About Better Backyard Store
Heat, Cold, and the Space to Use Them
We sell home saunas, cold plunge, and steam — and we help people choose the right one before they spend a dollar. Authorized dealer for the manufacturers who have been perfecting this for generations.
Our Approach
Why we exist
A Sauna Is a Building Project, Not a Purchase
Most people find out about the 240V circuit, the concrete pad, and the curbside freight drop after they have already paid. We front-load all of it.
Before you order, you will know what your electrician needs to quote, what your foundation has to carry, and exactly what shows up on the truck. No surprises on delivery day, and no half-finished build sitting in the yard waiting on a part nobody told you about.
The Brands
What we carry
The Manufacturers Who Defined This
Harvia has been building sauna heaters in Finland since the 1950s. HUUM and Auroom come out of Estonia's sauna tradition. Narvi, Finlandia, Iglucraft, SaunaLife, Saunum — these are companies that have spent decades doing one thing properly.
We carry them because a sauna is a twenty-year purchase. The name on the heater is what you are still relying on in year fifteen.
Before You Buy
How we sell
We Would Rather Talk You Down Than Sell You Up
A heater sized too large dries the room out and burns power. A cabin too big for your electrical service costs more in wiring than it does in wood. Neither problem shows up until the thing is installed.
So if the smaller unit is the right one, that is what we will tell you. We would rather have the right sale than the bigger one, because the right sale is the one that gets used every day for years.
Sized to Your Space
We spec the heater against your room volume, glass area, insulation, and climate before you order — not after it arrives.
Authorized and Warrantied
Every unit ships factory-direct with full manufacturer warranty, genuine parts, and real support behind it.
