Outdoor sauna kits

A sauna kit arrives on a pallet with every board cut to length. Two people with basic tools can build most barrel kits in a day.

Sauna kits: models and prices

What is included with each model is listed on its page. Free freight delivery to your curb.

What to check before you buy

What is in the box

Staves or wall panels, benches, door, bands or fasteners, and floor supports. The heater, stones and chimney parts may be included or sold as an add-on, so read the list.

Tools and people

A drill, a rubber mallet, a level, a socket set and a second pair of hands. A cabin kit with a roof takes longer and may need a ladder.

What a kit leaves to you

The base, the electrical circuit and, for a wood stove, the chimney clearances. Most electric sauna heaters from 4.5 to 9 kW need a dedicated 240V circuit wired by a licensed electrician. Budget for that work on top of the sauna price.

Kit types

Wood burning barrel kit1 day plus chimney$5,500 to $10,000

Kit or DIY from plans?

Building from plans costs less in lumber, but you source clear cedar, cut every stave, and buy the heater, door and glass on your own. Most people who price it out choose a kit.

An outdoor sauna needs a flat, level base that drains: a compacted gravel pad, concrete pavers, a concrete slab or a solid deck all work.

Delivery is by freight truck to the curb. Plan how you will move the boards from the street to the yard, and check the crate for damage before you sign.

Common questions

How hard is it to build a barrel sauna kit?

If you can assemble flat-pack furniture and use a drill, you can build one. The staves slot together on cradles and steel bands pull the barrel tight.

Does a sauna kit include the heater?

Some do, some list it as an option. Check whether the heater, stones, controller and wiring kit are part of the price.

Can I move a barrel sauna later?

Yes. Loosen the bands and take it apart, or lift a small barrel whole with a few people and move it on its cradles.
