Traditional Scandinavian Design
The Garden Sauna has a classic beauty in its elegant simplicity. Our Garden Saunas are constructed with interlocking Scandinavian Thermowood staves. This interlocking system allows the wood to expand and contract naturally, and form a tight seal. Not only is our Garden Sauna lovely to look at, its design holds in heat and can be assembled without complex woodworking.
Thermowood Construction
Thermowood is created by heat treating Scandinavian softwood to temperatures ranging from 180 – 230° in special chamber kilns for up to 96 hours. Steam is used as a protective gas and helps to prevent the wood from splitting and becoming damaged during treatment.

Thermowood's Characteristics & Qualities
This process causes chemical and structural changes to occur within the timber, which therefore alters some of its characteristics and qualities. Some of the characteristics and qualities that make Thermowood such a popular specie includes:
Dimensionally Stable – The intensive heat the wood is exposed to during its production dries out deep into the core, causing all moisture and resin to be removed from the timber. Thermowood therefore doesn’t react to changes in humidity as drastically as untreated wood (the risk of swelling, cracking and shrinkage is decreased), allowing it to retain its shape far better. The wood also doesn’t secrete sap or resin even in high temperatures.
Environemntally Friendly – The softwood used to produce Thermowood originates from well-managed, PEFC-certified forests, and as no chemicals or foreign substances are involved during its production, Thermowood is an environmentally friendly material produced by using only natural methods.
Resistance to Rot and Fungi – Due to the heating process breaking down hemicellulose, the wood doesn’t contain the appropriate nutrients to allow rot and fungi to grow and develop.
Increased Longevity – When wood is treated with heat, its average life span is prolonged meaning your sauna will last a lifetime!
Improved Insulation – Wood that has been heat treated is much more porous than untreated wood, vastly improving its insulating properties.
Harvia Sauna Heater, Made In Finland
Harvia is the world’s leading sauna heater manufacturer and Harvia heaters are considered the industry gold-standard. Harvia is was established in Finland in 1950 and has built an international reputation for exceptional quality. With a Harvia heater, you know you are getting a reliable product that you and your family can trust. All our Harvia sauna heaters are ETL certified and are manufactured in Finland. Our heaters are made from stainless steel and coated with a red enamel on the exterior.
Manual Control or Wi-Fi Control Heater Options
Our manual control heaters have two dials: a temperature dial and a timer. The timer can be set for up to an 8-hour delay, meaning you set your heater to come on while you are out and your sauna will be ready when you get home.
Our digital Wi-Fi heaters can be controlled via the digital wall pad mounted nearby your sauna, or from any smartphone or tablet. The big convenience of the Wi-Fi control is the remote start capability which allows you to pre-heat your sauna from anywhere—whether at the office or on the slopes. With few taps on your phone, your sauna will be ready when you get home. Wi-Fi heaters can also be pre-set to come on at a specific time of day, such as early in the morning.
Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade a manual control heater to a digital Wi-Fi system in the future. While the manual and digital heaters look very similar, they are in fact totally different heaters. This means you must select the control system you are going with at the outset.
On-Site Assembly Process
All our sauna kits are designed with the DIY customer in mind. Most cedar barrel saunas can be assembled by two people with basic handyperson skills in 3-4 hours. Our garden sauna has a more complex assembly process due to the glass front window and stadium steading. This sauna can certainly be assembled by a non-professional, however, the level of DIY skill required is higher and the woodworking involved is more complex. As a result, the build time for garden sauna is longer. If you are less confident in your DIY skills, we recommend working with a friend or relative with more DIY project experience.

Quality Products and Easy to Assemble
Mar 1st 2023I have ordered 2 saunas and would order another. The product was as advertised and came professionally packaged, used quality products and was easy to assemble. We bought both the garden sauna and barrel sauna and I assembled them each with no assistance. I would highly recommend Redwood if you are looking to purchase a sauna!

![HARVIA KIP ELECTRIC HEATER]()
HARVIA KIP ELECTRIC HEATER
The KIP family of electric sauna heaters are traditional Finnish wall-mounted heaters. They heat up fast and reach high temperatures of ~190F within one hour. This design holds up to 40 lbs of rocks, on which you can douse water to create soothing steam. The KIP creates a relatively dry heat and you should expect ~15-25% relative humidity in the sauna. The KIP comes in an attractive stainless steel exterior case that easily mounts on your sauna wall.
Harvia is the world’s leading sauna heater manufacturer and Harvia heaters are considered the industry gold standard. Harvia was established in Finland in 1950 and has built an international reputation for exceptional quality. With a Harvia heater, you know you are getting a reliable product that you and your family can trust. All our Harvia sauna heaters are ETL certified and are manufactured in Finland.

![HARVIA CILINDRO ELECTRIC HEATER]()
HARVIA CILINDRO ELECTRIC HEATER
The Finnish word “löyly” is the name for the hot steam that rises from your sauna rocks after water has been carefully poured on top of them. The steam turns your sauna into a hot and humid paradise, capable of relaxing even the tensest muscles or stressed minds.
The Cilindro specializes in creating a lot of steam. This is because the heater holds 160 lbs of rocks! All these rocks create a more even heat distribution and an incredible löyly that would make any Finn proud.
The Cilindro has a slightly longer heat-up time than the KIP, due to the number of rocks and is designed to run at a lower absolute temperature. The temperature you should expect from this heater is ~165F, which is the perfect temperature for a steamy sauna (>30% relative humidity) to prevent scalding. Due to the higher humidity in the room, the perceived temperature in the sauna will feel comparable to a drier sauna running at a higher absolute temperature.

![HUUM DROP ELECTRIC HEATER]()
HUUM DROP ELECTRIC HEATER
The HUUM DROP is an award-winning sauna heater. Made in Estonia, this eye-catching heater is quickly emerging as a stand-out in modern sauna design. Its shape is inspired by the purest element in nature – a water drop. Its round design softens and livens up the interior of a classic sauna, giving it a touch of elegance.
But DROP isn’t only about the looks. This compact wall-mounted heater can fit up to 120 lbs of sauna rocks. This guarantees both hot temperatures and long-lasting steam. The HUUM is fast to heat up and can reach temperatures of ~195F. The HUUM creates more steam than the KIP heater, but less than the Cilindro heater. It's somewhere in the middle in terms of its “löyly” potential.
Every HUUM DROP heater comes delivered with HUUM sauna stones and a HUUM UKU Wi-Fi controller. This makes it a must-have heater for customers who like a modern look, combined with modern functionality.

![HARVIA M3 WOOD STOVE]()
HARVIA M3 WOOD STOVE
Classic wood-burning saunas are very special. The crackling fire, warm steam from the rocks, and the ritual of tending the fire all combine to create a timeless and unforgettable experience. The Harvia M3 is a compact wood-burning stove that is perfect for our saunas. The M3 is made by Harvia, the most trusted brand in the sauna industry. Built-in Finland, it is designed to meet rigorous European quality standards.
Harvia does not include a chimney kit with the stove. Installation of the chimney requires cutting a circular hole in the roof staves. This could be performed by a carpenter or a more experienced DIY customer. You will need a chimney and stove accessories. You will need to purchase 8’ of 6" diameter double-wall stove pipe, interior protective flashing, a chimney collar, and an external rain flange.
Also, note that the M3 wood stove is larger than the electric heaters and reduces the seating capacity of the sauna.
