Pod SAunas

Why Pod Shapes Work So Well

Pod saunas are all about curves. The rounded roof and walls naturally move hot air around the room, cutting down on cold spots and wasted energy. The shape also creates a softer, more intimate feel inside compared to cabin-style designs — a feature many sauna owners fall in love with.

If you’d rather keep things indoors, our indoor saunas deliver the same Finnish heat therapy without taking up yard space.

Built With Woods That Match Your Lifestyle

Each brand brings its own wood choices to the table:

• SaunaLife G3 uses Thermo-Spruce for the walls and roof, with smooth Knotless Thermo-Aspen for the benches and backrests.
• Dundalk MiniPOD is made from Eastern White Cedar, known for its light color and natural resistance to rot.
• True North Pods can be customized in Pine, Red Cedar, or White Cedar, giving you flexibility to match the look and feel of your outdoor space.

All of these woods hold up beautifully outdoors, while filling your sauna with that signature fresh, natural aroma when heated.

Smart, Space-Saving Interiors

Pod saunas might look compact from the outside, but the curved layout makes the most of every inch. Wraparound benches follow the pod’s contour, so you get comfortable seating without wasted space. Depending on the model, you’ll find extras like towel pegs, headrests for lying down, or even small porches for cooling off between sessions.

Most pod saunas include:

• Seating for 2–8 people
• Compatibility with both electric heaters and wood stoves
• Tempered glass doors or windows for natural light
• Pre-cut kits for easier assembly

Choose Your Heat Source

• Electric heaters make it simple: steady heat, easy controls, and no firewood needed. (We recommend having an electrician handle setup.)
• Wood-burning stoves create the traditional experience, complete with the crackle of fire and the ability to splash water on the rocks for steam.

Made for Outdoor Living

Pod saunas are built for year-round use. From the thick Thermo-Spruce staves on the SaunaLife G3 to the insulated roof boards on True North’s large models, each design is weather-ready. Many include shingles or layered roofing for added protection, while the curved roof naturally sheds rain and snow.

Sizes That Fit Your Life

Whether you want a compact nook or a full family retreat, there’s a pod to match:

• Mini Pods (2–4 person): Great for small yards or cottage spaces, like the Dundalk MiniPOD.
• Medium Pods (4-person): Balanced designs such as the SaunaLife G3, with extras like LED lighting and front terraces.
• Large Pods (6–8 person): Spacious True North builds with customizable lengths, optional porches, and bench layouts for group sessions.
