Greetings! I reside near a picturesque “lake” in New Zealand and have an exciting project in mind: constructing a floating sauna. Currently, I’m in the process of researching suitable materials. It has come to my attention that Cedar, while an excellent choice, tends to be quite expensive. Therefore, I am seeking alternative timber options that are more budget-friendly for the outer walls of the sauna. It’s essential for the chosen timber to withstand the scorching summer sun and the corrosive effects of saltwater. I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you can offer regarding this matter or any other general tips you might have. Thank you in advance!

    Is the plan to just have sauna next to the shore, or one you can take out onto the lake?

    Sauna boats are quite popular here in Finland nowadays - though majority is on the inland lakes, where they don’t have to deal with salt water.
