Isn't that the truth lol 🇨🇦

When I'm inside, I use the inside lock to open and close it. The outside lock is to keep it closed when not in use

Sure but his point is somone or something could lock you in 😮​@philyoung1468

I started with a greenhouse before I upgraded :)

I have a smart plug. But it's just a faff. Once you've found the set/up temp you like then you don't need it. And if it gets to hot... open the door and close it 😁

@@philyoung1468 thanks mate, I love that. i guess we humans have a tendency to over think and over engineer. just open the damn door!!!!! Ace.

Hi Jake, just wondering did the halford bike tent work?.

@@tough2lie382 hi there mate. I've got to say in terms of the money I spent vs the experience, it way surpassed my expectations. The halfords tents was £35 (awesome for the money) and I found a metal frame reclining garden chair with polyester fabric (just the right size) on facebook families for £10. I'm a painter and decorator so I already have a pro steamer (earlex steam master). The tent has a back "pocket" to feed the pipe through, and a pretty well thought out zipped front flap which allows me access to the steamer switch if I need it in a hurry. I dangle a LED torch from the hook inside at the top. The tent is steam heat ready in just a few minutes (after steamer gets up to steam), and (obviously this is all done outside) though a smidge awkward to get in, zipped up and the steamer pipe not pointing at my legs.......I am to tolerate it for about 20 minutes or so, which is about my limit in a regular gym type steam room before I'm done. I also shake some eucalyptus essential oil about the place. Upsides - just the same buzz you get from a gym steam room / super convenient. Downsides - I must wear pants in case the neighbours see me getting in and out / a smidge fiddly to get in and comfy (not tons of room), but once you're in and set-up you're golden, . Clearly it's not as good a set up as the OP's "shed". But in terms of a satisfactory steam session, it's mega. Oh yeah....one last downside, as it's a tent, the water / condensation builds up in the bottom and doesn't flow away. But the tent is light with a massive door so you can just shake it out and it air dries sweet enough. Hope that helps. PEACE!

Thanks Jake for all the info. I'm going to halford tomorrow.

I have added it to the water but prefer a few drops over the steam outlet.

Thank you. Plastic will do exactly the same job as the tiles you see in a normal steam room. Just make sure to silicone all edges to reduce drafts and escaping steam.

@@philyoung1468 Plastic (really thick?) sheeting? or wall panels?

@@mountain3478 buy a kit shed.

You would need to seal it up real good and you might need 3 steamers. 2 at the very least I would have thought.

I'm not convinced a tent in your bathroom is a good idea... it gets REALLY steamy...

@@philyoung1468 I'm hoping the tent will go some way to keeping a good mass of steam within its confines as the humidistats on the extractors are set at very sensitive and the fans quite powerful considering the sizes of the bathrooms.

@@jmorrison4839 I you have to do it in a tent, which will work because I started off in a tent like greenhouse... do it in the garden not the bathroom.

Dude, you’re a genius. I was thinking I need to build one, but I also have a grow tent I’m not using currently. Thanks for the idea!

@@Makewomensubmissiveagain you're welcome.

Hi - Why do you switch between machines? Why not just keep the wallpaper steamer on no?

@@Makewomensubmissiveagain you're welcome, just tell the neighbors you have a grow tent in your house 😂

@@atulbhandari6729 believe me when that wallpaper stripper gets going in a 3ft by 3ft, 6ft high tent, you'll want to come out after 10,15 minutes, unbearable temperatures, gets to 70 Celsius. So I turn that off when all heated up and enter with the controllable steamer, it has a 1 to 9 setting on it, I normally use setting 6. Hope this helps.

I only use 1 steamer, so 2k watts, but it's not on for too long anyway, so we're probably talking around £0.50 each session.

Yeah, I had to work it out after, reckoned on about a£ an hour for 4k, not bad! Even better if you only use 1 steamer

Hi, the bottom isn't water tight so will naturally drain with no need for modification.

@@philyoung1468 thanks!

No, you don't need two. Makes things very hot with two going

Any steamer will do. They are all the same... just a box to hold water and a heating element. Usually with a 5 meter hose.

No hate towards your setup. Just aspects of thought that may have been overlooked.

So recent update, disassembled my wall paper steamer, did a lead test-heating irons inside are 100% positive for lead. I’m gutted because I loved this application of thought.

Of course. It will take slightly longer to heat up and you might need to block out ventilation like I did but it will work for sure. In fact I was going to buy a 6x4 myself but only I use it really. Maybe in the future I will upgrade but space is an issue as well.

@@philyoung1468 awsome cheers

4 steamers maybe

You could potentially put it in a garage if you silicone it well and completely seal it off. You will need to make some kind of vent which you can manually open and close, so before you get out and after you're finished, you would open the vent and allow all the steam to escape into the open air rather than into your garage. Hope that helps.

It's plastic and it's just like being in a steam room... Sorry I can't really elaborate more than that 😕

It's a constant cycle from the bucket to the shower head and back to the bucket. Via a rechargeable submersible pump.

Not very well I feel. The wood would rot over time and you might get mould or other fungus growth. Every steam room I've ever been in has had tiles or hard plastic. Wood is usually for dry saunas.

@@philyoung1468 Ok, thanks Phil

I've tried it with one. It's OK but doesn't get near the temperature with two. I guess if you don't like it so hot it would be fine.

Now that I've sealed the inside ceiling joints with silicone, 1 is more than enough. I've had 2 but it got up to 57°c before I had to get out. I was going to cook! With 1 steamer I've measured it at 50°c

@@philyoung1468 I like your setup, using a small storage shed for your sauna. 2 questions. 1. Does the plastic get to hot to touch 2. Have you used it in cold winter like conditions?

@@deltafour1212 1 - no it doesn't get hot at all because it's plastic vs wet heat. 2 - this will be my first winter with it and you can bet I'll be using it a lot!!

Hi Tough - just replied to your comment. My one is enough.

No. Water can escape at the bottom for when cleaning or use etc.

Yes no need for the plastic plates

@@philyoung1468 thanks

Yes - I only use one steamer. Just make sure you use silicone sealant to seal up all the ventilation points.

@@philyoung1468 Thank you. 😀 👍

No need to be concerned. The body has an amazing way to maintain homeostasis... Sweat!!! Your concerns may be eased by learning steam rooms are quite common, as is the temperature I operate mine at. Thankfully, we don't hear of many heat-stroke related deaths due to steam rooms ;)

Finnish sauna goes to up and beyond 100c

@@notme1345 no they don't. I've used quite a few of them and they do not reach anywhere near 100°c, thankfully. You would be killed if they did.

@@philyoung1468 "The temperature in the hot room is a matter of preference but the Finnish Sauna Society recommends from 80 to 100 degrees Celsius"

@@philyoung1468 sauna is supposed to be stressful not relaxing, if you're not suffering you are not getting the full benefits of sauna. The extreme change in temperature causes adaptations on a cellular level, the same goes for cold water therapy.

Hi Jemal. From years of experience going to steam room and working in gyms etc I can comfortably say that seated is around 45°c and standing is around 50-55°. It gets very hot. At least what you are used to in a normal steam room.

@@philyoung1468 Okay Phill, thanks a bunch, you're the man! I live in New Orleans Louisiana so it feels like that outside on the regular basis lol!

Hi Jemal. Today I measured the temperature. I have updated in my video description.

It's a Keter Manor 4x3 shed and the steamers are just B&Q / home improvement store own brand.

@@philyoung1468 awww thanks mate! Doing this me!!! 😆

black and decker do a good steam

Update... still going strong. Still incredibly hot. Still loving it. I was in 2 days ago and 2 days before that also.

I really don't think anything inside connected to the 240v circuit is a good idea... It's not much effort to get out and turn it off from the garage (8 meters away). What do you mean by heaters through it??

​@@philyoung1468you use a 12 v switch inside the shed to switch the 240 via a relay, same as shower pump s

@@marmac567 there is no 12v step down. The steamer is 240v and only the outlet is in the steam room.

​@@philyoung1468I😂,, I know,, that's why I suggested adding it,, it's how switching of mains voltages is done from dangerous areas,, such as showers

​@@marmac567 sorry, but I don't see the point in switching voltage as there is no danger from my current setup.

Boils water, produces steam from the hose.

@@philyoung1468 hi, I changed the plastic pipe to stainless 10 mm pipes, it is better. Because the watter from plastic pipe smelled badly

@@smolovi excellent. I haven't noticed a bad smell but the 10mm will give you more steam anyway so that's good. I may look into increasing my outlet size as well.

In a word, yes.

I've not had to clean them. 1 failed and I had to buy another but that's it.

@@O1Z well I'm still alive and well. Thanks.

What update do you need? I was in there 3 days ago. Still loving it.

@Phil Young thanks for replying. Just if it's rusting, maintenance and would you do anything different to make it better?

@@tjm1015 it doesn't really require any maintenance and there's no metal that can rust inside. I don't do anything beyond the bi-annual jet wash.

Thank you for caring about my welling so much that you took the time to comment with this... Thankfully, I'm still alive.

Very strange comment...

Yes. You're right. My girlfriend may try to kill me by locking me in my own steam room. I often wonder how such strange comments are made...

@@philyoung1468 correct or your neighbour

Please don't be concerned.

also the water boils in plastic containers full of carciongens could be very toxic maybe phil can report back in a few years. if you could some how remove the steamer elements and hard wiring and put in a stainless steel container and run copper pipes from it and get some nice marble or cheap stone that would be some project .

Personally, the only reason I made this so small is so that weirdos with nothing positive to say can feed their negative mindset by commenting on my video. Thanks for commenting Michael 😉
