Why This Product Stands Out
The Vorarlberg combines two complementary ideas:
HARVIA TRADITIONAL SAUNA + MODERN OUTDOOR-LIVING AMENITIES
At its core is the familiar heated-stone experience of a traditional electric sauna. Golden Designs surrounds that foundation with integrated lighting, audio, privacy glass, and a spacious five-person interior.
With interior dimensions of approximately 74.2" W × 53.2" D × 78" H, it functions as a dedicated outdoor sauna room rather than a compact personal cabin.

Who This Is For
Ideal for homeowners seeking a traditional electric stone sauna with generous capacity and premium outdoor-living features.
Installation & Electrical Planning
At approximately 1,010 lbs. assembled, the Vorarlberg requires a stable, level installation surface capable of supporting the complete sauna, occupants, and applicable loads. Do not assume an existing deck or patio is structurally suitable simply because the sauna fits.
The sauna requires 240V / 40A for the stove and 120V / 15A for lighting and music controls. Consult a certified electrician and follow Golden Designs, Harvia, and applicable electrical requirements.
The sauna ships in 10 boxes weighing approximately 1,120 lbs. combined, so delivery access and handling should be planned before arrival.
Outdoor Care & Safety
The exterior is protective-stained Canadian Hemlock, water resistant wood. Follow Golden Designs recommendations for stain, cleaning, inspection, moisture management, and weather protection. Natural wood may show changes in grain, color, checking, expansion, and contraction over time.
Maintain required heater clearances and ventilation. Never cover the stove or place combustible materials on or near it. Use only appropriate sauna stones and apply water only when and as permitted by Harvia.
Follow manufacturer temperature and session guidance, supervise children appropriately, and never use the sauna while impaired. Exit if you feel faint, dizzy, confused, excessively uncomfortable, or otherwise unwell.
