Backyard Saunas Built for Manitoba Winters
An outdoor sauna turns the coldest months of the year into the best part of your week. We design and build custom outdoor saunas for Winnipeg homes, from compact barrels that tuck into the corner of a city lot to full cabin saunas with a change room and porch.
Every sauna build is sized to your yard, your household and how you actually plan to use it. We handle the whole job, from getting the site ready to the first fire.

Build It Your Way
Every outdoor sauna is designed around your space and budget. Popular options include:
- Wood choice: Western red cedar, hemlock or spruce, inside and out
- Heat source: electric heaters with timers and app control, or wood-fired stoves
- Layout: solo and couples' saunas up to large family builds
- Additions: change rooms, covered porches, exterior lighting and step platforms
- Cold plunge ready: plan space and drainage for a plunge from day one
Where an Outdoor Sauna Fits
Outdoor saunas take up yard space instead of house space, and most properties have more room than people think. Common spots include:
- City backyards in older neighbourhoods with back lane access
- Decks and patios, with the structure checked before we build
- Acreages in East St. Paul, Headingley, Oak Bluff and beyond
- Next to a hot tub, pool or cold plunge
- Tucked behind the garage, out of sight of the street

Outdoor Sauna FAQs
How much does an outdoor sauna cost?
It depends on size, style, heater and how much site prep your yard needs. We'll give you a clear, fixed quote after seeing your space.
Do I need a permit for a backyard sauna in Winnipeg?
Sometimes. The City requires a building permit for accessory structures over 10 m² (108 sq. ft.), and structures with electrical or plumbing need trade permits. We'll confirm what applies to your build during the consultation.
What does my yard need?
A level spot with reasonable access and a path for power from your panel. We'll assess the ground, access and electrical during the site visit.
Can I use it all winter?
Yes. That's what we design for. The right insulation, door seals and heater size keep an outdoor sauna performing well at minus thirty.
