It is difficult to pinpoint when outdoor saunas first came to be, as scientists have found evidence of similar structures dating back thousands of years on nearly all continents. However, the modern structures that we know now as garden saunas can be attributed to the Finns. They popularised wood burning and electric outdoor saunas, which are ubiquitous in Finland, worldwide. It is no surprise that outdoor saunas have become beloved outside of Scandinavia as well – they offer the perfect retreat from fast-paced modern life. What is more, this escape is accessible to everyone – outdoor saunas come in a variety shapes and sizes to suit every garden! See our products here.

The rounded shape of the barrel sauna not only provides an aesthetic appeal but also ensures improved air circulation, leading to a pleasant sauna climate. This traditional design creates an inviting environment where time seems to stand still.
Versatile Wood Loading Options
The Saunafass Barrel Sauna with Wood Fired Stove offers two practical options for wood loading – from the inside and from the outside. The interior option, for instance, allows the use of wood stoves like the Harvia 20, while the external option, with the Harvia 20 SL, facilitates convenient loading from the outside. This flexibility makes the Saunafass Barrel Sauna with Wood Fired Stove highly adaptable to individual preferences and spatial constraints.
Rapid Heating Time with the Wood Fired Stove
Another advantage of this sauna variant is its impressively fast heating time, thanks to the powerful wood-fired stove.

This sensory element adds to the overall sauna experience, enhancing the feeling of connection to nature.
Safety Considerations
When using a wood-fired stove in the Saunafass Barrel Sauna, it is crucial to take necessary safety precautions.

Reconnect with nature with a wood burning garden sauna
It is no surprise that wood burning heaters for barrel and pod garden saunas continue to be a beloved choice. Only wood logs can produce that fantastic crackling sound and natural smell, that adds so much to the experience of the outdoor sauna. Harvia wood burning heaters are very user-friendly with a straight-forward design to suit every need. Harvia M3 model has the traditional design with the log hatch accessible inside the outdoor sauna, whereas Harvia M3 SL has a log hatch accessible from the outside. The latter option is especially useful for commercial garden saunas in hotels, B&Bs, and other establishments – logs can be re-loaded from the outside, without interrupting the relaxation of the guests. Compatible with a stainless steel water tank for generating a steam effect.
Enjoy a hassle-free outdoor sauna experience with an electric heater
In certain conditions, in areas where fumes are prohibited, an electric sauna heater is the perfect solution. It takes no time for the sauna to start heating – zero preparation time just set the thermostat to the desired temperature. At the same time, just like wood-burning heaters, most electric sauna heaters come with sauna stones, thus a steam effect can be achieved. Our selection of Harvia electric heaters for garden saunas ranges from the default 6kW to 9kW and up, to suit every volume and every preference. Note: electric Harvia heaters require a 3-phase, 380V connection.
Outdoor sauna designs: Barrel sauna vs Igloo (Pod) sauna versus rectangular sauna versus vertical up-right standing sauna
The barrel garden sauna is beloved for a reason – it is designed with efficiency in mind. The traditional barrel design takes up less floor space and, due to its cylinder shape, has a smaller internal volume which translates to quicker heating time. The Igloo pod garden sauna, on the other hand, is more spacious and has a higher ceiling. The sloped roof is perfect for mountainous areas and anywhere else with significant amounts of snowfall. The up-right standing garden sauna is very popular among the small garden owners. This type of outdoor sauna takes as much space as a medium-size hot tub. In addition, this garden sauna requires very little time to heat. On the other hand, the rectangular outside wooden sauna has the biggest volume and it can fit up to maximum 12-16 persons. The square outdoor saunas are usually heated by wood-fired heaters since their effectiveness is comparably higher. To sum up, all the above-mentioned outdoor saunas are great and each person will choose the design which would best meet his needs.

Possible construction options of outdoor garden saunas
Outdoor sauna with a changing room
A small and cozy changing room in front of the outdoor sauna room is a recommended addition to any garden sauna. With benches on either side and a possibility for overhead shelves, guest can leave their clothing, bathrobes, slippers, towels etc. behind before entering the steamy sauna. What is more, separating the entrance door from the outdoor sauna room with a small 1 or 1,5 meter changing room helps to retain heat better!
Garden outdoor sauna with a terrace or a porch
A beloved addition to wooden outdoor saunas is a small roofed terrace or porch surrounding the entrance. Framed by wooden benches with backrests on both sides, the roofed terrace is perfect for relaxing before or after the outdoor sauna cleanse, to have a cup of sauna tea and wind down. The benches are crafted from the same wood type as the sauna.
Outdoor sauna kit – DIY project for difficult of access locations
Although all of our outdoor saunas are available as fully assembled units, for those yearning for a fun DIY project or looking to install a garden sauna in a difficult access location, the outdoor sauna assembly kit may be the best choice. Ready-to-assemble kits include all of the necessary parts, from the bitumen shingles to the screws. Assembly may take 1-2 days, depending on the size of the outdoor sauna and the number of people involved (we recommend at least 2 people). Garden sauna kits are especially handy for gardens with narrow access pathways or mountainous areas with narrow roads (any areas inaccessible for large trucks) – such flat-packed kits can be unloaded and moved piece by piece.
