About this sauna
Vim's Oblique is a modern outdoor sauna with a steep angled roof, built from 4 inch cross-laminated timber walls lined with western red cedar. Vim calls it the first sauna in North America built from CLT with a cedar interior. It starts at $26,950 for the Oblique Four.
The solid walls hold heat for a steady, enveloping löyly, and the panels are light enough to carry in, so the maker says it can be assembled in a day on remote sites. Cladding runs from black spruce to Corten steel, and both sizes use a 9 kW heater with Wi-Fi control.

Questions people ask before buying
How does buying from Vim work?
You reserve with a 10% deposit, which the maker says is fully refundable before production. Vim then sends a final quote with the delivery window and shipping at cost, and the 90% balance starts production.
Where is it made?
Vim's product pages do not say where the saunas are built, so we do not list an origin. The cedar lining is described as western red cedar from Canada.
Can I order it through Brevley & Sons?
Not directly yet. Use the maker link for current pricing and lead time, or ask us about sizing, power and placement.
Who do I order from, and who handles warranty?
You order directly from Vim, and warranty claims go to Vim. We help you plan before you order and are here if questions come up after.
