The backyard sauna, done right
The backyard is where most outdoor saunas live, and the profiles here are drawn for its realities: a modest footprint that leaves room for the yard, a short sheltered walk from the house so it actually gets used in winter, and drainage and privacy planned for close neighbours. Most run on a convenient electric heater where a circuit is available, though wood-fired backyard profiles are catalogued too.
Because a backyard sauna is used often and casually, quick warm-up and low running cost matter — which is why a tight, cold-climate insulated envelope and a sensibly sized heater define this group. Browse by capacity to match it to your household, and see the siting guide for placing it where you will use it year-round.
