Description
Crafted from Knotty Western Red Cedar, this outdoor barrel sauna with porch (Ø213cm x L310cm) is designed for natural insulation, long-term durability, and a genuinely relaxing outdoor sauna experience. With thick solid cedar walls, the sauna retains heat efficiently without the need for artificial insulation, making it both practical and energy-conscious.
The rounded barrel shape promotes excellent air circulation, allowing the sauna to heat up more quickly than traditional rectangular designs. Combined with the integrated front porch, this layout offers both efficient performance and a comfortable space to cool down between sessions.
Supplied as a complete package deal, each unit is fully specified and ready for use — no extra decisions and no essential upgrades required. The design includes a knotty cedar bevel roof for a watertight finish, a solid cedar door frame with bronze-tempered glass for natural light and privacy, and premium internal seating.
Marine-grade aluminium bands with stainless steel tightening hardware ensure long-term structural stability outdoors. Inside, the sauna could comfortably seats 6 to 8 people, offering plenty of space for shared use or stretching out during longer sessions.

Notes on timber appearance
Western Red Cedar is widely used in sauna construction due to its durability, decay resistance and dimensional stability. As this is a knotty finish, natural knots, grain variation and markings will be visible — this is normal and part of the character of the timber.
Heater
The included 6kw Helo Cup heater is a compact, wall-mounted Finnish sauna heater with built-in controls. It holds 23kg of stones to deliver soft, even heat with efficient warm-up times. The unit includes an integrated timer and is CE-marked for safety.
Maintenance guidelines
Interior care
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. Clean benches and floors with warm, soapy water a few times per year. For stubborn marks, fine-grit sandpaper or a low-pressure wash can be used. Avoid ammonia or harsh cleaners.
Exterior care
Over time, the exterior timber will naturally weather to a silver-grey patina due to sun and rain exposure. This is cosmetic only and does not affect the performance or lifespan of the sauna.
Base requirements
For correct installation and long-term performance, the sauna must be placed on a completely level surface. We recommend a base slightly larger than the sauna footprint. Suitable options include patio slabs, a concrete pad, a wooden deck, or well-compacted crushed stone.
