We’re getting real close to wrapping this mobile sauna up and plan to list it soon!
The back deck and exterior door have been finished. This will be a nice feature, to be able to step outside and cool off in the breeze while staying on the sauna deck.
We’re just about done with the changing room. The bench in the changing room is cedar.
Both the deck and the changing room walls are pine.

Good lighting is key for the premier sauna experience! This sauna feature a dimmable strip light under the bench as well as dimmable lights in the changing room and deck. All of this is powered by solar so you will never have to worry about power for this mobile sauna!

Got the solar panel mounted and hooked up! The solar power will feed the lighting on this mobile sauna which is a key part of the premier sauna experience!

Benches are in and first coat of exterior paint is on. We used western red cedar for the benches to provide a nice accent. We were careful to use boards with less knots as the knots can retain and reflect heat. And we built the benches so that there are not any screws or nails on the surface.

Made a lot of progress today but still some details to finalize. We placed the wood stove/heater and chimney as well as the backing for the stove. We also finished placing the cedar tongue and grove in the steam room. The dressing room wall went up today. We ran electrical wires in prep for the lighting (this is a key part of a good sauna experience). The dressing room walls were insulated, v***r barrier placed, and the walls were finished with pine.

Next steps, we are planning to place a solar panel so this can be fully off grid, build the steam room benches, and add details to the dressing room and deck area!

Here’s an updated pic of the interior. We placed mineral wool between the studs for insulation. Mineral wool performs better in a sauna versus other types of batten insulations. It reflects heat better and is less prone to rot, mold, and off gassing. We also placed a 100% aluminum v***r barrier which will help protect the interior of the wall and reflect heat back into the sauna. This is a healthier choice versus other options of v***r barriers which will contain plastic that can off gas chemicals into the air.

Loaded up with Eastern Red Cedar and Ponderosa Pine! The dressing room and deck area will be finished with pine while the steam room will be finished with cedar! Cedar is the ideal wood for sauna due to its ability to handle the moisture and heat!

We’ve made some more progress! The walls are framed and exterior siding is on!

This mobile sauna will feature a 6’ x 6’ steam room, a 6’ x 6’ dressing room, and a 2’ x 6’ deck. It will be ideal for 1-4 people. More to come!
