SaunaPilot is an independent UK home-sauna planning website. Its aim is to help people move from an initial idea to a better-specified, better-researched project before they buy a cabin, heater or installation package.
What we cover
- garden, outdoor and home sauna options
- size, siting, foundations and weather protection
- heater sizing, electrical requirements and installation planning
- planning-permission questions and project constraints
- costs, specifications and supplier comparisons
- calculators, checklists and personalised planning tools
How we work
Technical claims should be tied to manufacturer manuals, installation instructions or other appropriate primary evidence. Planning information should be checked against current government or local-authority guidance. Calculators are planning aids; the selected manufacturer’s stated room range, clearances and installation instructions control the final product decision.
Supplier and product research uses readiness states. A product may be treated as ready for a hard comparison only when the key dimensions, power or heater basis, siting or base requirements, warranty and current commercial basis are sufficiently verified. Incomplete evidence is labelled rather than guessed.
Independence and funding
SaunaPilot is not a sauna manufacturer, installer, electrician or retailer. Commercial relationships do not make a supplier technically ready for recommendation and do not determine ranking. The site may earn money from affiliate links, referrals, advertising or paid planning products, with disclosures where relevant.
