The sauna is only 6x8 with no dressing room. It has a wood stove that I buy in Northern , WI. I sell about fifteen saunas a year with anyone stove people want, but most choose this one for the price and strength. Blueberry Antiques and blacksmith shop.

Nice that stove looks very heavy -duty I like how it has a tray to hold the stones in place, do they design those specifically for sauna use?

Yes, they are good stoves. I guess you can't see tin the pictures, but the fire box is round and with those sides almost touching, it makes a good place for rocks.

Owen,
In the picture outside done, I see the porch roof starts from the roof and not under the eves. How do you seal that area between both house roof and porch roof? I think the house roof is tarpapered then the porch roof is added. I like it but can't get my mind around how it done. That small lip at the porch roof's edge must have been a bear to shingle. Great job on the cabin, and sauna. Seeing the pictures makes me want to include a sauna in my future plans. All of your work is inspirational, to a future planner such as myself.

Yeah there are no shingles in that area. The porch roof has ice and water barrier and is also flashed with it at the joint. I don't normally do this kind of porch because of the possibility of flexing. I made an exception in this case because of a good gravel base with all dry gravel beneath.
