Barrel saunas can be used indoors and outdoors based on personal preference and available space. However, if you plan to install your sauna outdoors, it’s essential to choose a wood that is resistant to the elements and take steps to protect it from moisture and decay.

Barrel saunas are unique in their rounded shape, which provides several benefits, including a space-saving design and an aesthetic appeal. In addition, they are typically crafted from high-quality timbers, such as Canadian Red Cedar or pine, which are known for their resilience and resistance to decay.

A barrel sauna should last 15 – 20 years with proper care and maintenance.

The time it takes to heat a barrel sauna can vary depending on factors such as the size and the type of heating system used. Typically, heating a barrel sauna to the desired temperature can take 30 minutes to an hour.

We manufacture our barrel saunas with red cedar, white cedar, and pine wood.

A barrel sauna is, as the name implies, an outdoor sauna that is formed like a barrel turned on its side. These saunas have curving front and rear walls that are encircled by long staves (lengths of wood with bevelled or notched edges) that fit together.

Cedarwood or Canadian hemlock is best for manufacturing barrel saunas.

Our barrel saunas are unique because they are handmade in your, truly Ontario, Canada.

Saunas and steam rooms are generally considered safe for most people. However, they can be dangerous for specific individuals, including pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, and those with heart disease or other underlying health conditions. Before using a sauna or steam room, it is advisable to counsel a physician.

There are a few dangers associated with using saunas, the most common of which is dehydration. When you’re exposed to high temperatures in a sauna, your body sweats to cool down. This sweating can result in loss of water and minerals, which can lead to dehydration if it’s not replaced.

Other potential dangers associated with saunas include heat stroke and heart attack. These are both severe but rare conditions that can occur if you’re exposed to high temperatures for an extended period of time.

In warmer climates, staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged sauna sessions is vital.

You should not drink water during a sauna session. You can drink some mineral water after the first session.

You should not have an empty stomach or a full stomach. It should be moderate as it doesn’t press your health.

Outdoor saunas are typically made from high-quality materials that can withstand the elements such as heat and other environmental conditions, so ideally, we cannot use an indoor sauna for outdoor purposes.

In general, it depends on the place where you live (maybe hot or cold). The temperature in the area around the sauna affects how long it takes to heat up. Give your outdoor sauna a bit more time to warm up if you reside in a northern region, have an outdoor sauna, and it’s the dead of winter. Additionally, the heat-up time will be influenced by how hot or burning a person prefers their sauna to be.
