6-8 Person Electric Sauna

Home Sauna

The 6-8 person outdoor sauna is our favourite model. The large window lets in light and allows you to enjoy the view during regular sauna sessions, while the longer benches of 2.2 m allows you to lie down fully outstretched, our most requested feature.

Heater: Electric Sauna
We use a 8kw SAWO electric heater for this model. Enjoy temperatures of 80-100 degrees Celsius, with scented waves of heat, by pouring water mixed with essential oils on the hot stones.

Materials - An Outdoor Sauna

The outdoor sauna is constructed using high-quality, sustainable materials, including thermally modified NZ Radiata, mineral board wall lining, sheep's wool insulation, and Douglas Fir framing. The sauna is built by licensed NZ builders to the same specifications as a NZ home, creating the most durable sauna you can buy for the NZ outdoors.

Shipping

Shipping is not included in the price. This will be quoted to your nearest Mainfrieght depot, from where you can organise delivery of your home sauna by Hiab.

Installation

All electric saunas require installation of the heater by an electrician. Heaters run on single phase electricity supply, so all households can enjoy an outdoor sauna in their garden.

Foundation

Saunas can be installed on all standard foundations. We recommend using ground screws for the most sustainable solution. The sauna is built on a galvanised steel frame with bearers 2400 mm long and 1800 mm apart, measured to the outer edges, and are 50 mm thick.

3D Model

We have CAD models of all of our saunas, so if your architect needs them, just ask.
