Have you installed the sauna heater underneath upper level seat? - This is a great detail. I am trying to avoid having the heater sitting at a corner of my sauna too and really like your design. How did you deal with safety issues and design to make sure no one would sit on top? Thank you »

Non-essential add-on:After all the roughhousing with your friends or a stressful day at the office, a steam room sauna will help melt away all the knotted muscles. The salvaged wood treatment on the outside of the sauna adds to the rustic-modern vibe here. Tell me: If you could carve out a man cave space, no matter its size, what would you put in it? Would it be in the basement, garage, or attic? More: Fashionable Spaces Inspired by Menswear Coed Cave: A Man Cave for the Masses Make Your Home More Man Friendly
A nice sauna or steam shower would be great when we're done exercising.

4. Choose your heat source. Essentially, saunas heat the body in two ways. A traditional wet-dry sauna uses an electric or wood-burning heat source with stones to raise the air temperature to a point between 160 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit, on average. You also can produce steam by adding water to the stones in the heating element (hence the "wet" part).The newer infrared saunas use a radiant heat element that conveys heat directly to the body rather than the air, so you work up a sweat from within. Purists don't consider infrared models true saunas, but these types have gained popularity in recent years. Infrared saunas are cooler (80 to 120 degrees) and can be gentler on the skin. 5. Determine the size you need. Think about how you plan to use it. Will it be party central or a solo retreat? Choose a style that has space for the number of people you need to accommodate so that you're not spending the money and energy to heat unused space. You'll also want to avoid making the ceiling so high that heat rises above the level at which occupants sit — 7 feet is usually regarded as the maximum.Most home saunas for family use measure between 4 by 6 feet and 8 by 10 feet.A few sauna models are shown below; you can find more premade saunas in the Products section.
