Dundalk Leisurecraft Sauna FAQ

Assembly

Do Dundalk Leisurecraft saunas come pre-assembled?

Dundalk LeisureCraft saunas come as pre-fabricated kits to be assembled. The kits are designed for easy assembly and come with all necessary parts and an instruction manual.

Is the assembly process easy?

It is a straightforward process for 2 adults. We have helpful videos and manuals on each product page guiding you through each step of the assembly to ensure safety and proper functioning of your sauna. It takes approximately 6-8 hours to build depending on your level of handiness.

What kind of base should I put the sauna on?

It needs to be strong enough to support the weight of the sauna, the people inside, and potentially the weight of ice and snow in winter, depending on your location.

Here are a few options for what you can place an outdoor sauna on:

  1. Concrete Slab: A concrete slab is an excellent base for an outdoor sauna. It provides a firm, level surface that is resistant to moisture and rot. It also spreads the weight of the sauna evenly, reducing the risk of sinking or tilting.
  2. Paved Patio: Pavers are also a good option for a sauna base. They provide a firm and level surface, and they can also be quite attractive. However, it's important to make sure the pavers are properly installed and leveled to prevent any movement.
  3. Deck: If you're placing the sauna on a deck, ensure the deck is strong enough to support the weight. You may need to reinforce the deck, or place the sauna near a load-bearing post.
  4. Crushed Stone or Gravel: These materials can provide good drainage and a solid base for a sauna. You'll need to create a bordered area to contain the material and ensure it's leveled off before installing the sauna. However, it may not be as stable as a hard surface like concrete.
  5. Wooden Platform: A pressure-treated wooden platform can also be a good option, as long as it is sturdy and level. Keep in mind that wood can decay over time, especially in damp conditions.

Whichever base you choose, it's important to ensure it's level, as an uneven base can cause stress to the structure of the sauna, leading to damage over time. Additionally, consider the location of your sauna for easy access, potential views, and privacy.

Sauna Facts

How hot do Dundalk Saunas get?

Dundalk Leisurecraft saunas get to 190° Fahrenheit and up, depending on the conditions outside the sauna. We recommend starting at 140° Fahrenheit and working your way up to find the temperature that suits you

How long will it take to get to my desired temperature?

It takes approximately 30-45 minutes to reach max temperature. This can vary based on the size of sauna and external temperatures.

What is the cost to run a Dundalk Leisurecraft sauna?

To estimate the cost of running a sauna, you need to know its power rating in kilowatts (kW) and the cost of electricity in your area.

Saunas typically range from 1.5 to 2.5 kW for their smaller saunas (1-3 persons), and up to 3.0 kW for larger ones (4+ persons). Let's consider an example with a sauna using 2.0 kW.

Assuming the average cost of electricity is $0.13 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and you use your sauna for one hour each day, the cost of running your sauna would be:

2.0 kW * 1 hour * $0.13 per kWh = $0.26

So, it would cost roughly 26 cents for each hour of use. Over a month (30 days), this adds up to $7.80.

Remember, this is a rough estimate. The actual cost can vary based on the specific model of your sauna, your local electricity rates, and how frequently and how long you use the sauna.

Can I stain or paint my Sauna?

You can stain or paint the outside of you sauna, do not put anything on the inside. Any semi-transparent outdoor stain will work, Sikkens is a very good product to use.

How will my sauna be delivered?

The freight company handling your sauna will call you to arrange a delivery time. The sauna will be delivered in a crate varying in weight from 800-1600 pounds to the bottom of your driveway.

There are 2 general methods people use to get the sauna to their desired location:

  1. Unload the sauna pieces on the truck until the crate is light enough to be carried. The larger your crew the better!
  2. Rent a tilt tow truck to pick up the sauna from the delivery terminal to bring to their desired location.
