Harvia sells the heater and the stones separately and states the weight each model holds. Old or crumbling stones restrict airflow and shorten element life, so they are replaced rather than reused.

How does delivery work?
How does delivery work?
Freight, not parcel. Shipping is quoted per model and charged at checkout, and you see the exact figure before you pay.
When it ships. Stock across a range this size moves week to week, so we confirm the position for your model when you order rather than publishing an average that would be wrong for half the catalog.
How you will know. You get a tracking notification by email once your order ships. On a freight shipment the updates come from the carrier's own portal rather than standard UPS or FedEx tracking, so we include the carrier name, the PRO tracking number and a link to their tracking tool.
How it arrives. Palletized on an LTL carrier, or on a flat bed for the largest cabins. The carrier calls to arrange a window, someone must be there to sign, and delivery is to the curb. Pallets run up to 81 inches wide, so check the route from where a truck can stop to where the sauna will sit before you order.
Where it ships. Rates cover the contiguous 48 states. Canada is higher and set by SaunaLife, and Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are always quoted case by case, so contact us before ordering.
If it arrives damaged. Inspect every crate with the driver still there and write any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign. SaunaLife excludes damage that would have been visible on inspection, so a clean signature can cost you the claim. Call us from the driveway.
What does the warranty cover?
What does the warranty cover?
Two years, residential. Defects in workmanship under normal use, from the date you take delivery, to the original retail purchaser. Keep your receipt.
Repair or replace. SaunaLife chooses which, and may substitute a component of equivalent value. A replaced part carries the remaining term rather than starting a new one.
Not covered. Installation and delivery, normal wear, user damage, and the way wood behaves: knots, grain and tone differences, shrinkage, moderate deformation and weathering. Accessories carry one year. Cleaners, wax, paint and oils carry 60 days.
Residential only. Commercial use voids it, so call before you order if the sauna goes into a gym, spa, clinic or any other business and we will confirm the terms in writing.
The heater is separate. A SaunaLife sauna does not include a heater, so the heater, its control unit and its stones fall under that manufacturer's warranty.
Transport damage must be caught on delivery. Damage that would have been detectable by visual inspection before installation is excluded. Inspect the crates with the driver, write any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, and photograph everything before you move it. Once panels are assembled, a claim for damage that was visible beforehand is very hard to win.
Who handles it. We handle the claim with SaunaLife for you. Call (888) 500-5675 with your order number, photographs and a description of the fault.
What if I need to return it?
What if I need to return it?
30 days from purchase. The unit must be new, uninstalled and in resalable condition with its original crating and all included parts. Once panels have been screwed together, a tub has been filled or a stove has been fired, it counts as installed and cannot be returned.
What a return costs. A 20 percent restocking fee may be deducted from your refund on a standard customer return.
Who pays the freight. You do on a change of mind, and on a crated sauna that is a real number rather than a formality, so ask us for a figure before you commit. The freight you paid at checkout is not refunded either.
When it is our fault. If the cause is shipping damage or an error on our side, we and the distributor cover the return and nothing is deducted.
Damaged on arrival. A different process, and it is time sensitive. Note the damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, photograph the crates before you move anything, and call us the same day. Transit damage is resolved by replacement parts rather than by return.
Cancelling before it ships. No fee at all before we submit your order to the manufacturer. After we submit it but before it ships, an administrative fee of up to 5 percent may apply, and we waive it whenever we are not charged.
To start a return. Call (888) 500-5675. A Return Authorization number is required before anything goes back.

The short answer
The SaunaLife CL5G is a 4-person outdoor sauna kit with three bench surfaces
Three bench surfaces. The CL5G has an upper bench, a lower bench 73.23 inches long and a side bench, where the shallower CL4G has one bench and a footrest step. It stands on 35.3 square feet of ground, 80.7 inches wide and 63 inches deep.
The ground
80.7 × 63 in
That is the cabin itself, on a level base. Allow working room around it to assemble the shell and to reach the back afterwards.
The people
Up to 4
SaunaLife lists the CL5G for up to 4 persons. An upper bench, a lower bench 73.23 inches long and a side bench.
The project
Four more line items
The heater and its stones, the base and the electrician are separate from the cabin, and freight is charged at checkout. A heater guard is included. Call us and we will walk you through each one before you order.
Walkthrough
Thirty seconds inside the SaunaLife CL5G
A short walkthrough of the SaunaLife CL5G.
Watch it alongside the seating measurements below: the drawing gives the numbers, and the video gives the proportions of the room.
The bench layout
Three bench surfaces for up to four people
SaunaLife lists the CL5G for up to 4 persons. Every measurement below is taken from SaunaLife's CL5G dimension drawing.
| Upper bench | 75.98 × 17.72 in, 29.13 in off the floor |
|---|---|
| Lower bench | 73.23 in long, 14.25 in off the floor, running back beneath the upper bench |
| Side bench | 23.62 × 17.32 in |
| Interior height | 74.8 in, the same as the CL4G |
| Timber | Thermo-Aspen bench and ergonomic backrest |
SaunaLife's care guide advises using seating pads or a towel on the bench, and avoiding sitting on it in wet swimwear.
Four people, three bench surfaces
The CL5G is 13.8 inches deeper than the CL4G. The CL4G has one bench and an 8.27-inch footrest step. The CL5G has an upper bench; a lower bench 73.23 inches long that runs back beneath it and, on SaunaLife's drawing, extends 9.84 inches in front of it; and a side bench 23.62 by 17.32 inches.
Drying the cabin after each use
SaunaLife's sauna care guide says to ventilate the room after each use and let the surfaces dry, to wipe the benches with a clean, damp cloth rather than a stream of water, and to keep the door closed when the sauna is not in use.
Finish
Natural or black, and what the difference really is
SaunaLife builds the CL5G in two finishes. It is the same cabin either way: the same timber, the same benching, the same glass. What changes is how the outside is treated, and when.
| Natural | Supplied uncoated. The front details are painted black at the factory. |
|---|---|
| Black | Black front details, plus two 2.7 litre tins of PROSAUNAS SaunaShield black sauna paint. |
| Applied by | You or your installer, after the cabin is standing. The shell is not painted at the factory. |
| Coverage | SaunaShield covers 8 to 10 square metres per litre on planed timber. |
Why the paint travels in the crate instead of on the cabin
A finished cabin has to survive the same freight journey as a bare one. Strapping, forklift handling and the staves working against each other in transit all mark a painted surface, and a scuff shows far more on a black wall than on raw timber. Painting once the shell is standing gives an even coat with nothing to touch up, and it lets you reach the joints and end grain that are hidden once the panels are apart.
What applying it involves
SaunaShield is a water-based acrylate made for the outside of a sauna. PROSAUNAS give coverage as 8 to 10 square metres per litre on planed timber, and describe the coating as quick drying with a 12 year durability under proper maintenance. Work to the instructions on the tin for preparation, number of coats and drying time, and keep what is left for touching up later.
The black finish is a choice about appearance and upkeep, not about how the sauna is built or how it performs. Heater sizing, the electrical supply and the warranty are identical on both.
Before you order
Six things to check before the CL5G ships
Every one of these is cheap to settle now and expensive to settle once a 1,680 lb pallet is in your driveway.
- Panel space for the circuit your electrician specifies.Harvia's installation manuals list 25 A at 240 V for the 6 kW KIP60, and for The Wall SW60 on a single-group connection. Your electrician works from the manual for the heater you choose and from your local code.
- Your building department's position on a hard-wired sauna.Permit rules for detached accessory structures vary by jurisdiction. Call your building department before you order and ask whether a permit is needed for the structure, for the electrical work or for both, and what setbacks apply to your lot.
- The cable run from the panel to the cabin.Distance affects the wire your electrician specifies. Have the run measured before you ask for a quote.
- Gate width against pallet width.The pallet is 81 × 44 × 42 in. Measure the gate and the route to the base against that before delivery day.
- A level base that drains.SaunaLife's care guide says to replace the soil under the sauna with well-drained, load-bearing material. Step 2 of the CL5G manual squares the kit's foundation frame by checking that its diagonals are equal, and the tool list includes a water level.
- Deck placement, if it is going on a deck.The kit ships at 1,680 lb, before the heater, the stones and the bathers. Have a licensed structural engineer confirm the deck can carry it before you order.
Not sure on any of them? Call (888) 500-5675 and we will go through the list with you before you order.
Construction
Three things about the CL5G you cannot change later
Forty-two millimetre Thermo-Spruce walls. The walls are 42 mm Thermo-Spruce, held by two outer bands, with 28 mm front and back walls.
Thermally modified timber. SaunaLife describes its Thermo-Spruce as organically thermally enhanced, and as stronger and more dimensionally stable, and says it will far outlast conventional wood. The cabin is designed by SaunaLife and handcrafted in Northern Europe.
A shingled roof. The roof is underlay felt and a shingle kit with drip rails, as SaunaLife specifies.
This is a traditional sauna heated by stones rather than infrared panels. If you are still choosing between the two, our infrared versus traditional guide sets out the difference. The Cube Series sits in the full SaunaLife range.
No insulation layer is listed. Neither SaunaLife's package contents nor its CL5G installation manual lists an insulation layer or an R-value. The walls are 42 mm of solid Thermo-Spruce.
The decision that blocks the purchase
Which heaters SaunaLife lists for the CL5G
Six of the eight heaters on SaunaLife's recommended list for the CL5G are 6 kW, and so is every heater our selector carries for it. The heater is sold separately, and it is the only choice on this page that is difficult to reverse.
| Output | On SaunaLife's list | Nameplate draw |
|---|---|---|
| 6 kWOn SaunaLife's list | Harvia KIP60B and KIP60W, Cilindro PC60 and PC60E, and The Wall SW60 and SWS60 | 25 A at 240 V for the Harvia KIP60, and for The Wall SW60 on a single-group connection |
| 7.5 kW | HUUM DROP 7.5. Not in our selector; call and we will source it | In the heater's installation manual |
| 8 kW | Harvia TopClass KV80. Not in our selector; call and we will source it | In the heater's installation manual |
Nameplate draw is not circuit size. Your electrician sizes the breaker and conductors from the heater manufacturer's installation manual and your local code.
Harvia's installation manuals publish a room-size range for each heater. The KIP manual lists the 6 kW KIP60 for 28 to 40 square feet of floor and 170 to 300 cubic feet of room, and The Wall manual lists the SW60 for 28 to 47 square feet and 177 to 294 cubic feet. The CL5G's interior is 29.5 square feet of floor and 184.1 cubic feet of volume, inside both ranges. Both manuals give a minimum sauna height of 1,900 mm, printed as 75 inches, and SaunaLife's drawing gives the CL5G's interior height as about 74.8 inches (190 cm), so ask the heater manufacturer to confirm the fit before you order.
SaunaLife's list also names the 8 kW Harvia TopClass KV80; check the room-size range in the KV80's installation manual against the CL5G's 184.1 cubic feet before choosing it. Our selector follows SaunaLife's list. Go through the installation manual for the heater you choose with your electrician before you order, and call (888) 500-5675 if you would like to go through SaunaLife's list with us.
Our selector for this cabin carries the Harvia KIP60B, Cilindro PC60 and The Wall SW60, all with their controls built into the heater. The room sizes above do not cover the Cilindro PC60; check its installation manual before you choose it. You can also browse Harvia sauna heaters or every electric sauna heater we carry.
SaunaLife does not publish a heat-up time for this cabin, so we do not quote one.
Ask your electrician about ground-fault protection before they quote. Harvia's KIP manual says a ground fault interrupter should not be installed in a sauna, and its manual for The Wall says not to connect the heater's power feed through one. Requirements for outdoor circuits depend on the electrical code your jurisdiction has adopted, so ask your electrician how the code and the heater's manual apply before the circuit is designed.
Running cost
Estimating what the CL5G costs to run
Buyers ask this in dollars, so here are worked examples with every input shown.
Example: one hour at full output
$1.10
6 kWh at 18.34 cents
Example: three hours a week
$14
Per month, at full output
Example: a year at three hours a week
$172
52 weeks, at full output
These are worked examples, not a quote or a maximum. They assume a 6 kW heater at its rated output for every hour counted, at 18.34 cents per kilowatt-hour, the US residential average in the EIA's Electric Power Monthly for June 2026. Count heat-up time in your hours. Your own cost will differ with your electricity rate and its fees, your supply voltage, the heater and lighting you use, and the weather. Your rate is on your electricity bill.
Scope
What you get, and what you also need
The kit ships as one pallet, 81 × 44 × 42 inches and 1,680 pounds, by LTL freight. SaunaLife's package contents and CL5G manual list the following.
- Thermo-Spruce walls, 42 mmwith 28 mm front and back walls
- Tempered bronze glass front wall, 8 mm
- Thermo-Aspen bench and ergonomic backrest
- Shingles on the roofwith underlay felt and fascia board
- Foundation frameshown in step 2 of the manual
- Heater guard
- Upper and lower vents, and front details painted black
- White LED light bar with Wi-Fi apphandheld remote and cradle, 90 W power supply, driver and 30 ft cable
- Montage kit and installation instructions
Check the heater guard against your heater. SaunaLife's CL5G manual says the heater guard may not meet the safety distances of all heaters and should not be used if the heater does not fit. It says to place the heater first, and allows one guard piece to be cut to length for a smaller heater.
Required before it runs
- Electric heater and stones6 kW, from SaunaLife's list. Harvia lists stones as required and sold separately
- A level baseWell drained and load bearing, per SaunaLife's care guide
- Licensed electricianPermit requirements vary; check with your building department
Optional
- Assembly by a contractorOr professional setup and assembly
- Bucket, ladle and thermometer
Freight is set by SaunaLife and shown at checkout before you pay.
Assembly
Building the SaunaLife CL5G
Components arrive as numbered parts, and SaunaLife's CL5G installation manual takes you through the build step by step. SaunaLife does not publish a build time.
The manual's tool list names a circular saw, measuring tape, marker pen, water level, drill, crescent wrench, utility knife, rubber mallet, ratchet strap, hammer and screwdriver, plus extra hands. Check you have all of them before the pallet arrives.
The manual places the ratchet strap near the ends of the boards while the two outer bands go on. It says to leave a quarter-inch gap when tightening the screws, so there is room for adjustment when the bands are installed, and not to tighten the band nuts fully at first. The heater goes in before the heater guard.
Before the first proper session
The CL5G manual has no first-use section, so follow the manual for the heater you choose. Harvia's KIP manual says to run the heater for an hour before using the sauna for the first time, and its manual for The Wall says to ventilate the room well during the first heating.

Buyer questions
SaunaLife CL5G questions buyers ask before ordering
Does the SaunaLife CL5G fit four people?
SaunaLife lists the CL5G for up to 4 persons. It has three bench surfaces: an upper bench 75.98 by 17.72 inches, a lower bench 73.23 inches long and a side bench 23.62 by 17.32 inches.
What size heater does the SaunaLife CL5G need?
Six of the eight heaters on SaunaLife's recommended list for the CL5G are 6 kW; the others are the 7.5 kW HUUM DROP 7.5 and the 8 kW Harvia TopClass KV80, and the heater is sold separately. Harvia's KIP manual lists its 6 kW KIP60 for rooms of 28 to 40 square feet and 170 to 300 cubic feet, and the CL5G's interior, 29.5 square feet and 184.1 cubic feet, is inside that range. Go through the installation manual for the heater you choose with your electrician before you order.
What are the SaunaLife CL5G dimensions and footprint?
The CL5G is 80.7 inches wide, 63 inches deep and 82.7 inches high outside, on 35.3 square feet of ground. Inside it is 77.2 by 55.1 inches and 74.8 inches high, with 184.1 cubic feet of volume.
Is the SaunaLife CL5G insulated?
SaunaLife does not list an insulation layer or an R-value for the CL5G. The walls are 42 mm solid Thermo-Spruce, with 28 mm front and back walls.
Does the SaunaLife CL5G come with a heater guard and lighting?
Yes. SaunaLife's package contents include a heater guard, and its CL5G manual says the guard may not meet the safety distances of all heaters and should not be used if the heater does not fit. A white LED light bar with a Wi-Fi app and a handheld remote is also included.
What is the warranty on the SaunaLife CL5G?
SaunaLife's website lists a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The warranty document itself, Rev 260220, covers defects in workmanship for two years in residential use from delivery to the original retail purchaser, and does not cover sauna heaters or commercial use. Our SaunaLife warranty page summarizes the terms, and you can get a free copy of SaunaLife's written warranty by calling (888) 500-5675.
