Found it lower? We'll match it,before or after you buy. ?
Send us a link to the lower price. If it is the same model, new and in stock at an authorized U.S. online retailer, we match it. Already ordered? If it was lower on your order date, claim the difference within 30 days.
Excludes sale pricing, marketplace sellers and later price drops.
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.
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.
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 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 power
6 to 7.5 kW
A heater package is a separate purchase, hard-wired on its own 240-volt circuit by an electrician. Each package carries its control and its stones, so the rest of the list is a level base and the electrician.

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.
Finishes and optionsNatural or black, and what changes
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. The only difference is the colour of the outside.
The two finishes
Natural
Arrives as bare Thermo-Spruce, with the front details painted black at the factory. Nothing to apply.
Black
The same cabin, plus two tins of black sauna paint in the crate, which you or your installer brush on once the shell is standing.
The CL5G in black.
If you choose black
The paint travels in the crate rather than on the cabin, and that is deliberate: a scuff shows far more on a black wall than on bare timber, and standing the shell first lets you reach the joints and end grain that are hidden while the panels are apart. It is PROSAUNAS SaunaShield, a quick-drying water-based paint made for sauna exteriors, so it goes on with a brush and a dry afternoon. Keep what is left in the tin for touching up. Choosing black changes the look and the upkeep, nothing else: the heater range, the electrical supply and the warranty are the same on both.
Heater and power6 to 7.5 kW · control and stones included
The decision that blocks the purchase
Choosing the heater for your CL5G
Two decisions, in this order: how many kilowatts, then which heater. The kilowatts follow the room, and for the CL5G that is 6 to 7.5 kW.
These are the four we sell for it, and they are the four behind the Add a heater and accessories button above Add to Cart. Each one is a package: heater, control and stones together, so nothing is missing when the pallet arrives.
Whichever you choose, the heater is hard-wired onto its own 240-volt circuit, and the 6 kW Harvia heaters draw 25 A at 240 V. Your electrician sizes the breaker and the cable from the installation instructions for that heater and from your local code, and the length of the run from your panel is usually what decides the cost.
One thing worth raising before you order: Harvia gives a minimum sauna height of 75 inches for these heaters, and the CL5G's interior is 74.8. Ask us and we will confirm the fit with Harvia for the heater you want.
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. They assume a 6 kW heater at 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 in your hours; your own rate is on your bill.
What is includedWhat is in the crate, and what is not
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. Here is everything in it.

What the kit builds: three bench surfaces around the heater.
Check the heater guard against your heater. Put the heater in place first. The guard supplied does not clear every heater's safety distances, and one piece of it can be cut to length for a smaller heater.

Before you orderCheap to settle now, expensive later
Before you order
Six things to check before the CL5G ships
Six questions, all of them cheap to answer now and expensive to answer once a 1,680 lb pallet is in your driveway.
Has your electrician seen your panel?The heater is hard-wired onto its own 240-volt circuit, and the 6 kW Harvia heaters draw 25 A at 240 V. Your electrician will tell you in one visit whether your panel has room.
How far is the cabin from the panel?The longer the run, the heavier the cable, and that is usually the biggest number in the electrical quote. Measure it before you ask for one.
Does your town want a permit?Ask your building department whether the structure, the electrical work or both need one, and what setbacks apply to your lot.
Will the pallet reach the spot?It is 81 × 44 × 42 inches. Measure your gate and the route from the kerb to the base.
Is the base level, and does it drain?Replace the soil under the sauna with well-drained, load-bearing material. The walls are stacked staves, so a level base matters more here than it would under a shed.
Going on a deck?The kit alone is 1,680 lbs, before the heater, the stones and four bathers. Have a structural engineer confirm the deck can carry it before you order.
Delivery and assemblyThe pallet, the truck, and the build
On delivery
What to check when your SaunaLife CL5G is delivered
The kit arrives as one pallet, 81 × 44 × 42 inches and 1,680 pounds, on a freight truck. Five minutes at the kerb protects the whole order.
Before delivery
Measure your gate and the route to the base against the 81 × 44 × 42 in pallet, and line up a second pair of hands.
At the truck
Photograph the pallet and any damage before you sign the delivery receipt.
Before you build
Unbox everything and look it over before you start building. Once a damaged part is installed it counts as accepted, so this is the moment to spot it.
Our policy if the delivery is damaged. Cosmetic damage can be accepted. If a carton is punctured or crushed, or the sauna itself is damaged, refuse that item and call us while the driver is still there.
Assembly
Building the SaunaLife CL5G
The parts arrive numbered, with step-by-step instructions in the crate. SaunaLife does not publish a build time, and you will want a second pair of hands.
Have these ready before the pallet arrives: a circular saw, a tape measure, a marker, a water level, a drill, a crescent wrench, a utility knife, a rubber mallet, a ratchet strap, a hammer and a screwdriver. The order matters in two places. Leave the band nuts loose until the shell is up, so the staves have room to settle, and put the heater in before the heater guard.
Before the first proper session
Harvia asks you to run a new heater for an hour before anyone uses the sauna, with the room well ventilated. It burns off the manufacturing residue, and the room smells of timber rather than factory afterwards.
If you would rather not build it yourself, professional setup and assembly is quoted for your address. Ask for a quote here and the form opens on this page.
Warranty and serviceWhat it covers, and who covers it
After the sale
Who stands behind the CL5G, and for how long
Two companies stand behind your sauna: SaunaLife for the cabin, and whoever made the heater for the heater. Both are written warranties, and between them your whole purchase is covered.
Who covers what
The cabin
SaunaLife, for two years, on defects in workmanship in residential use, from delivery to the original buyer
The heater and stones
The heater's own manufacturer, under its own warranty. Harvia, HUUM and the rest each publish their own term
Residential use
SaunaLife's cabin warranty applies to homes. A commercial installation is outside it, so talk to us first if the sauna is for a gym, a spa or a rental
Keep SaunaLife's warranty with your heater's, your delivery receipt and your electrician's invoice, and a claim takes one phone call instead of three.
How it is made42 mm Thermo-Spruce, two outer bands
Construction
What the CL5G is made of
Two outer bands hold the stave shell, under a shingle roof with drip rails.
Walls of solid timber, 42 mm thick. Thermo-Spruce staves, 42 mm through the sides and 28 mm front and back, drawn together by two steel bands that wrap the shell. No frame, no panels, no cavity: the wall you touch inside is the wall you see outside.
Timber that has been through the kiln, not the chemistry set. Thermal modification is heat and steam. It drives the moisture and resin out of the spruce, which is what leaves it stable outdoors and pleasant to lean against at 190°F. SaunaLife designs these cabins and has them handcrafted in Northern Europe.
A proper shingled roof. Underlay felt, a shingle kit and drip rails, in the arched crown of the stave shell, so water runs off the way it does off a house.

Compare the Cube SeriesWhere the CL5G sits in the range
Sizing within the range
SaunaLife CL5G against the rest of the Cube Series
Every Cube has the same 42 mm Thermo-Spruce walls, bronze glass front and shingled roof. The CL5G is the one that adds a third bench surface without a big jump in ground. What the others change is footprint, seating and output.
Choose the CL5G for its upper, lower and side benches. The CL4G is 13.8 inches shallower, with one bench and a footrest step, and the CL7G is larger inside and out.
Buyer questionsWhat buyers ask before ordering
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?
6 to 7.5 kW. No heater is included. Add one with the Add a heater and accessories button above Add to Cart: the HUUM DROP 7, the Harvia KIP60B, The Wall SW60 or the Cilindro PC60. Each package carries its control and stones, and we badge the one we recommend.
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?
The CL5G is built from solid timber rather than from insulated panels: 42 mm Thermo-Spruce staves through the sides, 28 mm front and back. There is nothing for you to add, and the wall thickness is what the heater sizing is based on.
Does the SaunaLife CL5G come with a heater guard and lighting?
Yes, both. A white LED light bar with a Wi-Fi app and a handheld remote is included, and so is a heater guard. Check the guard against your chosen heater's safety distances, because it does not clear every model.
What is the warranty on the SaunaLife CL5G?
SaunaLife covers the cabin for two years on defects in workmanship in residential use, from delivery to the original buyer. Your heater is covered by the company that made it, under its own warranty. Our SaunaLife warranty policy page has the full terms.
