An outdoor sauna is a big purchase, and desert heat adds a few things most buying guides skip. This 2-page PDF walks you through eight checks before you order, with a comparison sheet for up to three models.
What's inside
- Power: what your panel can handle, and when you need an electrician.
- Sun: picking the spot by afternoon shade.
- Base and drainage: foundation requirements and monsoon runoff.
- Wood and UV: protecting the exterior from desert sun.
- HOA and permits.
- Delivery and assembly: gate width, freight and the right season to build.
- The real budget: heater, electrician, pad, shipping and sealant.
- When you'll actually use it.
