DIY mobile bath with material calculations

Mobile bath - a design that will allow you to enjoy a pleasant pastime at a halt. Its arrangement does not require skills in the field of engineering and design work. The first rule is the rejection of the traditional design. The heat source will be a heater. It is collected where a portable bath is planned to be used. For work, you will need to collect firewood and stones. They are laid out in layers, and then fired up. As a result, the cost of the structure is reduced.

Material selection

The assembly of the frame begins with the choice of material. Depending on climatic conditions, use polyethylene or fabric for tents. It is preferable, as it weighs less and lasts longer. The second element is the racks:

• aluminum;
• carbon fiber.

If there is nothing like this at hand, then racks from a regular tent for 4-5 people will do. Do not use wood for the manufacture of racks. Combustible material does not withstand elevated humidity and temperature spikes.

Choosing the right size

When drawing up a building plan, take into account the fact that each has at least 1 m2 of area. For example, a steam room is used by a company of 5 people. It turns out that the building area will be 5m2 + 1/3 of the reserve. The next step is to create an awning. An old tent is suitable for him. It is impossible to use material that has remained from modern tents. The fabric will quickly fail under the influence of humidity and high temperature. The right solution is to use a tarp.

Terms of Use

Water, stones and firewood are 3 essential components. Installation of a mobile bath is carried out near a constant source of firewood. The recommended diameter is 10 cm. Too “thick” firewood burns for a long time, and “thin” ones do not generate a lot of thermal energy.

Before using the mobile steam room, they prepare 1 bucket of large boulders with a rounded shape. If they could not be found near the breakpoint, then pebbles will come to the rescue. Another condition - there should be a pond near the steam room. Near it equip a dam. Vacationers will swim in it.

Furnishing

The longer people plan to steam, the more boulders and firewood will be needed. The next step is direct assembly:

• 1 layer of firewood is laid on flat soil;
• it is covered with a layer of stones;
• They continue to lay out the “layered cake” until the stones run out;
• the top of the “pie” always remains stones.

The collection of the stove is carried out close to the frame. The less time it takes to transfer the hot stones from the furnace to the steam room, the better. To mount oven inside a mobile steam room it is possible in the case when vacationers prefer an extremely high temperature. Skeptics will argue that this option is not justified. The probability of fire increases many times. There is a way out of this situation. You can purchase a ready-made version of the mobile bath in the "DomoTsentr", on that website. It is made with fire protection in mind.

Frame assembly

Near the bonfire, support posts are fixed in a “criss-cross” format. Elements are interconnected using electrical tape or a strong rope. The next stage is the installation of the awning:

• you can start it immediately after the stones have heated up;
• in the middle of the base create a small depression;
• a heat source is laid in it;
• pull the tent.

Its edges are loaded with sand or logs to exclude the destruction of the structure. As a result, the company has a mobile bath. Its life depends on the intensity of the loads.
