Where can you find plans for a wood-burning sauna?

Both Snapguide and How To Build a House provide instructions on building an outdoor wood-burning sauna. The Snapguide plans are broken up into small steps with the list of supplies necessary for each step. How to Build a House gives tips on how to decide on the style and size.

The decision about the size of the sauna should take into account how many people the sauna needs to accommodate. Also, a custom built sauna is best for a specific space, but there is also the option to purchase an outdoor sauna kit if the space is more flexible. Another decision is what type of wood to use for the frame of the sauna. The best type of wood is one that is not subject to mold and mildew, such as cedar or rosewood.
