Our Roots Run Deep
Thirty years of cedar craftsmanship has taught us that lasting quality never goes out of style. Each piece is an investment in years of enjoyment.
Who We Are
Since 1998, we’ve been handcrafting cedar hot tubs from select locally milled wood. We’ve since expanded our product lineup to offer a range of barrel saunas, Japanese-inspired soaker tubs, cold plunges, and water cisterns, all designed to bring people closer to nature.
Customers around the globe have told us that our products are the thing they love most about their homes. Giving people a reason to spend more time relaxing and enjoying themselves is what drives us forward every day.
Our workshop is located in the small town of Sooke, on the pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. Surrounded by forests, water and the rugged coastline, we’re constantly reminded of the importance of respecting the environment, here and everywhere.

The Process
For three decades, we've been honing the art of cooperage on Vancouver Island. What began as a passion project has grown into a craft that transforms premium British Columbia cedar into wellness sanctuaries.
Our Method
We start by hand-selecting the finest Western Red Cedar. Each piece is kiln-dried for a few weeks to maximize strength and prevent warping.
Our craftspeople then shape interlocking wooden staves that form watertight seals when secured with stainless steel hoops. Every product is test-fit in our workshop to ensure perfect assembly, then carefully sanded and packed for safe shipping throughout North America and beyond.
Hot tubs and saunas ship flat-packed for straightforward assembly, while soaking tubs and cold plunge tubs arrive just needing the equipment connected.
Built to Last
With proper care, our cedar wellness products can deliver decades of therapeutic enjoyment in your own backyard.

Rooted in BC. Built to Last.
Forestry drives British Columbia’s economy—and our commitment at Forest Cooperage is to craft premium products from local lumber, right here in B.C. We’re proud to support jobs, build with intention, and create beautiful, lasting pieces for years to come.
