Camilla Traditional Outdoor Sauna 3-4 Person

No. The price shown is for the sauna without a heater. Choose your heater in "Design your sauna" on this page; the price updates as you choose.

Final wiring must be completed by a qualified electrician; electrical connection is not included with sauna assembly.

While it's technically possible to assemble the sauna yourself, we strongly recommend having a qualified carpenter or joiner assist you—especially if you don't have prior experience with carpentry or working with wood.

The assembly manual is detailed and user-friendly for those familiar with construction, but without that background, the process can be challenging and time-consuming. Most of our customers choose professional installation for peace of mind and to ensure everything is assembled correctly.

Please note: improper assembly or failure to follow the manual may void the warranty, so if in doubt, we recommend seeking professional help.

Assembly for this model starts at £1,000 + VAT. The final cost depends on your location, as prices increase the further our team travels from London. A team of three carpenters will usually build it in one full day.

Use the Request an Installation Quote link under Add to Cart and complete the form with your postcode, access and site details. We will confirm the exact installation price from that information. Installation is invoiced separately and typically arranged closer to the delivery date. You can use a local carpenter, but our team has extensive experience assembling this model.

The Camilla seats three people in comfort or four at classic sauna closeness.

Its L-shaped benches also allow one person to lie down while leaving limited seated space on the return bench. The exact fit depends on each user's height and preferred personal space.

The sauna should be installed on a solid, level, well-drained base, such as a concrete pad, slabbed patio or structurally suitable deck. The key requirement is that the base remains completely flat and stable under the full load.

For the Camilla 3–4 Person, allow for the 600 kg sauna plus 400 kg for up to four users, based on 100 kg per person. The base must therefore support a combined load of at least 1,000 kg (1 tonne), spread across the full ground-contact frame. Give this figure to the person building the base so they can select the right construction and safety margin for your site.

Avoid slopes and areas where water can collect around the sauna. For added protection, we recommend fitting continuous bitumen strips or a suitable waterproof membrane between the prepared base and the timber base frame, as shown below. These are the strips we recommend. If you buy them in advance, our installation team can fit them to the underside of the sauna base. Any equivalent alternative is also suitable; the material does not need to be load-bearing and is used purely as a waterproof membrane. This prevents the timber from sitting directly on a damp surface and reduces moisture reaching the base.

Most simply put, it's not necessary. This is a compact sauna, the thermowood has excellent insulation properties and the sauna is designed to minimise heat loss.

If you have sufficient access we always recommend buying the sauna already assembled. This way it will be assembled by experts and will already be pre-treated. All you would need to do is get your electrician to connect it to you power supply and you could be using your sauna from day one.

Yes. The Harvia Cilindro PC90XE can be connected to either 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase power.

Harvia specifies 1 x 50A with 3 x 10mm² cable for 230V 1N~, or 3 x 16A with 5 x 2.5mm² cable for 400V 3N~. The heater requires a dedicated supply. Your electrician must confirm the final cable size, protective devices and installation method for your property.

The separate Xenio control panel is included. Wi-Fi and MyHarvia control require a separate Wi-Fi kit; they are not included with the PC90XE.

The installation drawing shows a low-level air inlet in the front wall, to the right of the door, and a high-level outlet in the rear wall near the roofline.

Keep both vents clear. The installer should also follow the ventilation instructions supplied with the chosen heater.

A fully assembled Camilla weighs about 600kg and has no published certified lifting points. Where access permits, a suitable forklift or crane can position it in one piece, but the lifting contractor must assess the site and plan the lift.

Standard delivery does not include crane or forklift unloading or final positioning. If suitable lifting access is not available, choose the flat-pack version so the sauna can be unloaded and carried in components.

The Camilla's curved Thermowood shell is covered with waterproof roofing layers and Katepal bitumen shingles.

The manufacturer does not publish a fixed roof lifespan because exposure, installation and maintenance all affect it. Inspect the shingles, edges and fixings at least once a year and after severe weather, and repair any loose or damaged areas promptly. Coastal and highly exposed sites may need more frequent checks.

We do not currently have a full showroom, but many of our existing customers are happy to show their sauna to prospective buyers.

If you would like to see one in person, please contact us and we can try to arrange a viewing with a customer in or near your area.

No. Our installation team can assemble the sauna, but the heater and any other electrical components must still be connected by a qualified electrician.

You will need a suitable electrical supply and, at minimum, an isolator switch. Full details are provided in the Electrical Supply section on the product page.

Yes. Any qualified electrician should be able to connect the sauna, provided they follow the electrical requirements listed in the Electrical Supply section of the product page.

After you place your order, we also send further information that you can pass on to your electrician.

In some cases, we may be able to share details of electricians who have connected saunas for previous customers.

Availability will depend on your location, and you are also welcome to use your own qualified electrician.

Yes. Our installation team uses specialist carpenters and installers who are experienced in assembling outdoor saunas, which is one of the reasons many customers prefer professional installation.

No. We do not carry out site visits.

To request an installation quote, use the Request an Installation Quote link under Add to Cart and complete the form with photos, measurements, site plans, access details and the proposed sauna location. Our installation team will use that information to assess access, base preparation and positioning, and flag any obvious issues before installation.

In outdoor saunas, it is normal for the timber structure to respond to changes in temperature, humidity, and ambient conditions over time. This can occasionally cause minor movement in the door opening, which may affect how the door closes or sits within the frame.

For this reason, sauna door hinges are designed to be adjustable. Minor door or hinge alignment adjustments over time are normal and should be carried out in line with the manual as part of routine ownership maintenance, rather than being treated as a product fault.

The non-kit Camilla is more expensive because it is a made-to-order sauna rather than a pre-packaged stock kit.

The kit version is imported in bulk with a simpler standard heater package, which keeps the cost lower. By contrast, the non-kit version is produced to order, can be specified with upgraded heater options and other bespoke choices, and is shipped individually rather than as part of a bulk stock order.

In practical terms, the biggest price differences usually come from the upgraded heater and controls, the more bespoke nature of the order, and the higher logistics costs involved in bringing in an individually made sauna.

Yes. Outdoor saunas are not maintenance-free.

As a minimum, owners should expect to inspect and re-treat exposed timber at least every 12 months, or sooner if the manufacturer manual and local conditions require it.

You should also expect to make minor door or hinge adjustments over time in line with the manual, as timber structures naturally move slightly with changes in temperature and humidity.

In coastal or sea-air environments, exposed metal parts should be checked more regularly and protected with a rust-proof treatment such as WD-40 or another suitable anti-corrosion product.

Sauna heaters also require maintenance in line with the manufacturer manual. This normally includes periodically checking, washing, and restacking the stones, and in the longer term electric heater elements may need replacing if they wear out.

We do not currently offer a formal maintenance programme.

The top bench is 815mm from the floor, and the distance from the top bench to the roof is 1100mm.

If your sauna has exposed or untreated exterior timber, use a breathable, UV-resistant and water-resistant exterior wood treatment. We recommend Tikkurila Valtti Plus Kesto or Tikkurila Valtti Plus Color. If you prefer a clear, natural finish, Osmo UV Protection Oil is a good option.

Apply the treatment after assembly and before regular use, then inspect the timber annually and re-treat it as required for the product and your site’s exposure.

For sauna-room walls, window frames and door frames, use Tikkurila Supi Sauna Finish or Tikkurila Supi Sauna Wax. For benches and backrests, use Tikkurila Supi Laudesuoja Bench Protection. Never use ordinary exterior paint, varnish or household wood treatments inside the heated sauna room.

If your sauna has factory-finished or specialist cladding, follow the supplied manual and do not overcoat it unless the manufacturer confirms the product is suitable.

These recommendations are general guidance. Check both the sauna manufacturer’s manual and the treatment manufacturer’s instructions, and satisfy yourself that the product is suitable for the timber and any existing finish before applying it. If you are unsure about a colour, request samples from the manufacturer or retailer and test one on a spare timber offcut or a small, inconspicuous area first.

Buy one 2.7-litre tin (2.7 litres total) of Tikkurila Supi Sauna Finish for the sauna-room walls and ceiling, and one 1-litre tin (1 litre total) of Tikkurila Supi Laudesuoja for the benches and backrests. For untreated exterior timber, buy either one 2.7-litre tin and two 0.9-litre tins (4.5 litres total) of Tikkurila Valtti Plus Kesto or three 0.75-litre tins (2.25 litres total) of Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra for the specified two-coat systems.

The buying calculation uses 14.9 m² interior requiring 2.14 litres, and 4.89 m² of bench timber requiring 0.7 litres, with 13.32 m² outside requiring 3.83 litres of Valtti or 1.7 litres of Osmo. It uses the lower published coverage rate and one coat inside, two coats on untreated exterior timber, with a 15% allowance. Glass, roof shingles or membranes, the underside and confirmed factory-painted trim are excluded.

These are conservative buying allowances. Follow the current label and technical sheet for the product you choose; if its coverage or coat count differs, use those figures instead.

Yes. Our traditional saunas are suitable for commercial use, and we already supply many commercial customers.

Commercial use requires a regular maintenance regime, as it would with any sauna. This includes cleaning the sauna, inspecting and maintaining the heater stones, and re-treating or painting the timber when required. The frequency will depend on usage, location and the manufacturer's maintenance instructions.
