Golden Designs St. Moritz Barrel Sauna

This sauna requires a dedicated 240V, 30-amp circuit to power the 6.0 kW heater. You will need a licensed electrician to handle the installation to ensure it meets local building and safety codes.

Yes, the St. Moritz is specifically designed for outdoor installation. The barrel shape naturally sheds water, and the Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, making it an excellent choice for backyard environments.

Thanks to the efficient barrel design, which reduces the amount of air that needs to be heated compared to a square room, the sauna typically reaches its maximum operating temperature of 190°F in about 45 to 60 minutes.

Yes, the package includes the 6.0 kW electric stove, stones, and a set of essential sauna accessories. You will only need to provide the electrical wiring and the foundation or level surface for it to sit on.

Yes, the unit is compatible with an optional 8.0 kW heater upgrade if you prefer faster heat-up times or live in a particularly cold climate. Be aware that upgrading the heater may require adjustments to your electrical circuit requirements.

Western Red Cedar is naturally durable, but for outdoor use, we recommend applying a high-quality exterior wood sealer or stain to the outside of the barrel every year or two to maintain its color and protect it from UV damage. The interior should remain untreated to allow the wood to breathe and release its natural aroma.
