Hello Patrick, nice build. Most likely the vapor barrier (bubble wrap) that you used is not high temp. If it's not high temp, it will evaporate bad fumes that are not good for you. We use special Sauna Thermal Vapor Barrier Foil that can withhold the high temperature. When you nailing the tongue and groove, you start from the bottom with the tongue going up. The reason for that is, if you have any moisture it will drip down, will not stay in the groove. And you should have installed the vent out, so you have more oxygen. Next time you use the sauna try to lay down on the bench and wear the hat to keep your head cool, that way you can stay in the sauna longer without overheating your head. I build saunas for living.

@tjheato914 3 года назад

Do you have any experience or advice on building a barrel sauna from scratch for outdoor use? Hoping to build one for my backyard in Portland OR very soon if I can get the cedar boards, heater and other supplies for ~$3k. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

@josephcuervo4131 3 года назад

Very informative video! Question for BSaunas USA: Is there any point to the bubbles in that wrap? The foil makes sense. In my landlording practice I once had to cook a room (to get rid of bed bugs) with hot air and it warped vinyl blinds and anything plastic and that was probably 180 degrees. So yes the plastic bubble in the wrap may definitely melt - so a regular heat rated foil may do the trick. I saw a video of someone using only 6mil plastic. If the heat gets past the wood then the plastic may melt - so I think foil is a better option.

@patrickoconnell2380 3 года назад

Hey thanks for the concern, i didnt use a vapor barrior(since there isnt really any moisture) just a heat shield and it is rated high temp. I started the toung and grove from the top to have a full and even line at the top were it is visable and put the cut at the bottom of the wall. since it is a dry sauna i wasnt worried about moisture build up. Used it almost daily for a couple months now and havent seen so much a drop of water roll down any of the walls!

Great built Pat. I would add an exhaust fan in the sauna and shave an inch or two from the door downside part for fresh air circulation. It keeps the sauna fresh and helps to avoid a 'suffocating feeling when it is hot'. Even better to put a relay on it and make it circulate every 3 to 5 mins.

I enjoyed the look of your finished sauna. Trying to decide to build an outdoor one in a shed style setup or the basement, and like how this went in the basement, that coupled with my stubbed bathroom I can finished up with a shower, bathroom combo for showering after the sauna close by. I would build mine big enough though in mind of doing hot yoga work as going to classes is so expensive versus knowing the asanas and having your own hot yoga/sauna space. Great work, and now if only I could afford a flat tank/sensory deprivation tank I'd be super happy!

Great idea. We bought a secondhand sauna and put it right next to our gym in the basement. We only use the infrared lamps. Insulation-wise (temp. in the basement...) we don't use the heater for the Finnish sauna. It uses 3 phase current which we don't have and that would mean that the temp won't rise enough.

hey, i saw that you said that the moisture doesn't build up and that's why you don't have a vent, but it's actually not true! the moisture does build up even though there isn't steam inside so i sincerely suggest that you add a vent! it will not only help with the air moisture levels but it will actually also help heating up the sauna evenly through out the room and it makes the experience a lot better!

@kranson8514 2 года назад

As a few have partially mentioned, an air tight taped vapour barrier is vital, lighting fixtures ect, with through venting to framing to prevent sweating mould and spores will come with out doubt. Materials used would ensure their used within their design specifications. Great to do DIY projects to make it affordable but just be sure your not making a far more expensive project down the line that could effect the value of your property. Looks nice though

@ericr5561 Год назад

First video I've watched since I've embarked on my journey to turn one of our small outbuildings into a sauna. Thanks for this! Very detailed. Once thing I wasn't sure of was hardware. Are you using decking screws for the benches? I assume it won't matter much as these mostly stay dry, but I'm hoping to add more of a steam element to ours (adding more water). Also, I think the cedar is going to be the expensive piece for us also. The out building is rather large. Thank you for this video!

With all those synthetic materials, and the amount of heat and humidity in the sauna, do you ever smell the materials or pick up any offgassing? I would suck to be enjoying your new cedar sauna and then start smelling your thermal barrier plastic.

Wood expands and contracts across it's width primarily and thickness. Lengthwise it is so minimal that you can cut the boards tight to the corner. Your expansion room should only be at the base and tops of the walls as well as the ceiling corners that run parallel with the boards.
