Our custom DIY sauna process is simple. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions throughout it – we’ve built and installed over 150 saunas so we know how to help!
It starts when you submit a quote, or give us a call (612.505.9700).
After you submit a form, we’ll reach out to you about your sauna project!
We’ll walk you through the different sauna options available, preparation needed before installing a sauna, and answer any questions you have during the process.
After you’ve decided on the custom options, we’ll get a CAD drawing for it. You’ll still have time to change the sauna if you want.
After you’ve approved the CAD, the building process will start.
Typically custom saunas have a lead time (duration changes throughout the year).
We’ll let you know when the sauna is ready to be picked up or delivered!
Building your own sauna is not as daunting as it may seem. If you can frame a room, you can install one of our custom DIY sauna kits. Below are some examples of saunas that all started with one of these same kits. Kits can be ordered as custom infrared, custom indoor, or custom outdoor.
The team of sauna builders here in Cokato, Minnesota has been doing this for decades, building thousands of these pre-cut sauna kits each year.
All sauna components including the sauna heater, wood cabinetry, controls, speaker system, and LED lighting system are covered under our industry leading 5 year warranty.
