Outdoor Saunas

What an Outdoor Sauna Is and Who It Is For

An outdoor sauna is a freestanding cabin, barrel, or infrared unit built for permanent backyard use in all climates. It suits homeowners who want a private sauna without giving up an indoor room.

Traditional cabins and barrels use a wood or electric heater for steam and higher heat; outdoor infrared units heat your body directly at a lower temperature. Most need a level base such as a concrete pad, deck, or gravel bed, and electric or infrared models need a circuit run by an electrician. Assembly usually takes a day with two people. Sessions run 20 to 40 minutes. Want the barrel shape specifically? See barrel saunas. Prefer a traditional wood-burning outdoor build? See outdoor traditional saunas.

Cabin Shape or Barrel Shape

Cabins give a boxy room with more headroom; barrels heat faster and shed rain and snow better. Both are built for year-round outdoor use.
