Built to live outside year-round, the Dundalk CT Serenity 4-Person Barrel Sauna (Wood-Burning) reaches and holds traditional sauna temperatures even in cold weather.

Temperature & insulation

Maintenance

Wipe the benches and floor after each session and let the cabin air out with the door cracked. Treat the wood as recommended by the brand (no harsh chemicals), and vacuum or sweep periodically. Outdoor cabins also benefit from a quick check of any seals and gaskets each season.

Warranty terms vary by component and change over time, so we link to the brand's official page for the current coverage. Nordica Sauna support is rated well by long-term owners.
