Outdoor Saunas: Buyer's Guide


When considering purchasing an outdoor sauna for sale, several important factors must be considered. Here's a brief outdoor sauna buyer's guide to help you make an informed decision:


Budget Considerations


As you explore outdoor sauna costs, aligning them with your budget is essential. Outdoor saunas come in a wide range of prices, from more affordable basic models to high-end luxury saunas with all the bells and whistles.


While it may be tempting to opt for the most feature-rich sauna available, finding a balance between your desired features and your budget is crucial. Consider which parts are the most important to you and prioritize accordingly.


Additionally, remember that owning an outdoor sauna is an investment in your well-being and the enjoyment of your outdoor space. A high-quality sauna made from premium materials and with essential safety features is a worthwhile investment that can bring years of relaxation and health benefits.


Selecting the Perfect Location


Outdoor saunas can be installed almost anywhere, so consider factors like:


  • Privacy

  • Accessibility

  • Proximity to your home

  • Views

  • How it will blend with your landscaping


In the past, saunas were often installed near beaches, lakes, or rivers to allow for a refreshing dip in cold water after a sauna session. Nowadays, you can install an outdoor sauna anywhere from your backyard to the deck of your boat!


Shapes and Design


When considering outdoor saunas, you'll find a range of design options. You can opt for a more classic choice, such as a cabin sauna, or go for a modern touch with an oval-shaped or barrel outdoor dry sauna. 


The following table explores different designs and their benefits:


Sauna Wood Types 


The type of wood used in the construction of your sauna can impact the sauna's aesthetics and durability. Different wood types have unique characteristics that suit specific preferences and environments.


  • Hemlock: Sturdy Hemlock is a light-colored hardwood naturally resistant to stains and mildew, with a clean and elegant appearance. It's a popular choice for saunas with a modern or minimalist design, and the lack of an intense aroma makes it beneficial for those with allergies or sensitivities to wood scents.


  • Cedar: Cedar is a highly aromatic wood with natural resistance to mildew and insects. It's known for its pleasant fragrance, adding to the sauna experience. Cedar saunas are famous for their attractive appearance and durability, making them suitable for outdoor environments.


  • Aspen: Aspen is another popular wood type for saunas, known for its attractive appearance and lack of an intense aroma. While suitable for indoor saunas, it may not be as durable and decay-resistant as hemlock or cedar. However, Aspen saunas can be a more budget-friendly option, and their neutral scent makes them ideal for individuals with wood allergies.


Sauna Capacity 


When choosing an outdoor sauna, it's crucial to consider the hot room capacity. This refers to the number of people who can comfortably fit the sauna simultaneously. For instance, a 72" long sauna can comfortably accommodate four people.


To ensure everyone's comfort, make sure to allocate enough area for each individual, approximately 22 " – 24" per person. Additionally, provide adequate room to position the heater away from where everyone's seated. This way, you can create a relaxing and enjoyable sauna experience for all users.


Foundation and Assembly


Site preparation is important before sauna installation. The ground must be leveled, along with the arrangement of proper drainage. Standard foundation options include concrete, pavers, slabs, or wooden decks. Make sure to follow local compliance and regulatory codes.


DIY kits are often included with most saunas, along with thorough instructions that you can complete in a couple of days with help from family and friends. Alternatively, you can opt for professional installation for convenience and peace of mind.


Roofing and Care


Ensure your outdoor sauna for sale is protected from harsh weather by covering it with a roof. Roof vents can also be added to cool outside air inside when needed.


Sauna maintenance is relatively easy for both wood-burning and electric models. Regular cleaning and airing out after each session will help ensure your sauna smells fresh, stays tidy, and lasts long. 


Choosing the Types of Outdoor Saunas


There are different types of saunas to choose from, each with its advantages:


  • Wood-Burning Saunas: This is the most common and traditional type of outdoor dry sauna. It uses a wood-burning stove or electric heater to heat stones, which radiate heat throughout the room. The temperature in a Finnish sauna typically ranges from 160°F to 212°F, with low humidity. Wood-burning saunas provide an authentic and traditional sauna experience. 


  • Electric Saunas: Electric saunas are a type of sauna that uses electricity to generate heat instead of traditional wood-burning stoves or infrared heaters. Electric saunas are known for their convenience and ease of use. They also produce less smoke and require minimal maintenance compared to wood-burning saunas, making them cleaner and easier to install.


  • Infrared Saunas: Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit infrared light. Unlike traditional saunas, they heat the body rather than the air, offering some individuals a less intense and more comfortable experience. These saunas operate at lower temperatures, typically ranging from 120°F to 150°F.


Additional Features


Saunas may have various features, such as LED lighting, MP3 auxiliary output, roof vents, and adjustable vents for fresh air circulation.
