About this sauna

This 8 foot Ember barrel gives up part of the interior to a covered 2 foot porch with an exterior bench, leaving a 5 foot 7 inch sauna for 2 to 4 people. It sells from $8,250 at the maker, up to $10,250 with black stain and a panoramic window.

The porch gives a sheltered spot to cool off or hang towels between rounds, which is handy in a rainy Pacific Northwest winter.
