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! Cedar Sense knocked it out of the park for us and we could not be more happy! This sauna will be perfect for our whole family to use, to refresh relax and enjoy together! 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.

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!

I bought a cedar log swing from Cedar Sense, it was beautiful! I ordered it online, the communication was great. They built it and shipped it very quickly. I would recommend buying from them. Thank you Cedar Sense!

What else to plan for
- Heater. Electric heaters need a dedicated circuit from an electrician; wood stoves need a chimney and safe clearances. Use our heater sizing calculator or browse sauna heaters.
- Base. Set the sauna on a level, solid base such as compacted gravel, pavers, a concrete pad or a deck built for the weight.
- Kit or assembled. Kits cost less if you're handy. See sauna kits or prebuilt barrel saunas.
Pick the right size
Go by how many people will use it at once, then size up one if you like to lie down. A 4 to 6 person sauna is the sweet spot for most families.
Kit or fully assembled
Kits cost less and go together in a weekend or two. Fully assembled saunas arrive ready to use, so you just set them on a base and wire or fire the heater.
Electric or wood heat
Electric heaters are easy, clean and can run on Wi-Fi controls. Wood stoves give a classic crackle and work off-grid. Many saunas let you choose.

Common questions
What do I put an outdoor sauna on?
A level, solid base: compacted gravel, pavers, a concrete pad or a deck built for the weight. Each product page lists the footprint.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor sauna?
Many towns treat a small sauna like a shed, but rules vary. Check with your city or county, especially for electric work.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the model. In-stock items ship quickly, SaunaLife models usually ship in 2 to 4 weeks, and Minnesota-built and Canadian Timber saunas usually take 6 to 8 weeks. Each product page shows its lead time.
Can I finance a sauna?
Yes. Financing is available on orders over $500, and you save 4% when you pay by check, ACH or wire.
What size outdoor sauna do I need?
Go by how many people will use it at once, then size up one if you like to lie down. Most families are happiest with a 4 to 6 person sauna.
How much does an outdoor sauna cost?
Outdoor sauna kits start at $3,990 and fully assembled Setri barrels at $6,490, before the heater. Luxury outdoor saunas run from about $9,500 to over $60,000.
Do outdoor saunas work in winter?
Yes. We're in Northern Minnesota and use outdoor saunas all winter. Heat-up takes longer in deep cold, so size the heater for your climate and the sauna's volume.
Is cedar or thermowood better for an outdoor sauna?
Both hold up well outdoors. Cedar is the classic choice with a natural scent; thermowood is heat-treated for stability and has a darker, modern look.
