$7,200.00Three cabin saunas, $6,953 to $7,999 — one each from Dundalk LeisureCraft, Medical Saunas and Golden Designs, seating two to five.
A cabin is a shape, not a technology
Cabin means a square or rectangular room rather than a barrel, and it says nothing about how the room is heated. The Golden Designs Vorarlberg here is an 8.0kW outdoor traditional build for five; the Medical Saunas Traditional 5 is a two-person steam-heat unit. Same shape, different products. Read the heater before the silhouette.
Cabin against barrel
A barrel sauna heats faster for the same footprint because the curved shell encloses less air. A cabin gives you full-height headroom, straight walls to sit against and an easier door, and it looks like a building rather than an object. Barrels start lower at $4,999. If the sauna is going somewhere visible from the house, the choice is usually made on that rather than on heat-up time.
Delivery
Free shipping to the lower 48, no minimum, and it stops at the curb — the crate is left at the end of your driveway. Getting it inside is a $600 white-glove upgrade. Getting it inside and assembled is $1,800, which covers everything except electrical work: we recommend you hire a local electrician for that, because the wiring has to meet your local code and pass local inspection. Service fees are non-refundable: if the sauna goes back, the installation does not.
