The main thing is comfort

Maximum comfort and the desire to anticipate all desires are the motto of modern industry. Therefore, a bath stand is no longer just a necessary building material, but a useful and convenient little thing, which is sometimes difficult to do without.

How to make steps for a bathroom

My first thought was to buy a stool with steps—the kind that store clerks use to display goods on shelves.
However, in a small bathroom such a bulky item would take up too much space. The decision was made to do something similar on our own. There were no special conditions, so I had to work, so to speak, on my knees. The materials available were: planed board 20 x 100 * 2,100 mm, a sheet of plywood 25 mm thick, self-tapping screws and four metal corners. The tools used were a jigsaw, an electric drill, a hacksaw and a screwdriver.

The basis of the ladder was a side wall made of plywood and a stand made of boards. Side wall dimensions: bottom - 400 mm, height - 500 mm. upper part - 200 mm.

For the steps, grooves are marked in the side wall to a depth of 70 mm. The wall with grooves was cut out with a jigsaw. But it turned out to be quite heavy, so I had to cut several large holes in it, which also made the design of the entire structure more interesting.

Then a stand of the same height as the side wall (500 mm) and two steps were made from the board. As planned, the ladder was supposed to be spiral, and the stand and side wall were to be located at right angles to each other. Therefore, the ends of the steps on one side are sawn off at different angles. On the back of the side wall there is a cutout for fastening the spacer.

First, the steps were attached to the stand using angles and screws. Then the side wall was screwed to the steps with self-tapping screws, followed by the upper platform and the spacer at the back. The structure has become rigid and durable.

To give the ladder greater stability, a leg is screwed to the stand. Then the fastening points were puttied, the ladder was painted (maybe not a very good color, but whatever happened to be at hand) and was ready for use.

The first check showed that the ladder was sliding on the bathroom floor; this was eliminated by gluing pieces of rubber to the legs.

Further tests of the ladder were successful - the baby immediately understood the principle of its use and quickly climbed into the bath.

Characteristics

There are many options for round baths, each of which has its own characteristics, ranging from size to internal arrangement. Thus, after going through all the possible options, you can choose your “ideal” barrel sauna.

The smallest bathhouse, located horizontally, is 2 meters long. Its design implies the presence of 1-2 rooms. You can undress here at the entrance if the bathhouse has a porch with a canopy. The weight of such a building is about 1.5 tons.

The largest barrels reach a little over 6 meters. There can already be up to 3 rooms: a dressing room (with a well-thought-out resting place, a table, clothes hangers, benches), a wash room (with a shower or water containers), a steam room (with comfortable benches and loungers); or in the case of a sauna, the washing room can become a relaxation room. On average, the length of each room will be 1-2 meters.

Classic round baths can be of the following sizes - up to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 meters in length, about 2 meters in diameter (1.95 m is the internal diameter). Quad and oval baths may have slightly different parameters: 4x4, 3x6. Almost any bathhouse can accommodate comfortable sun loungers with a width of 500 mm.

In two-meter baths there is only one room. In the three- to four-meter ones there are already two – a small locker room and a steam room. The largest ones have space for three rooms.

As for height, even tall people can take a steam bath in this type of baths. The ceiling height is more than 2 meters.

The classic shape of a barrel bath is a circle, or rather a cylinder, located horizontally.

Less common are oval, square or rectangle shapes with rounded corners. In addition, there are options for baths with a semicircular top and rectangular bottom.

The entrance to both oval and quad baths can be from the front or the side. The entrance can be framed by a canopy or equipped with a gazebo. And the barrel sauna can be additionally enclosed in the frame of a gable roof.

Double-rounded baths have a rectangular outline. Vertical barrel baths are most often round-shaped buildings, less often oval or rectangular with rounded corners.

The main performance characteristics of a bathhouse depend on the materials from which it is made. The bathhouse is built from wood, or rather, specially processed profiled timber with a moongroove or tongue-and-groove fastening. The following types of wood are usually used for construction:

• Oak is a very high-quality material that becomes even stronger when exposed to water. It has excellent properties and can serve for many years. It has a beautiful structure, but is very expensive.
• Linden is an excellent material for a bathhouse. Known for its medicinal properties. Unfortunately, poorly treated wood of this species is easily susceptible to rotting and other negative effects.
• Aspen is an analogue of linden. With its help you can also create a favorable microclimate. But unlike linden, it is more resistant to harmful effects.

• Larch is a material that does not rot, and therefore will last a very long time. True, the price for round timber of this breed is quite high.
• Cedar is the only conifer that is highly recommended as a building material. It can also be used to create a healing microclimate. It has a beautiful unique structure. It has one drawback - it is quite expensive.
• Spruce, pine and other conifers are not recommended as building materials for baths. This is due to the fact that when exposed to high temperatures, wood is capable of releasing resins, which can cause burns. However, this effect only occurs from temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. Moreover, if such wood has undergone good chamber drying, then this process is minimal.
• Alder and birch are not suitable for building a barrel sauna, as they get very hot.

It is worth noting that it is possible to use several tree species in construction. For example, the floor is larch, the top is linden, and the trim is aspen. This solution will help save a little on construction.

In addition to wooden elements, you will need ties, which are made from iron tape (strip), or steel hoops. Of course, metal corners, screws and other fasteners will be needed.

Beautiful stand in the bathroom for children

Every family with children sooner or later faces the same problem: How to teach a child to use the toilet after using the potty? This period occurs at the age of 3-5 years, and sometimes a little earlier. To begin with, as a rule, you purchase a special children's circle, which is attached to the toilet. But the child is not able to reach it? In this case, smart parents usually leave a small chair in the bathroom. We bring to your attention an alternative in the form of a stand, with the help of which a child can easily reach the toilet. Making it will not take you much time.

Necessary materials • Boards (pallets are possible) • Saw • Jointer • Wood glue • Screwdriver • Self-tapping screws • Electric plane • Wide board (1 piece) • Jigsaw • Varnish

Select boards of the same size.

It is necessary to use an electric planer to make the surface of the boards very smooth so that the child does not get hurt. This will make them the same thickness.

To join the seams, the boards should be processed with a jointer, especially if pallets are used.

Then you need to coat the side parts of the boards with special wood glue and connect them into one large surface. Divide the remaining boards in half and glue them together. Their length should correspond to the width of the surface. These will be the legs for the stand. Connect the entire structure using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws.

Construction technology

When working with a podium, it is better to contact a specialist who will help you take all the necessary measurements and build a reliable structure that will serve for many years. If you decide to build the podium yourself, you must follow the production technology.

Next, you need to cut a semicircle in the middle of the wide board (at your discretion). This is done solely for beauty.

Measure the length and width of the toilet. The stand should be up to the middle of the toilet. Using a jigsaw, cut a rectangle at the back of the stand according to these dimensions. For convenience and beauty, round the corners.

All surfaces must be varnished.

Materials for making seats

Having decided to build such a structure at the dacha, you need to decide on the following questions:

• What materials should I use to make a toilet seat in a country house?
• What shape should it be?

Folding toilet seat with a plastic seat The construction of these structures can be made of several types of material. Based on your preferences and financial capabilities, you can make them yourself from the following materials:

• Styrofoam. Lining for toilet construction
• Cink Steel.
• Plastic.
• Wooden boards.
• Lining.
• Moisture resistant plywood.

Most summer residents prefer pure wood. This choice is not accidental, since wood has such properties as strength, comfort and practicality.

DIY country toilet

Moisture-resistant plywood is suitable for interior decoration of the toilet, as well as for covering the toilet seat

Plastic structures are easy to maintain during operation, and due to their low weight they are easy to install. But as far as impact resistance is concerned, here they are inferior to structures made from other materials. Poor resistance to mechanical stress leads to the formation of cracks and scratches.

As for moisture-resistant plywood, its use is justified by the following properties:

• High strength.
• Affordable price.
• Easy installation.

The installation of a structure made of moisture-resistant plywood occurs with the use of rubber pads, which prevent the cover from moving during operation, since the pads are attached to the base of the seat.

Galvanized steel seat

A high chair made of galvanized steel is considered the most affordable option, but it has several big advantages:

• Low costs.
• Strength.
• Flexibility.
• Long service life.
• Easy installation.

The remaining materials, foam plastic and lining, are used to cover the wooden frame of the podium.

Covering the toilet with clapboard

The shape of the podium can be rectangular or angular. This criterion is selected based on the preferences of the dacha owner or the size of the toilet.

Tips for choosing

At first glance, most baby bath stands are similar to each other. When purchasing this design, it is sometimes difficult to determine the fundamental differences.

In order to choose the necessary stand and not make a mistake in this matter, you need to focus on the following points:

1. the thickness of the metal supports, as it affects the reliability and strength of the structure;
2. the possibility of height adjustment; if this option is available, you should check that all latches are firmly fixed;
3. the presence of rubber tips on the legs;
4. availability of necessary additional functions.

Hammock for bathing a newborn: necessity or excess?

When the baby has to be bathed for the first time after birth, parents are very worried. In order for the baby to relax and receive positive emotions from meeting the water, you should prepare not only a bath, but also other necessary accessories. Previously, the hands of a father or grandmother served to support the baby: according to tradition, bathing a newborn was carried out together. Now the process is facilitated by special supporting devices - inflatable, filled with polystyrene balls, fabric or plastic. Many parents prefer hanging hammocks for bathing their baby in the first months after birth. To determine whether you need to buy such a device, you should familiarize yourself with it in detail.

A mesh or fabric bathing device is stretched over the bath like a hammock and attached to its side walls using hooks and elastic. There are models in which the canvas is stretched over a metal arc and placed in the bath like a regular slide. The fabric allows water to pass through well and at the same time serves as a support for the baby.

Most mothers positively evaluate the presence of soft inserts for the baby's head and bottom. Parents also welcome sufficient physical activity of a newborn in a hammock. Sometimes disappointment in the product occurs if the child is too high above the water or, conversely, slides off the base. The reasons for this are the incorrectly selected size of the hammock - it must correspond to the dimensions of the bathtub and the weight of the child.

Some parents say that there is no need for such devices, and the child should be accustomed to a large bath as early as possible. We can agree with this if the mother is familiar with the techniques of teaching a child to swim or a qualified trainer is engaged in this. Most parents find a bathing hammock essential for the first few months. Thanks to it, the bather’s hands are freed up for massage, adding water or herbal decoction, soaping and preparing the towel.

Shopping

So, you are convinced that you need a children’s toilet seat cover and have even read the recommendations for choosing them. Now, finally, we can go to the store.

Next, I will give you a few examples that you may encounter during your shopping process:

Reinforced frame

The bathtub becomes heavier after installing additional accessories. Such a bowl requires a reinforced frame. It is represented by a metal platform. Therefore, the metal of manufacture, its thickness, and the presence of treatment with anti-corrosion compounds are very important.

Tip: When buying a bathtub, focus on the frame. If it is designed with a lot of support points for the bowl, then this indicates that it is flimsy. For durable acrylic, it is enough to have support points in the corners.

Bath steps/handrail

I want to buy the right bath fixture for my little old mother-in-law: otherwise it’s difficult to get in, God forbid, it gets stuck in there - well, that’s understandable.

If anyone has encountered such a problem and has experience, please tell me and share your thoughts.

An example picture (not a fact that it should look exactly like this) is below. I saw an even more monumental structure: handrail + steps, but I can’t find anything.

I may be off topic, but maybe you should consider converting your bathtub into a shower?

expand thread 3 4 years ago You will have to stand in the shower while you wash, but for old people it is advisable to sit down. In the future, my wife may have to wash my grandmother - it’s completely inconvenient in the shower. When my grandfather was alive, his aunt washed him like this: she had a tray in the bathroom (a flat, square one, like in old showers), so she put a chair in it, on which she sat my grandfather and poured water from the shower head. Naturally, then the entire bathroom is covered in water. But I can’t imagine how to wash someone in a shower stall. expand thread 1 4 years ago Then you can put a chair in the shower.

Agree. These steps won't last long. Shower cabin and any comfortable seat. A bath for the elderly is dangerous; no amount of grab bars will help.

@habazlam, look towards sitz bathtubs/showers. I understand that steps and handrails are more expensive, but all these devices successfully slide on tiles, break out of walls, and so on. I dealt with sitz baths in a modern home for the elderly, you can’t imagine how convenient it is. There are very expensive options, and there are cheap ones. Their main advantages: a low side at the entry point and a built-in seat. All kinds of chairs also like to roll around in the bathtub, so you need a built-in one.

And you would attach the large door handles to the wall in the right places - intelligently and reliably. You can probably come up with something with steps, too.

In the TV store at one time there was this kind of crap on suction cups, similar to how they carry double-glazed windows, but it didn’t impress me because it sticks to the tile, which in itself is not a standard of reliability.

How can “a person sit on it, then cross his legs and then pull himself into the bathroom with his hands”?! Who is this about? About the gymnast? An elderly person, for example with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, is not a gymnast. Believe me, I went through this while caring for my parents. All these adaptations until the moment when they tell you “I can’t” and your back tells you I can’t lift it. Then the understanding will begin that all these handrails are beautiful only in the photo and may be suitable for disabled people who received them due to injuries, and not age-related diseases.

The human psyche is very flexible. The advantage of this feature is that you can get used to everything bad. The downside is that good things get boring too.

Liliya Prokofyevna Smirnova served in the police for forty years and now enjoyed a well-deserved rest. But after several months of doing nothing, I even got tired of the TV my son-in-law bought. There wasn't much to do around the house. And the area was planted with lawn. However, even he did not need to be looked after. Everything was done by automatic waterers.

In her dreams, instead of a lawn and a playground, strawberries or potatoes should have grown there. Or something that requires a lot of fuss. And of course, the daughter and grandchildren must work there, and most importantly, the hated son-in-law. And she, as a mistress, would lead them.

You can also get a cat or dog and lead them. But this is not a full-fledged relationship. And in general, expensive. After all, these parasites also need to be fed.

Alternatively, you can have a husband. These, according to rumors, are not so gluttonous. But at her age and with her character, marriage is very difficult. Good, obedient men have long been taken away, and she doesn’t need the rest for nothing.

A goat and a cow would make good pets. It looks like fresh milk for the grandchildren. And you can call your son-in-law to make hay. But he cleverly worked ahead and agreed with his neighbor about fresh milk. And with another neighbor, such a scoundrel, about chicken eggs. So the chickens were no longer needed.

So the unhappy woman suffered. I walked around other courtyards and looked with envy at how the women there gave instructions to their men. And others command strangers. They find local drunks. They are willing to work for three for a bottle of moonshine. Who will chop the wood for the bathhouse, who will repair the barn, who will repair the roof.

Moonshine was generally the second currency in the village. All prices in the mind were automatically recalculated not into dollars, but into liters. But such a number would not have worked with her son-in-law: this scoundrel was a teetotaler. And he entrusted any work, whether necessary or not, to contractors. And not locals, who can be lured away with half a liter, but visitors. Which are only for money. And Liliya Prokofyevna is not a decree for such people.

In the absence of parents, you can give instructions to your grandchildren. But they, with their cunning, took after their father, and with their love of life, took after their mother, and managed to turn any task into a game. Need to paint a fence? There are no questions: they will race. Until the fence gets a three-layer coat of paint in the best traditions of Tom Sawyer. Wash the windows? Good game. And you can blow soap bubbles.

Of course, this attitude categorically did not suit the grandmother. You have to work through “I don’t want to,” or even better through “I have immense respect for the wise Liliya Prokofyevna.” And it turns out that the children don’t even work, since they like it. And since this is not work, but entertainment, then she is not the main one, but just a nanny.

“Under the communists, this would not have happened,” the woman complained to her friend about her “difficult” old age,” “Then I would have quickly reined in my son-in-law along the party line.”

- What is this for? — the friend asked phlegmatically, husking the seeds.

- How is this for what? “Hired workers for money” is almost a done deal for the OBHSS. Then, this damn lawn. Bourgeois, after all. And most importantly, inappropriate use of the land. The land is for a vegetable garden, right?

“And he put a carousel on it.” Again, do you have permission for the playground? No. Are other children walking? Walk. What if he makes money from this?

- Cunning. What if they imprisoned him?

- So this... I would do everything carefully. I would go to the party organizer. We would have sat together, had some tea, and he would have reprimanded or reprimanded Seryozha at the next party meeting. And then he explained where he was wrong. Do you know what they said then? “If there was a person, there would be an article.”

- Yes... now there is no party, and even such crimes. Now other sins are in fashion.

- Exactly! We need to catch him on something. And then he will definitely become more accommodating.

Liliya Prokofyevna began to collect dirt on her hated son-in-law. At first I went along the beaten path. I wanted to know if he had a stash from his wife? As it turned out, they had one common account for two cards. And all expenses are recorded.

Then I followed him around the city. I wanted to catch him with my mistress. But in vain. Either the son-in-law had developed a rare talent: getting lost in the crowd, or Liliya Prokofievna’s skills were not enough.

I had to raise my police connections. Former colleagues who are still alive are also not comfortable in retirement. And here is such a case. And you can help a woman, and get a little money, and it’s a familiar activity.

Now a whole brigade of old men began to follow Sergei on his heels. Where he goes, there they go. Not every local doctor has such a long honorary escort of pensioners. And the guy doesn't even know. I put on my iPhone headphones and stared and disappeared from the world around me. The surveillance lasted two weeks, but to no avail. Not only did the son-in-law never go to see his mistress, but with his fast walking he almost gave two elderly detectives a heart attack. And the third, while watching Sergei, accidentally caught his wife in the arms of a neighbor.

That is, there is not just no result, it is negative.

“And I also excused him from getting a fine,” cried the cuckold to Liliya Prokofyevna, “That’s gratitude.” And now what? Divorce? Should we exchange our one-room apartment for rooms in communal apartments?

- Well, well, Yegorych. Why immediately a communal apartment? I have another idea.

- Which? Pin some capercaillie on the bastard?

- Not a bad plan. But that will have to wait. In the meantime... how about a bath?

- Yeah. I have an excellent bathhouse. True, the wood has run out...

- Nothing. I'll chop it.

- And the stove is acting up...

- We'll do everything. Just tell me.

- That's good. That's good. — the woman smiled, and thought to herself:

“Even if he has nowhere to go, he will obey like a darling. It’s not that this Seryoga is dissolute. What kind of guy is this who doesn’t even have a mistress?

No, the youth of today are not the same. ”

If not, but you had the patience to read to here, then. you know. A couple more (censored) words about the shortcomings and shortcomings. )

Subtleties of acquisition

It doesn't matter what type of pad you want to buy.

In any case, you should adhere to a set of general recommendations if you want to purchase a high-quality and functional model:

1. It is better that the contact of the baby with the elements of the adult toilet is eliminated as much as possible by the nozzle. A child’s body is much more susceptible to diseases of various kinds that can be transmitted through the use of a shared bathroom;

Such a children's ladder for the toilet will allow the child not to touch the “adult” elements even with his hands

1. The presence of rubber inserts on the base ensures that the pad will not move around the bowl. In this case, the baby will not fall from the “throne” and will not miss in the process of coping with natural needs;

Rubber has much better grip

1. Carefully inspect the entire surface of the product for cracks and other defects. Do not forget that the most delicate parts of your child will come into contact with it;

I recommend choosing a sample in which the number of cracks is generally reduced to a minimum. This will make it much easier to clean in the future.

1. The strength of the product plays a big role. There is a misconception that semi-rigid pads are best. But that's not true. The durability of such samples leaves much to be desired. Hard linings are much more practical;
2. Make sure that the surface of the nozzle is treated with antibacterial agents. Caring for a child’s health is never unnecessary;
3. Before you go to the store, measure your toilet so as not to buy a too small or even, on the contrary, large lining.

Here's what can happen if you don't know the size of your toilet bowl

1. Pay more attention to the functionality of the console, and not to its appearance. All decorative elements can not only simply interfere with the child’s use of the product, but are also sometimes made from not the most environmentally friendly materials. And their price is unreasonably high.

Simple doesn't mean bad

The instructions for using baby pads are incredibly simple, but this does not mean that the child can be “abandoned” from the first days. Dedicate some of your own time to learning what you think are simple truths, and in the future the baby will cope with his natural needs without fear or your help.

Homemade seat pad for a bathtub made from a wooden board

Every person strives for comfort, and this is not surprising. In a modern apartment, the bathroom exists not only for hygiene procedures, but also for relieving fatigue. Places to relax. Various accessories help us with this.

Content

One of them is a bathtub seat cover

Hardware stores have a large selection of similar products, but they are not cheap. But you can easily make such a necessary accessory yourself.

What will you need for this?

1. Board, preferably not coniferous.
2. Hacksaw.
3. Screwdriver, set of screws.
4. Sandpaper.
5. Tape measure, pencil.
6. Paint, varnish, brush.

First of all, we take the dimensions of the bathtub itself. We measure the width. Based on the results obtained, we mark and saw off the board so that it lies on the bathtub and does not fall into it.

Please note that we recommend choosing an aspen board. Since this wood almost does not rot and does not turn black over time from moisture. Oak or beech are also suitable.

To prevent the seat from slipping during operation and you falling somewhere, stops should be made. To do this, we cut out two pieces from the timber that are long and equal to the width of the board.

Next, we fasten them with self-tapping screws on the back side of our workpiece. You need to secure it thoroughly, because your safety depends on it.

The screws should be slightly recessed so as not to injure yourself later on them during the operation of the bench. To do this, you need to make small holes in the bars, after which they can be masked with wooden caps.

The stops on the board must be positioned so that when installing the seat, they go into the inside of the bathtub and rest tightly against its sides.

At the next stage, the resulting product must be sanded well with sandpaper. This process should be approached especially carefully. Since you will sit on it with your naked body.

To protect the seat from moisture and give it a more noble appearance, the product must be coated with oil or polyurethane varnish. You can also use paint that matches your interior color.

It is important to note that when performing painting work it is necessary to use safety glasses, a respirator, gloves and other personal protective equipment.

As you can see, making a bathtub seat pad is not a difficult task and can be done by anyone, even an unprepared person.

The main advantages of such a seat are the ease of manufacture and the availability of the materials used. Plus, it will help you save money. And thanks to the wood from which it is made, you will receive an environmentally friendly product.

Another advantage of this design is its versatility. The craft can be used not only as a seat, but also as a small table, for refreshing drinks or as a laptop stand.

You can also place a basin on it for hand washing. Placing it on the bottom of the bathtub will allow you to shower without fear of slipping.

Manufacturing instructions

Making a layout

The dimensions of this chair were copied from another similar one. Its legs are located at an angle of 5?, its dimensions are: length - 500 mm, width - 300 mm, height - 230 mm. There is a U-shaped cutout on the top. This way you can store the chair under the toilet when not in use.

Gluing

In total you will get 4 parts: a base, 2 legs and a crossbar between the legs. Now you need to glue all the elements. The glue is first applied to the base and legs. After they are glued, glue the crossbar. You can also use bolts to fasten parts together.

After gluing the chair, it must be tightly compressed using clamps.

Finishing

Once all the glue has dried, all wood cracks must be sealed with putty. Then, when everything is dry, you need to sand the entire surface. It will become smooth and easier to clean.

Then it is necessary to coat the wood with varnish; some apply several layers of oil to the surface.

The toilet chair is ready. Now you can use it.

Plastic bottles are made in factories. They are quite hygienic. For our stairs you will need:

• 8 identical plastic bottles.
• Screwdriver.
• Nuts.
• Self-tapping screws.

The essence of the craft is simple. Using scissors, cut notches at the ends. They are attached to one another using self-tapping screws. Each side is made from three bottles. Remember that they are the same width. In order for one to attach to the other, you will need to cut them to the part where the expansion or contraction begins. The type of “beams”, in the end, should be standard.

No need to take big screws! They will need to be secured on one side with nuts.

We do not recommend using tape. It will be unreliable and ugly. Although, if you have learned how to cut it beautifully, you can take a risk. It is important to understand: towels will hang on this product, and they can be heavy. Will the tape withstand such a load?

We also need to remind you about the horizontal “beams”. They are attached to the vertical ones. You will need to carefully make the holes. Many people make horizontal “beams” longer, but this option is quite complicated. Think about whether it suits you, or whether the standard option is better. The difficulty is that the bottles will hold worse horizontally; you will have to think better about their grip.

Find a solid base and attach the ladder. Many people leave the “portable” option, because this is a means for storing towels, and they must be dried according to the rules. It is better to make a ladder that will serve specifically for hanging. Many are completely limited to one “vertical” beam to make it more convenient to hang towels on the side.

Ladder or shelf

Is it possible to use such a support permanently? It's your decision. Find several options and analyze them. It is important to understand: the appearance of the bottle product is very unusual. You will need to understand whether the product will be appropriate in the bathroom. perhaps it is better to choose something easier to implement; this is also your option, which you will have to endure for quite a long time.

Why shouldn't you use glue? It can be used. but then you shouldn’t be surprised if white marks remain on the plastic at the closure points. In fact, glue will do, but the bathroom is a room with high humidity, and this also matters.

Action plan:

• 1. Marking boards;
• 2. Sawing boards to the required lengths, rounding the edges;
• 3. Assembling the boards together using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws.

Marking. Before starting marking, it is necessary to correctly “lay” all the sizes of small boards into a large board so that there are as few scraps as possible, or better yet, no scraps at all. Having estimated on paper and a calculator, this is what happened:

• 1) marking board No. 1: 620 + 500 + 395*2 + 90 = 2000 mm or 2 m;
• 2) marking board No. 2: 620 + 500 + 395*2 + 90 = 2000 mm or 2 m;
• 3) marking board No. 3: 395 + 360*2 + 185*2 + 435 = 1920 mm or 1.92 m.

As we can see, there will be no extra trimmings at all, which is good. We take a tape measure and a pencil in our hands, and mark each board according to the list above. At the same time, make the markings from the edge, starting with a shorter length and ending with a larger one, i.e.: 90, 395, 395, 500, 620 mm. Then it will be easier to saw off. Sawing. Everything is simple here, take a jigsaw, a couple of stools or chairs, put a board on them and slowly saw off the boards to the required length. At this stage, the most important thing is to ensure that the cut is even and without bevels. Also, after sawing into the required components, we round off the ends of the boards, it should look like in the pictures.

Figure 4 – right side part, Figure 5 – left, Figure 6 – steps, Figure 7 – lower and second longitudinal guides. The guides will perform two important functions: they fasten all the side boards together, and the steps are attached to them. The bottom guide has a third function: it will prevent our stand from turning over when the child climbs onto the topmost step. Next you need to apply a second marking to attach the steps. The final part is assembly. At this stage, act very carefully, the rule applies here: “measure twice, cut once.” Take your time and screw the boards together. As soon as you are going to screw in a new self-tapping screw, always look to see if any edge has “gone away”. Don’t forget to sand the boards where you cut them, the safety of children comes first, we don’t need splinters. The result should be such a cute stand for a child.

Board in the bathroom for a baby bath

How to make a bathtub stand with your own hands

1. To make the shelf, four planed boards with a cross-section of 100x20mm, lengths of 650mm (two boards) and 570mm (two end boards), as well as tension bars 450mm long were required. Boards must be selected without knots and cracks that reduce strength. The work was carried out in the bathroom itself, which made it possible to cut and assemble the shelf in less than 1 hour.

2. The design must be reliable and durable. The main weight of the water bath will be taken on two composite supports connected to each other by two bars. Two boards 650mm long are placed flat on the bathtub and a baby bathtub is placed on top for fitting; the boards must be installed 50mm from the edges of the bathtub. We remove the bath and mark the position of the boards.

4. Install the supports on the bathtub. We place an empty bath on top and, according to the selected position, mark the attachment points for the bars that tighten the supports. We also drill holes in the bars for fastening. The position of the bars should not be parallel; this will ensure the rigidity of the structure during storage and installation in the bathroom. The assembled shelf stands rigidly in the bathroom and does not allow the bath itself to move on the shelf.

5. Since the child is growing, long-term use of the shelf is not required; therefore, painting and protection from moisture of the homemade structure were not carried out.

Features of using the podium

Help: A podium is a section of the floor that rises above the rest of the level. As a rule, such structures are designed to divide the room into functional areas. Thus, it is possible to zone the bathroom in a horizontal plane.

However, the functions of the devices do not end there. The podium in the bathroom can be divided into two types:

Toilet stands: what are they and why are they needed?

Some people have no idea why special toilet stands are needed, especially if we are talking about adults and not children. The most popular options, of course, are children's products, but adult coasters are no exception. Why such household products are needed, what types they come in, and how to use them correctly will be discussed in this article.

What are they?

According to many medical experts, toilet seats are not the most expensive, but at the same time high-quality way to take care of your own health at home.

As a rule, everyone is accustomed to the fact that toilet stands are made exclusively for the convenience of toddlers and older children. But recently, footrests for adults are also gaining momentum in popularity. Doctors believe that even with the help of an ordinary stand made of plastic or wood, you can use the toilet more physiologically and comfortably. In addition, when a person's knees are raised thanks to a special footrest, the load is removed from the abdominal muscles. Using this approach, proper and normal bowel function is activated.

For even greater convenience and benefit, many toilet products are equipped with special small foot massagers.

For children, plastic stands are necessary to make it easier for them to climb onto the toilet and sit on it more comfortably. Products of this type may have different names, but their functions are often similar and do not differ in any way.

Varieties

Today's market for children's products offers a lot of different toilet stands for kids of all ages. Such products will help parents teach their child to perform independent hygiene procedures even in their absence. They are mainly made of high-strength plastic, which is very easy to care for, and this material is non-slip, which fully complies with all safety measures.

Universal stands can be used by children not only for toilets, but also for washbasins.

Children's stands can be one- or two-stage. They should be selected according to the age of the child and the height of the toilet.

Toilet stands with 2-in-1 pads are considered more universal. Such products can look very funny. The baby will definitely like them. Such products can be made in different colors. You can find them for both girls and boys.

Stands for adults are often presented in stores in a slightly smaller assortment. The most popular options are those with one step.

It is not uncommon for toilet seats and covers to be purchased by people after relevant operations (for example, on the hip joint). Such products can most often be found only in pharmacies, or you can purchase them to order.

Most often they are chosen only on the recommendations of doctors.

Where to buy?

A large assortment of different stands is presented in various online stores, but often such products are made manually to order or purchased in regular stores with the corresponding goods. Prices for these types of products may vary. Inexpensive options from China can cost about 300-400 rubles, while products from a domestic manufacturer can cost about 1 thousand rubles.

Stands with special locks and massage rollers may be a little more expensive.

This information should be clarified with consultants of the brand where you want to make a purchase.

The most profitable purchases are ready-made kits, which include not only a stand for the toilet, but also a special cover for it.

When choosing a toilet seat cover or a special stand, it is best to try such products by touch to be sure of the quality. Where possible, products should be tested, especially if purchased for children.

steps

Stands with steps are best purchased for children over two years old. The simplest options are considered to be products without handrails, but with them they are considered more comfortable and in demand. Using them, the baby will quickly learn to climb onto the toilet.

Many parents, when they look at toilet ladder designs, think of them as bulky, but in fact, when they are attached to toilets, they look neater. But the main thing is their functionality and convenience. These stands are easy to put on and take down if necessary. These types of stands are compact and very easy to fold.

If you are unsure whether such a product is suitable for your baby, it is best to consult a specialist.

Expert advice

If you do not want to purchase a ready-made footrest for the toilet, then you can easily make it yourself with your own hands. Often the creation of such products is not the most expensive and does not require much time. You can choose plastic or wood as the main material.

Abroad, footrests have long come into use; they are considered must-have items for the toilet, which is why, for the greatest comfort, you should purchase this kind of product only from trusted sellers, and best of all, in specialized stores and pharmacies.

Many people ask the question whether it is possible to do without specialized toilet stands and linings. The answer is quite difficult. The main thing is to remember that such products are created by manufacturers not only to be sold, but also to make the life of every person better and more comfortable. It is better to purchase footrests without seams, since such products are the easiest to care for. Seamless stands collect as little dust as possible, which means they have to be washed less often.

Disposable seats: protect your health

The covers are made from 100% recycled paper or other materials. They are placed on the toilet seat. There are options that are fixed to the surface using fasteners. This toilet seat helps prevent an allergic reaction.

Manufacturers have taken care of the ease of use of the linings, so they produce them in packs that can be placed above the toilet, or in rolls. Using a disposable toilet seat dispenser greatly simplifies the process of removing toilet pads from the holder.

Linings, which are intended for dispensers, are produced in packs of 250 pieces. And those that are used regardless of the holder - in a pack of 10-50 pieces. There are from 50 to 100 pieces in rolls. Seats with automatic replacement covers contain 130-135 pads.

Bath seat: types and nuances of use

Accepting water procedures for people with disabilities can be a challenge. To facilitate this task, they created a bath seat designed for elderly and sick people, and this design is also used for bathing small children.

Recommendations for selection

Strength

The child is active anywhere. Accordingly, it will not be difficult for him to break the fragile toilet seat. To eliminate this, you should choose hard seats that are more durable.

Antibacterial coating

You can protect your child from bacteria by purchasing a toilet seat with an antibacterial coating that does not wear off during washing.

Seat dimensions

The choice of a toilet seat should be based on the age-related physical characteristics of the child. It’s easier to rely on the size of the pot. And the lid should be 5 mm larger so that it can completely cover the seat.

Form

According to psychologists, fancy shapes of toilet seats distract children from the task at hand. Therefore, classic overlays are more often found in recommendations.

Surface

A child's toilet seat cover, whether hard or soft, should be smooth and comfortable. Any chips, scratches and burrs will cause discomfort. And cracks easily become a source of development of biological life, which, as a rule, is unsafe for humans.

Sound accompaniment

Music encourages the child to remain in a static position for a longer period of time. That's why parents buy chairs with sound. But this also has its downside. Far from home there is no such accessory, so going to the toilet in other places may be difficult.

Hammock for bathing a newborn: necessity or excess?

When the baby has to be bathed for the first time after birth, parents are very worried. In order for the baby to relax and receive positive emotions from meeting the water, you should prepare not only a bath, but also other necessary accessories. Previously, the hands of a father or grandmother served to support the baby: according to tradition, bathing a newborn was carried out together. Now the process is facilitated by special supporting devices - inflatable, filled with polystyrene balls, fabric or plastic. Many parents prefer hanging hammocks for bathing their baby in the first months after birth. To determine whether you need to buy such a device, you should familiarize yourself with it in detail.

Is it possible without this?

Of course, you can do without such an accessory for baby hygiene, but at the same time, its presence makes it much easier for the baby to go to the toilet. Every mother knows firsthand that sometimes this everyday process turns into daily torture for both herself and the child. It doesn’t matter what parents decide to buy – a folding seat or a simple pad. The main thing is to choose the right size and anatomical shape that is as comfortable as possible for the baby, and a positive result is guaranteed!
