Almost Heaven Charleston 6'x8' DIY Barrel Sauna Kit With 2' Porch
Note: Due to the size of the Charleston, specialized shipping is required. Please anticipate this shipping anywhere from 3-6 weeks from the date of order.

This provides more space to cool off after the sauna or store water, towels, clothes, or even plants! The six feet of interior space is heated by a Harvia 6kW electric heater. Properly installed, the heater included in your sauna kit should consistently achieve temperatures of 175-185F in 45-60 minutes, or you can delay the start time up to eight hours. Relaxation is only a few steps away with the Charleston barrel sauna!

Care & Maintenance
Traditional saunas require very little upkeep. Simply wipe down the interior after each use and check for any dust or debris that you may have tracked in.
Shipping & Assembly
The Charleston will ship via an LTL truck and will arrive curbside on a single pallet.
Some basic handyman skills are helpful when assembling the sauna. The only additional equipment needed is a cordless drill. Two people can generally do the assembly in 6 hours or less. It is recommended that you review the assembly manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the process.
Two Ways to Enjoy Your Sauna
Heater and stones are essential to a traditional sauna experience. With the room at least heated to 160ºF, the traditional sauna can be enjoyed in two ways. The first is called a dry sauna, which lacks any added moisture. The second is called a wet sauna, where you sprinkle water onto the heated stones to create a refreshing burst of steam and added humidity.

Almost Heaven Saunas has been building easy-to-assemble saunas in the Finnish tradition for over 40 years. Based in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia, they remain one of the few sauna manufacturers based in the United States.
They took what started out as a good idea in sauna construction and expanded on it until it became something great, making Almost Heaven one of the oldest and most respected sauna manufacturers in the world today.
The Almost Heaven Barrel Sauna is assembled using a ball-and-socket profile held in place by stainless steel bands and minimal fasteners, the significance of this configuration being that it maintains a reliable seal while allowing the lumber to expand and contract.
The entire unit is mounted on polymer support cradles that loft the undercarriage of the sauna and keep it from coming in direct contact with any moisture on the ground.
Almost Heaven's signature Barrel Saunas have become an incredibly popular option and are some of our best selling saunas.
The Beauty of Almost Heaven Barrel Saunas
The simple grace of this Almost Heaven Watoga barrel-shaped sauna is found in its ball-and-socket profile, held in place by sturdy stainless-steel bands and minimal fasteners.
This arrangement allows the lumber in any Almost Heaven barrel sauna staves to expand and contract to form a tight seal, and the unit sits on polymer support cradles that lift the sauna undercarriage off the ground.
These saunas are an expressive take on Almost Heaven’s signature Classic Barrel Sauna—a design noted for its efficiency, even distribution of heat, and visual appeal.
The beauty of this Almost Heaven barrel sauna is that you can customize it entirely to your liking, assemble it within hours in the comfort of your backyard, and it will stand firm and provide a lovely sauna experience for years to come.
The benefits of a sauna are numerous, from reducing stress and improving circulation to relieving sore muscles and promoting relaxation. With an Almost Heaven sauna, you can enjoy all of these benefits and more, right in the comfort of your own backyard. Plus, its unique design and customizable features make it a stunning addition to any outdoor space.
So why wait? Treat yourself to the ultimate relaxation experience today and order your very own Almost Heaven Watoga barrel sauna!
Got here on time and with all the right pieces. We love this sauna. It would’ve been great to get more accurate instructions for installing the electric heater. But our electrician figured it out. Good communication on the delivery.
Thanks so much for your kind review Rebecca! It was our pleasure working with you.
