Final dimensions, loading and construction details must come from the selected sauna documentation and a competent designer or contractor where needed.
Do not select a base from a generic blog detail. Obtain the sauna manufacturer's current foundation drawing and combine it with a site assessment of soil, slope, drainage and access.
What the base must achieve
It should provide stable, level support at the required points, manage water away from vulnerable timber and remain accessible for installation and maintenance.
Common approaches
Project proposals may use a slab, paving system, ground screws, piers or another designed foundation. Suitability depends on loads, support layout and ground conditions.
Coordinate before building
Resolve finished height, steps, cable or pipe routes, drainage, anchoring and exact footprint before work starts. Photograph concealed services.
Frequently asked questions
Can a garden sauna sit on paving slabs?
Only if the complete base is suitable for the model, loads and site. Confirm the manufacturer's support requirements and obtain competent advice.
