A good-looking sauna and maybe even air might be enough. I would also put the outside pipe directly on top of the stove and the big valve under the shelves. There seems to be a gap under the door, where replacement air is supplied to the stove. In my own saunas, it is 15 centimeters wide and that is just about enough. The valve on the ceiling is for drying the sauna after the sauna. It does not increase air circulation during sauna use. I have watched and commented on many sauna projects on TH-cam, and yours is the best. Greetings from Finland!
@pawejonczyk1099 Thank you for asking. In the sauna, it is important to take care of the air required for burning wood in the stove first. It happens in two ways. A 15-centimeter gap is left under the door of the sauna room and an air pipe is brought under the wall from the outside near the stove. Secondly, you have to make sure that there is enough air on the benches. It requires good air circulation. Fresh air must be brought to the stove from the outside with a pipe, either through the wall or under the wall. The pipe opens about 50 centimeters above the stones. In my sauna, the diameter of the pipes is 10 cm, but 15 cm is better. The air also had to leave. It is good to make an adjustable valve or two under the benches, the common diameter of which is at least 30 centimeters. Thirdly, the sauna must also be dry after sauna use. It is done with an adjustable valve above the benches opposite the stove. Diameter 15 cm. This valve is kept closed during the sauna session. Here are the main principles. It is also good to have a vestibule in the sauna, so that an opening can be left under the door of the sauna room. The opening can also be made with valves if the vestibule cannot be built. In principle, this instruction also applies to mechanical ventilation. Very important is that benches are so high that you toes are higher than stones.
@@HannuPulkkinen49Thank you for your answer. Can you send me some photos of your work and solutions by e-mail or WhatsApp in your free time? I watch dozens of films from all over the world. every sauna is different, I would like to build my own, in the forest at my grandmother's, far from civilization. there will be no electricity and water there. there is a river and silence, one great silence.
Hey, great build! After not long ago completing a home gym build, you inspired me to start building my own home sauna also. I’m at the insulation stage now, but I was wondering about your led strip lighting. Are they specifically for high temperatures? Could you recommend what would be suitable? Many thanks and good job.
Thank you! :) Dimensions are 2x2,2 meters. The hight is in front of the sauna 2,4m and back of the sauna 2,2m. Now, when the temperature in November in Estonia is about 2-3 degrees, then the temperature in sauna is like 85-90degrees. If I would want much more heat, then even this is possible, but I like 80-85 degrees :)
Hi, congratulation look very nice, you are clever. I also wanted buy or ... build a sauna, but YOU convince me that it can be DIY. If is possibe can you give me your sketch with the measurements? I see you can move the bench, why? Is it possible to turn it sideways? Can 4 adults fit in the sauna? I read earlier that you are making a video in which you share your experiences after 1 year, would it be possible to know what these are? Sorry about many questions but the winter is coming I need to start ASAP. Thank you and greatings from Transylvania!
Question: wouldn’t bugs,spiders,mice,etc crawl in through gaps in cedar flooring?? I think it’s great for the sauna to be able to breathe although I just wonder if this is a problem. Thank you and it looks awesome.
Hey! Greatings from the Czech republic. Its amazing , you are amazing !!!! Iam building one sauna by my own, and please i have one question, on the floor, you left holes between each wooden plank. Why? How does it work with sauna heating? You have done it like this for the fresh air coming ? Or? Thanks for your advice Sincerely Petr
This is amazing craftsmanship, you are very talented. Thank you for the inspiration, I'm going to start a project to build one here in Cornwall, a smaller one at 1.5m x 1.8m, would you be happy to share your drawings please?
Thank you for asking! No, I left them because of the air circulation and when I use a bowl of water in the sauna, the water falls through the boards onto the ground. We did sauna on 24th of december and there was about -3 degrees outside and in the sauna we enjoyed about 90 degree heat. So everything is great :)
Hello, yes, they are. I left them because of the air circulation and when I use a bowl of water in the sauna, the water falls through the boards onto the ground. The heat is great and sauna isn't cold ;)
@@sillevalinu Dear Sille, thanks for your answers they are really helpfull to me. Ok, and how it works the pine wood after a year of using in heat room? Is it still same ? Or moving? Or? Have a nice day!
Thank You! I used a thin inner lining board that snaps together. Easy to use. I recommend using a nail gun to install them. I didn’t use nail gun, but it would be easier :)
Thank you! The numbers are in the beginning of a clip, where is the sketch :) It is 2,2x2 meters and in front it’s 2,4 meters tall and the back its 2,2 meters.
@@sillevalinu Hi, how does the floor feel during winter season? U never felt that you miss the insulation? I'm thinking to do the exakt same construction in my daughters play house when I get the approval from her 😁
Nice sauna. BUT, the sauna door should always open outwards - it is for your safety. And also when using an electric drill and saw other electric tools, never with gloves on. You saw it yourself with that screw...
Thanks for an advice! Now, when we have used our sauna almost one year, we understood that the sauna door should open outwards. Soon we are changing it :) Also we change some little things too and make a little update video. Yes, the gloves… My first bigger project tought me a lot! Next time I will be wiser… I hope :)
Thanks! :) Greetings to New Zealand! I bought all of my supplies from Estonia, from different hardware stores. I am sure that you find something from New Zealand as well. I wish a great process with your project and when you are done, it would be nice to see your process result ;)
Talvel kannatab isegi paremini kui suvel ☺️ Kütmisaeg on pisut pikem, aga efekt on mõnusam - 80-100 kraadi on ilusti. See, et põrand soojustatud pole, ei saa laval olles aru. Positiivne on hea värske õhu pealevoolavus. Jah, jätsin soojustuse ja laudise vahele tuulutusvahe.
Hästi tehtud.... Olen eritellimusel sauna ehitamise projekteerimise faasis. Mind huvitab, kuidas mänd kõrgele kuumusele vastu peab? Plaanisin kasutada seedrit, kuid see on palju kallim. Aitäh...
Aitäh! Ma kasutasin erinevaid puite. Karkass ja välisvooder oli mul kuusest, lavalauad olid haavast, sisevoodrilaud lepp, terrassilaud mänd. Hetkel talvekülmaga on lepp pisut kokku tõmmanud, aga mitte märgatavalt.
Mul tegemist üsna väikese projektiga ja otsustasin seetõttu tihendatud killuapadja ja fiboplokkide kasuks. Aluskate killustiku all on geotekstiil, et umbrohi läbi ei hakkaks kasvama. 🙂
@@sillevalinu I would really like the sketch if possible? I just bought land in Estonia, I was planning to build something similar to this. This is VERY useful. Im very grateful that you and Sander shared your projects here on TH-cam. Can I ask what the final cost of this was in the end and the timeline? :)
Kuulmiskaitse! Preili, kui teed järkamissaega tööd. Muus osas väga asjalik video, tänud! Aa ja kui paks kingspan läks seina? Karkass 5x5 prussist või oli mõni muu mõõt?
@@sillevalinu väga hea, proovi ikka, sulle endale kasulikum. Tänud vastuste eest, kuid siiski küsin veel et kas nende põrandalaudade vahelt talvel külma õhku ei tule? Sry ma pole spets aga plaanin isegi midagi taolist teha :) sestap siin uuringi niimoodi.
Oleme nüüd iga nädal sauna teinud ja samuti katsetanud :) Saunas on väga hea õhk ehk et alt tuleb koguaeg värsket õhku peale, aga laval jahedust ei tunne. Saun läheb kuskil 40 minutiga soojaks. Selline 90-100 kraadi ilusti käes. Põranda ligi on jahedam õhk, kuid saun ise väike, seega ahi kütab kenasti koguaeg kuuma peale ja õhk ringleb. Ootan ka, et saaks juba talve katsetada :) Arvan, et ilmselt kütmisprotsess pikeneb, aga muu oluliselt mitte.
Peagi plaan ka sarnane ehitus ette võtta. Kuidas see põrand end õigustab? Kas terrassilaudade vahel olevate õhuvahedega sauna tegemise ajal tuul läbi ei puhu?
Kuna ahi kütab sauna kiirelt soojaks ja sooja õhku tuleb koguaeg intensiivselt peale, siis olles lava kahel astmel ei ole üldse tunda, et põrand justkui “lahti” oleks. Tuul ei puhu. Ilmselt võti on ka selles, et väike ruum ja parajas suuruses ahi. Lisaks on pluss see, et värske õhk tuleb koguaeg peale ja ringleb. Samas kui sauna kausiga vett kaasa võtta, valgub kõik kenasti läbi põrandalaua vahede.

The heat repels insects, so there is not any bugs.
Yes, sauna breathes well :)
Nice work
Looks awesome, most impressive diy sauna I've seen on TH-cam so far! How much did all of the materials cost?
What was your reasoning for keeping the floor open, is it for air flow?
What wood did you use for the floor? Treated or untreated?
You don't need a vapour barrier, just insulation inside then board it out?

Väga kena saun tuli! Meeldib just see, et panid hästi palju rõhku väikestesse detailidesse mis tegid selle sauna unikaalseks.
This is super great! Are you also using it during winter? Or is it just a summer sauna?
I believe the wood is 100% untreated to not create any toxic air or bad odour?
Yes, you are right! Untreated wood inside sauna. Only the floor is pretreated, but it is also uninsulated and breatheable.
this was dope!
Hey where did you buy the cedar from ? ❤
Do you mean the indoor material on the wall? 😊 It is alder.
