How Do You Construct a Sauna?

Regular visits to a sauna are known to provide health benefits, but those trips can be costly when compared with having a sauna at your home. Constructing a sauna at home is an easier task that you might think. While there are plenty of do-it-yourself sauna kits for sale, a sauna can be built without one.
