difficulty-green-easy.png

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Pinnacle 4-person barrel sauna is a traditional steam barrel sauna. The barrel design is practical, sturdy, stylish, and allows for maximum heat circulation.

The Pinnacle is constructed using rustic cedar, rustic fir, or clear cedar. The lumber is thick and insulating, making it the perfect sauna for outdoor (or indoor) use.

The Pinnacle 4-person barrel sauna is designed using a ball-and-socket profile held in place by stainless steel bands.

Along with all of our barrel saunas, the Pinnacle includes a standard LED light bar to give your sauna a soft accented glow.

cradles are crafted with superior skill. The sauna also features thick tempered glass and stainless steel hardware and fasteners because the materials we select must, and do, meet our highest standards.

SHENANDOAH 8-PERSON BARREL SAUNA

difficulty-yellow.png

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Shenandoah is the largest and most deluxe of our entire family of barrel saunas.  A changing room adjoins the sauna room, which is large enough to seat up to 8 persons, providing convenience and comfort to this unique barrel sauna. The Shenandoah features custom slatted benches, removable flat flooring sections, and can be outfitted with an electric or wood-burning sauna stove. The Shenandoah delivers unmatched size, beauty, and function to the outdoor sauna experience.

SAUNA DESIGN

The extra-large diameter provides an amazing amount of added space to the Shenandoah sauna. In addition to the size, this barrel sauna has a changing room at the front. This added luxury allows you to enjoy the benefits of a changing room and step right into your sauna, mere feet away. Inside the sauna, the larger diameter allows for wider benches as well as added space between the benches. The benches are constructed of clear cedar timbers turned on edge, providing superior strength as well as a sleek design. A full-length clear cedar backrest provides added comfort when relaxing in the sauna, and the addition of a spacious changing room, complete with convenient bench, enhances the elegance and function of this ultra-deluxe barrel sauna.

MATERIALS

The Shenandoah is constructed from select rustic red cedar or clear red cedar, beautifully accenting any backyard setting, creating a focal point for healthful entertainment. The benches and back rests are made from clear red cedar, adding a beautiful accent to the interior of the sauna. Stainless steel hinges, banding straps and fasteners are standard, and the molded support cradles add an attractive moisture barrier between the ground and the cedar.

PERFORMANCE

Because of its cylindrical shape, the Shenandoah, as with all Almost Heaven barrel saunas, provides exceptional heat distribution within the sauna room. Saunas are always cooler at the floor, but the shape of a barrel sauna allows the heat that rises from the heater to be pushed downward. Furthermore, a barrel sauna minimizes unused air space that must be heated in traditional square saunas. The size of the Shenandoah allows your choice of a variety of heaters, both in electric and wood-burning, so you can tailor your deluxe Shenandoah sauna to your personal tastes. Browse our various sauna bucket and ladle options and other sauna accessories for a more traditional sauna experience! 

ATMOSPHERE

The addition of a changing room is an upscale amenity that will add function and convenience to your sauna.  No need to change before coming into the sauna; simply head to the sauna, change, and step into the sauna room.  The added space provided by the large diameter of the Shenandoah contributes to a spacious feeling within the sauna with plenty of room to stretch out and relax as you choose.
