DIY Sauna Kits · Shipped across Canada
A sauna interior, cut to your room.
For a space you've already framed and insulated. Every kit comes with the wood to build your walls, ceiling and benches, plus the heater, lighting and sauna foil, sized to your room and checked against a build layout of your room before anything ships.

The cedar kits use tight-knot, clear or premium clear cedar on the walls, ceiling and bench fronts, with clear cedar seats, backrest and trim. The aspen kit is thermally modified aspen throughout.
Clear cedar
Knot-free cedar, C and better grade. Calm, even grain.

Before you order
Kit questions
How much carpentry experience do I need?
If you're comfortable with a mitre saw, a level and a finish nailer, you can build one of these. You cut the boards to fit and build the two-tier benches on site, following your build layout and our build guide. Most owners spread the build over a few weekends.
Do the boards come cut to size?
No. The wood ships in full lengths so you can cut each piece to your actual walls. Every count includes 30% extra for cuts and offcuts, figured from your framed size, which is slightly larger than the finished room.
Do the benches come pre-built?
No. The kit includes the lumber for the seats, frames, nose boards and backrest, and you build the benches in the room. Your build layout shows the bench heights and depths, and the build guide walks you through the assembly.
Which wood should I choose?
Clear cedar is the classic sauna look and our most popular kit. Tight-knot is the same cedar with a more rustic face. Premium clear is for rooms where every board is on show. Thermally modified aspen gives a darker, more modern room that stays very stable in heat.
Which heater comes with the kit?
A Homecraft H-Series, made in Canada, sized to your room at 6, 7.5 or 9 kW, with its control and sauna stones. You can upgrade to a HUUM DROP with UKU Wi-Fi control in the kit builder.
What do I need to buy locally?
Framing and insulation, plus a few hardware-store items: foil tape, 1×3 strapping, an exhaust vent and intake cover, and stainless finish nails and screws. The kit builder lists the quantities for your room.
Do I need an electrician?
Yes. Sauna heaters and lighting must be connected by a certified electrician, who also pulls any permit your area requires. At 240 V, the 6 and 7.5 kW heaters need a 40 A circuit and the 9 kW needs 50 A. We confirm this on the design call so you can book your electrician early.
Where do you ship, and what does freight cost?
Kits ship by pallet freight anywhere in Canada. Freight depends on your address, so we quote it on the call and include it in your final price.
What happens after I order?
We confirm every dimension with you and send a build layout of your room. Once you approve it, the kit is packed and shipped, and our team stays available while you build.
Ready when you are
Send us your room size. We'll draw the rest.
