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

Design outdoor sauna by 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.

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.

Custom-made design sauna in a new building near Munich. The sauna offers a maximum of transparency due to the generous glazing and thus has an effect on the entire room:

Not only the entire front is glazed, but also the side entrance area of the sauna. The placement next to the spacious shower is ideal for cooling down immediately after the sauna.

Inside, the sauna has been designed with high-quality real wood veneer in grey oak (Oak “Diamant Mondsee”). The floating sauna benches in front of the glass façade… continue >

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.

This pool house was individually planned and built for a family of builders in Baden-Württemberg. The pool house includes a cosy relaxation area with a daybed, a coffee kitchen and a lounge area to enjoy the sundowner protected outdoors.

The glazed front can be opened completely, and when closed it offers maximum transparency. The pool house was completely built in the corso manufactory. The delivery was made within a very short time by truck-mounted crane directly to the foundation prepared on site.

Glass-fronted pool house

The exterior cladding in Trespa guarantees durability with minimal maintenance: the weatherproof surface is easy to clean, sun and wind cannot harm the building envelope.

Reclaimed wood was chosen for the interior design to give the outdoor area a rustic, cosy atmosphere. The daybed was made to fit exactly, the integrated drawers serve as a practical storage area.

Many thanks to the builder for sending the photos and the friendly 5 star review. It was a pleasure!

We were allowed to build this custom-made sauna for a family in Münster: the dark thermo aspen in a rod profile creates a very special sauna look. The sauna benches and backrests are also optically designed in a rod look, and the joints have been perfectly coordinated.

The room (actually) has a floor-to-ceiling window, the additional built-in sauna window deliberately reduces the light cut-out in favor of sauna cosiness – such a solution is also possible.

The photos were taken during the day – but you can imagine how wonderful it must be to relax in the sauna at home in the evening “above the rooftops of the city” and enjoy the view of the stars in the sky…

Through the sauna wall, which continues to the outside, the cosy, dark sauna wood has an effect on the entire room. Beautiful details are the storage area for the sauna bucket and the black fittings, which harmonize perfectly with the black sauna accessories.

The dark pendant lights above the stove pick up on the narrow lines of the rod profile and create a homely, cosy ambience. The LEDs behind the backrests also provide pleasant, indirect lighting for the entire sauna cabin.

We are also happy to plan your custom-made sauna for your home together with you. Further information:

Small but nice: this corner sauna has quite compact dimensions (164 x 144 cm floor area). Thanks to the double-sided glazing across the corner, the cabin still looks spacious and, with the floating sauna benches, offers plenty of room to relax with a view of the garden. The cabin is designed in Thermo-Espe in combination with brushed Thermo-Espe.

In combination with the sunken bathtub and the primarily black and white furnishings, a modern and cosy wellness area has been created here.

Wellness at home with infrared cabin in sloping roof

The continuous line of the dark shadow gap was precisely crafted, which was also adhered to 1:1 with the infrared heaters. The continuous glass front without disturbing trims ensures a high-quality, harmonious overall picture. Small but nice, an individual dream cabin has been implemented here.

Light aspen with double groove profile

This infrared cabin under the sloping roof was designed in light aspen wood. A special feature of the design is the double-groove profile with inlaid black tongue. Despite its compact dimensions, the cabin offers space for infrared bathing for two people. The surface infrared heater under the ceiling serves as an additional heat source.

In the infrared cabin, the infrared rays create a pleasant feeling of warmth. You start to sweat, your skin is cleansed deep into the pores. At the same time, the circulatory system is stimulated by the heat effect and blood circulation is promoted. However, the room air in the infrared cabin is much lower than, for example, in the classic sauna, so that the circulatory system is less stressed. Because of this, the infrared cabin is particularly suitable for sensitive people.

Despite the lower ambient temperature, up to three times the volume of sweat can be achieved in the infrared cabin compared to a normal sauna session.

A bath duration of around 30 minutes is considered particularly effective. The lukewarm shower afterwards makes you fresh and fit, so that everyday life is a long way off. The infrared cabin is a gentle fountain of health for every day and every age. Especially in combination with cold stimuli, you achieve a gentle stimulation of the immune system.

With us you can unwind and relax in the sauna.” However, the old sauna had to be closed – and the hotel lacked the space for an appealing SPA. That’s how the idea of planning an outdoor SPA was born. Ralf Wyk comments: “We already had very specific ideas and everything should be built according to our wishes.” Another aspect was to have as little disruption as possible to the ongoing hotel operations: with a short construction time and little construction noise. The two hoteliers did some research on the internet to look for inspiration for the commercial outdoor sauna. Ralf Wyk: “We really liked corso’s references – and we liked the old wood because it spreads such a rustic, cosy atmosphere. We then arranged a consultation with corso and also visited the manufactory. In conversation with specialist planner Regina Schwab, it quickly became clear that we had found the right partner. On the homepage it says that corso plans “with a great feeling for design” – I can only confirm that.”

It was important to both hotel operators that the outdoor sauna blends in well with the landscape. For this purpose, the slope was partially excavated and the sauna was virtually incorporated into the hill. The integration is rounded off by the green roof and the stone wall. In the exterior design, the materials and colours of the main house were taken up with natural larch and white windows.

Flying sauna house

Manja Wyk: “It was definitely a very exciting moment when the outdoor sauna, which weighed several tons, flew over our entire hotel and then landed on the hill. That took my breath away for a moment. – Now I am glad that we can offer our guests a beautiful retreat to relax. With this wellness area, we will definitely increase our occupancy rate in autumn/winter.” The sauna is controlled via a card slot: guests can book the outdoor sauna and, if desired, reserve it as a private SPA – turning the sauna into a profit center.

Sauna & Whirlpool

Another high-quality detail of the garden sauna is the illuminated salt stone wall, which provides a very special look both in the shower and in the sauna.

Rustic, weather-tanned old wood has been used in the interior design, which gives the garden sauna a cosy atmosphere with “alpine chic”.

Due to the large daybed and the integrated shower, the sauna house can also be used as a guest house.

The STRATO whirlpool (Riviera Pool) was also supplied by us and clad with the same rhombus profile wood to match the garden sauna, so that the entire ensemble in the garden results in a harmonious overall look.
