The Build
My deck wasn't originally framed to support the weight of a full cabin sauna, so the first week of this build was actually reinforcing the deck joists underneath before the sauna itself went up. Worth checking your deck's rated load capacity before you buy anything if you're planning to build on an existing structure.
Matched the roofing to the existing deck cover so it reads as one structure instead of a separate box bolted on.
Materials List
- Cedar cabin kit rated for outdoor use
- Reinforced deck framing (added joists)
- Electric heater, 6kW
- Roofing to match existing deck cover
