{"product_id":"dundalk-leisurecraft-ct-barrel-sauna","title":"Dundalk Leisurecraft CT Barrel Sauna","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDundalk Leisurecraft CT Barrel Sauna\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel is the shape most people picture when they picture a sauna, and Dundalk has been building them in rural Ontario since 2004. The round profile isn't styling. It puts the ceiling closer to the benches than a square room does, so heat gathers where you sit instead of pooling above your head. Less air to heat means a shorter warm-up and a more even temperature bench to bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree sizes, all in Eastern White Cedar, all taking wood or electric heat. \u003cstrong\u003eHarmony\u003c\/strong\u003e seats four in a compact 84-inch barrel. \u003cstrong\u003eSerenity\u003c\/strong\u003e seats four to six and adds an 18-inch covered front porch. \u003cstrong\u003eTranquility\u003c\/strong\u003e seats six with the longest interior in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEastern White Cedar, built for outdoors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery barrel is Grade-A Eastern White Cedar — lighter in colour than western red, with tighter knots and a cleaner grain. Cedar resists rot, decay and insects naturally, which is what lets these saunas live outside through a Canadian winter without a shelter over them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe staves are solid single-stave bevels with no tenon joints along their length. No joint means no seam to open up as the wood moves through the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBands that work with the wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCedar takes on moisture in humid weather and gives it up in dry weather. A barrel sauna is designed around that rather than fighting it — the staves expand into \u003cstrong\u003eT6061 marine-grade aluminum bands\u003c\/strong\u003e, tightening the barrel as they swell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bands are adjustable. Tighten them once after assembly, usually within the first month, then check occasionally with a ¾-inch wrench. That is the entire maintenance story on the structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBenches you can lie down on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benches are \u003cstrong\u003e20 inches wide\u003c\/strong\u003e and 19 inches high, running parallel along both side walls with a flat cedar floor between them. Twenty inches is the difference between sitting upright and stretching out properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerenity and Tranquility give you 79 inches of interior height and 83 inches of width. Harmony is a genuinely smaller barrel at 76 inches wide and 72.5 inches high inside — worth knowing before you choose, because it is not simply a shorter version of the other two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHalfmoon panorama windows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery barrel includes a bronze tempered glass door and window as standard. The halfmoon option adds two vertical half-moon windows to the front and one horizontal half-moon to the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt changes the room. Without it you are in a warm wooden space. With it, the far end of the barrel becomes a window. If the sauna is going somewhere with a view, this is the option to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWood or electric\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three sizes accept either. Wood-fired means no electrical work, no permit and no trench across the garden — which matters when the sauna is going somewhere remote. Electric means you press a button and walk away, which suits a sauna near the house used on weeknights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended electric heater size is \u003cstrong\u003e6 kW for Harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e7.5 kW for Serenity and Tranquility\u003c\/strong\u003e. Electric installations require 240 V and a 30–50 amp circuit depending on the heater, and final hookup must be done by a certified electrician — this is a warranty condition, not a suggestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe quote the heater, chimney, heat shielding and stones as one package sized to the cabin, so nothing arrives missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoundation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel needs a level base with a slight slope to the rear for drainage. A concrete pad, wood deck, patio stone or crushed stone all work. Harmony needs a 6.5 by 6.5 foot footprint; Serenity and Tranquility need more depth. Get the base right before delivery — it is far easier than correcting it afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarmony — Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeats 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior — 84\" wide × 84\" high × 79\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior — 76\" wide × 72.5\" high × 71\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootprint — 6.5' × 6.5'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended electric heater — 6 kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSerenity — Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeats 4–6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior — 86.25\" wide × 86.25\" high × 94.5\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior — 83\" wide × 79\" high × 71\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" covered front porch with parallel seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended electric heater — 7.5 kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTranquility — Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeats 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior — 86.25\" wide × 86.25\" high × 118\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior — 83\" wide × 79\" high × 94.75\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended electric heater — 7.5 kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShared Across All Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade-A Eastern White Cedar, single stave bevels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT6061 marine-grade aluminum bands, made in Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20\" wide × 19\" high cedar benches, both side walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze tempered single-pane 5 mm glass door and window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof options — black powder-coated metal, black asphalt shingle, or standard cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e240 V, 30–50 amp for electric configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year limited warranty on the sauna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-cut Eastern White Cedar staves and end walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid cedar cradles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT6061 aluminum bands and tightening hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze tempered glass door and window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20\" cedar benches and flat cedar floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir inlet and outlet vents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel assembly hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRequired for Operation — Sold Separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater — wood-burning or electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood configurations — chimney kit, back wall heat shield, floor plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric configurations — dedicated 240 V circuit installed by a licensed electrician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSauna stones sized to the heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe quote the complete heating package alongside the sauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Additions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof kit — metal or asphalt shingle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLivos exterior stain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeldos interior sauna oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBucket and ladle, thermometer, headrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety and Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Level base with a slight rear slope for drainage.
