A simple, clear process for bringing an outdoor sauna into your home
Your sauna is made to order in Britain and installed with a straightforward process from first enquiry to first use.
Choosing a sauna for your home should feel clear and manageable. People often imagine the installation process is complicated, but we have designed each step to be simple and well supported. From your first message to the moment you sit inside your own sauna, everything is planned to remove uncertainty and make things easy.
Every sauna is built to order in the UK using solid materials and a traditional timber frame. You can add the features you want, such as Bluetooth audio, WiFi controls or an outdoor shower, and we’ll guide you through all the practical steps, including electrics and groundwork. The aim is to give you a sauna that suits your space, your goals and how you plan to use heat throughout the year.
This page explains the full outdoor sauna installation process so you know exactly what to expect.
Our process
Your initial enquiry
You get in touch and we start by understanding what you want the sauna to support. This is a simple conversation about your routine, your goals and how you imagine using heat, whether that is for recovery, sleep, stress or long term wellbeing.
It helps us design a sauna that fits naturally into the way you live. A sauna is most valuable when it becomes a steady part of the week, so we begin by understanding what you want it to add to your life.
Designing your sauna
Once we understand your space and goals, we prepare your sauna specification. This includes interior details and any custom additions such as:
- Bluetooth speakers
- WiFi control system
- Outdoor shower
- Lighting preferences
- Additional shelving or seating
- Exterior electrical points
Your sauna is built to order so that it’s completely personal, practical and aligned with how you want to use heat in your routine.
Building your sauna
Your sauna is crafted by our team using a traditional timber frame, insulated walls and thermo treated interior wood chosen for stability and heat durability.
Each sauna is built section by section to ensure proper fit, insulation and heat retention.
When a sauna is made properly, it performs properly. The heat feels even. The space lasts for years. And the experience is something you look forward to, not something you need to maintain constantly.
Delivery and installation
Your sauna is delivered to your home in pre-built panels and assembled on site by our team. Installation usually takes one day. We handle positioning, fitting, sealing and setup so the structure is ready for use when we leave.
You won’t need to coordinate multiple trades. Everything is managed by our team, and the process is professional, tidy and quick.
Preparing your base and electrics
If you are working with a contractor, we can communicate directly with them to make the process easier.
Preparing a solid base ensures the sauna sits securely and works efficiently. Getting the electrics right ensures safe and reliable heat without slow warm-up times.
Understanding your outdoor space
Knowing the position early helps us confirm orientation, distance from boundaries and any groundwork needed for a stable base. This removes guesswork and ensures the sauna looks settled and natural in your garden.
First use and ongoing support
A sauna becomes part of your routine more easily when you understand how to use it well. And if you ever need help, we are always here.
Our materials
Built with materials chosen for long term performance
A sauna is only as good as the materials it is made from. We choose each component for how it behaves in heat, how it ages and how it feels when you sit inside. Nothing is added for effect. Everything is selected because it improves the experience and the lifespan of the sauna.
Thermo aspen is a heat treated hardwood that stays stable at higher temperatures and remains smooth to the touch over time. It resists warping, handles moisture changes well and creates a calm, natural atmosphere inside the sauna. The treatment process also removes resin and improves the wood’s durability, which means it performs reliably through daily use.
We use thermo aspen for the interior walls, benches and finishing details so the space feels clean, balanced and comfortable to sit in during longer sessions.
Do I need planning permission for an outdoor sauna?
Most outdoor saunas fall under permitted development in the UK, provided they stay under height limits and are placed appropriately. We help you confirm this for your property.
How long does a custom outdoor sauna take to build?
Once your specification is confirmed, the build process typically takes a few weeks. We will give you a clear timeline before work begins.
What groundwork do I need for a garden sauna?
For the foundations, it’s important to raise the sauna off the ground to allow airflow and protect against moisture. This is achieved using concrete columns, installed on a level base (concrete pad, paving slabs, or decking).
What electrical supply is required?
Depending on the stove size, either single-phase or three-phase electricity will be required. We provide the exact specifications for your chosen electrician.
Can I customise the sauna?
Yes. You can add Bluetooth speakers, WiFi controls, an outdoor shower and other practical features. All saunas are built to order and designed around your lifestyle.
How is the sauna delivered and installed?
Installation typically takes one day. Depending on the sauna model selected and site access, the sauna will either be assembled on site or delivered fully constructed and installed in position.
Can I use the sauna all year round?
Yes. The insulation, timber and heating system are chosen to perform reliably through all seasons in the UK.
A made to order sauna delivered with a clear process
Once we understand your goals and your outdoor space, everything else follows naturally. Your sauna is built in the UK, installed by our team and ready to use within a day of delivery. The entire process is designed to feel clear, steady and free of hassle.
