🔥 True North Schooner Wood Burning Barrel Sauna — Rest. Relax. Recover.
A classic design refined through experience. The True North Schooner Wood Burning Barrel Sauna takes everything people love about traditional barrel saunas and elevates it with a more practical, comfortable interior. With its rounded upper profile and flattened base, it delivers the warmth and efficiency of a barrel sauna while creating a more grounded, usable space inside.
Paired with a wood-burning heater, it becomes something even more powerful. A slower, more intentional ritual built around fire, heat, and stillness.
A True Wood-Fired Sauna Experience
At the heart of the Schooner 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 crackle of wood, the soft glow of flame, and the steady rise in temperature create a sauna experience that feels grounded, immersive, 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 Schooner, you’ll configure a few key elements:
Size & Layout
Choose from five length options, all with a consistent width and height:
• 6' × 7' × 6'7"
• 7' × 7' × 6'7"
• 8' × 7' × 6'7"
• 9' × 7' × 6'7"
• 10' × 7' × 6'7"
From compact, personal setups to larger, more social configurations, each size delivers the same balanced interior feel.
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 overall 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.
A More Spacious, Practical Interior
The Schooner’s defining feature is its flattened base.
By squaring off the bottom of the barrel, it creates a more stable walking surface and a more open, usable interior. Without losing the heat efficiency and enveloping feel of the curved design above.
It feels easier to move within, more comfortable to sit in, and better suited for regular, everyday use.
Built for Canadian Outdoor Living
Handcrafted from premium cedar and designed for year-round use, the Schooner is built to perform in a wide range of climates. The rounded upper structure helps shed 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.
