Before using PortaSauna, it’s recommended to consult with your local fire department about the regulations for portable outdoor fireplaces. In most regions, using PortaSauna is permitted in the backyard of single-family homes. However, always ensure that it’s used exclusively outdoors and placed at a minimum distance of 2 feet (60cm) away from any buildings, branches, trees and fences. We recommend a vigilant safety aspect when using the PortaSauna and recommend keeping a bucket of water or fire extinguisher close by.
