When there is no extra space, when the available area is very small, but you still really want to get a bathhouse, you have to consider miniature options. In such a situation, a 4x3 sauna can be a very promising solution. This particular solution is considered the smallest; building a bathhouse even smaller simply does not make sense. After all, this small area should accommodate a steam room and a dressing room, and somewhere else it will be necessary to organize a washing room.
Just finished work
But 3x4 baths are easy to build; you can actually install them with your own hands without any problems. When creating them, you need to purchase or prepare a minimum of material, and the construction process itself can allow a beginner to master the basics in order to later engage in more serious and large buildings.
Important! At least one side of the steam room in such a bath should have the dimension of human height, be at least 190 cm. This will make it possible to install shelves on which a person can lie at full height while steaming.

Construction process
Work on the site
In order to build such a bathhouse, it is worth using wood materials. After all, they are environmentally friendly and do not emit any harmful substances when heated. There is no need to chase “progressive innovations” - the bathhouse should be, first and foremost, natural.
Winter or summer
Sometimes they are built from expanded clay
It is known that there are two design options for baths. Your 3 by 4 bathhouse was built with your own hands, it can be winter or summer. If you don’t know which option to give preference to, it’s better to choose a winter one. After all, the price of winter construction will be no more than 15 percent higher, and only a little more effort will be expended during construction. And you can use the steam room at any time! However, if you, in principle, only visit your dacha in the summer, then the winter option will be completely useless to you.
We build from logs
Let's consider the process of building a traditional log bathhouse of this size. If something seems incomprehensible to you, the video in this article will help you understand it in detail.
- Purchased or harvested logs need to be sanded. This way, you can check the quality of the wood with your own eyes and find defects, if any.
- After sanding, it is worth measuring the diameter of the logs on both sides, at the ends. The ideal is 18-20 cm, no more than 30 cm, the figures are the same on both sides.
- If defects are found during sanding, or the diameter of the log at different ends differs by more than 3 cm, such a log should be discarded.
Logs need to be sanded
We are preparing the foundation for a 3 by 4 bathhouse, focusing on the type of soil and the specifics of the construction. A bathhouse does not need a particularly reliable foundation.
Strip base for a future bathhouse
Next, a log house is built from the selected logs. You can invite a specialist for this - if you want to see the bathhouse ideal. Or you can do it all yourself. We lay the floor, warm or cold. As a rule, the floor is still insulated, at least by filling expanded clay underneath the space. It will require about 2.5 cubic meters. You can use a clay screed on top, and put a sanded board on it. When you finish this work, the hardest part will be over, but there will still be something to work on.
Don't forget about protection
Since all materials in the bathhouse will be subject to particularly severe exposure to negative factors, the instructions assume the need for wood processing. To protect logs, use hypoallergenic antiseptics of natural origin, or those designed specifically for baths. When heated, such substances do not emit anything that can harm the health of steamers, and therefore it is worth using them.
Log processing
The gaps need to be closed
When thinking about how to build a 3x4 bathhouse with your own hands, do not forget that you will have to redo a lot of small work. If you have chosen a log, you should understand that it will not be perfect, and cracks will still remain. You need to get rid of them by caulking all the joints. For such work, the most ordinary tow is used, and it will take about 0.5 kg per meter of seam. This material must also be pre-treated with antiseptics. You will have to caulk at least twice - at this stage of work, and in a year, when the log house has settled. And the next step will be to create the roof.
We caulk all joints
Roofing
You can choose any type of roof for such a construction, but you should not create too complex structures. If desired, you can cover the roof with shingles or any of the traditional materials. This aspect is entirely at your discretion. If you need a small bathhouse, then the 3 by 4 option will fully meet your needs and will allow you to steam even in the countryside. You can build this sauna without difficulty if you use simple instructions and useful tips - even a beginner can handle it.
Roofing is a critical stage
Construction Features
A characteristic feature of baths is difficult conditions of use. For construction, you need a material that can withstand strong changes in t0 and high levels of humidity. This building material should not contribute to the formation of fungi, mold, or release harmful substances.
Of the materials used in construction, wood performs the above functions best. If the harvesting and processing rules are followed, the wood is characterized by:
- resistance to high moisture and temperature changes;
- light weight;
- vapor permeability;
- environmental friendliness;
- creating a special atmosphere;
- low heat conductivity coefficient.
The log is characterized by slight damage to the structure, which contributes to a long service life. The log house of the bathhouse can be used no earlier than six months after construction, which is due to shrinkage, which is about 10%.
conclusions

Such a building does not put forward any special requirements; it can be erected fairly quickly and without calling in specialists. And even with the choice of project there will be no problems - almost all of them are of the same type (see also the article “Layout of a 3x4 bath - even if it’s “tiny”, but it still requires a plan”).

Advantages of a 3 by 4 log bath
The main advantage of a bath of this size is its compactness. The small dimensions of the bathhouse allow you to save on construction costs. But despite its small size, it is quite comfortable. Experienced designers are able to accommodate the necessary planning components and offer several options.
The undeniable advantage of such log houses is rapid construction. But the speed of construction does not in any way affect the quality of the structure. The result is a reliable and durable room that does not require repairs or additional maintenance.
Accommodation requirements
There are certain requirements for the placement of a bathhouse. The location of such premises is regulated at the legislative level. Compliance with the requirements primarily ensures the safety of residents. Also, in the case of selling a country house or cottage, the building on the site must be registered. Therefore, if the bathhouse is built, installed incorrectly and not registered, it will have to be dismantled.
There are a number of requirements for the location of the bath:
- no closer than 8 meters to the house (this also applies to the neighbor’s);
- at least 12 meters to a body of water (well, etc.);
- no closer than 3 meters from the neighbor’s property.
Layout
The required components of any bathhouse, including those measuring 3 by 4, are:
- locker room;
- steam room;
- shower room
The best proportion for these rooms is considered to be 2-1-1.5. Thus, the locker room, also known as the dressing room, is twice as large as the steam room itself, and the wash room is 1.5 times larger. In the 3*4 baths, supplemented by an attic floor, there is room for organizing a recreation area. In the warm season, this function can be performed by a terrace or veranda.
To build a comfortable and ergonomic bathhouse, you do not need to calculate the dimensions yourself. The basis of construction is a finished project where everything is thought out to the smallest detail.
Subtleties of building a small bathhouse
When creating a bathhouse, in particular a small one, special attention should be paid to fire safety requirements. The risks of fire for those staying in the bathhouse increase as there is minimal space inside.
Important! When constructing a chimney, pay attention to the presence of a metal box for protection.
The stove itself in the steam room should be built from good baked bricks, using reliable fittings. Furnace laying should be trusted only to experienced craftsmen. The best protection for the stove will be a ceramic or porcelain lining, which will also increase its service life.
An important point is the arrangement of ventilation. An important feature is its location. It should be in the lower part, and not in the upper part, as in residential premises. Everything that is washed off - the remains of dirt and sweat - is better pulled out by the lower hood. In this case, clean air will arrive from above, which is ensured by a supply system in a standard location.
