Pine 2 Person Sauna & Ice Bath

The iconic curved silhouette of a traditional barrel sauna — handcrafted in Thailand by our Finnish master builder. This timeless design combines Nordic heritage with proven thermal efficiency, creating a striking focal point for any outdoor space.

This model measures 1500 long x 2100mm high, comfortably accommodating 2 people. The distinctive cylindrical shape isn't just beautiful — it promotes natural heat circulation, warming the interior faster and more evenly than conventional rectangular designs.

Precision-milled timber staves lock together using traditional tongue-and-groove joinery, secured by adjustable stainless steel bands that maintain structural integrity as the wood naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes. The curved walls direct heat downward from the ceiling, eliminating cold spots and reducing energy consumption.

Choose from three premium timbers: Teak, Red Cedar, or Thermowood Pine. Each is selected for dimensional stability and performance in high-heat, high-humidity conditions.

The sauna arrives as pre-cut stave bundles with all hardware included — assembly follows a straightforward sequence that most DIYers complete in a single day. The curved components nest together naturally, guided by the steel bands. Professional installation available if preferred.

Every barrel sauna ships complete with a traditional, TÜV Safety Certified, stone heater featuring wall-mounted touchscreen control, volcanic sauna stones, ambient interior lighting, bucket and ladle set, thermometer, and sand timer. The optional Wi-Fi module enables smartphone control via the iOS or Android app.

Q: Why choose a barrel sauna over a rectangular cabin?

A: The curved interior promotes natural convection — hot air circulates efficiently rather than pooling at the ceiling. This means faster heat-up times, more even temperature distribution, and lower running costs. The iconic silhouette also creates a striking garden feature.

Q: How does the barrel construction handle Thailand's climate?

A: All our barrel saunas use timber selected for tropical conditions. The stave construction with adjustable steel bands accommodates the natural expansion and contraction that occurs with humidity changes. Teak and Thermowood Pine offer the best dimensional stability for humid climates.

Q: Is the barrel sauna weatherproof?

A: Yes. The tight tongue-and-groove joinery and curved design naturally shed rainwater. For additional protection in heavy rain areas, an optional canopy or shelter extension is available. The timber itself (particularly Teak and Thermowood) resists moisture penetration.

Q: Which timber is best for barrel saunas?

A: Red Cedar is the traditional choice — lightweight, aromatic, and naturally rot-resistant. Teak offers premium durability with minimal maintenance. Thermowood Pine provides excellent stability at a moderate price point. All three perform well; choose based on aesthetics and budget.

Q: How difficult is assembly?

A: More involved than flat-pack furniture but achievable for competent DIYers. The staves lock together progressively, with steel bands providing structural tension. Allow a full day for a 2-person model with 2-3 helpers. Detailed illustrated instructions guide each step. Professional installation is available.

Q: What foundation does a barrel sauna need?

A: Position on a level, stable surface that allows airflow underneath — concrete blocks, railway sleepers, or purpose-built cradles work well. The barrel should sit on support points, not directly on the ground, to prevent moisture accumulation and allow air circulation beneath.

Q: What electrical requirements apply?

A: The included heater requires a dedicated circuit. Single phase (200-240V) needs 28A capacity with 6.0mm² cabling. Three phase (380-415V) requires 9A capacity with 2.5mm² cabling. Installation by a licensed electrician is mandatory.

Q: How do I maintain the steel bands?

A: Check band tension seasonally. New saunas may require slight tightening after the first few months as timber settles. Bands should be firm but not over-tight — the timber needs room for natural movement. Stainless steel construction prevents corrosion.

Q: Can I add a changing room or porch?

A: Yes. Extended barrel configurations include a separate changing area within the barrel structure. External porches and shelters can also be added. Contact us to discuss options for your installation.

Q: What size barrel sauna do I need?

A: The 2-person model suits couples or solo use with room to stretch out. The 4-person accommodates small families or friends bathing together. The 6-person serves larger groups or commercial settings. We can build custom lengths for specific requirements.

Q: What's included with the barrel sauna?

A: Every barrel sauna includes: precision-cut timber staves, stainless steel tensioning bands, solid end walls with tempered glass door and window, traditional TÜV Safety Certified stone heater, wall-mounted touchscreen controller, volcanic sauna stones, interior light, wooden bucket and ladle, thermometer, sand timer, and comprehensive assembly guide (English).

Q: How long does delivery take?

A: Standard delivery is 4-6 weeks from order confirmation for most Thai locations. Custom sizes may require additional lead time. We confirm your specific delivery schedule during ordering.

Q: What are typical running costs?

A: Electric heaters typically cost ฿400-800 monthly for regular use (3-4 sessions weekly). Barrel saunas generally heat faster and retain warmth efficiently due to the curved design, often using less energy than equivalent rectangular cabins.

Q: Are barrel saunas suitable for commercial use?

A: Absolutely. The distinctive appearance makes them ideal feature installations for resorts, hotels, and wellness centres. The robust construction handles frequent use. Contact us regarding sizing and volume requirements for commercial projects.

A barrel ice bath with PVC wood composite exterior and a full 304 stainless steel interior. PVC wood offers the look of timber without the maintenance — it won't rot, split, crack, or require regular oiling, even in Thailand's humidity and UV exposure.

• 2. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit for heat dissipation
• 3. Fill with clean water to the indicated line
• 4. Plug into a grounded 220V outlet
• 5. Power on and set the target temperature via the control panel or app
• 6. Allow 12-24 hours for initial cool-down to the target temperature
• 7. Fit an insulated cover when not in use
• Note: Unit requires approximately 50cm clearance on all sides for airflow. Indoor installation is recommended for optimal performance and longevity.

Ice Bath Care & Maintenance

• Your Sisu ice bath is built to last with minimal upkeep. A simple routine keeps the water fresh, the equipment running efficiently, and your cold plunge experience at its best. Whether you're using an integrated chiller system or adding ice manually, these steps will help you get the most out of your investment.
• The key to low-maintenance ownership is consistency. A few minutes after each session and a short weekly check prevents the kind of buildup that leads to bigger jobs down the track.

After Every Session

• Shower before entering. Body oils, sunscreen, sweat, and lotions are the number one cause of cloudy water and filter clogging. A quick rinse before you plunge makes a significant difference to water quality.
• Replace the insulated lid immediately. This maintains water temperature, reduces energy consumption on chiller units, and keeps debris, insects, and leaves out of the water.
• Wipe down the rim and any exposed surfaces with a clean cloth to prevent waterline buildup.
• Remove any visible debris from the water with a small skimmer net.

Weekly Routine

• Check water clarity and smell. Clean water should be clear with no odour. If cloudy or smelly, change the water regardless of when you last filled it.
• Clean or rinse the filter element (chiller models). Remove the cartridge and rinse under running water — takes under two minutes and keeps circulation at full flow.
• Wipe the waterline around the interior with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Mild dish soap or diluted white vinegar is all you need.
• Test water quality if you're using sanitising tablets or water treatment products. Simple test strips from pool supply shops give a quick read on pH and sanitiser levels.

Fortnightly (Chiller Models)

• Check the ozone generator is functioning. Most units have an indicator light — if it's off or flashing, consult your user manual or contact us.
• Inspect hose connections between the chiller and tub for leaks or loosening. Tighten fittings by hand — don't overtighten.
• Clean the chiller's air intake and exhaust vents. Dust and insects accumulate quickly in Thailand's climate. Wipe or vacuum the vents to maintain airflow and cooling efficiency.

Monthly Routine

• Deep clean the interior. Drain completely, wipe all interior surfaces with a mild cleaning solution, and rinse thoroughly before refilling. For stainless steel, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. For composite or timber, use only approved products for that material.
• Replace the filter cartridge if showing wear, discolouration, or reduced flow even after rinsing. Most filters last 2–3 months depending on usage.
• Inspect the drain valve and plug for signs of wear or slow leaking. Replace seals if needed.
• Timber exteriors: Check for cracking, splitting, or discolouration. Apply recommended timber treatment oil if the wood appears dry. Thailand's UV and humidity accelerate timber aging.

Water Change Schedule

• With chiller, ozone, and filtration: Change every 2–4 weeks depending on usage. Heavy daily use or multiple users requires more frequent changes.
• Without a chiller (manual ice): Change after every session, or at minimum every 2–3 days. Standing water without sanitation becomes a breeding ground for bacteria in Thailand's warm climate.
• Always use clean tap water. If your supply has high mineral content, consider a basic inline filter on your garden hose to reduce calcium buildup.

Seasonal Tips for Thailand

• Hot season (March–May): Expect longer cooling times and higher energy use. Ensure good ventilation around the chiller and keep it out of direct sunlight.
• Rainy season: Outdoor tubs need more frequent cleaning. Check for debris buildup and ensure the area around the base has adequate drainage.

What to Avoid

• No bleach, pool chlorine, or harsh chemicals. These damage interior surfaces, seals, and chiller components. Use products designed for small cold plunge systems, or ask us for recommendations.
• Never leave the tub uncovered. Uncovered water in Thailand attracts mosquitoes and debris rapidly.
• Don't run the chiller without adequate water level. The pump must be fully submerged. Running dry damages the pump and voids your warranty.
• Don't pressure wash timber exteriors. High pressure forces water into the grain and causes splitting. A gentle hose and wipe is sufficient.

Chiller Maintenance

• Keep the unit on a level, stable surface with at least 30cm clearance on all sides for airflow.
• Visually check refrigerant lines for damage or wear. Do not attempt refrigerant repairs yourself — contact us or a qualified technician.
• The compressor and fan are sealed units requiring no user maintenance. If you hear unusual noises, frequent cycling, or the unit isn't reaching target temperature, contact support.
• Clean the condenser coils every 3–6 months by gently brushing off dust and debris. This is the single most impactful task for chiller longevity and efficiency.

When to Contact Us

• Water not reaching target temperature despite clean filters and vents
• Unusual noises from the chiller or pump
• Error codes on the digital controller
• Ozone generator not activating
• Any leaks from the tub, fittings, or chiller unit
• Visible damage to the interior surface
• Questions about replacement parts or filter cartridges

Warranty Reminder

• Regular maintenance as outlined above is a condition of your warranty. Keep a simple log of water changes and filter replacements — this protects you in the unlikely event of a warranty claim and helps us diagnose issues faster.

Q: Does this come with a chiller?

A: The tub and chiller are sold separately so you can choose the right chiller for your needs. Select from Standard (1.0HP or 2.0HP), Mid-Range (1.0HP or 2.0HP), or Premium (2.0HP) options during checkout.

Q: Can I use it without a chiller?

A: Yes. Fill with water and add ice manually. Without a chiller, you'll need to change the water after each session and add fresh ice each time.

Q: What is PVC wood?

A: A composite material that combines PVC with wood fibres. It has the visual appearance of timber but doesn't absorb moisture, rot, or require the regular oiling and treatment that natural timber does. Particularly practical in Thailand's tropical climate.

Q: How does it compare to a real timber barrel?

A: PVC wood is lower maintenance — no oiling, no worrying about cracking or splitting. Natural timber (Red Cedar, Spruce) has a richer, more organic look and feel. Both options have a stainless steel interior, so the bathing experience is identical.

Q: Will it fade in the sun?

A: PVC wood composites are UV-stabilised and resist fading better than untreated natural timber. Some gradual colour change is normal over years of direct sun exposure.

Q: How cold can it get with a chiller?

A: Down to 3°C. Most users find 5–10°C optimal for cold therapy benefits.

Q: How heavy is it when full?

A: Approximately 765kg. Ground-level installation on a solid concrete base is recommended.

Q: What's included in the box?

A: The ice bath tub with lid, 2 hoses, 2 spare filters, filter wrench, 2 rubber seals, and user manual. Chiller unit ordered separately.

Q: What's the warranty?

A: 1 year covering electrical components and structural defects. Does not cover damage from improper installation, power surges, or cosmetic wear.
