Use 3 ½" (76mm) screws on the corner staves.
Continue adding the side wall staves up both sides of sauna.
Use a rubber mallet to tap staves tight into each other if required.
When you reach the top corners, remove the top stave that was for support and put it aside.
Only place the top staves in at this point, do not screw them down.
When you reach the middle of the top, place the center stave (concave on either side) so it creates a "V" shape with the last stave.
Tap the "V" shape down until it is flat.
Once the roof is flat, secure all the roof staves with 2 ½" (64mm) screws in both ends of the staves.
Unfold the rubber membrane and place over the top of the sauna.
Ensure that it is centered front to back and side to side.

Place the towel hook at desired location and secure with 4- 1 ½" (38mm) screws.
Install the optional sand timer using 2 – 1 ½" (38mm) screws.
To start the installation of the benches, space the 4 bench brackets against the back wall.
Place the top bench on the bench brackets ensuring it is snug against the back wall.
Align the bench brackets to the bench supports on the bottom of the bench.
Secure the bench to the bench bracket using 3 – 1 ½" (38mm) screws fastening between the slats to make the screws less visible.
Repeat this for all 4 bench brackets.
Place the bottom bench on the lower bench support and ensure it is tight to the back of the support.
Secure the bottom bench to the bench bracket using 3 – 1 ½" (38mm) screws fastening between the slats to make the screws less visible.
Secure the bench supports to the back wall using 2 – 2 ½" (64mm) screws for each of the bench supports.
Follow the same steps to secure the bench supports to the floor using 2 – 2 ½" (64mm) screws in each bench support.
That completes the assembly of your 2-tier bench.
Measure the width of the stove mounting holes
Measure the height of the stove mounting holes and add 6".
Transfer the measurements to the side wall of the sauna.
Due to the curved edge, you will have to measure from a couple staves out from the wall where the floor is flat.
Using the provided template, punch out the holes for your mounting bolts.
Center the template on the wall, align the bolt holes to your mark and install the 2 - 1 ¼" x 1 ½" hex head lag screws into the holes.
Remove the template.
Hang the heater on the 2 mounting bolts and tighten to secure stove in position.
Locate the pieces for your heater guard.
Stand the 2 Assembled side pieces of the heater guard on edge with pre-drilled holes on the bottom.
Screw heater guard support to either side using (2) – 1 ¼" (38mm) screws per side.
Repeat for the bottom heater guard support.
Place 2- 2 ½" (64mm) screws into the pre-drilled holes on either side of heater guard to prepare for mounting.
Center the guard around the heater and secure to wall with the preplaced screws.
Ensure the guard is level and secure the other side.
Wash the layer of rock dust off of the sauna rocks before using them.
When your sauna is set up and working you should "break-in" the sauna before using it for the first time by turning on the heater to its highest setting and operate it for about 1 hour.
This is recommended to burn off any oils impurities from manufacturing, and it also "cures" the woodwork.
All wiring should be installed according to the heater manufacturers instructions and by a licensed electrician.
Do NOT use a G.F.I breaker
High on the back wall opposite the heater, mark the position for your vent holes.
Drill out with a 2" hole saw.
Only go halfway through to prevent splintering and drill the remainder from the other side of wall.
On the outside wall using 1 ½" screws, screw on the vent cover.
Use a 1 ½" (38mm) screw and attach the vent board on the inside of the sauna making sure it is tight but can still be turned.
Repeat the above steps placing a vent under the heater.
Drill out with a 2" (51mm) hole saw.
Only drill halfway through to prevent splintering and drill the remainder from the other side of the wall.
On the outside of the sauna, secure the vent cover to the sauna with 1 ½" (38mm) screws.
It is recommended to vacuum or sweep out the inside of your sauna frequently to remove dirt and other debris. Under normal conditions, a slight wash of the floor and benches with warm soapy water several times a year will maintain its cleanliness. Leisurecraft offers a sauna room cleaner that can be used pure or diluted at a 4-1 ratio. Simply spray and wipe!
You can use a sheet of fine grit sandpaper or a low-pressure wash to remove more stubborn stains or for a deeper cleaning of the interior of your sauna.
Never use ammonia or harsh cleaners as they can turn the wood gray.
Some minor water seeping into the sauna is expected and normal for an outdoor sauna. If your sauna is properly installed, you should not have water dripping in, but you should expect some water seepage, especially on the top and sides of the sauna.
This is due to the porous characteristics of the wood and to the ball-and-socket profile design of the staves.
Water Seepage will not harm the sauna. The moisture will evaporate once you turn on the heater and the sauna heats up.
If the water marks are bothersome, they can be easily removed with a light sanding (80 or 100 grit)
Depending on the humidity and weather conditions in your area, the cedar will either shrink or expand based on the amount of moisture absorption. The desired effect is to have the cedar expand into the bands therefore making the sauna staves much tighter.
Over time the lumber will weather naturally as a result of sun and rain, it will change into a weathered grey colour. This natural weathering will not harm the wood or impair the sauna's performance.
If you wish to retain the natural color of your Leisurecraft Sauna, Leisurecraft offers cedar sauna stains in 4 amazing colors, Espresso, Limestone Trail, Onyx Gem and Pickled White in convenient 1-gallon pails.
Never treat the interior of the Sauna.
