Know before you buy
Yes, the sauna is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its Western Red Cedar construction is naturally resistant to decay and weather, making it durable enough for backyard placement.
The unit requires a 240V hardwired connection. Depending on your chosen heater, you will need either a 30A circuit for the HUUM Drop or a 40A circuit for the Homecraft Slim heater.
The heater connects to your home network, allowing you to control temperature and timing remotely via the UKU remote interface. This means you can preheat the sauna before you step inside.
This is a traditional sauna that supports both dry and wet heat. You can pour water over the heater stones to create steam, which increases the humidity and intensity of the experience.
Western Red Cedar is naturally low-maintenance. To keep it in top condition, simply ensure the interior stays clean and allow the sauna to air out properly after each use to prevent moisture buildup.
The interior is designed to accommodate up to four people. While it is a compact cabin, the layout is optimized for a traditional sauna experience, though comfort levels will depend on individual preference for personal space.
