Dear Mike Wynn,

Attached you will find two pictures of our 5 x 7 feet sauna. Our trim carpenter installed it for us and we are very happy with it.

We did different vents for the look, we liked those better.

The wood is of very nice quality and I love its natural smell.

I really like the idea of having the wood on the floor also. This makes it much more comfortable; I was not used to this option before.

Since we like to use sauna essence, I have observed that some of the moisture escapes through the gaps around the door. I hope I don't need to be concerned about moisture being trapped inside the drywall. Usually we keep the door open after usage for a few days. I hope that the vents are sufficient to have enough air circulation when the sauna is not used for a while, even if the door stays closed.

Thank you for this nice product.

Hello Maia,
Here is a (very honest!) text on our sauna experience. Feel free to pick up the parts that seem most interesting to you (and to correct it since English is our second language…)
A picture is attached.

Last year, we decided to shop for an outdoor sauna after reading a report in the local newspaper. We were particularly amazed by the look of barrel saunas. While visiting different retailers, we discovered that outdoor saunas were not very popular in Quebec city. Consequently, the product was poorly understood and salespeople were unable to advise us properly. We finally found information's and advices at Saunafin and ordered a western red cedar barrel sauna with a Tylo Combi 7 heater. This heater has the attractive feature to enable steam bathing AND traditional sauna.

Shipping was planned and executed to our convenience. Building the barrel sauna and heater installation were easily realized. Post sale service was perfect. We had tips and quick answers to all our questions. At first we were reluctant to buy online but our experience was positive.

Our family had a full year of careless heat and steam relaxation, especially pleasant during the cold season. Now, we are left with a mystery: why isn’t sauna bathing fully integrated to the Canadian northern culture?

Thanks to Saunafin,

Hi Mike,

Great news!

Armed with the trusty screwdriver, and your words of wisdom, I have stripped the unit down, rebuilt it and it is working better than ever!

You were right - I couldn't see it, but the connector was in the wrong way round.

Also, there was a short where the ribbon cable had chafed against the unit.

The upshot is that it is working brilliantly - mush kudos Tylo, to make their unit survive an upside down connection!

Thank you for being there with the inspiration to work through the problem.

I got everything put back together an hour or so ago, and am very happy with my sauna.

Thanks, Mike  - if you ever need a reference for a 'wobbly' customer, please direct them to me with total confidence!

Thanks again, 
Andy

Maia, I wanted you to know that we finished our 6 x 7ft sauna last week...Lynne & I are very pleased with the results. The wood kit provided was top-notch, the western red cedar components were of the highest quality & very piece could be used generating minimal waste. The instructions provided were detailed & easy follow....I would recommend Saunafin to anyone considering to have built & or to purchase a DIY kit, we knew from the moment that your detailed quotation was received that Saunafin (far better than all of your competitors) was who we wanted to deal with. This proved true from the time we purchased the kit through to the final assembly of the sauna.  
Please feel free to use us as a referral for any new potential customers....it was a pleasure doing business with you.

We have attached a few pics of our sauna to be posted on your web site.

Best Regards, 
Ron Zeraldo

Maia,

Thank you for taking my phone order for my wife’s birthday.

As I mentioned on the phone, I installed the kit over the Christmas holidays taking my first sauna on Christmas Day. Installing a sauna is something that I wanted to do for years after travelling through Europe.  My sauna experience drove to framed a 4 x 8 box with standard door opening into a 2 story addition I had put on back of the house before finding settling on a kit. 

The whole process from customizing the kit to my non-standard dimensions, picture of the shipping delivery, quality of materials received, percentage of extra materials allowing for mistakes and excellent installation instructions were all professionally crafted and handled by Saunafin.  It really made installation by me very easy.  So easy, I only waited on the electrician to hook up the heater for me to meet my Christmas day deadline.  I attached a couple of pictures of the finished product.

Thanks again,
Dan

Hi Maia,

Sorry it took so long but here is finally a brief review and some pictures. I hope you can use them.

Thank you,
Sabine

  
Saunafin was referred to us by our local contractor in Chicago. We were hesitant at first to order a complete sauna online without being able to look at the different options for layout, heaters, etc. We were pleasantly surprised by the knowledgeable Saunafin staff, their prompt feedback and the ease of ordering and shipping. We can highly recommend Saunafin and would use them again.

I would like to thank you for my sauna shipment. It arrived in great condition, the packaging was perfect and all needed supplies were intact. The instruction booklet was informative and easy to follow. It took me five days to complete, working on it in the evening after work. We are very happy with it and have used it every day since completion. I would recommend you to anyone interested and would like to build saunas for others. If I have that opportunity I will surely order from you again. Thanks again!
