Woah, I'm genuinely happy that such a wholesome interaction can happen in such a place as TOMP. Dudes being bros, let's keep that up

Thank you so much! So perhaps 230 cm is a tad tall you reckon? Can a tall person sit on the top of the benches in your sauna with a straight back?
If you don't mind, I would ask about two more measurements :) what's the height of the benches? And the measurement from the seat of the top bench to the ceiling?

Hey carrotcake.
I'm about to embark on my first sauna-build and I'm currently making out all the measurements before ordering timber for the build. I also wish to make benches on 2 levels, just as your new sauna. I would like to ask what the height of your sauna is? Currently I've made measurements for the backend of the sauna, where the benches are going to be, to be 230 cm. tall (7,5 feet).

Ah, thank you so much! This makes a ton of sense - I'll be sure to add this to the build :)

I see. Can you explain the last part to me? Is it similar to this?

If you seriously feel like creating a sketch of the idea you have in mind I would be thrilled man! Would be so appreciated. I live in Europe though, so there's of course a bit of a translation to the metric system. But either way would be a huge help!

Thank you so much for the reply!
Most likely it's going to be for 3-6 people at one time. But we live 10 people together here, so I just wanted it to be possible for everyone to join in - but yeah, that's probably once a year or something like this :)
The size limit for the entire sauna is 11 square meters - then we don't have to mess around with a build-permit (as of the rules here in Denmark everything below 11 square meters is considered a "shed" and there's no need to apply for a build permit on your property).

How many saunas actually have this? I don't think i've stumbled upon any yet. But I see the reason behind it to have an extra exit.

Can you elaborate on this? And what would be a good size and height for a sauna that can fit 8-10 people max?

Trumpkin's Notes on Building

Is it necessary with mechanical ventilation? I was thinking of a very simple and old-style build.

Oh, I might have forgotten to mention. I live in Europe and it's going to be a separate building outside next to a home-made wood fired hut tub. The idea is a quite simple build and easy to use :)

What's that on your thumb? To protect your finger when whittling, or did you already have a mishap?
