{"product_id":"saunalife-model-r3-rain-series-outdoor-barrel-shower","title":"SaunaLife Model R3 Rain Series Outdoor Barrel Shower | Thermo-Spruce Enclosure","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe R3 is an outdoor shower you can actually close the door on. A full Thermo-Spruce barrel, 49.6 inches across inside and 83 inches tall, with a rain head, a handheld wand, hot and cold plumbing and a drainage floor already built in. Nothing to specify, nothing sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn enclosure, not a screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost outdoor showers are a post or a panel — fine for rinsing off, awkward for anything more. The R3 encloses you. The 35.4-inch opening gives you a real doorway, and the 69.5-inch opening height and 83-inch interior mean you're standing in a room rather than behind a board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat changes where it can go. A barrel shower works at the front of a cottage, at the end of a dock, or in a garden with neighbours — places a screen simply doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThermo-Spruce rather than cedar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaunaLife build the R3 from 1.65-inch full-length Nordic Spruce staves, thermally treated rather than chemically treated. SaunaLife rate the material at up to twice the service life of cedar outdoors, with better dimensional stability and thermal resistance — it's the same wood they build barrel saunas from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermal treatment also gives it the golden colour and tight-knot grain, which is why it reads as a finished object rather than a utility fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe plumbing is already solved\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 7-inch chrome rain head overhead and a tethered handheld below, both running hot and cold. The floor is pitched into drainage channels beneath a removable mat, so water leaves rather than pooling. A Thermo-Spruce plumbing box conceals the exterior pipework, and two matching robe hooks are already on the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the difference between the R3 and a pillar shower: you aren't choosing hardware, running a hose, or deciding what to do about drainage. It arrives solved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to stay put\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 463 pounds with stainless steel foundation anchors and AISI 430 barrel bands, the R3 is a structure rather than a garden accessory. SaunaLife engineer it for a one-day, two-person DIY install — but it wants a considered spot, level ground and a plan for the water supply before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairs with the rest of the ritual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn enclosed shower is what makes an outdoor sauna practical through more of the year — somewhere to change and warm up that isn't a walk back to the house. If a sauna or cold plunge is in the plan, tell your specialist and we'll quote the whole setup as one delivered number rather than three separate freight charges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Sauna Republic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're an authorized SaunaLife dealer.
