Best Outdoor Saunas

Erik Rennard is the founder and editor of Best Outdoor Saunas, an independent review site for homeowners researching barrel, cabin, cube, and infrared saunas. Over the past 4 years, he's tested and compared products from SaunaLife, Dundalk Leisurecraft, Almost Heaven, Sun Home, Redwood Outdoors, and others — evaluating material quality, heat performance, assembly, durability, and total cost of ownership across every price range.

His work focuses on helping first-time sauna buyers make confident decisions on a purchase that typically runs $3,000–$12,000. Every recommendation is based on hands-on testing. No manufacturer sponsorships, no paid placements.

When he's not inside a sauna, he writes about outdoor living, home improvement, and backyard wellness.
