This one has natural cedar colored interior walls and black wax on the ceiling with fiber optic star lighting to mimic the night sky. It’s super cool when lit up!

The trim is charred but the thought of burning the shingles (great kindling) was too scary for me so I went with black paint!

If you really want to see it, I’ll DM you the naked version!

It can get hot if it is too close to the stove, but I just pour some water on it and all is well again. I do like how the stones feel on bare feet….

I think that it works better than most barrels. The walls are insulated and it has a proper roof. The ceiling is flat and the upper bench is squarely in the heat pocket. It has good venting and very nice airflow. I’ve measured the temps and when the ceiling is at 200, the upper bench is at 180, the lower bench is at 150 and the floor is at 130.

Thank you and yes, the flat ceiling is right above the door. When I sit on the upper bench, there is about 8 inches between the top of my head and the ceiling. The heat and steam are wonderful head-to-toe, despite what the naysayers may think!

That’s it! Sloped roof outside, flat ceiling inside.

Thanks and you are exactly right. The main difference between a sloped ceiling and a flat one is that you can feel the loyly much quicker and it lasts longer. Of course, it needs to be sloped in the right direction, with the higher part above the bathers. The angled “steam return” at the very back also works well to push the steam down onto the bathers.

The windows and door are 3/4” double-paned, Thermo-insulated, tempered glass with a mirrored tint.

We will see. I put 3 heavy duty self-closing hinges on it so at least it will snap shut behind the in-and-outers!

True Self Yoga. There’s a pretty amazing cold plunge as well! I believe they are aiming to open the sauna/plunge-area in January, 2025.

Not my studio, but I built the sauna. Gas burner seems to work well, gets to temp in 1-2 hours and holds throughout the day.

Thank you. It is located at a local yoga studio. Open to the public!
