{"product_id":"steam-oak-kelo-220-sauna-pod","title":"Steam \u0026 Oak Kelo 220 Sauna Pod — Up to 4 Person Arched Garden Sauna","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kelo 220 is the classic camping-pod shape done as a proper sauna: a \u003cstrong\u003epointed arch\u003c\/strong\u003e that sweeps from the ridge all the way to the ground, shingled over the top, with a full-height bronze glass door in the front gable and two bench seats tucked under the overhang outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the one that looks like a hobbit house without trying to be a novelty. Underneath it is \u003cstrong\u003e42 mm timber\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 6.1 m³ hot room and a real stove-and-stones sauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the arch works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is not decoration. An arched shell has \u003cstrong\u003eno square corners for heat to sit in\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the air circulates evenly and the room comes up to temperature without cold pockets round the edges. It also sheds rain and snow straight to the ground with no roof junctions to fail, which is exactly what you want on a building that spends its life outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it is efficient in the way that matters on your bill: at \u003cstrong\u003e6.1 m³\u003c\/strong\u003e there is far less air to heat than in a square cabin of the same seating. It reaches temperature quickly, holds it easily, and a modest heater does the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 4 people\u003c\/strong\u003e on the internal benches, with two more seats outside under the front overhang for the cooling-off round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpruce or thermowood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are available, and it is a real decision rather than an upsell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNordic spruce\u003c\/strong\u003e is the value option and perfectly good if you treat it every couple of years. \u003cstrong\u003eThermowood\u003c\/strong\u003e is kiln-treated at 180–220°C in a low-oxygen chamber — no chemical preservatives, just heat and steam. It absorbs 40–50% less moisture and moves far less, which on a curved shell matters more than on a square one: every board is doing structural work as part of the arch, and timber that moves is timber that opens gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur honest position: on a small, sheltered pod, spruce well looked after is fine and the money is better spent on the heater.
