Embodying the American spirit, BW custom outdoor and mobile saunas are built to bring people together and create lasting memories for generations to come. Whether it’s a cozy home sauna, outdoor sauna, or mobile sauna, each of our designs offers a space of warmth and relaxation built in the heart of Duluth Minnesota.
At BW, we work to handcraft lifetime quality custom mobile and home saunas to become a cornerstone of homes, lives and culture by elevating the quality, accessibility, and longevity.
In a world where everything is bought from large corporations manufacturing parts with the cheapest labor, we wanted to go in another direction. When we set out to build the best handcrafted custom backyard saunas we could in Duluth, Minnesota, we knew it had to start with finding the best people behind every bolt, board, and weld.
We have the privilege to work with some of the best craftsmen in Minnesota. Fellow Americans pushing to keep our economy strong. Those that work with their hands to make a living, making a difference, in small ways and big. The saunas we build are a lasting testament to these people.
Our custom sauna builders gather your vision and help inspire ideas and possibilities of what your sauna will be.

We work with quality people and ensure we use the best materials available. Built by a team that truly cares.
We stand behind our product. If you have questions or issues that may arise over the years, we are available to help.
BW Sauna brings decades of craftsmanship together to work with you at every stage of the process. We’re passionate about bringing to life that sauna that you dream of. The relaxing corner in your backyard, cabin, or even robust portable saunas on the go. Let’s grab a coffee and explore your options.
Ask yourself, how would you describe your perfect sauna session? Is there a shower or cold plunge? Maybe a nice seated area to relax and cool off between sessions? We take your vision and create a list of features and options that fit your life.
The materials you choose to build with are among the most critical decisions. Understanding in person the feel, texture, and even smells; it’s the details that make a sauna authentically yours. We walk through every material selection with you, with quality options to fit your needs and budget.
Creating a custom sauna includes every area of the build. It’s not just about a big window or a fancy stove. We go through every detail to ensure all your function and esthetic needs are met. This results in you getting your own personalized backyard or mobile home sauna.
Our in-depth design process allows you to see what your custom outdoor sauna will look like before the first board is cut. In some cases, we can even bring you interactive-level design that is viewable from your mobile phone.
Take yourself to the coldest day on the winter North Shore. The blackness of the night while you look out into the -30-degree air. The waves, never-ending voice, were always heard but not seen—the howling of the winds caught in the jagged shore. Stepping into the dim lit warmth, the fire dancing off the window's reflection.
A Sauna on the cliff's edge of Lake Superior transports you to another world. A humbling peace in the shadow of a giant.
A quality mobile sauna combines eight layers of material design to keep in the heat and weather out and moisture-free to leave after you’ve finished your session, all while bringing out the natural beauty of the unique design.
Our saunas start with a sturdy 2×4 frame, exterior OSB, Tyvek, and all-weather metal siding. On the inside, we use insulation on all walls, including the floor if elevated. This is followed by an interior metal heat shield, cedar or pine spacers to prevent moisture traps, and the finished cedar.
For thousands of years, saunas were confined to where they were built. Now, in the heart of Minnesota, mobile saunas offer the ability to get your sweat on wherever the road carries you, from a cliff edge to the shores of the great Lake Superior. Our wood-fire saunas are ideal for anything from post-exercise recovery to vacation destinations to extreme cold plunges. The possibilities are truly endless.
Handcrafted BW mobile saunas offer a real treat for anyone who loves to sauna. It takes everything to a whole new level when you’re able to bring your custom sauna experience to your favorite locations anytime of the day.
We chose steel because it represents the reliability and go-anywhere character of BW Sauna. The last thing you should be thinking about when you enter our saunas is if you damaged the sauna on the road there.
“If your truck can go there, your sauna should too!”
We are about craftsmanship and sourcing quality materials, period: no fluff, no nonsense, just the best possible mobile saunas for sale at a fair price.
Saunas are easy to build to just look good, but water, heat, and steam have a way of separating looks from quality. Some saunas use wood jointing that separates and warps over time. With BW, we bring reinforced jointing and thick wood paneling to ensure your sauna not only feels solid but will keep feeling that way well into its years of use.
-30 degrees out? Some saunas skip out on insulating the floors or not giving proper heat-reflecting coverage in the name of price and weight. When heat is the primary purpose of your sauna, heat should be the top priority. We insulate every last inch to ensure your sauna heats up hotter, faster, and in the coldest conditions.

Mobile saunas are fairly new. They have started to gain popularity in the United States with many trailer sauna delivery options. Mobile saunas can be every bit the heat quality of a home sauna.
Mobile saunas have a wide range of craftsmanship and structural quality. Some factors such as having a steel frame, proper heat shielding and siding make all the difference. Our saunas are designed to last decades if taken care of properly.
If you're passionate about building mobile saunas, that makes the both of us. Yes, it is possible to build your own sauna. It does take good planning and patience to truly get the results you envision. Unlike backyard saunas, mobile saunas will require an understanding in metal works for the trailer frame.
Mobile saunas offer unparalleled ability to get a full relaxation anywhere you wish to go. By the cabin fire or on the ski trip in the rocky mountains. That's what makes mobile so amazing! The biggest benefit of a home sauna is the added value to your property.
We find mobile saunas to work best with authentic wood-fired stoves. However, there are gas options, and even electric options if sufficient battery and solar capacity.
From start to finish we estimate 8 weeks for custom saunas. You can see our shop inventory if we have a sauna prebuilt and ready to order today.
When you start exploring what a custom sauna could look like, you might already have that exact idea in mind: that perfect finish with a wide panorama window. Or something more true to its history, humbly nestled in the lakeside corner. Either way, we hope this catalog offers inspiration for your journey.
