Bring the spa experience outdoors with a custom sauna built to handle Georgia’s hot summers and cool winters**. Whether you want to enhance a backyard in Sandy Springs, add a rooftop retreat in Midtown, or tuck a sauna into a quiet garden corner in Decatur, Atlanta Custom Saunas designs outdoor installations that combine comfort, performance, and lasting durability.
Every outdoor sauna is designed around your property’s layout and lifestyle goals. From preparing the foundation to testing the heater, our team manages the entire process for a seamless experience. Popular upgrades include:
* Covered porches for all-weather use
* Integrated LED lighting
* Built-in sound systems
* Pathways or connections to pools and hot tubs
The result is a resort-style wellness retreat, just steps from your home.
Indoor saunas are great for convenience—ideal for basements, bathrooms, or home gyms—while outdoor saunas offer more freedom in size, style, and placement. Outdoor builds can be larger, feature panoramic windows, or integrate with pools and hot tubs. They also provide a stronger connection to nature and a true escape-from-home feeling. Our outdoor saunas are reinforced to handle Atlanta’s climate, from humid summers to occasional winter chills, so you can enjoy them year-round.
It depends on your property and how you’ll use it. Many Atlanta homeowners choose backyard patios, garden corners, or poolside areas, while city residents often prefer rooftop installations. We consider privacy, sun exposure, drainage, wind, and proximity to electrical access. For example, a Midtown rooftop sauna may require wind protection, while a Roswell backyard sauna could be paired with a covered walkway for year-round comfort. We’ll help you choose the most practical and enjoyable location.
Yes. A stable, level foundation is essential for safety, comfort, and long-term durability. Concrete pads provide maximum support, but depending on your property, gravel bases or reinforced deck platforms can also work. Gravel offers excellent drainage for Atlanta’s heavy summer rains, while a deck platform allows the sauna to blend seamlessly with your existing outdoor living space. During your consultation, we’ll review your site and recommend the best foundation option.
Absolutely. Our outdoor saunas are designed to perform in Atlanta’s hot, humid summers and cooler winters. We build with moisture- and heat-resistant woods such as cedar and thermowood, paired with reinforced insulation, vented roofing, and weather-sealed finishes. Unlike many prefabricated kits that can warp or wear down quickly, our custom builds are engineered to remain strong, efficient, and comfortable for decades—even in the Southeast’s challenging climate.
The right heater depends on your preferences and setup. Electric heaters are reliable and easy to use, perfect for suburban homes in Alpharetta or Marietta. Wood-burning stoves create a rustic, traditional atmosphere and work well on larger properties. Infrared systems offer lower temperatures with energy efficiency, while steam generators provide a spa-like environment with added skin and respiratory benefits. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each system so you can select the one that matches your lifestyle.
