Where is everyone placing their saunas? I am in S. FL and I would like to keep in on our covered, screened patio but I worry about the dirt/humidity.

I have mine in the basement, but previously I have had an earlier sauna on an open porch. They stand up pretty well to the elements, I've found, if undercover. Perhaps the manufacturer has advice on whether the wood needs to be refinished periodically.

I placed my Sauna in a room in my basement. The wood has to be protected from the elements.

I would put it in a vented enclosure if its for a beach house. Hope this helps. :-)

They do not recommend putting much other than the cloth cover over it.... Seems more on top less heat gets through. I suppose that would be okay but I would not wait to attest to that...I would not bury it but I cannot see a little hurting anything. See if you can contact the company. Awesome heater ...

You do not put your head in the sauna. There is a hole for your head and I wrap a towel around my neck. I get plenty hot for my head and face to sweat.

I have put it outside in the sun, but i don't leave it outside. I live in Florida and sometimes it is to humid outside, and i don't want it to rust or get dirty.

We live in Florida which is pretty much the arm pit of the world as far as moisture is concerned and we've not had any rust issues. The only thing we do is turn it upside down so water doesn't collect in it.

I believe it will be fine. I have mine in a 15' x 20' metal building that I've made in to a she-cave. I have a hot tub and a treadmill along with my sauna and the temperature and humidity inside the building mimic the outside temperature and I haven't had any problems. Works great.

You will notice the floor does get wet. I have tile floors and it was easier for me to mop whatever little water was released from the sauna. I highly recommend for you to put a towel in the inside of the sauna under your stool or chair. This will help absorb the water so that it won't drain to the floor. As far as wood floors I would recommend to maybe place a hard plastic liner under the sauna to avoid any possible damage.

Unfortunately mine is under an awning so I don't have to worry. I think I would try putting a towel on top on the days that it is going to be very sunny.

Sorry, I only use Mizani's Thermasmooth Shine Extend with my Solia, which I have set around 300. This product helps with humidity but does not mention anything about protecting from heat. Maybe I need to consider something myself.

Ours is in a well covered patio. Can't give much help..While it is outside, it isn't hit by the rain or much sun.

Is the EasyBloom heat tolerant? I mean Las Vegas 110+ degree all day summer sun. I'm getting tired of planting rosemary and I don't like cacti. Most of the nurseries here get stuff that's for full sun in CA.

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun. Good luck, Cathy

Henry, I am a plumber in SC. Very few areas in SC get cold enough to be overly concerned about the unit. We do get cold, but it usually isn't sustained long enough to be a serious issue. These units can freeze under the right conditions, but they do have a small electric element to try and prevent it. If the unit is going to be in the shade all day, and we aren't going to warm up for a few days, covering it would be a good idea. If you are only going to be below freezing for the night, and the sun shines on your unit, I would fret over it.

Yes! There are netted "windows". It doesn't feel like you are in a sauna...

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.
