FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between hemlock and spliced red cedar?
Hemlock is a light-coloured, cost-effective softwood with excellent insulation properties and minimal scent. Spliced red cedar offers a premium appearance with a rich, reddish-brown colour, a distinctive aromatic scent, and superior natural rot resistance. Both woods perform excellently in Thailand’s climate – the choice depends on your aesthetic preferences and budget.
Is this sauna suitable for outdoor use in Thailand?
Yes, this barrel sauna is specifically designed for outdoor installation in tropical climates. Both hemlock and spliced red cedar naturally resist rot, decay, and insects. The waterproof asphalt roof shingles protect against heavy rain, while the 38mm-thick walls provide excellent insulation, even in humid conditions.
How many people can comfortably use this sauna?
The 240cm × 180cm barrel sauna accommodates 6-8 people with opposite-facing bench seating. For comfortable lounging or lying down, 4-6 people are ideal. The spacious interior and covered porch offer ample space for relaxation and cooling between sessions.
Do I choose between an electric or a wood-burning heater?
We supply the appropriate heater based on your installation location and preferences. During the ordering process, we’ll discuss your requirements and provide either an electric heater (for locations with reliable power) or a wood-burning stove (for off-grid or traditional installations). Both options are included in the price.
How long does assembly take?
With 2-3 people working together, assembly typically takes 1 to 2 days. The components are pre-cut, and many sections come pre-assembled, which significantly speeds up the process. Detailed step-by-step instructions are included. Basic hand tools are all that’s required.
What is the base or foundation I need?
The sauna requires a level, stable surface that can support a weight of 500-600kg when occupied. Recommended options include concrete pads, paving stones, or reinforced timber decking. The surface should extend at least 30cm beyond the sauna footprint on all sides for access and ventilation.
Do I need to treat or maintain the timber?
Both hemlock and spliced red cedar naturally weather to a silver-grey patina over time without affecting performance. For aesthetic purposes, you can apply exterior timber oil annually to maintain the original colour. The interior should remain untreated to preserve natural aromatic properties. Regular cleaning and proper ventilation after use extend the sauna’s lifespan.
How long does delivery take to my location?
Standard delivery timeframe is 2-3 weeks from order confirmation for most locations throughout Thailand. Remote areas may require additional time. We’ll confirm your specific delivery schedule during the ordering process and provide tracking information once your sauna ships.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Electric heaters typically cost 500-800 baht per month in electricity for regular use (3-4 sessions weekly). Wood-burning stoves require firewood purchases. Annual maintenance is minimal, mainly consisting of optional timber treatment and occasional cleaning. The stainless steel components and quality timber construction ensure long-lasting durability with minimal upkeep.
Can this sauna be relocated if I move?
Yes, barrel saunas can be disassembled and relocated. The band-and-stave construction system enables straightforward disassembly and reassembly, unlike built-in sauna rooms. However, professional assistance is recommended for relocation to ensure proper reassembly and seal integrity.
