KOVE Outdoor Barrel Sauna – 5–6 Person Garden Sauna with 6kW Electric Heater

Premium Outdoor Sauna for Home & Professional Wellness

Create a premium outdoor wellness space with the KOVE Barrel Sauna, a spacious 5–6 person outdoor sauna designed for efficient heating, comfort, and year-round use in UK gardens, patios, and professional wellness environments.

With its classic rounded barrel design, this sauna heats faster and circulates air more evenly than traditional square saunas — delivering a consistent, authentic sauna experience while remaining energy efficient. Whether you’re using it for family sessions, post-training recovery, or contrast therapy alongside a cold plunge, the KOVE Barrel Sauna brings professional-grade sauna performance into everyday life.

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.

• 6kW heat output, optimised for large barrel saunas
• Even temperature distribution throughout the cabin
• Typical heat-up time of approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on ambient temperature

For customers who prefer a premium brand upgrade, the sauna can also be specified with a 6kW Harvia electric sauna heater for £199. You can select this option from the dropdown below the add to cart.

Electrical requirements: fixed-wired connection required. No standard plug supplied. Heater installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK regulations (Part P / BS 7671).

Outdoor Use & Maintenance

• Weather-resistant roofing protects against rain and seasonal conditions

Natural weathering over time is normal and does not affect performance.

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.
