Smartmak Custom 2-8 Person Barrel Sauna

The Smartmak Custom Barrel Sauna is built around flexibility, offering a range of imported timbers like spruce, Canadian hemlock, and Canadian red cedar. The solid wood panels measure a respectable 2.4 inches thick, using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery to help maintain structural integrity against outdoor weather conditions. Because this is a custom-configured unit, your heating speed and power requirements will depend heavily on whether you choose a wood-burning stove or an electric model from Harvia or Toule ranging from 4.5kW to 9kW. Electric setups will typically require a dedicated 220V/240V line installed by a professional electrician.

Assembly is treated as a DIY project with optional on-site installation services available, so plan for a few helpers if you are tackling the build yourself. The barrel shape inherently promotes efficient air circulation compared to box rooms, pushing rising heat back down toward the benches. Capacities scale widely from smaller two-person footprints up to eight-person configurations depending on how you order it, making it adaptable for solo sessions or hosting small groups.
