I’ve built over a dozen sauna benches, no, many more than that.
I’ve built over a dozen sauna benches, no, many more than that.I’ve sat on a bunch more. Do you drive yourself crazy sitting on a sauna bench trying to figure out how it was built? Well, this is a better sauna bench. All 2×4 clear material. All hidden screws (no branding on the butt). No exposed end grain. Super sturdy. Every board reinforced from the sides, below, and by bracing underneath. Simple construction.
If there is a better sauna bench, I’d sure like to know about it.
If there is a better sauna bench, I’d sure like to know about it.If you already have a sauna and your sauna bench isn’t like this, i’m sure it works just fine, and i’m not trying to get under your skin (there are sensitive sauna Joe’s out there).
Its fun grazing through the 2x4x8 woodpile at the lumber yard finding boards clear on one side (no knots to brand your butt). You need 7 boards at 8′ to make one of these 2′ wide benches.
I love this bench.
Seeing this sauna bench makes me want to go sauna. That’s it. I’m going.
Oh, this design works great for patio benches too.
(especially overlooking the shores of Lake Superior, not my garage).

Interested in this bench. Do you have any more specific plans detailing how assembled ?
Chris, the bench building plans, along with a lot of other valuable material are detailed in the ebook Sauna Build Start to Finnish…. hope this helps you along!
