The Fjell is a classic Scandinavian barrel sauna for the garden. The round shape isn't just for looks: it helps hot air circulate so the heat spreads evenly, with fresh air drawn in low down and pushed out high up. It's built from 42mm Nordic spruce with aspen benches, which stay comfortable to sit on because aspen is resin-free and doesn't get too hot. The two bigger sizes add a small changing area in front of the steam room.
Why choose the Fjell
- Barrel shape: even heat and natural air circulation.
- Three sizes: from a compact 0.9m² for two or three people to a 1.6m² steam room with a changing area.
- Glass front option: a toughened glass end wall lets in the light and the view.
- Thermo option: thermally modified timber in a rich, darker colour.
- Roof shingles included: no extra roof covering to buy.
About this product
Will it suit your space?
The Fjell 0.9 is 2.0m long, 1.6m wide and 2.06m high. The 1.3 + 0.7 is 2.5m long and the 1.6 + 0.7 is 2.9m long; both are 2.2m wide and 2.25m high. Leave room around it to build it and to maintain the timber.
Every Palmako sauna is delivered as a pre-cut DIY kit on a lorry, in large heavy packs, so check there is access to get it close to where it will be built. It needs a flat, level, solid base, such as a concrete slab, paving or a screw pile base.

Installation and safety
The sauna arrives as a pre-cut kit with an assembly manual and everything needed to build the cabin. It's a two-person job; allow a day or more depending on the size. Palmako delivers it untreated: treat the inside with a sauna-safe product and the outside straight after assembly to protect the timber.
Electric sauna heaters must be connected by a qualified electrician, and bigger heaters may need a dedicated supply, so check before you order. If you choose a wood-burning heater, its chimney must be installed to the manufacturer's instructions and kept clear of anything that can burn.
Questions
Is a heater included?
No. Choose a 3.6kW to 9kW electric heater to suit the size, the HUUM Drop, or Harvia's wood-burning set for a traditional fire sauna.
Do I need planning permission?
Many garden saunas fall under permitted development in England, which allows up to 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary. The Fjell is 2.06m to 2.25m high depending on size. A heater flue adds height, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and in conservation areas, so check with your council if you're unsure.
How is it delivered?
Free, direct from Palmako by lorry to mainland England, Wales and Scotland, as flat-packed timber. Islands and Northern Ireland are quoted separately, so please contact us first. We'll confirm the delivery date with you before it's sent.
How long does it take to arrive?
