The classic backyard sauna. Red cedar staves form a barrel that sheds rain and smells the way a sauna should, with room for two to four people on facing benches.
Why a barrel
The round shape circulates heat efficiently, so a barrel warms up faster and costs less to run than a square room of similar size.
Built for outdoors
- Red cedar naturally resists rot and insects, with no chemical treatment needed.
- Seats 2 to 4 adults on facing benches.
- Weather-tight door and stainless banding for four-season use.
