The Weekender Grande gives you the ultimate sauna experience. This model gives you a 6' 3'' (length) sauna room, instead of 5' 6'' (length) as is The Weekender, and it adds a 3' changing room with hooks and shelving. The changing room will also help retain heat in your sauna as the door does not open directly to the outside. The changing room allows you to hang towels and robes and provides shelving for water, phones, and other items as you enjoy your time in the sauna. Heater options include electric or woodfired stove. Choose from a Panoramic Window, Multi-Level seating, or both! You can also choose to protect your sauna with our custom matte black metal roof. Each barrel has two adjustable vents for optimal air flow. Keep in mind, all our saunas are delivered to your location fully built and placed at your desired location by a member of our team.

  • Built-in 3' changing room with hooks + shelving
  • Longer sauna room (6'3") for a roomier session
  • Improved heat retention (door doesn’t open directly outside)
  • Premium Western Red Cedar (USA-sourced)
  • Premium heater options (electric Wi-Fi + wood-fired availability)
  • Delivered fully assembled + placed (access permitting)

A built-in changing room turns your sauna into a complete backyard ritual—more comfort, less heat loss, and a better place to keep your essentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grande adds a changing room and a longer sauna room; Weekender is the best overall “sweet spot” size.

Woodland barrel saunas are built from Western Red Cedar. Western Red Cedar is widely preferred for sauna builds because it’s naturally aromatic and resistant to rot and moisture—two qualities that matter for long-term outdoor use. When comparing sauna brands, wood species is one of the biggest indicators of durability and overall sauna “feel.”

Most customers see 160–200°F in typical use. With a properly sized heater, enough preheat time, and favorable conditions, it’s common to reach ~190–215°F.

What affects max temperature?

  • Heater type and size
  • Outdoor temperature and wind
  • Preheat time
  • How often the door is opened

Example: In warm weather (e.g., 85°F outside), a sauna may reach ~215°F. In extreme cold (e.g., -10°F), the same setup may top out closer to ~200°F.

It can be either. For a dry sauna session, run the heater normally. For a wetter/steamier session, pour small amounts of water over the sauna stones (only as allowed by the heater manufacturer’s instructions). In general, more stone mass produces a stronger steam experience and can help maintain a more consistent feel during the session.

Traditional saunas heat the air, while infrared saunas use light to directly heat the body. A traditional sauna will provide a more intense sauna experience including the use of steam. Infrared saunas my be more comfortable for some individuals due to lower temperatures and gentler heat.

Adding a shingle, metal, or canvas roof is a great idea as it protects your sauna from the elements. This will also increase R-Value, or help retain heat in your sauna.

However, your sauna will be fine without a roof as the Western Red Cedar is a superior species when it comes to Water and Moisture.

Heat-up time depends on starting conditions, but a common benchmark is ~20–30 minutes to reach 150°F, which is a comfortable starting temperature for most sessions. Colder outdoor temperatures and wind can extend preheat time.
