The drawing is our standard layout for the DIY 5' x 5' Sauna. Note that by purchasing this sauna online you are approving this layout. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to give us a call or contact us. All of our saunas are custom and we can accommodate any changes you need. Our design consultants will be happy to assist you in building your dream sauna.

In a typical traditional sauna, the walls are made of tongue and groove wood paneling. Each of our tongue and groove boards starts out as a 1" x 5" or 1" x 4" board that's milled to perfection. Our paneling is kiln dried to 6-8% moisture which stabalizes the woods and reducing warping and shrinking of the boards once their properly installed in a sauna. Tongue and groove paneling can be installed either horizontally or vertically.

We want to make it easy as possible for you to get started so we offer a pre-cut option for no additional charge. It can quicken your paneling install process but you must make sure your framing measurments are precise along with door and window rough openings. We will provide detailed plans and framing instructions. If you have any questions please contact us, our design consultants will be happy to assist you. A sauna is a lifelong benefit and we want you to be happy with the experience for many years to come.
