Page 4: Check Your Boxes
Because the customary sauna experience involves a heating-cooling-resting process, it is important to plan ahead before installing yours. Our method of construction affords the widest number of possible choices because our Barrel Sauna room can be placed in either an indoor or outdoor setting. -
Page 5: First Considerations
To help speed up the installation, substitute a deep well socket wrench for the ¾” wrench and a reversible power drill for the screwdrivers. FIRST CONSIDERATIONS When you begin the initial layout for assembly, it is very important to check your floor or deck to see if it is level. Most garage floors, basement floors, and decks are sloped for drainage. - Page 6 Figure 1—Base Assembly Work from one side and start placing the staves on the ends. Nail the staves (from outside) below middle of the sauna to hold them in place until the hoops are placed. Be very careful to keep the staves tight against each other.

Page 10: Treating The Sauna
TREATING THE SAUNA Saunas have traditionally been left untreated to retain the natural look and feel of the wood. Never treat the inside of the sauna, and treatment of the external of the sauna is optional. If a protectant is desired for the exterior of your sauna, contact your local paint supply store for a suitable cedar wood treatment for the exterior of your sauna. -
Page 11: Taking A Sauna Bath
TAKING A SAUNA BATH The sauna as we know it comes from Finland. Taking a sauna bath induces excessive perspiration, which cleanses the skin. It stimulates circulation and reduces muscular tension. It can also be an excellent relaxational or social activity. Not to be confused with a steam bath, a sauna is a dry heat bath. -
