Outdoor Saunas

Yes. A stable, level foundation is essential for long-term safety and performance. While concrete pads are the most durable, other options like paver bases or reinforced deck platforms also work well depending on your space. For example, a gravel bed allows excellent drainage in areas prone to heavy summer rain, while deck-mounted saunas pair beautifully with poolside or lanai layouts. During your consultation, we’ll inspect your site and recommend the foundation type that best supports your design and Florida’s unique weather conditions.

Placement depends on your property and how you plan to use your sauna. Many Tampa homeowners choose poolside patios, garden corners, or lanai extensions, while coastal residents often install saunas near docks or under covered verandas for privacy and shade.

We consider key factors like sun exposure, drainage, ventilation, and electrical access to help you choose the perfect spot. For instance, a backyard sauna in Wesley Chapel may need UV protection, while one in Clearwater might require extra ventilation for coastal humidity. We’ll tailor your layout for both comfort and convenience.

Indoor saunas are built into existing rooms for convenience and year-round use, often located in bathrooms, gyms, or converted spaces. Outdoor saunas, on the other hand, offer more freedom in size, style, and connection to nature. They can feature panoramic windows, tropical landscaping, and integrated seating areas—perfect for Tampa’s warm evenings.

Outdoor saunas are also built with weather-resistant insulation, treated wood, and sealed finishes to handle Florida’s sun, humidity, and coastal breezes. Many homeowners choose outdoor saunas for their open-air ambiance and easy access from pools or patios.

It depends on your preferences and property setup. Electric heaters are the most popular across Tampa for their ease of use and consistent performance. Infrared systems offer lower energy consumption and gentle heat—great for daily relaxation. Steam systems create a spa-like environment, promoting detoxification and skin hydration.

For those seeking a traditional feel, wood-burning heaters can be installed in rural or large-lot properties where ventilation and fire codes allow. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each heating type to help you select the perfect system for your wellness goals.
