An outdoor sauna is its own small building. That frees up space indoors, but it adds a base, a longer electrical run and weather to plan for. We list 62 outdoor saunas: 28 barrels and 34 cabins.
56 of the 62 outdoor saunas here use a stove, and every one of those needs 240V. We list 6 outdoor infrared saunas. Our infrared vs traditional comparison explains the difference.

Outdoor saunas need a level, solid base. A concrete pad, pavers or a framed deck can work, depending on what the maker's manual allows. The electrical run is usually the biggest variable cost, because it depends on the distance from your panel. Our installation cost guide collects sourced price ranges for both. For two-seat outdoor models, see our 2-person guide, and for groups see the family-size guide.
