Almost Heaven Grandview 7'x8' DIY Barrel Sauna With 1' Porch

The Grandview is made for sauna parties. Measuring 7’x8’, it is a full foot wider than the standard barrel sauna and can fit up to six people. It also has one foot of space allotted to exterior benches, which can hold people, water, towels, and even logs if you opt to upgrade to a wood-burning heater! The sauna comes standard with the Harvia KIP80B 8 kW electric heater, which gets the space to 180ºF and beyond. The sauna can start heating right away, or you can delay the start time by up to eight hours. Stretch out solo in all the extra space or invite friends or the whole family to join; the choice is yours!

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 Grandview will ship via a flatbed truck.

Mid-level handyman and assembly skills are recommended for this sauna. Minimal sawing or modifying certain components may be necessary during the assembly process. Two people can generally do the assembly in 6-8 hours. It is recommended that you review the installation 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.
