Safety disclaimer

Outdoor Sauna Index is a planning and comparison reference. It is not engineering advice and must not be used as construction documentation.

Planning and comparison only

This catalogue profile is intended for preliminary planning and comparison. Final dimensions, structural design, heater selection, electrical work and safety clearances must be confirmed by qualified professionals and the relevant manufacturer documentation.

Heater selection

Final heater selection must follow the heater manufacturer's sizing instructions, safety clearances and local electrical or fire-code requirements.

Your responsibility

• Confirm all structural, electrical, ventilation and fire-safety details with qualified professionals.
• Follow the manufacturer’s documentation for any heater, stove or chimney.
• Obtain the permits and inspections your local authority requires.
• Verify setbacks, clearances and shoreline or environmental rules for your site.

Saunas involve high temperatures, electricity or fire, and water. Treat every figure on this site as a starting point to be verified, not a specification to build from.
