About the wood and profile
Western Red Cedar is the classic North American sauna wood. It has a warm reddish color and a light, natural cedar scent, stays dimensionally stable through heat and humidity, and resists decay. It is light and does not hold much heat, so it stays comfortable to touch.
S4SEE means smooth on four sides with eased (rounded) edges, so it is ready for benches and backrests with no sanding.
Planning a bench
- Leave about 3/8″ between boards so water drains and air moves.
- A 20″ deep bench takes about 5 boards across at 3.5″ wide.
- Support bench boards about every 24″ with framing underneath.
- Hide fasteners from below so no hot metal touches skin.
Build the rest of your sauna
- Western Red Cedar sauna wood: paneling, benches and trim in the same species
- Tongue and groove sauna paneling
- Sauna bench wood
- Sauna trim and moulding
Free shipping, delivered prices
Shipping to the lower 48 states is built into every price on this page, so only sales tax is added at checkout. The price per foot drops as your total sauna wood order grows, and paneling, bench wood and trim all count toward it. Wood orders start at 50 board feet.
Sauna wood ships direct by freight truck. Boards 8 ft and shorter can be delivered curbside; longer boards need someone on site to help unload. 1 ft sample pieces ship by parcel, so you can see the color and profile before you order a full room. Alaska and Hawaii have an added freight charge at checkout. Call us for lead time.

What our customers say
4.8 from 139 Google reviewsExtremely happy with our sauna from Cedar Sense. Extremely high quality product and everyone loves it. Mike provides unparalleled customer service and it’s worth every penny to go with him. I can’t think of any other company that I can call the owners phone and he picks up and answers my questions. Outstanding experience from beginning to end.
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.
Brian Unterman
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!

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!

Common questions
How is shipping charged?
One freight charge for all the sauna wood in your order: 15% of your wood total, $149 minimum, $795 maximum. Freight is free on $6,000 or more of sauna wood (lower 48 states).
Can I get a sample first?
Yes. Choose the 1 ft sample piece in the length drop-down. It ships by parcel, not freight.
Is the wood treated or oiled?
It ships unfinished, ready for your sauna. Most people leave sauna wood bare or use a sauna-safe wax or paraffin oil on benches.
