Hi Elena and Wim!
Yes, it’s been a big success. We really love it. I actually much prefer it to the hot tub, it’s so nice to listen to the logs crackling It’s all wood fired and takes about 20 minutes to heat – and can get VERY hot. You only need about 3 logs for a good sauna and it’s easy to get going.

I will put some more photos up and do a new article soon I think, as we have made some additions to it. We’ve got a cold shower outside for summer, a wood rail around the stove so you don’t burn yourself and the roof is now tiled as it did leak a bit in the rain (as the manufacturer said it would – not severely but it would drip a bit). The tiles are really lovely – pic here

Are you looking at getting it from Steve at Saunakits? We found him very helpful.

dear,

we are on the moment considering buying a similar barrel sauna like you bought
Are you happy with this?
I thing you heat it with a woodstove otherwise how much KW is the electric stove you use?

friendly greetings

we must concentrate more on eco-friendly materials and practices to help save the environment.:`’
