It's still a little hard to explain. Maybe just watch the video to find out why. This sauna build video goes through the entire process from start to finish, from buying an old bale wagon frame as the wheel base, welding it together, building a wood framed structure on top of it, and super insulating everything with 12 solid inches of hempwool insulation. We install a beautiful wood fired stove (my dream stove!) and some cedar accent pieces to make it all shine. Key features of the build are the luxurious changing room with hangers, boot storage, and firewood storage systems. Everyone I've ever talked to who has built or owned a sauna wishes only one thing: that it was ultra portable so they could bring it with them when they move. So I put this sauna on wheels because I know for a fact that next year its moving to our final house site, and I can tow it myself for free with nothing but a truck or tractor. We built a chicken coop last year with a similar design and I've had to move that thing a bunch (its not easy) but it works fine and this will be making less trips hopefully! 📕 TABLE OF CONTENTS 📕 00:00 Sauna build reveal, before and afters 00:44 Build begins with bale wagon wheel base 02:20 Installing sauna building subfloor and wall framing 03:17 Stairs and windows 03:40 Roof membrane install 04:56 Installing hempwool insulation into sauna rooms 08:23 Interior wall plywood and flooring 09:01 Exterior siding corrugate and cedar trim 10:45 Sauna foil vapor barrier installation 11:50 Sauna interior build, stone, stove, cedar 17:05 First sauna test 19:00 Sauna interior finishing touches and changing room build — 📸 Join us on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildweroam Our freezer meal cookbook → https://wildweroam.com/batch Free postpartum meal guide → https://wildweroam.com/postpartum
