How many people can really fit in an 8-person sauna?

An 8 person sauna is genuinely spacious. They are designed with expansive, multi-level benches that can comfortably accommodate eight adults sitting together. This size provides a true social wellness experience, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out without feeling crowded. It's the perfect choice for the ultimate host.

What kind of foundation is required for a sauna this large and heavy?

A sauna of this size and weight requires a robust, perfectly level foundation. A reinforced concrete slab is the most common and highly recommended base to ensure long-term stability. A professionally built, heavy-duty deck can also work, but it is essential to consult with a contractor to ensure it can handle the significant weight of the structure when fully loaded with people.

What are the power requirements for an 8-person sauna?

A large sauna 8 person model requires a powerful, high-output heater to ensure it heats up efficiently. You will need a dedicated 240V circuit, likely with a higher amperage than smaller models. This installation must be performed by a qualified and licensed electrician. Our heater calculator can help you determine the specific kW needs for your chosen model.
