive sections of construction. Today, electricity is everywhere and connecting a bathhouse to the electrical network is not difficult. It is much more difficult to solve the issue of heating rooms, supplying clean water and draining wastewater. If you do not have an individual water supply, it is worth addressing this issue.

To solve the issue of drainage, you will have to think about building a septic tank. Costs will decrease if you already have your own well with excellent water on the site and a septic tank has been built. All that remains is to purchase the required number of pipes and connect the bathhouse to an autonomous sewer system.

Heating the bath should be done using a solid fuel boiler. There is no particular need to heat in a bathhouse every day. Before your visit, it won’t take much time to heat the building with wood or coal.

It is advisable to insulate the bathhouse building well, which will significantly reduce costs in the winter. To do this, you need to buy good quality insulation.

Pay special attention to the quality of the electrical cable being laid. It is better to entrust the installation of electrical wiring to a specialist. Don't forget about the ventilation device.

Additional amenities

This expense item will force you to increase your financial investment in the construction of a bathhouse. When deciding how much it costs to build a bathhouse, be sure to take into account the cost of a pool per square meter if you dream of one. The price level ranges from $25 to $150. This is the cost of materials. You will have to pay a decent amount to the master or simply do the work yourself. Installing a hot tub will also increase your costs significantly.

Let's sum it up

It seems that everything has been calculated, the estimate is ready, the desire to build a bathhouse on the site has not disappeared. There is one small nuance - the exact cost figure is never obtained. Somewhere you will buy material at lower prices, or you may have to pay more, which means that you need to add another 10-15% of the amount received for unforeseen expenses.

If you manage to save money, that's great. With the money you save you can buy beautiful bath accessories.

3 types of bath pools [+9 PHOTO]

Almost every bathhouse owner dreams of having their own swimming pool, but not everyone decides to buy its equipment, since it is believed that the price for such a pleasure is exorbitant. Of course, there are different pools, and there are very expensive options. But along with them, there are simple projects, thanks to which even an amateur can equip a bath pool with his own hands; we will talk about such projects and about pools in general in this article.

Types of pools

These designs can be of different types, it all depends on your desire, imagination and, of course, financial capabilities.

• Stationary swimming pools for baths are permanent structures. The construction technology involves pouring a monolithic reinforced concrete foundation and walls, followed by moisture-resistant finishing. Such designs are designed for long-term operation and are very reliable.

• Prefabricated structures, here the name speaks for itself. They are assembled from lightweight modules quite quickly. The price of these designs is quite affordable, moreover, they are also good for their mobility. The prefabricated pool can be quickly dismantled and transported to another location. The only weak point of these structures is that they are not designed for long-term use, that is, they are not durable.
• Pools for spa treatments. These are relatively small-sized structures, the main purpose of which is hydromassage. They are also associated with the brand name and are called “Jacuzzi”.

Prefabricated and spa structures are installed quite quickly and simply, plus they are always provided with assembly instructions, so we will not dwell on them.

In this article we are interested in instructions or technology for arranging stationary reservoirs for a bathhouse with your own hands.

Installation technology

Arrangement of the foundation and supporting structure

• The first thing you should start with is to decide at what depth your artificial pond will be laid. The fact is that when laying in a foundation pit, groundwater should lie no closer than 0.5 m (optimally 1 m) from the lowest point of the foundation. Otherwise, they will simply erode the foundation over time. Therefore, sometimes it makes sense to go only halfway deep, and then put the walls higher and equip a platform.

• When marking, you should take into account the thickness of the walls and the base of the reservoir. The walls are made about 50 cm, and the bottom slab should be left from 35 to 50 cm, depending on the volume of the reservoir. Mini sauna pools can hold from 10m³ of water.
• When arranging a pit, immediately plan where you will have a drain. The foundation should not have a large slope to the drainage point. The drain is equipped at the very beginning before laying the foundation; for this, a drain pipe with a diameter of at least 10 mm is fixed at the lowest point.
• When the pit is ready, the first ball is filled with 50 mm sand and compacted. Behind it comes a ball of fine gravel, also tightly compacted; here the thickness should be made slightly more than 100 - 150 mm.
• Next, we advise laying a layer of waterproofing and pouring a primary, rough layer of concrete to a thickness of 100 mm. After it has set to the point where you can walk on it, a reinforcement frame is tied onto it, based on pouring concrete to a thickness of 100 - 150 mm. It is better to take a rod for the frame within 12 mm.
• At this stage, the formwork for the vertical walls is installed and the reinforcement frame is laid in it. Experts advise pouring the entire floor and walls at once.

Important: the geometry of reservoirs can be different, but if you are not a professional builder and decide to do everything yourself, then it is optimal for you to make a pool for a home bath in a classic rectangular shape.

• To prevent a seam from forming between the lower foundation and the reinforced concrete walls, during the pouring process the concrete should be constantly bayoneted at the junction points, plus it is advisable to compact the poured concrete using vibrating machines to remove air from the foundation.

Pool finishing

After pouring the reinforced concrete frame, it should be allowed to harden well. The setting time for such structures is on average about 1 month.

All this time, you need to periodically moisten the surface of the concrete so that it does not begin to crack and peel.

• For people who cannot wait for the concrete to harden in the reservoir bowl, there is an alternative system, the so-called caissons. They are metal plates, between which a special cement mixture is poured according to technology. After this, the seams between the plates should be welded. The price of such a design will be somewhat more expensive, plus the welded structure may come apart in the area of ​​the seams during constant use.
• After the frame has dried, the inside of the pond bath should be plastered. The thickness of the applied layer is about 20 - 25 mm. The mixtures are based on cement with the addition of various polymers, specially designed for constant contact with water.
• Next, the surface is waterproofed. The most budget option is PVC film. The waterproofing layer is initially applied with two balls, the third ball is secured with a latex-based adhesive mixture. Upon completion of the plastering work, the surface is fixed with a ceresite-based emulsion in the proportion of 1 measure of ceresite to 10 measures of water.
• The cement-sand mortar is made of a dough-like consistency; it should be rubbed into the surface of the bowl, after which it is leveled using a trowel and trowel. After applying the cement-sand layer, if you plan to lay tiles or mosaics, we recommend drawing a grid on the surface so that the tiles lie better.

Important: if your pond is not connected to the central sewer system, and you use a drainage pit, then it should be located at a distance of at least 5 m from the bathhouse. Moreover, it is not recommended to use pipes with a diameter of less than 50 - 70 mm for a drain or filter system; they will become clogged.

Facing a pond for a bath

Mini pools for baths can be lined in different ways, but we will only touch on the 3 main, most common lining materials.

1. Tile. This material is quite common; it has a wide range of colors and different reliefs. But the tiles for arranging swimming pools require special ones; ordinary ceramic tiles are not suitable for such structures, since they have a porous structure and are saturated with water. The level of absorption should not exceed 3%; for this purpose, special porcelain tiles have been developed, the price of which is up to $35.
2. Mosaic is the most expensive material, but with its help you can implement almost any design project. The mosaic is made on the basis of colored glass and consists of squares with a side size of 10 to 50 mm. Prices here can range from $25 to $145.
3. PVC film is the most budget material. It is applied in 4 layers, reinforced with a special reinforcing mesh between the two middle layers. Has a thickness of up to 1.5 mm. Its price ranges from $10 to $45 per m². A fastening tape made of metal is mounted on the surface with self-tapping screws, plastic is attached to it, and then the film itself is welded. Geotextiles are first placed under the structure.

Conclusion

Thus, we have determined that, with a strong desire, almost any owner who is familiar with the tool and knows how to mix a solution can build a basic pool for himself and his family. Moreover, the costs of its construction are more than offset by the health benefits of this design.

The video in this article shows some of the intricacies of pool construction.

How much does it cost to build a sauna with a swimming pool?

If you have no idea how to approach the issue of building a bathhouse with a swimming pool. in this case, it is recommended to use the services of specialists. However, not everyone can take advantage of professional turnkey bathhouse construction services. The simplest version of a bathhouse, which will consist of a steam room, a shower room, and a relaxation room, will cost you approximately $20,000. Moreover, provided that the contract with the contractors is successfully completed, it is quite possible to equip a swimming pool for this cost. Of course, the amount of money is quite large, but the result will be simply amazing and will not keep you waiting long.

1. Furnace installation;
2. Insulation of the building;
3. Bathroom finishing. external and internal;

Results

There is one small nuance - the exact figure for future expenses will never be known. This happens due to the fact that there is a high probability of purchasing material at both lower and more expensive prices. Thus, it would be prudent to include about 10-15% of additional funds in the estimate in case of unforeseen expenses.

Bathhouses with pool projects - Photo

An ordinary steam room with a dressing room is slowly ceasing to please the owners of dachas and private country cottages. When building a bathhouse, you will still have to spend a certain amount, so there is no point in denying yourself the pleasure of taking a dip in cool water after a steam room. We will consider several structurally different projects today.

1. Small swimming pools for saunas
2. Plastic swimming pools for baths

Important points when designing a bathhouse with a swimming pool

Despite the fact that bathhouses with a swimming pool, the photos of which we will consider today, are structurally more complex than a regular bathhouse, if you comply with some requirements for the premises, the implementation of the project will be just a matter of time. When designing a bathhouse with a swimming pool, you need to consider the following:

But considering that everything will be done with your own hands, you will save a huge amount of money, while getting a royal bathhouse with a swimming pool, even if not a king-sized one, but a full one, and without discounts on “self-construction”.

Small swimming pools for saunas

If funds do not allow you to greatly increase the size, a small pool will be quite sufficient, which, despite its modest size, will fully perform its functions. Since the pool is small, this may affect the cost of the entire structure. For a small pool, it is not necessary to build a heavy-duty foundation, and the drain of such a pool can easily fit into a centralized sewer system without additional modifications.

The simplest option for a small pool is rectangular. It is much easier to fit into a steam room of any size, without damaging the steam room. If you carry out the project correctly, a small rectangular pool bowl will help you save money.

All pools are divided into

• ground;
• semi-recessed;
• buried.

Any of these types can be applied to a small pool with a rectangular bowl shape, although if the size of the steam room allows, then you can choose a bowl of any shape. It all depends on how convenient and functional the pool will be placed, and whether it will be a hindrance in the sauna.

If the soil on which you plan to install a bathhouse with a small pool is unstable, then with a small size you can turn a blind eye to this. This trick will not work with large-volume pools, and they must accurately take into account the characteristics of the soil. And if there are no problems with drainage, then a small pool can be installed on soil of any complexity.

Plastic swimming pools for baths

A plastic pool bowl is an excellent solution that is both functional and inexpensive. The variety of shapes of plastic pools will allow them to fit into any room, but this does not mean that they should be taken lightly. The average volume of a simple plastic font is 10-15 sq. m. This suggests that such a pool should also be equipped with a suitable sewerage system, and sufficiently firmly fixed either in the soil or on the blind areas provided for by the project.

Very often, when buying a plastic pool, you can get a lot of accessories included - stairs, lights, nozzles, shelves. Often the price of a pool includes a filtration system. Thus, the task of installing and tying communications is simplified as much as possible.

Projects of bathhouses made of foam blocks with a swimming pool

A bathhouse made of foam blocks itself has a lot of advantages over stone structures, and some of these advantages contribute to the installation of a pool in a bathhouse. Depending on the size of the bathhouse, the type of pool is selected. If you want to install an in-ground pool, you will have to dig a full pit, which must exceed the size of the pool bowl. This must be taken into account when designing.

Small projects of bathhouses with a foam block pool, as a rule, involve a semi-buried or even above-ground type of pool. The bases of such pools will be flush with the floor, which will greatly simplify the drainage and supply of water. The walls will have to rise to the height of the pool. But since the foundation for such a project will not be deeper than the main foundation, the complexity of its installation will be significantly reduced. Naturally, this will also affect the price. The foam block is very light, and the foundation for such walls does not require special endurance, so connecting two light foundations - a swimming pool and a bathhouse - will be easy and inexpensive.

Projects of bathhouses made of timber with a swimming pool

Very often, when building bathhouses with a pool made of timber, the pool itself is placed outside the steam room. This is primarily due to the fact that timber baths are often built on a columnar foundation, to which it is quite problematic to attach the base for a large pool. In such cases, a covered veranda with a separate entrance is arranged, and within its boundaries there are no longer restrictions on the size of the pool itself.

The main condition here, as in other pool solutions, is the highest quality waterproofing. Experts call another feature of constructing a swimming pool in timber baths the need to allow the building to shrink, and only after that install and connect the pool.

Whatever type of bathhouse you decide to build, the pool will always invigorate you with its coolness, give you tone and make your bathhouse unique, and in addition, healthy.

How much does it cost to build a swimming pool - cost of building a swimming pool

Having your own swimming pool on your property – isn’t this what every owner dreams of? Just a few years ago, a private pool was an unattainable goal for many. Today, building your own artificial reservoir has become quite possible for people of all income levels. So, how much does it cost to build a pool on your property? The cost depends on the type of pool and building materials chosen for construction.

Types of pools

The most popular options for swimming pools built on private plots are:

1. Prefabricated swimming pools.
2. Stationary pools.

Prefabricated pools

The easiest to install and use are prefabricated pools. All that is required for them is just a flat surface. Prices for such pools range from 7 to 50 thousand - depending on the type, finish and size of the pool. All that is required is to think about where exactly to place a large pool, how to fill it and where to store the emptied structure and folded for the winter.

Stationary pools

The construction of stationary pools must be treated with the utmost care: after all, such a reservoir cannot be assembled or disassembled at will, or moved from place to place.

What is required to build a permanent pool?

1. Drawing up a project for the construction of a swimming pool.
2. Preparing a pit of the required size for the pool bowl.
3. Summing up communications.
4. Construction of the pool bowl itself.
5. Finishing the pool.
6. Connecting additional equipment, starting and checking the system.
7. Maintaining a permanent pool in proper condition.

Planning a stationary reservoir is one of the most difficult stages: at this stage, the necessary building materials and additional equipment are selected; determines how much it costs to build a pool. If specialists are involved in the construction of an artificial reservoir, they prepare a project for the future pool in accordance with the client’s wishes. Self-calculation may take more time; it will be required to study various options for building materials for constructing a pool bowl, as well as additional accessories: filters, heaters, drainage system.

What does the price of a stationary pool consist of and what should you pay attention to?

1. When calculating the price, not only the length, but also the depth of the pool matters. The deeper the pool, the higher its cost - you will have to strengthen the walls. However, the more square meters in the pool, the greater the discount on the work. The final price will be less than expected.
2. The shape of the pool is of great importance when determining the cost of work. So, the more complex the shape - steps, recesses, a combination of right angles and semicircular outlines - the higher the cost of the work. The outline of a pool of one type - oval, circle or rectangle - costs less than a combined shape.
3. A separate expense item is additional options when building a swimming pool: this is not only a filter and a jacuzzi, but also lighting, artificial fountains, specific decorations, artificial grottoes and water slides of various types and scales.
4. Some companies - if you use their services - specializing in the construction of swimming pools, can also offer landscaping and landscaping services directly next to the artificial reservoir.

The cost of a permanent pool is significantly higher than the cost of a prefabricated or frame pool. Starting from 20,000 rubles for the production of 1 m3 of reinforced concrete bowl, it can reach any maximum value, depending on the size, type of finish and additional equipment.

The prices in this article are approximate and are constantly changing. If you need an exact cost, then you can get more complete information about prices for frame pools on the manufacturer’s or distributor’s website. How much a stationary pool will cost can only be found out after drawing up an estimate.

What design of a bathhouse with a swimming pool to choose and how to build it

In recent years, modest bathhouse buildings consisting of a dressing room and a steam room have come as no surprise to anyone. Now, bathhouse designs with a swimming pool and a relaxation room, with a terrace and an attic have become more popular. Such a modern complex allows you not only to take a steam bath, but also to relax in the most comfortable conditions.

Types of pools for baths and saunas

Bath pools come in several types:

1. Stationary structures. Experts consider such reservoirs to be the most reliable. Their base is a reinforced concrete bowl. The design of a bathhouse with a stationary pool requires the presence of a dug pit and subsequent pouring of the foundation. The bowl can have different parameters and shapes - it all depends on the size of the building and the personal wishes of its owner.
2. Collapsible options. Their advantage is mobility. If necessary, the pool is disassembled, moved to another place and reassembled there. Basically, collapsible structures are made using polyvinyl chloride. These types of pools are produced in different sizes and configurations. They are easy to install and sold at an affordable price. Their main disadvantage compared to stationary models is their lower degree of reliability and strength.
3. Hydromassage structures. They can be found in bath complexes and spa salons. They are relatively small in size. It is impossible to swim in such a pool. You can plunge into it after visiting the steam room and relax under the influence of hydromassage. SPA pools are sold completely ready for installation.

Sauna pool indoors or outdoors

There are several options for the location of the pool. Thanks to the use of modern technologies, it has become possible to create an artificial reservoir of any design and complexity. The most ideal solution would be to build a bathhouse with a swimming pool under the roof, where it is located indoors.

In the case when the bathhouse building has already been erected, and it is not possible to build a reservoir into it, it can be placed on the street, near the exit from the steam room. An outdoor bathhouse with a swimming pool should be protected from wind and dust by strips of green space. Their width cannot be less than 5 meters if there are local roads nearby.

To prevent water in an outdoor pool from blooming, recycling water supply systems should be used, equipped with an installation for constant or periodic water purification and disinfection.

Bathhouse with attached artificial pond

One of the ways to arrange swimming pools outside the bathhouse building is to create them in the form of an extension, which is covered with stained glass windows or, by analogy with a greenhouse, with cellular polycarbonate. This design will reliably protect the water from debris and dust.

If the temperature outside drops, the air in a bathhouse with an attached swimming pool can be heated using fan heaters or electric heaters.

Barrel sauna with pool

Sometimes it is impossible to build a full-fledged bathhouse due to the small free space on the plot. A successful solution to the problem could be the construction of a barrel sauna, which will serve as a steam room (read also: “Which barrel sauna is best for your home and garden”). But many owners want to take water treatments after visiting the steam room.

Therefore, they prefer to build a barrel sauna with a swimming pool (read: “How to make a barrel sauna with your own hands - a construction guide from a master”). A small artificial pond made of polypropylene can be installed outside.

Wooden baths with a swimming pool

Nowadays, among those who like to take a steam bath, wooden bathhouses with a swimming pool are in great demand, even if it is small in size.

Bath buildings made of natural wood can be equipped with any type of artificial pond. The choice depends on the wishes of the owners and their financial capabilities.

Preparing to create a permanent structure

Before you start building a bathhouse with a swimming pool, you should choose its size and shape. You also need to decide on the location – there are no special requirements regarding this. It is only necessary that the bottom of the bowl be at a distance of more than 50-100 centimeters from the groundwater level.

In order to protect against the effects of underground sources and to enhance the reliability of the future design, a bathhouse with a stationary pool should be equipped on a separate foundation.

It is necessary to prepare in advance all materials and tools that may be required during the work process. Their list depends on the configuration of the font that the bathhouse complex with a pool of a stationary design will have.

The standard set of building materials and tools includes:

• level;
• shovel;
• ready-made concrete mixture / container for preparing the solution and all the necessary components for it;
• boards for formwork;
• various steel products - angles, channels and others;
• polyethylene film approximately 0.7 millimeters thick, preferably with an acrylic coating or other modern waterproofing material.

You should decide in advance the issue with the concrete solution: will it be purchased ready-made or is it better to mix it yourself. Experts advise purchasing concrete that has a high degree of water absorption. The optimal choice would be W8 brand products. Such concrete has a dense structure and absorbs a minimum amount of moisture.

Project of a sauna building with a swimming pool

You need to preview the projects for building a bathhouse with a swimming pool and choose the best one. It is possible to equip an artificial pond even in a ready-made bathhouse building, although not always.

Design is one of the main stages, since the final result, and therefore the quality of the finished structure, depends on the correct and professional preparation of documentation. Read also: "Proven designs of a bathhouse with a relaxation room - construction options."

When drawing up projects for a bathhouse with a swimming pool under one roof, you need to do the following:

1. Decide on the architectural reference. Will the design of the artificial reservoir be equipped with additional elements, such as slides, waterfalls, etc.
2. Design individual elements for the bowl.
3. Make calculations of load-bearing structures.

If you have no design experience, you need to turn to professionals or find relevant information in available sources. If you have the drawings, the construction of an artificial reservoir can be completed in the shortest possible time.

A well-designed project for a sauna with a swimming pool allows you to:

1. Make calculations of the main parameters of the thicket of the reservoir.
2. Select the necessary equipment for the operation of the structure.
3. Plan the laying of utilities.
4. Take into account even the slightest nuances related to the convenient and safe use of the pool.
5. Provide for the installation of embedded elements.
6. Determine the list of necessary construction and finishing materials and their quantity.
7. Find out the approximate cost of the future pool design.

It is advisable that the set of project documentation with diagrams and drawings be accompanied by an explanatory note containing the following important points:

1. Mounted equipment.
2. Methods for replacing water and purifying it using reagents.
3. Other important nuances regarding the design of the structure and its further functioning.

Pool construction technology

All work related to the arrangement of a reservoir can be divided into several stages:

Step one. Dig a pit taking into account the design dimensions. Its depth should be 15 centimeters greater than the depth of the artificial reservoir bowl.

Step two. A 5-8 cm layer of gravel is poured onto the bottom of the pit.

Step three. The first concrete layer is poured.

Step four. Lay the reinforcing mesh.

Step five. The second layer of concrete is poured.

Step six. Install formwork boards for the walls of the bowl.

Step seven. The walls are poured with concrete. After this, excess air is removed from the mixture using a vibrating hammer. The fill is leveled and left to dry, which will take about a month. To prevent cracks from appearing, the concrete surface is regularly moistened with water.

Step eight. Perform waterproofing of hardened concrete. The simplest option would be to lay polyethylene film. Concrete can also be coated with special modern mixtures, for example, using osmosis in two layers. Before this, the surface is moistened. Then a third layer is applied using an adhesive composition with a latex additive. Read also: “How to make a bathhouse in the basement of a private house - tips for arrangement.”

How much does it cost to build a sauna with a swimming pool?

Having your own bathhouse is not a luxury, but a necessity for everyone who wants to have a great steam bath and relaxation after finishing the work week. A country cottage or dacha will be an ideal location for the construction of your future bathhouse. However, every owner is initially interested in only one question: how much will it cost to build a bathhouse with a swimming pool?

Construction yourself or professional services – which is more profitable?

If you have no idea how to approach the issue of building a bathhouse with a swimming pool, then it is recommended to use the services of specialists. However, not everyone can take advantage of professional turnkey bathhouse construction services. The simplest version of a bathhouse, which will consist of a steam room, a shower room, and a relaxation room, will cost you approximately $20,000. Moreover, provided that the contract with the contractors is successfully completed, it is quite possible to equip a swimming pool for this cost. Of course, the amount of money is quite large, but the result will be simply amazing and will not keep you waiting long.

Important! It should be noted that about 50% of the cost goes to pay for construction work. Accordingly, if you start building a bathhouse yourself, there is an opportunity to significantly save money.

Drawing up an estimate for construction work

Preliminary costs for the construction of a bathhouse can be calculated, while laying out all future work step by step, as well as a list of necessary building materials:

1. Bathhouse project. In particular, this column will include: what it is planned to build the bathhouse from, what its dimensions are, as well as individual preferences;
2. Digging a foundation pit. The construction of the bathhouse base includes the cost of purchasing building materials;
3. Walls and roof. Consumables: purchase of timber, roofing materials and boards;
4. Communications supply: wires, plumbing, pipes;
5. Furnace installation;
6. Insulation of the building;
7. Bathhouse finishing: external and internal;
8. Tools, equipment and machinery, materials for fastening;
9. Additional expenses. In this case, this column will include that part of the costs that relates to the bathhouse project with the installation of a swimming pool or jacuzzi.

Please note that when developing a project, you can save up to 40% of the total investment by ordering a project from a specialist from a government agency rather than a commercial one.

Additional amenities - swimming pool in the bathhouse

Of course, before starting to build a bathhouse with a swimming pool, this issue must be decided at the initial stage of project development. As for prices, they will range from 25 to 150 dollars per square meter. First of all, it directly depends on the type of coating you have chosen. And this is only the cost of the material itself. For example, covering with small mosaics will cost about $100, and if only a small number of colors or patterns are made. Regarding direct installation, even a small pool, it will usually cost more than materials, since this type of work requires special skills and knowledge. The same can be said about installing a jacuzzi. Of course, it is better not to start doing this type of work on your own.

DIY pool made of bricks

Your own spa complex with a sauna and an indoor pool is the dream of every summer resident. After all, splashing in the transparent turquoise water of a closed reservoir is much more pleasant than wandering along the muddy bottom of the nearest river. Making a swimming pool in your bathhouse is not an easy task, but by carefully preparing for the work, this dream can be realized with your own hands.

Do you need a swimming pool in a bathhouse?

After a hot steam room, you definitely want to quickly and sharply plunge into ice-cold water; without this, the pleasure of the bath will be incomplete. This is a pleasant and effective way of hardening, especially if the procedure is carried out regularly. Besides? In this way, physical and mental fatigue is quickly relieved, the body becomes more stress-resistant and remains young longer. The procedures are recommended for both middle-aged people and children.

Some people are afraid to install a swimming pool at home because of the complexity of its manufacture or the high cost of maintenance. But now there are many options for a hot tub, many of which are inexpensive and can be built quickly.

You should only give up a pool if the bathhouse is very tiny and there is no space for a canopy on the site.

What designs can there be?

In home baths, pools are used that differ in installation method, placement depth and type of filtration.

Types by installation method

• Collapsible. Such pools are installed very quickly and only for the period of use. A collapsible hot tub will help determine how popular the pool will be in your family. This way you can make sure that the font is necessary and find a convenient size and depth.
• Stationary. Fixed pools are built directly at the site of use. The main advantages of stationary hot tubs are high reliability, almost complete absence of restrictions on shape and size, and completely hidden communications. Among the disadvantages are high labor costs, high cost, and complexity of design (an incorrectly made pool can destroy the foundation of the building). The bowl is made of reinforced concrete, built from brick or blocks, followed by plastering and cladding, or a ready-made plastic one is purchased.
• Hydromassage. This type of hot tub is essentially a large bathtub with hydromassage devices. Installed throughout the day in an already finished building without the slightest risk to the structure itself, it looks very stylish and provides a wonderful relaxing effect. A hydromassage pool will cost much more than a simple collapsible one, but if you compare it with a stationary concrete one (made according to all the rules), the amount will be comparable.

By placement depth

There is also an intermediate type - semi-buried pools, which combine the advantages and disadvantages of both types.

By filtering method

Skimmer pools

Skimmer types of swimming pools are always protected by a side to prevent water from splashing out of the pool bowl. The side itself is usually made of the same material as the bowl; it is part of a monolithic structure.

Skimmer pools are the most compact type and are well suited for small private baths. On the technological diagram of the complex it is easy to find cleaning devices - skimmers, which is why the pools got their name. They capture the dirtiest surface layer of water, and a new chlorinated portion of liquid is added through nozzles in the side walls.

The figure shows a system for a swimming pool with water filtration, devices for automated heating, cleaning, and chlorination. If you want the water in the pool to always be clean and safe for all family members, you cannot do without all these devices. In addition, when planning a pool, it is important to immediately provide space for placing all the components of the system. Some of the pipes may be located underground, but for the devices it will be necessary to allocate a technical room at a level below the bottom of the pool.

Overflow

Overflow types of pools look more elegant and impressive due to the lack of a side. They are surrounded by a trench into which excess water splashed out of the bowl falls. Since all contaminants are collected on the surface of the liquid, and a fresh portion comes from the bottom nozzles, the water is constantly cleaned using an overflow chute. You can jump into a pool like this without fear of having to wipe the floor clean of puddles later. But the likelihood of accidentally tripping and falling into such a pool is much higher, so families with small children and elderly parents should be careful.

Another disadvantage of overflow pools is the need to equip an additional technical room of a much larger size than when installing a skimmer pool. In addition to standard appliances, an overflow tank should also be placed there, into which excess water is drained and missing water is collected. In addition, the bowl itself has to be made wider due to the fact that an overflow gutter runs along the entire edge.

Overflow pools are very beautiful, but you can create one in your bathhouse only if the room allocated for the pool has parameters of 7x4 m. If you wish, you can equip a covered extension next to the existing bathhouse for this purpose.

Getting ready for construction work

If you prefer a prefabricated or hydromassage pool, you will not have to carry out construction work. You just need to choose a model that is suitable for the price and fits in the allocated room. In the case of a hydromassage font, the selling company often provides installation services and gives a guarantee for the entire system at once.

If you buy a hydromassage pool, entrust the installation to professionals.

But if you like stationary pools, you will have to work hard. In a private bathhouse, we recommend making a skimmer plunge pool, since an overflow plunge pool will take up an unreasonably large amount of space and will require significantly more effort and investment.

Specifying the parameters of the pool

First, let's decide on the depth. If the family has children under adolescence, the pool should not be deeper than 1–1.2 m. A depth of 2 m is needed only for swimming; any adult can plunge headlong into a font measuring 1.5 m. A pool depth of 1.5 m is considered universal. 1.65 m, but if there is a lot of space in the room, you can make a multi-level pool with deep and shallow areas.

Optimally, one person should have 2 m2 of pool water. If the font is used by a family of four, the best size is 4x2 m.

The length of the pool depends on how it is used. You can just take a dip or splash around with your child in a 2x2 m plunge pool, but for swimming you need at least 5.5 m. In a shallow swimming pool you will also need to install a counterflow system.

The width of the font is determined by the parameters of the zone allocated for it. It is important that the edge of the pool does not come into contact with the walls, so the font should be 0.6–1 m narrower than the distance between the walls, but not less than 1.5 m.

The shape of the font is limited by the materials used. If you prefer a plastic font, you can choose an option with rounded smooth lines, or a simple round/rectangular bowl. Manufacturers offer a very wide selection of models of different depths, volumes and shapes. Be careful with the dimensions, take into account the required technological gap between the pool and the wall.

Those who want to cast a concrete bowl can shape the pool as they wish, but the bends and turns should not be too sharp, otherwise the mosaic will have to be trimmed at the cladding stage. Since this is a labor-intensive operation, and the result often does not look aesthetically pleasing, concrete bowls are often made rectangular, sometimes with rounded corners or one of the sides.

Those who build the base of the structure from bricks or blocks have little choice: square, rectangle or trapezoid. Theoretically, it is possible to make a slight bend in such a pool, but this requires great professionalism of the craftsmen. In addition, you will have to apply an uneven layer of plaster, and this is an additional risk of delamination of the structure. Therefore, it is better not to take risks and give preference to simple forms.

Above ground hot tub with plastic bowl

The easiest way to make a pool is to purchase a plastic bowl and place it at floor level. Then only the supply and discharge pipes will be under the floor, and all other appliances can be placed in the basement. Minimum excavation work, no risk to the foundation, no costs for waterproofing and no complex calculations. From the purchases: the bowl itself, facing panels (you can use the remains of the lining), water pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene or polypropylene, connectors for them, as well as additional devices: pump, filtration system, water heater, skimmer and pressure gauge. You can monitor the quality of water yourself, without automation.

Complex tools are also not needed. A standard gardener's kit will be enough: a jigsaw for trimming the front panels, a mallet for fitting them, the simplest soldering iron for assembling pipes, a sensor, a utility knife and a screwdriver for installing the electrical part of the system.

Those who want to have a built-in automated pool will have to look into excavation robots.

If you are planning to equip your first pool, you will not be able to provide for all the nuances. Therefore, it is best to use ready-made projects, which indicate all the necessary pipes, leads and components. Examples of projects are attached to the article. You can change the parameters of the bowl as you wish. But in no case should you reduce the power of filters or pumps without a reason, otherwise the system will not be able to cope with the load.

Instructions for installing an in-ground swimming pool with a plastic bowl

You need to do the following:

• Prepare a pit 60–70 cm wider and longer than the purchased bowl. The depth depends on your desire and capabilities; you can make either a fully or semi-buried pool. Thoroughly compact the earth in the hole, and then arrange a cushion from a layer of fine crushed stone and coarse sand. After compacting the cushion, place the bowl so that there is a slight slope towards the drain hole. When a slope is provided for in the design of the bowl, the side is positioned strictly according to the level. If after installation some of the pipes cannot be connected, they should be mounted and sealed before placing the plastic container in the pit.
• Make a border around the bowl made of stone, brick or reinforced concrete so that there is a small gap between it and the bowl. This is a reserve for thermal expansion of the container. It is best if the edge starts 10–20 cm deeper than the base of the plastic bowl. The solution should be made from concrete grade M350 or higher, so that the wall does not collapse from moisture. Builders do not recommend making the pool end-to-end with the walls of the room, so that the structure does not experience excessive loads. Make sure that the pipes connected to the side holes fit freely between the side and the bowl.
• Cover the edge of the pool with plastic panels, porcelain tiles or treated wood with increased water resistance. Since the side material does not experience such heavy loads as the pool bowl, even ceramic tiles can be used here. But the grout must be specialized for swimming pools, based on polymer resins.
• All that remains is to connect the automation and install the ladder into the pool.

If you do not have experience in electrical and plumbing repairs, it is better to entrust the installation of pipelines and connection of devices to the appropriate specialists. This is the only way you can be sure that the system will be reliable and safe.

Making a swimming pool with a concrete bowl with your own hands

This method of making a pool is the most complex and responsible. Under no circumstances should you pour a concrete bowl without a detailed design and calculation of the loads on the ground. Otherwise, there is a risk that after construction, a crack will appear in the foundation or wall of the sauna house, and the bowl itself will be washed away by groundwater. Therefore, you can start acting only after you find a project that suits you in all respects.

Swimming pool diagrams downloaded for free on the Internet do not take into account the specifics of your structure and the geology of the area, so ideally you should contact a design bureau for documentation. They will develop detailed plans for builders, plumbers and electricians on 7-10 pages with recommendations.

The correct project will indicate all the necessary materials, methods of connecting pipes, diameter of fittings and power of devices. It is extremely difficult to make such calculations on your own. Only a professional, after studying the area and your bathhouse structure, will be able to tell to what size the cell size can be increased when creating a reinforcement mesh, or when to further strengthen the foundation. Remember that by saving on the designer’s work, you risk being left not only without a pool, but also without a bathhouse.

Based on the finished project, you can start working. Let's consider the process based on an indoor skimmer pool measuring 3960x2870 mm:

1. Dig a pit 2.08 m deep, 3.43 m wide and 4.52 m long in the designated area. Compact all surfaces with a hand tamper or vibrating machine.
2. If the site is located in an area with marshy soil, additional drainage should be installed so that groundwater does not destroy the foundation of the pool. Dig trenches 45–50 cm deep along the pit, make a cushion of fine crushed stone and coarse sand in them. Lay drainage pipes with a diameter of 15 cm in the ditches so that they drain water into a drainage well or septic tank. Fill the trench with layers of crushed stone, sand and soil and level the base of the pit.
3. Lay a drainage pipe at a slope through which the liquid will drain. Use a plastic sewer pipe with a diameter of 10 cm with a socket connection. Since the water will be chlorinated, it cannot be discharged into a common septic tank. Install a sewer well at a distance of at least 5 m from the pool and place a drain pipe into it. Fill the trench with the pipe with crushed stone, sand and soil in layers.
4. Arrange a cushion for the pool: pour a 10-centimeter layer of fine gravel over the entire area of ​​the pit, compact it; cover with a 4-5 cm layer of coarse sand. Level and compact the pillow thoroughly; it will become the basis for the entire structure. After this, pour a layer of concrete 3–5 cm thick so that the subsequently placed reinforcement is isolated from water and does not rust. Cement must be taken with a high water absorption coefficient. The bags must be marked W-8 and M350.
5. Make the frame of the bowl from reinforcing bars 10 mm thick so that the cell size does not exceed 200x200 mm (unless otherwise specified in the technical design). Tie the rods together with wire so that the connection is free. Knots that are rigidly fixed by welding will burst over time.
6. Before pouring, place the embeds so that technological niches and openings are formed in the right places.
7. Build formwork from sheets of chipboard, plywood or boards and film (needed to cover the cracks) so that the distance between the outer and inner walls is 25–30 cm. The structure must be reliable so that it does not deform under the weight of the concrete being poured.
8. Fill the reinforcement with a cement-sand mixture (concrete W-8 and M350, check the ratio with sand on the packaging). If you don't have a concrete mixer, it's worth renting a tool. The pool bowl is poured in one go without interruption, so you will need to quickly make a large amount of construction mixture. If this rule is not followed, the concrete bowl will quickly crack. After pouring, remove air bubbles from the mixture with a vibrator or a long reinforcing rod. Swirl the solution by sharply plunging and pulling the rod, repeat the procedure around the entire perimeter of the bowl.
9. A week after pouring, remove the formwork. Moisten the surface of the concrete daily for a month so that drying proceeds evenly and cracks do not appear.
10. Plaster the inner surface of the bowl so as to level the geometry and give the bowl the desired shape. The technology of work is standard, only you need to take a specialized mixture with the addition of latex. You can also add liquid glass yourself. The layer of plaster should not exceed 25 cm. Pay attention to the embeds so as not to accidentally close the required technological hole. The plaster layer dries for 1–2 months.
11. After the concrete has completely dried, insulate the inside and outside of the bowl. Treat the concrete with liquid glass, then with agents to increase adhesion (concrete contact), polymer mastic, and finally with a dense film with welded seams. Check the packaging for the period required for drying each layer; it differs from one manufacturer to another.
12. Line the inside of the bowl and pool edge. Lay pipes along the outer contour and fill the pit. Lay tiles or other flooring used in the room around the pool.

To work, you will need a standard set of tools: a skein of thread for marking the foundation on the ground; shovels for digging; tamping machine; wheelbarrow for transporting building materials; grinder for cutting reinforcement; metal scissors or wire cutters; jigsaw for cutting formwork fragments; construction level for quality control of construction; usually a trowel and spatula for plaster, a rubber spatula for grouting, etc.

For the manufacture and finishing of the pool, use only specialized materials, otherwise the structure will have to be redone in 2-3 years.

Methods for finishing a concrete bowl

The previous stages of construction determine how reliable and functional the pool will be, and the cladding determines whether it will be beautiful. In modern construction, three options are used:

• PVC film. A special thick film is tightly glued to the waterproofed walls and bottom of the bowl, all seams are carefully welded and waterproofed. This is the most economical finishing option; any design can be printed on the film, the material is not afraid of fungi and microalgae, and the seams are invisible. Installation of such cladding requires some skill (to smooth out wrinkles and bubbles in time), but it can be done independently. With these advantages, the film remains subject to mechanical stress; over time, it can be wiped or accidentally torn, and then the damage will need to be soldered or patched. The film can be cleaned with a sponge and soap, but under no circumstances should it be rubbed with abrasive agents.
• Glass mosaic. Small squares of tempered glass are excellent for lining complex-shaped pools and allow you to create complex patterns and geometric compositions on the bottom and walls. This material looks great 50–80 years after installation, and is absolutely not afraid of water, disinfecting reagents and biological agents (mold, algae). But mosaics are expensive, starting from $24 per square meter, and in addition, they impose strict requirements on the quality of glue and grout. If you skimp on epoxy, the seams can quickly turn black, turn green or crack. But glass mosaic tiles are not difficult to care for; they can be cleaned with any detergent. If you don't want the squares to become cloudy, you should also avoid abrasives.
• Porcelain tiles for swimming pools. Only premium class pools are finished in this way, since specialized tiles for a swimming pool cost 25–35% more than tempered glass mosaics. The reason for this price is that its manufacturing technology allows for water absorption below 3%, and this is more difficult and more expensive than the production of conventional tiles. But porcelain tiles look simply great, last 50 years or longer, and also allow you to reduce the number of seams - the most vulnerable areas in the pool lining. The material is completely inert to chloride compounds and household chemicals. There will be no problems with caring for it; even light abrasives (gels and pastes with inclusions of solid particles) can be used when cleaning.

If both aesthetics and durability are important to you, give preference to glass mosaic, but when you need to save money, you can get by with film. Over time, the PVC coating can be dismantled and replaced with another, for example, the same mosaic.

If desired, you can create an exclusive pool by ordering tempered glass panels with photo printing for cladding, or by pouring a bowl from artificial stone. These options look completely unique, but are much more expensive than standard ones.

If you do not want to spend a lot of time and money on arranging a swimming pool, such a plunge pool will come in handy. It won’t be difficult to make; you just need to add a drain pipe to the structure from below. You can fill it with clean water from the tap only on those days when the sauna is in use. Since the water will not constantly stand in the font, it will not need to be chlorinated, and this is a definite plus for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin.

Try to carefully adhere to the requirements of the instructions, do not change the design of the pool and do not try to save on communications. Then your pool will become a favorite place for relaxation for the whole family.
