Common Questions
Get instant answers to the most frequently asked questions
What's the difference between barrel and cabin saunas?
Barrel saunas heat faster and more efficiently due to their curved shape—no wasted corner space. They're also more visually striking and require less wood to build. Cabin saunas offer more interior space but take longer to heat and use more energy.
How long does installation take?
Most customers complete barrel sauna installation in 4-6 hours with 2-3 people and basic tools. We provide detailed step-by-step instructions. Infrared cabin saunas typically take 2-3 hours and can be assembled by one person.
Do I need a concrete pad for my sauna?
A level base is required—concrete, pavers, gravel, or treated lumber deck all work. The surface should be flat, stable, and well-draining. We recommend a concrete pad for the longest lifespan, but many customers successfully use other foundations.
What's the cost to run an electric sauna?
Electric barrel saunas typically use 6-8kW heaters. At average electricity rates, expect $1-2 per hour of operation. A typical 20-minute session costs $0.30-0.70. Wood-fired models have minimal operating costs but require firewood.
How do I maintain my cedar sauna?
Cedar saunas require minimal maintenance. Rinse benches after use, ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, and treat exterior wood annually with protective oil. Interior cedar should remain untreated. With basic care, your sauna will last 20+ years.
Can I use my sauna year-round?
Yes! Our outdoor saunas are built for all seasons. Winter sauna sessions followed by snow rolling are a traditional Finnish practice. Summer evening sessions are equally enjoyable. The cedar construction naturally handles temperature extremes.
