There is something undeniably appealing about a barrel sauna sitting proudly in a Scottish garden. The shape is timeless, the heat is efficient, and the experience feels wonderfully traditional while still fitting neatly into modern outdoor spaces. At Scottish Saunas, our barrel sauna range has recently been updated, offering more choice, more space, and more flexibility for homeowners and businesses across Scotland.
Whether you are looking for a compact sauna for peaceful solo sessions or a larger social space with a changing room and seating area, the new Thermowood barrel saunas are available to order and can be professionally installed anywhere in Scotland.
Why Choose a Thermowood Barrel Sauna
Thermowood is one of the most popular materials for outdoor saunas and for good reason. The timber is heat treated rather than chemically treated, which improves durability, stability, and resistance to moisture. This makes it well suited to the Scottish climate where weather can change its mind several times in one afternoon.
The barrel shape is not just about looks. It encourages better air circulation, allowing heat to rise evenly and stay consistent throughout the sauna. This means quicker heat up times, improved energy efficiency, and a more comfortable sauna session overall.
All barrel saunas in the Scottish Saunas range are designed for outdoor use and can be paired with electric heaters from trusted manufacturers such as Harvia or Huum depending on your preference.
Scottish Saunas Classic Barrel Sauna 2 x 2m
The Scottish Saunas Classic Barrel Sauna 2 x 2m is a well balanced option that suits many gardens and outdoor spaces. Its compact footprint makes it accessible for most homes while still offering a comfortable internal sauna area.
This model is ideal for individuals or couples who want a straightforward sauna setup without additional sections. It delivers a traditional sauna experience with efficient heat retention and a timeless barrel design that blends naturally into outdoor surroundings.
Classic Barrel Sauna with Porch Seats 2 x 2.4m
For those who enjoy taking their time between sauna sessions, the Classic Barrel Sauna with Porch Seats 2 x 2.4m adds a practical and inviting porch area.
The porch seating creates a space to cool down, relax, or enjoy the fresh air between rounds. It also provides a convenient place for towels and robes, making the sauna experience feel more complete. This model works particularly well for social sauna use or for anyone combining sauna bathing with cold water therapy.
Scottish Saunas Premium Barrel Sauna 2.2 x 2.2m
The Scottish Saunas Premium Barrel Sauna 2.2 x 2.2m offers a step up in both space and finish. With slightly increased dimensions, this model provides extra internal comfort while maintaining a clean and elegant barrel profile.
The Premium range is well suited to customers who want a more refined look and feel while still enjoying the efficiency and charm of a barrel sauna. It is a popular choice for homeowners looking to create a spa style atmosphere in their garden.
Premium Barrel Sauna with Porch Seats 2.2 x 2.6m
The largest and most versatile option in the new range is the Premium Barrel Sauna with Porch Seats 2.2 x 2.6m. This model combines generous internal sauna space with an extended porch seating area.
It is ideal for longer sauna sessions, entertaining guests, or creating a standout wellness feature for holiday accommodation or boutique hospitality settings. The additional space allows users to move comfortably between heat and rest without leaving the sauna environment.
Choosing Between Classic and Premium Barrel Saunas
The choice between Classic and Premium models often comes down to space, budget, and how the sauna will be used. Classic barrel saunas offer excellent performance and value, making them ideal for private home use. Premium models provide additional comfort and a more luxurious finish, which suits customers looking for a higher end experience.
Adding porch seating further enhances usability by creating a natural transition space between sauna sessions. This feature is especially popular with customers who enjoy sharing the sauna with friends or family.
Professional Supply and Installation Across Scotland
All barrel saunas in the new range are available for supply only or full installation across Scotland. Professional installation ensures the sauna is assembled correctly, positioned securely, and ready for safe and reliable use.
Scottish Saunas can also advise on base preparation, electrical requirements, heater selection, and ongoing care to help you enjoy your barrel sauna for many years.
