Feel the Difference, Session After Session

A sauna is more than a warm soak. Use one regularly and you’ll sleep better, ache less, and feel calmer after a long day. For most people it turns into a habit they’d rather not skip.

  • Warm up sore muscles and recover quicker.
  • Wind down in the heat and sleep more soundly.
  • Better circulation for healthier, clearer skin.
  • Ease stiff, achy joints so moving feels easier.
  • A few minutes to switch off and let the day go.
Description

The Barrel Sauna M-EL is a 2.5 metre barrel sauna sized for four to six people, bringing a genuine Nordic sauna ritual into your backyard. At 1.9 metres across, the round barrel shape heats efficiently and circulates warmth evenly, so the whole room comes up to temperature together.

Inside is deep, dry heat that loosens tired muscles, aids recovery and helps you unwind, with a soft steam thrown from water on the hot stones. Heat comes from a genuine Harvia Vega BC80 electric heater from Finland, rated at 8 kW and mounted low so the lower benches also get good steam. Electric suits buyers who want simple, controlled warmth at the turn of a dial, with nothing to feed or tend.

The build is kiln-dried certified Scandinavian spruce with extra-thick 58 mm side walls for insulation and chemical-free production. The roof is finished in bitumen shingles and the barrel is drawn tight with stainless-steel bands. A lockable door with a large window, plus windows in the front and back walls, let daylight in, while timber benches line both sides.

Assembly

Start with the supports. A barrel sauna sits on cradles rather than foundation joists, so the ground beneath needs to be level, have sufficient bearing capacity and free draining across the full 190 x 250 cm footprint, with the cradles bearing evenly on a solid surface. Pavers, a concrete pad or timber sleepers all work. Check that each cradle is carrying its share before assembly continues. If in doubt, always consult a foundation specialist.

Keep the packs flat, dry and off the ground until you are ready. Where the timber is supplied untreated, apply at least two coats of exterior finish to the outside faces and cut ends, and recoat before the finish starts to fail.

Assemble in the order shown in the provided manuals. Timber is a living material. It shrinks and expands with changes in temperature and humidity. This is normal, and it means occasional adjustments to the doors and tension straps over the first few months and with the seasons thereafter.

Our products are under continuous development and improvement, so minor variations from the details shown can occur.

Warranty

Five-year timber warranty

Every Nordic Spa building is backed by a five-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, running from the day it is delivered. No registration, just keep your proof of purchase and look after the timber. Electrical components carry a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Built to last

Our buildings are made from slow-grown European Nordic spruce, pine and aspen, dense and stable timber chosen for a long life outdoors. Sealed, treated and maintained as recommended, a Nordic Spa building is made to be enjoyed for many years, not a few seasons.

A few simple things keep your warranty valid:

A suitable foundation

Place your building on a firm, level, well-drained base with sufficient load-bearing capacity for the product and its intended use (account for the weight of water inside a spa, hot tub or ice bath). Preparing the foundation, and getting professional advice where the site needs it, is the owner's responsibility.

Seal the timber early

Timber is supplied either untreated or pre-treated (optional) and needs initial and regular protecting. Seal all exposed timber as soon as practicable after assembly (latest within six weeks) with a suitable exterior preservative or stain: a primer coat and at least two top coats.

Keep up the care

Re-coat at the intervals your chosen product recommends, before the finish starts to fail. Keep the base dry, drained and ventilated, and take reasonable steps against termites for your area. For a spa, keep the water balanced and the cover on when it is not in use.

Support you can rely on

Our team is here before, during and after your build to answer your product questions, to provide assembly guidance and help choosing the right model.

This warranty is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Read our full Warranty policy

European Made

Crafted in Europe from slow-grown timber

Every Nordic Spa building is made in Europe from sustainably slow-grown Scandinavian timber, with quality European windows, doors and fittings throughout, and a chemical-free build. Thirty years of combined experience go into every product, so what arrives in your yard is made to last decades, not seasons.

Your Space

More from your backyard, for years

A Nordic Spa building turns unused yard into a space you actually live in, whether that is somewhere to unwind, work, grow, store or gather. Built from dense European timber and finished for the weather, it stands up to the Australian outdoors and keeps earning its place season after season.

Factory Direct

Bought direct, backed by real specialists

We buy factory-direct and cut out the middle-man, so more of your money goes into the build instead of a chain of resellers. Before you order, a specialist helps you choose and size it correctly. We then ship Australia-wide to a freight depot near you, with our unmatched warranty on materials and craftsmanship behind every product.
