Every Setri sauna is handcrafted from premium Western Red Cedar, a naturally aromatic, weather-resistant wood that’s free from plastics or harmful chemicals. The rounded barrel design heats faster and more evenly than square saunas, while taking up less space and blending beautifully into any outdoor setting.
