Preparing the base. Crus ed limestone
gravel: Clear loose vegetation and soil, level
t e ground, lay down weed barrier clot if
desired, and fill t e area wit 2-4” of crus ed
limestone gravel. Level and tamp. Patio
stones on top are an option but not

A solid concrete slab, or a new or existing
wooden deck are good options as long as
t ey are stable and drain well. Consult a
professional building contractor if you’re not
sure ow to proceed wit t ese options.
Assembling the floor:
Lay t e outer four sides of t e floor on your

pieces (t e ones wit t e X’s on t em)
opposite eac ot er (notc ed edges upward).
Screw t e four mitred corners toget er wit
two 3” wood screws per joint, as s own.
Align t e floor joists wit t e X’s on t e floor
frame, so t at t e sides of t e joists line up
wit t e lines beside t e X’s. Fasten wit two
3” wood screws on eac end.
Now it is time to fasten t e floor boards. Start by laying a floor board groove-side into t e notc in t e front side of
t e floor frame. Continue laying down t e boards and tap t em tig t toget er wit a mallet. Don’t worry if t ere is a
gap left over at t e back wall w en t e last board is put in place as t at will be covered by t e back wall. Drive one 1
½” deck screw at eac intersection wit t e floor joists.
Locate and position t e back bottom wall
assembly (picture left) flus wit t e back
edge of t e floor.
Centre it side to side on t e back edge of t e
floor and fasten it wit 2½” deck screws
approximately every 16”.
Now locate t e bottom board assembly of the
front wall. (picture below) It as a 2x2 bracket
attac ed like t e back wall. Orient t e bracket
toward t e back.
Space it t e correct distance from t e back
wall by using two staves wit grooves in t e
ends, one on t e left and one on t e rig t.
T is s ould align t e bottom front wall board
flus wit t e front edge.
Note t at if your sauna was ordered wit a
c ange room option t ere will be more t an
one groove in t e side wall boards because
t ere will be an extra wall.
Once correctly positioned using wall boards for
spacing on bot sides, centre it side-to-side and
fasten t e front bottom wall assembly to t e
floor as wit t e back wall, along t e 2x2 bracket
approximately every 16” wit 2½” deck screws.
Start building t e front and back walls using t e
pre-built assemblies, as s own.
Fasten t e wall boards to t e floor using 2½”
deck screws into pre-drilled oles on t e bottom
edges.
Use a wall board as a brace to steady t e wall
segments, as s own, to old t e wall segments
in place until t e roof is in place.
Install t e pre- ung door assembly by sliding it
firmly into place.
Place and attac t e ot er front wall section.
Install t e middle section of t e back wall.

Centre t e top piece on top of t e walls and
fasten it using two 1½” deck screws on eac end.
Install the wall boards from the top down,
tapping t em into place wit a rubber mallet.
Secure t e wall boards in place using 2½” deck
screws w ere t ey join t e front and rear walls.
Continue installing t e wall boards until you
reac t e bottom of eac side. Note t at t e
bottom boards ave a flat bottom. Install it as
you would t e rest.
Install t e front and back trim boards as s own
using supplied 1½” deck screws. Place t e
screws approximately every t ird wall board.
Roll out t e underlay (Ice and Water Dam S ield)
and cut eac lengt about one inc longer t an
t e lengt of t e wall boards.
Place a piece as s own, wit t e black front side
adhesive strip oriented towards t e top. Peel
and fold back t e top 3 or 4 inc es of t e
backing from t e top edge, and stick in place so
t at t e bottom edge is flus wit t e bottom of
t e sauna wall.
T en peel off t e rest of t e backing, and
smoot t e entire piece onto t e wall.
Peel t e protective plastic off t e top side black
adhesive strip, t en apply t e next piece on top.
W en you ave applied t ree strips on eac
side, place t e final strip across t e peak as
s own. Trim t e ends precisely at the joint of
roof board and trim wit a utility blade.
It is advisable to put a bead of caulk at t e
newly trimmed edge of t e underlay w ere it
meets t e trim. Don’t use a pure silicone caulk
as it will not ad ere well to t e cedar. Instead, it
is best to use a Polyether caulk like 3M 4000UV
Polyet er Ad esive Sealant. It is rated safe for
all polymers, is low in VOCs, and will ad ere to
t e cedar very well.
[
Next, install t e beveled siding. Use rust-proof
staples or 1½” stainless nails wit ¼” ead. It is
best to use ring-s anked “splitless” s ingle nails.
Place t e first strip flus wit t e bottom edge
of t e wall. Eac strip s ould be overlapped
about one inc , so use a 4½” spacer as s own.
Drive the nails ABO E the overlap (1” – 1 ¼”
from the bottom edge. (do not drive nails
through both strips of siding) Space nails out
approximately every two feet. Make sure you
don’t drive t em on an angle, or drive t e ead
of t e nail below t e surface of t e siding.
Repeat for t e ot er side and use t e last board
for a ridge cap on t e peak.
Benches:
Space two benc supports next to t e side wall
w ere t e benc will go. Place t e benc on
top, and adjust t e positon of t e supports so
t at t ey are directly under t e underside cross
members, flus wit t e front trim, and in
contact wit t e wall.
Place 2½” deck screws between t e benc
boards, front and back, at eac support.
Screw t e benc end brackets into t e walls wit
2½” deck screws (3 places)
Secure t e bottom of eac benc support to t e
floor using 2½” deck screws, front and back.
