Saunas With Verandas

Outdoor Saunas with Verandas

Bringing together comfort, practicality, and a traditional charm into one space, the addition of a veranda to your sauna offers not only a place to unwind and relax, but also a logistical, organised area that you can utilise in any way you desire.

Built from durable, weather-proof materials and offering a sheltered space to protect you from all weather conditions, a veranda offers a clean and dry area to your sauna, adding practicality and versatility to the area.

Heating options

Electric Heaters

Electrical heaters offer efficiency and reliability with minimal effort, requiring only a power connection to get your sauna up and running.

Pros:

• Simplicity in set-up, requiring only a mains connection and no additional heating materials
• Quick to heat up (between 15-30 mins)
• Once set up, maintenance is minimal
• Ability to control the intensity of the heat by turning the electric dial

Cons:

• Overall increase in running costs
• Connecting the heater to the mains requires a professional installation at further cost
• Loss of the traditional ‘wood-burning’ sauna aesthetic
• May require electrical replacement parts over time

Traditional wood-burning stoves

For a rustic, wood-fired sauna experience, a wood-burning stove is the perfect choice for those wanting to recreate the ambience and feeling of a traditional sauna.

Pros:

• No electricity required
• Sauna omits a natural, more comfortable heat
• Rustic feeling and setup from lighting firewood and tending to the stove

Cons:

• Requires cleaning and disposal of ash
• Temperature control can be more demanding, requiring additional firewood to reach the desired heat
• Requires professional installation of a chimney chute

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of having a veranda attached to the sauna?

A veranda not only offers a convenient space to relax and unwind, but also saves you time and energy from going back and forth to your home to grab any of your belongings. Time saving aside, this extra space also offers organisation, where you can store any sauna equipment, firewood, and extra towels that can be immediately accessed at the entrance of the sauna.

Do I need a flat or concrete base for a sauna with a veranda?

If the proposed land is already flat and is deemed suitable to accommodate the sauna’s size and drainage needs, a concrete base is not necessary. However, if a safe, stable base is required, then either a concrete base, a decking platform or a compacted gravel base is necessary to meet the requirements for building your sauna.

Do you offer professional installation, or can it be self-assembled?

Our saunas are designed with simple, self-assembly in mind, and come with a comprehensive instruction guide to safely assemble your sauna to the highest specification.

We do, however, offer full home installation with our fully trained staff, giving you more time to relax and enjoy all the benefits of your new sauna.

Is it safe to use the veranda area immediately after a sauna session?

All our verandas are specifically designed for immediate use after exiting the sauna, offering you a safe and clean area to cool down, adjust your body temperature, and enjoy the fresh air. 

Overall, verandas are deemed a safe alternative to entering and exiting your home after use of the sauna, and a much healthier alternative to sitting on other outdoor surfaces which have a significant temperature difference.

Are the veranda and sauna both weatherproof?

Yes, absolutely. All of our saunas are built with solid log construction and come with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, sourcing high-quality materials such as aspen wood, known for its resistance to mould, damp, moisture and its low heat-conduction.
