- Page 3 Fill the cradles with enough staves to hold the middle section with the door, and the corresponding back middle section. Make sure there are no gaps between the edges of the staves. (tap together with mallet) A half-inch hole was bored for drainage just inside the walls on the lower special stave.
- Page 4 Get the middle front and back wall segments plum using a carpenter’s level, or a plumb bob. Put the special top stave in place to help stabilize the wall sections.
- Page 5 Fasten the half-moon side wall segments to the middle wall segments with supplied 2½” screws. The tops of the various wall sections are marked with A, B, C, or D at the top to ensure that they are properly matched. Here they attach the front-left section to the front-middle section matching markings “B”...
- Page 6 Here the installer is using one of the supplied 2½” finishing nails to hold a stave onto the bottom part of the barrel. You may not need to use nails, as sometimes the staves stay on without nails. If you do find that you need to use them, only use nails on every second stave, and only if necessary.
- Page 7 Finish installing the staves on the top half. Again, make sure there are no gaps between the staves by tapping them firmly into place with a rubber mallet, and make sure they line up with the pencil-marked circle. Assemble two of the bands so they can be slipped easily on over the ends of the barrel.
- Page 8 Here the band is being placed with the tightening hardware on the bottom of the side that is least visible. IMPORTANT: It is normal for the barrel sauna to fit like this when the outer bands are on, (with a “hump” where the last stave is inserted.) Using your rubber mallet, adjust the staves so that they form nice circle,...
- Page 9 By adjusting the staves this way (bumping them up or down with a rubber mallet, as necessary) they should settle into a circular shape as pictured below. Your barrel should look somewhat like this just before tightening; as near a circle shape as can be achieved by adjusting the staves with a mallet, but with a gap showing at the top.
- Page 10 Measure 2” from the edge of the band to the end of the staves all around before tightening Rotate the bands so that the tightening hardware is at the desired location. Usually this is the least visible area of the barrel. That could be bottom centre if you don’t mind crawling down under to tighten them.

- Page 12 … and install with 2½” screws. A carpenter’s level or square can be useful. Fasten handles at the desired height (1½” screws) … then the towel bar (1½” screws).
- Page 13 IMPORTANT: Operate the heater for an hour with the sauna door fully open to burn off any residual coating from the manufacturing process before using. Congratulations, you have successfully assembled your Cedar Barrel Sauna!
