Great build and color scheme!

One of the best tutorials I've seen on here

I really enjoyed this video , i have a small shed like this that was a kids play shed but not used much now. I would just need to insulate inside and board the inside , change the door to a glass one , and get the burner/heater. I have a whiskey barrel already for a Cold dip.. Love it you’re giving me plenty of ideas.

Thank you! Trust me, if you live in Estonia where the temperature can go as low as -20..-30 degrees in Celsius then you definitely need insulation because in the end you will spend more money on the fire wood and it will take 2-3 hours more to heat it up without the insulation. And to be honest, I'm not even sure if you can get the sauna hot without the insulation in winter here. But if you live in a tropical country I believe the insulation isn't needed but I would still use it because then I can keep the temperature hot much longer without throwing any fire wood in the heater.
