What is an outdoor sauna?

An outdoor sauna is a type of sauna that is located outside, typically in a backyard, garden, or other outdoor space. It is usually a small, enclosed structure that is designed to provide a space for people to relax and sweat in the heat.

The structure of an outdoor sauna is usually made of wood, such as cedar, spruce, or pine, and can vary in size and shape. It typically includes a bench or seating area, a heater, and rocks or stones that are heated to produce the heat and steam. The sauna is usually heated by a wood-fired stove or an electric heater.

What types of outdoor saunas can you get?

• Traditional Finnish Sauna: This type of sauna is the most common and popular type of sauna. It typically features a wood-burning stove. The sauna is usually made of cedar wood and has a simple, rustic design.
• Infrared Sauna: Infrared saunas use infrared panels to emit radiant heat, which penetrates the skin more deeply than the heat generated by a traditional sauna. They are often more compact and energy-efficient than traditional saunas and are a good option for people who prefer lower temperatures.
• Barrel Sauna: Barrel saunas are cylindrical in shape and resemble a large barrel. They are often made of wood and are a good option for people who have limited space in their backyard. The rounded shape also allows for more efficient heating and better air circulation.
• Mobile Sauna: Mobile saunas are portable and can be transported to different locations. They are often built on a trailer such as a horsebox and can be moved from place to place. Consequently, they’re a good option for people who enjoy travelling or who want to use their sauna at different locations.
• Wood-Fired Sauna: Wood-fired saunas are heated by a wood-burning stove, which gives them a traditional feel and can provide a more authentic sauna experience. They are often made of wood and are a good option for people who prefer a more rustic design.
• Electric Sauna: Electric saunas use electric heaters to generate heat and are often more energy-efficient than traditional saunas. They are a good option for people who want a more modern and convenient sauna experience.
• Sauna Cabin: Sauna cabins are often a more substantial and permanent structure compared to other types of outdoor saunas. It is typically built with thicker walls, insulation, and a sturdy roof to withstand the elements. A sauna cabin can also include additional features, such as changing rooms, relaxation areas, or outdoor showers.
