Barrel, Cube, Indoor or Outdoor: Find Your Fit

Sorting through sauna options can feel harder than it should. Common sticking points include:

  • Listings that mix barrel, cube, indoor, and outdoor models without explaining how each one differs in daily use

  • Spec sheets full of wall thickness and heater output that cannot show how comfortable a bench feels

  • Little guidance on which designs suit a snowy yard and which belong inside the house

  • The risk of choosing a type that does not fit your space, your routine, or your winters

Saunas fall into two broad families: outdoor saunas that stand as their own small building, and indoor saunas built into a room of the house. Barrel and cube saunas are the two main outdoor shapes, with the barrel using curved staves that keep the heated air close and the cube offering upright walls, flat benches, and more headroom. All of them follow the Finnish tradition, where water ladled onto hot stones creates löyly, the soft wave of steam that defines a session.

Soderlund’s Wood Mill lines up barrel, cube, indoor and outdoor models in one showroom, so you can move from one to the next and feel the difference for yourself. Each sauna is sourced from Finland or Estonia and built from thermally modified Nordic spruce or Canadian cedar. If you add installation, the crew hand-carries the materials to the sauna’s final spot and builds it there, with no crane and no torn-up yard.

What types of saunas can I buy?

At Soderlund’s Wood Mill, you can buy four types: barrel saunas, cube saunas, outdoor saunas, and indoor saunas. Barrel and cube are the two main outdoor shapes, while indoor saunas fit inside a basement, spare room, or similar space. The heater, electric or wood-burning, is chosen to suit the model and where the sauna will stand.

Barrel sauna or cube sauna: which suits me?

A barrel sauna suits buyers who want the classic round look, since its curved shape heats less air and lets snow slide away. A cube sauna suits people who prefer upright walls, flat benches, and more headroom, which makes stretching out easier. Sitting in both at the showroom is the quickest way to know which shape feels right to you.

Indoor or outdoor sauna: how do I decide?

Start with where you want to sauna and how you want to get there. An indoor sauna keeps every session a few steps from the shower, but the room needs a suitable electrical supply, ventilation, and moisture planning. An outdoor sauna becomes its own retreat in the yard and needs a level, well-drained spot, plus a clear route for carrying materials in if the crew installs it.

Our Guide to Choosing Between Sauna Types

Here is how the four types compare, in plain terms, from our time on the showroom floor.

Pros and Cons of Each Sauna Type

Sauna typeProsCons
BarrelRound shape heats less air; classic look; sheds snowCurved walls reduce headroom toward the edges
CubeUpright walls and flat benches; generous headroom; clean modern linesMore interior air to heat than a barrel of similar footprint
OutdoorA separate retreat that frees up space indoorsNeeds a prepared site and a short walk outside in winter
IndoorSteps from the shower all year; no snow to clearNeeds suitable power, ventilation and moisture planning inside the home

What to Look for When Buying a Sauna

  • Wood you have seen and touched. We carry saunas in thermally modified Nordic spruce and Canadian cedar, and each looks, smells, and ages differently.

  • A heater matched to the room you choose. Our Sauna Heaters page covers sizing in detail.

  • A bench layout that suits how you like to sit or lie down. We point out the upper and lower tiers on our display models so you can try both heights before you choose.

  • Headroom and bench depth that work for the tallest person in the household. We suggest the tallest bather sits in a model before you decide.

  • A realistic plan for power. We talk through the supply an electric heater needs at the first conversation, and the wiring is a job for a licensed electrician.

  • A build designed for snow load, ice, and freeze-thaw if the sauna will live outside. Our outdoor models are designed for Wisconsin and Minnesota winters.

Winter, Homes and Saunas in Polk County

Any sauna installed in Polk County has to be engineered for snow and frost, planned from the ground up for the weight of snow and the grip of frozen ground. The reason is the climate: snowfall comes regularly, and the cold persists for sustained periods rather than easing after a day or two. In January, the average low is well under 10°F.

That long, cold season is also what draws so many households here toward a sauna of their own in the first place. It is the single biggest factor behind home sauna demand across this part of northwestern Wisconsin.

Single-family homes and rural properties make up the bulk of the housing in Polk County. Within that mix, older farmhouses form a significant share of the county’s homes, and newer cabin-style builds account for another notable part. Plenty of these homes, old and new alike, stand on larger lots across the county.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The saunas on display are built from thermally modified Nordic spruce or Canadian cedar, depending on the model. Each wood has its own color, grain and scent, which is easiest to judge in person, so the showroom lets you compare them side by side before you choose.

  • The saunas sold at Soderlund’s Wood Mill are sourced from Finland and Estonia, two countries with deep sauna traditions. The heaters come from the same region: Harvia from Finland and HUUM from Estonia, each offered in electric and wood-burning versions.

  • It depends on the model. The range runs from compact saunas for a couple up to family-size models with room for a group, and the bench layout makes a difference as well. The easiest way to judge is to sit in a few in the showroom.

  • Barrel and cube saunas both come in compact sizes, so the choice comes down to shape and access. A cube’s upright walls make full use of a tight footprint, while a barrel’s round profile can tuck into an open corner. If outdoor space is limited, an indoor sauna is another option worth comparing.

  • Yes. Easy financing comes through Wells Fargo Retail Services, with 0% for 12 months available on sauna purchases. Ask about it while you compare models in the showroom, or call (651) 246-4085 before your visit to talk it through.
