How long an outdoor sauna lasts depends less on the calendar and more on four habits: a level, drained base, a roof that sheds water, drying the room after every session, and regular exterior care. A sauna that stays dry and off wet ground holds up far longer than one left damp.
Five things that shorten a sauna's life
- A base that holds water against the wood.
- No roof, or a tarp that traps moisture.
- Closing the door right after a session.
- Sealing or painting the interior.
- Leaves and debris piled against the walls.
