Build A Finland Sauna Cabin in Your Backyard
A Finland sauna cabin would
be a nice addition to complement anyone’s house. According to the Finnish Sauna
Society, almost every Finn owns such a cabin at one of the tens of thousands of
lakes that dot this northernmost European nation. For the Finns, sauna bathing
is a way of life and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
A traditional Finnish sauna burns wood. The sauna bath house is usually located
in a small cabin near a lake or river. In North America, most outdoor saunas are
situated in the backyard and the shower has to suffice for the traditional swim
in the lake. There are several options for recreating a Finnish outdoor bath
house. A builder could build from scratch using plans that are readily
available. The second and better option is sauna kits or
pre-built sauna rooms that make
construction of such a cabin a feasible project even for the novice home
renovator.
The Western red cedar cabins from Mr. Sauna make construction of a Finnish sauna
a snap. There are several designs to choose from and each bath house can be
assembled with a few simple tools. No framing or insulating is required. These
are completely self-contained home saunas
with red cedar exterior walls. All that is needed for outdoor use is the
addition of a roof and a wood burning sauna room heater to recreate the Finland
style bathing experience.
Another self-contained cabin is the
ThermaSol modular home sauna that comes with an electric heater. The western
red cedar wall and ceiling panels are coded for easy assembly. The Finnish style
bath house comes with pre-assembled benches, a pre-hung door and accessories
such as a bucket and ladle. These cabins come in a variety of sizes and fit
perfectly into the corner of a spare room in your house. With the addition of a
roof, ThermaSol saunas could be set up on suitable flat surface in the backyard.
