- Barrel saunas: These saunas are designed with a cylindrical shape, resembling a large barrel laid on its side. The unique shape offers efficient heat circulation and requires less energy to heat the interior. Barrel saunas are often made from cedar or other high-quality woods, providing a natural, aromatic experience.
- Cabin saunas: Cabin saunas, also known as garden saunas, are rectangular or square structures that resemble small cabins or sheds. These saunas typically have more interior space and can include additional features such as windows, multiple rooms, or built-in seating. Cabin saunas can be built from various materials, with cedar, spruce, and pine being popular choices.
- Mobile saunas: Mobile saunas are portable structures built on a trailer or wheels, allowing for easy transportation and setup in different locations. These saunas often come in smaller sizes and can be either barrel or cabin-style, depending on the design. Mobile saunas are ideal for those who want the flexibility to enjoy a traditional sauna experience in various settings.
