Never use glue inside sauna and now I'm talking the real sauna, so over 100 degrees of celsius if needed. When you wash the benches, you need to leave gap between wall and bench or make benches removable. Greetins from land of saunas: Finland.

Good job James. I was thinking you would need a support leg in the middle but it looks pretty solid without it

Are those all 2x4's or are did you use 1x4's for the tops of the bench?

Great video! I'm getting ready to do a sauna build myself. I think I'm going to go with western red cedar. Question: How did you fasten the bench boards down? I just didn't get that part of it. I know you drilled holes all the way through each transverse board in the very beginning but I just didn't see how the top boards were fastened to them.

Great looking benches. How much spacing did you use (gap) between the top planks of the bench? Are you happy with the result - next time would you make the gaps the same size?

Can you use a eucalyptus garden bench inside the sauna? Does this type of wood secrete oils, does it get too hot?
