Why We Recommend Fast Foundations

Why the Elephant?

Fast Foundations uses the elephant to represent the incredible strength and stability of their ground screw systems, each screw is capable of supporting the weight of an African elephant! It’s a powerful way to demonstrate just how reliable their foundations are for saunas, hot tubs, and outdoor structures. Beyond construction, Fast Foundations also supports elephant conservation, helping protect these majestic animals for future generations.

Sauna Foundations That Are Built to Last

A premium outdoor sauna deserves a foundation that’s just as dependable. That’s why we recommend Fast Foundations’ specially engineered sauna base systems. Their combination of a robust anti-rot ground screw foundation and patent-pending sub-frame bases gives your sauna a stable, level, and raised platform, essential for long-term performance and protection from moisture and cold.

Unlike concrete slabs or paving stones, which can crack or shift over time, Fast Foundations’ system is designed to remain stable for decades. It comes with a 20-year anti-rot guarantee, but in reality, it’s built for a lifetime of use.

And the strength? Each ground screw can support the weight of an African elephant, seriously. So whether you're installing one of our 4-person saunas or a larger custom model, you can rest assured the foundation won’t sink, sag, or warp. If you want your outdoor sauna to last, start with a base that’s made to go the distance. With Fast Foundations, your wellness retreat is in solid hands. 

Durable & Customisable Hot Tub Foundations – The Ideal UK Base Solution

If you're looking for a reliable hot tub base solution in the UK, Fast Foundations provides one of the most effective systems on the market. Their ground screw hot tub foundation and sub-base system is engineered to handle the significant weight of a filled hot tub — including those using chlorinated or salt water — while resisting corrosion and long-term wear. Unlike timber or makeshift bases, this anti-rot, concrete-free foundation delivers long-lasting structural stability without the risk of sinking or deterioration.

Ideal for both level and sloped gardens, Fast Foundations' system can be customised in height, making it perfect for hot tubs that need to be flush with decking or set into challenging terrains. If you're planning to add a decked seating area or sunbathing space around your spa, the same UK-made ground screw system can easily be extended to support additional weight and structure.

Whether you're installing a luxury wood-fired hot tub or an electric spa, Fast Foundations offers a durable, flexible, and environmentally friendly hot tub base that’s built to last — and trusted by Heracles Wellness for premium outdoor wellness installations.
