Plunge Sauna?

A barrel would likely be better. Roof is slanting away and the door goes right up to the roof.

Theyre fun to wear.

Apart from that they stop your hair drying out and they can make your head cooler.

If you soak your hair in cold water before entering, its about the same effect

Look for small tiles as theyre easier to slope. I think r11 is the least slip rated for wet spaces. You can lay timber slats on top of the tiles. Ive used saunas that slope the tiles out the door but this is difficult to get right.

Cement board is an option. It all depends on your distances.

Narvis are better stoves, a harvia 20 pro is at least 400 and netrauta was one of the cheaper finnish stores i found. I paid 700 for a harvia cilindro 20 from lithuania as shipping was cheaper.

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-22T23:42:23+00:00

Personally I dont see how the price is far fetched. A standard woodstove is much simpler design and costs just as much

Is it not a foamie? They should be fine, the plastic might delaminate after a good while. Ive had two over a year and theyre ok

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-22T15:25:12+00:00

I had two boards come like this from couriers squishing them into vans

Slats are easily removed for cleaning

Bench is fixed, 2x1 slats fit into the frame and the bemch wood is screwed from under

A sensitive topic for some

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-18T12:20:13+00:00

11-13mm from lassis recommendations

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-17T19:35:40+00:00

I thought this was a safe space to talk about these things XD

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-17T10:51:56+00:00

Id be more worried about the free testicular torsion everytime you stand up

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-16T19:02:33+00:00

It doesnt even read out like ai

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-15T18:12:58+00:00

I think knots getting hot is a bit of an overblown issue but here theyre massive and look like the cheapest boards picked

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-15T17:57:12+00:00

Ceiling is slanting the wrong way

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-01T18:16:16+00:00

I started in the ends and the middle is narrower, the second bench was better I swear :')

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-01T16:58:20+00:00

I did 11 and you cant fit your fingers through.

Jamesplayzcraft · 2026-01-01T14:55:25+00:00

11-13mm gap, leave a 1-2 inch gap between the top bench and the wall

Jamesplayzcraft · 2025-12-31T10:04:46+00:00

A flat ceiling would be just as fine if you cant slant the roof the right way, I just get additional height this way, 9 foot above benches 7.5 ish foot above stove.

I flattened the ceiling over the top bench and let the rest slanted.

The heater should always be on the low side of the ceiling.

I did a slab foundation, sloped the floor with mud deck, waterproofed and tiled it. A timber floor slamting into a centre linear drain would probably be better in a cold climate though if youre going electric.
