What happens here

After preparing and compacting the ground, two treated timber runners (large 4x4 or 6x6 lumber pieces) are carefully placed parallel to each other on the compacted earth. These timbers will serve as the direct support for the barrel sauna. A large level, like a Stanley FatMax, is used to ensure both timbers are perfectly horizontal and at the correct elevation.

Goal: Create a level and stable timber base for the barrel sauna.

So, it's main support is there. That runs that way. There runs that way. So, we got to get those measurements. Okay. So, I'm laying things out and I'm looking at the back. I think that looks good. What do you guys think? Clear. No, I got to pull them out and get that pad level right about there.
