Seneca 6 Person Barrel Sauna

A 6-seat cedar barrel at $6,191, the cheapest six-seater in the Almost Heaven lineup and about 22 percent under the barrel median per seat.

At $1,032 per seat, Seneca sits well under the barrel median of $1,326. Almost Heaven's other six-seaters cost more: the Princeton and Huntington list at $6,252 and the Shenandoah at $7,455. Among the 12 six-seat barrels only one is cheaper, the Redwood Outdoors Barrel 6 at $5,299. Finnish Sauna Builders is the one store we list.

The 8 kW heater is the usual rating for six seats, and at 82 inches long it is much shorter than the 119-inch Shenandoah, so it fits a normal backyard. It has no porch. Households of five or six who want cedar without paying for a canopy should start here. Almost Heaven states a Limited Lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects; the Harvia heater has its own, 1 year on the elements and 5 on other parts. No weight is listed.
