Outdoor saunas in the Tahoe region face unique challenges: heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and high elevation temperature swings. We design outdoor saunas that perform in these conditions while delivering the classic sauna experience. Our design services include layout planning, heater sizing guidance, ventilation design, and a materials list your contractor can use to build with confidence.
You receive build-ready drawings, heater and ventilation guidance, and a complete materials list. We also provide design support during construction to clarify details or update plans as needed. Construction and permits are handled by the licensed contractor you hire directly.
Here's what the build diagrams look like: one drawing per phase, with the rules that hold at any size called out.
Schematic examples drawn on one sample sauna (8' × 12' with a changing room) so the numbers stay consistent. Click any diagram to open it full size.
