Materials List
2 x 4 x8
screws
48 x 48 x 1/2 plywood
48 x 3 x 1/2 filler wood
various scrapes for support
The base is 56"x 56". Once the 2x4 is measured, it helps to sketch the angle of the cut so you don't end up with parallel ends that won't frame up. Cut 45 degree angle on ends. Angle the rip saw to cut the upper face of the 2 x 4 to soften the edge. I used 60 degrees and left an inch on the bottom of the angle. Then use the rip saw with the blade lowered to create a lip for the plywood to sit in.
I used scrap wood from other projects and secured them randomly underneath the base to support the plywood. But I will have another piece of plywood on top of this base and then tongue-and-groove wood on top of that for the sauna floor. There will be enough support for my 200# bod.
