8ft x 12ft Sauna Plans
Plan Package includes:
Full 3D Model from interior to exterior with tagged layers.
PDF file with measurements and build details including a basic materials list and tools required list
These plans were created by me (Jonathan Kuhn) to plan and build the Off-Grid sauna I have shared on youtube. Changes have been made to the plans to reflect what was actually built in the youtube series with a few changes from lessons I learned during the build to make things easier for you. These plans are to be used as inspiration only and it’s important that you consult a professional and all local building authorities before attempting a build of your own.
The packaged Sketchup plans are where the real power in these plans lie. The attached 3D File can be opened in the free version of Sketchup found at the link below. Items are tagged so you can easily show and hide sections and modify aspects of the design as you wish. I just ask that you don’t redistribute these plans or modified plans as your own as I have put considerable effort into making these plans as well as building to these exact plans hopefully to your benefit.

I built this WoodBurning Sauna at out off-grid waterfront property and shared the process on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL6ZczIPbPL_HmZuuAi22ODo8LsXHsve0
The Sauna is built on an 8 x 12 ft footprint to ensure it is under the 100sqft requirment for a building permit. It contains a sizeable hot room 7.5 x 7 ft which can comfortably hold 4-6 adults and also has a small 4 x 7.5 ft change room. The building is clad with standing seam hidden fastener metal roofing and includes a nordic style roof design of having no overhanging roof while still having hidden venting for the attic of he sauna.
I made these detailed plans were made in sketchup to ensure the build went smoothly and many issues were resolved before the build by first planning them in 3D. Nonetheless; There are a few “fixes” I had to make during the build and I’ve made sure to add these to the current plans. These plans should help you avoid some of the mistakes I made that cost me more build time.
Downloadable plans include a PDF with document with measurements and details from the foundation to the stick framing all the way to details of the hot room benches and hidden LED lighting.The plans also include a materials list and tools required to make this build succesful.
The plans also include a 3D sketchup file with tagged layers so you can view the build in 3D and show and hide different elements. This also opens the door to modifying the design to suite your unique taste or build based off these plans entirely!
