Outdoor Wood Burning Saunas

Questions & answers

• Do I need Planning Permission to build an outdoor sauna on my property?

  It depends on a few factors, including location (e.g., placing the outdoor sauna near a fence), the size, the type of foundation, and the type of heating you’re planning to use. In some instances you will not be required to obtain Planning Permission, however, your Local Planning Authority will have the final word, so it’s a good idea to check in with them sooner rather than later. Until then, do look through our Planning Permission page for a clearer picture, including more technical information.

• What is the recommended insulation for an outdoor sauna?

  Even though insulating an outdoor sauna is not mandatory, we recommend adding insulation to your purchase if you’d like the outdoor sauna to heat up quicker and stay heated for longer. Moreover, the black alder finish that comes with the insulation package has a smoother texture, which is better in the long-term than the usual conifer timber finish. If you’re thinking about opting for insulation, we’d be happy to consult you at 02070994301!

• What kind of foundation does an outdoor sauna need?

  We recommend choosing the concrete foundation for your outdoor sauna. This base is sturdy and provides an even foundation, which is essential for any wooden building. To find out more about our offered bases, please have a look at the Foundation page.

• Do you have outdoor saunas with a changing room and a shower included?

  The assortment at Quick-garden.co.uk includes numerous different outdoor sauna models, including ones with terraces, relaxation spots, halls, dedicated bathrooms with showers, and more! You can check these models out and if you decide you’d like to add something to one of them or make any other kind of change, ring us up at 02070994301 and we’ll make a custom offer for you!

• What is included in the outdoor sauna kit?

  The price of the outdoor sauna includes the wooden construction with floor bearers, sauna beds, doors, windows, and 20 mm thickness floors (except the sauna room, which includes sauna grids instead). You can also choose to add accessories, such as the insulation package, roof coverings, a heater, and more. If you have any additional queries about the payment methods themselves, have a look at the Payment page.

• Are heaters included in the outdoor sauna kit?

  We offer two types of Harvia heaters as extra accessories: electric and wood burning ones. Harvia 20 Pro and Harvia 20 SL are better choices for the bigger outdoor saunas, while the smaller models would be better off with Harvia M3 and Harvia M3 SL heaters. These devices would be the smart and perfectly sufficient accessory to choose. If you have any further questions, just give us a call at 02070994301!

• What’s the difference between Harvia and Harvia SL wood heaters?

  The Harvia SL model can be installed into the wall, which means that the heater can be used from different rooms. It’s an option that adds convenience to the already aesthetically pleasing appearance and superb efficiency.

• What’s the safe distance between the heater and the wooden wall?

  300 mm is considered to be the safe distance between the heater and the wall of the outdoor sauna, which is why we recommend considering adding the protective fence to your purchase. It features heat resistant CETRIS discs that will help keep the experience of heating up the outdoor sauna safe and convenient. You can find all our offered accessories in the product page.

• How long does it take to heat up the outdoor sauna and how long does it stay heated?

  It depends on whether the outdoor sauna is insulated or not and what type of heating method is used to heat it up. In short, a wood burner can heat up the outdoor sauna in 1 to 2 hours, and an electric heater can do so in 2 to 4 hours. You can expect the insulated model to stay hot for 2 hours or more, while the uninsulated version would need constant heating to be able to maintain the needed temperature. Still curious? Find out more about our insulation and its benefits on our Insulation page.

• What is the delivery time and price for an outdoor sauna?

  Our delivery is fast and reliable – you can expect a product that’s in stock to be delivered in just 1 to 2 weeks! The outdoor sauna that’s not in stock and any bespoke projects may take longer, but all about that, the cost of delivery and more can be found on our Delivery page. When it comes to the price, it depends on the model, as bigger outdoor saunas need more wood to produce, and the smaller ones are more cost-efficient. Head over to our Payment page to see all the ways that these outdoor saunas can be paid for.

• Is it complicated to assemble an outdoor sauna by myself?

  It’s not a complicated process at all – if you’re crafty, you can assemble the outdoor sauna yourself. The assembly instructions will be delivered with your purchase, and the parts will be numbered accordingly. However, please keep in mind that there are some parts that you will have to cut to size yourself, e.g., the sauna beds, the wooden finish, and similar. If you’d like to leave this to the experts, check out our professional Assembly service offer!

• How long does an outdoor sauna last?

  Each of our outdoor saunas come with a 5 year warranty. However, with proper and timely construction maintenance, you can expect a much longer lifespan for your newly built structure. Please check our Product maintenance page to learn more about ensuring your outdoor sauna’s structural longevity.
