Traditional Barrel Design for Faster Heat-Up
The curved barrel shape promotes natural air circulation, allowing heat to rise and distribute evenly throughout the cabin. This results in quicker warm-up times and a more comfortable sauna environment from head to toe.
This larger model still includes a front porch with bench seating — ideal for cooling down between rounds and making the overall experience feel more “spa at home”.
Indoor bench length: 1760mm x 2 (Heater encasement 400mm deep)
Solid Spruce Wood Construction for Outdoor Use
Crafted from high-quality spruce wood, the KOVE Barrel Sauna offers excellent insulation, durability, and stability for outdoor environments. Spruce is widely used in traditional sauna construction thanks to its heat retention, structural strength, and clean natural aesthetic.
- 8mm tempered safety glass door for strength, insulation, and visibility
- Black asphalt shingle roof designed to protect against the elements
- Freestanding outdoor construction suitable for year-round UK use
Natural variations in wood grain and colour are normal and part of the sauna’s character.
Powerful 6kW Electric Sauna Heating
The KOVE 5–6 Person Barrel Sauna is supplied with a 6kW KOVE professional-grade electric sauna heater as standard, delivering strong, stable heat output suited to the larger cabin size.

Wood Treatment & Finishing
The exterior of the KOVE Barrel Sauna is supplied untreated, allowing you full control over the final appearance.
We recommend applying a suitable exterior wood oil on installation (exterior only). Many customers choose Danish oil, which darkens the timber and deepens its tone over time.
Other oils, stains, or finishes can be used depending on preference — some customers even paint their sauna.
