Premium Canadian Materials
Crafted in Canada from Premium Red Cedar
Natural beauty with long-term outdoor durability.
The material used to build a sauna affects its appearance, stability, aroma, and ability to perform outdoors.
Northern Leisure uses premium kiln-dried Canadian western red cedar for its sauna structures, with clear kiln-dried cedar used for benches and selected interior components.
Many models use substantial 2-inch-thick by 6-inch-wide cedar wall lumber, along with weather-resistant roof systems designed to help protect the structure from rain, snow, and seasonal temperature changes.
A properly prepared base, correct assembly, drainage, and routine care remain important. No outdoor wooden structure is maintenance-free, but a well-installed cedar sauna is designed to provide dependable enjoyment for many years.
BUILT FOR CANADIAN SEASONS
Designed for Ottawa’s Changing Weather
Built for snow, rain, cold temperatures, and the seasonal changes that come with life in Ottawa.
Outdoor structures in Ottawa need to handle more than a warm summer afternoon. They face heavy snow, freezing temperatures, rain, humidity, and repeated seasonal changes throughout the year.
Northern Leisure saunas are designed for outdoor Canadian conditions using substantial cedar construction, precision-built components, durable roofing, tempered glass, and weather-resistant materials selected for long-term outdoor use.
A durable sauna still depends on proper installation. The base, drainage, clearances, electrical service, and final placement all matter. HB Pools can help coordinate these details so your sauna starts with the right foundation.
LOCAL SUPPORT FROM START TO FINISH
Why Ottawa Homeowners Choose HB Pools for Saunas
A great sauna starts with a quality product, but the project around it matters too. HB Pools helps bring the pieces together so homeowners have a clearer, more organized path from planning to installation.
Turnkey Project Support
From choosing the right sauna to planning access, delivery, electrical requirements, and final placement, our team can help coordinate the details from beginning to end.
Concrete Done In-House

Clear, Local Communication
We explain what is included, what needs to be prepared, and which licensed trades may be required. Our goal is straightforward: fewer surprises and better communication throughout the project.

Yes. Northern Leisure saunas are crafted in Canada from premium Canadian red cedar and designed for year-round outdoor enjoyment.
What types of saunas are available?
Northern Leisure offers several outdoor sauna styles, including barrel saunas, cube saunas, classic cabin saunas, modern cabin saunas, and panoramic saunas. Models are available in various sizes and layouts, so you can choose the style that best fits your backyard and the number of people who will use it.
What is included with a Northern Leisure sauna?
Northern Leisure describes its saunas as complete packages with premium included features. Depending on the model, features may include an electric wet/dry heater, Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone control, sauna rocks, ventilation, cedar benches, and other accessories.

Can I control the sauna from my phone?
Compatible Northern Leisure electric sauna heaters include Wi-Fi connectivity and remote smartphone control, allowing you to preheat and monitor the sauna remotely.
Can I choose a wood-burning sauna heater?
Yes. Northern Leisure offers an optional upgraded wood-fired heater for customers who prefer a more traditional sauna experience. Availability depends on the selected model and installation requirements.
Does a sauna need an electrician?
Electric sauna models require the proper electrical connection for the selected heater. The exact electrical requirements depend on the sauna and heater size. HB Pools can help coordinate the required licensed electrician as part of a turnkey project.
What kind of base does an outdoor sauna need?
An outdoor sauna needs a flat, stable, properly prepared base that can support the completed structure. The required dimensions depend on the specific model. HB Pools can prepare and pour the concrete base with our own team as part of your sauna project.
Can a sauna be installed in a backyard with limited access?
Often, yes. Northern Leisure offers optional VIP delivery and setup within a 750 km radius of its Bluevale, Ontario facility. Because the sauna can be brought to the prepared location in components and assembled on site, this can make installation possible where access for a large completed structure would be difficult.

How long will a red cedar sauna last?
There is no single guaranteed lifespan because longevity depends on the base, drainage, exposure, installation, and maintenance. Northern Leisure builds its saunas from premium Canadian red cedar with outdoor roof protection and describes them as designed for lasting durability and year-round Canadian use.
Are different exterior finishes available?
Yes. Northern Leisure lists Natural, White, and Black finishes among its available sauna options. Finish availability may vary by model.
