How many people?
Barrels range from 2-person up to 6–8 person models. Each product page lists exact capacity and bench layout.
Do I need a separate heater?
Most barrel saunas require a compatible electric or wood heater — see our heaters for the right size, or use the bundle option on the product page.
Why a Barrel
Why the barrel shape works
The round profile heats faster and more evenly than a square room — there’s less air volume up top to warm, so löyly builds quickly and circulates around the curve. The rounded roof also sheds rain and snow naturally, which is why barrels are the classic choice for the backyard. Match the size to your bathers, pick a heater, and you’re set.
