Golden Designs "Gargellen" 5-Person Hybrid Outdoor Sauna (Full Spectrum + Traditional Stove)
Authorized Dealer
Full manufacturer warranty
Two saunas in one outdoor cabin, sized for five. The Gargellen 5-Person Hybrid pairs a full 8.0 kW traditional stove with 10 full-spectrum infrared emitters inside one weatherproof structure of Natural Reforested Canadian Hemlock. One footprint, two ways to sweat.
Flat roof or peaked roof
Both roof styles cover the same five-person hybrid cabin, the same 8.0 kW stove, and the same infrared array. The flat roof keeps a low, clean profile at roughly 81 inches wide and 87 inches tall. The peaked roof adds a pitched, gabled top that sheds rain and snow and stands taller for a more traditional silhouette. Choose the line that suits your yard.
Why a hybrid earns its place in the backyard
Most cabins make you pick a lane. This one does not. On a busy weeknight you can run the infrared side alone, 4 FAR carbon panels and 6 near-infrared emitters warming the room gently up to 140 degrees F for an easy session. When you want the real ritual, fire the 8.0 kW stove, ladle water over the stones, and take high-heat loyly and steam up to 190 degrees F. The stove side draws real power, so plan on a 240V, 40A dedicated circuit run by a licensed electrician before your first burn.
What a daily session looks like
- Weeknight infrared: A warm, low-temperature wind-down after work with the chromotherapy lighting set low.
- Weekend loyly: Stones hot, bucket and scoop in hand, steam rising for the whole household.
- Post-workout reset: A longer soak in the heat to relax sore muscles, FM or Bluetooth playing through the built-in speakers.
Built for real life
- Best for: A household of up to five that wants both gentle daily infrared and traditional steam in one outdoor cabin.
- Included: Sandglass, bucket and scoop, bronze privacy tempered glass door, chromotherapy lighting, interior LED control panel with FM and Bluetooth, built-in performance speakers, assembly hardware.
Where it sits in the line: Want the same layout without the stove side? The Vorarlberg 5-Person Traditional Outdoor Sauna shares this cabin as a pure steam build.

Common questions about this sauna
Will this sauna fit through my doorway and into my room?
It does not arrive as one finished cabin. It ships flat and assembles on site, so what has to clear your doorways and stairs are the individual panels, not the full assembled cabin. Set up, it stands 94 by 94 by 95 inches (width by depth by height).
Measure your narrowest doorway, hallway turn, and stairwell, then use our Will It Fit tool to place it in your room to the inch. If an entry looks tight, send us the measurements and we will confirm the fit before you order.
What outlet or wiring does it need?
It needs 240V / 40A.
Because it runs on 240V, have a licensed electrician put in the dedicated circuit before your delivery date. That is standard for a stove heated sauna and is the only trade work involved.
Is assembly difficult, and how long does it take?
3-4 people, 6-8 hours
The sections arrive pre built and ready to join, so you are connecting finished panels rather than building from raw lumber. No specialist trade is needed beyond any electrical hookup noted above.
Is this a low EMF sauna?
Yes. Golden Designs rates this cabin as Near-Zero EMF (Infrared mode).
EMF is the low frequency field that surrounds any electric heater. This model uses carbon panels that spread warmth across a wide surface instead of concentrating it, which is how it holds a Near-Zero EMF (Infrared mode) rating.
Can it go outside?
This model is built for indoor use. Its construction is not rated for open weather exposure, so plan for a garage, basement, spare room, or a fully covered porch rather than an open yard.
If you want a sauna for an uncovered outdoor spot, ask us about our outdoor rated cabins.
How is it delivered, and how long does it take?
It ships free by curbside freight. Free curbside freight delivery to your driveway. Typical lead time 10 to 20 business days. AK, HI, and Canada quoted separately.
Your carrier calls ahead to schedule a drop off window and leaves it at the end of your driveway, so plan to have a hand available to move it inside.
Are you an authorized dealer, and what warranty comes with it?
Yes. PureHeat is an authorized Golden Designs dealer, so this is a genuine unit that carries its full Golden Designs factory warranty (5 years on electronics and heating, 1 year on the traditional stove), honored directly by the manufacturer. Register it within 60 days of delivery at the manufacturer registration form to activate coverage.
That matters on a purchase this size. Units from unauthorized gray market sellers often arrive with the factory warranty voided, which can leave you without support if a part ever fails.
