Installation instructions
● When it rains, water can enter - the sauna barrel is not 100% watertight. To
drain water from the floor, two holes are pre-drilled in the groove for the front
and back walls of the lowest stave. These should be open at the bottom after
the metal bands have been fitted, so that the water can drain away.
● Condensation can cause water stains, especially under the glass pane. Dry
the barrel sauna regularly by heating it up without infusion or, in the case of
a combi heater, using the post-drying program.
● When using an electric sauna heater, please note
- The external sauna control unit should be protection class IP65 or
- Installation of the external sauna control unit in a protective housing
● Please note when using a combi sauna heater:
Always empty the vaporiser water after the sauna (formation of bacteria
and risk of frost in winter).
● Foundation
The following foundation elements have proven themselves in practice - see
page 9:
• Foundation slab (base plate)
• Strip foundation
For both types, a foundation that is absolutely flat and load-bearing must be
ensured. Only then can the assembly of the outdoor sauna be ensured without
any difficulties and with a precise fit.
1.2. Anchoring the outdoor sauna
The outdoor sauna must be firmly anchored on the base plate or the strip
foundation. Strong winds can exert a powerful force on the garden sauna. To
prevent damage to your, or third party, property proper anchoring is essential.
We point out that anchoring the garden sauna is the responsibility of the
customer and we do not accept any liability for accidental damage.
1.3. Tools required
● Hammer with a wooden block and a mallet
● Cordless screwdriver with bits for cross-head screws and Torx
● Roller tape measure
● Drill bits with a diameter of 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 20 – 30 mm
(for sauna heater power cable)
● Spirit level
● Open-ended spanner
