Barrel Sauna

Just as the name suggests, the sauna looks exactly like a huge barrel.

The circular barrel design may provide more superior heat and steam circulation versus square or rectangular shaped rooms.

According to one dealer selling barrel shaped saunas, “With a circular design there is 23% less area to heat compared to the same size box style sauna.”

There are different types of wood a barrel shaped sauna can be made from, but one of the most popular in North America is cedar wood. It has a distinctive aroma, and it’s also a great wood for withstanding different types of weather.

You have a choice of heaters that you can install including gas, electric or a wood sauna heaters.

You have two choices when shopping for a barrel sauna.

You can either go to a specialist company that will create your sauna using traditional coopering techniques, and the sauna will be delivered complete.

Your alternative is to find a manufacturer that will make a kit out of precut wood. It can then be assembled by you or a contractor at your home.
