Your Backyard Spa

Austin-based company is transforming backyards into personal wellness retreats

Wellness hacks that once required a trip to a spa are becoming increasingly accessible at home. Sweat Decks is making it even easier, building personalized wellness retreats in customer’s backyards. The company was founded in Austin 18 months ago and has already expanded to California and Houston, creating bespoke outdoor spas that combine luxury and health benefits.

Sweat Decks specializes in designing and building custom setups that include saunas, cold plunges, showers and decks. Although they say conventional saunas are their bread and butter, they also offer infrared saunas, which have grown in popularity, and describe the benefits of each on their website. Cold plunges, available in various shapes and sizes, are designed for full-body immersion, providing benefits like reduced inflammation and improved mental clarity. Outdoor showers and beautifully crafted decks complete the setup, creating a cohesive and functional wellness space.

 “We create your perfect home oasis,” says the team. The process begins with filling out a form on their website, followed by a consultation where the team collaborates with clients to design their dream setup. They tell Austin Lifestyle the typical timeline from consultation to completion is about four weeks and pricing is customized based on factors such as square footage, materials, and additional features, ensuring each retreat is as unique as its owner.
