Care & Maintenance

To best preserve and enhance your investment, be sure to wipe down the interior and vacuum as needed. Maintenance products, such as the heater and sauna cleaners and exterior sauna stains are additional recommendations on how to best preserve your sauna. 

On an annual basis, it is recommended you hand vacuum the heater cavity, clean or replace heater stones as needed, and use a low-pressure wash on the exterior of the sauna. For barrel saunas, check the exterior for loose parts. Find additional information on how to best care for and maintain your sauna here.

FAQs

Does this unit ship via flatbed carrier?

Yes, it does. The Princeton is 8’ long and cannot be offloaded with a liftgate. As such, it requires specialized shipping. Please refer to our flatbed policy for more information on this.

Feel the Heat in a Classic Barrel Sauna

We first started making our signature Barrel Sauna nearly 40 years ago, and it’s become a popular option on our product line ever since. The 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.

Build the Princeton

The simple grace of a 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 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. The Classic Barrel Sauna is an expressive take on our Classic Barrel Sauna – a design noted for its efficiency, even distribution of heat, and visual appeal. By taking the front round section and setting it back into the sauna, we’ve created a visually appealing and useful outside sitting area – a place to hold towels or drinks or to serve as a relaxing place to cool off between sauna rounds.

Great product, relatively easy installation, super happy with it

First of all, installation took a full weekend with a few friends stopping by to help my wife and I out. The instructions were pretty good, but could have been way more explicit in certain areas, specifically for the heater mount installation. That said, the AlmostHeaven customer service is top notch so anytime we called we got the help we needed.

Now that the sauna is complete, we use it every day or so and it's amazing. Easily gets to the desired heat level. Insulates / retains heat quite well. The size of this product is awesome, fits 6 people no problem. Our friends are all impressed with it and I feel it's reasonably priced. My one feedback would be to have more flexibility on the interior light hue, as I would have loved to pick more of a warm orange/red hue option.

Spectacular Blend of Form and Function

The Princeton 6 Person Barrel Sauna exceeded our expectations in every way. The installation, though time-consuming, was made easy with clear instructions. The sauna's stunning design, both inside and out, adds a touch of elegance to our outdoor space. Once assembled, the functionality is exceptional—the heating element works efficiently, and the barrel shape ensures even heat distribution. It's a beautiful and high-performance addition to our home that we highly recommend.
