When I was
researching how to build a sauna, I encountered many websites that
helped guide me or had good suggestions on things I didn’t think about. As I
used these sites, I kept track of them so that hopefully, I could help someone
who wants to build a sauna find some good info. If you have questions on how to
build a sauna or any suggestions of changes to my process, please post in the
comments below.
