🔥 True North Wood Burning Barrel Sauna — Rest. Relax. Recover.
Step into a sauna shaped by tradition and powered by fire. The True North Wood Burning Barrel Sauna delivers the classic sauna experience in its purest form. With its fully rounded profile and balanced design, it creates a space that feels warm, grounded, and deeply restorative from the moment you step inside.
Simple, timeless, and built around the ritual of heat, this is sauna as it was meant to be experienced.
A True Wood-Fired Sauna Experience
At the heart of the barrel sauna is a premium wood-burning heater, delivering deep, natural heat that builds gradually and surrounds you completely.
Lighting the fire becomes part of the ritual. The soft crackle of wood, the glow of the flame, and the steady rise in temperature create an experience that feels slower, more intentional, and deeply calming.
As the stones heat, you’ll enjoy rich, satisfying löyly (steam) and a softer, more balanced heat that fills the space evenly.
Designed Around You
Every True North sauna is built to match your space, your style, and how you want to experience your sauna. With the Barrel Sauna, you’ll configure a few key elements:
Size & Layout
Choose from five length options, all within the classic barrel form:
• 6' × 7' × 6'7"
• 7' × 7' × 6'7"
• 8' × 7' × 6'7"
• 9' × 7' × 6'7"
• 10' × 7' × 6'7"
This allows you to tailor the sauna to your space. From compact, personal setups to larger, more social layouts. While maintaining the same comfortable interior height and width.
Porch Options
Select no porch, a 1-foot porch, or a 2-foot porch at the front of your sauna.
Each porch includes built-in bench seating on both sides, creating a sheltered space to cool down, reset between sessions, or keep essentials within reach.
The overall length remains consistent, while adding a porch creates a dedicated covered entry area. Meaning interior sauna space adjusts slightly depending on your selection.
Roof Style
Choose between a natural cedar roof system for a more traditional sauna look, or a sleek black metal roof for added durability and long-term performance. All models include an ice and water shield beneath the roof for protection in Canadian climates.
Window Upgrade
Add optional front-facing windows to bring in natural light and enhance the atmosphere. (+$499)
Wood Type
Crafted from Eastern White Cedar as standard, with the option to upgrade to Western Red Cedar for a richer tone and elevated finish. Reach out anytime for a quote on cedar upgrades.
Heater & Chimney Configuration
Choose from a range of premium wood-burning heaters, along with your preferred chimney setup. Options include a vertical chimney through the roof or a rear/side wall exit, depending on your layout and installation preference.
Not sure which setup is right for you? We’re always happy to recommend popular configurations based on your space, layout, and how you plan to use your sauna.
Classic Barrel Design, Built for Performance
The fully rounded shape isn’t just iconic, it’s highly efficient. The barrel design promotes rapid heat-up times and even heat distribution throughout the space. At the same time, the integrated flat floor provides a stable, comfortable surface to step in and move around with ease.
Combined with wood-fired heat, it creates a traditional sauna experience that feels both powerful and deeply immersive.
Built for Canadian Outdoor Living
Handcrafted from premium cedar and designed for year-round use, the Barrel Sauna is built to perform in a wide range of climates. The rounded exterior naturally sheds rain and snow, while the solid construction ensures durability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
From cold winter nights to quiet outdoor evenings, it’s built to be used whenever you need it.
Simple, Rewarding Assembly
Your sauna arrives ready for assembly, with everything clearly organized for a smooth setup. Most builds can be completed in a single day with two people and basic tools. It’s a straightforward process, and a rewarding one.
