Questions people ask before buying this one

Will it run off a normal plug?

No. The heater needs a 50 A or supply. Ask an electrician to check your main fuse first. We add £1,150. Sauna electrics.

Is the heater included?

Yes, it is in the price.

Will it fit, and do I need planning permission?

The outside is 2.35 × 2 × 2.4 m (4.7 m² of ground). Leave room around it to build and treat the timber. At 2.40 m tall it is within the 2.5 m limit for outbuildings near a boundary. Planning rules.

What will it cost to run?

About £2.96 of electricity a session and £308 a year at 2 sessions a week, plus about £150 a year of upkeep. Change the numbers in the calculator below. If 2 of you would otherwise pay £10 each for community sauna sessions, it costs about the same as those sessions after 6.0 years.

Do I have to build it myself?

It comes as a kit: two people, one or two days. Palletised; self-assembly, one to two days for two people.

Will it last?

The warranty isn't published. Built from (black) with 44 mm walls. Outdoors, treat the outside once a year.
