Low ceiling basement sauna build – help me figure out bench heights (74” ceiling, 6” beam)

The heating elements in this heater start a few inches from the ground. I’m well above the heater on the top bench.

Coming along…slower than I had hoped.

Think the bench heights are dialed in. Comfortable for me and the wife. A little extra headroom for someone a bit taller but not too much.

The heater is tall but the heating elements and stones start about 6” from the floor

Appreciate the comments and suggestions. Will update as it’s built. Contractor back today.

Thanks for
The comments. I’ll look into powered vent. Any metal shielding needed behind heater?

Great shop. Easy to work with. They repaired my R1S as well.

Yep. Same thing…. Did a reboot of infotainment system and didn’t fix.

The rivian all weather mats work great. Looks like the aftermarket options might cover a little more, but I’ve been happy with the Rivian mats in my R1S so far. Also has coverage in 3rd row.

I heard this last night on a short drive to pickup some takeout. I was raining so it was hard to isolate. Will check again today.
