FAQ About Outdoor Wet and Dry Heat Saunas

How are outdoor home saunas heated?

  • Just like indoor saunas, outdoor saunas are built with an electric stove sauna heater or a wood burning stove. Heaters usually incorporate a setup of sauna rocks, letting you pour water over them to create steam and consistent heat for each sauna session. ALEKO has classic cabin-style traditional saunas with straight walls, a wood sauna interior with benches at different heights, and a curved person barrel style which enhances efficient heat circulation and dry heat retention.

What are the health benefits of using a sauna?

  • Regular sauna users report that a sauna can help with numerous benefits, including improved sleep, reduced stress, a boosted metabolism, and softer, healthier skin, thanks to the heat therapy of each sauna session — all part of a well-rounded wellness routine. ALEKO has saunas ranging from a compact duo sauna for two, to a spacious five-person sauna, up to 6-8 person capacity, so more friends and families can enjoy your sauna room.

Does a steam sauna room require access to power?

  • It depends. Many outdoor saunas require an electric heater to run — ALEKO's electric models use a Finnish-made Harvia heater for dependable warmth — though some are heated by wood burning sauna stoves. For safety reasons, we recommend working with an electrician when installing an electric-powered sauna.

Why choose an outdoor build over an indoor sauna?

  • Outdoor traditional sauna rooms offer several advantages. Unlike indoor saunas, they can also transform an outdoor space:

Space Saving: They don't take up space inside your home.

Natural Setting: Being outdoors can enhance relaxation at home, offering a more direct connection with nature.

Ventilation: Outdoor settings provide excellent natural ventilation, quickly dissipating steam and heat after a session.

What types of outdoor traditional saunas are available?

  • Saunas come in various shapes at ALEKO, but two main design types are available: outdoor barrel saunas and cube saunas, more commonly known as cabin saunas. Barrel-style saunas are cylindrical in shape, offering efficient heat circulation, while cabin saunas feature a traditional square or rectangular sauna design, often resembling small sheds. Each sauna is constructed with quality materials, elegant design, and reliable heater systems, so you can enjoy a durable sauna built for hot, restorative sessions year-round.

Does ALEKO offer an outdoor infrared sauna?

  • ALEKO’s infrared saunas are currently designed for indoor installation, so if your priority is a sauna built for year-round outdoor space, our traditional outdoor barrel and cabin saunas are the better fit. Some customers create a complete home wellness setup by pairing an indoor infrared sauna with an outdoor traditional sauna, giving you the choice between a traditional or infrared sauna experience depending on the day. ALEKO’s infrared heaters use advanced technology to warm your body directly, offering a gentler heat than a standard sauna heater while still delivering reliable heat performance session after session.

Can I pair my outdoor sauna with a cold plunge?

  • Absolutely. Pairing a sauna session with a cold plunge, also known as contrast therapy, is a great way to build a dedicated wellness space right in your backyard. ALEKO also offers cedar cold plunge tubs, so you can create that full hot-and-cold experience alongside your outdoor sauna. Just be sure to leave enough outdoor space for both units, plus safe clearance for ventilation and drainage.
