Foundations
Pay attention to potential maintenance activities when choosing where to install the sauna. The
warranty does not cover any indirect costs, such as the demolition or construction of terraces.
Before building a foundation, it is also good to prepare for the drainage of water from the sauna
to its final location (the sauna already has its own drainage installed).

Make sure that the ground on which the sauna
is placed is stable. If necessary, the base of the
sauna can be evened out with stone chippings or
a concrete casting can be made under the modu-
les.
If you want to insulate the base, we recommend
placing at least 5–10 cm of ground frost insula-
tion under the gravel, which effectively cuts off
the thermal bridge to the cold ground under-
neath.
Never place the sauna directly on the
ground.
Screw piles
There are various sizes, lengths and types of screw piles
on the market. The selection is wide, because the choice of
screw pile is also influenced by other things than the size and
load capacity of the screw pile.
The appropriate model is selected according to the type of soil
and the depth of the frost line.
You can install screw piles yourself, but ask a professional for
advice on choosing a suitable model.
