Golden Designs Gargellen 5-Person Full Spectrum Hybrid Outdoor Sauna

Hybrid saunas are equipped with both infrared heating technology and a traditional sauna stove in a single unit. Unlike standalone models, you can choose between the two heating methods.

Yes, hybrid saunas can be used indoors or outdoors, but every model is typically designed for a specific usage environment. Before installation, always check the manufacturer's specifications. Installing a sauna in the wrong usage environment and/or without proper protection may void a manufacturer's warranty.

"Full Spectrum" refers to infrared saunas that emit near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. Each wavelength penetrates the body at different depths, providing a broader range of therapeutic heat options in a single session.

Far infrared saunas emit only far wavelengths, known for deep heat that supports relaxation, circulation, and sweating. Full spectrum saunas include near, mid, and far infrared, offering a wider range of benefits, such as potential support of skin health and localized muscle relief.

Yes, the sauna arrives in pre-assembled panels and requires simple assembly.

Assembly is straightforward and can typically be completed in a few hours with basic hand tools. No specialized skills are needed and instructions are included.

Only basic tools like a screwdriver and wrench are required. All major components and hardware are provided in the kit.

The sauna requires a 240V / 40 AMP connection.

No, hybrid saunas are designed to operate one heating system at a time. You must choose either the infrared panels or the sauna stove for each session.

Heating time will vary depending on the method of heating chosen for your session (infrared or traditional). Infrared panels typically reach their optimal temperature (120F - 140F) in 10-20 minutes and can be used as the sauna heats up. Traditional stoves can require 45-60 minutes to reach max temperature of 190F, with temps of 165F achieved in ~30 minutes.

Minimal maintenance is required. We recommend periodically wiping down the interior with mild soap and water. You can also clean the sauna stones with warm water and a soft brush to ensure even heating. The need for cleaning is reduced by always placing a towel beneath you when using the sauna.
