How to Build a Sauna inside a Shed

What happens here

Create two levels of benches using cedar lumber. The lower bench will be similar to an average chair height (around 18 inches off the ground), while the upper bench will be higher to allow more headroom for a 6'2" person. Construct the bench frames by screwing cedar pieces together, ensuring they are robust. Install the benches into the sauna, attaching them securely to the wall studs. The bench slats are also cedar, installed with screws from the bottom to prevent exposed metal surfaces that could burn skin.

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw / Miter Saw
  • Cordless Drill / Impact Driver
  • Screws
