Sauna Framing

Next on the Sauna Build series is framing! The plans for this build are based on these 8x12 Shed Plans I got from a seller on Etsy. I ended up making some minor modifications, like moving one window to another wall, and using a pre-hung exterior door, but all in all these plans got me 85% of the way to what I needed and were a great foundation to apply modifications to.

Finally a post for the sauna build! At the time of writing this, I’m working on putting up the tongue and groove board for the interior of the hot room, but I’m going to make these posts in rough chronological order, so we’re going to start with the foundation.

First, a high-level overview of the sauna. It’s a detached structure from the house with 8’x12’ exterior dimensions. There will be an 8’x6’ hot room where the actual sauna is, and the other half is an 8’x6’ changing / cool down room, so you don’t have to go out into the snow in between rounds in the sauna. The important part here is the exterior dimensions for the foundation.
