Bath on the water: photos and videos of interesting options for floating steam rooms

A built bathhouse on the water looks unusual and quite impressive, no matter how the structure is designed or where the watercraft is moored. In any case, the combination of relaxing on the water with the opportunity to take a steam bath makes the idea of building a swimming bath with your own hands extremely interesting and promising. Especially if there is a suitable body of water or river in the suburban area.

Design

The construction of a floating sauna is slightly different from the construction of a steam room on land. For example, “earth” structures are built on a pile, strip, columnar and monolithic foundation (depending on the soil) from a variety of materials. And floating health resorts are built mainly using frame technology, since they must be lightweight, otherwise they will have to build a pontoon the size of an aircraft carrier. Although, there are always exceptions...

It, that is, the pontoon is made of plastic, metal or wood. Plastic construction is used most often because it has a long service life. But if the climate is seriously harsh, you will have to take out the steam room, since wintering in the ice will not lead to anything good. A pontoon requires an anchor, so you can “park” almost anywhere.

By the way, in order to circumvent the conditions for placing a bathhouse in a water protection zone, many owners of steam rooms install non-self-propelled barges under the structure, which are considered a floating device.

Regarding the body, it can be identical to an ordinary “earthly” steam room. Oh, by the way, today the barrel sauna proudly flaunts in the dazzling rays of glory. It is compact, attractive, comfortable and known for its reasonable price.

Where does the water drain from the sink? In special containers located under the bottom. After which it is poured into the sewerage system or into settling tanks on the shore. Many bathhouses, whose owners did not skimp on the arrangement, are equipped with filtration systems. What does it mean? The water is immediately discharged into the reservoir after purification, which is very convenient and practical.

As you can see, there is nothing supernatural about floating steam rooms, but, nevertheless, they give a fabulous experience! I can personally confirm this: about 5 years ago I was in Novosibirsk at the Ob Reservoir. There are no limits to emotions...

Documentation

A sauna as a business requires mandatory documentation, since otherwise the conduct of business will be illegal and you will face a large fine for this, at a minimum.

To register a bathhouse as a business, you need to collect approximately the following package of documents:

Permission from the fire department.
If the establishment is located in a residential building, then permission from the Housing Inspectorate.
Permission from the sanitary and epidemiological station.
Agreements for: garbage removal, maintenance of the ventilation system, disinfection of premises, washing of clothes.
Lease contract.
Service agreement for communication systems.
Agreements with public utilities for the supply of electricity, water, heating.

And most importantly - documents for a registered enterprise - individual entrepreneur or LLC.

Bathhouse on the water in Moscow

Our water bath is a place where you can relieve stress, relax, transform, restore, rejuvenate, and wash away the stress of everyday life.

Layout

Any work to improve the territory should begin with planning

In the plan, it is important to outline the location of all elements, indicate their sizes and materials. The location next to a pond and a gazebo or terrace installed on the flooring is considered successful

Paths to the pond should be planned, as well as entry points into the water if the pond is intended for swimming. If you plan to sunbathe on the platform, then you should consider its size so that sun loungers and umbrellas can be easily installed on it. The same applies to the floorings on which you plan to dine - they need to accommodate the required amount of furniture and provide a good approach from the food preparation area.

Important! The design and materials from which the flooring is made must be in harmony with the overall design style of the site. So, if the design is made in a rustic style, then it is better to make the structure wooden; in a country house in a modern style, it is better to make it tiled

The plan should also include plants that are planned to be planted near water. Hostas, buzulnik, marsh marigold, lake reeds, male shieldweed, and Aponogenton bispica are well suited for this purpose. An interesting detail in the design of the water source are the bridges. The key elements are railings, which can provide two functions: aesthetic and safety.

When planning, you should also consider the design of the flooring. It is necessary to make a preliminary drawing and draw its image on tracing paper. This way you can clearly imagine whether the design of the future flooring will fit into the overall design.

Bathhouse on the water: projects

All existing schemes for constructing a floating steam room can be divided into three categories:

House on a raft;
Towed floating baths;
Conversion of a small vessel, boat, catamaran or assembly of several boats into a bathhouse.

In the latter case, the bathhouse takes on its own course. Thanks to a small outboard motor, the floating bath complex can be driven 100-200 m from the shore and returned to the pier in the evening or in case of emergency.

House on the water project

There are more than enough options for constructing a bathhouse building on a floating platform. Structurally, the bath complex is built from two large modules:

Bathhouse box with heating equipment, insulation and rest area;
Floating platform with pontoons.

As a rule, there are no problems with building a bathhouse. Usually they use a standard timber frame house or a frame house, reinforced at the base with additional stiffeners, photo.

To equip a floating platform, you can make it from logs or use ready-made modules. A sauna on a raft looks quite confident, but only if the dimensions of the room do not exceed 3x4 m.

The main difficulty in building floating steam rooms is the correct alignment of the room relative to the raft or platform. The load capacity of the base is usually calculated based on the weight of the structure plus 600 kg for firewood and passengers.

If an error is made in the calculations of a floating bath, it can be corrected by installing tied polyethylene barrels. By collecting a certain amount of water into containers placed around the perimeter of the raft, it is possible to balance and raise the floating platform above the water surface of the reservoir.

Pontoon construction

Floating baths on a platform made of pontoons are considered the safest and most reliable in operation. Traditionally, the frame for the base is made from oak or hardwood timber or, more recently, from an aluminum profile.

Plastic or steel 100-liter barrels are attached to the bottom of the floating bathhouse in three lines, according to a catamaran pattern. As a rule, the buoyancy reserve of a bathhouse on a pontoon allows you to remain on the surface of the water even in a situation where half of the tanks are flooded.

A steam room box on pontoons can be placed almost anywhere on the site, thanks to this you can create a bathhouse with access to the water; a folding staircase allows you to go down into a river or lake without leaving the room.

For example, the well-streamlined Tristan-3M allows you to tow a floating bathhouse with a motor boat, while the strength, quality and durability of the pontoon block are many times greater than homemade foam and barrel structures. Thanks to the fiberglass walls and the special shape of the body, bathhouses on a pontoon can be left for the winter on the coastal line of a reservoir.

Floating sauna based on a boat

The most reliable way to ensure safe relaxation and visiting a steam room on the water involves using the hull of a boat or river pleasure boat as the basis.

One of the options for a comfortable floating bath is shown in the figure below. In fact, this is not even a steam room, but a full-fledged residential building on the water:

The dimensions of the room are 5x3 m, of which 2x3 m is allocated for a relaxation room, 1.2x1.5 for a shower, the rest for a steam room and a kitchen. Ceiling height 180 cm;
The floating sauna is provided with electricity, hot and warm water by a 30 kW propulsion motor;
The body of the bathhouse is made of waterproof plywood, insulated with foam plastic and fiber mats, and lined with cedar lining inside.

If necessary, the floating version of the yacht-sauna can be easily transported on a trailer to any suitable body of water.

Construction technology

A floating steam room differs from one installed on the shore only in increased requirements for waterproofing and specific ventilation. You will definitely need to treat all external surfaces with mastic - and especially the base of the building. The use of frame floating baths based on galvanized profiles is widespread. For insulation, a mineral wool slab with a foil layer is often used. The outer layers are formed on the basis of foam boards.

Any wooden parts must be coated with a layer of epoxy yacht varnish. Other impregnations will have to be abandoned.

It is necessary to fix the pontoon using briquettes and pipes if they can be deepened into the bottom by 1 m, but it is easier to use cables or chains. The work will require the use of special machines; the supports must correspond to the size and weight of the bathhouse.

Adviсe:

coat the bottom with clay;
assemble the frame on the shore, then move it to the desired location;
provide multi-stage filtration of wastewater;
cover the roof with metal tiles.

Features of the construction of floating baths

If you are interested in a floating bathhouse, then before developing a project, you should consider the following aspects:

There is environmental legislation prohibiting the construction of such buildings in an environmental zone. Depending on the type of natural reservoir, this zone can occupy from 50 meters (for river sources) to half a kilometer (if we are talking about large lakes).
Placing a building on a raft will only be possible if the dirty water is discharged outside the water protection zone, arriving ashore, or the design provides for a multi-stage purification system.

In the case of your own pond, you should think about cleaning or draining dirty water long before creating the project. Otherwise, a small picturesque pond will quickly turn into a swamp.

Design features of a bathhouse on a pontoon

The construction of floating baths with your own hands requires a radically different approach than the construction of traditional buildings.

And the changes concern both the foundation and the building itself:

, columnar, pile or monolithic. It all depends on the type of soil on the site.

Here the pontoon can be of two types:

Plastic.

Wood.

Buildings on plastic pontoons are most common. And if you live in a region with not very severe winters, and water bodies do not freeze in winter, then you will not have any special problems with the operation of such a building.

Some experts install non-self-propelled barges under such baths. They are considered a watercraft, therefore such structures are not subject to the rules for placement in a water protection zone.

Naturally, the price of both the barge and the construction of a bathhouse on it will be very high. However, if you initially planned to build a bathhouse as a commercial project, then they will not offer you anything better.

The materials for constructing walls are usually logs, bricks, beams or wall blocks. For floating baths, only wood or frame technology should be used as a material, since the dead weight of such a structure should be small.

Due to the limited carrying capacity, the number of people on board at the same time must also be strictly regulated.

Instructions for use

Some experts recommend not only preparing folk remedies using a bath, but also heating food. How to heat food in a water bath? It's quite simple:

Place a large saucepan on the stove, fill it with water about a quarter;
bring water to a boil;
Place the ingredients you need in a smaller diameter pan and place in a larger container with boiling water.

What does it mean to heat in a water bath and what is the advantage here? Food can be heated to a temperature of 40 to 90°C, depending on the intensity of boiling water. It is believed that food heated in this way is more useful than food that, for example, was prepared in a microwave, including because it eliminates burning and exposure to microwaves, the harmful effects of which are still debated to this day.

A water bath is an exclusive design that dispels stereotypes!

I warmly welcome you, dear readers!

Horribly tired of triviality? Crazy tired of stereotyping? Is banality terribly annoying? Do you want something new? Then visit a place where exotic reigns supreme. Oh, n-e-e-t. There is no need to travel to distant hot countries. Intrigued?

OK OK. I won't test your patience. There is one place that I am sure you will really like. Just imagine: a majestic forest, sonorous birdsong, divine aromas of herbs, a crystal clear river, velvety steam, fragrant brooms, healthy teas and peaceful swaying. Babble!

No. You guessed wrong! This is not just a steam room built in a mysterious forest near a river that pampers you with fabulous beauty, but an extravagant bathhouse on the water. What is this? I'll tell you now. I am sure that such a “miracle” will certainly please you, please you, and you can afford not only its visit, but also its construction!

From this article you will learn:

Preparation and design

If the decision to build a floating bathhouse is finally made, then it is necessary to carefully study all stages of construction and subsequently carry them out as carefully as possible.

Water bath project

First of all, there is a preparation stage. It is necessary to decide on which pontoon the bathhouse will be built, and also to draw up a detailed drawing of the future building. The bottom line is that, by and large, the construction of a floating bathhouse is not much different from the construction of a regular one. The main problem is to make the bathhouse stay afloat. This is usually achieved by installing it on a floating pontoon, which can be of three types:

Metal pontoon. This may be a factory-made or custom-made design. This option cannot be called cheap; in addition, constant maintenance will be required - cleaning and painting the body.
Plastic pontoon. This option is lighter in weight, which means it can withstand greater loads. It is also worth considering that in this case we are talking about a factory-made version, so you can predict the final result with some accuracy.
Wooden pontoon. This option can be found more often than the previous one. The fact is that in areas with a temperate continental climate there are distinct seasons, and water bodies most often freeze in winter, which makes the use of plastic pontoons impossible.

Styling is a treasure trove of ideas

As you know, people love with their eyes. Therefore, the objects that are part of the bath and health complex must proudly demonstrate a single style. In addition, we should not forget about the territory on which such a structure sits. So, what's in fashion now? Today the following are in demand:

colorful Russian style;

Wisdom Quote: The fewer faults we have, the more tolerant we are of the faults of others (Samuel Johnson).

Choosing a foundation type

Before you begin directly building a bathhouse with your own hands, you need to make simple calculations and select the material for constructing the walls. The type of foundation will depend on what material is used to build the bathhouse. If the walls are brick or block, you will need a strip foundation.

The soil under the bathhouse is garden, forest or liquid (swamp) - the foundation is monolithic strip.
The ground consists of fine gravel, coarse sand, loam or clay - the foundation is columnar.
The soil consists of quartz, rocky rocks or dense fine-grained sand - any type of foundation.
When the soil allows the construction of a columnar foundation, it is better to choose this type. Its construction will take you less time and effort, as well as material costs.

Wakeboarding

This is an extreme sport that looks extremely chic when performed by professionals. These include acrobatic stunts, insane speed, and the beauty of movement.

If you are a beginner, then even just riding a wake will inject a fair amount of adrenaline into your blood - we know, because we once rode with the entire editorial team (the developer fell the most, but this happens in his life too, so it doesn’t matter)

The whole point of wakeboarding is that you hold on to a halyard that pulls you along the surface of the water. The cable can be connected to an electric motor (cable wakeboarding), or it can be attached to a boat (boat wakeboarding). Your task is to maintain balance and move along an already given route. If you can perform a trick using a running wave or a springboard, then well done, but if you fall, then it’s okay. The boots are rigidly fixed to the board.

Pontoon installation

If the issue with the type of pontoon used is resolved, then you can proceed to its installation.

The plastic version is simply assembled according to the instructions. If we are talking about a wooden pontoon, then there is a little more work to be done. The main question is what to use as floating elements. An example is metal barrels. You can also use thin-walled large-diameter pipes that are welded at both ends. These “floats” must be connected together in such a way as to form a kind of raft, with the difference that it can withstand impressive loads. The base is attached to the shore or pier with metal chains.

Bath day with hay.

In terms of volume, we will need a well-filled bag of hay. Before visiting the bathhouse, put the hay on the shelves. To avoid fire, moisten it with water, and during your visit, pour boiling water over the hay. The aroma of steam at this moment is difficult to describe!

Upon completion, we take the hay out onto the deck to dry so that it does not rot on the shelves, or throw it away.

After every visit to the bathhouse, you want to dive into the clean Don.

The rules are as follows:

If the raft is located near the shore, for safety, hang a lifebuoy on a rope at the stern.
Jump into the water only feet first, carefully, without aggression, or go down the ladder.
It is prohibited to jump into the water with your head. Shallows and sloughs in the water are unpredictable.
You can also rinse off with a bucket right on the deck.

Marketing – how to start promoting?

At the initial stage of development of a bathhouse project for a business, the marketing strategy is one of the most important points, as this will bring customers. The following will work well in this area of business:

Signboard – it should be bright, informative, with a memorable original name.
Development of your own website, group on a social network.
Contextual and targeted advertising.
Registration in online catalogs.
Advertising in the media, radio and television.

You can also hold attractive promotions and sweepstakes - this will also help attract customers.

Domed bathhouse: features of the structure

Story

Do you think that a domed sauna is an innovative invention? But no. The spherical steam room was born in the 5th century BC! In ancient times it was in enormous demand. The structure was built from durable stone. Quite often it was buried underground. Its walls were very, very thick. Buildings erected using ancient methods have survived to this day in Bukhara and Tbilisi. Everyone can admire this historical monument. Believe me, it's worth it.

Concept

The dome bathhouse is a structure with a round base and a cone-shaped roof. A variety of raw materials are used for its construction. She is famous for her extravagant appearance. So that you understand, even the most luxurious rectangular or square steam room cannot compare with a modest domed bathhouse.

The appearance of the spherical health resort is not just amazing, but enchanting. But her inherent “zest” is not hidden in her appearance. The beauty of a spherical health resort lies in the uniform heating of the room. In a rectangular or square bathhouse it is necessary to “travel” along the lower and upper shelves, but in a spherical steam room this is not necessary, since the steam goes up, then settles on the dome, and then gradually falls down in the center, after which, touching the stove, it rises again up.

Thus, the velvety steam is constantly in motion, forming a kind of “donut”. True connoisseurs of the bathhouse claim that the sensations from the gentle steam constantly moving are incredible. It seems that a fluffy, soft and affectionate cloud takes every person to a country where harmony reigns. No, those who like to take a steam bath in a spherical bathhouse do not smoke anything before visiting it. It’s just that the domed steam room is indescribably calm and incredibly cozy.

Beautiful examples

This photo shows an elegant floating bathhouse in the middle of a pond. The squat, elongated building is covered with a gable roof made of metal tiles. There is even a semblance of a small terrace for relaxing after bath procedures.

And this is a bathhouse on a pontoon, made like a barrel (as evidenced by the similarity of shapes). Overall, the result was a rather original and, apparently, quite practical solution.

How to build a water bath and what needs to be provided

Sometimes you can come across the most original human solutions, among which, for example, you can highlight a floating bathhouse. For a long time, after bathing procedures, people try to either douse themselves with cold water or jump into a snowdrift. And it is not surprising that a water bath was invented. Actually, how to build a floating bathhouse will be discussed in this article.

General concepts regarding the construction and maintenance of a bathhouse

If you decide to build a water bath, then before you begin work, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of important points:

Reservoirs, as a rule, are federal property, that is, they are subject to environmental legislation. This means that construction must be confirmed by regulatory documents. It is necessary to understand in advance whether the bathhouse needs to be registered. Especially when it comes to the desire to build a bathhouse on a pontoon in areas of nature reserves and seasonal fish spawning. As practice shows, privately obtaining permission to build and further use a water bath will require large financial investments, so most often only companies associated with leisure activities can do this. But, anyway, you need to find out in advance whether permission to build a bathhouse is needed in your particular case. It is also worth considering the fact that after the construction of a bathhouse, the issue of liability for subsequent operation is not closed.

It will be necessary to pay constant attention to the construction, control the node connections and the floating capabilities of the bathhouse. All these nuances indicate the peculiarity of the problems, which requires the owners of such a building to exercise double control so that the soaring process does not turn into an event to rescue people from a sinking vessel. In addition, keep in mind that due to the high danger of the structure itself, the entire list of work must be carried out either by professionals or without their help, but subject to one hundred percent compliance with all rules and safety precautions.

Preparation and design stage

If you have definitely decided that you will build a bathhouse on the water, then you should study the entire construction sequence, strictly adhere to it in the future and carry out the work with maximum efficiency.

First comes the preparatory stage. It determines the type of pontoon, and also makes a drawing of the future structure. It is worth noting that, in fact, the design of a water bath is practically no different from the usual bathhouse. The main thing is to solve the problem of how it will stay afloat.

Often, to solve this problem, they install a pontoon, which comes in three types:

Metal pontoon. It can be manufactured either at any factory or made to special order. This version of the pontoon is considered expensive, and it also requires constant maintenance (cleaning and painting).
Plastic pontoon. This variety has significantly less weight and is also designed for higher loads. In addition, it is worth keeping in mind that such pontoons are manufactured only in factories, so there is no doubt about their quality.
A type of pontoon made of wood. Installed more often than plastic. This is partly due to the fact that in areas with a temperate continental climate, with harsh winters, reservoirs can freeze, which is why the plastic option simply disappears.

Pontoon installation

Once you have decided on the type of pontoon, you can proceed directly to its installation.

The plastic pontoon version just needs to be assembled according to the instructions. Regarding the wooden pontoon, in this case you will need to do a little more work. The main thing in this case is to decide on the material for the manufacture of floating elements. As an option, you can use floating steel barrels.

Construction of a bathhouse

After manufacturing and installing the pontoon, you can begin to build the bathhouse itself

In this case, the list of works will be the same as in the ground version, but it is better to pay attention to materials that have as little mass as possible

This was the last stage in the construction of a bathhouse on the water, that is, the issue can be considered resolved. Naturally, the description presented above is generalized, not entirely detailed, but it is quite possible to put together an overall picture of the basics and main principles of the work.

Production plan

When calculating the profitability of a sauna as a business, special and even priority attention should be paid to the production plan. Let's start with the staff - as we said above, the optimal start would be 2 administrators, who will simultaneously do the work of a cleaner. Their responsibilities may include the following:

Client meeting.
Providing clients with everything they need to visit the sauna/bath.
Familiarization with the rules of conduct in the establishment.
Acceptance of payment for services.
Registering clients by phone, making reservations.
Cleaning the premises, ordering necessary goods and consumables.

Undeniable advantages

The domed steam room has long been famous for its many recognized advantages.

Charming appearance. Spherical structures will become the main decoration of a personal plot, as their appearance is extremely amazing.
Compact sizes. Dome buildings have optimal parameters. They take up minimal space on the site, but are unusually spacious.
Safety. The structures are indescribably reliable. Because of this, they are not capable of harming human health.
Economical. The structure does not require huge investments. It also warms up extremely quickly and retains heat for a very long time, which allows you to save on heating costs.
Relatively simple installation. The process of assembling a dome sauna does not require special construction equipment.
Pre-fabricated. Construction work lasts a maximum of 2–3 months.
Favorable microclimate. Thanks to the constant circulation of steam, the microclimate in the health resort is delightful.
Light weight. The design is lightweight.
High seismic resistance. The spherical structure is not afraid of earthquakes due to the uniform distribution of the load.
Excellent soundproofing properties. In the bathhouse, you can sing at the top of your voice without being embarrassed, since those around you won’t hear anything anyway. In a dome structure, noise is “suppressed” in an incredible way.
Excellent thermal insulation properties. The dome sauna warms up very quickly and cools down very slowly.
Resistance to the crushing effects of environmental factors. The spherical structure is not afraid of attacks from certain factors.
Lack of basis. The bathhouse does not need a foundation. In view of which, again, the savings are obvious.
Functionality. A domed steam room can be used at any time of the year in a particular region. In addition, in the heat there is a welcome coolness in the room.
Variety of projects. There is a colossal number of different designs for spherical steam rooms: from presentable options to modest ones.

Inveterate connoisseurs of hot steam rooms note an unprecedented surge of vitality and delightful emotions after visiting the health resort. By the way, I generally noticed that our ancestors were extremely smart people. Well, we need to build a domed bathhouse! Just awesome!

Risks

A bathhouse as a business has its own risks, just like any other type of business:

Low attendance, which can lead to negative work. But, this can be resolved with a competent marketing strategy.
Lack of clients due to poor quality services - there is no one else to blame but yourself, so do everything in the best way, with care for the client.

All other business troubles can be foreseen and even prevented - the main thing is to correctly calculate the business plan for a sauna or bathhouse, arrange everything correctly and launch advertising. More on the latter later.

Features of the structure

Are you interested in a floating sauna? In this case, make a reservation. Ah-ah-ah! Do you want to have your own “treasure” on the water? I understand. Then start developing the project and do not forget to take into account the features of its construction. What are the features?

An anecdote on the topic: Note for schoolchildren. To get an A in history, you don't have to know all of history. It is enough to know just one thing - about the teacher and the sauna.

Thus, a floating bathhouse is a structure that deserves attention and respect!

Beauty and comfort in the bath, health and youth to all family members and rustling banknotes in your wallet! Bye!

Wisdom Quote: Never bother someone else with something you can do yourself (Leo Tolstoy).

Requirements

Arranging a bathhouse afloat has serious advantages. You will be able to swim directly after the bath procedures. Problems with water supply and sewerage are automatically resolved. However, you will have to take into account constantly high humidity and contact with water, isolation from the outside world.

Important: according to statistics, fires threaten floating bathhouses 28 times less than flooding or other water-related accidents.

You will definitely have to use stoves of a special design - only with gas heating and increased security. It is required to have a supply of fire extinguishers and other means to suppress fire in the floating bathhouse. Only those who understand the use of pontoons should build such a structure. The essential components of a floating sauna are:

fences (to prevent accidental falls into the water);
special floor coverings (that do not slip and do not support combustion);
equipping with life jackets (at least 1 per user);
availability of life preservers.

An exact list of requirements can always be obtained from small boat inspectors.

You cannot build a bathhouse in a conservation area, nature reserve or national park. It is worth considering that all waste water must be disposed of outside protected areas. An alternative solution is the use of high-capacity septic tanks. Otherwise, there are almost no special requirements, and you can be guided by your preferences.

Features of an exclusive floating steam room

Few people do not like outdoor recreation. It’s not for nothing that someone said: “The nerves are calmed by a delicious barbecue, fragrant cognac and your favorite little man, and the body is healed by soft steam and herbal decoction!” I would also add that the body is given good health, in addition to steam and decoction, by a biting broom and cold water.

Therefore, I recommend combining business with pleasure in order to please not only the soul, but also the body. For example, visiting a floating steam room is a great idea! Oh, stop. The peasant is for women, and the young lady is for men.

Concept

A floating bathhouse is a mobile structure erected on special prefabricated berths, for the construction of which pontoons are used. They are easy to assemble and disassemble, which allows the steam room to “travel” along the entire river or lake. In addition to the presence of pontoons, a floating steam room is in many ways similar to an “earth” bathhouse.

Components

Several centuries ago, the bathhouse was a tiny room consisting of one room. It would seem, how can one relax comfortably in such a miniature building? As you know, our forefathers did this very well. “Russian fun”, which both heroes and young ladies enjoyed in the bathhouse, are known throughout the world!

For example, after taking a steam bath, women and men ran naked into the street and dived into a snowdrift or an ice hole. Nowadays, of course, this is also practiced, but only in winter, since finding snow in autumn, spring and summer is problematic, and not everyone has the opportunity to build a bathhouse by the river.

Pool? Font? Barrel? Yah. This is completely different. But, as you know, Russian people are cunning. Not so long ago, wonderful structures appeared - floating baths. You can dive into cold water all year round! One room on the raft was not enough, of course. Today, water baths include the following required premises:

steam room, which has a comfortable shelf;
a terrace with a canopy, on which there is a table, chairs, and a barbecue;
a bathroom with a shower stall, sink, and toilet;
dressing room, which contains a bench, a wardrobe, a shoe stand and hooks for clothes, bags, etc.

In addition, the owners of water baths equip their “treasure”, which, to be honest, brings considerable income, with other premises:

a comfortable and presentable relaxation room with a jacuzzi;
ergonomic and aesthetic diving tower;
luxurious kitchen and fashionable bar;
landscaped sunbathing area.

Of course, if you wish, you can create something exclusive. The main thing is imagination! Don't be lazy. Believe me, you will not regret it, because as a business, a floating sauna is incredibly profitable. After all, the Russian people are greedy for fun.

What else? Safety. It’s difficult to call an “earth” bathhouse safe, and even more so a steam room on water. Therefore, “on board” you need:

durable guardrails designed to prevent accidental falls;
high-quality and charged fire extinguishers;
life jackets and rings;
qualified sober rescuers;
first aid kit.

Before you start manufacturing a particular structure for a bathhouse, you need to consult with highly qualified specialists in order to avoid unpleasant situations.

Financial plan

How much does it cost to open a sauna or bathhouse? The profitability of a sauna as a business can only be calculated if there is a well-developed financial plan. Approximate costs:

Repair of the premises, including redevelopment - 550,000 rubles.
Purchase of equipment – 240,000.
Purchase of furniture - about 70,000.
Purchase of bath accessories – 10,000-15,000.
Equipment – about 50,000 rubles.
Website development – minimum 35,000 rubles.

Thus, you need to budget at least 966,000 rubles for initial expenses.

Further costs include:

Rent of premises including utility bills – about 70,000 rubles.
Advertising expenses (minimum) – 10,000 rubles.
Salary based on 2 administrators – RUB 70,000.

So the amount of monthly expenses will be at least 150,000 rubles.

Don't forget about taxes. The UTII system will be the most profitable - the tax for the quarter is approximately 6,000 rubles, that is, you will need to pay about 2,000 rubles per month, which is, in fact, pennies.

Taking into account all expenses, net profit will be about 87,100 rubles, minus 2,000 taxes - a total of 85,100 rubles.

Let's calculate the profitability: taking into account the pledged 965,800 rubles and the monthly profit, the payback can be achieved no earlier than after a year of stable operation.

Security questions

The greatest danger to a floating sauna is not even fire, as many amateurs claim, but water. According to statistics from floating baths:

85% work safely and serve water recreation enthusiasts;
0.5% burned due to fire safety violations;
14% drowned, were intentionally flooded, or caused a water accident.

For your information! Preventing possible fire problems will not be difficult if you use special safe gas-heated stoves and stock up on fire extinguishing agents.

Problems with the destruction of the structure of a floating bathhouse are much more serious. Usually it is due to lack of experience in building a steam room on pontoons or, as is more often the case, attempts to use a sauna platform, self-propelled or not, in conditions that were not intended for it.

Documentation

The creation of any private enterprise requires the mandatory preparation of all necessary documentation. This is the only way to ensure the legality of your business and avoid unpleasant situations that can cause serious financial damage. It is recommended to collect a package of documents in advance, since this way you will be able to open the establishment at the time strictly established by your plan and avoid additional costs.

To register a business, you will have to contact the local tax service and obtain the status of an individual entrepreneur for sports and recreation organizations. In this case, you will be subject to a tax that must be paid, and you will perform all actions as an officially registered person.

Registration of an individual entrepreneur is usually quite inexpensive, is completed within three days and does not require the mandatory presence of a lawyer. Only after receiving this status can you engage in activities and open your own business.

In the future, you will have to undergo several inspections, which include sanitary-epidemiological and fire inspections. After inspection, they must issue papers confirming full compliance with the requirements, and after that your activity is considered completely safe and permitted.

Note! If your enterprise will be engaged in the sale of food and alcoholic products, you must obtain the appropriate permits. Otherwise, you face a fine and the inability to sell such products.
