Assembly
Start with the base. Choose a position that is level, firm and drains freely, and set out a foundation across the full 300 x 290 cm footprint with working room on every side. A concrete slab, piers or a compacted and levelled bearer arrangement with sufficient bearing capacity all work, provided the surface is flat and square before the first timber is placed. Check the building is set-out true to requirements and as per installation manual. The treated foundation joists sit on that base, so grade the ground to carry water away from the building and keep soil and mulch below the joist line. If in doubt, always consult a foundation specialist.
Keep the packs flat, dry and off the ground until you are ready to build. Where the timber is supplied untreated, have your exterior coating ready before you begin and apply at least two coats to all faces, including cut ends and anything that will be hard to reach once the building is assembled and standing. Re-apply coating as recommended by the manufacturer and before the finish starts to fail.
Assemble in the order shown in the provided manuals. Timber is a living material. It shrinks and expands based on temperature and humidity changes. This is normal, and it means periodical adjustments to doors and windows over the first few months and with the seasons thereafter.
Our products are under continuous development and improvement. Minor variations from the details shown can occur.

Warranty
Five-year timber warranty
Every Nordic Spa building is backed by a five-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, running from the day it is delivered. No registration, just keep your proof of purchase and look after the timber. Electrical components carry a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
Built to last
Our buildings are made from slow-grown European Nordic spruce, pine and aspen, dense and stable timber chosen for a long life outdoors. Sealed, treated and maintained as recommended, a Nordic Spa building is made to be enjoyed for many years, not a few seasons.
A few simple things keep your warranty valid:
A suitable foundation
Place your building on a firm, level, well-drained base with sufficient load-bearing capacity for the product and its intended use (account for the weight of water inside a spa, hot tub or ice bath). Preparing the foundation, and getting professional advice where the site needs it, is the owner's responsibility.
Seal the timber early
Timber is supplied either untreated or pre-treated (optional) and needs initial and regular protecting. Seal all exposed timber as soon as practicable after assembly (latest within six weeks) with a suitable exterior preservative or stain: a primer coat and at least two top coats.
Keep up the care
Re-coat at the intervals your chosen product recommends, before the finish starts to fail. Keep the base dry, drained and ventilated, and take reasonable steps against termites for your area. For a spa, keep the water balanced and the cover on when it is not in use.
Support you can rely on
Our team is here before, during and after your build to answer your product questions, to provide assembly guidance and help choosing the right model.
This warranty is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Read our full Warranty policy
European Made
Crafted in Europe from slow-grown timber
Every Nordic Spa building is made in Europe from sustainably slow-grown Scandinavian timber, with quality European windows, doors and fittings throughout, and a chemical-free build. Thirty years of combined experience go into every product, so what arrives in your yard is made to last decades, not seasons.
Your Space
More from your backyard, for years
A Nordic Spa building turns unused yard into a space you actually live in, whether that is somewhere to unwind, work, grow, store or gather. Built from dense European timber and finished for the weather, it stands up to the Australian outdoors and keeps earning its place season after season.
Factory Direct
Bought direct, backed by real specialists
We buy factory-direct and cut out the middle-man, so more of your money goes into the build instead of a chain of resellers. Before you order, a specialist helps you choose and size it correctly. We then ship Australia-wide to a freight depot near you, with our unmatched warranty on materials and craftsmanship behind every product.
