What is the Installation Process Like?

• Lay out your barrel cradles and add the supporting staves to help keep them in place.
• Once the staves for the bottom of the sauna have been placed, you can assemble and install the front and back walls of the sauna. 
• At this point, you simply continue adding staves around the sauna to create a rounded shape while also continuing to build out the front and back walls. 
• At the end, metal frames will be added around the sauna to help support the shape.
• Once the sauna is assembled, you can add accessories and finishing touches like lighting and your heater.
