Cedar Sense helps you design and build the sauna setup that actually fits your space, budget, and lifestyle.
Here are answers to the questions we get asked the most.
What types of saunas does Cedar Sense offer?
We offer outdoor barrel saunas, indoor saunas, and custom-built sauna rooms, as well as complimentary
amenities like cold plunges, outdoor showers, wood-fired hot tubs, and cedar outdoor furniture.
Our goal is to help you create a complete fire-and-ice experience at home or at your cabin.
Do you help with designing a custom sauna?
Yes. We created a
FREE Custom Sauna Build Guide and a simple design flow to help you plan
location, layout, bench height, heating system, and ventilation before you start building.

Do you ship saunas and accessories outside of Minnesota?
Yes. We ship saunas, cold plunges, outdoor showers, and most cedar products across the continental United States.
Shipping options and costs depend on the product and your location, which you’ll see at checkout or by requesting a quote.
Can Cedar Sense install or assemble my sauna?
For many areas in the upper Midwest, we can either provide installation/assembly options or connect you with
trusted partners. In other regions, most of our saunas arrive as kits designed for a handy homeowner or local contractor.
Contact us to discuss installation options in your area.
What’s the difference between a wood-fired and an electric sauna stove?
Wood-fired stoves give you a traditional, off-grid feel with a softer, “campfire” style heat and crackling ambiance.
Electric stoves are cleaner, easier to control, and often available with Wi-Fi and timers.
Your ideal choice usually comes down to power availability, local codes, and the sauna experience you prefer.
How long does it take to get my sauna after I place an order?
Lead times vary by model and season, but most saunas ship within a few weeks to a couple of months.
Custom builds and special configurations may take a bit longer.
We’ll provide an estimated timeline before you finalize your order.
Do you offer sauna accessories and add-ons?
Absolutely. We carry sauna buckets and ladles, thermometers, sand timers, essential oils, sauna sprays,
flooring, clocks, and more. We also offer cold tubs, outdoor showers, and cedar furniture that pair perfectly
with your sauna setup so you can create a complete backyard retreat.
Is the Custom Sauna Build Guide really free?
Yes. The guide is 100% free. You’ll just enter your name and email so we can send you the PDF and follow up
with helpful tips about planning your build. No obligation and no pressure to purchase.
How do I get started if I’m not sure what I need yet?
The best place to start is by downloading the
Custom Sauna Build Guide and answering a few simple questions about your space,
budget, and goals. From there, you can either design your sauna online or
reach out to us directly for personalized recommendations.
