Compact design with a high level of comfort

The Barrel 250 offers all the charm and character of a traditional barrel sauna, with additional space for larger gatherings of up to six people.

Constructed from premium 40mm thermo spruce, the Barrel 250 includes a welcoming front terrace with integrated seating, creating the ideal space to relax before or after your sauna session. Inside, spacious thermo aspen benches and matching duckboard flooring provide comfort and durability, while the striking half panoramic window creates a bright and airy environment that helps connect you with the outdoors. Complete with roof shingles, LED lighting, a tempered glass door, and integrated ventilation, every detail has been designed with comfort and longevity in mind. Heating options include the powerful 9kW Harvia Cilindro electric heater, with optional WiFi control available, or the highly regarded Harvia Linear 18 wood-burning stove, allowing you to choose between modern convenience and a more traditional sauna experience.

Nordic spruce interior

Sit opposite another sauna bather with your back nicely cradled in the curvature of the sauna wall with enough room for your neck to remain straight.

Beautifully crafted

Built with solid wood staves, the structural integrity of a barrel sauna withstands even the harshest outdoor environment. The notched staves create a tight, secure fit that will last a lifetime without the excessive use of fasteners.

Why is a Barrel Sauna so effective?

With less unused space (imagine a circle inside a square), the barrel design lets the heater do its job faster and more efficiently. In a square sauna, the heat gets trapped at the ceiling. In a barrel sauna, the heat is pushed back down the curved sides and into the sauna as new heat rises from the heater. Barrel saunas naturally shed water and, due to their structural integrity, can handle a substantial snow load. The polymer support cradles let you put the barrel on any flat surface, and the Thermowood is naturally resistant to water and insects. Because there is less unused airspace to heat, less energy is required to heat the room. The thick staves are excellent insulators, and the exterior of the sauna will remain cool to the touch. The ball-and-socket assembly of a barrel sauna lets the wood expand and contract within the steel bands, creating a tight seal that won’t shatter.
