The Finnish Barrel Sauna

This is the outdoor barrel sauna inspired by the traditional saunas of Finland. Crafted from weather-resistant rustic cedar, the sauna’s barrel shape heats more quickly, evenly, and efficiently than typical box-shaped saunas. Two stainless steel bands secure the sauna’s ball-and-socket construction, providing a firm seal while enabling the 13/8"-thick cedar planks to expand and contract. A polymer support keeps the sauna level and off the ground. The stainless steel electric heater from Harvia—Finland’s most trusted heater brand since 1950—reaches an optimal 195° F in under an hour, monitored from the built-in thermometer/hygrometer. Dry or wet sauna (includes wooden bucket and ladle). Tempered glass door. Assembly and 220V electric service required.
