Explore our stunning outdoor sauna collection with a guided walk-through filmed at Dobbies Garden Centre in Gillingham.
Stepping inside an outdoor sauna should feel comfortable, inviting, and effortless. This video tour highlights three of our most popular models and shows how each one can transform your garden into a calming retreat. If you have been thinking about creating a wellness space at home, this demonstration gives you a clear idea of the quality, comfort, and design you can expect from the saunas in our collection.
The video shows the Borealis Outdoor Sauna, a model that stands out with its full rear glass glazing. This feature allows natural light to fill the space and creates a beautiful connection between the sauna and the surrounding garden. The glowing cedar interior adds warmth and character, while the glass door and sturdy frame give the sauna a premium finish that feels durable and refined. You can choose between two sizes, the 1.85 metre version shown in the video or a larger 2.25 metre option. Both sizes are built with Canadian Western red cedar, known for its natural insulation, resilience, and aromatic qualities.
Inside the Borealis, you see deep benches that support comfortable seating or lying positions. The electric stove is simple to operate, with controls for temperature and timing placed neatly on the front panel. The sauna includes a built-in light, hydrometer, thermometer, and two headrests that offer extra comfort when you want to rest fully. There is also an aromatherapy infuser that allows scented steam to fill the room at your chosen pace. This sauna is currently available at promotional pricing, making it an attractive option for anyone seeking a luxury outdoor model.
The tour continues with two cedar barrel saunas. These models use white cedar, which has a lighter appearance and a natural resistance to rot and moisture. The six-foot barrel sauna provides generous space and feels cosy without feeling enclosed. The video gives you a clear sense of the head height and the depth of the benches. The heater is simple to use, the lighting is warm, and the floor grates help your feet stay comfortable throughout your session. This model suits families, couples, or individuals who want a traditional shape with a practical layout.
Next, the video shows the smaller four-foot barrel sauna. This compact model suits tighter spaces and smaller gardens. It retains the important features found in the larger barrels, including headrests, lighting, a hydrometer, a thermometer, and an easy-to-use stove. It also includes the option for staining, which allows you to customise the colour to match your garden aesthetic. Many customers choose black or brown stains, while others enjoy the brightness of a natural finish.
Both the six-foot and four-foot barrels are designed for long-term use and give you a very traditional sauna experience. The curved shape supports even heat circulation, which adds to the comfort of each session. They offer strong performance and a welcoming feel, which is why these models are some of the most popular in the range.
The final model in the video is the Porta Sauna Tent. This is a portable sauna that folds into a bag and sets up in minutes. It uses a wood-fired heater and suits customers who enjoy flexibility. You can place it anywhere in your garden or even take it on holiday. It is an ideal choice for anyone who wants a lower-cost sauna that still delivers excellent heat and comfort. With a starting price of £1,860, it offers broad appeal.
Throughout the video, you gain a sense of the variety within the outdoor sauna collection. Each model is built with care and serves a different purpose. The Borealis suits premium garden designs, the barrel saunas bring a traditional style with strong performance, and the Porta Sauna offers convenience and portability. Every sauna includes thoughtful features such as lighting, essential gauges, ergonomic headrests, and easy-to-use stoves.
If you want to view these saunas in person, you can visit the display at Dobbies Garden Centre in Gillingham. You can also request a private viewing across Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorset, Berkshire, and London. For homeowners who want to create a complete garden retreat, the full range includes Borealis saunas, barrel saunas, luxury steam rooms, and bespoke outdoor wellness installations. Each option is designed to support daily relaxation and to bring a sense of calm into your home.
