$800 Sauna Build

How to build an infrared sauna for under $800

[jaswan]

I had this same thought to just build a surround to cover a cheap sauna and I knew someone had to have already tried it on the YouTubes. Looks great!

My man. Good job, ditch the frame and fabric enclosure and hang the heaters on your wall. That plastic inside smelled god awful when I tested it.

MDF if full of nasty chemicals like you say dude . It's your health at risk . You did an amazing job with the build though.

Nice size, really small size - exactly what I am considering... Fits in my shower-room.

Cool man you don’t even really need the tent now

[jaymcluvin]

Great work Taylor, more efficient and looks better to. Are you going to stain the final? I suggest a dark cherry.

Definitely switch to safer wood if you can. Best of luck

Killer vid! It looks great. Definitely going to have to come by and try it out firsthand :D

Would love to see your updated setup without the tent!

Hey thanks for posting this video! Curious on what you used for flooring when you removed the tent? I have the same sauna and when I first got it I was concerned about the off gassing but thought maybe the hormetic stress of the heat would counteract any damage. XD Anyway, I'm 5'7" and even for me that space was *tight* so this looks like a good solution to get a little more space AND get rid of the plastic. Incidentally, another search I did on DIY saunas turned up a great vid on using a 6x6 grow tent with panels and heat lamps aaand that's when I realized I was basically sitting in a grow tent every day! So I'd love to get rid of the tent. I searched for an update on your new setup, apologies if I missed it, but this looks like a budget friendly way to do exactly what I want. You've got a new subscriber and I'll keep a lookout on an update if you post one!

Dude I’m trying to build the ultimate indoor green house/ steam room combo because I live in a trailer in the Lower NE that doesn’t have central heat and temps. 😅

What about building a little wooden slatted platform for your feet?

[paulrossell-uq]

nice, i would consider two vents, top and bottom.

Dude way to go T Po! I've got my eye on one eventually as well. I love them. When you referenced the MDF, it looked really thin then I saw the flexibility and cutting it.... Isn't that Masonite/HDF? Because Masonite/Hardboard/High Density Fiberboard (as opposed to MDF) Doesn't use any formaldehyde-based resins for the binding!! I think you should be all good!! 😁

Amazing idea I try do that, this look simple

[jakel]

You are selling what you made. It's amazing

[anthony]

Thats crazy over kill. At that point just build a real sauna.

[conormooney]

MDF - what??? Do some research into that stuff guys

[karlfruecht]

Nicely done. Is it possible to take Matt's advice below and remove the fabric? If you wrap the HDF with some reflecting product that could help with longevity?

[DrMarvinLara]

Cutting the MDF is the most hazardous part of using MDF.
