Tips to Build Your Own Sauna

strelldew — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 00:04:25 +0000

It takes careful planning to build a sauna from scratch.

Here’s an overview of the steps:

• buy or design your plans

• find/buy the wood

• accurately measure and cut the wood or have a professional do it for you

• assemble all the pieces, including a heater, bench and door

Choose A Location

Location is an important consideration when building a sauna. It’s the main thing that will influence your sauna design. For example,

• Will you convert an existing room?

• Will it be freestanding?

• Do you want it inside or outside your house?

• Will it be in the city or country?

When the location is chosen, you have to decide what kind of sauna heater you’re going to use.

Depending on your chosen location, you may not have much of a choice.

Choosing A Sauna Heater

Electric sauna heaters are the most popular choice. Obviously, you’ll have to have access to electricity if you want to use one.

If you plan to build a sauna in the country, a wood sauna heater may be your only option.

You can also buy a gas sauna heater, but they are more expensive.

Professional installation will be required and the sauna will need to be ventilated. Gas heaters also require more clearance than an electric heater.

Before making any final decisions, find out what the local building codes are. For example, there may be an ordinance for your community that restricts the use of a wood burning sauna heater.

Sauna Construction

If you want to convert an existing room into a home made sauna, you’ll have to take protective measures against the moisture that’ll come from the sauna. The room will need to be properly insulated and include a vapor barrier to guard against possible damage.

You’ll have to find-and-buy or special order the wood you’re going to use, then you’ll have to carefully measure and cut it (or have a pro handle that part).

Unless you purchase tongue-and-groove lumber, you’ll have to use a special tool to make tongue-and-groove joints in the sides of the wood for strength and tight seals.

Of course you’re also going to need a sauna door. Manufacturers sell them in different shapes and sizes.

You can also buy a bench for your sauna or you can build your own.

Although it is doable, if you’re not skilled with your hands building your own sauna will be no small task.

All About The Finnish Sauna

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 08:46:41 +0000

Saunas first came into existence in Finland, around 2000 years ago. The tradition of the sauna has continued to this day. Currently, Finland has five million citizens, and more than two million saunas. That’s an average of one sauna for every household. Saunas are considered a necessity in Finland, rather than the luxury they are seen as elsewhere in the world. There’s even a sauna in the Finnish Parliament!
The traditional sauna is made of wood, and heated with rocks. Originally, Finnish sauna rocks were heated by wood fires. Then, later, the entire sauna became wood heated, first by an open fire inside the sauna, and then by metal wood stoves. Now, it’s more likely for the sauna rocks to be heated electrically or by gas, though there are still traditional wood heated saunas. Modern sauna heaters allow the sauna to be [...]
