Description

This Western Red Cedar 2x4 is vertical grain, Clear Grade A+, and smooth on all four sides with eased edges — a specification that matters when every surface in a sauna is visible and subject to heat, moisture, and skin contact. Vertical grain orientation means the growth rings run perpendicular to the face of the board, which reduces expansion and contraction across the width and gives you a tighter, more uniform appearance than flat-sawn material.

Available in fourteen lengths from 1 foot through 20 feet, these boards are sized to minimize waste whether you are building benches, wall paneling, trim details, or structural framing elements inside a sauna enclosure. The S4SEE profile — smooth four sides, eased edges — means no additional milling is required before installation.

Key Features

• Western Red Cedar species — natural oils provide inherent moisture resistance, reducing the risk of warping and cupping through repeated sauna heat and steam cycles
• Vertical Grain (VG) orientation — growth rings run perpendicular to the face, giving the board more uniform dimensional movement and a tighter, more consistent surface texture than flat-sawn cedar
• Clear Grade A+ — knot-free faces eliminate the heat concentration points that knots create, keeping bench and floor surfaces safe and uniform against bare skin
• S4SEE mill finish (Smooth 4 Sides, Eased Edges) — all four faces are planed smooth and corners are lightly broken, so the material is ready to fasten without additional prep work
• 2x4 nominal profile — a proven thickness and width for sauna bench tops, bench skirts, and floor slats, balancing structural rigidity with the material's natural lightness
• Available in 14 lengths from 1 to 20 feet — order by the piece in the exact lengths your project requires, reducing offcuts and material waste

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Sauna wood is not free shipping. Length, piece count, profile, and weight set the rate. These are the Bathing Brands contiguous-US flat rates. Canada is the same table plus $100. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote addresses are quoted.

Checkout charges the 8' piece-count table (contiguous US). Canada is the same table plus $100. Boards over 8' use that same checkout rate; dock or liftgate extras are a follow-up. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote addresses are quoted.

BOARDS UP TO 8'

Under 40 pieces generally ships FedEx Ground in cardboard. Over 40 pieces generally ships LTL with a liftgate on a wood pallet. The longest board in the order sets the rate tier.

• Under 19 boards — $195
• 20–39 boards — $395
• 40–99 boards — $495
• 100–299 boards — $695
• 300–499 boards — $895
• 500–799 boards — $995
• 800–999 boards — $1,295

BOARDS OVER 8' UP TO 10'

These lengths ship LTL on a wood pallet. They do not qualify for a liftgate — you need a dock, machinery, or hand offload on site. Carriers allow about one hour to unload before extra fees.

• Under 19 boards — $295
• 20–39 boards — $495
• 40–99 boards — $595
• 100–299 boards — $795
• 300–499 boards — $995
• 500–799 boards — $1,095
• 800–999 boards — $1,395

HOW THIS SHIPS

• We pack for a safe arrival at the lowest rate that fits the order.
• Boards over 8' carry a surcharge because long crates cost more to move than a standard skid.
• Heaters, doors, or accessories on the same order can offset some of that freight.
