insulated sauna door and casing

WOW!

That looks like a pretty good-sized door!

Must be a good-sized sauna!

Sounds great!

It would be interesting to see how you did it… and what you used for insulation.

Looking forward to it…

Nice looking door. I wonder if the heat from the sauna will bring out the cedar aroma.

that would be more like pencil aroma don
it is western red cedar
not aromatic cedar
and redwood is a cousin to WR cedar
so they are much alike

Beautiful door David. I would love one for my own spa, except I would need the walls around it as well :) In the interim, I will look forward to your blog and be prepared when that day happens :)

maybe the post needs to be offset grizz
so you can enter full bodied on one side
and come out thinner on the other

thanks david

oh i thought this was a two way door, with folks side stepping, , but the idea of coming out thinner is , well i . dont know if that will work for me, as i need to eat a dozen doughnuts before i go in to have the energy to last in there, and then another dozen when i come out to give me the energy to think about doing it again…so i might just get all heated up for nothing, but the doughnuts will be worth the thought…;)

thick or thin
donuts are always in

Good looking door David.
Love the first picture, looks like a door to NM country ….. you must be an artist too.

A very attractive door! And the insulation should work great. It’s no less than I’d expect of your work, David. Very fine.

when i first walked thru it
i almost fell off the porch
so i moved it so i could clamp it to the post
for the pictures as the wind was howling
