Thank you for purchasing a SaunaLife outdoor sauna!
1. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The base or foundation for the Sauna must be leveled and stable. The Sauna must be at least 3 inches higher from the surrounding ground. All base beams must have a support under them.
Recommendation: We recommend placing the Sauna on concrete blocks or strips that have a compressed gravel underneath. Using geotextile under the Sauna prevents the growth of grass and weed. It is also possible to place the Sauna on terrace or pavement, but the Sauna should still be higher than the surface.
Base Beam Layout Diagram Description: A top-down view illustrating the placement of base beams for the sauna foundation. It shows dimensions for the front, back, and sides, indicating a grid of nine support beams. The overall dimensions are approximately 8' 9 3/4" (width) by 6' 7 3/8" (depth).
