Shelves is a wooden flooring on a rectangular frame of timber. The material is carefully prepared for work - subjected to grinding, grind corners, treated with special impregnation. Conditions for the operation of wooden structures in the bath can hardly be called favorable. Timely preventive treatment ensures that the boards increase their service life.
It is recommended to use hardwood for the manufacture of shelves and deck chairs.
The frame is assembled from vertical support pillars and jumper boards. For extra security, the frame is fixed to the wall. On the basis of installed flooring of narrow plates. Leave a small gap between the runoff boards. A suitable step is 1 cm. For natural ventilation between the wall and the shelf, they maintain a gap of 8-10 cm. The flooring can be designed as a composite. This type is quite convenient - the structural elements are easy to disassemble for washing, followed by drying in the street.

The easy way is to take a pencil, a ruler and sketch out a steam room at the right scale on a sheet or graph paper. Mark on the diagram - the location of windows, if any, furnace, doorway. Experts insist: the windows in the steam room - an optional element due to large heat loss and injury.
The sequence of the construction of the simplest bath shelf
The size of the shelves can vary significantly in two different baths. Dimensions directly depend on the total area of the steam room. Convenient consider such sizes.
Calculation of the size of the bath seats, loungers, beds
Decide on the choice of the furnace. If the size of the room allows you to put a brick, stop your choice on it. Such a furnace retains heat for a long time, almost eliminates the possibility of an accidental burn on its surface, therefore, shelves are allowed to be located in close proximity.

The scheme of mounting shelves do it yourself
Use hardwood. Having made a choice, nevertheless, in favor of conifers, buy a bar, harvested in winter and brought from the northern regions of the country. This material is more dense. Fir wood has a beautiful texture, color and no resin pockets, which is not the case with all types of pines. A tree with a sharp aroma, which some species of fir have, will reduce to no the efforts to beautify the steam room. Resin species will create a wonderful “woody” smell in the sauna, which will help to relax. In this case, note that if pine wood has not undergone special treatment (removal of tar), the resin will trickle out under the influence of hot air. When the work on the steam room is finished, better steam the steam room for an hour, scrape the resin from the resin pockets off the shelves. Repeat the action several times.
After the construction of the bathing beds, they need to be impregnated with a protective solution
Aspen - the democratic cost of the material; does not crack when drying; over time it becomes lighter; not afraid of moisture; does not emit pitch. Material deficiencies - low resistance to rotting, darkens with constant contact with water, emits a bitter flavor when heated.
