4 Person Barrel Sauna For Sale
Great customer service. The owner called me up and took good care of me. Rare in today’s world. Highly recommend. Thank you Mike.
Peter Ahlers-Nelson
Mike with Cedar Sense helped me get set up with an absolutely beautiful 6 person barrel sauna. We live in the mountains and opted for the iki wood heater and a big window to enjoy the view. The build construction was high quality. I had seen multiple other kits and barrel saunas and this one was over the top in being well made. We chose a metal roof due to the snow load as well. Mike delivered it and set it up perfectly on our back deck. The whole process was seamless and his communication was great. I would strongly recommend using Cedar Sense. In addition, he is always around and helpful for questions and anything else needed.

Mike … the owner is ‘amazing’ to work with, helpful, responsive & very knowledgeable. The ‘hot tub’ itself is attractive to look at, has a very efficient wood burner (WOW) & feels good size & shape wise when you are in the water. I’m very pleased. Tim

Love! Mike did a great job walking me through picking the right sauna for our wants, modifying the benches to allow for hot yoga and delivering and installing for us!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Mike is such a great guy! Checked out his shop and products and enjoyed a fun coffee drink at Boozhi Brew. His saunas are beautiful and we are already trying to figure out a good time to use his portable sauna rental. Highly recommend!

PROSAUNAS Framed Sauna Window 16″ x 30″
Cedar Sense was great to work with. They provided us with tongue-n-groove planking, glass framed entry door, sized & provided the sauna heater while promptly delivering our order. They also answered numerous questions while offering lots of free sensible advice. Highly recommend you reach out to Cedar Sense for all your Sauna needs.
Dan Markert
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Micheal is a top notch guy, spent all the time on the phone with me to not only give me information and insights on the saunas but also ideas that could help direct us and our business in the right direction! The sauna was bigger and more impressive than I would have imagined! So pleased with our purchase!

Where to buy a prebuilt barrel sauna
Buy from a seller who delivers the sauna assembled with their own crew, tells you the lead time up front and answers the phone after delivery. A barrel is a 900 to 2,100 lb, five-figure purchase, so the people behind it matter as much as the cedar.
- Built in the USA: Setri barrels are built in Northern Minnesota, so you're not waiting on an overseas container.
- Delivered assembled by our team: anywhere in the USA. We've delivered saunas to customers in more than 40 states.
- Clear timing: usually 6 to 8 weeks from order to delivery. Not ready yet? We can hold your sauna and deliver later.
- 2-year warranty on Setri barrel saunas.
- Real reviews: 4.8 stars from 139 Google reviews.
- A family business: Cedar Sense is based in Waubun, Minnesota, and Mike answers calls and texts himself.

- Electric with Wi-Fi: HUUM DROP you can start from your phone
- Internal wood fire: IKI wood stove inside the sauna room
- Propane or natural gas: Scandia gas heater, no electric service needed for heat
- No heater: pick any other heater from our heater lineup

Why a barrel shape
The round shape has less air to heat, so it warms up fast and holds heat well. The staves also tighten as they warm, which keeps it strong.
Porch or changing room
A front porch gives you a covered spot to cool off and keep towels dry. A changing room adds a warm space to change, which matters most in winter.
Sizing it right
Size for how many people will use it at once, then check your space. A porch or changing room adds length.
