How to Build a Sauna inside a Shed

What happens here

Run flexible metal conduit (FMC) through the framed walls to the designated locations for electrical components. Secure junction boxes at the top for a heat-protected light fixture, which is specifically designed for sauna environments. Install another junction box at a lower height for the main electrical connections. The electrician will later feed the appropriate yellow-colored Romex cable (12/2 or 12/3 gauge) through the conduit and make the final connections. The creator installs the conduit and boxes, but leaves the actual wiring to a certified electrician.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill / Impact Driver
  • Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC)
  • Junction Boxes (round and square)
  • Romex Cable (yellow
  • 12/2 or 12/3 gauge)
