Robust construction –

Generally, an outdoor barrel sauna is made from solid wood staves ensuring the retention of structural integrity in the harshest outdoor environment. The staves are notched and pulled over the end sections and will create a tight as well as fully secure fit. Hence, the saunas will last a lifetime and won’t need to use excessive and unsightly fasteners.

Maintenance-free –

The barrel sauna is ideal to install in outdoor spaces. It’s perfect to use for outdoor applications because it sheds water naturally. With the structural integrity, the sauna handles substantial snow load without impacting the sauna structure. The sturdy cradles allow the barrel to set on any flat surface effectively and the Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to water and insects. Virtually, your barrel sauna won’t require any ongoing maintenance. 

 

Efficiency –

The barrel saunas make the use of air space efficiently so that less energy is used for heating the room.

However, you won’t get any noticeable effect on your utility bill even if you use your barrel sauna regularly.
