Sauna Kit - A DIY Project at an Affordable Price

Traditional saunas, steambaths and infrared saunas create a quiet get-away at home. Look forward to the warmth of heat and steam to relax tight muscles and reduce aches and pains. A do it yourself sauna kit is an affordable way to create that place of healing.

Save money by building a custom sauna from a kit. Choose from many types of wood, in sizes, shapes and room layouts that fit your ideas and needs. Choose a traditional heater with stones or an infrared emitter - or do both if you like.

A sauna can be built almost anywhere - beside the pool, in a shed or garage, a master bathroom or in the basement. Construct a sauna in any size or shape. Customize a factory model with upgrades and deluxe components.

Precut saunas

Often called sauna material packages, pre cut sauna kits come with the materials needed for the inside “skin” of the sauna. Look for kits that include a vapor barrier, lining, benches, door, molding and heater.

Made to order saunas are permanent structures designed to fit a space that has already been framed, insulated and finished on the exterior.

Generally a medium skill level and some woodworking tools are required because the frame has to be constructed before the sauna is assembled. This involves stud walls, ceiling joists, insulation and wiring.

Learn how to build a sauna with detailed instructions and diagrams. DIY sauna kits make the process about a 2 or 3 day project.

Pre fab saunas

With a prefab sauna kit there is no need to frame or insulate the sauna since the walls are prefabricated and self supporting. All the components are designed for quick, easy assembly without the need for tools. The finished product can be dismantled and moved.

Infra red saunas

A prefabricated infrared sauna kit can be assembled in an hour and includes ceramic heating elements, interior lights, fresh air vent and prehung door. Some kits come with digital timer controls, a radio and stereo speaker system.

Saunas outdoors

Use an outdoor sauna kit to build a freestanding structure that can be taken apart and moved if necessary. Prebuilt outdoor saunas can be put together in a matter of hours with only a low level of skill required. Of course a foundation is necessary and there will be municipal by law regulations to follow.

Sauna prices reflect the amount of labor required for construction - the less you have to do, the more it will cost. With a minor investment of skill and time, however, your family can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of a home sauna.
