Planning an outdoor sauna: location, timber and what you really need
An outdoor sauna goes in quickly, but its position decides whether you will use it in January.
Location
Close to the house, with a paved route and a shower or cold water a few steps away.
Timber
Thermowood outside, hemlock or aspen inside: low-odour, splinter-free and stable in heat.
What you need
A heater sized to the volume, good ventilation and a window with a view. Everything else is optional.
