Signature Construction

Built Like a Home, Not a Kit

The Garage Sauna is designed for homeowners who want the quality and permanence of a residentially built sauna in a compact indoor format. Its fully insulated structure, flexible interior, and assembled delivery turn an underused garage, gym, or workshop into a dedicated space for everyday relaxation and recovery.

Full Wall, Ceiling & Floor Insulation

Rockwool insulation throughout the walls, ceiling, and floor helps the Garage Sauna heat efficiently, maintain consistent temperatures, and deliver dependable performance in indoor spaces.

Residential-Quality Construction

The Garage Sauna is built using residential construction methods that give it greater strength, stability, and long-term durability than conventional panelized sauna kits.

Premium Western Red Cedar

Clear Western Red Cedar brings natural beauty, lasting durability, and the distinctive aroma that has made it a preferred material for premium traditional saunas.

Designed for Indoor Spaces

Its compact footprint is purpose-built for garages, home gyms, workshops, and dedicated wellness rooms, allowing homeowners to add an authentic sauna without sacrificing backyard space.

Delivered Fully Assembled

The Garage Sauna arrives fully built and ready to roll into your prepared indoor space, eliminating the lengthy assembly process associated with conventional sauna kits.

Frequently Asked Questions

To ensure a smooth delivery and installation process, we recommend completing a few important preparation steps before placing your order:

Prepare a solid foundation — Your sauna should be installed on a stable, level surface such as compacted gravel, pavers, or a concrete pad.
Confirm electrical requirements — Each sauna heater has specific electrical needs, so we recommend consulting a licensed electrician prior to installation.
Contact us for current availability — Inventory and ship-out dates can change quickly, so we encourage reaching out to confirm current stock and estimated shipping timelines before ordering.
Plan for assembly if needed — If you are located in the Portland or Vancouver area, we can provide a trusted local assembly referral. For customers outside the area, we recommend using Thumbtack.com to find qualified installers near you.

If you have any questions during the planning process, our team is always happy to help.

Most in-stock saunas ship within a few business days, with delivery typically arriving within 5–7 business days after shipment depending on your location and freight scheduling. Because inventory can sell out quickly, we recommend contacting us to confirm current stock availability and estimated ship-out dates before ordering. If current inventory is sold out, the next available shipment may be approximately 5–6 weeks out.

The sauna is designed for assembly-friendly installation with a clasp-together panel system. Many customers assemble it themselves, but professional assembly is always recommended for the best experience. For local Vancouver/Portland area customers we have a trusted assembler we can refer, otherwise we recommend thunbtack.com.

Electrical requirements vary depending on the heater package selected. Most sauna heaters typically require 240V electrical service and up to a 50 AMP breaker, depending on the model. We strongly recommend consulting a licensed electrician before ordering to ensure your space is properly prepared. Please review the heater specifications carefully, and feel free to contact us if you need help locating the heater manual or confirming the full electrical requirements for your setup.
