Our Western Red Cedar Barrel Sauna is spacious enough to accommodate 2 to 4 people. Its smaller size can heat up almost instantly which means you can enjoy a steamy sauna sooner, without having to wait for the entire space to heat up. We offer 2 standard sizes:

  • Length 1,500 mm – 2 person sauna
  • Length 1,800 mm – 4 person sauna
The sauna is made of premium Canadian Western Red Cedar and designed so that you can enjoy the ambiance while you sweat out all your tension. And because the barrel sauna is designed to be used in small spaces, it’s perfect for people who have small backyards, decks, or patios.

LOVELY FEATURES

Outdoor/Indoor Western Red Cedar Barrel Sauna 2 - 4 Person

Scandinavian-Inspired Rustic Design

The Western Red Cedar Barrel Sauna has a sleek Scandinavian-inspired design guaranteed to give your property a touch of luxury. It is made with high-quality wood staves that fit together tightly with stainless steel bands and fasteners. This design allows the lumber to expand and contract naturally, creating a tight seal. Not only does this sauna look great, but it is also energy efficient and distributes heat evenly throughout the interior.

Finnish-Style, Preassembled Wall Panels

Shym Saunas’ 2-4-person Cedar Barrel Sauna is pre-built with a tough and sturdy Western Cedar Wood frame, as well as wall panels, benches, and cradles made from the same high-quality wood. This sauna can be placed outdoors or indoors. The sauna can be equipped with electric or firewood heater (for 1.8 m length option only).

Two Opposite Facing Slat Benches

Add a simple and comfortable new level of relaxation to your sauna experience with its crafted slat benches. The versatile design (new benches are flat and not curved) allows users to lay back, stretch, or simply sit and enjoy the heat. This added comfort and flexibility make the sauna experience even more enjoyable.

Tempered Glass Door

The glass door is an important part of the sauna experience as it allows for light to come through and yet does not compromise on heat retention. The optional tinting helps to create a sense of privacy and relaxation, while the tempered glass ensures that the door will not be affected by the temperature changes inside the sauna.

The door is also especially designed to control the air circulation for an optimal sauna experience. In addition, it is equipped with a handle that stays cool to the touch, even when the interior of the sauna is at its highest temperature.

High Durability Support Cradles western red cedar barrel sauna

High Durability Support Cradles

Providing a solid and firm foundation is the durable support cradles of the barrel sauna. Even if you place it directly on the ground, the unit stays safe from any moisture penetration and weather damage. The support cradles are typically made from carbon fiber or associated timber. They are designed to ensure stability, insulation, and optimal ventilation.

Built-in Venting Holes

It is essential to have sufficient breathing air in the sauna. A good sauna must have 6-10 full air changes per hour. The venting holes are carefully designed to allow this to happen. They also help to circulate the air inside and prevent the build-up of excessive moisture. Our built-in venting holes not only make for a more comfortable sauna experience for you, but they can also help to extend the life of the barrel sauna by preventing mold and mildew from developing.

Stainless Steel Straps

These bands help to distribute the weight evenly and prevent the structure from warping or deforming. As a result, the sauna can withstand great amounts of pressure, making it a safe and enjoyable place to relax and unwind.

All the pieces are precut and fit together easily, so there’s no need for sawing or cutting. With just a few basic woodworking skills, anyone can assemble one of our saunas in about 6-8 hours. Plus, our kits come with everything you need to get started, rocks, benches, lamp (must be connected by a qualified electrician), and more.

ACCESSORIES YOU CAN ADD

Here are some sauna accessories to make the best out of your spa experience:

harvia heater
The sauna heater is typically considered to be a heart of the sauna. It is designed to heat the space in the most efficient way. The heater will heat the space and the stones in the heater. Pouring water onto the stones will allow to increase humidity if needed. This heat not only feels great, but it also helps to open up your pores, sweat out impurities and contribute to many health benefits. The standard kit doesn’t include the heater, but you can purchase it separately from our online store.
Interior Lights cedar barrel sauna

Bitumen Roof Shingles for cedar barrel sauna

Buying a sauna can be a big commitment for many of us and it can be important to give the sauna the best chance to last up to 20-30 years. That’s why bitumen shingles can be worth considering. They not only provide extra protection from rain and UV damage, but also help to insulate the sauna further and improve its appearance. It is extremely durable and weather-resistant, making it an ideal choice for saunas.

BENEFITS

Nothing feels quite as a good quality cedar sauna. The heat relaxes muscles, eases tension and headaches, and can even help you to sweat out toxins. And while saunas have long been a staple of luxury spas, they are increasingly becoming a popular addition to home gyms and wellness areas. Cedar barrel saunas are especially popular due to their aesthetic appeal, timber properties and purported health benefits.
