Cedar Cove 2-Person Barrel Sauna

A compact two-person outdoor barrel sauna in warm Western red cedar. Shorter than the full barrel line, full-glass front, dark cradle stands. The smallest practical outdoor barrel — for a couple, a small yard, or a deck that wouldn't host a five-person barrel.

Key Features

• Warm Western red cedar staves: Naturally rot- and insect-resistant; the most aromatic of the cedar species, ages to a soft silver.
• Compact 2-person barrel form: Shorter than the 5-person barrel, sized for a small deck or yard footprint.
• 4.5kW rock heater: Reaches operating temperature in about 30 minutes — fast enough for a daily evening session.
• Full glass front + glass door: The short barrel reads bright with a wide glass facade for a 2-person cabin.
• Facing slatted-cedar benches: Comfortable for two seated along the inside curve of the barrel.
• Black steel bands + dark cradles: Powder-coated for outdoor durability; reads contemporary against the cedar.
• Hardwired 240V install: Standard barrel-sauna electrical for the heater.

Why You'll Love It

Most outdoor barrels are sized for groups, which makes them oversized for couples or solo users with a small yard. The Cedar Cove is the working compromise: a real barrel with a real heater, sized down enough to fit a townhouse patio or a deck without taking it over.

Cedar (vs. the spruce most barrels use) ages differently in a yard — softer, more aromatic during use, and naturally more rot-resistant. Across a few years, the cedar weathers to a silver patina that reads as deliberately Pacific Northwest, not aged-spruce default.
