Choosing an outdoor sauna isn't only about size. Shape changes how the unit heats, how it sits in your yard, and how it feels when you're inside. Blazin Saunas builds barrels, pods, cubes, the Timberline, and the Teton by hand in Idaho Falls, Idaho, from Sugi cedar. Our team of six has been building since 2024.
If you want the full buying checklist first, start with our Outdoor Sauna Buying Guide. Not sure where to begin? The Which sauna fits me? decision guide walks you through it.

- Heat: the pods, Pod Mini, cubes, 2 Person Barrel, XL Barrel, and Timberline list 175 to 230°F for the included heater. See heater sizing.
- Lead time: typically 4 to 5 weeks from order to ship, then 5 to 10 business days in transit. See delivery and lead times.

Barrel saunas
Barrel saunas deliver the classic steam-and-cedar experience in an iconic rounded shape. We build three sizes:
- 2 Person Barrel: seats 2, electric heater options at 6kW.
- 4 Person Barrel: seats 4, with an optional panoramic window and a Harvia M3 wood-burning option.
- XL Barrel: seats 6 to 8, available with a porch and a Harvia M3 wood-burning option.
A barrel fits you if you want the traditional look, you are heating for 2 to 8 people, or you want a wood-burning kit (4 Person and XL). Couples comparing shapes can read 2-person barrel vs pod, and families can read cube vs barrel.
Pod saunas
Pods shine when space is limited.
- Pod Mini: seats 1. Interior 41" × 41" × 71" high. The only model with an indoor option (no roof kit needed).
- 2 Person Pod: seats 2.
- 4 Person Pod: seats 4.
A pod fits you if you have a tight patio or side yard, you mostly sauna alone or as a couple, or you want to set the sauna up indoors (Pod Mini indoor option). Compare the two smallest in Pod Mini vs 2-Person Pod.
Cube saunas
Cubes give more headroom and stretch-out seating, with upper and lower benches.
- Cube (4 person): seats 4.
- Cube (6 person): 6x6x6 and 6x7x6 seat 6; 7x7x7 also available. Electric heat standard; wood-burning or gas on request (ask us).
A cube fits you if sessions regularly include kids or guests, you want a cabin-style interior, or you want more headroom (the 6x7x6 and 7x7x7 have an 82 3/8" interior height). Families can also read our family outdoor sauna guide.
Timberline
The Timberline is the largest of our kit models. The Small seats 6 and the Large seats 8, both with a sloped roofline and upper and lower benches 20 3/4" wide. It offers the widest heater range of any kit: Harvia KIP 8kW, Spirit 9kW, Virta 10.5kW, Club 12.5kW, or the Harvia M3 wood-burning stove.
The Timberline fits you if you are seating 6 to 8 and want a kit that ships free in the contiguous U.S.
Teton
The Teton is an insulated cabin that arrives fully built, so there is nothing to assemble. It comes in sizes from 5' × 6' to 8' × 10'. The 5' × 6' seats 4 and the 8' × 10' seats 10.
- Natural wool insulation, foil vapor barrier, tempered glass front wall, and waterproof flooring.
- Interior in Sugi cedar, Thermo Spruce, or Clear Grade Thermo Aspen. Siding in board and batten LP SmartSide or exterior cedar.
- Shipping is quoted for your location, including crane placement if your site needs it. Free shipping does not apply. Lead time is confirmed with your quote.
The Teton fits you if you want a built cabin delivered ready to set, with no assembly weekend. Want an attached changing room? Compare it with the Blackwood in Teton vs Blackwood, and see custom builds.

Plan the site
Before assembly day, have a level, stable base ready and plan on a licensed electrician for heater hookup. Start with foundation and electrical, and check permits and HOA early. Choosing between heat sources? Read electric vs wood-burning. We also offer gas and propane heaters; they are available by request: call, text or message us to set it up.
