Unwind in the Barrel Sauna Arvid — a spacious 4.7m² barrel sauna designed for 2–4 people, with an inviting curved entrance canopy and bench seating for cooling off between sessions. The rounded barrel shape holds heat evenly throughout, making it a lasting, genuinely relaxing retreat for your garden.
Arvid is built with 42mm tongue and groove wall panels (28mm front and back), giving it a solid feel rather than a lightweight garden add-on. Two side windows and a half-moon window in bronze tempered glass let in natural light while keeping the space private, and a matching bronze tempered glass door completes the look. Four benches — two inside, two on the exterior canopy — mean you have somewhere to sit whether you're heating up or cooling down, and Arvid works equally well with an electric or wood-burning heater.
