If you’ve been dreaming of adding a sauna, cold plunge or wood-burning hot tub to your backyard oasis, there’s one name you need to know: Leisurecraft. What started as a small family business in Canada making cedar patio furniture has now grown into one of the leading names in wellness-focused outdoor living products around the globe.
Whether you’re looking to boost your relaxation, elevate your wellness routine with contrast therapy or simply enjoy more time outside year-round, Leisurecraft offers stunning, sustainably made products to transform your space.
From humble beginnings to global reach
Located about two hours north of Toronto, Leisurecraft was founded in 2004 as a two-person operation making handcrafted outdoor cedar furniture. But the company didn’t stop there. As demand grew, so did the product line — including the introduction of outdoor cedar saunas, which quickly became a customer favorite.
Now, 20 years later, Leisurecraft has evolved into a full-fledged lifestyle brand offering:
- Outdoor and indoor sauna kits
- Cold plunges
- Wood-burning hot tubs
- Outdoor showers
- Beautiful, durable outdoor furniture
Each item is crafted with care from sustainably sourced Canadian wood, including premium Western red cedar, and built by a team of skilled local carpenters.
Wellness meets sustainability
One of the standout features of Leisurecraft products is their seamless blend of wellness and sustainability. As the popularity of contrast therapy (alternating between hot and cold exposure) grows, so does the appeal of combining a sauna with a cold plunge. Leisurecraft makes this easy and beautiful to achieve in your own backyard.
“Through a commitment to quality craftsmanship, innovation and customer feedback, we have become Canada’s leading manufacturer of saunas and leisure products, dedicated to delivering premium quality and exceptional service,” says Mark Boulding, vice president of marketing and growth at Leisurecraft.
Beyond just looking good, Leisurecraft products are designed to last — and to tread lightly on the planet. From solar-powered features to responsibly sourced wood, every element supports a sustainable lifestyle.
Loved by retailers and customers alike
Dealers across North America are seeing strong demand for Leisurecraft products — and not just from new customers. Even longtime hot tub owners are discovering these saunas for the first time, thanks to their eye-catching and elegant designs.
“Although we’ve carried saunas for over 30 years, our displays of small click-together indoor rooms hardly seemed to register with our customer base,” says Max Blaser, general manager at Mountain Hot Tub. “So much so that after we began displaying Leisurecraft barrels, pods and Pure Cube rooms across our locations, we had multiple longtime customers comment, ‘When did you start carrying saunas?’”
For retailers in places like Alaska, the connection to the outdoors is even more powerful.
“Alaskans live for the outdoors,” says Kali Bennett, second-generation owner of The Waterworks in Anchorage, Alaska. “Many of our clients have experienced magical nights under the northern lights while relaxing in their saunas. Their timeless styles complement the unique architecture of Alaskan homes, making it easy for clients to continue their quest for wellness.”
Built to support a lifestyle, not just a purchase
While the aesthetics and quality are clear, what really sets Leisurecraft apart is their dedication to supporting a full wellness lifestyle — not just selling a product. As Boulding puts it, “We are increasing our brand presence and focused not just on selling products but shaping a wellness lifestyle.”
This includes ongoing product development, like a new sauna design coming later this year, as well as technology upgrades that improve the customer experience.
Plus, because the products are only available through authorized retailers — and not through big-box e-commerce sites — you’ll always receive expert guidance and support for your specific setup.
Despite global supply chain challenges, Leisurecraft has invested in technology and partnerships to ensure smooth operations and high-quality materials. With an ERP system, custom shipping software, and strong relationships with lumber mills, they’ve stayed ahead of the curve — and demand is still growing.
Elevate your backyard with Leisurecraft
Whether you’re new to sauna bathing or looking to add a cold plunge or hot tub to your existing space, Leisurecraft offers beautifully designed, sustainable options that are made to last. Their commitment to craftsmanship, wellness and customer service makes them a standout brand for anyone ready to invest in their health and relaxation.
