What Should You Check Before Siting an Outdoor Sauna?
Outdoor saunas need a deliberate relationship to the site. Heater type, weather exposure, ventilation and access can change the local works required.
Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.
Keep ventilation and service access
Do not close the sauna into landscaping or architectural screens without considering airflow, door clearance, maintenance and access to controls or heater components.
Keep wellness language measured
Apollo does not make disease-treatment, detoxification or guaranteed health-outcome claims for sauna products.
