Backyard Saunas

Your own retreat,
steps from the door.

A backyard sauna turns a corner of your property into a daily ritual. We design around your lot, your sightlines, and how you'll actually use the space — from a quiet single-bench retreat to a full family-sized build.

  • Sized and laid out around your specific yard and access points
  • Wood-fired or electric heat, matched to how you'll use it
  • Exterior finishes selected to complement your home
  • Guidance on site prep, permitting questions, and delivery logistics

In-Home Saunas

Bring the ritual
inside your home.

From a converted basement room to a dedicated build-out, an in-home sauna asks for careful attention to ventilation, moisture control, and finish quality — done right, it feels like it was always part of the house.

  • Basement, spare room, or dedicated addition — we design for your footprint
  • Ventilation and moisture management built in from the start
  • Glass entries and finishes matched to your home's interior
  • Coordinated with your electrician or contractor on power and clearances

Commercial & Hospitality

For gyms, spas,
hotels, and events.

Commercial saunas run harder and longer than a home unit ever will. We build for duty cycle, multi-user capacity, and the accessibility needs of a public space — and we stay involved through install and beyond.

  • Built for continuous, multi-user commercial duty cycles
  • ADA accessible layouts available — see our ADA Accessible Saunas collection
  • Multi-unit installations for gyms, spas, hotels, and wellness venues
  • White-glove delivery and install coordination for your team

How a custom build works

Six steps, from
consult to steam.

01

Consultation

We start with a conversation about your site, your goals, and your build type — backyard, in-home, commercial, or mobile. No pressure, just a chance to understand what you're building toward and whether it's a standard model or something fully custom.

02

Design & quote

We put together a formal QuickBooks estimate covering your exact model, materials, and any custom options — so you know the full scope and cost before committing to anything.

03

Deposit & contract

A $2,500 deposit at checkout holds your build slot. Once the design is finalized, we move to a signed contract and 50% of the total build cost is due.

04

Build

Your sauna is handcrafted in our shop using the materials and construction methods you selected — with careful attention to heat performance, airflow, and long-term durability.

05

Completion payment

When your build is finished and ready to ship, the next 40% of the total is due — bringing your balance to 90% ahead of delivery.

06

Delivery

The final 10% is due on the day of delivery. Ask about Timber White Glove — we coordinate the shipper, the crane or shed mover, and fly out to manage the install ourselves.

Let's design your
custom sauna.

Every custom build starts with a short conversation about your site, your goals, and your timeline. We'll help you figure out what's possible and put it in writing.
