In some cases, it is considered advisable to combine a pair of “gazebo and bathhouse” into one complex. This is especially true for owners of small summer cottages, where every square meter is of high value. Therefore, today we will look at the variety of structures that combine a gazebo and a bathhouse under one roof.
There are quite a lot of options for implementing this project. We will dwell on each of them little by little, show photographs, and also describe the main pros and cons of this approach. Towards the end of the publication we will show prices and drawings of finished projects.

Combining a bathhouse and a gazebo: the advantages of such structures for relaxation
The main reason why a sauna with a gazebo is gaining popularity is its ease of use, because relaxing in steam rooms most often involves a long feast and enjoying communication with friends and family. If at the exit from the bathhouse there is a gazebo and a barbecue oven, guests and hosts can freely sit down for a feast without the need to move around the area.
The construction of a gazebo bath on a single foundation, with a common roof, will speed up the construction process and also save money for the owners. If necessary, electricity and water supply are also provided to the gazebo, which increases the level of comfort. You can also equip a gazebo with a swimming pool, where you can relax either after a steam room or just on a hot day.

Owners of small plots will save valuable space, because a single design of a bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof takes up less space than the arrangement of three separate buildings. In addition, the zoning of the territory is simplified, because it is easier to comfortably locate one building than several.
The visual characteristics of the single complex will also please the owners of the site: all buildings are decorated in a common style, the gazebo adjoins the bathhouse harmoniously. A huge selection of finishing materials allows you to stylize the structure to your liking.
During the warm season, a summer kitchen is installed on the territory of the gazebo, and the spacious living room in the bathhouse is used as a room for overnight guests.
The technological feature of a bathhouse with a summer kitchen and barbecue is a high level of humidity, which negatively affects the building. The solution to the problem is professional installation of a ventilation system that will ensure the required level of air exchange in the premises. Connoisseurs of wooden bath complexes fear the fire hazard of the premises, while high-quality impregnation at the construction stage reduces the level of threat to zero.
At the same time, one can be convinced that the gazebo attached to the bathhouse, the photo of which is posted below, looks really harmonious, the structure turns out to be complete.

Finishing work
A bathhouse with a garage requires increased attention in terms of thermal insulation, and it should be taken into account that it is advisable to insulate the premises not only on one side, the inside, but also on the outside. Internal insulation is more important; it retains most of the heat. Insulation can be done with polystyrene foam and mineral wool, as well as any other more modern and efficient materials available on the domestic construction market.
Interior arrangement and decoration of the bath room
The corner part of the building must be carefully sealed or covered with overlays.
When finishing and insulating walls, several layers are obtained:
- Wall (made of timber or brick);
- Waterproofing layer;
- Wood lathing;
- Insulation (for example, mineral wool);
- A layer of vapor barrier (for example, aluminum foil).
After installing all the layers, you can do the final finishing, for example, cover the walls with clapboard or board, having previously calculated the amount of clapboard on a calculator.
How to choose the right construction option
Depending on the method of connecting the bathhouse, gazebo and barbecue area, several standard projects are distinguished.
A bathhouse with a gazebo and barbecue, connected by a covered walkway, is built on a single foundation. This design is spacious, suitable for those who like to receive guests, and also allows you to set up a summer kitchen near the bathhouse complex. This solution is costly, since the rafter system on which the roof rests has different levels and angles of inclination, which complicates the work.

A bathhouse with an open gazebo and barbecue located under one roof is a more affordable and compact option for relaxation. If you glaze the gazebo, you can stay in it not only in summer - this will create a space for relaxation all year round. Externally, this structure resembles a house with a veranda, so it is often used to accommodate guests.

Amateur cooks choose bathhouses with a canopy or an open gazebo, equipped with a full kitchen complex. This option will require a spacious area and large financial investments, so it is only advisable for regular use.

The most popular are complexes united by a gable roof: the design is compact, roomy, aesthetic, and includes not only a recreation room: projects of a bathhouse with a utility unit under one roof are also in demand.

Choosing the location of a bathhouse with a terrace and a stove on the site
Before starting construction of the complex, it is necessary to select its location. Traditionally, summer cottages are divided into residential and economic zones, garden and vegetable garden areas, as well as recreational space, decorated to the taste of the owners.
A bathhouse with a gazebo and barbecue is an object for relaxation and receiving guests, so it is recommended to place it away from the residential and business areas so as not to interfere with the normal flow of life of the owners. For example, the smell of meat cooking in a gazebo can disturb children, and noisy feasts can disrupt a night's rest. The best option is a bathhouse project with a gazebo under one roof, surrounded by a garden and located near the entrance to the site. If the main structure is already ready, you can later place a gazebo near the bathhouse, but at the design stage it will be more logical to combine everything.

Owners of spacious plots of land choose full-fledged kitchen complexes that allow them to prepare delicious meals, and turn a bathhouse with a gazebo and barbecue into a separate guest house. If the size of the plot is modest, it is advisable to pay attention to two-story buildings, where an attic is built above the bathhouse. Such options save a lot of space, while combining a recreation area and an outbuilding.
A corner bathhouse with a gazebo under one roof is a good solution for owners of miniature plots. The gazebo can be located closer to the entrance to the site, allowing guests to move freely without disturbing others.

Various layout options for a bathhouse with a terrace and stove
The main premises of the complex for relaxation are a dressing room, a steam room, a washroom (shower), and a spacious living room (rest area). The layout, size and list of rooms, terrace, as well as the shape of the roof depend on the preferences of the owners.
A common option is an open terrace, adjacent to the dressing room. In the warm season, such complexes are used as summer kitchens; a barbecue oven, flowering plants, and furniture for relaxation are placed in the open area. With the onset of winter, the open area loses its functionality.
A glazed veranda, complementing the design of a bathhouse with a gazebo, is often complemented by a fireplace or stove. The result is not just a bathhouse along with additional space - a full-fledged building is created for recreation, accommodating guests for temporary residence in any season.

Veranda placement options
Creating a bathhouse with a separate veranda is the most affordable and easy-to-build option. In this case, it is necessary to prepare a separate foundation for the construction, as well as make a roof. For the convenience of guests, it is recommended to arrange a path from the bathhouse to the veranda.
Adding a bathhouse with a barbecue area under the same roof as the main room is a more technologically complex, but quick and economical option for creating a recreation complex. Most often, the terrace has a common wall with the bathhouse, as well as a foundation and roof; the construction of both buildings occurs simultaneously.
Dormer windows in the bathhouse
The presence of skylights in a bathhouse is beautiful, expensive and aesthetically pleasing. But, as a rule, windows are not provided in such a structure.
However, lovers of luxury and wealth can easily afford such a building with panoramic windows, which will silently speak about the wealth of the owners.
It will be detrimental for you to install skylights in an old building, so you shouldn’t waste effort, time and money on it. This type of bathhouse is only possible during the construction of a completely new complex, as they say, from scratch.
Rafter system for a bathhouse with a gazebo under an elongated gable roof
The rafter system consists of connections of wooden beams onto which, after construction, the roof (tiles, ondulin, metal profile) will be attached. The optimal roofing option for a bathhouse with a gazebo is a gable roof, which ensures natural drainage of precipitation and is simple and easy to install.

The rafters are made from boards 50 mm wide and up to 150 mm long, which will be connected by crossbars and tie rods made from 50x100 mm boards. The number of boards depends on the dimensions of the finished building, the standard distance between the rafters is 80 cm. The lower part of the rafter system is made up of the Mauerlat - strong boards attached to the upper crowns (upper parts of the walls) of the bathhouse.

The finished rafter system is equipped with sheathing - thin boards on which the roofing material is fixed.
Construction stages
The preparatory stage consists of examining the soil to determine the depth of the foundation. In addition, it is necessary to purchase tools for working with wood and taking measurements.
The choice of materials for work depends on the available budget, climatic conditions and preferences of the owners. Traditionally, a bathhouse with a gazebo and barbecue is built from rounded logs, but there are options made from brick and foam blocks.

The design of the future complex includes the choice of placement of the steam room, wash room, dressing room and living room. In addition, you need to decide on the location of the bathhouse with a veranda: under one roof as an extension to the room or built separately.

After this, the foundation is laid, walls and roofs are erected, communications are connected and finishing work is carried out. Depending on the chosen material, finishing is carried out immediately after completion of construction (buildings made of foam blocks) or after waiting time for “shrinkage” (when using rounded logs).

Foundation for a gazebo-shed made of wood
If the location of the dacha is an area with sandy soil and low groundwater flow, supports in the form of piles or pillars are sufficient for the base of the cabin. They are placed in the corners of the future structure.
For a pile foundation, you can use an asbestos-cement pipe with a diameter of 15 cm. A sand cushion is poured into the prepared holes in the ground and compacted. Then a piece of pipe of the required size is inserted and reinforced with metal pins. Fill the support 1/3 of the length with concrete and lift it slightly so that the solution gets under the base of the pipe, then it will stand firmly.
Technology for installing piles under the foundation
You can insert metal reinforcement or anchor bolts inside to connect to the beam if the project involves a heavier structure. Or make columnar brick columns at the corners of the building. For a dacha with heaving wet soil, you need a strip foundation; it is more reliable.
The easiest way is to install sand concrete blocks as a base. To do this, remove the turf to a depth of about 30 cm and fill it with 15 cm of sand and compact it. Place blocks on top in several rows on top of each other. This method is suitable only for good soils, without excess moisture, and for buildings on a hill. Then they will fully support the weight of a summer house made of timber.
