Kombiofen for barrel sauna and additional roof covering wanted

I am a bit late, but I doubt that the sauna will remain watertight for long without an additional roof in rain and snow. A wine barrel is only watertight if it is always full and not standing in the rain, let alone sideways. A metal roof can be made by any tinsmith in any material, but it won’t be cheap. You can put flat roof foil on if bitumen shingles are not desired. This foil is gray

Morning,
the sauna is already on its way and will arrive next week. For those interested: I actually got it now for only €3300 including delivery ;)

It is a kit, cedar wood, 3m long (outside) and inside about 2.4m + a small "terrace" in front. Diameter about 2.1m. The sauna stove will probably be 9KW (because more energy "fizzles out" outside and I prefer it to be rather hot). I have currently chosen the Harvia Kubic. Foil is out of the question. The sauna is supposed to become a "showpiece."

I have already spoken with a specialist company regarding a metal roof. My dream roof would be a barrel roof made of aluminum (in the "Rimova style").
Most likely it will be one made of self-laying metal shingles. I am still researching what is actually sensible and feasible.
A roof cover made of wooden shingles, also from red cedar, costs about 1K (material only). I could also well imagine that...

Look at large sheet metal processors, there are also online ones, for example in Eitorf, Google will find them quickly. You can also have circular segments made of aluminum pre-bent delivered to you, large ones in one piece up to a maximum of 2.5 sqm. The price is reasonable, maybe an alternative.

we currently have the bio sauna on, 70 degrees, 45% humidity, with eucalyptus,
the weather is perfect for it

Have you already set up and used the sauna?
On our control panel, there is also a switch for the fan. Since we don't have one, I connected an ambient light to it.
Opened the power unit and connected the light to the fan contacts.
This way, we can now operate everything from the outside as well.

Have you already set up and used the sauna? ...

Unfortunately no, nobody really has time right now :-( ... But it is supposed to be set up by 29.12 at the latest (assembly of the sauna without electricity), that’s what I was promised! Whether it will then already be fully connected and functional ... ??? But you learn to be patient in these times :rolleyes: I did find suitable sheet metal though. I talked on the phone the last few days with a friend who knows about this. You just have to know the right term to search for. It’s called bombiertes Blech. Search for Nissenhäuser + Blech. Then you find results. Basically corrugated sheet metal bent across the wave, so it’s excellent statically. Costs about €900 for 9m² of 1mm aluminum sheet. Steel sheet would be cheaper, about €600 (but without transport). So I have to drive 200 km each way again (FA Achenbach) with a trailer. But that will certainly happen next year ...

So, tomorrow the foundation will be built and the day after tomorrow the sauna will be assembled. But I still haven’t bought the sauna stove :-( I’ll clarify my idea and maybe someone can give tips. I only have time to visit the local dealers starting from the week after next... 9KW stove, preferably modern stylish design (hanging or standing doesn’t matter, both are fine). No combo (BIO) stove, infusion is enough for me external control unit preferably with the option to control it via app (the electrician just recommended not to cut or switch the power completely using a 3-phase 40A contactor, he and I don’t know how the control unit would react to that) As a thank you, of course there will be pictures when finished...
