The roof of such a bath is usually above the porch, forming a canopy. Sometimes the porch, fence walls, and this room is used as a dressing room. If the porch is not fenced, the Finns undressing at home and go to the bath had no clothes, even if it is separate from the house. Log walls of this bath retain heat well, and although the air is constantly filtered through the walls, alternating with a closed-door 7-8 times per hour, the heat stored inside.
