We build a steam/wet sauna using off the shelf lumber and products found and big box hardware stores – minus the heater.
First, I discuss other pre-made kit saunas and some of the flaws associated with them.
Sauna was constructed over the course of about a week and total materials cost was about $3,000 minus the stove which I donated to the cause. Made of almost entirely western red cedar. Sauna reaches temperatures over 200F. Reaches 160F in 20 minutes.
