How much space does a 2 person sauna need?
The Almost Heaven Salem is a 6 foot diameter barrel that is 4 feet long. Allow a level pad a little larger than the footprint, clear space in front of the door, and a route for the electrical run.
Should you buy a 4 person instead?
Often yes. The 4 person Watoga was $5,184, just $699 more than the 2 person Salem, and the Pinnacle was $5,303. The extra length lets one person lie down. The cost is a slightly longer warm-up and 2 more feet of yard.
Small shapes compared
- Barrel. Lowest price and the least air to heat.
- Canopy barrel. Adds a covered porch for cooling off. The Vienna was $699 more than the Salem.
- Mini cube. Flat walls and a modern look. The Blackwater Mini-Cube was $5,878 on sale.
Power for a small sauna
Small barrels still use a 240V electric heater in the 4.5 to 6 kW range. A 4.5 kW heater costs at most $1.02 for a 75 minute run at the U.S. average rate.

Common questions
What is the smallest outdoor sauna?
Among the models we track, the 1 to 2 person Blackwater Mini-Cube and the 2 person Salem barrel, which is 6 feet across and 4 feet long.
Is a 2 person sauna big enough?
For two people sitting upright, yes. If you want to lie down or sometimes host a third person, a 4 person barrel is a better fit for a few hundred dollars more.
