Have questions about our barrel saunas? Call us now on 1800 567 8036.
Every Redwood Outdoors barrel sauna kit comes complete with a Harvia electric heater, sauna rocks, and interior seating benches. Our saunas heat up to 195 F in under an hour, and can be enjoyed either wet or dry, catering to a true Scandinavian sauna experience.
Traditional Scandinavian Design
The Scandinavian barrel sauna has a classic beauty in its elegant simplicity. Our barrel saunas are constructed with tongue and groove lumber staves that are held tightly together by stainless steel bands and fasteners. This interlocking system allows the lumber staves to expand and contract naturally, and to form a tight seal. The sauna unit sits on support cradles (included) that keep the sauna’s underside above the ground. Not only are our Scandinavian barrel sauna lovely to look at, their design is incredibly energy efficient and helps to distribute the heat evenly throughout the interior.
Thermowood Construction
Thermowood is created by heat treating Scandinavian softwood to temperatures ranging from 180 – 230° in special chamber kilns for up to 96 hours. Steam is used as a protective gas and helps to prevent the wood from splitting and becoming damaged during treatment.

Thermowood’s Characteristics & Qualities
This process causes chemical and structural changes to occur within the timber, which therefore alters some of its characteristics and qualities. Some of the characteristics and qualities that make Thermowood such a popular specie includes:
Dimensionally Stable – The intensive heat the wood is exposed to during its production dries out deep into the core, causing all moisture and resin to be removed from the timber. Thermowood therefore doesn’t react to changes in humidity as drastically as untreated wood (the risk of swelling, cracking and shrinkage is decreased), allowing it to retain its shape far better. The wood also doesn’t secrete sap or resin even in high temperatures.
Environemntally Friendly – The softwood used to produce Thermowood originates from well-managed, PEFC-certified forests, and as no chemicals or foreign substances are involved during its production, Thermowood is an environmentally friendly material produced by using only natural methods.
Resistance to Rot and Fungi – Due to the heating process breaking down hemicellulose, the wood doesn’t contain the appropriate nutrients to allow rot and fungi to grow and develop.
Increased Longevity – When wood is treated with heat, its average life span is prolonged meaning your sauna will last a lifetime!
Improved Insulation – Wood that has been heat treated is much more porous than untreated wood, vastly improving its insulating properties.
The Relaxation Comes Naturally
Our sauna kit includes a back rest so you can get comfortable. Sit on wooden benches and enjoy the company of friends and loved ones in a sauna room filled with soft lighting and enjoy the aromatic scents of the thermowood. Our saunas give bathers a truly authentic and relaxing Scandinavian sauna experience. A towel hook (included) is a great place to keep towels for drying off and cooling down between rounds.
Manual Control or Wi-Fi Control Heater Options
Our manual control heaters have two dials: a temperature dial and a timer. The timer can be set for up to an 8-hour delay, meaning you set your heater to come on while you are out and your sauna will be ready when you get home.
Our digital Wi-Fi heaters can be controlled via the digital wall pad mounted nearby your sauna, or from any smartphone or tablet. The big convenience of the Wi-Fi control is the remote start capability which allows you to pre-heat your sauna from anywhere—whether at the office or on the slopes. With few taps on your phone, your sauna will be ready when you get home. Wi-Fi heaters can also be pre-set to come on at a specific time of day, such as early in the morning.
Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade a manual control heater to a digital Wi-Fi system in the future. While the manual and digital heaters look very similar, they are in fact totally different heaters. This means you must select the control system you are going with at the outset.
Easy Self Assembly
Putting together the our sauna kits is easy! All our saunas are designed with the DIY customer in mind. All the pieces are pre-cut and grooved, so no sawing or cutting is required.
Anyone with novice woodworking skills could build one in approximately 4 hours. All the assembler will need is a spirit level, a Phillips head screwdriver drill, an adjustable wrench, a hammer, and a rubber mallet.
Shipping Across The USA
We ship our saunas to everywhere in the United States to sauna enthusiasts who enjoy the wellness benefits of heat and steam!

Super Satisfied
Feb 16th 2024Recently bought and assembled a 6 person barrell sauna with portch and a Harvia woodstove. Quality of the product and all the pre assembly prep done by Redwood made the assembly easy and was completed by myself with no help. It was tricky getting the end walls up by myself and probably should have help for that. All in all I am satisfied with the product so far.

Great Customer Service
Feb 15th 2024We purchased our sauna(6ft with porch)a few months ago and couldn’t be happier with it! We ran into a few roadblocks installing the woodstove chimney, but the redwood outdoors team was super responsive and helpful in addressing the issue. The sauna is high quality and absolutely beautiful! The installation process was pretty straightforward and only took us a weekend from start to finish. We opted for the shingled roof so that took a little longer, but definitely a must have in the PNW. We had a lot of fun putting it together! Highly recommend this company and their products!

![HARVIA CILINDRO ELECTRIC HEATER]()
HARVIA CILINDRO ELECTRIC HEATER
The Finnish word “löyly” is the name for the hot steam that rises from your sauna rocks after water has been carefully poured on top of them. The steam turns your sauna into a hot and humid paradise, capable of relaxing even the tensest muscles or stressed minds.
The Cilindro specializes in creating a lot of steam. This is because the heater holds 160 lbs of rocks! All these rocks create a more even heat distribution and an incredible löyly that would make any Finn proud.
The Cilindro has a slightly longer heat-up time than the KIP, due to the number of rocks and is designed to run at a lower absolute temperature. The temperature you should expect from this heater is ~165F, which is the perfect temperature for a steamy sauna (>30% relative humidity) to prevent scalding. Due to the higher humidity in the room, the perceived temperature in the sauna will feel comparable to a drier sauna running at a higher absolute temperature.

![HARVIA M3 WOOD STOVE]()
HARVIA M3 WOOD STOVE
Classic wood-burning saunas are very special. The crackling fire, warm steam from the rocks, and the ritual of tending the fire all combine to create a timeless and unforgettable experience. The Harvia M3 is a compact wood-burning stove that is perfect for our saunas. The M3 is made by Harvia, the most trusted brand in the sauna industry. Built-in Finland, it is designed to meet rigorous European quality standards.
Harvia does not include a chimney kit with the stove. Redwood Outdoors offers a chimney kit to pair with the M3 stove (details below). Installation of the chimney requires cutting a circular hole in the roof staves. This could be performed by a carpenter or a more experienced DIY customer. The Redwood Outdoors chimney kit is sold separately. If you prefer, you can source the chimney and stove accessories yourself. If you are sourcing yourself, you will need 6’ of 6" diameter double-wall stove pipe, interior protective flashing, a chimney collar, and an external rain flange.
Also, note that the M3 wood stove is larger than the electric heaters and reduces the seating capacity of the sauna.
