Barrel Sauna
Almost Heaven Princeton 6-Person Barrel Sauna
The Almost Heaven Princeton is a spacious choice if you want room to stretch out fully or share with a small group. While it is rated for six people, it is much more comfortable for four adults sitting or two people lying down. Keep in mind that the 8kW heater requires a dedicated 240V, 40-amp hardwired electrical setup, so budget for an electrician.
SaunaGrade Buyer's Analysis
The Princeton is built with 1-3/8-inch thick solid lumber profiles using a ball-and-socket design, providing solid structural integrity and decent insulation for outdoor use. You can choose from rustic fir, rustic cedar, or clear cedar depending on your preference for wood grain, knots, and natural scent. The thick staves are held together by stainless steel bands, hinges, and fasteners designed to withstand outdoor weather fluctuations without rusting prematurely.
At eight feet long, this barrel design offers an exceptionally roomy interior compared to shorter models. The included 8kW electric heater is powerful enough to bring the room up to operating temperatures quickly, though you will need a professional electrician to handle the 240V, 40-amp hardwired installation. A separate 110V plug-in line powers the interior LED lighting.
Assembly is designed as a DIY kit that typically takes two people around six hours with a cordless drill. Because the staves ship on a single pallet via LTL freight, clear off a flat, level outdoor or indoor pad before delivery. Maintenance is minimal, requiring only basic wipe-downs of the benches and floors to keep the wood clean over years of regular use.
