Part of the long term plan was to install a sauna in the Mother of All Sheds.
I'm now looking on line and there are traditional steam saunas (electric heater and stones for water to be poured on) or infra red (which I assume is just an array of radiant heaters).
Any experience, pros, cons etc?
Also considering a steam room/cabinet/shower enclosure in place of the current bath.
Again, any experience, pros, cons etc.?
Cheers

P.S. Merry Xmas.
Aren't you supposed to have snow outside, so that you can run out naked and roll in it?
Who needs snow?
We have vast drifts of mud.

That is an image I didn't want.
"Mother of All Sheds" = Onlyfans studio, I think.

Search back 10-12 years for context.
It is quite big and the concrete base is best described as "substantial".
All main services except for gas.

IMO: forget infrared, go for heater + stones.
Part of the sauna is a (cold) shower for afterwards. Ideally also a tub of cold water to dip/immerse in after the quick shower rinse. This can be anything from a IBC container to a cedar wood tub to a pond to a lake, ice layer optional.

If these drifts of mud are anywhere near storm outlets, then i'll hazard a guess that the 'mud' will be laced with something else.
There's a mobile sauna business operating on Worthing seafront, using a repurposed twin horse box to provide the steam box, but last saturday the group of people using it had to contend with low tide and navigating an area of stones and rocks before reaching the sea.
