If your electrical panel is limited, the 8ft barrel can use a 7.5 kW heater on a 40A breaker. It takes 25–30 minutes to reach temperature, versus 10–15 minutes with the 9 kW (50A NON-GFCI Breaker).

Can I get it delivered during the winter?
Yes, no problem. The site needs to be clear of snow on delivery day. If your electrical line is being buried, we recommend having your electrician trench the cable before the ground freezes.
Manufactured in Canada
All of our saunas are designed and manufactured in Canada. This gives us control over the cedar we select and allows us to continually improve our products.
Watch out for companies that might claim to be local but import sauna kits from overseas. Imported kits are fraught with quality issues from use of finger-jointed boards, poor design and cutting corners.
Built for Harsh Winters
Being a Canadian company, we’re used to frigid temperatures, several cm’s of rain and over 10 meters of snowfall every year.
Our saunas are specifically designed for these climates. We have customers in Northern BC, Yukon, Alberta and all across Canada that will attest to that.

Depending on where you’re located in Canada, we offer unassembled delivery and in a lot of cases we also offer delivery with on-site assembly. To see the best fulfillment option for your area, enter your postal code above.
Why Go With the Sealant Kit?
Our saunas are made of natural western red cedar which smells amazing and does a great job withstanding the elements.
To keep your sauna looking new and avoid it greying from UV exposure or getting watermarks, we strongly recommend the application of our sauna sealant kit.
Included in the Kit is
- 1x 2.5L OSMO 410 (for the exterior)
- 2x Large Brushes
**For customers going with our assembly service, please note that we do not offer application of sealant.
The Fastest Heat-up Times
Our electric saunas heat up to 90°C (194F) in just 10-15 minutes, even in the dead of Winter.
Our wood-burning saunas are also remarkably fast to heat up, taking around 40 minutes to reach temperature.
Compare this to many sauna designs taking an hour or more to heat up.
Some Things You Might Be Wondering...
Nootka Saunas offers a proprietary metal roof, made with 24-gauge galvanized aluminum. Far superior to any "tin roof" or "asphalt" roof, the material is rated to last for decades.
The metal roofing protects the sauna from rain, snow and UV. It also speeds up the heating time by about 20%.
Nootka Saunas works very hard to ensure that we can make the claim that we have the best barrel saunas on the market. It's a combination of the below tenants that ensure this is true...
- Carefully Selected Western Red Cedar
- Fully Engineered, sealed designs that can withstand harsh snow and Wind Loads. Available here
- Canadian-made heaters
- Local Manufacturing
- 10mm tempered glass
- 10-15 min heat up times for electric heaters (30-45 mins for wood-burning stoves)
- Easy Fulfillment Options
We don’t currently make infrared saunas. The jury is still out on the health benefits associated with infrared saunas and we’ve been disappointed by the build quality and lifespan of most infrared panels on the market.
In addition, you don't feel a blast of heat immediately with infrared saunas, so outdoor infrared saunas don't make much sense in cold climates as you'll freeze before noticing any of the benefits of the sauna.
As such, we only fabricate electric and wood-fired saunas.
We love hot saunas. As such, we've designed our saunas to get as hot as possible and they are comparable to traditional, square saunas.
In Canada, CSA governs the maximum temperature for electric sauna heaters to 90°C (194°F). Wood fired saunas can get slightly higher depending on the type of wood being burned and size of the fire.
