From about $9,900 to $11,000. What fits a small yard, what needs a new circuit, and which ones handle a west-facing slab in July.

Ordered from smallest to largest. Every one of these runs on electric heat, so the first thing to check is your panel (see the Arizona guide below).
Best for: one person, a narrow side yard or a patio corner
In the desert: the smallest footprint here, so it's the easiest to tuck under an existing patio cover where it stays out of afternoon sun.
Check price at Select SaunasBest for: a modern backyard, two to four people
In the desert: face the glass front north or east, or shade it. West-facing glass takes the hardest sun of the day.
Check price at Select SaunasBest for: families who want a traditional cabin
In the desert: budget for an electrician. A 40-amp circuit is a real line item if your panel is already carrying two AC units.
Check price at Select SaunasBest for: people who want both traditional heat and infrared
In the desert: barrel saunas sit on cradles, so a level concrete pad or pavers matters. Plan for monsoon runoff so water doesn't pool underneath.
Check price at Select SaunasBest for: a larger group that wants a modern, glass-front look
In the desert: the glass front is the part to shade. A pergola or shade sail over that side keeps it comfortable to use on warm evenings.
Check price at Select SaunasBest for: a private place to change and cool down
In the desert: the changing room doubles as a shaded buffer between the hot room and the outside, which helps when the patio is still warm after dark.
Check price at Select SaunasBest for: entertaining and big households
In the desert: the largest one here. Check HOA setback rules and your lot lines before you order.
