The traditional barrel sauna
A barrel sauna is a traditional outdoor sauna design suitable for any garden. It’s a round sauna in the shape of a wine barrel. The round shape allows heat to circulate well, thereby reducing the time that it takes to heat the sauna up. There are no nooks and crannies that need to be heated, you see.
Depending on the outside temperature, a barrel sauna will reach 80°C degrees or higher within 30 (wood-fired stove) to 45 minutes (electric heater). Which would you prefer: the charm of a wood-fired stove or the convenience of an electric sauna heater? Nordic pinewood, Thermowood, red or white cedar wood? It’s all possible with a TICRA barrel sauna.

Always a barrel sauna to suit you
Here at TICRA, we have a barrel sauna for everyone.
We don’t offer just one variety of wood; our range encompasses four wonderful alternative varieties:
1. Nordic Pinewood Barrel Sauna
Beautiful barrel saunas made of Nordic pinewood are part of TICRA’s barrel sauna collection. This variety of wood allows for the most affordable 'from’ prices in our range. Even so, our Nordic Pinewood saunas will easily last for decades, provided that the outdoor sauna is treated and maintained with one of the very high-quality Tikurilla woodstains from our range. Looking for an affordable sauna that’s also sustainable and has a high-quality finish? Then choose one of our Nordic pinewood barrel saunas!
The TICRA Nordic Pinewood outdoor sauna is made of high-quality FSC wood from Northern Europe. The cold temperatures in this region means that trees grow slowly, and so the growth rings are close together. The result of this is wood with a high insulation value and a long lifespan.

2. Barrel sauna Thermowood
Another eye-catching sauna in the TICRA collection is the barrel sauna made of Thermowood. A Thermowood outdoor sauna has undergone thermal treatment. This treatment entails the wood being heated to approximately 230°C, a process that removes sugars, carbohydrates and resins from the wood. One major advantage of this is that there is no longer any food available for insects and moulds. This significantly increases the lifespan of our Thermowood outdoor saunas.

3. White Cedar Barrel Sauna
Barrel saunas made of white cedar have a beautiful, light, even colour. This extremely tough variety of wood from Eastern Canada is extremely durable. And it’s not just the wood in these outdoor saunas that's of Canadian original; these outdoor saunas themselves are manufactured in Canada too. Quality standards in Canada are high, which is evident from these beautiful saunas in our Canadian Timber Collection! In addition to the beautiful colour, the smell of White Cedar wood is exceedingly pleasant. You’ll catch the authentic scent of nature in your own outdoor sauna. This type of wood grows very slowly due to the colder climate in Canada, which is what makes the wood so strong and durable. If you want to keep the original colour, the best thing to do would be to treat the White Cedar sauna with Osmo wood oil or a transparent woodstain once or twice a year.

4. Red Cedar Barrel Sauna
Out of all the varieties of wood that are available in the world for producing saunas, red cedar is the absolute cream of the crop. With its beautiful, distinctive reddish hue and beautiful scent, this wood will captivate many a sauna user. This material from Western Canada even has a great lifespan if left untreated. Our saunas made of red cedar wood are part of the Dundalk collection and are manufactured in Canada to the highest standards of quality. The wood can be treated with oil or woodstain, though can also be left to age. In the case of the latter, the sauna will develop a light grey shade but remain in excellent condition for decades, with no need to treat the wood. To maintain the original wood colour, you can also treat the barrel sauna with Osmo wood oil 1-2 times a year.
