Welcome to the Somero Sauna Website

Sauna originated in Finland as the first dwelling for a young married couple. The newlyweds began married life in the well heated environment, gave birth to their first children, and raised the family in the sauna while building a more spacious and permanent dwelling during the long days of the brief Finnish summer.

The American-Finn owners of Somero Sauna emerge from this deep history to produce a modern outdoor sauna kit that provides healthy relaxation for the mind and body. In their shared Finnish history, families would nestle safely in the sauna during long, dark days of arctic winter. In today’s world, our customers close the door on the hectic pace of the world and relax while they sit in a hot Somero sauna.

People who are buying Somero Saunas are asking…

• What’s so special about a Somero sauna?
• Should I stoke it with sticks, or flip a switch?
• Where should I locate the sauna on my property?
• How much does your entry level model cost?
• Great! How do I get started?

A Coop for Cape Ann

A few of us Somero’s delivered three coops last Saturday to the Blue Seal Store in Derry, NH and we are waiting for our first direct customer from Cape Ann, MA to coordinate pickup.

Diversity: Backyard Chicken Coops

Raymond left today for a year-long construction assignment in Afghanistan, so his son and I diversified into backyard chicken coops.

A 4 to 6 chicken coop (3′ x 4′) sells for $495 and a coop for up to 12 hens (3′ x 8′) sells for $735. The coops are sized for delivery in a pickup truck.

Contact us and we will send you a brochure with more details.

Chimney System

Ray and I installed a chimney system with weather-proof flashing. We only have a few more steps before our customer can light the woodstove for the first time!

If you see 878 in the phone number, hire them!

The concrete in the sauna floor cured long enough so I set the stove in place today and this afternoon I’m working on a tile board to set into the porch in front of the wood stove door.

On my way home, I picked up a computer at my aunt’s to do a check-up on and gave her information about the Somero Sauna business. She loved it!

She smiles with delight, ‘You know they always say, if you see 878 in the phone number, hire them!’

I like the marketing message, and although it is a bit outdated in today’s world with cellphone numbers, the message speaks clearly to the pride that the tradesmen in New Ipswich have for doing well for our customers.

Concrete is Curing

Yesterday we mixed five and a half 80 pound bags of quickcrete for the floor in the sauna.

Since we’re building this sauna in the cold weather, we have a small electric heater going to prevent freezing.

Ray finished the roof and we’re ready to install the stove and chimney system after the floor cures long enough.

Almost done!
