The art of cooperage, or barrel making, has been combined with sauna construction to create a unique and stylish look for your sauna. Available in pre-built kits, or constructed especially for you, a barrel sauna combines the best in outdoor sauna construction to bring you a design that will really stand out.

It is said that construction of these barrel shaped outdoor home saunas was inspired by the long-standing relationship between the barrel and the water it was built to hold. The sauna uses heat and moisture to cleanse the body of toxins and to increase the wellbeing of both body and mind, reminiscent of the healthful effects that water brings. Just as life depends upon the cleansing power of water, so does the body's optimal health rely on the rejuvenating power of saunas.

The unique shape of the barrel construction not only creates an atmosphere of style and tradition, it offers also the same health benefits of other sauna types, including improved circulation and metabolism, pain relief, and offers a respite from the modern world, restoring spiritual and physical harmony. The barrel shape also offers practical features that improve upon traditional sauna construction, whether constructed indoors or outdoors. The rounded walls, for example, allow condensation to drain more easily, creating an environment that is more hygienic than constructing a traditional cube shaped design. The circular design of this type of outdoor sauna allows the air and steam to mix more effectively, offering a more comfortable experience. The barrel shape also belies the spacious interior of these types of saunas; while it might appear compact from the outside, these unique designs can accommodate as many occupants as more traditional saunas.

The barrel construction is suitable for home saunas constructed for both indoor and outdoor use. So if you would like a sauna with added style, regardless of where you choose to situate it in your home, a barrel shaped design can perform the job with flair.
