Site Prep

Our sauna bases are built using all green treated lumber so while you can set them directly on level ground, we recommend a little prep work in advance to get the most out of your sauna. There are a couple of great options depending on your budget, both will serve you well.

Gravel Base vs Concrete Slab

Foundation Choices for Your Sauna

Our sauna bases, crafted from high-quality green treated lumber, are designed for direct placement on level ground. However, a bit of preparation can significantly enhance your sauna’s longevity and performance. Here are two foundational options to consider:

Gravel Base

Check out siteprep.com, they give a detailed step-by-step to achieve fantastic results. This will yield a strong, well draining base that will keep your sauna looking and operating like new for years to come.

Concrete Slab

For unmatched durability, a reinforced concrete slab of at least 4 inches thick is recommended. This foundation minimizes the risk of cracking and provides a solid, level base for your sauna.
