Aesthetically pleasing and incredibly efficient, the Vienna barrel sauna is compact and powerful. The sauna measures 6’x5’, with one foot of that space delegated to the exterior benches. It fits up to two people, who can enjoy temperatures of 180ºF inside the sauna thanks to the Harvia 4.5kW electric heater. Anyone can utilize the exterior benches that frame the door to cool off after the sauna, or to store sauna essentials: towels, water, and more. Delay the sauna start time up to eight hours using the timer on the heater, and get ready for a relaxing sauna session!

Options & Customizations

Lumber type: Choose between three different types of solid lumber. Rustic fir is light in color, with small knots creating a unique pattern on each piece. Rustic cedar has a slightly red hue amongst the knots and boasts a pleasant cedar aroma. Clear cedar is premium lumber, with knots noticeably absent. All three lumber options are 1 ⅜” thick to insulate the sauna room.

Vista Rear Window: Open the barrel sauna interior to breathtaking views with the addition of the vista rear window. This 20” x 36” piece of 3/8” glass sits on the back end barrel, above the electric heater.

Door style: Outfit your sauna with one of the following four door options: deluxe glass, fading glass, wood with a window, all-wood.

Heater: You can upgrade the Vienna from the standard 4.5kW heater to a 6kW.

Care & Maintenance

Traditional saunas require very little upkeep. Simply wipe down the interior after each use and check for any dust or debris that you may have tracked in.

Shipping & Assembly

The Vienna will ship via an LTL truck and will arrive curbside on a single pallet.

Some basic handyman skills are helpful when assembling the sauna. The only additional equipment needed is a cordless drill. Two people can generally do the assembly in 6 hours or less. It is recommended that you review the assembly manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the process.

Two Ways to Enjoy Your Sauna

Heater and stones are essential to a traditional sauna experience. With the room at least heated to 160ºF, the traditional sauna can be enjoyed in two ways. The first is called a dry sauna, which lacks any added moisture. The second is called a wet sauna, where you sprinkle water onto the heated stones to create a refreshing burst of steam and added humidity.
