Golden Designs Kaarina GDI-8506-01 6 Person Outdoor Traditional Sauna – Canadian Red Cedar
Golden Designs Kaarina GDI-8506-01, a 6 person outdoor traditional steam sauna featuring an all-weather exterior, Canadian red cedar interior and a powerful 8.0 kW electric stove. Designed as part of Golden Designs’ Barn Series, this freestanding outdoor cabin brings authentic Finnish-style sauna bathing to your backyard with premium materials and thoughtful details.
Inside the Kaarina, reforested Canadian red cedar surrounds you with a warm, inviting aroma and a naturally beautiful wood grain. The cabin is engineered for a full six-person capacity, so family and friends can enjoy a true social sauna experience together. The traditional Harvia electric stove (8.0 kW) delivers the classic steam you expect from a wet/dry sauna: simply pour water over the hot stones to generate soft, enveloping löyly. Golden Designs recommends an ideal operating range of 170–185°F, with the sauna capable of heating up to approximately 190°F for users who prefer a more intense session.
Control of lighting and entertainment is integrated right into the interior. A touch-screen LED control panel lets you adjust the interior ceiling galaxy star color therapy lighting and other accent lighting while also managing the built-in FM radio and Bluetooth connection. Stream your favorite playlists or radio stations through the built-in performance speakers without needing extra equipment or wiring. An interior white reading lamp and exterior front accent lighting add both practicality and ambiance, making the Kaarina feel like a true backyard escape, day or night.
The cabin is built for year-round outdoor use. An all-weather exterior with hemlock construction is paired with the natural cedar interior to balance durability and comfort. A bronze privacy tempered glass door provides visibility and an open feel from the outside while maintaining a sense of seclusion inside. Stainless steel hinges and handle add strength and a clean, modern look.
Golden Designs has engineered the Kaarina for straightforward electrical planning. The Harvia 8.0 kW stove runs on a 240V / 40-amp dedicated circuit, while the lighting and audio controls are powered by a separate 120V / 15-amp circuit. This separation helps keep controls and sauna heat on the appropriate loads and makes it simple for a licensed electrician to set up correctly.
A complete accessory set comes standard so you can enjoy a traditional steam sauna without additional purchases. The Kaarina includes a sandglass timer, bucket and water scoop, all designed to match the cabin’s aesthetic and withstand regular use. These accessories help you time your sessions and add water to the stones safely and conveniently.
Despite its generous interior, the sauna’s footprint is compact enough to work in many backyard designs. The assembled exterior dimensions are approximately 84" wide x 69" deep x 95" high, with a pitched roof that adds a few inches of overhang at the edges. Inside, the usable space of about 78" x 63" x 88" high gives comfortable headroom and room for multiple bathers. With an assembled weight of about 1425 lbs and shipping weight around 1650 lbs (delivered in 10 boxes), the Kaarina is substantial yet manageable for professional delivery and installation.
