First of all, it is necessary to prepare place for installation of a sauna. The surface needs to be leveled. Sauna can be installed either on wooden platform or concrete base in such a way that they were able to withstand no less than a couple of tons. In case the barrel is installed close to some other building, for instance, at the edge of the terrace, make sure that a chimney is disposed far enough from the roof of the construction. As soon as all preparations are made, install the sauna, heat it to the required temperature, and enjoy the best sauna bathing ever!

Sauna sessions positively influence our central nervous system, perfectly restore physical strength, relieve anxiety and emotional stress.
