Kodiak Saunas Barrel Sauna Maintenance Guide

Guidelines to keep your sauna in great shape:
1. Strap Tightening: Regularly check the straps that secure the staves of the sauna barrel.
Over time, the wood may expand and contract due to changes in humidity and temperature.
Gently tighten the straps as needed to ensure that the staves remain securely in place. This
will help maintain the structural integrity of the barrel and prevent any potential warping.
2. Staining and Finishing: To preserve the beauty of the wood and protect it from the
elements, it’s recommended to stain or finish the barrel sauna every 2 years. Choose a
high-quality, exterior-grade wood stain or finish that is suitable for outdoor use. Before
applying any product, make sure the surface is clean and dry. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for application and drying times. Regular staining will help prevent cracking,
fading, and weathering of the wood.
3. Waterproofing Limitations: Please note that the sauna barrel is not guaranteed to be
completely waterproof. While the wood used in your sauna is designed to withstand outdoor
conditions, natural variations in the wood and changes in environmental factors can affect its
ability to repel water. To minimize water exposure, ensure that the sauna is placed on a
level, well-drained surface and that the straps are always tight.
General Maintenance Tips:
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the interior of the sauna to remove dust, dirt, and sweat
residue. Use a mild soap and water solution, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage
the wood.
• Ventilation: Allow proper ventilation after each use to prevent moisture buildup inside the
sauna, which can lead to mold and mildew growth.
• Seal Maintenance: Check the seal around your barrel and replace the silicone every 3-5
years only if it shows signs of wear to maintain a good seal and energy efficiency.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: When cleaning or maintaining the sauna, avoid using harsh
chemicals that could damage the wood or finishes. By following these maintenance
guidelines, you can enjoy your Kodiak Saunas barrel sauna for many years to come. If you
have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.
