Operational Questions

  • It should take around 30-45 minutes to heat up to proper sauna temperature.

  • Before using the sauna, you should consult a physician about any health issues that may be exacerbated by sauna use.

  • You should operate your sauna from 65°C to 80°C for proper sauna temperatures, but feel free to use it at a temperature that is comfortable for you.

  • You should be in the sauna anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes, or once you feel hot enough. Do not over stay in the sauna.

  • The frequency at which you use your sauna is nearly limitless, use it everyday! The thing to be weary of is how long you stay in the sauna and at what temperature. Listen to your body.

  • Using the sauna 3 times per week for a month with a 6kw heater will cost approximately $12.50 per month.

Installation Questions

  • Our saunas are designed to be simple and enjoyable to build by one person. You don’t need to hire a contractor to build the sauna, but you will need an electrician to install the wiring.

  • The tools required are a drill and a mallet. Don’t worry if you don’t have them, we can ship those to you too.

  • The exterior dimensions of the sauna are 100"x145", or 100 sq. ft., an area this size or larger will suffice.

  • The sauna can be built on prepared and leveled pads of either cement or gravel. We do recommend building it on cement.

  • Probably not, but definitely check! Most municipalities do not require a permit for out buildings that are 100. sq. ft. or less.

  • The exterior of the sauna does not need to be treated, cedar is naturally weather resistant and the roof provides plenty of protection.
