Ensure that the stave is square and add 3 more 3”
(64mm) screws into each corner of the cradle.
*Always ensure that you have the correct screw length so that
there will be enough thread to hold, and especially, so that the
screw does not go all the way through the material and come
out the other side.

Barrel Assembly
Tranquility Barrel Sauna
Assembly Instructions
When installing the staves, tap tightly together
while leaving as much of a gap as possible
between stave and wall using the pencil line as a
guide as in picture.
* This will make the tightening of the bands easier.
At this point, Remove the top stave and put it aside
while continuing to add staves on both sides to the
top.
Use the top stave to wedge with the last stave to
create a “V” shape.
If it doesn’t create a “V” shape or there is a gap, you will need
to add one of the spacer boards to the top stave.

Adding a Spacer to Top Stave (if required)
In your sauna package you will find a spacer stave
that is square on both sides that is only required If
there happens to be a “gap” after installing all the
staves like in the picture on the left.
To add the spacer, start by removing all of the screws
from the top stave.
tel: [phone] | [e-mail]| web: www.leisurecraft.com
Manufactured by:
With the top stave in 2 pieces secure the spacer stave
to the half of the top stave without the screws with 2”
(51mm) screws.
Now screw the other side of the top stave back to the
other half top stave and it should now make a “V”
shape when wedged with the last stave on the sauna.

Making the Top Stave Narrower (if required)
In rare instances, your sauna staves will be too tight
not allowing the staves to settle into the correct
position. (as in picture to the left)
This doesn’t happen often, and the sauna staves and
bands are always better being as tight as possible.
To make the top stave narrower, start by removing all
of the screws from the top stave.
tel: [phone] | [e-mail]| web: www.leisurecraft.com
Manufactured by:
Once top stave is apart, Measure from flat edge 3/4 “
(2cm) on each piece and safely cut to make staves
thinner.
Now screw the 2 cut pieces of the top stave back
together.
Reinstall the top stave and it should now make a “V”
shape when wedged with the last stave on the sauna.
