Foundation: Ritual 4-Person
Footprint, foundation rating, and acceptable surfaces for the 4-Person model — note the deck-rating callout.
The 4-Person sauna requires a foundation that supports a loaded weight of 1,985 lbs / 900 kg.
- Footprint
- 82.7 inches × 63 inches (210 cm × 160 cm).
- Foundation rating
- Minimum 1,985 lbs / 900 kg distributed across the footprint.
- Recommended foundation thickness for poured concrete
- 4 inches / 10 cm minimum.
Acceptable surfaces
See Section 4.1 for general principles.
- 4 inch poured concrete slab
- Existing concrete patio rated for similar load
- Wood platform built to support 1,985 lbs distributed
- Deck rated for 1,985 lbs of additional load (a standard residential deck is often rated for 40 to 50 lbs per square foot, which means a deck must explicitly support this load on the footprint area; check with the deck builder or a structural engineer if you're unsure)
For clearance around the unit, see Section 4.11.
