Great ozone generator. Easy setup and works perfectly with a venturi. I struggled with keeping my plunge sanitized for months and this fixed all of that immediately. Highly recommended.

Awesome product! Straightforward plans, easy to follow, no BS. Will update when I actually build it.

I purchased the sauna plan after building a cold plunge last year. Both plans are very detailed, easy to follow, and include videos. So now I have both a sauna and a plunge for less than what others are selling one for. I have a great shop, but even without one this build can be easily
done with rudimentary tools and woodworking skills. The build is complete, waiting on the preorder heaters to ship.

I’m a hobbyist woodworker. Overall, I’m very happy with this build! I think it’s my most complex woodworking project to date. The materials list was great, the diagrams were clear, and the videos very helpful. Joe was quickly responsive when I emailed him with questions. I had a good time making this, and I’m impressed with the end-product. I’m proud that I built this, and I’m so excited for daily sauna sessions!

A couple things I would do different if I made this again: I would not use dimensional 2x4 and 2x6 fir lumber as it was thicker than the other framing wood that I bought, or I would plane it down to be the same thickness as the other wood. This caused my framing to bulge wherever it was used, and I didn’t realize it would be an issue until it was too late. This made fitting the siding to each panel difficult, and I wound up with some gaps and overhangs in some areas. I installed some trim to go along each edge to hide the imperfections at the seams. The jet black Varithane stain that Joe used wasn’t taking to my siding, so I had to buy black exterior paint instead.

Finding some of the materials was also a little difficult. Nobody had 5/4” cedar planks, and I drove all over to find decent 1x6 clear cedar, and it was pretty expensive at a specialty wood store. Finding the R15 value Rockwool at my Home Depot was pure luck… they don’t carry that anymore, but someone had recently returned one package, and there it was waiting for me.

I don’t think the materials list calls out a 1 ½” hole saw, so I had to go out and buy that right before I needed it. Not everyone has a nail gun, but luckily my friend let me borrow his.

My receipts came out to $1826.86, which is 50% more than the ~ $1200 stated, but I noticed items like the bulbs, cedar TNG, backrest, grommet cover, sauna oil, paint, and some misc supplies and tools were left out of his calculation. Plus things cost more in California. This still costs 1/3 of similar-style commercial infrared saunas. I would definitely recommend this project for someone who is good with tools and building stuff.

My friends are all asking me about my new sauna! It’s attention-getting for sure.

Awesome company and super easy to do!

Great plans and instruction. Project went together very well and works better than advertised. I struggled cutting and attaching the outside panels and would probably use a router and panel cutter bit to get a better fit.

Amazing plans! I have completed Joes cold plunge plans and now have done the sauna!

Super clear plans with instructional videos… highly recommend

Jury is out on if I need it. But it looks cool.

Built an XL for a buddy and then just built a standard for myself. I'm 5'10" 160lbs and the standard is perfect. See the pic - in 70 minutes the temp was up to 240 degrees. For my first time, I let it drop to 190 degrees jumped in 15 minutes it was 210 degrees. I love it. Instructions and videos are outstanding. I'm not going to say you don't have to think for yourself from time to time. Stick to the recommended materials and I would pick them out yourself from home depo. I would say all in all I have about $1200 and 30 hours into the standard. That does include weekend dog distraction, soccer and football on TV and an occasional libation.

This plan will save you a lot of stress. Simple, well explained cuts and instructionsto get you throughthe whole build.I'mso stoked to finish up myprojectand soak right away. Joe is amazing! Personalizing my order and even responding to silly questions I had among my way.

What a great build from start to finish! The inventory list to each step by step print outs with a video to help you throughout the process. Cannot thank Joe enough for his guidance!

Once you get a sense of the plans, the opportunities to customize become available. My sauna took about 35 hours to build and sits at about 170 degrees. A great project and a great investment in personal health.

This wouldn't be the first time I'm using Joe's plans to build something. A few years ago, I also built a cold plunge which was super easy to follow and straightforward when it came to simplifying everything. This time around there was a lot more woodworking, but it was fun and again easy to assemble and build. It also required me to get some tools that I never had, which is always fun to learn new skills. Thanks again, Joe.

I’m not a handyman by any stretch of the imagination, but this DIY sauna heater kit was surprisingly easy for me to put together. I installed it in an old infrared sauna as the new heat source and paired it with four 400-watt HotBox sauna bulbs, which give you heat, infrared light therapy, and red-light therapy; basically the best of all worlds in one setup. I just gave it the first test run and everything worked perfectly.

The instructions were solid and the video walkthrough was extremely helpful. Even though not every step is verbalized, the pictures and visuals make it easy enough to follow along and understand where everything goes. One small clarification: the instructions mention pre-drilling the holes in the front of the cedar frame, but they don’t mention pre-drilling the holes in the back as well. Luckily the video showed it clearly, so it wasn’t a big deal.

It definitely took me a little longer than it probably should have, and I even needed someone to help me assemble the cedar square, but the overall build was still very doable for someone with minimal DIY experience.

My only real regret is that I missed the Black Friday deal by about three days — could’ve saved myself some money! So if you’re reading this around Black Friday or Cyber Monday, take advantage of the sale.

Overall, I’m really impressed. The kit is solid, the heater performs great, and it turned my old infrared sauna into a much more powerful and versatile setup. Highly recommend.
