Description

ProSaunas Western Red Cedar 2x4 Sauna Bench Wood, Select Tight Knot is select tight knot Western Red Cedar lumber, milled smooth on all four sides with eased edges, which ProSaunas recommends for sauna benches. Each piece is 1.5 in thick and 3.5 in wide and is sold by the piece in 1 ft and 8 ft lengths.

Why Western Red Cedar for a sauna?

ProSaunas calls Western Red Cedar the traditional sauna wood in North America and selects cedar with smooth, even, straight grain and a consistent light reddish-brown color. According to ProSaunas, cedar stays comfortable to the touch in high heat, naturally resists decay, rot and insects, and contains organic compounds that help repel water.

Select tight knot Western Red Cedar has more rustic character than clear grades, with defined tight knots, rich color and a pronounced grain pattern.

Smooth four sides, eased edges

ProSaunas mills this 2x4 smooth on all four sides (S4S) and eases the edges, softening them for comfort against bare skin. ProSaunas recommends it for sauna benches.

Nominal 2x4 vs. actual size

"2x4" is the nominal size: the piece's size when it is cut from the log, before drying and surfacing. The finished piece is 1.5 in thick and 3.5 in wide.

Matching paneling, bench wood and trim

Most saunas are built in one wood. Western Red Cedar Sauna Wood collects every Western Red Cedar paneling profile and bench size; Western Red Cedar comes without matching trim. Sauna Bench Wood lists every bench wood profile in all species, and Sauna Wood collects ProSaunas paneling, bench wood and trim by species.

Cleaning and care

ProSaunas recommends wiping benches, walls and floors with a mild detergent solution to remove sweat, oils and dirt, and ventilating the sauna after each use so moisture does not build up and lead to mold or mildew.

Shipping

ProSaunas sauna wood from Topture ships to the 48 contiguous US states at a flat freight rate. Checkout calculates it from two things: how many boards are in the order, counted across all sauna wood in the cart, and the length of the longest board. It appears at checkout as "Insured Shipping": every Topture shipment is insured.

How much does shipping cost for sauna wood?

Freight per order to the contiguous US, by number of boards (rows) and longest board (columns)
Boards Up to 8 ft Over 8 ft, up to 10 ft
1–19 $195 $295
20–39 $395 $495
40–99 $495 $595
100–299 $695 $795
300–499 $895 $995
500–799 $995 $1,095
800–999 $1,295 $1,395

The rate is for the whole order, not per board: 30 boards of up to 8 ft ship for $395 in total. One board longer than 8 ft moves the whole order to the right-hand column, so 30 boards of 8 ft plus one 10 ft board ship for $495. If the order also contains other products, their shipping is calculated separately and added at checkout.

Which sauna wood orders are quoted after checkout?

Boards longer than 10 ft, orders of 1,000 boards or more, and deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories or Canada ship by freight quoted for the delivery address. Topture sends the quote after you order, and it is paid separately.

How is sauna wood delivered?

  • Boards up to 8 ft: smaller orders usually ship by parcel in cardboard, and larger orders on a pallet by LTL freight with a liftgate.
  • Boards over 8 ft: on a pallet by LTL freight without a liftgate, so unloading needs a dock or hand offloading at the delivery address. The carrier allows one hour before extra charges apply.
  • Freight is delivered curbside by appointment.
  • Some remote addresses don't qualify for the flat rate; Topture confirms any extra charge with you before the order ships.

We thought about buying a sauna for years and finally did. We absolutely love it, especially in the winter. It’s incredibly easy to assemble with two people the whole family uses it.

Ordered this sauna fall 2024 and we love it. No better feeling during a Minnesota winter. Lastly, I have to mention the customer service for this purchase has been like no other. Any questions or requests I had were addressed immediately by Topture. I got more than I expected from them and have already recommended them to several people looking for saunas. SO if you're thinking about it, JUST DO IT already..
