Modern Scandinavian Design
The Terassi Mini Sauna pairs clean lines with three large tempered glass windows measuring 653 × 1782 mm and a full glass door, creating a bright, open atmosphere. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or hosting a relaxing evening with friends, the Terassi Mini Sauna brings a spa retreat just steps from your back door.
Insulation-Ready Roof
The Terassi Mini Sauna includes interior roof finishing boards, giving you the option to add insulation for even better thermal efficiency. Insulation materials and a vapour barrier are not included and can be sourced locally to suit your climate and preferences.
Premium Aspen Interior
The benches, skirt, and backrest are made of knotless Aspen, a smooth, comfortable wood that stays pleasant to the touch at sauna temperatures.
Scandinavian Nordic Spruce
Spruce is a great choice for any kind of sauna. Its quality rustic look, with small tight knots, is traditional and beautiful, and it has long been the wood of choice in Finland and across Europe. When kept outside, Spruce should be stained or painted, similar to a deck or garden shed, to keep it in top condition for many years.
- Lighter Colour: Gives the sauna a cleaner, more spacious feel and a contemporary look.
- Less Discoloration: With normal cleaning, Spruce keeps its original colour instead of turning gray or black.
- Sustainably Sourced: Classified as “least concern” by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
- Proven Quality: The vast majority of saunas in Scandinavia and Europe are built from Spruce.

TOULE
Available in 6 kW & 9 kW Models: $786 – $949 CAD
For the price point vs quality, it doesn't get much better than this! This heater is the best bang for your buck both in its reliability and the features of this specific model (off-board digital controls, timers, etc.).

HARVIA KIP
Available in 6 kW & 8 kW Models: $1 199 – $1 399 CAD
Harvia has been the biggest name in sauna heaters for over 70 years! The Harvia FLB model, made by Harvia in Finland, is a traditional Finnish-style wall-mounted sauna heater. What this one lacks in special and aesthetic features; it makes up for in heat and getting the job done.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|

Harvia Cilindro
The Harvia Cilindro heater, known for its unique design featuring a massive stone quantity, offers a blend of gentle and powerful steam options. It's ideal for those seeking a versatile sauna experience, capable of creating a traditional sauna atmosphere with the convenience of electric heating.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
With its modern yet traditional functionality, the Harvia Cilindro is perfect for sauna users who enjoy customizing their sauna sessions with varying steam intensity, all while adding a touch of elegance to their sauna space.
HUUM HIVE CLIFF
Available in 6 kW, 9 kW, or 10.5 kW Models
Want a lot of thermal mass but still have a quicker heat-up time? That’s exactly what the HUUM CLIFF delivers. Its tall, open column exposes every stone directly to the elements, so the 165 lb rock load races to temperature faster than bulkier heaters with even more stone. The result is a rich, wood-fired feel powered by clean, reliable electricity—with far less waiting around before you step inside. Sleek, sculptural, and space-saving, the CLIFF turns your sauna wall into an eye-catching accent while surrounding you in deep, lingering warmth.

HUUM HIVE MINI
Available in 6 kW, 9 kW, or 10.5 kW Models
These are one of our best sellers! The HUUM line of products offers a more traditional sauna experience by limiting metal and increasing total rock surface area. This provides a closer wood-fired experience with the reliability of electricity. Many of our customers prefer the design of the HUUM as it is an accent piece against the backdrop of your high-quality wood sauna.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
HUUM DROP
Available in 6 kW and 9 kW Models
Very similar to the HUUM Hive and HUUM Hive Mini. The HUUM Drop offers a round design that softens and livens up the angular interior of a classic sauna, giving it a touch of elegance. But DROP isn’t only about the looks. This compact wall-mounted heater can actually fit up to 55 kg of stones, exceeding most wood-burning stoves and guaranteeing long-lasting steam.

Customer Reviews
While a barrel sauna may be more efficient, what I love most is being able to see outside as I sweat it out in my cozy burrow, especially in the long Canadian winters. The Terrassi is easy to put together, although it was a couple of days for us as we're not the most experienced carpenters. If you're in Canada, please do not neglect to insulate the floor and roof. This is one of the compromises with this type of sauna, it's not as well insulated as a barrel. We're in the Ottawa Valley, and the base heater is just adequate, next time I think I'll go a level up to ensure we can really power through cold temperatures, especially with the glass door which doesn't seal very well. The door is the one weak spot, be very careful with it as the wind caught it and we had to replace the hinges. We stapled strips of carpet along the door frame to seal it up better. There's no lighting kit, so that's something to consider as well. There's lots of cheap led lighting kits you can get off of Amazon that can make it really bougie, and if you're installing a sauna in your yard isn't that what you're going for after all? Apart from those minor issues with the door, we absolutely love the look and feel of the sauna, couldn't be happier. Don't be afraid to reach out to Backcountry for support either, they've been fantastic.
Built in a weekend, up and operational! Wood Stove (Harvia M3) was easy to light and made 170°F in about an hour. Great view out to the lake, lots of use already. Great kit including some spare pieces only drawback was dimensions in the Installation guide are mainly metric and only partial English units made assembly a little less straight forward.
Absolutely love my new Terassi Mini sauna! The quality is amazing, and the thermowood design looks beautiful. Shipping was fast, and the team was so helpful with setup tips. It's now my favorite way to relax after a long day!
