Here we have a gently used, completely refurbished wood burning sauna available for the right sauna enthusiast. Ben at Prairiewood Saunas in Wisconsin built this sauna. It debuted at the wildly wonderful Banya Fest last fall, where I found myself in this sauna for more than a couple rounds. The sauna for sale is barely used, and looks and performs as new.
Let’s check out the exterior
The exterior is LP long lasting satin black with 50 year warranty. The footprint is 8′ wide by 10′ long, including the deck. The roof is long life steel., soft pitch shed style. The front porch is 3’x8′
How about inside
Hot room is approximately 7’4″ inside left to right, and 7′ deep.
A key attribute to this sauna is the triple bench system. Sitting on multiple levels feel really comfortable, no matter which thermal climb appeals to you at any given moment. The top two benches are all clear 2×4 western red cedar. This is the kind of bench design that I really like. It’s soft and cool on the buttox and the material to air ratio, in my experience, is perfect.
Shall we talk about the sauna stove?
Small Kuuma Low Profile that packs a serious punch. Lights with one match, sauna is hot in an hour, and what’s best is that you don’t have to stoke this stove every 30 minutes.
The heat, steam ventilation in this sauna is nothing short of fantastic. And I have been in hundreds of saunas.
This sauna is available for $18,000. It is at Ben Prairiewood’s workshop in Central Wisconsin. The purchaser of this sauna will be responsible for picking it up. Alternatively, Ben can help arrange for shipping, paid by the purchaser. Quotes: $500 within a couple hundred miles of Central Wisconsin. The shipping quote is approximately $1,500 for most places beyond that distance to Central Wisconsin.
All this is a good thing as you will purchase this sauna one time and will get to enjoy great heat, steam, ventilation for the rest of your life.
