Bring the warmth of a traditional sauna to your own backyard with the Mande MW16 ThermoWood Outdoor Sauna. Sized between Mande’s compact and family models, it seats up to four people with room to stretch out, whether you’re enjoying a quiet session on your own or sharing an evening with family and friends. Its rounded cube shape and honeycomb-pattern shingle roof make it a standout addition to any garden or patio.
The MW16 is crafted from ThermoWood, a thermally modified wood treated with heat and steam rather than chemicals. The process helps the wood resist moisture and decay, so your sauna holds up to the weather season after season with minimal upkeep. Its natural wood tones blend right into your outdoor surroundings, and two steel tension bands keep the structure solid and secure.
A wall of glass across the front, a tempered glass door flanked by two full-height windows, lets you take in the view while you enjoy the heat. Inside, two tiers of L-shaped benches let everyone choose their heat level, with backrests on both tiers for comfortable seating. LED lighting beneath the upper bench sets the mood for evening sessions, while two rear vents, two floor drains, and a removable floor grate keep the cabin fresh and easy to clean.
Getting started is simple, because professional assembly is included. The MW16 is heated by a Harvia KIP 8.0 kW electric heater with built-in controls, or you can pair it with the Harvia Xenio Wi-Fi controller to start heating your sauna from your phone. Every MW16 is backed by a 5-year structural warranty from Mande.
