Thermo Wood Barrel Sauna - Micro (2 Person) Barrel Sauna | Finnmark Sauna

Premium Nordic Thermowood

Every 2 person outdoor barrel sauna in our range starts with Nordic thermowood – a thermally treated spruce that’s specifically engineered for outdoor performance. Through heat and steam alone, the timber is transformed: it becomes more stable, less absorbent, and naturally resistant to decay. That means it won’t warp or swell with the seasons, and it requires far less maintenance over time.

The result is a sauna that feels solid from the first use and continues to perform year after year, even in the shifting conditions of a UK garden.

Heat and Enhance Your Sauna Experience

The right heater can transform your sauna experience. All of our 2-person barrel saunas are available with a range of electric heaters, chosen for their efficiency and reliability in compact spaces. Many models also support wood-fired stoves – ideal if you’re after a more traditional, off-grid feel. However, this isn’t suitable for the smallest barrels due to size constraints.

The smallest details often shape the biggest differences. Choose from long-lasting sauna stones, lighting options. Each one is chosen to bring style and comfort, session after session.

FAQs

How long does it take to heat up a 2 person barrel sauna?

Barrel saunas typically take between 45 to 60 minutes to heat up. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the outdoor temperature, the type of heater used, and the specific installation location.The curved shape of the barrel helps heat circulate quickly, efficiently heating up the space. Electric heaters tend to warm up faster and hold a steady temperature, while wood-fired models take a little longer but offer a slower, more atmospheric heat.

Are these saunas suitable for commercial or Airbnb use?

Yes – a 2 person outdoor barrel sauna is a popular choice for Airbnb hosts and boutique accommodation providers looking to offer a luxurious sauna experience without the large footprint. It’s low maintenance and makes a striking addition to any garden sauna setup.

For larger-scale needs, Finnmark also designs and installs fully bespoke commercial saunas and steam rooms, built to order and delivered to true Finnish standards. From spa developments to multi-user wellness spaces, our expert sauna team can guide you through every step.

How do I control the temperature inside the sauna?

With an electric sauna heater, temperature control is straightforward – most models include either an integrated or wall-mounted controller to adjust heat levels to suit your session. Many modern models also feature Wi-Fi controllers, allowing you to control the heater remotely from your smartphone for added convenience. For wood-fired heaters, control is more hands-on, managed by adjusting the fire and airflow. It’s a slower build-up, but many value the ritual and the softer, more atmospheric heat it provides.

If you’re after more control: remote access, delayed start times, or finer temperature precision, we offer a range of dedicated sauna heater controllers to suit different setups. 

How much maintenance does a 2 person outdoor barrel sauna require?

Although low-maintenance, like any well-crafted timber product, a 2 person outdoor barrel sauna will benefit from regular care. Simple habits make the biggest difference: always use towels or seat covers to protect the benches, and give the interior a quick wipe after each session to manage moisture and residue.

The Nordic thermowood we use is naturally weather-resistant and stable, meaning it won’t demand constant upkeep. That said, a little seasonal attention helps extend its lifespan. For the exterior, we recommend applying a breathable wood treatment or stain once a year – especially if your sauna is exposed to harsh weather or coastal conditions.

Inside, nourishing the wood with sauna paraffin oil every 6 to 12 months helps preserve its natural finish and protects it from drying out over time. With just a few simple routines, your sauna will continue to perform beautifully for years to come.
