Know before you buy
The sauna is engineered for a straightforward DIY assembly that can typically be completed in a single day with two people. All necessary components and hardware are included to streamline the process.
These woods undergo a thermal modification process that removes moisture and resin, making them significantly more resistant to rot, decay, and warping compared to untreated lumber. This ensures the sauna maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal in outdoor environments.
The sauna operates on a 120V system for its lighting and digital controls, but you should consult the specific requirements of your chosen heater model. Ensure your outdoor installation site has access to a dedicated power source that meets the heater's electrical load specifications.
The floor is designed with a slight slope toward two integrated drains, which allow water to exit the sauna efficiently after use or cleaning. This prevents standing water from pooling on the floorboards, helping to preserve the wood over time.
Yes, the 8mm tempered glass is specifically designed for safety and durability in outdoor settings. It provides excellent insulation while remaining resistant to the thermal stress caused by the temperature difference between the hot interior and the cooler exterior.
The included shingle roof kit is designed to be weather-tight and low-maintenance. We recommend periodically checking the shingles for any debris buildup or damage after severe storms to ensure the roof remains sealed and protective.
