A dash means the seller does not publish that figure. Prices are the linked seller page price on the date each record shows, before freight.
Listed prices on this page run from $5.3k to $14.1k, dated per record and before freight. The spread is not noise: it tracks wood species, wall thickness and what ships in the base crate, which is why the table shows those columns beside the number.
Why this size has the widest field
Makers build to demand, and demand pools here, so four person is where you get real choice on every axis at once: barrel against cabin, cedar against spruce, heater-included against room-only. That breadth is also why sticker comparison misleads worst at this size. Two listings a thousand dollars apart can be the same room once you price the heater one of them left out, and the record for each model notes what its seller says ships in the base price.
This is also the size where lying down enters the conversation. Four person rooms are the first class where bench length lets an adult stretch out flat, which changes what the sauna is for. If that matters to you, compare stated interior lengths rather than seat counts, and treat any record with a dash in that column as a question for the seller rather than a detail to skip.
How well documented this category is
Documentation is the quiet spec. Across the 8 models on this page, 8 of 8 publish an exterior footprint, while only 0 of 8 publish an assembly estimate. A seller who states a figure is inviting comparison, and one who does not is asking you to order first and measure later. Each row above links to the page every number was read from, and a dash marks the questions worth putting to the seller in writing before freight is on the truck.

Questions buyers ask at this point
What footprint does a 4 person outdoor sauna need?
Plan around an eight foot class footprint plus door swing and walking room, but confirm per model. The table on this page carries each maker-stated exterior dimension, and our fit finder checks a specific model against your actual pad.
Is a 4 person sauna the right size for a couple?
It is the size people buy when they want to lie down or bring guests. The trade is a bigger heater requirement and a longer heat-up than a two person room. Our heater calculator shows the difference in required kilowatts.
Are these prices with or without delivery?
Listed prices are the seller page price on the date shown, before freight. Outdoor saunas ship crated on pallets and delivery quotes depend on your address, so the linked seller page is the only honest source for a total.
