The backyard barrel was everything we expected and much more. The sauna is beautiful with a large one-way window on the back side that made it less claustrophobic than a regular barrel sauna. The sauna itself fires up quickly and can get as hot as you want it to be and would comfortably fit 6, though we didn’t test it. Delivery and pick up were a breeze and Nick even helped us get it fired up before he left. They give you a few fire starters which made it effortless to start for the weekend. It was a real spa weekend in the city, would highly recommend.
