The Scandinavian barrel sauna has a classic beauty in its elegant simplicity. Our barrel saunas are constructed with tongue and groove lumber staves held tightly together by stainless steel bands and fasteners. This interlocking system allows the lumber staves to expand and contract naturally and form a tight seal. In addition, the sauna unit sits on support cradles (included) that keep the sauna's underside above the ground. Our Scandinavian barrel sauna is lovely, and its design is incredibly energy efficient, distributing heat evenly throughout the interior.
