Project Specifications & Guidance
Level Support
A barrel sauna weighs approx. 600-800 lbs empty. We recommend a level concrete slab, compacted gravel base (4-6" deep), or reinforced wooden deck. Do not place directly on grass.
220V Dedicated
Requires a dedicated 220V-240V, 30-40 Amp double-pole GFCI breaker. Must be hardwired by a certified electrician using outdoor-rated conduit.
Clearances
Sauna dimensions are 94.48 x 70.86 x 70.86 inches. Allow at least 2 feet of clearance around all sides for barrel bands adjustment and airflow. Make sure there are no low-hanging trees above.
Sealing & Care
Apply a high-quality UV-inhibiting, water-repellent sealant to the outer wood surfaces immediately after assembly. Never apply stain or sealer to the inside walls or benches.
Action Checklist0 / 5 Done
Zoning Note: Most cities allow saunas under 120 sq ft without a building permit, but setbacks from property fences (usually 3-5 ft) are still enforced.
