PREPARING A GOOD FOUNDATION
Your sauna needs a solid and level foundation. The area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the
sauna and the occupants who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the sauna is in
place, causing stress that could alter the structures seal.
NOTE
:
Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It is the
responsibility of the sauna owner to provide a proper foundation for the sauna.
Place the sauna on an elevated foundation (preferrably a 3” concrete slab). If you are installing the sauna indoors,
pay close attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring that won’t be spoiled or stained.
Below are the recommended foundation sizes for your sauna (
