How much space do I need for a 5-person sauna?

A 5-person model will have a more substantial footprint than smaller saunas. You'll want to ensure you have a clear, level area of at least 7x7 feet, plus some extra space around it for comfortable access. Always check the specific dimensions on the product page before planning your foundation.

Is it spacious enough for lounging or stretching?

Yes, this is where a 5-person sauna really shines. The extra width and bench space often allow for one or two people to comfortably recline and stretch out, making it a much more luxurious and versatile experience compared to smaller, more compact models.

What kind of heater will I need for this size?

A sauna this size requires a powerful heater to ensure a quick and efficient heat-up time. You will need a dedicated 240V circuit, and the specific heater size (measured in kW) will depend on the sauna's total volume. Our heater sizing calculator can give you a precise recommendation, and the installation must be done by a licensed electrician.
