We started with a great design and went from there. Each feature of Northern Lights cedar barrel saunas has been carefully considered and handcrafted with only the very best finishing touches.
Our patent-pending smart stave design, and laser-guided milling ensures a waterproof barrel without the need of additional roofing. Our milling design uses two separate joints; a canoe joint for the staves and T&G joint for the walls giving superior strength and rigidity – and the pressure-treated cradle provides a solid support for your barrel sauna.
The round shape of our outdoor barrel sauna ensure a fast heat-up time. With no corners for the heat to get trapped in, means that it’s a very energy-efficient design to make the most of your heat!
All of our saunas are handcrafted by a small team of skilled craftsman that have many years of experience and knowledge when it comes to precision wood construction. They’re crafted using only clear grade ‘A’ Western red cedar, stainless steel fixings and heaters, and high performance technical units and components.

Northern Lights cedar saunas start as full 2” x 6” planks of clear, grade A western red cedar that are carefully planed down to create the 1.5” thick walls you’ll see on all of our outdoor barrel saunas. Quality you just won’t find anywhere else.
With this solid construction, not only does it keep the heat in - but it prevents warping as well, ensuring you’re enjoying your cedar saunas for years and years to come!
All of our sauna parts fit through a regular doorway, enabling you to install your sauna just about anywhere. Whether in an enclosed backyard, on a roof terrace, or even on a mountain top (yes, it’s been done!), any hard to reach place is accessible - you will not need a crane.
Our prefab engineering makes your barrel sauna easy to assemble, even for the not-so-handy. All you need is a few basic tools such as a wrench and screwdrivers. Each Northern Lights sauna is packed with detailed assembly instructions and photos, as well as an operating manual to make installation of our outdoor saunas smooth and simple.

Whether you want to go off the grid with Wood-fired heating, stick to traditional electric, or opt for infrared – our Northern Lights barrel saunas come equipped with high quality, energy efficient heaters designed specifically for our saunas using 100% surgical stainless steel inside and out. These heaters are available in 6.0 kw or 7.5 Kw for colder climates and come with a lifetime warranty. And - safety is key - our saunas also come equipped with a protective heat guard as well.
All saunas are available in in either Canadian/US (230VAC/60Hz) and European (220VAC/50Hz) supplies and codes with optional wood fired sauna heating systems.
Once your sauna is installed, all that’s left is to sit back and enjoy.
Depending on exposure to elements and usage, re-application of stains will be required every 5 or so years to keep the cedar planks and seating on your sauna looking like new. But that’s it! Thanks to the exceptional quality of the cedar used to craft out saunas, rest assured you’ll be soaking up the benefits of your sauna with as little maintenance as possible.
