DIY Backyard Sauna Build – Part 2: Roofing, Sheathing, and Insulation

Part 2 of my DIY backyard sauna build is here! In this episode I get the sheathing up, build and install the roof, wrap the whole structure in Tyvek, install hurricane ties, insulation, and flash the window and door openings.

This was the stage where the sauna finally started to look like an actual building and where a few small mistakes (looking at you, drip edge) taught me some lessons I wish I’d learned before starting.

Part 1 is here with parts 3, 4, and 5 coming in the next few days.
