Hemlock 1x6 Vertical Grain Board

Description

This vertical-grain hemlock board is milled to a true 1x6 profile with smooth faces and eased edges on all four sides — a finish that matters inside a sauna because it eliminates the sharp arris that can splinter under repeated heat and humidity cycles. Vertical grain also moves far less seasonally than flat-sawn lumber, so panels and benching stay tight over years of use.

Available in four lengths — 1', 7', 8', and 9' — so you can order precisely what your layout requires and minimize off-cuts. The 1-foot pieces are particularly useful for filling courses around vents, heater guards, and door framing where a full board would go almost entirely to waste.

Key Features

• Vertical grain orientation reduces seasonal movement, keeping joints and panel gaps consistent through repeated heat and cool-down cycles.
• S4SEE (smooth 4 sides, eased edges) milling removes sharp corners on all four faces, reducing splinter risk on benches and wall surfaces that are touched bare-handed.
• Hemlock is a stable, low-resin wood well suited to sauna interiors where pitch bleed from higher-resin species can become a surface and odor issue.
• Four available lengths (1', 7', 8', 9') let you match board runs to your room dimensions and reduce material waste at headers, sills, and vents.

1'

• Short length ideal for accent courses, filler pieces around vents and heater guards, and tight framing details where a longer board would create excessive off-cut waste.

7'

• Suits lower ceiling heights or horizontal runs where an 8' board would require trimming, keeping more usable material on the wall.

8'

• Standard length aligns with common stud spacing and ceiling heights, simplifying layout math for full wall and ceiling installations.

9'

• Extended length reduces the number of end joints needed in longer runs, producing a cleaner finished appearance on ceiling and upper wall panels.

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.
