This took longer than expected but the instructions and video were very detailed and thorough. Glad i stumbled upon this product and this sauna will be with me for a very long time. Thanks again

Incredibly detailed instructions on the entire build from start to finish! I’ve had my eye on similar saunas but they cost thousands. I’m so happy I found diy sauna, built from ground up solo with no issues.If your in the market for a similar setup, definitely give this a look!

First, these plans and the video are outstanding! So well organized, there was never a moment wheee I was confused. Color coated cut plan, links in the cut plan for purchase, notes, tips, and videos all work together flawlessly. I haven’t used the sauna yet but the build was great and it turned out awesome. Anywhere there are slight flaws, I would attribute to my lack of ability to get things perfectly square…or slightly warped wood from Home Depot! All this AND Joe was highly responsive to all my emails!

I built the XL version and the cost was more of course.

I recently built a garage sauna using these DIY plans, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The instructions are exceptionally clear and beginner-friendly, with detailed step-by-step guidance, accurate cut lists, plenty of helpful photos and video, and measurements, no guesswork or advanced skills required. As someone with just basic tools and average DIY experience, I never felt overwhelmed or out of my depth. The finished sauna is outstanding: it heats up quickly, easily reaches 195–205°F (noticeably hotter and more consistent than any commercial sauna I’ve used), holds temperature beautifully, and delivers fantastic cedar aroma. For the effort and cost, it’s a high-quality, high-performance result that feels like a luxury upgrade—hands down one of the best projects I’ve ever tackled.

Used the XL plan and turned it on the side and then built a new door. But the plans made all of that easy. Love the new sauna in the garage!

Thanks Joe for this DIY project. Learned a lot and enjoyed building this project that saved me $4K. Enjoying my new sauna every night!

Bought the construction plans and all materials needed. The plans were very well done, and easy to follow. I still need to finish painting the outside, and add some final touches.I also added a window to the design for my wife to not feel so claustrophobic. We have been using it since New Year’s. This is a great little sauna box and inspired me to create more of a traditional one on my deck in the future. If you’re a handy person, this is very easy and can be done in a couple of days. I would recommend this for sure.

I tried buying one of those $100 steam tents off Amazon to scratch my “sauna itch” but it just didn’t do the trick. I had already built a cold plunge from some of Joe’s earlier videos so I thought I’d give the sauna a try. The plans and videos were such a huge help that almost nothing went wrong during my build. I even had a few questions about some minor things and Joe always got back to me. This was a fun project but I’m glad that it’s done and my wife and I can enjoy the fruits of my labor!

This was an amazing internet find. I’ve wanted to build a sauna for a long time. Knowing we didn’t have the room in our home for a full size standing sauna. I decided this was perfect, and I knew that if I took my time with the diy sauna kit I could make it look like a piece of furniture in our home. Thanks for the inspiration and of course the easy to follow instructions. It turned out amazing. With the diy heater kit, our sauna has seen 225+. If you have the tools this is the kit! Thanks again, this was a great project

I was tired of going to our overcrowded gym sauna and fighting crowds. Very pleased with this new sauna. Gets to 200F no issue, even during snow storm. The plans were very clear. Joe really took a lot of time to put this together...It is simply following basic instructions. I'm 6ft and did the regular build (not XL) and my feet barley touch the side wall and I fit comfortably. Glad we did this build, in it almost every day now!

This product was extremely easy put together. After I was done, I felt such an accomplishment. I recommend this for anyone who is considering buying a sauna.

Sauna back risk plan was super easy to follow, turned out better than what I expected. Extremely happy with final result.
