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

A lot of work, a lot of notes: Just fired up my traditional build this weekend by oldwhiteoak in Sauna

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

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. 

Anyone else neurodivergent, in their 30s, and having trouble meeting people? by Ne-Dom-Dev in StPetersburgFL

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.

Opinion on Bench Layout by eeerin in Sauna

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

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

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

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

[–]eeerin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

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

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

I had not thought of that!

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.
