Pod Sauna

The POD SAUNA is derived from the barrel concept. These oval, rain-drop shaped outdoor saunas provide additional a head-space in the walking area.  The Pod saunas come standard with two rows of single tier benches, but the extra height allows for back wall to have traditional two-tier benches.

Prefab vs. Material Kit

Prefab Saunas
(Also known as Pre-Built Saunas)

  • These saunas are pre-fabricated (like the name suggests). 
  • They can be assembled in 4-8 hours.
  • With Pre-Fab saunas there is no additional framing or insulation. The walls are self-supporting.
  • Everything is designed for quick assembly without specialized tools.
  • All our outdoor saunas (as well as our indoor Cabin and Vision models) are pre-fab.
  • Outdoor Saunas: https://www.saunafin.com/category/outdoor-saunas

Sauna Kits
(Also commonly referred to as Sauna Material Packages, Sauna Liner Kits, Do-It-Yourself Sauna Kits)

  • This refers to a built-in sauna.  The Sauna material kit is the inside "skin" of the sauna.
  • You or your contractor build the frame walls, insulate and finish the exterior.
  • We provide kits that consist of inside materials such as a door, cedar lining, molding, benches, a heater, a vapour barrier, and more.
  • You will trim the boards and nail them to the walls & ceiling.
  • You will assemble and install the benches, hang the door, etc.
  • Kits are installed permanently into a home (or club) during renovation or new construction.
  • The installed kit can blend in to home decor and can be customized in to any shape or size.
  • Sauna kits are more popular than pre-fab saunas

 

Which is Best for You?

Prefab

  • It's portable.  While we would not recommend moving it on a regular basis, it can be dismantled and re-assembled elsewhere.  If you are renting your home, this may be a better solution.
  • If you can't build a sauna yourself and can't get someone to build one, then a prefab is a viable option.
  • Perhaps you already have a finished basement and you do not want to deal with the mess of a full construction project.
  • Sometimes renovators do not want to "do" a sauna for whatever reason.  In such cases we often see a pre-fab sauna and then the renovator drywalls around it so it appears built in.
  • If you are looking for outdoor, there is a larger selection of styles and sizes of stand-alone saunas to choose from.

Material Kit

  • Material kits are available much faster than pre-fab saunas; generally, 2-3 weeks.
  • If you are doing renovations, a material kit allows the sauna to be incorporated as part of the house finishes.  It is not a stand-alone structure set off from the rest of the home. 
  • There are some limitations with a pre-fab structure in terms of size and shape.  With a built-in sauna kit, you can build virtually any size or shape sauna.
  • For outdoor, you can build or purchase your own outdoors shed or cabana and install a material kit inside.
  • Sauna Material Kits: https://www.saunafin.com/category/sauna-kits

Outdoor pre-fab sauna can beinstalled on a variety of surfaces, including:  concrete pad, gravel "cottage" pad, patio or deck

Outdoor Sauna Material Kits

In a nutshell, there are no outdoor material kits. The only real difference between an outdoor sauna material package and our standard material package is the location. The sauna kit is basically the inside "skin" of the sauna. Many outdoor saunas are built into a portion of cabana or "bunky".

  • You or your contractor will build the outside structure and we provide the sauna portion as a kit. The kit we supply includes the inside materials; including the vapor barrier, cedar lining, benches, door, molding, heater, etc.

  • We can supply additional cedar to finish of the change room area.

  • For outdoor saunas, a wood burning sauna heater is an option. We offer wood burning heaters alone or you can substitute it for the standard electric heater included with the sauna kit.

  • For information on Interior kits, see Sauna Material Package Category.
