Our Core Purpose
Better Backyard Store exists to make the daily reset something you can walk out your back door and find waiting. Heat, cold, steam, and quiet — the practices people have leaned on for centuries, built into the space you already own.
We carry saunas, cold plunge tubs, and steam from manufacturers who build this equipment for a living. Not the cheapest cabinet that will make it through one winter, but the kind of cedar, stainless, and stone that still looks right in a decade. Every model we list, we can explain: what it draws, what it needs underneath it, and who it actually suits.
Choosing one is where most people get stuck, and that is the part we are good at. Tell us your room dimensions, your electrical, and how you plan to use it, and we will spec it properly — or tell you honestly when a smaller unit is the better call.
Common Questions
Most traditional saunas require a 220–240V hardwired connection on a dedicated breaker, sized to the heater's output. You'll also want a separate 120V circuit for lighting and controls. Infrared cabins are the exception — many run on a standard 120V outlet. A licensed electrician must handle the wiring, and we'll confirm the exact amperage and wire gauge for your model before you order.
A level, load-bearing surface. A concrete pad is ideal, though a properly reinforced deck or compacted gravel base can work depending on the model and your climate. Confirm the exact footprint and weight against the manufacturer's documentation before you pour — we'll send you the specs.
Heater output is matched to the room's interior volume, then adjusted for glass area, insulation, and whether the sauna sits indoors or outdoors. As a rough guide, most residential rooms land between 6kW and 9kW. Tell us your dimensions and we'll spec it properly — an undersized heater never reaches temperature, and an oversized one wastes power and dries the room out.
Most units ship free within the contiguous US. Lead times vary by manufacturer and model, typically two to six weeks from order. Larger units ship by curbside freight on an appointment basis, and we'll coordinate the delivery window with you.
Sauna cabins arrive by freight, often on multiple pallets. The driver delivers curbside only and is not responsible for moving the unit onto your property, so plan for two or more people to receive it. Inspect the crates before signing — note any damage on the delivery receipt and report it to us within 24 hours so we can file a claim.
Orders can be cancelled before they ship. Once shipped, returns are accepted within 30 days on unused product in original packaging; return freight and a restocking fee apply. Backordered items cancelled after the order is placed carry a small cancellation fee. Full terms are in our Refund & Return Policy.

Excellent Hot Tub - Sturdy and good looking
Traded a leaky Aleko tub for the SaunaLife Model S4 and couldn't be happier. Arrived in a week, well crated, running the same day. Two of us rolled it into the yard on PVC pipe and had the stove and chimney together in 45 minutes. Bring a metal drill bit for the chimney guide holes. Great first soak.
Easy Build & Great Support
Working with Better Backyard Store could not be easier. Wonderful staff and knowledgable!! Shipping was good and build went pretty smooth. When we had questions they were on it with help! I fully recommend them to all of our friends!!!
Looks Even Better in Person
This sauna is amazing! In comparing different saunas before my purchase, this stood out for its high quality materials and great looks. I've been very happy with it so far and the support from Better Backyard was excellent
First-Class Guidance
Of all the people I spoke with the Better Backyard team was most knowledgeable and helpful. They understood the tradeoffs and patiently worked though the different options with me.
Basement Sauna Win
Had my SaunaLife CL4G for a few weeks now. Put it in the basement and left the trim off. liked it plain. Using it 3-4x a week and love it. The reviews had me worried about assembly, but it took me about a day solo and wasn't bad at all.
GREAT home sauna but heavy front glass panel !!
Easy, quick assembly with three people. The glass front is very heavy (around 220 lbs) but fits through a standard door. Heats well, looks great. Steep temperature gradient, so I insulated the top. Wiring the 8kW heater was tricky since internal bridging was required. Great value, would buy again.
You should get this!
The setup was pretty straight forward and it's made of high quality materials. Really enjoying the sauna!
I have no regrets.
I am beyond satisfied with my purchase! From ordering to delivery to assembly, no hassles at all. The few questions I did have were answered promptly! Thank you all very much
Can't get over it!
The process was very smooth. Shipping was quick. All the items were labeled for an easy build. An updated manual or video specifically for each Sauna would make it even easier. 8kw heater install to the panel was simple! Thanks again!
Oh My!
So far it is excellent. My wife and I built this sauna in about 5 hours including the roofing, We are very pleased with this sauna. I don't think there is a better sauna out there for this price.
Love it!
The quality of the materials, especially the exterior cladding and glass front, exceeded my expectations. It heats up quickly, retains heat very well, and has become our favorite place to relax after a long day. The installation process was smooth, and the finished product looks even better in person. Highly recommend!
