Barrel sauna design has several advantages, of course, you can set it outside due to the thick, solid stave timbers, they're soft Woods so they're great insulators, the water can roll off the sauna, it holds up with heavy snow loads. The design of the barrel sauna allows the heat to rise in the sauna, but then because the edges are not square, but round, the heat tends to push back down into the sauna, allowing the sauna and heat faster and also bringing heat lower into the sauna.
So, there are many advantages to the barrel sauna. From a construction standpoint, all of the staves have a ball and socket profile so they nest together nicely. The glass is all tempered, the cradle supports are synthetic, creating a barrier between the ground and the wood, allowing you to place the sauna directly on the bare earth if that's what you choose to do. Also, all of the stainless steel, whether it's the bands, the brackets, the hinges, or the fasteners are all stainless steel, so it's designed for outdoor use, you can use it indoors as well.
