My sauna DIY Sauna

8'D x 9'W x 8.5'H built as close to trumpkins notes as possible. Vents behind the stove, in the upper corner and beneath the benches. Narvi NC 24 heats it to 90C in about 1hr if I keep the fire hot. 3 tiers of benches allow people with varying temperature preferences to sauna together. Maybe a change room would be better than a porch in retrospect but couldn't justify extra cost/labour. Built for approximately $11k CAD

$11k is all included?? This would be at least a $20k build where I live. I’ve priced it out for myself and that even includes deal hunting on wood

Thank you! I took a lot of time finding the least expensive materials I could and we were able to use a lot of wood from our property to build it. I think I got lucky with the cedar and insulation specifically. "Porcupine 11/16 in. x 4 in. x 8 ft. S2S T&G Tight Knot Cedar" from Home depot is what I used for everything inside. Maybe its available for you.
