Barrel Sauna Buying Guide

Find the Perfect Fit for Your Backyard

A barrel sauna is more than just a wellness investment — it’s a place to recharge, connect, and enjoy the outdoors year-round. But with different diameters, lengths, and upgrade options, which model is right for you? Let’s break it down.

1. Diameter: Comfort Level

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Diameter
  Compact and budget-friendly. Best for couples or small families with limited backyard space. You’ll feel cozy and warm, but taller users may not be able to fully stretch out.

• 7 ft (2.1 m) Diameter
  Our most popular choice. Spacious enough to lie down, host friends, and enjoy a more open seating area. The 7 ft barrel is ideal if comfort and socializing are priorities.

👉 Tip: If you have the space and budget, go with 7 ft. The extra comfort is worth it.

2. Length: How Many People Will Use It?

• 6 ft Length — Seats 2–3. Great entry-level size.

• 8 ft Length — Seats 3–4. The sweet spot for most families.

• 10 ft Length — Seats 4–6. Extra room for lounging, often with a porch or change room upgrade.

• 12 ft Length — Seats 6+. The ultimate sauna for entertaining, with a built-in change room.

3. Upgrade Options: Extra Comfort

• Porch (2 ft)
  Adds a small sitting area for shoes, towels, or cooling down between sessions. It also gives your sauna a welcoming front look.

• Change Room (3–4 ft)
  Perfect for cold climates. Step inside, change comfortably, and keep the heat where it belongs — inside the sauna.

4. Classic vs Premium

• Classic Series — Simple, efficient, and great value.

• Premium Series — Larger diameter, upgraded doors/windows, and add-ons like porches and change rooms.
