Bathhouse distance to house and boundary — Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan
Keep at least 1 m from the adjacent boundary as for an outbuilding. KZ fire regulations do not set one universal bathhouse-to-house distance within the same homestead plot.
Distances and rules
A bathhouse, sauna or outdoor shower is set back from a dwelling — because of water runoff, humidity and the fact that a stove is a fire source — and a setback from the plot boundary is kept as well. The exact distances depend on the country and the building materials.
