Outdoor Sauna : What is it?
| Outdoor saunas are designed to withstand extreme weather and outdoor conditions. They are usually installed in backyards and pool areas, or anchored to the side of a house. They come in different sizes and can accommodate five or more people. There are also various heating options available, including traditional steam, smoke, and infrared. Outdoor saunas are usually built from cedar, a thick aromatic wood known for its resistance to heat and rot. Most models also have frosted glass doors that open outward to save space. |

Kinds of Outdoor Saunas include the following: |
Cabin-type outdoor saunas
- Cabin-type outdoor saunas are rectangular enclosures with an angled wooden roof.
- They are usually built on a flat base or installed into the ground.
- Some are built as extensions to the house and have their own shelters, porches, and entry steps.
Barrel outdoor saunas
- Barrel outdoor saunas are shaped like large cylinders raised on two or more ground supports.
- Doors are located at one or both ends of the sauna and are usually accessed by entry steps or ladders.
- They are easier to move around than cabin-type saunas, but usually have lower capacities and limited headroom.

Construction: Choose an outdoor sauna made of durable cedar or redwood. Make sure they are tightly constructed to keep the heat sealed in. Check the seams between the panels for any gaps or cracks that may allow heat to escape. Make sure the door fits properly over the frame and is easy to unlock from the inside.
Safety features: Choose an outdoor sauna with temperature controls and monitors to prevent overheating. Look for one with an indicator light that alerts you when heat or humidity reaches dangerous levels and needs to be adjusted. Make sure the door swings smoothly outward to keep users from getting trapped inside the enclosure.
