Complete DIY Sauna Kits for Indoor and Outdoor Installation
Creating your personal wellness space is simple with high-quality materials and step-by-step instructions. Each kit includes Western red cedar panels, proper insulation, and all the necessary hardware to build a fully functional indoor or outdoor sauna.
Traditional Finnish Steam Heat
Traditional indoor saunas deliver authentic Finnish relaxation using electric heaters that reach 160-195°F or classic wood-burning stoves. Electric models range from 4kW units for smaller rooms to powerful 12kW heaters for larger spaces. Wood-burning options provide off-grid operation with natural fire ambiance.
Key Package Components:
- Pre-cut cedar panels with tongue-and-groove assembly
- Electric heater with volcanic rocks for traditional steam
- Ergonomic bench seating for comfortable relaxation
- Cedar bucket and wooden ladle for water application
- Insulation materials for heat retention and moisture control
For authentic off-grid heating, consider our wood-burning sauna kits that pair classic stove charm with precision-cut cedar panels.
Custom Indoor Cedar Configurations
Popular dimensions like 4x5x7 accommodate couples or small families, while 6x5x7 models provide space for larger groups. The floor system handles moisture and heat without warping. Each package includes detailed plans for customizing shape and size to fit your available space.
Infrared and Hybrid Technology
Infrared units operate at gentler temperatures (110-150°F) while delivering deep, soothing warmth. These connect to standard household outlets and heat up quickly for daily use. Hybrid models combine traditional steam with infrared elements, allowing you to choose your preferred heat method.
If you prefer gentle, targeted warmth, explore our streamlined infrared sauna kits for quick heat-up and plug-and-play convenience.
