Room for the Whole Family in a Sauna That Still Fits Your Backyard
A square cabin sauna wastes a lot of air in its corners, air the stove still has to heat. The Arosa is a 4 person traditional barrel sauna built round on purpose, so there's less wasted space to heat while still comfortably seating the whole family or a group of friends. It fits into a corner of a patio or backyard without needing a commercial size footprint, without giving up a real wood fired sauna experience. Built from Pacific Premium Cedar with a bronze privacy tempered glass door.
Assembles with 3 adults using a Phillips screwdriver, claw hammer, ladder, and a 17mm wrench, with the pre-shaped stave panel system. A rope is optional for holding staves in place during assembly. The stove wiring requires a licensed electrician, separate from the sauna room assembly itself.
How Does the Arosa Actually Work
A traditional stove heats volcanic stones inside the cabin, warming the air and the wood around you rather than your body directly the way infrared does. The round barrel shape means heat rises and circulates evenly around the curved walls, so the cabin reaches temperature with less wasted space than a square room of the same capacity.
Stove Options
The Arosa ships with a 6.0kW stove with built in controls as standard. An 8kW stove is available as an optional upgrade if you want a faster heat up or you're in a colder climate. Ideal stove temperature runs 170 to 185°F, with the sauna able to reach up to 190°F.
What Is a Barrel Sauna
A barrel sauna is a cylindrical sauna room built from curved wood staves instead of flat panel walls, shaped like a barrel laid on its side. The round shape circulates heat more evenly than a square cabin and lets rain and snow run off the roof naturally instead of pooling, which is why barrel saunas are built specifically for outdoor placement rather than adapted from an indoor design.
What Makes a Barrel Sauna Different Outdoors
The curved design means water naturally runs off the roof instead of pooling, so it holds up well left outdoors long term. Some water seepage between the staves is normal and expected on any outdoor barrel sauna, it will not damage the wood and dries quickly once the stove is running.
What Results Can You Actually Expect
Many people use sauna sessions to relax, ease tense muscles, and unwind after a long day. This sauna is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

FAQ
What is a barrel sauna, and how is it different from a regular sauna?
A barrel sauna is built from curved wood staves in a cylindrical shape instead of flat panel walls. The round shape heats more evenly with less wasted air than a square cabin, and its curved roof sheds rain and snow naturally.
Can this sauna be placed outdoors year round?
Yes. The Arosa is built for outdoor use, with a curved roof designed to shed rain and snow.
Is some water seepage normal?
Yes. Water may seep between the staves over time due to the natural, porous nature of the wood. This will not damage the sauna and dries quickly once the stove is running.
What kind of surface does this sauna need to sit on?
A level, dry surface that can support the sauna's weight. A concrete base or wood deck is recommended.
Is the rain cover required?
No. It's included and recommended for extra protection when the sauna isn't in use, but it isn't required for the sauna to function outdoors.
Can I upgrade the stove?
Yes. The Arosa ships with a 6.0kW stove standard, with an 8kW stove available as an upgrade for faster heat up.
Does this need a special electrical outlet?
Yes. The stove needs its own dedicated circuit, 240V/30AMP for the 6kW stove or 240V/40AMP for the 8kW stove, plus a separate 120V/15AMP circuit for the lighting. Both must be installed by a licensed electrician.
How many people does this sauna fit?
4 people, seated on the built in bench.
How long does it take to assemble?
Assembly takes 3 adults using a Phillips screwdriver, claw hammer, ladder, and a 17mm wrench, with the stave panels fitting into a pre-shaped cradle system.
