Budgeting Information


What is included?

Our base prices are for a complete, weather tight structure with all assembly hardware, benches, flooring, roofing, doors, etc. They do not include a heater, shipping, or any costs for the pad preparation or installation.

Heater Budget Costs

Whether you are supplying your own Sauna heater or including it in your package from Ennadai, there are additional costs for both wood and electric heaters that need to be budgeted for. For our current heater pricing, please see our Store. In addition, keep these costs in mind:

  • Wood heaters will require a vent kit (see our Store) as well as installation by a WETT certified contractor (or equivalent, depending on jurisdiction). Contact a local fireplace supplier to get a budget for this

  • Electric heaters will require a licensed contractor to install an additional circuit in your electrical panel, cable installation to the sauna, and connection to the heater. Contact a local electrical contractor for a quote.

Shipping

We have account pricing with several transcontinental shipping companies, and we pass these costs on direct to you with no markup. Due to the size of these sauna packages, shipping rates are quoted individually and vary based on sauna model, delivery location, what kind of offload equipment is available, and other factors. A realistic range of prices is below, current as of June 2024:

AB $1,235 - $2,516

BC $1,062 - $2,363

PE $1,679 - $2,940

Pad Preparation

To ensure a long life for this structure, it should be installed on a level, well draining surface. Our kits ship with small rubber riser blocks to keep the structure from direct contact with the ground. The pad preparation is up to you, but some popular options are:

  • 3-4” concrete slab

  • compacted gravel

  • treated wood

  • sonotubes (one at each corner)

If you are willing to supply the labour yourself, these pads do not represent a significant cost. We recommend checking with your local hardware store or local landscaping contractors to establish a budget.

Installation

As detailed in our Assembly page, our kits are usually a two-day, two-person affair. If you can convince your friends or family to help out, then we recommend a budget in line with local pizza prices. If you are looking for assistance with the installation, we have some options:

  • hire a local install specialist (we are working to expand this list, please reach out for up to date options)

  • Within reasonable travel distances, one of Ennadai’s sauna experts can deliver your kit and stick around to provide guidance during the build (we would still require an additional person for assistance). Budget $1800 + mileage for two days, which includes hotels and per diems. With this option no additional shipping costs would be incurred

  • For a full package install, Ennadai can send a crew of two with the sauna kit and get it assembled with no buyer assistance required. Budget $3600 + mileage for two days, which includes hotels and per diems. With this option no additional shipping costs would be incurred
