Best Outdoor Sauna in WA: Perth Buying Guide
For a Perth or WA home plan around strong afternoon sun, coastal wind and sandy ground. Choose thermally modified timber and a weatherproof roof, then prepare a level base and delivery access.
Perth and the rest of Western Australia bring long sunny days, strong coastal winds and a wide range of sites from city courtyards to large regional blocks. Here is what to plan before you choose an outdoor sauna for a WA home.
Built for the Perth sun
Strong sun dries and weathers exterior timber over time. Every Nova Sauna uses 38mm thermally modified Canadian timber and SAUNAPROTECT™ weatherproof bitumen roof shingles. A quality exterior oil with UV protection keeps the timber looking its best. On a hot afternoon a session in the cooler evening is often the most comfortable.
Coastal, inland and regional WA
Coastal suburbs face salt air and sea breezes. Nova Saunas use 316 stainless steel fittings chosen for rust resistance outdoors. Inland sites see bigger swings between hot days and cold nights. Wherever you are, a firm and level base matters and sandy ground needs a proper slab or a reinforced deck.
Choosing the right size
The 2 person Sauna Lite fits smaller courtyards. The Sauna Cabin, Sauna Cube and Sauna Lodge seat 4, 6 and 8 people.
- Sauna Lite (2 person): 1750mm long, 1290mm wide and 2060mm high
- Sauna Cabin (4 person): 2246mm long, 1740mm wide and 2386mm high
- Sauna Cube (6 person): 2080mm long, 1800mm wide and 2060mm high
- Sauna Lodge (8 person): 2306mm long, 2300mm wide and 2459mm high
Planning delivery access
Your sauna arrives flat packed in a timber crate on a truck with a tail lift. The crate is usually placed in your driveway or wherever access allows. Check the path from the driveway to the build spot before delivery day.
DIY or professional installation
Nova Saunas are designed for DIY assembly with pre-cut interlocking panels and no sawing or cutting. If you would rather have it built for you, our team can recommend installers across Australia. The heater must be connected by a licensed electrician either way.
Unpacking and assembly
Every part arrives clearly labelled with detailed instructions. Lay the panels out on a clean dry surface in the order you will need them and keep the heater and glass door protected until they are fitted.
Council approval and power in WA
Check with your local council whether your sauna needs approval before you order. A licensed electrician must hardwire the heater to your switchboard on a dedicated circuit. Our electrical and installation guide explains what to ask for.
