Barrel Saunas for Sale | Outdoor Cedar Barrel Sauna

What a Barrel Sauna Is and Who It Is For

A barrel sauna is a cylinder-shaped outdoor sauna built from cedar or Nordic spruce staves. The round interior holds less air than a boxy cabin of the same seating, so it heats faster and uses the heater more efficiently. It suits backyards and anyone who wants an outdoor sauna that looks distinctive and sheds weather well.

Barrels ship as ready-to-assemble kits with pre-cut lumber and hardware, and most assemble in a day with two people on a level base. A sauna heater is usually sold separately, so you choose electric or wood-burning and match the wattage to the barrel size. Electric heaters need a dedicated 240V circuit and an electrician; wood-burning models need chimney clearance. Sessions run 20 to 40 minutes. Want other outdoor styles too? See outdoor saunas and outdoor traditional saunas.

Electric or Wood-Burning Heat

Barrel kits usually ship without a heater so you choose. Electric gives push-button control on a 240V circuit; wood-burning gives an authentic fire and needs chimney clearance. See sauna heaters to match one.

Compact Barrel or Full-Length

A shorter barrel suits two to three users; a longer barrel seats four or more and lets you lie down. For other outdoor styles, see outdoor traditional saunas.
