Canadian Timber Collection
Eastern White Cedar shares the same natural resistance to moisture and decay as Western Red Cedar, with a lighter colour, tighter grain, and subtler aroma that a lot of people actually prefer. It's locally sourced from Ontario mills and shaped in the same factory that builds every Dundalk product - same tools, same team, same construction methods. The difference is the wood and the price.
The sauna lineup covers the shapes most people are looking for. The Harmony, Serenity, and Tranquility barrel saunas seat four to six with solid cedar cradles and 20-inch wide benches. The Elation barrel sauna adds a solid wood flat floor and cedar bevel siding with wider 23-inch benches. The Georgian cabin sauna features Ontario-sourced metal shingles - 28-gauge steel sourced locally - for a roof that's as Canadian as the wood underneath it. The CT Luna brings the same signature rounded profile as the Dundalk Luna, and the CT MiniPOD delivers the raindrop shape with a triple-layered roof of cedar planks, ice and water shield, and black asphalt shingles.
What makes this collection especially appealing is that it extends across the entire product line. The Starlight wood-burning hot tub uses white cedar skirting designed to visually match the saunas. The Polar and Baltic cold plunge tubs and the new Flow Cold Plunge with its concealed chiller compartment cover cold therapy at every budget. The Sierra and Savannah outdoor showers complete the picture - a full backyard wellness setup where every piece looks like it belongs together.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What's the difference between the Canadian Timber and Dundalk collections?
The wood. Canadian Timber uses Eastern White Cedar - lighter in colour, subtler in aroma, and more affordable. Dundalk uses Western Red Cedar - richer, more aromatic, and with slightly higher natural oil content. Both are built in the same Ontario factory with identical construction methods, hardware, and assembly process.
Does everything in the Canadian Timber Collection match?
Yes. The white cedar skirting and design language are consistent across saunas, hot tubs, cold plunges, and outdoor showers. The Starlight hot tub, for example, uses white cedar skirting specifically designed to match the rest of the collection.
Is Eastern White Cedar as durable as Western Red Cedar?
Both cedars are naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and insects. Western Red Cedar has slightly higher natural oil content, which gives it an edge in extreme conditions over very long periods. But Eastern White Cedar holds up well through Canadian winters and is backed by LeisureCraft's 3-year warranty.
Why are the lead times shorter on Canadian Timber products?
Eastern White Cedar is sourced locally from Ontario mills, which shortens the supply chain compared to Western Red Cedar sourced from British Columbia. This often translates to faster production and delivery.
