Dundalk Barrel Sauna 8' - Knotty Western Red Cedar

The Dundalk Barrel Sauna - 7' Diameter Knotty Cedar, 8' Length: Extended Space, Classic Warmth The Dundalk Barrel Sauna in Knotty Western Red Cedar at 8 feet long offers additional interior space compared to the 6-foot model—making it ideal for those who want more room to stretch out or accommodate larger groups. At 7 feet in diameter and 8 feet long, this barrel sauna maintains the iconic curved design while providing comfortable seating for up to 6 people. Crafted from knotty Canadian Western Red Cedar with 1½" thick walls, this sauna showcases the natural character of the wood—rich grain patterns and authentic knots that tell their own story. The substantial wall thickness delivers natural insulation that maintains heat efficiently through Maritime winters, while the aromatic cedar creates that unmistakable sauna experience we associate with quality construction. The Experience The barrel design creates natural convection currents that evenly distribute warmth throughout the space, while the curved shape provides impressive structural strength when marine-grade aluminum bands are properly tightened. The 8-foot length gives you noticeably more interior room—whether you're using it for larger gatherings or simply prefer having space to move around comfortably. At 7 feet in diameter, you'll have full standing height inside. Standard benches come in clear cedar wood (despite knotty cedar walls), providing comfortable seating with the extra length accommodating more bench space. A bronze tempered glass door maintains natural light and views, while an opening vent on the back wall ensures proper airflow. The sauna includes a towel bar and 2 backrests for additional comfort. Marine-grade aluminum bands with stainless steel tightening hardware ensure long-lasting structural integrity—essential for outdoor installations exposed to Atlantic weather and seasonal temperature changes. Customization Options Available with various upgrades including flat floor (recommended for easier walking and cleaning), signature curved park-style benches, front porch overhang (2'), changeroom addition (4'), EPDM rubber roof with cedar bevel siding, and more. Choose between electric heaters (8KW or 9KW recommended for 240V operation) or wood-burning stoves depending on your preference and property setup.
