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.

Let customers speak for us
from 57 reviewsAbsolutely stellar interaction with Mitch. Cannot thank them enough. Would do business again without a thought in the matter!
Mitch and the team were incredibly thoughtful and patient while I worked on my order. Shipping was clear and conciencias and everything arrived as it should
Communication and attention to customer service was amazing!!!
Love our large sauna! Actually put it together by myself.....was not recommended but can be done! Exactly as advertised! Great service!
This is a great cedar-sided cold plunge tub. I spent a considerable amount of time researching cold plunge tubs and wanted one with real ceder wood to fit my sauna room. It also has a durable heat pump, compared to lower-quality chillers. I have had it a few months and no issues. Also, in the pics below, I have the chiller, which is about a 2' x 2' cube plumbed to a different space for a clean sauna room look. I would highly recommend this tub and the price is less than some on the market.
These guys are AMAZING! I’d leave 10 stars if I could. We purchased a barrel sauna and cold plunge from them in fall 2025. They were absolutely terrific to work with! Our contractor and electrician had many (many) questions, all were promptly and kindly answered. They even customized our order by selling an extra long cord so we could install control panel inside for extra protection in MN winters. Shipping and delivery was a breeze. We are using our sauna daily and love it! Zero hesitation recommending this company! Thank you Johnny and Mitch for all your help!!!

Researched many saunas for many months. Finally landed on this one. Only complaints i have are the instructions weren't very well written and the trim on the outside was very difficult to put together. We use it almost daily.
Super stoked about the new sauna. I ended up with a beautiful 2-3 person cedar sauna with a huum heater. It’s perfect. These guys were helpful in choosing the right size, type, etc.
very glad I used the cold plunge guys.
Received order quickly. Great service
Had a great experience working with the Cold Plunge Guys and would highly recommend their products!
Honest, knowledgeable and reliable. I appreciate all the care that goes into each personal interaction.
I ordered my heater on a Thursday and it arrived the following Tuesday.
The price was by far the lowest I was able to find. I am super impressed with this company.
BEING A NEW OWNER OF A COLD PLUNGE TUB AND A SAUNA/STEAM for 6, i WAS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING, INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING MY NEW UNITS. Cold plunge guys were there for us from day 1 thru the final installation, operation and maintenance were discussed and verified! Thank God I chose the COLD PLUNGE GUYS!
