The name SaunaPlunge Container is quite accurate since it is constructed from a 20-ft-long shipping container. It includes separate sauna and plunge pool sections. The sauna section measures around 7 x 7 ft, and it is a compact space that can fit four adults comfortably. It has a cedar tongue finish, groove walls, a stereo system, an electric sauna heater, and some generous glazing.
On the other hand, the plunge pool measures 7 x 10 ft and is incorporated with aluminum stairs, lighting, and some seating. It also includes insulation and a propane-powered heater, as well as an inverter heater/chiller to convert it into either a hot tub or a cold plunge pool. The pool can accommodate six adults and has a capacity of around 1800 gallons.
The SaunaPlunge Container seems like a comfy thing to have in your backyard, serving as a space to unwind after a long day or week. It is priced at US$49,500 and takes around 10 weeks to build once it has been ordered. The container is transported and delivered on a big trailer. If you only wish to purchase the pool section and skip the sauna, the compact provides 20 ft and 40 ft container pools as well. However, since the container does occupy quite a bit of space, it isn’t the best bet for homes with small yards. It seems like the perfect fit for homes with larger real estate to spare, or spacious backyards.
