How To Build An Outdoor Sauna THE RIGHT WAY

📝 DOWNLOAD THE FULL SAUNA PLANS: https://payhip.com/b/4mXNo I built this 4-person outdoor sauna completely from scratch — and this is the entire build, start to finish. In this 1.5-hour full-length video, I walk through the complete process of building the sauna from the ground up, including the foundation, framing, roofing, exterior siding, insulation, ventilation, cedar interior, benches, electrical, heater installation, finishing details, and final reveal. I originally documented this build as a series, but after 8 months of actually using the sauna — and getting hundreds of questions about the design — I wanted to put everything together into one complete video. Along the way, I’ll also cover the mistakes I made, what I’d change if I built it again, answers to some of the most common questions from the original series, and exactly what the entire project cost. If you’re planning to build your own backyard sauna, my goal is for this to be the most comprehensive video you need to watch before getting started. 🔨 Support the channel and get the gear you need by using my affiliate links! 4" Black Stainless Vent ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://link.amazon/B01uPrsgB 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4z6MnTN 6" Black Stainless Vent ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://link.amazon/B08qSSneQ 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4rKlmDa Cedar Adjustable Vent ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://link.amazon/B0h9QSfog 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4xWnuZY Aluminium Foil Tape ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/4d3clxN. 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4iTcMQ7 Black Exterior Pot Lights ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/4dH6hNc 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4iPrGH0 8" Nautical Interior Light ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/3Q0dO0m 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4hS81VU Wooden Bucket & Ladle ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/4a3FOqO 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/3T9zsRJ Birch Whisk ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/4o3XB71 Sauna stones ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/3RWRsxs 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4ykAxVP Sauna door roller catch ➡️ 🇨🇦 https://amzn.to/4cXFQCr 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/4dJtJc9 ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:45 Framing 2:18 Electric heater calculation 4:21 Foundation 9:35 Erecting the structure 10:24 Building the flat ceiling 11:02 Creating the water drainage channel 13:17 House wrap and sheathing 15:35 Cutting the rafters 17:22 Building the roof 18:28 Installing the door 21:21 Adding the exterior trim 23:14 Installing the roller catch 24:07 Adding a window 24:56 Window calculation 28:13 Installing the exterior siding 30:25 Finishing the window install 34:33 Adding roof fascia 35:42 Installing the metal roof 40:06 Building the sloped floor 42:48 Insulating the floor 46:11 Insulating the sauna interior 48:00 Adding blocking 50:20 Foil vapour barrier 51:45 Tongue and Groove floor 53:33 Finishing the interior insulation 55:36 Finishing the foil vapour barrier install 56:48 Furring strips 59:05 Installing the tongue and groove cedar interior 1:02:19 Running the electrical 1:02:54 Finishing the cedar interior 1:04:12 Building the benches 1:06:00 Installing the ventilation system 1:09:08 Creating A hidden exterior intake vent 1:12:24 Finishing the benchtops 1:13:56 Adding the interior trim 1:14:37 Finishing the roof soffits 1:15:37 Adding the exterior pot lights 1:15:58 Adding the interior light 1:16:35 Installing the light switch 1:17:49 Heater type discussion 1:18:22 Installing the electric heater 1:20:57 Adding the sauna stones 1:21:24 Building the door handles 1:23:04 Painting the sauna 1:24:31 Final touches 1:24:55 Building the towel hooks 1:26:06 Final reveal 1:27:42 Cost breakdown 1:30:13 Conclusion #DIY #Sauna #OutdoorSauna #DIYSauna #BackyardSauna #SaunaBuild #DIYProjects #GoodEnoughBuilds
