Outdoor Saunas

Indoor saunas are ideal for seamless integration inside your home—such as in a basement, bathroom, or gym—where temperatures remain stable and access to utilities is easier. Outdoor saunas, on the other hand, provide more freedom with size, design, and placement. They can include scenic windows, rustic finishes, or connections to pools and hot tubs, all while immersing you in the beauty of Colorado’s outdoors. Our outdoor builds are engineered to withstand Denver’s climate, making them a cozy escape whether it’s 90° in summer or snowing in January.

Yes. A stable foundation is critical for safety and longevity. Without it, your sauna can shift, creating long-term issues. Concrete pads are the most secure, but alternatives like gravel bases or reinforced deck platforms can also be effective depending on your space. For example, gravel offers excellent drainage for Colorado’s occasional heavy rains, while deck platforms allow seamless integration with patios or rooftop installations. We’ll evaluate your site and recommend the best foundation for durability and design.

Yes. Our outdoor saunas are specifically built for Colorado’s weather—dry summers, sudden temperature swings, and snowy winters. We use moisture- and heat-resistant woods like cedar and thermowood, reinforced insulation, vented roofing, and weather-sealed finishes. These ensure your sauna retains heat, resists warping, and delivers reliable performance year after year. Unlike many prefabricated units, our custom builds are engineered for Colorado’s high-altitude conditions, giving you a long-lasting retreat no matter the season.

The right spot depends on your property and how you plan to use your sauna. Many Denver homeowners choose backyard patios, poolside areas, or garden corners. Rooftop installations are also popular in urban neighborhoods like LoHi, Capitol Hill, or RiNo. During planning, we consider privacy, sun exposure, wind direction, drainage, and proximity to your home for electrical access. For example, a mountain home in Evergreen may benefit from a sheltered location to block snowdrifts, while a backyard sauna in Centennial might include a walkway or covered porch for easy year-round access.

It depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Electric heaters are reliable and easy to control, making them a top choice for suburban Denver homes. Wood-burning stoves provide an authentic, rustic feel—perfect for mountain cabins or larger properties. Infrared heaters are energy-efficient and gentle, while steam systems create a spa-like atmosphere with added respiratory and skin benefits. We’ll walk you through each option so you can select the one that fits your goals and property best.
