Product Description

 Have a question? Give us a call at 1-877-446-3565

Thanks to its small dimensions and weight, it is easy to find a place for a terrace sauna explicitly designed for limited space applications. This unit is for those who want to enjoy beautiful views in several directions. The glass wall makes the sauna experience unforgettable. It also has two benches so you can rotate between hotter and cooler positions inside the sauna.

Around the world, particularly in Scandinavian countries, saunas have been used for thousands of years for their social and therapeutic benefits.

Each Backcountry Scandinavian barrel sauna kit can be paired with either a wood-fired or electric heater of your choice and includes a wooden water bucket and ladle, sauna rocks, a combination thermometer/hydrometer gauge, interior seating benches and lighting.

Our easy-to-follow instructions for self-assembly make setting up your sauna a breeze. No special tools or carpentry skills are required, and our instructions are written with the DIY customer in mind. All lumber pieces are pre-cut, and assembly typically takes less than 3-4 hours. Upgrade your backyard or recreational property with a therapeutic Scandinavian barrel sauna with a glass wall that will bring the scenes of nature right to your doorstep.

OUR SAUNA DESIGN

The Scandinavian sauna is held in place by sturdy stainless steel components and minimal fasteners (see photos). This system allows the lumber staves to expand and contract to form a tight seal.. The Scandinavian sauna design is noted for its efficiency, even distribution of heat, and visual appeal.

MATERIALS

Proudly made from Scandinavian Thermowood! Thermowood is created by heat-treating Scandinavian softwood to temperatures ranging from 180 – 230° in special chamber kilns for up to 96 hours. Steam is a protective gas that helps prevent the wood from splitting and becoming damaged during treatment. In addition, wood that has been heat-treated is much more porous than untreated wood, vastly improving its insulating properties. This process makes the perfect material for saunas!

The door hinges, heater, fasteners, and bands are stainless steel. In addition, the sauna comes with a tempered and 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 has a water bucket & ladle, sauna rocks and combination thermometer/hygrometer so that you may begin enjoying the authentic sauna experience as soon as the assembly is complete.

ATMOSPHERE

Modern design and two-level 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. It offers an authentic experience o the Scandinavian sauna tradition.
