Questions people ask before buying this one

Will it run off a normal plug?

There are no electrics: it is wood-fired. Sauna electrics.

Is the heater included?

Yes, it is in the price.

Will it fit, and do I need planning permission?

The seller doesn't publish the outside size. Ask before you order, and check the height if it will stand within 2 m of a fence. Planning rules.

What will it cost to run?

About £1.97 of electricity a session and £205 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 5.4 years.

Do I have to build it myself?

The seller doesn't say how it arrives. Ask whether it comes assembled, and whether they install.

Will it last?

The warranty isn't published. Outdoors, treat the outside once a year.
