Shipping & Delivery Information

Free Delivery Damage Insurance Included With Purchase

 Curbside Delivery ships via Freight to the 48 contiguous states. The freight carrier will contact you 24 to 48 hours prior to delivery to set a delivery day and time Monday-Friday, with a 4-hour open window.

      They won’t deliver without speaking to you first. **Shipping times are only approximate, and can change depending on environmental conditions, transit issues, and carrier’s availability. Last minute appointments can occur, and it’s out of our hands since the delivery process is managed by the carrier’s. The sauna will be delivered in 1 box or more, depending on the model. All boxes will be strapped to a pallet. All saunas are delivered in a 53-foot semi-truck with a single driver, who will unload the pallet to your curbside or driveway only. Any delivery questions or issues (remote areas, long driveways, large and low hanging trees, apartment complex, stairs, etc.) should be addressed with us prior to shipping your sauna.

        Once the driver has unloaded the sauna, we ask that you immediately inspect the boxes for any damage. Please indicate any minor scratches, indentations, or scuff marks to the outside of the boxes on the delivery receipt. You do not need to open the boxes to inspect the sauna. The freight company will deliver your sauna to a carport or first-floor entryway. Please check the box dimensions and ensure it will fit through your doorway. Assembly on these saunas are surprisingly easy and can take between 30-45 minutes, depending on the sauna. Assembly instructions are included with the saunas.

Outdoor Hybrid Sauna

Golden Designs "Gargellen" 5 Person Hybrid Outdoor Sauna — PureTech™ Full Spectrum IR or Traditional Stove

Five-person capacity, a 74.2" wide interior, and two heating systems specified for the same room. The Gargellen carries an 8.0 kW stove with built-in controls and a full spectrum infrared array of 10 emitters, which Golden Designs list as 4 Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF heating panels and 6 near infrared heating elements.

It is the largest of Golden Designs' two hemlock outdoor hybrids. The shell is Natural Reforested Canadian Hemlock with a water-proof stain on the exterior, and the same shell is used for the stove-only Vorarlberg. What the Gargellen adds on the specification sheet is the PureTech™ array; Golden Designs list it at 1,075 lbs assembled against the Vorarlberg's 1,010 lbs, and state no reason for the difference.

The Build

Where The Five-Person Cabin Puts Its Weight

At 1,075 lbs assembled the Gargellen is a substantial piece of garden building. Four specifications account for most of what you are buying: the stove, the ten-emitter array, the hemlock shell, and the control and audio fit-out.

🔥
8.0 kW Stove, Built-In Controls
Golden Designs specify an 8.0 kW stove with built-in controls. Their stated ideal range for traditional stove operation is 170–185°F, with the sauna able to heat to 190°F. No stove brand is named for the Gargellen.
8.0 kW
10 Emitters, Four Of Them PureTech™
The full spectrum system is 10 emitters — 4 Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF heating panels and 6 near infrared heating elements. Two more PureTech™ panels than the three-person Carinthia, on the same 6 near infrared elements.
4 PureTech™ + 6 near-IR

Specification Detail

Reading The Gargellen Spec Sheet

Golden Designs Gargellen 5 person hybrid outdoor sauna, manufacturer product image
Dual Heat

Both Heating Systems Are On The Same Spec Sheet

Golden Designs sell the same shell two ways. The Vorarlberg gets the stove alone; the Gargellen gets the stove and a PureTech™ full spectrum array, and its electrical line changes accordingly — a single 240V / 40AMP service marked "Stove & Full Spectrum". Each system has its own published temperature band.

  • 8.0 kw stove with built in controls
  • Full Spectrum IR: 10 emitters — 4 Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF heating panels and 6 near infrared heating elements
  • Traditional stove: 170–185°F ideal, up to 190°F
  • Full spectrum IR: 118–132°F ideal, up to 140°F
  • Electrical service: 240V / 40AMP (Stove & Full Spectrum)

Two Exterior Figures, And They Mean Different Things

Golden Designs publish the Gargellen's exterior twice. With the roof overhang it is 98.9 inches wide by 72.6 deep; the cabin body without the overhang is 78 by 56.7. Both stand 97.4 inches tall. Measure the space you have against the overhang figure, and the ground the cabin will stand on against the body figure.

  • Assembled dimensions with overhang: 98.9" W × 72.6" D × 97.4" H
  • Assembled dimensions without overhang: 78" W × 56.7" D × 97.4" H

The Hybrid Outdoor Lineup

How The Gargellen Sits Against The Other Hybrids

Six Golden Designs outdoor cabins pair a stove with a PureTech™ full spectrum array. Capacity runs from two to six, and emitter counts from six to fifteen. The Gargellen is the widest of the hemlock cabins and the only five-person unit in the group.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Golden Designs give a 5 person capacity and an interior of 74.2" W × 53.2" D × 78" H. No bench dimensions are published for this cabin, so none are quoted here.
It means Golden Designs specify two heating systems for the one cabin: an 8.0 kW stove with built-in controls and a 10-emitter full spectrum infrared array. Golden Designs' own product name reads "PureTech™ Full Spectrum IR or Traditional Stove", and they publish a separate ideal temperature band for each. They do not describe how the two are run together, so neither do we — we will put that question to Golden Designs in writing on request.
Ten emitters in total: 4 Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF heating panels and 6 near infrared heating elements. On EMF, Golden Designs' published figure is under 3MG when sitting 2 to 3 inches from the heating panels — their measurement, under their stated condition. Golden Designs publish no wattage for the infrared system, so no wattage appears on this page.
Golden Designs publish one range per system. Traditional stove: 170–185°F ideal, and the sauna can heat up to 190°F. Full spectrum infrared: 118–132°F ideal, up to 140°F.
Use both. With overhang the Gargellen is 98.9" W × 72.6" D × 97.4" H; without overhang the body is 78" W × 56.7" D × 97.4" H. The overhang figure is the clearance you need around it; the body figure is what sits on the ground. Golden Designs state no foundation or site-preparation requirement for this model.
Natural Reforested Canadian Hemlock with a water-proof stain on the exterior, fitted with a bronze privacy tempered glass door. Golden Designs list it for outdoor use and publish no lumber thickness, so none is quoted. Their outdoor warranty attaches a maintenance condition to outdoor placement — see below.
Free curbside delivery from Recovery For Athletes. What happens on delivery day comes from Golden Designs' published shipping terms. Expect a call from the freight carrier 24 to 48 hours ahead to fix a delivery day and time, with the delivery normally made inside a 4-hour window. The cabin travels strapped vertically to a pallet on a 53-foot semi-truck, and their terms are explicit about where the service ends: the single driver will unload the pallet only to your curbside or the end of your driveway. They mention no liftgate and no placement beyond the kerb, so plan help and equipment for 1,170 lbs across 10 boxes. Tell us before dispatch about anything awkward on the route in — a narrow lane, overhanging trees, steps, a gated community. Golden Designs ask for the boxes to be inspected immediately once the driver has unloaded, with any scratches, indentations or scuff marks written onto the delivery receipt; the boxes do not have to be opened for that, and they instruct you to refuse delivery if you find a large hole. No post-delivery damage window is offered in their terms, so nothing can be raised once the receipt is signed.
Golden Designs publish one line: Electrical service: 240V / 40AMP (Stove & Full Spectrum). That single service covers both heating systems. Recovery For Athletes recommend a licensed electrician run the circuit — our own advice, not a Golden Designs instruction, and Golden Designs state no connection method for this model.
Golden Designs cover the wood structure for 5 years when properly maintained, along with the control panel, its wiring harnesses and the lights, from the original date of purchase. The cover runs to parts and not to labour.

The stove is not covered by Golden Designs. It carries its own manufacturer's warranty, and a stove claim goes to that manufacturer. Take that exclusion into account when you budget.

Unlike Golden Designs' infrared warranty, this document does not restrict the sauna to indoor use. Where it is installed outdoors, Golden Designs require that a waterproof cover or the sauna's own roof panel is fitted to protect the room; weather damage to an unprotected or poorly maintained cabin is not covered, and that exclusion extends to the glass door.

One gap to settle in writing first: this outdoor warranty names the wood structure, control panel, harnesses and lights, and Golden Designs' infrared warranty is written for indoor installation. Neither document clearly covers the PureTech™ panels and near infrared elements in an outdoor cabin. We make no coverage claim for them — ask us and we will get the panel position confirmed in writing from Golden Designs before you order.

Putting the sauna into full commercial use voids the warranty, and cover ends on transfer of ownership or on relocation. Shipping on any part returned for service is paid by you, with duties and taxes on top. Golden Designs treat surface cracking and some water seepage as normal for an outdoor cabin. Recovery For Athletes is an authorized Golden Designs dealer, and full terms are in the Warranty tab.
No country of manufacture is stated by Golden Designs, for this model or any other. What they do say about themselves is that they "work directly with manufacturers to produce our own line", and that their products are designed and developed at their California headquarters. That is the whole of the sourced position.
