Buildouts

Every buildout we offer.

Every buildout is everything a working room needs: the cabin, the heater with its controller and stones, delivery, the build, and our support after it. Grouped by format, with a page per format on what it asks of your site. Open a buildout and bring the questions to a specialist.

We are sanctuary builders, not a catalog you scroll. We source quality products that we stand behind, for you, not for the brand, and the recommendation comes from your site, your climate, your household, and how you intend to use the room. Start wherever the format makes sense to you, and we will tell you honestly if a different one fits better.

Member pricing is quoted directly with a specialist. Specifications and availability are confirmed during your consultation.

Quick answers

What does a barrel sauna sit on?

A barrel can sit on its own cradle supports, or on compacted gravel, a concrete pad, pavers, or a deck platform. All of them work as long as the surface is level, stable, and draining, and which one is right depends on your grade, your soil, and how water moves across the yard. Your specialist walks the site and settles it before anything is ordered.

Does a cube work on a deck?

Yes, and it is a placement we build. A deck platform is one of the four bases we work with, alongside compacted gravel, a concrete pad, and pavers, and our published Boulder work includes a cube on a deck platform our own crew built. What matters is how the deck was built and what it was built to carry, so your specialist looks at the structure, the drainage underneath, and the access route before anything is ordered.

Can a sauna go in a basement?

Basements are one of the most common indoor placements we build into. Ceiling height, the floor, ventilation, clearances, and the electrical path are the things we look at, and your specialist will assess them on site.

How is infrared different from a traditional sauna?

Infrared saunas do not heat the air around you. They use panels that emit light, absorbed through your skin, heating your body directly. An infrared room reaches roughly 130 degrees Fahrenheit and above, where a traditional room reaches roughly 170 degrees Fahrenheit in about an hour. The two feel quite different, and most members know which they prefer within one session.

How do you size a heater?

Sizing depends on the volume of the room, its glass, its insulation, your climate, the placement, and how you intend to use the room. It is a conversation with a specialist rather than a number from a chart, and it is one of the reasons we do not publish sizing figures.

The sauna is the easy part.

The site, the power, the build, and the years that follow are the project, and that is the part we handle. We represent you, not the manufacturers.

  • “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

  • “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
