All Kodiak Saunas are built in Montreal, Canada. By sourcing our cedar, glass, and heaters locally, we support the community, provide better product support, and deliver faster lead times.

We use Western Red Cedar, chosen for its natural resistance to moisture, heat, and decay—making it one of the best woods for sauna construction. We offer standard 1-inch boards as well as premium 1.5-inch boards.

Yes. Our saunas come pre-stained, so you won’t need to stain them for 3+ years.

Our saunas come fully assembled and are delivered using a variety of methods to suit each customer’s needs. We currently do not offer assembly kits or build-it-yourself options.

We offer wood-burning and electric stove options, including brands like Harvia, Homecraft, and HUUM.

Heating time varies by model and outside temperature but typically ranges from 40 minutes to 1 hour. During winter, expect up to 1.5 Hours. 

All our electric heaters are 240V and range from 30–50AMP, depending on the model.

Yes. Our stoves are built to handle cold winters with no problem.

We recommend a solid, level, and well-drained surface. Suitable base options include:

• 4–6 inch crushed gravel pad with patio stones or pavers (excellent drainage and stability)

• Wood deck platform (stable and elevated foundation)

In most regions, outbuildings under ~100 sq. ft. do not require a building permit. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm compliance with all local laws.

Delivery costs vary depending on property access. A minimum clearance of 8 feet is typically required; otherwise, a crane or build-on-site option may be necessary.

Our heaters run on 240 volts, ranging from 6KW to 9KW (30AMP–50AMP). Installation requires a certified electrician.

Yes! You can choose the size, heater type, windows, backrests, flat floor, and other accessories to match your space and preferences.
