Build a 2-Person Home Sauna from a Kit

A small 2-person home sauna with an electric or infrared heater doesn’t take up much space and is ideal for just the two of you. A prefabricated home sauna or a do-it-yourself kit requires some assembly, but the detailed instructions that come with these kits make the project as simple as following the step-by-step plans.

A do-it-yourself sauna kit for 2 persons can be put together by someone with low skill levels in a couple of hours, eliminating the need for major home renovations. A typical kit includes pre-built and pre-fitted wall and ceiling panels, benches, backrests and the floor boards. Doors and windows are pre-hung and easy to install. You won’t need an electrician in most cases, as the kit will come with a pre-wired electric or infrared sauna room heater.

Make sure you know the difference between a precut sauna kit and pre-built modular saunas when you compare kits for 2-person saunas. Precut kits require a lot more work on your part, as the kit contains only the material for the inside of the home sauna. You will have to build an insulated frame or use an existing room for its installation. Plan on spending 2 to 3 days to complete such a project, if you are doing it yourself.



Pre-built kits or prefabricated home saunas are freestanding units that require only basic or low skill levels and are easy to set up in 1 – 2 hours. These are the do-it-yourself kits you should look for in a 2-person sauna that is completely self-contained. They are easy to set up and fit into the corner of a bathroom, bedroom or the basement.

A small 2-person sauna will limit you in your choice of heaters. Most do-it-yourself kits use wall mounted electric heaters appropriately sized for the dimensions of your sauna room. Far infrared portable home saunas use ceramic infrared heaters that are built into the walls for direct heat transfer to the body.
