Build your own sauna with a sloping roof - suggestions/notes/plans

Hm... it must be due to my imagination, so sorry.... So you want to basically attach the door in the middle of the vertical beam, so that it doesn’t lie ON the wall but runs more or less flush with the entire wall. Wouldn’t it then be possible to do it like, for example, attaching a glass pivot door of a shower to the wall with stainless steel hinges, i.e. also without any frame? So not like in my picture but exactly in the middle between the two vertically running door beams. Not to bother you with this, I’m just looking for an option to avoid spending almost 1000.- without losing quality.

Yes, that's exactly what is meant. Specifically with bands for a shower door. As for the seals, I need to inquire again; if they can be omitted, all the better. It looks tidier. You are definitely not annoying, I'm happy about feedback anyway ;)

So, our shower door was attached similarly back then. A very flat hinge screwed to the wall, which allowed me to move the door even 180 degrees. The glass door hung on it, without any sealing, estimated to be 3-5mm away from the wall so it wouldn’t scrape against it when opened. On the other side, it hit a fixed glass panel with a vertical rubber lip. That was it, and it was a 90x90cm shower, and there really weren’t any problems with water leakage. In your case, the door should just hit something, which could even be on the floor, ultimately even your self-built part as a floorboard at the entrance, etc. That might not fit well or be desirable for you, but ultimately it’s a door that just needs to lean against something. It’s different from an interior or front door; in the end, even a shower curtain would probably do :eek: exaggeratedly put. I think you know what I mean, and you will do what suits you best. Above all, it must appeal to you, so that on the last stretch you don’t skimp at the wrong place.

Shut the flap, monkey dead. :)

From the sloping ceiling down, a strip still needs to be added, but otherwise I am satisfied.
That's how I always imagined it.

And it definitely needs a different ventilation grille....

brown, stainless steel or glass?
Glass as tinted pane with spacer sleeves, backlit to match the sauna lighting, you’ll make it look nice

Thank you, to my knowledge there are also some made of wood. If I find one for a 100mm pipe in spruce, it would be perfect
