What Is a Custom Outdoor Sauna?

A custom outdoor sauna is a freestanding heated structure designed specifically for an exterior area of your property. The size, layout, wood interior, heater, ventilation, windows, seating, and exterior details can all be planned around the site and how you want to use the sauna.

Asheville Custom Saunas designs and builds custom cabin-style and other freestanding outdoor saunas for Asheville and surrounding Western North Carolina communities.

Outdoor sauna projects are planned with Asheville's mountain environment in mind, including humidity, rainfall, winter temperatures, drainage, site exposure, and year-round temperature changes.

Whether the sauna is going beside a deck, pool, hot tub, patio, or wooded section of the property, we develop the sauna-specific design around the available space and your ideas.

What Asheville Homeowners Say

★★★★★

"We hike every weekend and wanted an outdoor sauna for recovery. They built a freestanding cedar sauna on our back deck. The craftsmanship is excellent and it handles the mountain winters perfectly."

Rachel M. Weaverville, NC
★★★★★

"We added a barrel sauna in a wooded corner of our property. The team came out, assessed the site, and had a design back quickly. The build took three days and looks like it has always been there."

Colin T. Asheville, NC
★★★★★

"They built an outdoor sauna next to our hot tub. The cedar quality is great and it holds heat well even in January. We use it year-round. Very happy with how it came out."
