{"product_id":"harvia-kuusi-180-panorama-barrel-sauna","title":"Harvia Kuusi 180 Panorama: 4 Person Barrel Sauna","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kuusi 180 is the barrel sauna in the range: a 2,200mm diameter cylinder of 40mm solid spruce staves, 1,800mm long, pulled tight by two steel bands and standing on four impregnated feet. Four people sit on two 600mm benches facing each other across a 686mm walkway, and the half height window in the rear wall, which is what Panorama means on this cabin, puts the garden behind you rather than a blank wall. It is the sauna for a household that wants four seats with the heater already chosen and in the price, and is happy to build it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA barrel is a different proposition from an insulated cabin, and the difference is worth understanding before you buy rather than after. The wall is a single 40mm stave with nothing behind it, so the room loses heat faster than a cabin with insulated walls and takes longer to reach temperature on a cold night. Harvia's own sizing rule adds half again to the room volume for uninsulated timber walls, which takes the 5.6 cubic metre room to 8.4, and that is why the heater in the price is 8kW rather than the 6kW a cabin this size would otherwise carry. The heater is at the top of the 6 to 8kW range Harvia publish for this cabin, not the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat heater is the Harvia Wall SW80, 8kW, wall mounted opposite the door, with its controls built into the heater itself: a timer dial that runs the heater for up to four hours or starts it by itself up to eight hours ahead, and a thermostat dial. There is no app and no separate control panel, which is one less thing to wire and one less thing to fail. It needs a 35 amp single phase circuit, installed by an electrician, which is the least demanding electrical requirement of any sauna we sell. Its 20kg of stones come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spruce arrives untreated. Harvia recommend painting or treating the outside to extend its life and say the inside must be left bare. They also say plainly that a barrel is not fully watertight in driving rain: two drain holes in the lowest stave let water out, and the timber under the glass can mark with condensation, which is why the cabin should be dried out by heating it after wet weather. None of that is a fault. It is what a single skin timber barrel is, and the price reflects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing to configure. The cabin, the Panorama window, the 8mm glass door, the two benches and backrests, the floor grid, the roof shingles, the 760mm dimmable LED strip, the heater and its stones are all in the one price. The base, the electrical work and the build are yours to arrange, and this page sets out exactly what each involves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tarnfell","offers":[{"title":"Dimmable white, as supplied","offer_id":55199701139798,"sku":"TF-KUUSI-180-P","price":6660.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"RGBW colour lighting","offer_id":55243450548566,"sku":null,"price":7644.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/9720\/0982\/files\/tarnfell-harvia-kuusi-180-panorama-01_d0e5e08d-9dd6-46af-a95b-f7256b583622.webp?v=1788463764","url":"https:\/\/tarnfell.com\/products\/harvia-kuusi-180-panorama-barrel-sauna","provider":"Tarnfell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
