The construction of the frame construction of the bath begins with the preparation of the binding base. To do this, pre-treated antiseptic bars 100 * 100 mm are mounted around the perimeter of the building and fasten between themselves with staples and nails.

On top of them, supports are installed from the same beam, which are then tied around the building with boards of 50 * 150 mm. At the same time, the verticality of the installation of supports is necessarily controlled by the construction level.
