What ships in the Bsaunas cedar kit crate

- Bench material and supports
- Door
- Fixings and trim for the specified layout
What the Bsaunas cedar kit does not include
Every item below is a real cost on top of the from $1,488 kit price. The heater is the largest of them, and it is not in the box.
- Heater, stones and controls
- The framed, insulated and vapour-sealed room itself
- The 240V circuit
- Any drainage, flooring or ventilation work the room needs
What heater the Bsaunas cedar kit needs
Because the room is custom, the heater follows your finished volume rather than a model spec. Work out the lined interior cubic figure and match it to the heater maker's published range — wall-mount units in the 5–6kW class suit most rooms at this scale.
For how heater sizing works across every kit in this catalog, including which models ship a heater and which leave it to you, see our sauna kit heater compatibility guide.
What the Bsaunas cedar kit costs to finish
The Bsaunas cedar kit is listed at from $1,488. The lines below are the rest of the project, and they are budget guidance rather than quotes. On this kit the widest band is 240V electrical run, so that is the line to price properly before committing to the rest.
| Line | Budget | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Bsaunas cedar kit kit | From $1,488 | The structure as listed at Bsaunas USA. |
| Heater and stones | $900–$2,500 | Electric package with controls; wood-burning stoves land in a similar band once the chimney kit is counted. |
| 240V electrical run | $500–$2,500 | Installed, and highly site-dependent. Trenching distance and panel capacity drive it. Your authority having jurisdiction sets what is required. |
| Framing, insulation and vapour barrier | $400–$1,500 | Required unless the stud room already exists. Budget it before comparing this kit's price against a panel kit's. |
Our buying guide breaks the completed-project arithmetic down across every format, and the kit electrical requirements guide covers what drives the widest line on this table.
Assembling the Bsaunas cedar kit
The Bsaunas cedar kit is the most hands-on option in the catalog short of building from plans. You are cutting nothing, but you are lining a room and fitting benches yourself. Suitable for a confident DIY builder; a stretch for a first woodworking project.
Base and siting requirements differ by format and by weight. Our kit foundation requirements guide covers what each format needs underneath it.

Bsaunas cedar kit questions
Is the Bsaunas USA kit cheap because the quality is lower?
No — it is cheaper because it supplies less. The kit is custom-cut western red cedar lining, benches and a door. It does not include the framed and insulated room, the heater, or the electrical work. Compared like for like against a panel kit that arrives as finished walls, the gap narrows considerably once you cost the room.
What room do I need before ordering a custom cedar kit?
A framed stud room, insulated, with a vapour barrier facing the sauna interior, and a plan for ventilation and the heater's electrical supply. The kit lines that room. If you are starting from bare basement wall, add framing and insulation to your budget before comparing prices.
Can an indoor sauna kit go in a basement?
Basements are among the most common places indoor kits go, because the room is already enclosed and the floor is already solid. The things to settle first are ventilation, a plan for any moisture the room will generate, and whether the panel can carry the heater circuit. Your local authority having jurisdiction sets what is required.
