Sauna cabins
Ehta sauna cabins can be adapted for many uses. Extra square metres create space for atmospheric cabin life or enable wonderful accommodation for your own garden. A fireplace, panoramic windows, a kitchen and a bathroom can, if you wish, add a touch of luxury to shared moments.
Sauna cabin with a covered breezeway
Ehta's prefabricated buildings are tailored to each customer's wishes. One example is a sauna cabin with a covered breezeway, where a covered deck separates the sauna and the living area into two units. With the sauna in its own section, heat and steam cannot reach the living area.
The covered breezeway is available for the following sauna cabins:

Questions and answers: sauna cabins
How much does a sauna cabin cost?
With standard equipment, Ehta's sauna cabins cost €27,800–40,900: Sauna Cabin 20 27 800 €, Sauna Cabin 25 32 000 €, Sauna Cabin 30 €36,000 and Sauna Cabin 34 40 900 €.
The price includes a complete building with standard equipment. Transport and installation are priced according to the delivery location, and foundations are not included in the price. For example, a turnkey delivery of Sauna Cabin 20 to Tampere costs €900 including installation.
Does a sauna cabin need a building permit?
Sauna Cabin 20, 25 and 30 are under 30 m², so they do not need a building permit if they are not intended for permanent living. If a sauna cabin has a fixed stove, it is considered to be for residential use, and then a permit is required. Sauna Cabin 34 (33.5 m²) always requires a permit.
The municipality's local plan and building regulations may set additional conditions or restrictions, especially when building by the shore, so check them with the municipal building control.
Is a sauna cabin suitable for year-round use?
The basic package is suitable for use across three seasons and occasional winter visits: it has 90 mm laminated log, 100 mm PIR insulation in the floor and 100 mm wool in the ceiling.
If you keep your sauna cabin at a base temperature all winter, choose the winter package: 134 mm laminated log, 150 mm PIR insulation for the floor and an additional 50 mm PIR board for the ceiling. For Sauna Cabin 20 the winter package costs €4,646. Read whether you need a building suitable for year-round use.
Can you assemble the sauna cabin yourself?
Yes, you can. With a kit delivery you get all the parts numbered and assemble the sauna cabin yourself or with a local builder. As a kit delivery, you get the standard layouts with a mono-pitch roof.
What is the delivery time for the building?
As a rule, all our buildings are delivered in about eight weeks from the order confirmation, depending on the length of the order queue. Remember to allow for any building permit process in your schedule. Some of our models (stock models) are also available with a shorter delivery time.
How much does it cost to transport the building?
The cost of transport depends on the size of the building and the distance. For turnkey deliveries, the transport price always includes installation.
Example prices:
- Sauna Cabin 20, turnkey delivery to Tampere: €900
- Cabin 30 turnkey delivery to Lahti: €3,400
- Garden Sauna 13, kit delivery to Pudasjärvi: €870
What kind of foundations are needed?
We recommend pier foundations or ground screw foundations for all our buildings. The foundations should be built carefully on a frost-free base, so that they are stable and the building does not shift. We will provide a foundation dimension drawing, making the foundations easy to build.
Can the floor plans be modified?
A garden sauna adapts to your needs, and the floor plans can be modified in many ways. Our design starts by listening to the customer's thoughts, wishes and needs. Based on them, we design the best floor plan: the positions of doors, windows and partition walls, and any additions and removals.
Can the building have a window of a different size? What about an outside door to the sauna room? In other words, can changes be made to the standard models?
We have invested a great deal of time and expertise into the design of our saunas. Our models have been refined over the years to be excellent and functional. However, we understand that needs vary and individual modifications are sometimes necessary. Please get in touch and we can discuss what we can do.
Can the building be electrified?
Yes. When the electrical work is done at the factory, the cables are hidden and no surface wiring is needed. Once the building is in place, the consumer unit is connected to the grid. You can arrange this, for example, with a local electrical installation company.
How should the exterior and interior log surfaces be treated?
The minimum treatment for exterior surfaces is a colourless protective treatment that protects against moisture and mould spots. In damp seasons we recommend treating the surfaces soon after delivery. The protective treatment can also be chosen as an optional extra, in which case it is applied at the factory. Otherwise, the same guidance applies as for treating log surfaces in general.
What warranty do the buildings have?
We give a comprehensive 12-year warranty on the log frame. The floor, roof, sauna benches and electrical installations have a 2-year warranty. Other parts are covered by each manufacturer's own warranty.
