Will it work where you are

The measurements that decide it.

Check these before anything else. The commonest way a delivery of this size goes wrong is not damage in transit, it is that nobody measured the route to the spot.

Footprint2.40m by 2.10m
Height to ridge2.25m
Narrowest access needed1.15m assembled
Weight, deliveredApproximately 780kg

Electrical supplyNone. It is wood fired.
Flue clearance1m from any combustible surface
Planning permissionUsually not required under permitted development

Measure the narrowest point along the whole route from where a lorry can stop, not the gate. The pinch three metres past the gate, where the drainpipe is, catches more deliveries than the gate ever does.

What it costs to live with

The figures nobody else publishes.

Ownership costs more than the purchase, and the gap between products is wider than most people expect. Here are ours, with the assumptions shown so you can check them rather than take our word for it.

Per session

About £5.40

Roughly 12kg of dry hardwood to bring the cabin to temperature and hold it for an hour. Free if you have your own wood.

Once a week, for a year

About £280

The realistic figure for most owners. Twice a week is about £560.

Consumables

£30 to £60 a year

Stove rope, a door seal every few years, and the occasional replacement stone. Nothing proprietary and nothing you have to buy from us.

Your time

About 25 minutes

Laying and lighting the fire before, and clearing ash after. A flue sweep once a year, which is a job for a chimney sweep rather than for you.

Log figures assume seasoned hardwood bought by the crate at roughly 45p a kilogram. Buy small bags from a garage forecourt and the cost per session roughly trebles, which is the mistake most new owners make exactly once. Wet wood produces less heat, more smoke and more tar in the flue, and is the single commonest reason a wood fired sauna underperforms.

In the price

What arrives, and what does not.

  • The cabin, benches and backrests, in thermally modified spruce
  • Wood fired stove, flue and chimney kit, with the roof flashing
  • Sauna stones, bucket and ladle, and a thermometer
  • Delivery to mainland Britain, kerbside, with access agreed before dispatch
  • Assembly instructions written in English by somebody who has built one
  • The base. It must be laid and cured before delivery.
  • Assembly. Two capable people and most of a day, or a local joiner.
  • Firewood, and the annual flue sweep
  • Any exterior treatment. It is designed to silver naturally and needs none.
Before you commit

This may not be the right sauna for you.

You live in a smoke control area and this stove is not Defra exempt.

Much of urban and suburban Britain is designated, and government guidance is explicit that a roofed garden structure with a chimney falls under the same rule as your house chimney. Very few sauna stoves are on the exempt list. One phone call to your council settles it, and we would far rather you made that call now than after delivery.

You will realistically use it two or three times a week.

A wood fire takes about forty minutes of attention before you get in. On a wet Tuesday in February that forty minutes quietly cancels more sessions than anybody expects. If this is going to be a habit rather than an occasion, an electric cabin will serve you better and we will say so.

Your access is under 1.15m at its narrowest point.

This cabin arrives assembled and will not pass. A panel built cabin or a crane lift are both perfectly ordinary answers, but they need pricing before you order rather than discovering on the day.

You want it standing on a lawn, gravel or unchecked decking.

Nearly eight hundred kilos needs a level, free draining base with air moving underneath. More cabins in Britain are ruined from below than from above, and the base is the least glamorous line in the whole project.

If any of these apply, say so and we will point you at what does suit you, including when that is a cheaper product or a different retailer.

Heat, cold and open air, in your own garden.
In use

Heat, cold and open air, in your own garden.

The ritual is simple and very old: fifteen minutes of proper heat, a cold plunge or a cold morning, and stillness after. Equipment this well made turns that ritual from a holiday memory into a daily habit.
