This unique type of sauna provides a special experience and combines the relaxation of the sauna with the closeness to nature of being outdoors.

What is an outdoor sauna?

If you are interested in relaxation and well-being, an outdoor sauna may be just the thing for you.

An outdoor sauna allows you to enjoy the natural surroundings while experiencing the health benefits of a sauna.

An outdoor sauna can come in a variety of styles and sizes, from traditional wooden saunas to modern designs with glass fronts. The location of your outdoor sauna is crucial to your sauna experience - choose a spot with privacy and a beautiful view to make the most of your time in the sauna.

Also think about proper ventilation and insulation to ensure a pleasant sauna climate. It is also important to adjust the sauna temperature and duration according to your own needs in order to make the most of the positive effects on body and mind.

An outdoor sauna offers you the opportunity to relax, relieve stress and rejuvenate your body - all in a natural and inspiring environment.

The advantages of an outdoor sauna compared to an indoor sauna

Unlike the indoor sauna, the outdoor sauna offers unique benefits for the body and mind.

The natural surroundings and fresh air allow you to breathe deeper and relax even more intensely. The connection to nature during a sauna session can reduce stress and invigorate the senses.

In addition, the outdoor sauna allows for a more intensive sauna experience by alternating between hot sauna sessions and refreshing cool downs outside, for example in a “ cold tub ”.

After your sauna, take time to relax outside in the fresh air and enjoy nature.

An outdoor sauna not only offers you the traditional benefits of a sauna, but also the opportunity to become one with nature and experience complete relaxation.

This is what you should pay attention to when choosing the location for your outdoor sauna

Choosing the right location for your outdoor sauna is crucial to the ultimate sauna experience. Here are some important points to consider when choosing a location:

Privacy: Make sure your outdoor sauna is in a place that offers enough privacy. Nobody wants to be disturbed by prying eyes while taking a sauna.

Safety: Make sure the location of your outdoor sauna is safe. Make sure the floor is level and stable to avoid accidents. The distance from flammable materials should also be considered for safety reasons.

View: Choose a location with a pleasant view, be it of your garden, nature or a beautiful view. A calming environment contributes to the relaxing effect of the sauna.

Accessibility: Make sure your outdoor sauna is easily accessible, both for yourself and guests. A short walk from your home to the sauna is ideal to maximize comfort.

Protection from wind and weather: Consider whether your outdoor sauna is protected from strong winds by trees, bushes or other buildings. A sheltered location ensures that you can enjoy your sauna all year round.

These points should help you choose the perfect location for your outdoor sauna. Remember that the environment will play a major role in your sauna experience, so take your time to find the ideal spot.

Important tips for the care and maintenance of your outdoor sauna

Regular and proper care is essential for optimal functionality and longevity of your outdoor sauna.

Start by cleaning the sauna room and benches to remove dirt and sweat residue. It is best to use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Also make sure to regularly clean the sauna accessories such as the bucket, ladle and thermometer.

Another important aspect of sauna care is the regular inspection and maintenance of the technical components such as the heater, control unit and ventilation system. Regularly check all connections for leaks and ensure that the sauna is well ventilated to prevent mold growth.

Also remember to treat the wood of your outdoor sauna regularly to protect it from the elements.

With these care tips, you can ensure that your outdoor sauna is always in optimal condition and offers you long-lasting relaxation.

Safety aspects surrounding the use of an outdoor sauna

Safety is the top priority when using an outdoor sauna to ensure carefree relaxation.

If you use your outdoor sauna regularly, you should always make sure that the sauna area is clear of obstacles to avoid tripping hazards. Make sure that the floor around the sauna is not slippery so that you can get in and out safely.

In addition, it is important that you allow enough time to cool down after entering the sauna to avoid overheating.

Also, always bring enough water with you to the sauna to regulate your fluid levels. Remember that alcohol and saunas do not mix, as alcohol can put a strain on your circulation.

With these simple safety measures, you can enjoy your outdoor sauna without any worries and fully relax.

For a safe and stable installation of the outdoor sauna, a flat, paved area in your garden is essential.
