A barrel sauna program should be planned by model family, wood choice, roof protection, glass direction, heater route, and packing method. The buyer should not compare only the outside photo, because two similar barrel rooms can have different bench comfort, wall thickness, heater scope, and crate risk.
| Family | Best buyer use | Key checks |
|---|---|---|
| Classic barrel | Dealer catalog, garden projects, sample orders. | Diameter, length, bench length, heater position, and roof protection. |
| Panoramic glass barrel | Premium showroom and resort-facing programs. | Glass size, frame support, privacy, and packing protection. |
| Porch barrel | Outdoor retail and leisure projects. | Porch depth, seat detail, roof edge, and crate length. |
| Mobile barrel | Rental, event, and trailer-based programs. | Trailer frame, axle route, electrical route, weight, and local road compliance. |
| Step | Buyer input | Factory output |
|---|---|---|
| SKU mix | How many barrel models and capacities. | CBM and loading estimate. |
| Market route | Country, voltage, heater preference. | Heater and label plan. |
| Branding | Logo, carton mark, manual language. | Private-label handoff file. |
| Inspection | Photo/video points before shipment. | Production, packing, and loading evidence. |
A distributor does not need hundreds of barrel pages at the start. A cleaner launch file usually begins with a small range and clear option logic.
| Buyer field | What to record | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Launch SKU | Model code, capacity, length, diameter, porch or glass. | Keeps catalog and quotation consistent. |
| Shared options | Wood, roof, heater, stones, controller, guard. | Simplifies dealer training and stock planning. |
| Packing file | KD parts, hoops, glass, crate, accessory carton. | Reduces damage and missing parts risk. |
| Dealer handoff | Manual, warranty, product photos, spare-part names. | Helps sales teams explain the line. |
After the buyer selects a barrel model, the next discussion should not jump straight to price only. Confirm diameter, length, porch depth, window or door glass, wood species, roof protection, heater package, hoop material, crate length, accessory carton, and whether the model will be used as a sample, dealer SKU, or mixed-container item.
