Lowers Stroke Risk

Plenty of studies have shown that an outside sauna can lead to great improvements in cardio health, which also reduces the chances of getting a stroke.

Healthier Immune System

Using a garden sauna is a fantastic way to improve your immune system, as research has shown it activates your immune system and leads to your body producing more white blood cells.

Less Muscle Soreness

Just finished a challenging workout? Spent the whole day doing manual labour at work or home?

Say goodbye to muscle soreness the next day! Use your garden sauna to reduce muscle soreness, and ensure you can go again at the same intensity the next day.

Better Breathing

Research has shown that regularly using a garden sauna can greatly reduce wheezing and help people breathe more easily.

The heat and humidity help loosen phlegm, improve airways, and lower stress.

Improved Well-Being

Many regular outdoor sauna users say a wooden sauna is fantastic for relaxation and improved well-being.

Garden Sauna

The most common type of garden sauna comes as part of a summer house. Utilise the entire summer house as a home spa, capitalising on a veranda in the hot weather or relaxing on the sofa inside when the weather turns.

Outdoor Barrel Sauna

If you are short on space or want an outdoor sauna without the additional features, garden barrel saunas might be the option for you.

A barrel garden sauna is much smaller than a normal outdoor sauna but uses the same system as normal outdoor saunas.

Quality is Key

Think about it this way. By investing in a high-quality outdoor sauna, you will not have to do as much maintenance in the future to ensure it keeps working.

Lower-quality outdoor saunas require more maintenance and costs down the line.

All of our outdoor saunas and barrel saunas are made to the best possible quality to ensure your outdoor sauna can withstand all the elements.

Prep your sauna

Before you use your garden sauna for the first time, ensure it is prepared properly. Ensure each wooden surface is treated and ready to do. At Summer House 24, we provide our saunas with all the timber pre-treated to ensure the moisture does not lead to rotting.

Wipe down every surface and ensure your sauna is dry and clean before use. Next, set your sauna at the maximum temperature for an hour, then pour a litre of water onto the stones to ensure they are clean.

Keep it clean

Occasional sweeping, wiping, and vacuuming will ensure your outdoor sauna remains in top condition.

If you don’t use your outdoor sauna regularly, it is best you clean it before each use. Cleaning it regularly will prevent mould and other issues that can damage your sauna.

Take precautions

When you invest in an outdoor sauna, you want to look and feel new for as long as possible. Therefore you should take precautions such as washing your feet before entering and sitting on a towel, for example.

When you are done using your sauna, wipe down the floor and seating area, and let the sauna dry before closing it.

Heaters

Looking after your heater is pretty straightforward. Ensure you rinse out the rocks before placing them in the wood stove heater, as this will remove any small particles and prevent them from getting into the mechanisms and damaging your sauna.

If cared for properly, you shouldn’t need to do any maintenance on your heater for many years.
