Outdoor Infrared Saunas

Can you put an infrared sauna outside?

An infrared sauna can stand outside when its maker builds it for outdoor use, and SunRay builds the five cabins in this collection as outdoor saunas: each is weather-sealed under a metal composite roof.

An outdoor infrared sauna here comes with its heat source built in: the infrared heaters are on SunRay's list of what its outdoor cabins include, and there is no heater package to pick on any of the five. For full spectrum heat rather than far infrared, look at full spectrum infrared saunas, and check whether a model there is made for outdoor use before you plan it for the yard.

Choose an outdoor infrared cabin for infrared heat in the backyard. If pouring water on hot stones is part of the sauna you want, start with outdoor traditional saunas instead.

Outdoor infrared saunas compared

Outdoor infrared saunas here narrow down by seats first, then by the power the site can supply:

• Two people: start with the Burlington or the Logan. SunRay sells the Burlington as a 2-person sauna and rates the Logan for two.
• Three people: start with the Grandby, which SunRay rates for three.
• Four people: choose between the Cayenne and the Pacific, both rated by SunRay for four.
• Power at the site: SunRay lists the Burlington and Grandby at 110–120 V and the Logan and Pacific at 220–240 V, so rule out the Logan and Pacific where a 240 V circuit cannot be added. For the Cayenne, ask Topture which supply to plan for.

Outdoor infrared sauna checklist: base, space, power, assembly and upkeep

• Base: an outdoor infrared cabin here needs a prepared base. For the Burlington, Grandby and Cayenne, SunRay's D3 manual calls for a level surface, with pavers, a concrete pad or a wooden deck as its examples; on a damp site, or where the floor rests on pavers or other ground-contact surfaces, a waterproof barrier goes between the sauna floor and that surface. The Logan and Pacific follow SunRay's D6 Series Assembly Manual instead, which asks for a sturdy level surface, for example a concrete pad, a wood deck or another solid surface, and says never to place them directly on the ground.
• Space: each cabin in this collection covers more ground at its roof than at its walls. SunRay lists a roof footprint larger than the cabin itself, such as 88 by 82 inches for the Pacific's roof over a 72 by 62 inch cabin, so plan the site around each model's roof footprint rather than its cabin size.
• Power: an outdoor infrared cabin here needs a supply it shares with nothing else. SunRay's D3 manual says the Burlington, Grandby and Cayenne must be connected to a dedicated power outlet that no other appliance shares, and its D6 manual says the Logan and Pacific must be installed on a dedicated electrical circuit, so plan that outlet or circuit before the cabin arrives. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the sauna's manual and your local code.
• Assembly: every cabin in this collection ships as a panel kit. SunRay assembles each of its saunas at the factory first and takes it apart for shipping; on site, two people put the pre-built panels back together with a Phillips screwdriver or a drill fitted with a Phillips bit. SunRay puts four of the five at about two hours, and its spec sheet gives the Logan about one to two hours with two adults.
• Wood and upkeep: SunRay builds its outdoor infrared cabins here from Canadian hemlock, aged Canadian hemlock on the Logan, and its D3 and D6 manuals say to reseal or repaint the exterior every year.

Outdoor infrared sauna temperature and warm-up

The five cabins here reach up to 140°F, SunRay says, and its two manuals split them on warm-up: the D3 manual allows approximately 8–15 minutes for the Burlington, Grandby and Cayenne to warm up before a session, and the D6 manual approximately 30 minutes for the Logan and Pacific. For the shorter warm-up, choose one of the three D3 cabins.

Outdoor infrared sauna prices and delivery

Outdoor infrared saunas in this collection run from $3,790 for the Burlington to $5,190 for the Pacific, and freight within the contiguous United States is included on all five. They travel by freight to a curbside delivery appointment, so raise site-access questions before you order, and budget beyond the price for the base and any new outlet or circuit.

Topture is an authorized SunRay Saunas retailer, and its full-value freight protection covers every outdoor infrared cabin in this collection: if a box arrives damaged, write it on the Bill of Lading at delivery and the broken parts are replaced. Warranty coordination, financing and the rest of buying from Topture are set out on the infrared saunas page.

Next steps for an outdoor infrared sauna: size, guide or expert help

Three routes lead from an outdoor infrared sauna here to a decision:

• Two people weighing infrared against other heat: 2 person outdoor saunas also lists the Burlington and Logan.
• Looking for a recommendation rather than a table: the infrared sauna buyer's guide sets out how to pick one.
• Not sure the roof fits the space or which supply a cabin needs: ask Topture's Lifetime Expert Support before you order.
