{"product_id":"barrel-sauna-250","title":"Barrel Sauna 250: 4 Person Outdoor Sauna with Balcony","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single chamber barrel sauna, 205cm in diameter and 250cm long, with a covered balcony and bench seating at the front. Four people seated, or two lying down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it is built without insulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide walls are 42mm solid logs; the front and back walls are 28mm tongue and groove. There is no insulation behind either, and that is the design rather than an economy. The mass of the timber is the insulation, which is how a traditional barrel works: it takes longer to bring up than an insulated cabin and it sheds heat faster once the fire is out. What you get in return is a cabin that behaves like a sauna rather than like a heated room, and a shape with no corners for heat to sit in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door opening measures 169 x 59cm. The door itself is timber as standard, and a tempered glass door is available at no extra cost if you ask when you order. Choose a full glass front and the glass door comes with it, because the door is part of that wall. The cabin weighs 650kg; add the heater, the stones and four adults and the loaded figure is close to a tonne, which is the number to design the base around rather than the cabin weight on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThermo treated Scandinavian spruce only.\u003c\/strong\u003e This cabin is also built in untreated spruce and we do not offer it. Thermo treatment is kiln modification with heat and steam rather than chemicals; it raises dimensional stability and resistance to rot, which is what a timber cabin standing in a British garden through a wet January is actually up against. It weathers to silver grey under UV, a surface change rather than a structural one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe heater, and the only decision that matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree heaters, all Harvia, all supplied with split face stones. What separates them is not heat output. It is which trade you would rather deal with, and how much stone you want holding the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric. Fitted as standard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated for 7 to 12 cubic metres, 20kg of stones, controls built into the heater. It needs a dedicated circuit installed and certified by an electrician: 8kW at 230V is about 35 amps, nowhere near a 13A plug, and a room containing a sauna heater is a special location under Approved Document P, so the work is notifiable in England. That visit is a separate cost. We would rather tell you here than after you have ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvia M3, wood burning.\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5kW, rated for 6 to 13 cubic metres, 30kg stone capacity. No supply, no electrician, no circuit, and no running cost tied to a unit rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvia Legend 150, wood burning.\u003c\/strong\u003e 16kW, same room rating, and 120kg of stone against the M3's 30kg. That is the whole argument for the Legend and it is checkable on Harvia's own data sheets: four times the stone mass holds four times the heat, so the steam is softer, it lasts longer between loads, and it recovers faster after a ladle of water. If you intend to use it properly and often, that is where the extra goes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tarnfell","offers":[{"title":"Harvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric \/ None","offer_id":55104279019862,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-VEGA-G0-P1","price":6944.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric \/ Half back wall","offer_id":55104279085398,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-VEGA-GHB-P1","price":7544.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric \/ Full back wall","offer_id":55104279150934,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-VEGA-GFB-P1","price":8044.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia M3, wood burning \/ None","offer_id":55104279249238,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-M3-G0-P1","price":7594.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia M3, wood burning \/ Half back wall","offer_id":55104279314774,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-M3-GHB-P1","price":8194.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia M3, wood burning \/ Full back wall","offer_id":55104280822102,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-M3-GFB-P1","price":8694.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Legend 150, wood burning \/ None","offer_id":55104280920406,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-LEG-G0-P1","price":8194.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Legend 150, wood burning \/ Half back wall","offer_id":55104280985942,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-LEG-GHB-P1","price":8794.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Legend 150, wood burning \/ Full back wall","offer_id":55104281051478,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-LEG-GFB-P1","price":9294.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric \/ Full front wall","offer_id":55105216905558,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-VEGA-GFF-P1","price":8344.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric \/ Half back wall and full front wall","offer_id":55105216971094,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-VEGA-GHBFF-P1","price":8944.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Vega BC80, 8kW electric \/ Full back wall and full front wall","offer_id":55105217036630,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-VEGA-GFBFF-P1","price":9444.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia M3, wood burning \/ Full front wall","offer_id":55105217102166,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-M3-GFF-P1","price":8994.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia M3, wood burning \/ Half back wall and full front wall","offer_id":55105218052438,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-M3-GHBFF-P1","price":9594.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia M3, wood burning \/ Full back wall and full front wall","offer_id":55105218117974,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-M3-GFBFF-P1","price":10094.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Legend 150, wood burning \/ Full front wall","offer_id":55105218183510,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-LEG-GFF-P1","price":9594.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Legend 150, wood burning \/ Half back wall and full front wall","offer_id":55105218249046,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-LEG-GHBFF-P1","price":10194.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvia Legend 150, wood burning \/ Full back wall and full front wall","offer_id":55105218314582,"sku":"GS-BAR-250-T-LEG-GFBFF-P1","price":10694.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/9720\/0982\/files\/gs-glass-door-sauna-barrel-250-tarnfell1.webp?v=1787838644","url":"https:\/\/tarnfell.com\/products\/barrel-sauna-250","provider":"Tarnfell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
