Build a Sauna

You may not realize this but there are many companies around that sell Suana Kits. These kits range greatly in price and quality, starting at about $1100 and going all the wy up to $5000 or more.

The biggest question that comes up when building your own sauna is "what am I going to use for heat?". You can choose from Electric, gas, wood burning or some other type of energy to fuel your sauna.

Electric is the most popular type of heater for a suana. Its convinient, safe and inexpensive. Gas is a little bit les expensive but be sure to check for Carbon Monoxide when using gas.

You will also need to decide where to put your sauna. I like the indoor saunas better myself but exterior saunas are available. Here is a check list of some of the more important issues that come up when building or buying a sauna.

Suana Build & Inatallation Check list

  • Do you have the needed tools to install the suana?

  • How much work are you willing to do your self and how much can you afford to pay an contractor to install your sauna?

  • Location. Indoors or Out, attached or free standing?

  • How will you get water to your sauna?

  • How wil you heat your Sauna - Wood, gas or electric?

  • Do you want a Dry Sauna or a Wet Sauna?

  • Do you want to consider inafred heaters?

  • What do you plan to uset as a vapor barrier to keep the moisture from escaping?

  • Ventilation is also important as you will need a fresh supply of oxygen

    Some of the most popular dealers of these kits are:
