Sunlight Sauna, ( not a Sauna )

[Guest guest]

Morning Rick,

 

I used the wrong word. ..... not a sauna at all.

 

>Building a Sunlight Sauna sounds like a good idea.

 

I should have called it a " sunlight room " or similar.

 

This would be a small room built outside, with 4 walls and a door. NO TOP!

 

The walls would have a specific height at 90 deg, then a slope to

carefully selected to avoid blocking the sun rays. A table would exist in

the center.

 

This arrangement would allow maximum exposure to the sun and it could be

used even when outside air temperatures were low.

 

Presently, 60 deg F is about the lower limit for removing clothes to gain

exposure to sunlight.

I did not plan this media due to lack of knowledge and study at this

time. Would this be of value when full spectrum sunlight was used?

When working in the sun, there is no way to avoid sweat, which has

benefits. At times when the humidity and wind is favorable, one can work

in the sun with little sweat.

OK.... will study this a bit.

 

 

>Let me know how you were planning to build a Sunlight Sauna?

 

Working on the plans, in my mind. Of course in a few weeks, springtime

will be here and I won't need it.

Maybe before next winter.

Life is a dilemma, is it not?
