hi there, I'm building a sauna from found bits, and a shed I was given. I've insulated it with old camping mats, and duvets, then covered that with thick black plastic and will cover this with pine from pallets. the floor is pine, with rigid insulation under it. one wall is plywood from a skip. do I need to cover this in plastic too and then pine or would I get away with using it as the wall? I'm not gonna buy cedar.

I think you can just use the plywood as the wall without covering.

Knew a guy that just threw one together with some partial sheets of salvaged plywood and a few 2x4s; nothin fancy but pretty 'tight'. Sorta looked like something some boy's put up as a clubhouse. It worked fine.
Some stuff is easy to overthink.

How do you plan to deal with potential rodent infestations in that insulation? Normally the sauna is loved for its cedar aroma. It won't get much use if it smells like mice!
