SaunaLife CL12GCPB: an eight person cube sauna with a dressing room and porch
The SaunaLife CL12GCPB is an eight person outdoor cube sauna kit. The sauna room, dressing room, and front porch share one building that measures 151.6 inches long. It arrives by flatbed truck, and you need a forklift or crane to unload it. The B version includes black exterior paint that you brush on yourself. The paint expands and contracts as the weather changes to keep the finish from cracking. Inside, benches sit at different heights and have shaped seats and backrests. A rear picture window lets daylight into the sauna room. The dressing room and porch have seating too, giving you somewhere to change and sit outside the heat.
The kit includes roof shingles and a white LED light bar with app and handheld remote controls. The heater is sold separately, so choose one of the 4 electric heater packages on the page, from 8 to 10.6 kW, each with its control and stones. You can also add a Kolo bucket and ladle or wood care supplies. Considering another layout? See the SaunaLife G11B two room sauna suite. The SaunaLife CL12GCPB ships from Norse Steam by flat rate freight with No Sales Tax (except WY) and our 100% price match guarantee.

Cube-Series Saunas
Premium materials are evident throughout the Cube-Series lineup. The exterior is built from durable, full-length Thermo-Spruce staves that have been organically thermally enhanced, making them stronger, more dimensionally stable, and naturally resistant to decay and pests without chemical treatment. A complete shingle kit with drip rails ensures effective water management. The bronze-tinted 8mm tempered glass front door is both a design statement and a safety feature.
The CL3G specifically uses 42mm Thermo-Spruce staves for the side walls and 28mm panels for the front and back, with stainless steel barrel bands that cinch the structure together without exposed fasteners- the same joinery approach used across SaunaLife’s broader CL-series lineup. The kit includes foundation cradles, so the sauna sits level on a gravel pad, pavers, or a small concrete slab without requiring a poured perimeter foundation.

FAQ
What does the B in the model name mean, and do I have to paint it myself?
B means the SaunaLife CL12GCPB includes three containers of black exterior sauna paint, which you brush on after assembly following the paint manual in the Manual tab. Use it only outside, never inside the hot room. The paint stretches and shrinks with the weather to resist cracking, but it will need a fresh coat over the years to stay black.
Does this sauna come with a heater, and what size should I pick?
No, a heater is not included. The heater add on on this page offers four electric packages sized for this room, from 8 to 10.6 kW, each with controls and stones. Choose one when ordering or buy one later, and choose a higher kW option for a colder climate.
What electrical work does it need?
It depends on your property and heater choice, but every package needs a licensed electrician to hardwire its own dedicated 240 volt circuit, using the heater manual to size the breaker and wire. These heaters cannot plug in, share a dryer, hot tub, or EV circuit, or use an extension cord. Have your electrician plan buried conduit and a weatherproof disconnect for outdoor runs, plus a weatherproof box you provide for the LED power unit outside the hot room.
What do I put under it? Can it go on a deck?
Yes, if your deck is built to carry the weight, so check its load capacity for your property before installation. Use a firm, flat, level base such as compacted gravel topped with pavers, a concrete slab, or a suitable deck, and see the Specifications tab for the shipping weight. Avoid bare grass or soil because they hold moisture against the wood, and an uneven base can keep the staves from lining up and the door from latching.
How long does it take to build?
Plan on a full weekend for a first build, based on owner reports. SaunaLife rates its cube kits for two people, and hanging the doors is a step to take slowly. Allow a separate day for the electrician's visit.
Does the glass front lose heat in winter?
Yes, the glass front loses a little more heat in deep cold, though the sauna is built for year round outdoor use. In freezing weather, heating often takes 45 to 90 minutes instead of 30 to 45 minutes. Keep the vents clear.
How many people really fit?
Eight people is the maximum seated capacity on the benches. For stretching out or lying down, plan on six or seven.
What is thermo spruce, and does it smell like a sauna?
Thermo spruce is Nordic spruce heat treated in a kiln with steam, so it absorbs less moisture, moves less with the weather, and can last up to twice as long as cedar outdoors. It has a mild toasted smell rather than cedar's strong aroma, and no resin. Bare wood turns silver gray over time, which is cosmetic, but this model uses black paint as its exterior finish.
How is it delivered?
It arrives on a flatbed truck by appointment. You must unload it with a forklift or crane because the driver does not unload it. Inspect it before signing and note any damage on the receipt.
