How to Build a Sauna inside a Shed

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Acquire a tempered glass door (regular glass will crack with heat) for the sauna entrance. Modify the door by attaching wooden trim pieces to the top and bottom edges, secured with screws. Construct a custom wooden handle, which is safer than metal in a high-heat environment. Route out recesses for hinges if it's a hinged door or prepare for a sliding track. Install the door into the framed opening, shimming as necessary to ensure smooth operation and proper fit. Ensure there is enough clearance around the door for wood expansion.
