Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Fonteyn Barrel Sauna is designed for straightforward assembly, with front and back sections pre-assembled. Typically, assembly takes a few hours. Ensure you have a level and stable base for placement, such as a concrete pad or gravel base, especially for outdoor installations. Follow the provided instructions carefully for optimal results.
Compatibility: This sauna is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though outdoor placement is more common due to its design and aroma. Ensure adequate ventilation if installed indoors. Check local building codes for any regulations regarding outdoor structures.
Care: To maintain the beauty and longevity of the Western red cedar, periodic cleaning and optional sealing are recommended. Clean the interior and exterior with a mild soap and water solution, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals. For outdoor use, consider applying a UV-protectant sealer annually to prevent the wood from graying due to sun exposure. Ensure the sauna is kept clean of debris to maintain air circulation.
