Tide sauna overview

The Tide is a compact outdoor sauna created for people who want a beautifully built sauna without needing a large garden footprint. Designed to seat up to three people, it is ideal for individual routines, couples, smaller households and outdoor spaces where simplicity and proportion matter.

Its side exterior access gives the Tide a different rhythm to our larger models. Rather than moving through a changing area, you step in from a small deck space designed for practical use before and after each session. Wall hooks provide a simple place for towels and robes, keeping the layout clean, useful and easy to live with.

The Tide has a more minimal architectural profile, with a flat Corten weathering steel roof and exposed roof structure giving it a distinctive finish. The wooden floor brings warmth and softness, while the choice of wood-fired or electric heating allows you to shape the sauna around the way you want to use it.

Designed for compact living, quiet rituals and year-round use, the Tide is a refined option for those who want a smaller sauna that still feels carefully considered.

Dimensions & materials

The Tide measures 2.2m long by 2.2m wide, with an overall height of 2.5m. Its dimensions make it well suited to gardens, terraces, courtyards and private outdoor spaces where a larger sauna may not be practical.

Inside, the sauna is finished in thermo aspen, chosen for its smooth feel, stability and suitability for high-temperature environments. It gives the interior a clean, calm and natural finish, helping the compact space feel warm, refined and comfortable during use.

The wooden floor adds a softer, more traditional feel underfoot. It keeps the interior simple and warm, while complementing the timber seating and cladding throughout the sauna.

Externally, the Tide has a distinctive flat roof finished in Corten weathering steel. Over time, Corten develops a natural weathered surface, giving the roof a rich, architectural character that continues to evolve as it settles into its outdoor setting. The exposed roof structure adds further depth and detail, making the Tide feel more considered than a standard compact sauna.

The Tide can be specified with either a wood-fired or electric heater. A wood-fired heater gives a more hands-on ritual and traditional sauna atmosphere, while an electric heater offers a simpler routine with easier day-to-day control.

Before production begins, we will confirm your heater choice, installation requirements, access and base preparation to make sure the sauna is right for your space.

``We chose True North because we wanted something well made. The Sola felt right for our space, and seeing it installed confirmed we made the right call. The craftsmanship is excellent and the finish is premium. We’ve only just had it installed and already find ourselves standing back and admiring it. It’s a beautiful piece.``

Frequently asked questions

Whether you are unsure about planning, would like support with installation or have specific questions, we’re on hand to help.

Do I need planning permission for a sauna?

Most outdoor saunas fall within permitted development. We help you check this based on your garden and local guidance.

Can I choose between a wood-fired and electric heater?

Yes. The Tide is available with either a wood-fired or electric heater. Wood-fired heating gives a more traditional sauna ritual, while electric heating offers a more convenient and controlled experience.

What is Corten weathering steel?

Corten is a weathering steel that develops a natural protective surface over time. This gives the roof a rich, weathered appearance and a distinctive architectural finish.

What groundwork is required?

A level base such as decking, slabs or concrete, and a three phase electrical supply. We guide you through everything.

How long does installation take?

Installation usually takes one day. Your sauna arrives in pre built panels and our team assembles it on site.

Can I customise the sauna?

Yes. You can add Bluetooth audio, WiFi controls, an outdoor shower, lighting options and other practical features. Every sauna is made to order.

Can I use the sauna throughout the year?

Yes. The materials and insulation are chosen for year round British weather.

Is maintenance difficult?

No. A small amount of exterior care and occasional checks on the stove are usually all that is needed.
