Notes on Assembly:

Assembly is easiest (and faster) with multiple people. The barrel should sit on a flat, clear resting surface. Do NOT place it on grass. Good options include crushed gravel, river rock, cement, wooden deck, and/or pavers. All staves are pre-cut and require no additional cutting to make the pieces fit. Tools recommended to complete the build out include: level, adjustable wrench, rubber mallet, hammer, Phillips head screwdriver, bit & drill.

Notes On Electrical Connection: 

SISU’s heating options are run on a dedicated 240v hardwired line. They recommend contracting an electrician to run the electrical. Estimated costs depending on location: $500-$1,500.

Health & Safety Notes:

• SISU recommends starting with shorter, warm sessions. Limit your sauna sessions to 10 minutes at first. As you improve your tolerance, increase the temps by turning up the dial and add steam by pouring water over the rocks.
• Pair your sauna sessions with the Ice Barrel. Adding periods of cooling after being in the sauna presents health benefits. Benefits of cold water immersion start when you begin to sweat! 
• Consult with your doctor. Stop if you begin to feel lightheaded, nauseated, weak, or experience other symptoms. If you have pre-existing medical conditions and are unsure if sauna therapy is right for you, please consult your physician.
