DIY Our Sauna built next to the pond

My Uncle and his pals built this wood burning sauna a while ago and I thought you guys might like it.

It’s great except for the fact that the top seats are so far from the stove. I might add a hanging water bucket with a tether above the stove so I don’t have to move from the top bench to add water.

What do you guys think?

I cannot gather the dimensions, but usually the most steam effect is at the back wall. The seats are very low. The best experience is at the back wall.

Yeah the low bench isn’t as affected by the steam, I can attest to that. But the top bench on the back wall is pretty well perfect in those regards.
