Almost Heaven Lewisburg 7’x8′ DIY Barrel Sauna Kit
Sometimes, bigger truly is better—especially in the case of the Lewisburg! At 7’x8’, you’ll have plenty of room to stretch out solo or with friends, especially because the diameter measures a full foot larger than the typical barrel sauna. If you’re a tried-and-true sauna fan who craves a wood-burning heater, the Lewisburg has space to accommodate it! Otherwise, the 8 kW electric Harvia heater will have you sweating in 180ºF temperatures in less than an hour. You can go big and go home to your personal sauna paradise with the Lewisburg!

Options & Customizations
Lumber type: Choose between three different types of solid lumber. Rustic fir is light in color, with small knots creating a unique pattern on each piece. Rustic cedar has a slightly red hue amongst the knots and boasts a pleasant cedar aroma. Clear cedar is premium lumber, with knots noticeably absent. All three lumber options are 1 ⅜” thick to insulate the sauna room.
Vista rear window: Open the barrel sauna interior to breathtaking views with the addition of the vista rear window. This 20” x 36” piece of 3/8” glass sits on the back end barrel, above the electric heater.
Door style: Outfit your sauna with one of the following four door options: deluxe glass, fading glass, wood with a window, or all-wood.
Heater: The Lewisburg comes standard with an 8kW electric, and you can upgrade it to an electric 8kW Harvia KIP80W with Xenio CX170 panel and WiFi controls, or a wood-burning Harvia M3 heater with a chimney kit.
Care & Maintenance
Traditional saunas require very little upkeep. Simply wipe down the interior after each use and check for any dust or debris that you may have tracked in.
Shipping & Assembly
The Lewisburg will ship via a flatbed truck. Lead time is 3-6 weeks.
Mid-level handyman and assembly skills are recommended for this sauna. Minimal sawing or modifying certain components may be necessary during the assembly process. Two people can generally do the assembly in 6-8 hours. It is recommended that you review the installation manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the process.
Two Ways to Enjoy Your Sauna
Heater and stones are essential to a traditional sauna experience. With the room at least heated to 160ºF, the traditional sauna can be enjoyed in two ways. The first is called a dry sauna, which lacks any added moisture. The second is called a wet sauna, where you sprinkle water onto the heated stones to create a refreshing burst of steam and added humidity.
