Product Description

 6 FT Classic Thermowood Barrel Sauna  - 4 Person

Need a hand? Give us a call 1-877-446-3565 and speak to a sauna expert!

Saunas have been popularly utilized for thousands of years in Scandinavia and throughout the world to gain social and healing advantages.

This complete barrel sauna package features a wooden water bucket, ladle, and sauna stones, as well as an integrated thermometer/hygrometer and internal seating benches, making it compatible with both electric and wood-fired heaters. Additionally, lighting is provided.

Assembly instructions are included and easily followed for a straightforward 4-person barrel sauna setup; no special tools or woodworking knowledge is needed. Pre-cut lumber pieces make assembly of this product take less than 3-4 hours on average. Enhance your recreational space with a Classic Thermowood Barrel Sauna.

OUR SAUNA DESIGN

The Scandinavian barrel sauna is held in place by sturdy stainless steel bands and minimal fasteners (see photos). This system allows the lumber staves to expand and contract to form a tight seal, and the unit sits on polymer support cradles that loft the sauna’s undercarriage off the ground (see photo). The Scandinavian barrel sauna design is noted for its efficiency, even distribution of heat, and visual appeal. In addition, the front sauna porch creates a visually appealing and helpful outside sitting area — a place to hold towels or drinks or to serve as a relaxing place to cool off between sauna rounds.

Materials

This 6 FT Classic Thermowood Barrel Sauna is constructed from robust Scandinavian thermowood, which undergoes heat-treating between 180 – 230° in specialized chamber kilns for up to 96 hours, with steam providing additional protection from splitting and damage. The thermowood process achieves enhanced dimensional stability, anti-microbial properties, and rot/fungi resistance, as well as improved insulation capabilities that are beneficial for sauna use.

The door hinges, heater, fasteners, and bands are made of stainless steel. In addition, the sauna has a tempered, tinted full glass door with self-closing hinges.

Performance

These saunas will heat quickly--to as much as 195 F (90 Celsius) in under an hour. Every Backcountry barrel sauna comes with a wood-fired or electric stainless steel heater, water bucket & ladle, sauna rocks, and ergonomic backrest so that you may begin enjoying the authentic sauna experience soon as the assembly is complete.

Atmosphere

Opposite-facing benches that allow bathers to enjoy good conversation, and a sturdy heater fence made from aromatic cedar or pine scents all promote the authentically relaxing experience that is a tradition in the Scandinavian sauna experience.

SHIPPING

We ship our saunas all across Canada and the United States to sauna enthusiasts who enjoy the wellness benefits of heat and steam. Typically we can get your sauna to a local pickup location for under $500.
