A proper bodge job 👌

I was walking down the street and saw an 8ft x 4ft pallet and thought wouldn’t that be a great base for a sauna. I’m no craftsman but I’m handy enough to give it a go.

So I started collecting wood everywhere I went and formed a great relationship with the guys at my local reclamation yard. They told me lots of old tongue and groove flooring came in and I knew that was the sign to get cranking. I’m edge the t’n’g into 2by4 built a box frame, then decided old doors would be a nice cheap way to clad it. I had to buy some timber for the roof, but that’s all I got new.

Then for the inside I collected as much untreated pine as I could and brought some cedar of facebook marketplace for everywhere that we’d have contact with. The pine leaks sap but has actually held up really well. The tiles on the floor were scrap and the grout cheap.

It’s rustic to say the least but it works a charm. Fill up a Trash bin for a cold plunge and rigged up an outdoor shower for when it’s not too cold.

Just thought I’d share with the group.
