No. 7 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Modern Farmhouse

Timber Deck with Cedar Barrel Sauna

Set on a weathered timber deck outside a white board-and-batten farmhouse, a cedar barrel sauna sits beside a galvanized metal cold plunge and a rusted iron fire bowl.

Design notes

Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.

What to look for

  • Where the water goes — drain, soakaway or the pool deck
  • Privacy height and sightlines from next door's windows
  • How many barefoot steps from the pool or the back door
