Setri Barrel Saunas is a family-owned American sauna manufacturer handcrafting custom cedar saunas in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. With more than seven years of sauna building and over 45 years of carpentry experience, we bring skilled craftsmanship and a lifelong appreciation for sauna to every build. Our Minnesota-raised owners grew up enjoying saunas and understand the tradition, relaxation, and connection they bring to everyday life.
Our saunas are enjoyed by families throughout Minnesota and across the country, as well as professional athletes competing in the UFC, Bellator, professional boxing, and other sports. Whether we’re building for a backyard retreat or an athlete’s home, we put the same care and pride into every sauna.
Alongside our signature barrel saunas, we now offer the Nordheim square sauna, combining a spacious design with the craftsmanship Setri is known for. Each sauna is custom built from premium cedar, valued for its natural beauty, rich aroma, and resistance to moisture, decay, and insects. Thoughtful ventilation, drainage, durable roofing, and carefully selected materials help ensure years of enjoyment.
From our Minnesota workshop to your backyard, Setri builds saunas rooted in tradition and made to be part of your life.
