Russian bathhouse with friends, this is an excellent opportunity to relax, relax with friends and improve it. It is more interesting to bathe when you have the opportunity to get all the "33" pleasures at once: and in the steam room to visit, and in the font of the Ice Wilder to plunge. If you have your own bathhouse, but there is not enough font, then there remains the font for a bath with your own hands.

The work is this complex, time consuming and perhaps costly, but if there is a huge desire, then all "but" retreat on the background.

Species Fike Bath

Before you begin to solve the most important issue, you need to understand what kind of font it is best to choose. For example, in distant times in Russia, peasants and noble people loved to go to the bathhouse. And in the usual Russian bath, the font was sure - it was the usual wooden barrel of round or oval shape. Currently bought from wood is also sufficiently common, only the form can be chosen any: in the form of a circle, oval, square, polygon or rectangle. It all depends on how much there is a free space in the bathhouse and on the number of visitors.

What types of fasteners are:

• wooden - barrels are made of such wood species: oak, larch, cedar. The tree is necessarily treated with substances that prevent moisture ingress (for example, wax). Such a font looks worthily, the tree is an environmentally friendly material, plus also has a positive effect on the body. Wooden font will last for many years, if it is careful to care for it: I will definitely, at least once a week, fill the container with water (cold), even if the bathhouse is rarely used. It is also necessary to ensure good ventilation of the bottom, and after receiving water procedures, close the barrel of the floor (a precipitated door of the tree) or film;

• the cast-iron font is a gorgeous option for the adoption of water procedures, only the cost of the finished bowl is too high, and also problematic to install the font in the bath independently due to the impressive weight. There is a cheaper and simple option - make a fastener from a stainless steel. The inner part of the container was focused, both from the cast iron and from steel, lay the shields of wood or stone;

• concrete font is a durable and practical option. Such a font recalls a small pool. You can make a concrete structure on your own, but it is necessary to think about it even at the initial stage - when building a bath, because you need to deepen under the concrete font;

• the polypropylene font is the most acceptable option - the cost of such a container is available, with installation, no problems usually occur. You can see 2 options for foxes with different wall thickness: 8 and 5 mm.

2. Square font of the tree - such a model will rarely meet, because the design is not tough. As practice has shown, such a model is not very convenient. In addition, it is impossible to make a fully font of the square shape due to the fact that the corners of the design will dry up for a long time, and it is destructive for a tree. Therefore, models dual - the external frame of the wooden font will be square, and the internal round or rounded shape.
3. The font is triangular or angular - the appropriate option for small rooms. Internal angles of such a font will be rounded (if a bowl of wood).
