Barrel Saunas

Handcrafted cedar retreats for outdoor sanctuaries.

Barrel Saunas
Overview

Barrel saunas are the outdoor icon — cylindrical cedar architecture that sheds weather, heats quickly, and needs no foundation. Ideal for cabins, mountain properties, and coastal retreats.

Sculptural barrel saunas that transform gardens, rooftops, and lakefronts into private wellness retreats. Handcrafted from Western Red Cedar and thermowood with wood-fired or electric heaters.

Buying Guide

How to specify with confidence

A four-step framework our specialists use with every client — from single-family homes to professional facilities.

  1. 01

    Diameter & length

    6-ft diameter cabins seat two comfortably; 7-ft cabins fit four. Longer 8-ft models add a changing vestibule.

  2. 02

    Roof & cladding

    Asphalt-shingle or cedar-shake roofing extends the life of the cabin in wet climates. Optional aluminum bands prevent seasonal shrinkage.

  3. 03

    Heater selection

    Electric heaters are code-safe on decks; wood-fired heaters require clearance and a spark arrestor.

  4. 04

    Siting

    A level pad, gravel base, or composite deck works. We manage delivery to remote lots with crane or forklift as needed.

FAQ

Questions we're asked every week

Additional questions? Our specialists respond personally, typically the same day.

Do I need a foundation?
No. A level pad or deck rated for the weight is sufficient. Most barrels ship in cross-braced cradles.
Will it survive winter?
Yes — cedar naturally resists rot. We recommend an annual re-seal in freeze-thaw climates.
How is it delivered?
Barrels arrive on pallets and assemble in under a day with our white-glove crew or a local contractor.
