Diy Sauna Kits

How hard is a DIY sauna kit to assemble?

It’s much easier than you might think! Think of it more like assembling high-quality furniture or adult-sized LEGOs than a major construction project. Every sauna kit DIY we offer comes with pre-cut and pre-milled lumber, pre-assembled benches, and clear, step-by-step instructions. With a friend and some basic tools, most people can have their sauna built in a single weekend.

What tools will I need?

You probably already have everything you need in your garage. The essentials for most kits are a cordless drill, a level, a tape measure, and a rubber mallet. That's it! All the specialized hardware, like screws and hinges, is included in the kit.

What's the difference between a kit and a custom build?

A DIY sauna kit is the fastest and most straightforward path to relaxation. Everything is pre-cut and designed to fit together perfectly. A custom build is for those with unique spaces or who want to hand-pick every single component themselves, such as sourcing their own lumber and a specific sauna heater. For most people, a kit provides the perfect balance of satisfaction and simplicity.
