Dreaming of your own sauna oasis at home? Our Modified Ayous 140cm Barrel Sauna makes this dream come true with a perfect synergy of style, long-lasting durability and unparalleled comfort. Crafted from premium modified African Ayous wood, this sauna promises a lifelong experience of pure relaxation without the hassle of constant maintenance, while bringing natural beauty to your garden.
Specially designed to fit into any garden setting, this compact barrel sauna comes with essential accessories such as floor grids for both indoor and outdoor use, and an ergonomically designed backrest. The choice of roof finish is left up to you, so you can personalize the look of your sauna.
Modified Ayous thermowood: The power of nature
Our sauna is made of Ayous thermowood, a type of wood that is unique due to its special treatment, which makes it stronger and completely maintenance-free. This process not only improves the durability and stability, but also makes the wood resistant to weather influences. Over time, the wood can naturally turn grey, but retains its strength and can easily be rejuvenated with a simple treatment.
Your personal roof finish
Our Modified Ayous Thermowood barrel sauna comes standard without a roof finish, giving you the freedom to choose a roof finish that perfectly matches your personal taste and the style of your garden. To fully customize your sauna experience, we offer a versatile range of roof finishing options. From the timeless elegance of our classic shingles, which offer a traditional look and provide extra protection from the elements, to our modern and stylish design roof, which not only makes a visual statement but also enhances the durability and functionality of your sauna.
Optimal heat with our sauna heaters
Although our Modified Ayous Thermowood Barrel Sauna comes without a heater as standard, we recommend the Narvi Minex 3.6 kW electric sauna heater for an optimal sauna experience. Designed for ease of use with a 1-phase, 230V connection, this heater has been specifically selected to seamlessly match both the size and aesthetic design of our barrel sauna. The Narvi Minex ensures an even and efficient heat distribution, allowing you to quickly enjoy the soothing warmth. With this heater, you are assured of a reliable, long-lasting heating solution that will take your sauna moments to the next level.
Easy installation: Do it yourself or let us do it
The barrel sauna is delivered as a practical assembly kit, including a clear Dutch manual that guides you step by step through the assembly process. For a smooth and efficient installation, we recommend that the assembly is carried out by two people, which is expected to take a full day, depending on experience and dexterity.
To ensure the stability and durability of the sauna, it is essential that the legs of the sauna are placed on a hard and completely level surface. This not only ensures a safe base but also the optimal functioning of your sauna. Should you prefer professional help, we also offer an on-site installation service for an additional fee. Our experienced team will then take care of the work, so that you can enjoy your new sauna faster and without worries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Happy Timber offers barrel saunas in Thermowood Spruce, modified Ayous and Red Knotty Cedar. Each wood type has its own unique advantages: Thermowood Spruce is thermally treated for extra durability and is moisture resistant; modified Ayous is lightweight, has excellent insulation properties and a smooth surface; Red Knotty Cedar is particularly popular for its natural resistance to rot and insects and provides a beautiful aesthetic finish with a pleasant scent.
Narvi heaters are designed for long-lasting use and efficiency. They are made of high-quality materials that ensure durability and are specifically designed to distribute heat evenly within the limited space of a barrel sauna. This ensures faster heating and a consistent temperature, which contributes to a pleasant sauna experience.
Customers can choose between traditional roof shingles or a modern design roof with EPDM. Roof shingles are robust and offer a classic look at a low price, while EPDM is a seamless and durable solution that provides excellent protection against all kinds of weather conditions.
A designer roof with EPDM offers several advantages, including exceptional durability and weather resistance. EPDM is an elastomeric material that is resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperatures, making it ideal for use in various climates. In addition, EPDM is easy to install and requires little maintenance, which contributes to a longer lifespan of the roof.
Yes, it is possible to purchase a barrel sauna from Happy Timber without a specific roof finish. This offers flexibility for customers who want to integrate the sauna under an existing roof or who want to design a roof solution themselves. This option can also be cost effective and give customers more control over the final appearance of their sauna.
Happy Timber offers extensive customization options for their barrel saunas, thanks to our own production facilities. This includes the choice between different types of windows, such as semi-circular or fully circular windows, and the option to configure a sauna with or without a vestibule. Customers can also indicate specific wishes such as the placement of the door, benches, type of stove, and the color and material of the interior finishes.
The vestibule offers several benefits, including extra space for relaxation before or after sauna use, a place to change, and it provides protection from cold air when entering or leaving the sauna, which helps to improve thermal efficiency . A possible disadvantage is that the vestibule can increase the overall cost and space required for the sauna, as well as the time required for installation.
Both semi-round and fully round windows add aesthetic value to the sauna due to their unique and attractive appearance. They let in natural light, which opens up the interior space and creates a connection with the outdoor environment. This can enrich the sauna experience by allowing users to enjoy the outdoor scenery while relaxing. The difference between the two is mainly aesthetic, with a fully circular window offering a more panoramic view.
Installation time for a barrel sauna varies depending on the complexity of the configuration chosen and whether additional customization options have been added. Standard models can usually be installed within a day, provided all preparations such as the foundation and power supply are arranged in advance. Complex designs or additions such as a vestibule or window can increase installation time.
The types of wood used in Happy Timber barrel saunas have excellent insulation properties. Thermowood Spruce has been thermally treated to improve its insulating ability, while Red Knotty Cedar is a naturally good insulator due to the air pockets within its cellular structure. Modified Ayous retains heat efficiently thanks to its dense structure after modification, contributing to an energy-efficient sauna experience.
Regular maintenance of a barrel sauna includes cleaning interior and exterior surfaces to prevent mold or mildew buildup, checking the wood for signs of wear or damage, and updating the wood treatment (oil or sealer) annually or as recommended from the manufacturer to maintain durability and appearance.
The energy efficiency of Happy Timber barrel saunas is increased by the use of naturally insulating wood types and efficient stove options. The compact shape of the barrel saunas minimizes heat loss, while the quality of construction ensures that no unnecessary energy is lost. The use of an EPDM roof further contributes to energy efficiency through excellent insulation.
Yes, Happy Timber barrel saunas are designed for use in all seasons. The materials and construction techniques used ensure that the saunas remain comfortable and functional in both summer and winter, allowing users to enjoy their sauna all year round, regardless of the outside temperatures.
The cylindrical shape of a barrel sauna not only offers a unique aesthetic appearance, but also has practical advantages. This shape allows for natural air circulation and efficient heat distribution within the sauna, which reduces heating time and promotes an even temperature throughout the room.
The choice between an electric stove and a wood stove depends on personal preference and practical considerations. Electric heaters offer convenience and control with thermostats for consistent temperatures, while wood heaters offer a traditional sauna experience with natural warmth and the distinctive aroma of burning wood, which many users find very relaxing.
