Invigorating and Healing Scandinavian Sauna

Sauna Jacket

January 29th, 2012

Western Canadian Red Cedar is a soft wood that is naturally resistant to the elements, and as such it is an ideal sauna wood for outdoor saunas.  Furthermore, it looks great treated or left to weather naturally!  Still, some people prefer to keep their sauna looking “new” for a long time, especially if it is in a setting that is not visited frequently, such as a vacation home or remote cabin or lodge.

Over the years we have had several inquires as to whether we have covers or jackets for the Barrel Saunas.  Some people would like to cover their saunas when not in use, both to keep them looking new and also to protect them from outside tampering.

Barrel Sauna Jacket

Almost Heaven Saunas is pleased to introduce our new Sauna Jacket, a high quality vinyl jacket that can be easily fitted over our Barrel Saunas.  The Sauna Jacket is available on a factory-direct basis and can be ordered by calling 888-355-3050.  The 6×5 and 6×6 Sauna Jackets are $299, and the 6×8 Sauna Jacket is $399.

Pool-Side Sauna!

January 14th, 2012

Take a look at this great new Barrel Sauna installation submitted by a new owner in Santa Rosa, CA!  This is the 4-person Almost Heaven Canopy Barrel sauna, and as you can see, the owner added the sauna to his swimming pool setting.

“The Sauna is located in the corner of our yard stealthily tucked in the hedges, after a nice hot sauna we come out and jump in the pool to cool off, awesome!”

Awesome indeed!  A swimming pool or spa is the perfect compliment to the sauna experience.

New California Installation!

December 27th, 2011

New Elk Grove, CA Installation

Almost Heaven Saunas receives frequent photos of new Barrel Sauna installations, and we like to share these so that new and prospective customers can get ideas for their own sauna installations!  This particular installation is a new Barrel Sauna that was installed in Elk Grove, California.  This is a nice, clean installation, and it is obvious from the tight fit of the staves that the customer did a terrific job in assembling his sauna!

With the permission of the owner, we post his review:

Dear Almost Heaven Saunas Crew,

I have enjoyed this sauna for about a week and its works great! Before I purchased the sauna I contacted Rick in regards to questions before purchasing and he was very helpful and very patient with all of my questions. I received a call 2 days before my delivery to make sure I was aware that the sauna was very close to my location and she was very pleasant to talk to. I am very happy that I purchased a top quality sauna through a top quality company.

Jeff of Elk Grove, CA

We greatly appreciate Jeff’s kind words and are pleased to have another satisfied customer!  If you are interested in purchasing a top quality Almost Heaven Sauna, or if you have specific questions related to a potential purchase, please give us a call at 888-355-3050, or email us at info@almostheaven.com.

Genuine Almost Heaven Saunas

November 26th, 2011

4-Person Canopy Barrel Sauna

In nearly every Google search having to do with Almost Heaven Saunas, Barrel Saunas or anything related to Saunas, you will generally find our name and pictures on the first page of the search.  Why?  I suppose it is because we are generally considered the oldest, most reputable manufacturer of genuine Barrel Saunas in North America.

So, it is no wonder that people are confused by the number of references to our saunas seen on the various search engines.  It is unfortunate, but many competitors use our name, our pictures, and our descriptions in promoting their own products.  Some are quite creative in using slight variations of our name and web address, while others are downright blatant.  However, rather than get upset, we are mostly flattered by the use of our name and image.

Still, it causes confusion for you, the buyer.  So, when in doubt about whether someone is an authorized dealer or agent for Almost Heaven Saunas, give us a call at 888-355-3050, or send us an email at info@almostheaven.com .  You want and deserve the best, highest quality sauna and sauna advice available, and we can steer you to the authorized agent of the particular Almost Heaven Sauna model you are looking for.  Do not settle for cheap substitutions!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Almost Heaven Saunas wishes our customers and site guests a Happy Thanksgiving Day!  Take a break from your routine, love your family and enjoy the holiday fellowship… life is truly good!  Blessings to all…

Creative Covering

November 10th, 2011

Properly assembled, the Barrel Sauna will shed water very nicely.  However, sometimes customers create there own solutions that fit in with their backyard decor and at the same time accent our stylish sauna.  Such is the case with the customer who submitted this picture of his Almost Heaven Barrel Sauna.  Very stylish and very creative!

New Installation – Wow!

October 4th, 2011

One of the highlights of my job is when I receive photos of new Almost Heaven Saunas installations!  It is always fun to see what people do to accent and highlight their sauna settings, especially those that become part of the landscape. Almost Heaven Barrel Saunas in particular are great for enhancing backyard and garden renovation projects as they are so charming in their design.

Here you can see that this San Jose customer built a custom arbor with roof to cover the sauna.  It provides shelter, cool-down seating, and a degree of privacy, all while creating a beautiful backyard focal point.

Almost Heaven Saunas are designed for outdoor use.  The quality of materials and craftsmanship is exceptional, reflecting our nearly 40 years of manufacturing excellence. Regular sauna use contributes to a healthy lifestyle and provides many health benefits, including weight loss, improved circulation and arthritic relief.  Contact Almost Heaven Saunas at 888.355.3050 for more information!
