I don't normally spend much time over here on the flat side of the forum, more of a spinny kind of guy. I started this project back in Aug. just finally finished it about a week ago due to work and family commitments. I first got the idea from my local spa dealer when getting supplies for my hot tub. They were selling a 6 sided version that was a prefab kit imported from Finland on sale for $13k. I figured I could build my own 8 sided version cheaper. Built from knotty pine and spruce it is about 124 sq. ft. With the exception of glass for the windows and the rolled sheet metal I built it myself, total material including those items was under $5k and took around 150 manhours to complete. I started by designing, based on pictures from the net, in Sketchup. Based on the initial test with family and friends I suspect it will see plenty of use over the long cold winters we have here in the Edmonton area. Thanks for looking.
