Why a Barrel Sauna Instead of a Square Cabin?
Barrel sauna or square garden cabin? Heat-up time, snow and rain, base, cost per seat and where a barrel falls short, so you can choose with confidence.
Read →A garden sauna kit in 44 mm solid spruce, with a wood-fired or electric stove. Every part is made and fitted at the factory, with instructions in the box. Delivery to Ireland is in the price; kits from 2 690 €.
Stands on paving, slabs or firm level ground. No concreting, and small garden saunas often need no permission — check local rules.
Prefabricated parts and step-by-step instructions. Prefer not to build it? Our crew assembles it, from 1 390 €.
The kit arrives on a pallet at your kerb or driveway — delivery is already in the price.
44 mm walls and a stove of your choice — as good in a frosty January as in summer.
Short clips from assembly and first firings — no retouching.
The customer chose the 2.4 m barrel sauna with a covered terrace and the Etna 12 wood-burning stove, fired from outside — wood and ash stay outdoors. The kit arrived on 22 October, and on 25 October our crew assembled the sauna on the prepared paving, ran the chimney through the roof and lit the first fire together with the customer.
About 1 kW of output per cubic metre. Quadro 2 m is about 8 m³, so a stove of 8–9 kW. With a lot of glazing or harsh winters we add a margin.
A stove that is too weak lets you down exactly when you need the sauna most — in frost. One that is too strong burns through wood and raises your bill for nothing in return.

All questions →No. A level, firm base is enough — paving, patio slabs, or gravel with slabs. No concrete foundation is needed.
Small garden saunas often do not need permission, but the rules differ by area and by how close you build to a boundary. Check with your local council (planning authority), and ask in writing if you want certainty. A wood-fired stove with a flue may bring extra requirements.
Yes. All parts are prefabricated and fitted at the factory, and step-by-step instructions with drawings are in the box. Two adults usually need about two days the first time. You need a cordless screwdriver, a hammer, a spirit level and a stepladder.
You can ask a local tradesperson, or order assembly by our crew as an extra, from 1 390 €. The price applies to a ready, level and firm base; on unprepared ground we quote individually.
