What is a wood-fired outdoor sauna?

A wood-fired sauna uses a wood stove for heat, creating an authentic atmosphere and natural experience. The smell of burning wood, the crackling fire and the even warmth make it a unique experience. Ideal for anyone who wants to relax in a natural setting.

Benefits of a wood-fired outdoor sauna 💧

  • Authentic atmosphere: Natural warmth without electricity.
  • Energy-efficient: No high energy costs, just pure wood fire.
  • Coziness: Perfect for an atmospheric evening with friends or family.

An authentic experience with a wood-fired stove

A wood-fired stove is the heart of a traditional sauna. The crackling sound of burning wood, the smell of the fire, and the intense heat instantly bring you into a state of ultimate relaxation. This experience is hard to replicate with an electric heater. For those who value tradition and nature, a sauna is an excellent choice.

Easy to maintain

Outdoor sauna maintenance is often simpler than you'd think. Clean your sauna regularly, check the wood stove and treat the exterior of your sauna once or twice a year with oil or stain. This keeps the wood well protected and ensures it stays looking neat and well-maintained.

Conclusion

A wood-fired sauna is an investment in quality and experience. The process of heating it up adds to the relaxation and calls for involvement: you prepare the fire, wait for the sauna to reach temperature, and then enjoy a warm, cosy moment. For many, this ritual is an essential part of the wellness experience.

What to look out for when buying an outdoor sauna?

When considering the purchase of an outdoor sauna, there are several important factors to keep in mind:

  1. Type of heating: Choose between a traditional wood-fired sauna or an electrically heated sauna.
  2. Location and space: Make sure you have a sturdy, flat surface in your garden, preferably close to the house for easy access and proximity to a shower facility.
  3. Material choice: Opt for durable types of wood such as Thermowood, known for its long lifespan and resistance to weather conditions.
  4. Insulation: A well-insulated sauna with thick walls and double or triple glazing minimises heat loss and increases energy efficiency.
  5. Connections: Make sure you have the necessary electrical connections for the heater and lighting.
  6. Maintenance: Take into account the maintenance of both the interior and exterior of the sauna to extend its lifespan and ensure optimal performance. Read our best tips for maintaining your outdoor sauna
