Common Questions About Our Saunas
A 3000W heater in a 2-3 person cabinet typically brings the interior to operating temperature in 30 to 45 minutes, depending on ambient outdoor conditions. Wattage determines how quickly the room recovers heat when the door is opened and how consistently it holds temperature during a session. Check the product spec sheet for the precise voltage requirement before installation.
Cedar is dimensionally stable under repeated moisture and temperature cycles, which makes it a standard choice for outdoor sauna construction. Its natural oils resist warping and surface degradation without requiring a sealant that would off-gas under heat. That said, locating the unit under a roof overhang or pergola will extend the finish life in high-rainfall regions.
Manufacturer capacity ratings are based on bench space at full occupancy, which typically means seated upright with limited movement. Most users find the comfortable daily number is one to two fewer than the stated maximum, allowing space to recline on the lower bench. Review the interior bench dimensions listed in the product specifications to match the unit to your actual use pattern.
Saunas ship via freight carrier with curbside delivery to the continental U.S. at no additional charge on most orders; Alaska and Hawaii are excluded. Assembly from packaged panels is completed by the customer using the included hardware and instructions.

About Our Saunas
A home sauna is a dedicated heat environment, typically constructed from cedar or similarly stable softwood, designed to support a consistent daily or weekly ritual separate from the main living space. Traditional steam models use an electric heater rated in kilowatts to bring a sealed cabinet to operating temperature, with a water reservoir that allows the occupant to control humidity by ladling water over heated stones. The decision between an indoor and outdoor unit is primarily structural: outdoor models are built to handle precipitation and temperature swings, while indoor models rely on an existing interior space with adequate ventilation and electrical access. Capacity ratings reflect bench surface area, so buyers should measure their available footprint and consider how many occupants will use the unit simultaneously. Wattage, interior volume, and wall insulation thickness are the three specifications that most directly affect how quickly the room heats and how efficiently it holds temperature. A buyer with a permanent outdoor location and a dedicated circuit has different requirements than one fitting a unit into a basement or spare room.
