Recovery Rituals Summit Series 8-Person Outdoor Cabin Sauna

Yes, traditional saunas can be used indoors or outdoors. However, indoor models may not withstand outdoor conditions without special protection, as they often feature more glass and materials less suited for weather exposure. Outdoor saunas are built to handle various climates. Always check whether your specific sauna is rated for outdoor use before installation.

Traditional saunas heat the air around you, typically reaching temperatures between 150-195°F (65-90°C). They can be used for both dry and wet sauna sessions, where you pour water over hot stones to create steam. This allows for a more intense heat experience with customizable levels of humidity. Infrared saunas, by contrast, use infrared light to heat your body directly, penetrating deeper into muscles and operating at lower temperatures (120-140°F or 49-60°C), making them more comfortable for longer sessions.

All of the saunas we sell are manufactured in the United States or Canada.

Regular sauna sessions can improve circulation, relieve muscle soreness, reduce stress, support detoxification, and enhance overall well-being. Traditional saunas, in particular, offer high heat that promotes relaxation and improves skin health.

For most people, a 10-20 minute session is ideal. Start slow if you're new to sauna use and gradually increase time. Using your sauna 2-4 times per week offers great health benefits, though some enjoy it daily. Always listen to your body and stay hydrated.

Yes, the sauna arrives as separate parts and requires assembly.

Due to the larger size of cabin saunas, we recommend having at least two to three people for the job. Given the greater difficulty and time required, many of our customers opt to hire a contractor to construct it over 2 to 3 days of full work.

You’ll need tools such as a drill, screwdriver, wrench, ladder, and a level. All necessary hardware and major components are included in the kit.

4.5KW - 6KW electric heaters require a 220/240V, 30-amp hardwired connection. Anything beyond 6KW requires a 40-amp hardwired connection.

Both heaters provide an excellent sauna experience. Electric heaters are more convenient for quick heating, while wood-burning heaters offer a more rustic, traditional experience with the ambiance of a wood fire.

The size of the heater depends on the size of the sauna. We simplify this by offering saunas with an appropriately paired sauna heater. Most of our saunas come with a powerful electric heater as standard, but sometimes further customization is available.

Yes, we offer a range of heater upgrades depending on your sauna model. For many outdoor saunas, you can upgrade to a wood-burning heater, while indoor saunas may offer upgrades to more powerful or digitally-controlled electric heaters.

For electric heaters, minimal maintenance is required. You’ll want to occasionally check and clean the sauna stones with warm water and a soft brush to ensure even heating. For wood-burning heaters, regular ash removal and chimney cleaning are necessary to maintain proper airflow and performance.

Yes! Traditional saunas are designed for both dry and wet use, so feel free to pour water on the heated stones for a steam boost. We recommend adding water in small quantities (~80ml) to avoid overloading the heater.

Traditional saunas typically heat up to a maximum temperature of 195°F in 45-60 minutes. Temperatures of ~165°F can be achieved in 30 minutes. Note that heating times are influenced by the type and size of the heater as well as outside temperature.

Minimal maintenance is required. We recommend wiping down the interior with mild soap and water periodically. For outdoor saunas, you can re-apply a wood treatment to the exterior to preserve the wood’s finish.

The cost of running an electric sauna heater depends on your local electricity rates, heater size and how often you use it. Electric heaters typically have low operating costs ($0.15 - $0.30 cents per hour), similar to other household appliances. Wood-burning heaters may vary depending on wood costs, but generally have a lower ongoing cost compared to electric.
