Saunas

Cedar. Heat. Built for daily use.

A real sauna is a small building you sit inside for twenty minutes a day. We build them the old way — clear cedar, properly framed, vented correctly — so they last a decade without complaining.

Most of what gets sold as a backyard sauna is a kit. Bolted together in a weekend, fine for a year, leaking by the third winter. We build the other kind — framed on site, joined for the long haul, sized to the space you actually have.

Materials

What goes into a Fire & Ice sauna

Clear western red cedar inside and out, unless you ask for something else. Cedar handles the heat and the humidity without warping and it smells the way a sauna should smell. The stove is a Harvia or Huum depending on the room — we'll talk through the trade-off before we order. Doors are tempered glass with a real handle, not a piece of plastic.

Sizing

From two people to a studio

A typical backyard install seats two to four and lives off a 240V line. A studio or gym install seats six to eight and needs a dedicated electrical run we'll coordinate with your contractor. Either way, the conversation starts with a few photos of the space and a tape measure.

Install scope

Questions we get

The short FAQ

How long does an install take? A backyard build is two to three days on site once materials are in. Lead time from contract to install is usually four to eight weeks depending on the queue.

Indoor or outdoor? Both work. Outdoor is more common in the Mid-South because the climate is kind to cedar most of the year. Indoor wants a little more thought about venting and drainage — happy to walk through it.

Budget? A backyard cedar build typically runs $8,000–$18,000 finished. Studio and commercial installs scale from there. We'll give you a real number, not a range, after the site walk.
