DESCRIPTION

Backyard Shower Companion

The SaunaLife Rain-Series Outdoor Barrel Shower was designed to be the most durable, attractive, and approachable outdoor shower you can put next to a sauna or pool. Model R3 brings Thermo-Spruce construction, a dual-head chrome fixture system, and thoughtful drainage into a barrel form that looks at home in a New England backyard.

Durability — Built for seasons of outdoor use

Thermo-Spruce lasts up to 2x longer than cedar. Every R3 starts with 1.65" full-length staves that wrap the shower and deliver real thermal resistance. The wood is chemical-free, dimensionally stable, and the same material SaunaLife trusts for barrel saunas — so the surround stays solid through freeze-thaw cycles and wet-dry swings.

Ingenuity — Dual heads and smart drainage

Heavy-duty stainless steel barrel bands (1-7/8" wide, 1/8" thick) compress the full-height staves into a 49.6" diameter × 83" high interior. Inside: a 7" chrome rain head overhead plus a tethered handheld, both hot-and-cold capable. A removable interior mat covers pitched floor channels that move water out cleanly. Two exterior robe hooks and plumbing concealment material keep the install tidy.

Beauty — Nordic Spruce that earns its place outdoors

SaunaLife sources Nordic Spruce and dries it to a rich golden tone with rustic tight-knot character. A complimentary bottle of paraffin oil is included to enrich and protect the interior finish. Designed by SaunaLife and precision-crafted in Northern Europe — engineered for a 1-day, 2-person DIY install.
