Which sauna is suitable for your balcony?

In principle, any sauna is suitable for a balcony. This does depend on the size of your balcony and the strength of the construction. When choosing a sauna for your balcony, it is important to look at the different models and their weights.

Weight of a balcony sauna

Our saunas are produced with care and attention. That means they are not only unique and of high quality, but also durable and tailored to your needs. Whether you are looking for a mini sauna for your balcony for a cozy balcony or a slightly more spacious model, we have a solution that fits.

An important point to consider is the weight of a sauna. Our outdoor saunas are designed to be compact, yet spacious enough for optimal enjoyment. The exact weight varies by model, but it is crucial to check if your balcony can support the total weight (including users).

Are you in doubt about this? Then we recommend calling in a construction specialist or contacting your contractor. They can assess whether your balcony is suitable and what modifications might be needed.

Benefits of having a sauna on your balcony

  • Don't have a garden? No problem! Even on your balcony you can enjoy a sauna
  • You can choose the right size for the size of your balcony
  • You have wellness at your fingertips

Our barrel sauna: The Tønsauna

Barrel saunas provide optimal relaxation and freedom. With a barrel sauna you never have to visit a wellness resort again, you just have this in your own backyard. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life was rarely so accessible and close at hand. Carefree relaxation and letting time slip by is then not difficult at all, in a barrel sauna it happens all by itself.

What to consider when installing a balcony sauna?

Putting a sauna on your balcony requires good preparation. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Electricity: For example, if you opt for an electric heater or as soon as there are lights in your sauna, a well-placed power supply is necessary.
  • Privacy: You can choose none, half or a whole panorama window if you have a lovely view you can enjoy during your sauna session. Privacy is also an important issue and you can further dress your balcony with plants, for example, for extra privacy.
  • Surface: Make sure you have a solid surface that is level. Check if your balcony is sturdy enough by hiring a construction specialist for this if necessary.

How do you place a sauna on your balcony?

Installing a sauna on your balcony is easy with a good plan. We'll guide you step by step:

  • Check regulations: See if there are any restrictions from your CoE or housing association.
  • Choose the right model: An outdoor sauna with dressing room or just a smaller model that fits better. Also put it together completely according to your own wishes.
  • Get a solid foundation: Have a specialist check the load-bearing capacity of your balcony.
  • Install carefully: Our saunas are easy to install through a do-it-yourself package, but we can also build the sauna completely at your home. Just what your preference is.
  • Enjoy: Once everything is ready, you can enjoy your own wellness space. Warm up, relax and enjoy!

Countless possibilities for your outdoor sauna

Our Tønsaunas are made for you to relax. Take a seat on the wooden benches, lean back, stretch your legs and enjoy the warmth of the sauna heater.

With an outdoor sauna from Welvaere , you are guaranteed comfort, simplicity and masterful quality. We therefore make every sauna completely to your specifications. For example, you choose whether you want a panorama window, LED lighting or comfort furnishings.

This is what the ideal sauna session looks like

The ideal sauna routine consists of eight steps:

  1. Step into the sauna fresh and clean by showering first;
  2. Make sure you are thoroughly dry, never step into the sauna wet;
  3. Take a warm foot bath so your body can prepare;
  4. Step into the sauna with a session of up to 15 minutes with or without soaking;
  5. Let the cooler outdoor air cool your body gently;
  6. Cool off under a rain shower, note always cool slowly toward your heart;
  7. Take enough rest and drink plenty of water;
  8. Another round? Then repeat the steps.

The electric sauna heaters

Convenience, fast heat and practicality. Three words that perfectly describe our electric sauna heaters. During dinner, you make sure the heater is turned on and the moment you want to relax in the sauna, it is warm. How nice is that?

The electric sauna heaters from HUUM and Harvia all give you the opportunity to organize your own infusion. Because the heaters contain enough stones and because of the round shape of the sauna, you can have a perfectly fragrant infusion. And this can be done at home, always on power.

These are our electric sauna heaters:

  • HUUM Hive Electric
  • Harvia Cilindro
  • Harvia Vega

Wood-fired sauna heaters

It doesn't get any closer to the traditional sauna. By heating the sauna with a fire you create a unique atmosphere inside the sauna. The smell of the burning wood and the atmosphere of the dancing fire give the sauna a completely different experience than an electrically heated sauna.

And also on these sauna heaters you have the option of pouring on. With the raw stones from Harvia and the rolled stones from HUUM you can create a wonderful steaming heat in no time.


These are our wood-fired sauna heaters:

  • HUUM Hive Wood
  • Harvia M3

Built by us or DIY

Not for nothing do 95% of our customers choose this option; construction in your own garden. In the morning, a team of sauna builders comes to your garden to build the sauna in the desired location.

Unique in the Netherlands and Belgium is that we build the sauna entirely in your garden, if you choose that option. We have several teams that come to build the sauna in the Netherlands and Belgium. Perfect, because this way we take a lot of work off your hands.

You can also choose to roll up your sleeves and build the sauna yourself. For this, however, it is important that you are handy and technically inclined.
