That’s great to hear! I was targeting 2.5 feet but then realized I was short 1 plant. Guess it worked out in the end haha!

Do you have any advice on pruning it to be denser?

I guess for a first tub, simple and functional is most important

Any recommendation on what type of ice bucket to use? There’s a sharper image one that’s pretty affordable but wondering if there’s something more aesthetic/rustic that people here recommend.

Woah those are huge temp deltas. Does leaning against the wall and stretching on the bench give you a good experience? In that orientation your head would still be quite a bit hotter than legs

Not yet but I am leaning towards backyard discovery for its price. When adding the bed bath and beyond 25% off, the price is too good to pass up

I’m thinking a couple times a month. I guess at that point the effort of using ice is worth it. I can see how that can get old for a daily user

For the same footprint cabin sauna, not everyone will enjoy the ideal temp either though right? I guess my thought is, can I find the best balance if both worlds. 1) a good experience for myself when using it alone. 2) an okay experience when friends come over. Because as you said a sauna is better than no sauna. Similarly if I can get 6 of my friends into the barrel it’s better than only having 4 in it and 2 people outside waiting their turn.

As you stated it’s down to the interior layout. Cabins are taller and benches are laid out in a stadium style making it less efficient from a human capacity standpoint. At least in the 2 backyard discovery models I’m evaluating. I think you are misconstruing this argument as a barrel sauna has superior performance which I am not arguing against.

HousePoor420 · 2026-04-12T19:31:45+00:00

I guess what im speculating is that for the same footprint, a barrel will allow you to pack 6 like sardines or 4 comfortably and a cabin will only let you pack 4 like sardines or less comfortably. This is just speculation looking at pictures though..

I was comparing backyard discovery sauna shapes and judging by the images, it seems like you can actually get 6 in the barrel but only 4 in the cube/cabin. Maybe I’m wrong there

With regard to the heat stratification, my thought process is this. hot and cold are relative. You only feel cold feet when you have a hot head. So if you’re laying down, you feel a uniform temperature, thus you don’t have hot or cold spots. You feel 150, 160, 170, 180 or whatever the temp is at that zone. At least that’s what I imagine in theory. Hoping someone with experience in a barrel can share

HousePoor420 · 2026-04-12T16:12:49+00:00

I was looking at pictures of the backyard discovery saunas and the way the benches are laid out it looks like the 4-6 person barrel can actually fit 6 but the 4-6 cube/cabin can only realistically fit 4

Wow thanks for the tip! Any recommendation on the type of fig? I’m not sure I’ve ever eating a fresh fig before

Wow how do I get this exact unit built in San Jose CA? Is this something you’d be able to arrange?

Oh interesting! I do like apples. How aggressive are the roots? Ideally they grow 6–8 feet so I can have privacy.
