It’s perfect that the sauna and relaxation area are completely in the garden. And we can jump straight from the sauna into the pool.
Outdoor sauna builder from the district of Vechta

Garden sauna with daybed

A pool in the garden was already available – and also a sauna in the house. But with a family of 5, it can get busy inside the house. Therefore, the desire was to move the wellness area completely to the garden in order to be able to relax deeply there. The client commented on this in an interview:

“We had the desire not only to move the sauna out of the house into the garden, but also the complete wellness experience with sauna, shower and, above all, the relaxation room for relaxing between sauna sessions.”

Were there any special challenges?

“Due to the size of the sauna house, we had to obtain a building permit and appropriate earthworks were necessary for the laying of the water pipes, but the project went smoothly.”

What do you particularly like about the sauna house?

“The overall design is very successful and the entire sauna is of very high quality. And because everything is united under one roof, we can now relax completely outdoors and go to the pool.”

Who uses the sauna – and how often?

“On average, we use the sauna once or twice a week, less in summer, but more often in autumn/winter. And in the meantime, 2 of our children have also found joy in using the sauna.”

What is your overall conclusion of the project?

“It’s perfect that the sauna and relaxation area are completely in the garden, with a peaceful distance from the house. And we can jump straight from the sauna into the pool. The sauna house is a visual highlight: both from the house, when the sauna is illuminated, and from the sauna, when you look at the cathedral. We are very satisfied.”

Thank you very much for the interview and that we were allowed to realize the video shoot!

A wellness dream has come true: the client has set up his own personal “place of good time”: with a timeless, elegant, three-sided glazed sauna. Due to the rustic old wood, it is not only stylish and modern, but at the same time radiates a lot of cosiness. – For a feeling like every day holiday with “alpine-chic” factor.

The old wood of the sauna provides warmth and a relaxing fragrance. Perfectly installed by Corso, it turned out just like this – simply beautiful.
Client from Central Hesse

Rustic old wood gives cosiness

… because the large glass surfaces open up the room beautifully. The reclaimed wood provides warmth and a relaxing scent. Perfectly installed by Corso, it turned out exactly like that – simply beautiful.”

Reclaimed wood exudes its very own, rustic charm, because it has been shaped by wind and weather over decades into a wood with its very own character. The wood comes from old farmhouses and huts in Austria. After being removed, the waste wood was carefully cleaned and prepared before it was given its “performance” in the corso sauna.

Each board has its own appearance, none looks like the other. But that is exactly what is desired and what is special about the original old wood. And so it gives an old wood sauna its uniqueness and its very own charm.

In combination with the indirect LED lighting behind the backrests and the generous glazing, the wood comes into its own. The sauna benches made of thermo-aspen wood harmonise well with the old wood in terms of colour and result in a harmonious overall look.

Perfect planning is particularly important for a sauna under a sloping roof. As we manufacture each sauna individually, we were able to fully utilise our particular strengths in this project and optimally design the sauna room. The good liaison with the client couple, who were open to ideas and suggestions, was invaluable. The result is a feel-good sauna in honey-coloured hemlock wood with a large glass front and floating sauna benches. A dream sauna where we relax regularly. – It’s always nice when we are allowed to become active as ‘dream realisers’!

We are extremely satisfied. Very good advice and therefore perfect planning. Professional and high-quality execution. Reliable service. It’s great that something like this still exists.
Client from near Hildesheim

Customised sauna in pitched roof

Interview with the client couple from near Hildesheim about the project:

What wishes did you have for the project?

‘We had been looking into saunas for a while, but had never found the right one. Our aim was to combine the pleasure of a sauna with high-quality technology and a modern design that suited our taste. A sauna that people like to use and that doesn’t just live a shadowy existence after the initial euphoria.’

Why did you choose corso?

‘We found corso on the internet. We were initially attracted by the design and individuality of the saunas. The fact that we realised the project with Corso was ultimately down to the perfect technical and design advice and the excellent, particularly reliable service. The price/performance ratio is very reasonable for this quality.’

How did the sauna planning go?

‘We had very clear ideas about the space. During an initial on-site consultation (on a Saturday!), we were able to clarify all the basic technical and design issues. The exhibition and the opportunity to view the production facilities were very stimulating and valuable. After the first design draft, details were agreed by e-mail and telephone. In a second meeting, which was actually no longer necessary, we looked at the pre-produced parts and clarified or changed a few details (fittings, handles, accessories).’

Were there any particular challenges and how were they solved?

‘Some! We took the measurements ourselves on site – because of the greater distance. That…

…was exciting – but thanks to perfect and reliable communication, everything went really well. Despite the sloping roof! Neither we nor other suppliers had a good idea of how to deal with an existing window in the intended room. It was Mr Lingens who came up with the brilliant idea. Just thinking outside the box – what is the real purpose of the window? None! So it was closed off and the remaining room behind the sauna with the window can be reached through a concealed flap under the benches. The technology was also housed there. Without Mr Lingens’ encouraging advice based on his many years of experience, we probably wouldn’t have dared to lay the real wood parquet throughout the sauna. This gives the room a fantastic spaciousness and, in our experience so far, is really no problem (of course, you have to do without the guarantee from the parquet layer).’

What do you particularly like about the sauna?

‘Everything, actually. We really haven’t found anything that we would change. The ‘floating’ benches and the hemlock wood in the particularly wide sorting are very nice.’

How would you rate corso?

‘We are extremely satisfied. Very good advice and therefore perfect planning. Professional and high-quality workmanship. Reliable service. It’s great that something like this still exists. If you value quality, personalised advice and planning, Corso is the right place for you.’

Thank you very much for the interview!

Outdoor sauna XXL: can also be used as a guest house

If you are looking for an outdoor sauna XXL, then we are your “perfect match”: We plan your project individually according to your wishes – everything is possible: minibar, steam bath, coffee bar… The delivery is ready to go by truck-mounted crane, directly into your garden or onto the terrace.

We create real garden sauna unique pieces: We manufacture everything to measure and plan the outdoor sauna XXL so that it fits perfectly into your garden – as if it had always been a part of it.

The project shown here is a particularly large, extra-deep design: two buildings were placed next to each other on site. The second, rear part of the building has a separate passageway and is used by the client as additional garden storage space.

Practical: With the help of the integrated shading system, the fully glazed front of the outdoor sauna can be darkened. Due to the equipment with shower and toilet, the entire ensemble can also be used as a guest house.

The outer walls are clad with Trespa®, which gives a high-quality look with fine shadow gaps. The material is ideal for outdoor use, because sun and rain have hardly any effect: The closed surface ensures that hardly any dirt accumulates and it is easy to clean. Trespa® is available in many colours. The design outdoor lights are colour-coordinated; the downpipe is invisibly integrated so as not to interrupt the linear overall appearance.

The outdoor sauna is a purchase for life. Take the necessary time and let us inspire you and advise you perfectly. It’s worth it, we promise!.

Especially when space is limited, a room with a custom-built hemlock sauna can be used optimally – as in this project that we were allowed to realize in Central Hesse. The builder commented:

Client from Central Hesse

Hemlock Sauna: Indoor room with limited space

“(…) A lot of emphasis was placed on understanding our wishes exactly and getting the most out of the limited space. We are thrilled with our new custom-made sauna.”

The particular challenge in planning this hemlock sauna in stick look was that the room was not originally designed for a sauna. Nevertheless, the client’s wishes could be easily implemented with the individual production:

The large glass front makes the sauna look very airy. The honey-coloured wood with a stick look lends a fine, timeless elegance and is set off by the indirect lighting. A special feature is the sauna bench extended to the outside with recessed design washbasin; this creates a beautiful connection between the sauna and the anteroom.

At the customer’s request, a hidden audio system was also integrated. Furthermore, the sauna was integrated into the existing building technology via KNX system so that it can also be controlled and started on the go. This means that the builder can also take a spontaneous sauna at any time – with the sauna climate already perfectly preheated.

A big thank you to the builder for the photos provided!

A former chicken coop? Unimaginable – and yet reality: the old walls, which were in danger of collapsing, were completely converted into a sauna house as a holiday island: The builders travel the world for work. When they are at home, they want to feel like they are on vacation to calm down and recharge their batteries.

The idea had been around for over 20 years, and now the dream has come true. Although not without challenges…

Client from North Rhine-Westphalia

Sauna as a holiday island in converted chicken coop

After the conversion, nothing reminds of the dilapidated chicken coop, on the contrary: the wellness refuge was designed by the client with great attention to detail in warm blue tones reminiscent of a sea bay (bullfrog furniture by corso). The way there was not easy: the sauna builder was insolvent, the down payment was lost.

Then the builders came across corso and convinced themselves of us during a visit to the site. The sauna in thermowood with a rod look was built exactly as desired, and the inspiration for it was found during a visit to the exhibition. The client says: “The first sauna builder had only planned a glass door, the rest would have been covered with plasterboard cladding. On the other hand, the current sauna has become much more beautiful: straightforward without a disturbing frame, with a large glass front, yet very cozy and with great lighting effects.”

The conversion was not an easy affair due to the dilapidated foundations. “In contrast, the sauna construction went completely smoothly. When we stay in the sauna house now, we are completely disconnected from everyday life and feel like we are on vacation. That was quite simply my goal: to create a holiday island where we can feel like we are in a cozy sea bay. We love our sauna house and are thrilled how beautiful it has become.”

The sauna is also used by the adult children when they visit their parents’ house. Then everyone has their own bathrobe, and the wellness moments in the sauna house are used to relax and “spend time together”.

Especially in the colder months, the builders use the sauna one to three times a week, either as a Finnish sauna or as a milder variant with the evaporator as bio sauna.

Customized Garden sauna

The customized garden sauna looks very spacious and airy thanks to the glass elements. This is a wonderful place to take a sauna: the EOS sauna heater can withstand strong infusions, the sauna benches offer plenty of space to lie down. And right next to the sauna is the rain shower to cool off.

Last but not least, you can relax wonderfully on the cuddly daybed. The integrated drawer is practical, where sauna towels and infusions are stowed within easy reach. To accompany the sauna breaks with relaxing music, a Sonos sound system with an induction charging station at the head of the daybed was planned.

A pleasant temperature, even in the colder season, is ensured by underfloor heating and an infrared heater. With the large daybed and integrated shower, the sauna house can also be used as a guest house if desired.

ADVICE

Sauna by truck-mounted crane

The interior of this customized garden sauna was designed with rustic, weather-beaten old wood: for a cosy atmosphere with “alpine chic”. Rhombus profiled wood was used for the exterior cladding – the bevelled shape makes it easy for rain to drip downwards.

With a customized garden sauna, you can enjoy your garden all year round – and combine it with a healthy sauna . To ensure that the garden sauna does not become a permanent construction site, we manufacture your project completely in our manufactory before the complete, ready-to-use sauna house is then delivered to your garden by truck-mounted crane. It could not be more convenient than that.

Do you have any other extra requests or ideas for your customized garden sauna…? No problem: everything is planned individually for you and tailored to your needs.

We would be happy to plan your garden sauna:


Interview with the client

How did the idea for your own outdoor sauna come about?
“My wife has been a sauna-goer for a long time and then got me excited about it over time.”

How did you come up with corso?
“corso is located directly on our way to Osnabrück on the main road. The exhibition saunas are hard to miss and we drove slower and slower to take a look. At some point we turned off and looked at the garden sauna models. A friendly advisor explained everything to us and we were already infected. It then took some time and considerations before we made a decision.”

What did you want from the project?
“Large window areas so that the view directly into the garden is guaranteed at all times and that the sauna blends into the garden with the harmonious wood panelling as if it had always been there.”

Were there any special challenges, how were they solved?
“Installing a water boiler for the shower as the instantaneous water heater didn’t have enough power available, but with a good electrician and the Corso team we found a solution.”

What do you particularly like about your customized garden sauna?
“We can take a sauna at any time without having to travel, which is of course a real luxury. The sauna has a modern design, but still exudes a homely warmth due to the natural wood finishes.”

Who uses the sauna, how often do you use the sauna?
“My wife and I, usually twice a week.”

What is your overall conclusion?
“We should have made the purchase earlier because we are really excited and enjoy the sight every day. Overall, we are totally satisfied to have carried out this project with Corso. Great advice, great work during the implementation and always a contact person if there are any questions.”

Building permit: necessary for garden sauna? 9 Facts + Tips

Design outdoor sauna by Corso saunamanufaktur
Design Aussensauna corso CHALET show | corso saunamanufaktur

Garden sauna without building permit: how big can it be? Does an outdoor sauna need a building permit? We explain the building law definitions and what needs to be considered:

There are many different statements circulating on the Internet about “building permit garden sauna”.
As a sauna builder, we have already clarified building law issues with numerous building authorities. The results were often inconsistent, because:
Decisions on building law are the responsibility of the local building authorities.
Therefore, contact your municipality at an early stage to clarify how the building authority classifies your planned garden sauna and what requirements apply. Ideally, your outdoor sauna will be classified as a procedure-free outbuilding:

Garden sauna as a “process-free outbuilding”

Whether a building permit is necessary or whether your garden sauna can be built without permission as a so-called “process-free outbuilding” depends above all on the size. Depending on the federal state, different regulations apply: in some federal states the floor area (= square meters) is decisive, in other countries the converted space (= cubic meters). A detailed overview for all federal states can be found on the graph.

It is important to consider whether your property is located within a built-up area or outside of built-up areas in the outer area. In outdoor areas, sauna projects without a building permit are only possible in Baden-Württemberg, Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate and Schleswig-Holstein.

Development plan, boundary distance, etc.

Regardless of whether a building permit is required or not, the following points must always be considered:

  • Building Lines
  • Boundary Development/Boundary Distance
  • If applicable, local restrictions (e.g. in allotment garden colonies)

The development lines of your property can be found in the local development plan. You can view it at the building regulations office, the municipal administration or the city planning office. In many municipalities, these plans are now also available online.

By default, structures such as sauna houses must maintain a minimum distance of 3 meters from the neighboring property. If you fall below this distance, it is a so-called boundary development, which is only permitted under certain conditions. The respective regulations can be found in the state building regulations, the neighbourhood law and the development plans already mentioned.

If a development is planned on the property boundary, the conversation with the neighbour should be sought in any case: because in the event of a complaint, the building authority must react accordingly and examine the construction project. You should have your neighbour’s consent confirmed in writing.

Outdoor sauna projects – directly from the sauna builder:

CORSO 5013 latuechte weiss oR sg | corso saunamanufaktur

Procedure-free outbuilding

If you want to build your sauna house without a permit, the classification as a so-called procedure-free outbuilding is decisive. Unfortunately, the classification of the building authorities is not uniform, so this question must be clarified with your local building authority. Important: Your project may be subject to approval if you install a toilet/heater (although a sauna heater is usually not considered residential heating), as the sauna house is then no longer classified as an outbuilding.

Garden sauna with or without building permit

In many cases, we have been able to implement sauna projects for our customers without permits. Please inform us at the time of your enquiry if you would like to plan your outdoor sauna without permission and thus within the specified outbuilding size limits. Then we take this into account when planning. Your advantage: we plan the project in custom-made order and can design the floor plan individually according to your wishes and specifications.

Planning with corso support

Don’t let the bureaucracy stop you when it comes to the realization of your garden sauna: we support you in the complete planning. If a building permit is required, we will provide you with the dimensioned plans/drawings for the building application.

Sauna with wood-burning stove

If you would like to equip your outdoor sauna with a wood-burning stove, you must always consult your local district chimney sweep in advance. The wood-burning stove is subject to special legal regulations and must be approved in advance as a fireplace. In addition, minimum distances between the chimney and the neighbour must be observed. In most cases, however, sauna houses in the garden are equipped with an electric sauna heater, so this point is then omitted.

The sauna benches floating in front of the glass façade are designed in honey-coloured hemlock wood with a straight edge. The indirect LED lighting behind the backrests brings out the cosy wood colours to their best advantage.

The sauna has a width of 233 cm and a depth of 213 cm and thus offers plenty of space to relax as a couple.

A heartfelt thank you to the client for allowing the publication of his private photos.

No AI – real sauna project: We were allowed to plan and build this wonderful sauna for the chalet of a builder in Switzerland.

From the custom-made sauna, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Swiss mountains while taking a sauna. For this purpose, the external window on site was integrated into the sauna. The exterior old wood shutters also create a rustic, cosy effect.

The modernly designed sauna is built entirely in hemlock wood with a straight edge. Hemlock is an ideal sauna wood due to its very smooth…

corso realised our sauna exactly as we had imagined.
Marc L.

Hemlock is an ideal sauna wood due to its very smooth surface – and it is also very popular because of its warm, honey-coloured tone. Thanks to the indirect LED lighting, which is integrated into the slightly ergonomically shaped backrests, the entire sauna shines in cosy hemlock colour.

During the planning, special emphasis was placed on symmetrical lines. To ensure that the design sauna heater does not come to the fore too much, it was suitably clad with hemlock wood. As a combination heater, it allows the sauna to be used either as a Finnish sauna or as a bio sauna (with lower temperatures and increased humidity).

Hemlock wood was also used in the bathroom design: for this purpose, we built a custom-made lounger in an identical look. The headboard can be set either flat or slanted. The second finger hole gives access to the storage space in the bench.

Sauna with an exterior window: what do you have to consider?

Plastic windows are not suitable for installation in a sauna with a window, as they can warp due to the high heat. In addition, plastic windows could release harmful fumes due to high heat and humidity.

Instead, wooden windows are used in the area of sauna construction, and aluminium windows are also suitable.

However, if there is already a plastic window on site that is not to be replaced, special solutions can be found in sauna planning: One possibility, for example, is to place a second window in front of it, which is made of wood and ESG glass.
