Build A Finnish Sauna Cabin in Your Backyard
How to build a traditional Finnish sauna cabin from a kit. There are several designs to choose from and each sauna cabin can be assembled with a few simple tools. No framing or insulating is required.
A Finnish sauna cabin is a nice addition to complement anyone’s house. According to the Finnish Sauna Society, almost every Finn owns such a cabin at one of the tens of thousands of lakes that dot this northernmost European nation. For the Finns, sauna bathing is a way of life and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
The traditional Finnish sauna burns wood. The sauna bath house is usually located in a small cabin near a lake or river. In North America, most outdoor saunas are situated in the backyard and the shower has to suffice for the traditional swim in the lake. There are several options for recreating a Finnish outdoor bath house. A builder could build from scratch using plans that are readily available. The second and better option is sauna kits or pre-built sauna rooms that make construction of such a cabin a feasible project even for the novice home renovator.
The Western red cedar cabins from Mr. Sauna make construction of a Finnish sauna a snap. There are several designs to choose from and each bath house can be assembled with a few simple tools. No framing or insulating is required. These are completely self-contained home saunas with red cedar exterior walls. All that is needed for outdoor use is the addition of a roof and a wood burning sauna room heater to recreate the Finland style bathing experience.
Another self-contained cabin is the ThermaSol modular home sauna that comes with an electric heater. The western red cedar wall and ceiling panels are coded for easy assembly. The Finnish style bath house comes with pre-assembled benches, a pre-hung door and accessories such as a bucket and ladle. These cabins come in a variety of sizes and fit perfectly into the corner of a spare room in your house. With the addition of a roof, ThermaSol saunas could be set up on suitable flat surface in the backyard.
