We’re a Finnish-Owned sauna builder and authorized Finnleo dealer out of Cokato, MN. We offer fully custom built saunas, modular saunas, heaters, doors and more.
Nearly every member of the team grew up with a sauna in the home. Saunas are not just what we build and sell, they’re a part of who we are.
Beyond the health benefits, relaxation, and detoxification a sauna provides, saunas are a place of gathering with friends and family.
As most of the team are of Finnish descent, we have a deep passion for saunas. Nearly all of us grew up with a sauna in the home (and still do to this day).
So not only do we build and work with saunas on a daily basis, we also use them every day.
Cokato, Minnesota is the official, un-official Sauna Capital of North America. Decades ago (1984), Keith Raisanen (President John Raisanen’s Father) started Finnleo / Saunatec (now known as Sauna360) right here in Cokato. We now are an authorized dealer of Finnleo Saunas, working in partnership with Sauna360 (also located in Cokato).
Saunas are our expertise. We’ve built and installed hundreds of saunas to this point and can help you with yours. We take pride in the quality of work that we do and have a high bar for exellence.
We’re proud to share our passion for Sauna with each and every one of our clients, whether they’re new to Sauna or have been using them their entire lives. Contact us online or call 612.505.9700 to get started with your dream sauna.
We help our customers build their dream sauna, whatever that may be. This includes traditional indoor saunas and outdoor saunas, infrared saunas, and combo saunas (both infrared and traditional).
If you are building a DIY sauna, need to upgrade, or replacing parts of your sauna, we can get you all the parts you will need. That includes sauna wood, sauna heaters, doors, vapor barrier, etc. We even offer custom pre-cut kits so for easier install on your end.

John has been a sauna enthusiast his whole life after growing up in Cokato with a sauna at home and one at his childhood family cabin on Lake Superior. He says there is never a bad time for a sauna, but his favorite would be the sauna-swim combination in a lake (the colder the better!), or taking a sauna after a cold day outside.
John grew up in the sauna industry with his Dad, Keith, starting and running Finnleo and Saunatec (now Sauna360) in Cokato for many years.
John’s father, Keith Raisanen, started Saunatec here in Cokato decades previous, in 1984.

A : I’m a relaxing sauna type a guy, I prefer throwing steam at a lower overall temperature. Typically not very dry and not a lot of steam.
Q : What is your favorite sauna experience/ memory?
A : My favorite sauna memory is a close tie between sauna swimming at the cabin in the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan), and taking sauna in a trailer sauna in Alaska.
Darby is an avid sauna and cold plunge user. He is in charge of the marketing at Sauna Supply. He works on the website, does social media and keeps track of other odds and ends. Darby enjoys both traditional and infrared saunas, mixing it up depending on the day.
Q&A with Darby :
Q : Do you prefer traditional or infrared saunas more?
A : I love them both, but I have to go with the traditional sauna. They’re largely different experiences – traditional is hotter and hits the skin more, infrared has a slower build-up but still packs a punch. Both will make you sweat and feel good.
Q : What temp do you like to sauna at?
A : I prefer to sauna at temperatures around 180F. I like a lot of steam.
Q : What is your favorite sauna experience/ memory?
A : I have a couple favorites. It’s hard to beat sauna-swimming in Lake Superior with my family. Going from the wood-fired sauna at around 220F to Lake Superior will clear the mind like nothing else can. Sauna-cold tub in Alaska was also fun. And lastly, I’ll always have fond memories of building a tent sauna while camping with my brothers, and going from that to the river.
