This was an amazing build, from the framing to the final assembly in the basement. So happy I chose this route. The tutorial was helpful and with a little skill you can line the outside with whatever you want. I used white pine tongue and groove. Thank you Joe!

This thing pumps out the heat. Easy to put together and follow the step by step video. DIY Cold Plunge hit it out of the park again!

This backrest was simple! It is literally as easy as Joe makes it look in the build video.

This sauna is so well designed down to the last board. Videos are easy to follow step by step and the shopping list was perfect down to the last board. Since everything in the cut plan was color coded, I was able to easily modify the XL plan to make it 3 inches wider. Joe even went the distance with this one. Could not be happier with how it turned out.

Instructions were very detailed and well thought out.
Performance was beyond expectations.

The original product ad did make me think this project would be easier that it ended up being haha. Though after just now completing the sauna, I’m very happy with the time I saved with the plans. I tend to overthink things, and demand too much perfection when I do things like this, so a guide and also en entire video to follow helped me to keep pushing along. And after just now completing the basic sauna (yet to add a few extras) I can say I am over the moon with how solid and good this sauna is!

Big caveat, don’t do what I did and cheap out on the tools you’re missing. Especially the saws. I did everything with a circular saw and I spent a lot of extra time mainly sure I was making accurate cuts that I probably added at least a day to my build time. Took me roughly 7-5 hour days. Save yourself the time and headache of inaccurate cuts.

Went together really quickly once the wood frame was built.

I think the only ask I would have was that he didn't have a link to the stainless steel mesh that he talked about in the installation video.

Don’t be afraid to go bigger than the plan, this fits 2-3 people and still gets plenty hot with 4 250w bulbs from Amazon. Joe is super helpful awesome customer service!

We love the sauna at the gym but most of our workouts happen at home. My husband found your product and we decided to go for it. The plans are amazing. They include everything you will need! Easy to follow instructions made this an easy build for someone with building experience. We could not be happier with how this turned out! Our entire family is benefiting from the DIY Sauna!

This is a great product. Easy to use instructions. We got one that we had to sand so that was an extra step we were completely planning on but it didn’t take much additional time. We used the Rudy luxe bulbs and it puts off great heat and a comforting color.

I was pretty thrilled when Joe came out with a plan for a backrest. I've been shopping around for one, and so many of the reviews on the ones you order say that they don't know if they're real cedar or just pine. This was cheap and easy, and I know it's really cedar. I think it took me about an hour to make it. Another DIY win!

This plan is so easy to follow for both the sauna and the heater. It took me working on it off and on over a few weekends to get the XL built. I'm in AZ and 5/4" cedar is not available anywhere, so I had order 2x6 boards, which added a couple hundred dollars to the total, but I'm not complaining. This sauna is pretty sweet! I also wanted temp control, so at Joe's suggestion, I connected a wifi temp controller to the heater and have the temp probe hanging in the sauna. The only downside to this is when it reaches temp, the heater shuts off and you're in the dark until it turns back on. I really don't mind, though. Thrilled with my new sauna, and I really appreciate Joe's help along the way!

Directions were clear to follow and videos definitely helped. Also ordered the heater, and communication on when to expect delivery was top notch. Just finished the build tonight on xl. Couple initial thoughts, I didn’t use the 3” screws on the xl plan. Probably overlooked some step on using 3” vs 2” but all seems stable. I also used a pack less of the cedar sideboards then the plan called for. Granted this meant using true scrap for doubling up the top. I do have a couple of drafty corners and section on the door, may look to add some corner board if feel it impacts use. I went with 4 rubylux bulbs, and after an hour it was around 135 degrees by my IR thermometer. I will look into a dedicated thermometer for the sauna, or switch out to a couple of the 375w bulbs. For the first session I solved this by moving closer to the heater for a couple mins. All in all it was a good sweat.

Clear instructions- came out as advertised!
