Our custom outdoor sauna building process is simple. From start to finish we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about building a custom outdoor sauna.
From the design phase till the sauna is built, you don’t have to worry about a thing. If you have an idea of what you want, great! We can build it. If you don’t know yet, we can help you on the design process and beyond.
Taking a sauna is relaxing. Working with us on your custom sauna is too. Contact us through our quote form or call 612.505.9700 to get started today.
When you choose the custom outdoor sauna route, you can design the sauna exactly how you’d like.
How many people do you want to fit in your sauna? Where is the sauna going to go? What about windows?
There are a lot of customizations you can put in your sauna, but we help you simplify things and will walk you through the process step-by-step.
All of our outdoor custom saunas are built right here in Minnesota. Contact us to learn more about custom options in your outdoor sauna.
When it comes to dimensions, you can choose whatever you would like. The most important factor to consider when it comes to the size of your sauna is how many people you are going to have in there at one time.
Other factors to consider are :
After you have decided on the size and layout of the sauna, we will help you find the appropriately sized heater for it. We offer a variety of different sauna heater brands in our custom outdoor saunas. Each heater offers different sauna experiences.
Featured Sauna Heater Brands :
All our wood is mill-direct, using only the highest quality, hand-selected wood. All from verified sustainable forests. All wood choices are chosen for their ability to hold up for years (typically decades) in the harsh sauna environment.
All wood that touches skin (benches, backrests, duckboard flooring, heater guard, headrest) is chosen for staying cool to the touch of the skin (No knots – they get hot in the sauna heat!)
Four of the most common wood types we use on the interior of our saunas are clear western red cedar, clear canadian hemlock, black taika, and nordic spruce with abachi benching. But, we do offer additional wood types such as heat-treated alder, aspen, knotty-cedar, and much more. Don’t hesitate to ask us about additional wood types!
Clear Western Red Cedar offers a luxury feel to the sauna with multiple different tones. Cedar has a unique and desirable scent to it.
Unlike Cedar, Clear Canadian Hemlock offers a single wood tone. It’s a brighter, reddish wood.
Black Taika is certified birch plywood developed exclusively for high performance in the harsh sauna environment.
European Grade A Nordic Spruce is commonly found in saunas in the Nordic Region, where saunas originated.
Each of the wood types that can be used in the interior of the sauna, can be used on the exterior of the sauna.
The most popular exterior our customers choose on their custom outdoor saunas is Smart LP Smart Paneling. It can be painted any color and looks great on any sauna.
A backrest in the sauna is comfortable, looks nice, and keeps your skin off the T&G walls. There are several upgraded backrest options to put in your sauna.
Available in all wood types and heat-treated Alder.
There are multiple different options for sauna lighting. The most common is the RGBW Strip Lighting, but it’s not the only option.
The RGBW LED strip lighting and the RGBW LED puck lights are compatible with the SaunaLogic 2.0 Control. Change the light color and brightness to suit your liking. The lights can be purchased and set up a la carte too.
LED strip lighting comes pre-installed behind your backrest. Can also be placed under bench.
Puck Lights go into the ceiling.
Each sauna door swings out. The glass doors feature a single pane, tempered glass with a latch. Wood doors feature a single clear, tempered pane down the center, with ball & catch latch or self-closing hinges.
View sauna door options below.
The All Glass Bronze door comes standard with the custom sauna, but there are other options available.
All Glass Door Options:
The standard glass door size is 24″ x 72″.
A Douglas Fir Wood Door with a Clear Insulated Glass Insert is an option with the custom outdoor. Available with a ball & catch latch (standard) or self closing hinge.
The standard Douglas Fir Wood Door size is 24″ x 72″.
Our standard sauna window comes in a single pane, tempered glass. They’re available in both clear and bronze tint. All windows pre-hung in the panels.
Below are our standard sauna window sizes in the custom sauna. We can do entirely custom window sizing if the below options are not what you’re looking for.
Standard Window Sizes:
A duckboard walkway comes standard with the sauna. A duckboard is nice to walk on and looks good in the sauna, but it’s not a requirement to have one.
An additional duckboard can be purchased for outside of the sauna (entryway, etc).
Rounded Bullnose Trim sits on the bench face.
It comes in either the standard bench wood type, or heat-treated alder.
Bullnose Trim offers an aesthetic and small comfort while sitting on the sauna bench.
A changing room is convenient for rooms that are a long walk from the house. Adding a changing room is an upgradable option.
