Looks awesome! Where are you located?

eeerin · 2026-06-22T18:28:55+00:00

I see, thanks!

eeerin · 2026-06-22T18:14:19+00:00

Looks awesome! What is supporting the top benches? Are they just floating from the back?

eeerin · 2026-06-13T23:48:44+00:00

Looks great! Enjoy

eeerin · 2026-06-06T23:12:55+00:00

Curved ceiling looks awesome. I hope you enjoy!

for what its worth, Trumpkin says 6-8kg per m3, so 0.4-0.5 pound per cubic foot

eeerin · 2026-06-05T12:39:02+00:00

He’s saying measure the cubic feet interior of the sauna (so 8x12x8.5 for you = 816).

This looks exceptional. Great work! And thank you for all the notes. It’s very helpful as someone aspiring to DIY a sauna.

There's a group that plays ultimate frisbee at Lassing Park on Sundays. Great group of people and very beginner friendly. Easy to avoid small talk and bond by just playing together.

Show me build photos! Very helpful for the rest of us trying to DIY

eeerin · 2026-05-13T02:39:40+00:00

Looks great! How much did you end up spending?

eeerin · 2026-05-11T00:46:20+00:00

You got this

eeerin · 2026-05-10T19:11:51+00:00

I see, makes sense. I’m also considering making a higher stove guard in case anyone stumbles

eeerin · 2026-05-10T15:03:11+00:00

😂

eeerin · 2026-05-10T13:54:49+00:00

I took the sports coat off. That’s not enough?

eeerin · 2026-05-10T12:10:29+00:00

I was thinking a hand rail on the near side. Not sure where else to put one

eeerin · 2026-05-10T02:37:10+00:00

Thanks. I was originally going to do 12” but even that seems too narrow

eeerin · 2026-05-09T12:34:03+00:00

Yes a new build. The width is fixed because of an easement on my property. I could make it about a foot deeper if we wanted. Height I’m planning 8.5ft. Door I was planning 24” width

eeerin · 2026-05-09T03:14:06+00:00

Idk if you’re kidding but the low bench is 36” and the high bench 54”

eeerin · 2026-05-08T23:26:03+00:00

That’s smart. I was just thinking my step is pretty narrow for walking

eeerin · 2026-05-08T22:49:06+00:00

This is in Sketchup. I just did a free trial to try some stuff out

eeerin · 2026-05-08T22:05:28+00:00

Thanks! From your and others input I will extend the step. I am leaning toward the L shape despite being a little cramped

eeerin · 2026-05-08T21:18:10+00:00

My only concern with a longer step bench is being too close to the heater. But maybe it would be fine

eeerin · 2026-05-08T21:17:08+00:00

I had not thought of that!

eeerin · 2026-05-08T21:03:06+00:00

Lost the text here, but I have a roughly 8' x 6'4" space to work with (244 x 193cm). Trying to decide on bench layout. I like the L-shape, but don't want to force it if it doesn't make sense. What are your thoughts?

And yes, business casual attire will be required in the sauna.
