Room for the whole group

With space to seat four to six, a barrel sauna is made for sharing. Gather friends and family and let it become the social heart of the garden.

Fast, efficient heat

The rounded barrel shape leaves less air to warm and circulates heat evenly. You wait less and enjoy the löyly sooner.

Built for the garden

Thermo-spruce staves, stainless steel bands and a shingle roof weather the seasons. It is a characterful, hard-wearing retreat that only looks better with time.

Why the wood matters

A wooden barrel sauna works because of its timber. Our staves are cut from spruce that has been modified with heat and steam, so the wood shrugs off rain and frost without any chemical treatment. As the sauna warms it releases a soft pine scent, and the steel bands keep the barrel tight through every season.

Recovery and everyday wellbeing

Deep, even warmth eases tired muscles and quiets the mind. Step out into the fresh air to cool down, then step back in. It is the simple rhythm at the heart of sauna culture.

The barrel heats up so quickly and easily fits the whole family. That window looking down the garden is really something.

The Bennetts Barrel 250

A real showpiece in the garden and beautifully made. The wood-fired option was exactly what we wanted.

Greg P. Barrel 210

We were surprised how fast it gets up to temperature. Evenings in the barrel have become our favourite ritual.
