Rubber mallet
Hammer
Two adjustable wrenches
Measuring tape

Choose the Right Location

Select a stable, level location with sufficient clearance for assembly and access. Be sure the area allows for proper drainage and has convenient access to electricity. Thoughtful site selection helps ensure safe operation and long-term durability.

Check Local Building Requirements

Depending on your location, a building permit or HOA approval may be required to build a sauna. Always check local regulations before installation.

Hire an Electrician

A trusted licensed electrician must be hired to install your sauna heater. Sauna heaters do not plug in to standard outlets and must be hardwired to your electrical panel.

Build a Solid Foundation

A solid, level base is essential for the longevity and performance of your sauna and cold plunge. 

For Saunas 

Recommended foundation types include: 

Concrete pad
Solid deck or reinforced platform 
Compacted gravel base 
Level stone or paver patio

The foundation must support the full weight of the sauna and all occupants. 

It is recommended to put down a moisture barrier such as a polyurethane sheet or epoxy sealant under the base to protect the sauna from premature ware.  

For Cold Plunges
