Madison Installation & Owner’s Manual
Thank you for your purchase of your Madison sauna! Should you have any questions during assembly,
please feel free to call us at 888.355.3050, or email [e-mail]. Regular business hours are
9-5 EST, M-F.
Your Madison Indoor Sauna is specically designed to utilize your existing oor. As such, assembly is made
very simple since the entire sauna sits on pre-fabricated rails and risers. Your sauna can be assembled on
any surface that is rm and at, including concrete, ceramic, vinyl, laminate or tile. Installation on a carpeted
surface is not recommended.
Your Madison kit should include the following:

Step 1. Connect the Four Floor Risers
Fasten the four oor risers together using the predrilled holes as a guide, being sure the two shorter boards are located on the
sides and the two longer boards are on the front and back. Use a framing square to ensure the assembly is square. (1-3)
Step 2. Position Wall Support Rails
Align each wall support so that the angled cuts make a corner, placing the shorter supports on the sides and the longer supports
on the front and back. Each wall support has a predrilled hole. Fasten the front, back and sides together and lay the assembly
squarely on top of the oor risers with the groove facing up. The rails should overlap both sides of the riser by approximately 1”.
Secure the assembly to the oor risers using three screws evenly spaced on each wall support rail. (4-10)
Step 3. Position Wall Sections A & B
Position wall section A in the groove of the left rail and push it ush against the back rail. Having a helper hold wall section A,
orient wall section B so that the vent holes are on top and place it in the groove of the back rail. Push the at edge ush against
wall section A. Align the two panels so they are ush and fasten them together using the 2”screws. (11-13)

Step 4. Position Wall Sections C & D
Position wall section C into the groove of the back rail. Attach it to wall section B by way of the tongue and groove t. Position wall
section D on the side rail, pushing it ush against the back rail. Align the two panels so they are ush and fasten them together
using the 2” screws. (14-16)
Step 5. Position Wall Sections E & F
Position wall section E on the side rail, orienting it so the vent holes are at the bottom, and the footrest support is on the interior
of the sauna room. Attach it to wall section D by way of the tongue and groove t. Next, position wall section F on the front rail,
pushing it ush against wall section E and securing it in place with 2” screws. (17-19)
Step 6. Position Door Section G and Wall sections H and I
Position door section G onto the front rail, attaching it to wall section F by way of the tongue and groove t. Next, position wall
section H on the front rail and attach to door section G by way of the tongue and groove t. Finally, position wall I on the side rail,
and attach it to wall section A by way of the tongue and groove t. Secure it to wall section H with 2” screws. (20-23) Note: Your
door may be dierent than what is pictured.

Step 7. Assemble and Position Roof Support Rails
Align each roof support rail so the angled cuts join together to make a 90-degree angle, placing the shorter supports on the sides
and the longer supports on the front and back. Fasten them together using 2” screws through the predrilled holes.
Place the assembly on top of the wall sections so that the wall sections t snugly into the groove. When in place, secure the
assembly to the walls using three 2”screws on each rail. (24-26)
Step 8. Position Roof Panels and Trim
Align the two roof panels so they are centered on the roof support rails with the pre-drilled holes facing up. Secure them to the
support rails through the pre-drilled holes using 2” screws. Next, use the provided trim nails to secure the trim pieces to the raw
edges of the roof panels (27-28)
Step 9. Bench, Footrest, and Backrest Assembly
Place the upper bench on the pre-installed upper bench supports and push ush against the back wall, being sure the sides with
the supports are against the walls. Secure the bench to the back and side panels using 2.5”bench screws and the predrilled holes
in the bench frame supports. (29,30)

Next, position the footrest by resting it on the supports on each side of the sauna. Secure each side of the footrest to the support
using 2.5” screws through the pre-drilled holes on the top and front of the foot rest. (31-33)
For the nal step of the bench and footrest assembly, locate the lower side bench and cleat with pre-drilled holes. Position the
side bench against the footrest so that the top of the bench is ush with the footrest. Secure it to the footrest through the pre-
drilled holes using 2.5” screws. Supporting the unsecured side of the bench with your hand, place the cleat under the lower side
bench on wall section H, so that the bench rests on the cleat. Using a level, adjust the height of the cleat so that the bench sits
level. Secure the cleat to wall section H through the pre-drilled holes. Finally, secure the bench to the wall sections through the
pre-drilled holes. (34-36)
Center and level the upper backrest approximately 8-12” above the bench, and make a mark where the LED light power cord will
exit the sauna to connect to power. Bore a ½” hole at this location. Next, push the LED light power cord out of the hole and connect
to the power supply. Rest the power supply on the lower rail. Finally, level and secure the upper and lower backrests. (37-40)
