Golden Designs built the St. Moritz around that principle. At 2-person capacity with a 60-inch depth and a 75-inch-wide barrel, the St. Moritz reaches its ideal operating range of 170 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit in less time and with less energy than comparably sized box saunas -- and it holds that heat with the kind of consistency that makes the difference between a session that works and one that just gets warm. This is the version of the barrel sauna that is built to perform from the day it goes up, not just to look the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel is constructed from Pacific Premium Cedar -- a wood chosen for outdoor sauna applications because of its natural oil content, its resistance to moisture and insects, and the aromatic quality that fills the interior when the stove fires up. Pacific cedar has a tighter, denser grain than Eastern White Cedar, giving it greater natural weather resistance and a longer outdoor service life with minimal maintenance. The exterior stave construction holds the barrel shape under the stainless steel bands that cinch the sauna together, and the structure is designed to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes without compromising the integrity of the seal. The bronze privacy tempered glass door and matching stainless steel hinges and handle add durability and a clean, finished appearance to the front face of the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the St. Moritz is a purpose-built sauna room, not a converted outdoor box. The interior backrests on both sides of the bench include integrated accent lighting, creating a warm, low-level glow that makes the session feel deliberate rather than utilitarian. The LED control panel allows lighting adjustment without reaching for the stove. The two-tier bench configuration runs along both sides of the interior, giving two adults genuine room to sit or recline. The stove is a 6kW unit with built-in controls, wall-mounted and positioned at the front interior per the installation instructions. The 6kW output is appropriate for the St. Moritz's interior volume, and an 8kW upgrade is available for buyers who want faster heat-up or who plan to use the sauna in colder climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sauna arrives in three crates and assembles with standard hand tools -- a battery-powered Phillips screwdriver, claw hammer, and 17mm wrench. Three adults are recommended for assembly, primarily for the steps that require holding the front and rear wall panels while the staves are set. The sauna is designed for outdoor placement and can be positioned on a concrete slab, concrete pavers, gravel, cinder blocks, or a solid wood deck. The stainless steel bands will need periodic tightening every four to six months as the cedar expands and contracts with seasonal changes -- a standard maintenance step for all stave-construction barrel saunas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe St. Moritz carries a 5-year limited warranty on electronics and a 1-year warranty on the stove from the original date of purchase. The sauna is suitable for residential and light commercial use. Warranty registration is required within 60 days of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackyard Prime Living is a certified authorized reseller of Golden Designs.

Pacific cedar is denser and more weather-resistant than lighter cedar species, making it the right material for a permanent outdoor barrel installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel Design for Fast, Efficient Heating -- The curved stave barrel format eliminates dead air volume in the corners, concentrates heat at the seating zone, and allows the interior to reach operating temperature faster than a flat-wall room of comparable footprint. The result is shorter heat-up times and more consistent session temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-Person Capacity -- The St. Moritz is sized for two adults with room to sit comfortably or recline on the bench. The compact footprint -- 75 inches wide and 60 inches deep -- makes it the right choice for residential and light commercial installations where space and privacy matter more than group capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6kW Stove with Built-In Controls -- The St. Moritz ships with a 6kW electric sauna stove, wall-mounted inside the front of the barrel with built-in temperature controls. Ideal operating temperature is 170 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit; maximum is 190 degrees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional 8kW Stove Upgrade Available -- An 8kW stove upgrade is available at time of order for buyers who want faster heat-up times or who plan to operate the sauna in colder ambient temperatures. The 8kW configuration requires a 240V \/ 40AMP circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze Privacy Tempered Glass Door -- The sauna door is bronze privacy tempered glass, providing an aesthetically consistent finish to the front wall panel while maintaining the heat seal and giving privacy from outside the barrel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless Steel Hinge and Handle -- All exterior hardware is stainless steel, including the door hinge and handle. Stainless construction resists corrosion and weather exposure and ensures the hardware outlasts the sauna structure itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior Backrest with Accent Lighting -- Backrests on both sides of the interior bench include integrated accent lighting, creating a warm ambient glow inside the barrel during sessions. No overhead glare -- just low, directional light that adds to the experience without distracting from it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior LED Control Panel for Accent Lighting -- The LED lighting is adjustable via an interior control panel, allowing the user to set the mood for each session without leaving the bench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandglass Timer and Full Accessory Set Included -- The St. Moritz includes a sandglass (sauna sand timer), wooden bucket, and scoop. Everything needed to run a traditional sauna session arrives in the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-Tier Bench Configuration -- Interior bench seating runs along both sides of the barrel on two tiers, giving two adults the option to sit at different heat levels or recline fully during a session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStave Construction with Stainless Steel Bands -- The barrel is assembled from individual cedar staves tensioned by stainless steel bands. The bands must be checked and tightened every four to six months as the cedar expands and contracts with seasonal changes -- a standard maintenance step specific to stave-construction saunas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor Rated -- The St. Moritz is designed for outdoor placement. Pacific cedar naturally resists weathering, and an exterior wood water repellent treatment is recommended within one month of assembly and two to three times per year thereafter. Surface color will change naturally over time with UV and weather exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain Cover Included -- A rain cover is included for times when the sauna is not in use, providing a weather barrier over the top of the barrel between sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips in 3 Crates -- The sauna ships in three crates via freight carrier (curbside delivery). Three adults are recommended for assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential and Light Commercial Use -- The St. Moritz is rated for both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120V \/ 15AMP Circuit for Interior Lighting -- A separate 120V \/ 15AMP circuit is required to power the interior accent lighting control panel, independent of the stove circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-Year Warranty on Electronics \/ 1-Year Warranty on Stove -- Golden Designs warrants the electronics for 5 years and the stove for 1 year from the original date of purchase.
