- Page 1 Olympia Cabin Sauna OWNER’S MANUAL Thank you for your purchase of your Olympia sauna! Should you have any questions during assembly, please feel free to call us at 888.287.0111, or email sales@salussaunas.com. Regular business hours are 9-5 PST, M-F.
- Page 3 OLYMPIA ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Locate the eight foundation stringers (AR1). You can set these directly on a concrete slab or, if installing on bare ground, lay them onto treated 2x4 or 2x6 supports, which is what is shown in the picture. Space the stringers equal- distance apart so that the overall outside dimension is 3790mm. Note that the...
- Page 4 6. Place log (016) in place below the door to start the center wall. Then place shorter logs (021) and (010) in place on top of log (016) that will continue the center wall between the sauna room and changing room. Screw into place. 7. Place logs (009) and (010) on the front of the sauna. 8. Place two half-logs (012) at the left and right front of the sauna and screw directly to the short foundation piece referenced in step 2. 9. Place short logs (013) to form the front wall of the two porch walls. 10. Alternate long logs (017) with sauna and changing room side wall logs (016) to form the side walls of the sauna and the front porch. Continue to work your way up all walls until you have completed six rows of the two side walls. Row seven will use two side logs (019) that are flat (no grooves) on the porch ends of the log.
- Page 5 11. At this stage insert the all-wood interior door between the sauna room and changing room. The doors should slide into place without being forced and will swing open into the changing room. Tap the door at the top to be sure it is sitting directly on the bottom log. Do not fasten the door with screws or nails;...
- Page 6 16. Insert the window after several rows are laid ensuring the window will swing to the outside. Do not screw or nail the window into place. 17. At this time, it is suggested you install the door and window hardware. Place the door latch so that the lock is to the exterior of the sauna. 18. Place the handles on the door latch and verify the door closes and locks securely. 19. Install the interior door knobs. 20. Continue to position logs so that the window and doors are framed with the logs. At row 16 on the two sides, use the longer logs (020) to begin the cantilever extension that will support the roof. (Review steps 20-26 before continuing to see how the cantilever extension logs alternate with the logs located on the front and rear walls).
- Page 7 21. The cantilever extension logs will be used only at the two side walls for now, not at the center. 22. Place cantilever logs (021) and then top cantilever logs (022) and (026) on the two side walls to complete the cantilever extensions on the side walls. Note that (022) is tapered at the top for the right side wall and (026) is tapered for the left side wall. NOTE: Do not screw the cantilever logs to the all logs yet. This will be addressed in step 33. (022) and (026) logs are tapered 23. While working your way up with the extension logs, locate the sections (W1-1) and (W2-1) which are the angled portions of the front and rear walls. 24. Disconnect the individual logs that form (W1-1) and (W2-1).
- Page 8 26. Insert mid-point cantilever logs (PR1) in the notches of (W1-1) and (W2-1) as you work your way up the front and back wall. 27. View of front showing progress to this point. 28. At row 21 on the center wall, place cantilever log (020) and add (021) and (024) as shown as you work your way up. (Review steps 28-32 before continuing to see how the cantilever extension logs alternate with the logs located on the front and walls.) 29. View of front showing progress to this point. 30. Further disassemble (W1-1) and (W2-1) to separate peak log sections for front and rear walls. page 7...
- Page 9 31. Continue working your way up the front and rear walls with the angled pieces from (W1-1) and (W2-1), alternating with center wall cantilever logs. 32. Complete the center cantilever by adding the narrow cantilever log (025) to the center wall and on top of cantilever log (024). You will now be ready to begin the roof installation process. 33. Find two roof boards (RB2-1) and position them to the front edge of the cantilever logs. NOTE: place the “groove” edge facing out and flush with the edge of the cantilever logs. Nail them to the peak and furthest left and right cantilever logs. Before nailing the two roof boards to the remaining cantilever logs, ensure they will touch the cantilever logs without bowing. If there is a gap between the roof board and cantilever log, either shim the cantilever log or gently tap the cantilever log to remove the gap and then screw into the log walls.
- Page 10 36. The final two rear roof boards will need to be cut length-wise (ripped) so that they are flush with the rear edge of the cantilever logs. (Use of a table saw is easiest, but you can also cut with a circular saw once the final board is installed using a chalk line to mark the edge of the cantilever log.) 37. Front view of sauna once roof is completed. 38. Find the left and right roof edge reinforcement boards (RE2-1) and install at edge of roof lines with nails or screws. Cut to length as needed. 39. Find the left and right eave edging boards (EaE5-1) and nail to the roof edge reinforcement boards as shown. Cut to length as needed. 40. Place the facia boards (FaB7-1) on the roof edge and secure to the ends of the cantilever logs and roof board.
- Page 11 41. View of sauna after facia boards attached. 42. Install the porch (terrace) boards (TB1-1) starting at the front and working your way back toward the sauna. Place the narrow porch board (TB1-2) at the front and between the front porch rails. Nail the porch boards to the foundation stringers. NOTE: If the porch boards do not reach far enough to cover the left and right stringers, you can nail a support piece into the stringers and nail into it. 43. View of completed porch. 44. Find the changing room floor boards (RB2-1) and nail them in place to the stringers. Use a mallet to tap these tongue and groove boards into place. The final board may have to be ripped on a table saw to provide the correct fit. Trim will be used later to cover the edge, so a small gap is ok. Also, if the floor boards don’t reach to the foundation stringers you can create and install a filler piece using purchased lumber.
- Page 12 Tapered ceiling support 46. The sauna room and changing roof will have a ceiling below the roof to create an air space. Find four ceiling supports that extend the length of the two rooms and have a taper on them. Nail to the side and center walls in each room, positioning so that the ceiling boards will nail to these as well as the cantilever logs on the inside of the rooms.
- Page 13 51. Screw the bench supports into front and rear room walls with 70mm screws ensuring the supports are level. 52. Install the top and lower benches, securing to the walls with 70mm screws. 53. View of installed benches. 54. View of completed sauna room. Your sauna is now ready for roofing. The sauna includes shingles but does not include drip edge. Purchase the appropriate colored drip edge at your local home center as well as shingles if you desire a different color than the included black shingles. NOTE: If using a wood-burning stove you should first install the stove and chimney before roofing the sauna. Follow the heater installation instructions included with your heater for the appropriate electric or wood-burning unit. page 12...
