Preparing A Good Foundation - Cal Spas Saunas Owner's Manual

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your retailer has a wealth of information and
experience about how to get the most out of your
sauna. Your sauna retailer also has a full line of
accessories that are designed to complement your
sauna.
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 structure's seal.
NOTE: Damage caused by inadequate or improper
foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It
Outdoor Sauna Dimensions
Below are the recommended foundation sizes for your sauna (outdoor models only).
Compare the dimensions to the width of gates, sidewalks, doorways, hallways, etc. along the delivery route
that will be used when building your sauna in the desired location. It may be necessary for you to remove
some items in order to provide an unobstructed passageway to the installation location.

is the responsibility of the sauna owner to provide a
proper foundation for the sauna.
Place outdoor saunas 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.
If you are installing your sauna on an elevated wood
deck or other structure, it is highly recommended
that you consult a structural engineer or contractor
to ensure the structure will support the weight.
We strongly recommend that a qualified, licensed
contractor prepare the foundation for your sauna.
