Let customers speak for us
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!
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.
The backrest plan was super simple to follow AND it used leftover materials from the DIY Sauna build! All I had to buy was a cedar fence picket. Definitely helps to maximize your sauna experience by allowing more coverage to your back. All other similar options I found online were at least twice the price it cost me to build my own.
Fast friendly service and parts work well
The DIY Sauna plan was very well put together and helped me to plan everything from tools needed to lumber cut sizes. Joe’s walkthrough video was also very helpful with each step of the process. I built this 100% solo, but having an extra set of hands would have been nice. If I can do it, you can too!! Well worth the effort.
Finished up DIY sauna build and have used this a couple times now. I let the sauna pre-heat for 1-1.5 hours, then hop in. After 15 minutes, I'm dripping sweat and ready to get out. It's working great and easy to turn on/off or schedule with the app. I schedule it to kick in from 4:45-6:45am, so it's ready to go after a morning workout or for a session before work.
Well designed plans for building the frame for a DIY cold plunge. My son and I purchased and then cut all the lumber according to the cut sheet and the next day I constructed the frame. It is solid! Great instructions that made the process enjoyable.
Works great. Heats the DIY sauna to 235 degrees in an hour and a half with 2 375 watt bulbs and 2 250 watt bulbs. Good instructions, easy to assemble although getting the tape off is a little tedious.
WORTH EVERY PENNY
There were steps I had never done before, but thanks to the high level of detail, I had complete confidence at every step.
The plans and supplies list saved so many hours and the finished product looks and works great!
THE BEST
Extremely detailed and easy to follow (videos are incredible)! I've sat in the similar version you can buy for 4x the price and there is no difference.
Do yourself a favor – buy the plan and build your own!
