CUBIO 180 Outdoor Sauna for 3, Solid Spruce, Harvia Heater Included
Harvia PC70 heater and 20 kg of stones included
Most outdoor saunas in the UK are listed without a heater. Adding one usually costs another £529 to £1,770. This one is priced with the heater and its stones already in it.
01Heater
Both heaters are matched to this cabin size — the PC90 is the higher-output option and needs a 40 A supply instead of 35 A.
02Door
The black door comes with Black Edition — no need to add it twice.
03Add-ons optional
Your build
You arrange the prepared base and the fixed electrical connection. On-site assembly is not included.

Before it arrives
The three numbers that decide your site
35A
Its own circuit, wired by a competent electrician
The heater needs a dedicated 35 A supply in 6 mm² rubber H07RN-F cable — the same order of supply as an electric shower. PVC cable is not permitted. Electrical work is not included in the price, so get a quote before you order.
185 × 220 cm on the ground
That is 4.1 m² on the ground. It needs a firm, level base — a slab, paving or compacted gravel all work — and the floor and base frame come with it. Planning rules are a separate question: check the Planning Portal and your local authority before you install it.
690kg
One crate, three pallet spaces
It travels as a single protective crate, 240 × 120 × 100 cm, and comes off the lorry on a Moffett to the nearest safe hard-standing point. Grass and soft ground do not count as hard-standing. Delivery is calculated by postcode at checkout.
All measurements are approximate.
Fit and scale
Three people inside a 1.85 × 2.20 m footprint.
CUBIO 180 is the shortest cube in the range. The 2.20 m width does the work; the 1.85 m length keeps it usable in a small garden. The sauna room takes 1.75 m of that length — there is no separate changing lobby at this size.
| External footprint | 1850 × 2200 mm |
| Sauna room depth | 1750 mm |
| Internal clear width | 2060 mm |
| Door opening | 1770 × 690 mm |
| Capacity | Up to 3 people |

A proportional guide to the footprint, not an installation drawing. External height is left off deliberately — the factory drawings do not carry it, and we would rather leave a gap than publish a number we cannot stand behind. We are asking for it.

Finish
It arrives untreated. The colour is yours to choose.
The cabin ships as bare spruce, so the first job after assembly is treating the outside. Use whatever exterior wood preservative or stain you prefer — there is no proprietary product to buy from us, and no shade you are locked into. Treat it before first use, then keep to whatever interval that product specifies.
Illustrations of finishes the timber can take. They are not photographs of delivered cabins, and the shade you get depends on the product you choose and how many coats you apply.

Maintenance
The straps are meant to be re-tightened
-
01After about a month
The timber settlesSolid spruce moves as it dries and settles into place. The first take-up is the one that matters — go round every strap with a spanner once the cabin has been standing for a few weeks.
Once, ~1 month in
-
02Every year after that
A two-minute jobAfter the first take-up the movement is seasonal rather than structural. One round a year keeps the walls tight. It takes a spanner and a couple of minutes per strap.
Once a year
-
03Why it matters
Nobody else publishes thisNo sauna seller in the UK puts a re-tightening schedule on the page, which is why owners tend to find out from a creaking wall instead of a manual. It is not a fault — it is how a strapped timber cabin works.
Not a defect
Questions people ask
What does it stand on?
A firm, level base. A concrete slab, paving or compacted gravel all work. The cabin arrives with its own timber floor and base frame, so nothing needs building underneath it.
What electrical work will I need?
A dedicated 35 A circuit run to the cabin in 6 mm² H07RN-F rubber cable, designed, installed, tested and certified by a competent electrician to BS 7671. PVC cable is not permitted. That work is not included in the price, and it is worth getting a quote before you order.
Do I need planning permission?
Planning permission and Building Regulations are separate things, and neither answer is automatic. What applies can depend on the height of the building, where you put it, how close it sits to a boundary, and the property itself. Check the Planning Portal and your local authority before you install it.
Can I use it in winter?
Yes. It is an outdoor cabin and the heater is sized for the room.
How do I look after the outside?
The cabin ships as bare spruce, which means the colour is your decision rather than ours. Use any exterior wood preservative or stain you like, in any shade, and put it on before first use. After that, keep to whatever interval that product specifies.
What if something arrives damaged or missing?
Tell us and we send the part. We hold spares rather than replacing whole cabins.
How long does assembly take?
Eight to twelve hours with two people. It is a flat-pack cabin, not a kit of loose boards — the panels are pre-cut and pre-drilled. You need a TORX T25 and PZ2 bit, an 8 mm spanner and a drill. The manual travels in the crate.
What does the warranty cover?
Two years on the cabin structure against manufacturing defects. That sits on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act, which are not affected by anything we say here. If a part arrives damaged or missing, we send the part rather than replacing the whole cabin.
Can I return it?
Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. This is a made-to-order cabin, but that does not remove the right. Because it travels as a 690 kg crate, a return needs a booked collection — talk to us first and we will arrange it and confirm the cost before anything moves.
