What maintenance is required for the red cedar wood?

Troubleshooting
Sauna not heating evenly
Ensure the sauna door is fully closed and sealed. Check for any obstructions to heat circulation inside the sauna. Verify the heater is correctly sized for the sauna volume.
Wood appears faded or grey
Apply a UV-protective wood sealant or stain specifically designed for outdoor cedar. This will restore color and protect against weathering.
