Custom Outdoor Saunas
Outdoor Sauna Builder in Salt Lake City, Utah
Custom backyard and outdoor saunas planned around your property, Utah's climate, the available footprint, sauna equipment and the way you want to use the space.
Outdoor Sauna Construction
What is a custom outdoor sauna?
A custom outdoor sauna is a purpose-built sauna structure designed for a specific backyard, patio or exterior area. Its dimensions, exterior materials, interior layout, heater and access can be planned around the property rather than a fixed kit.
For Utah projects, placement and exterior construction also need to account for seasonal weather, snow, drainage, access and the utilities required for the sauna.
Built For The Property
An outdoor sauna has to work outside the showroom
The best outdoor sauna is not chosen from appearance alone. We look at where it will sit, how you will reach it, what services are available and how the structure will function throughout the year.

Site Planning
Before we design the sauna, we look at the site
Outdoor projects work best when the structure, utilities and surrounding property are planned together from the beginning.
Placement
Determine where the sauna works best relative to the home, views, privacy and daily access.
Base
Review the surface and support required for the planned sauna structure.
Utilities
Plan for heater power, lighting, controls and other electrical needs before installation begins.
Exposure
Consider weather, water movement, snow and exterior material exposure around the sauna.
Outdoor Sauna Design
From architecture to heat
A custom outdoor sauna gives you control over both the exterior structure and the sauna room inside it. Each decision should support the finished look as well as the way the sauna performs.
Heaters & Equipment
The heater should fit the sauna, not the other way around
We can help source sauna heaters, controls, stones and related equipment for new outdoor builds and qualifying existing sauna projects.
Heater sizing
Room volume, glass area and construction characteristics affect the heating capacity required.
Controls
Control placement and available remote or connected control options can be considered during project planning.
Sauna stones
Appropriate stones and heater configuration are part of the complete heating system.
Lighting
Lighting can be coordinated with bench layout, electrical planning and the desired interior appearance.
