{"product_id":"the-northman-performance-8x8-outdoor-sauna","title":"The Northman Performance - 8x8 Outdoor Sauna","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fully-loaded Northman, scaled up. An 8'3\"x8'3\" cabin finished standard in clear-grade thermowood, with every popular upgrade already built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Northman Performance takes the same trusted Northman platform and gives it more room and more standard equipment. At 8'3\" x 8'3\" — noticeably roomier than the 7x7 Northman — it seats 3–4 rather than 2–3, without changing the construction approach that's made the Northman line Timber's most configurable sauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets Performance apart is what comes standard. Instead of shipping in the base knotty cedar and letting you pay up for finish, Performance starts at the top: clear-grade thermowood siding and paneling inside and out, finished with charcoal Cutek Colortone, is included in the $40,000 price — normally an upgrade on other models. Layer on a WiFi-controlled heater, a stove guard, backrest lighting, and exterior accent lighting, all bundled standard, and you're looking at more than $3,300 in upgrades that would otherwise be a la carte on a base Northman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA half-glass entry door and an adjacent full picture window flood the thermowood-lined hot room with natural light, while the same tiered cedar bench system from the standard Northman line is rebuilt to fit the larger footprint. It's the Northman experience with the guesswork — and most of the upsells — already taken care of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd rather have the base Northman's construction at a smaller footprint and build your own upgrade path piece by piece, see The Northman (7x7).
