Love it. As a carpenter in the UK I would advise protecting it from the elements. If you're wanting it to last 10/15yrs then I'd throw a cover over it or even stick it under an oak frame like you've got. 👍🏻
I built mine on a Trailer and it has been my best investment ever...definitely better than any Jab rescue. I do 4 x 20min sessions at 230 F with a plunge in stock tank between sessions
I just got hired at a sauna and we have a cold plunge as well. Within the last two weeks I have probably put 11 hours in the sauna w/ the 15 mins of cold plunge a day and I have never felt better.
In Finland everyore has a sauna, my children have been in Sauna since about 4-5 month old . We go each second day, great for relaxing stiff muscles. Great investment.
I built one during lock down. Can honestly say best thing I ever done just pop in anytime then under outdoor shower freezing cold. Lovely. I'd you haven't got one get one
My wife and I built ours in about 3 hours. For a base I built a simple treated wood deck prior to sauna kit delivery. Then had an electrician hardwire the 220 which did cost an extra grand.
I swear Benny is slowly transforming into a Lucas Parker. Give it another year or two and he's gonna be deep squatting wearing naught but speedos and a toque
Cold exposure in the UK isn't hard. Wim Hof has pioneered this in the Western world and it's as simple as dialing the shower down to cold when you've had your morning wash. Start with 15 seconds a day full cold, increase to 30 after a week and keep building until you're at 2 mins a day. It's tough but I promise you will never regret doing it once you're out. Turbo mood booster. Glad I joined a globo gym in addition to my CrossFit box as they have 2 x great saunas in there I can get exposure to most days. Good luck going forward and remember...go to the cold or the cold will come to you. Nothing worth doing is easy, which is why most don't do it.
The benefits of sauna have been shown to be replicated through the use of a hot bath. Might not be everyone's preference but definitely a more affordable option. Plus you can add magnesium salts which will absorb transdermally for that additional muscle recovery benefits
Craig your strength is quite something. I'm new to CrossFit and i struggle with the WOD's as i am from a triathlon background. My aerobic is good and on the machines i can crush the calories but moving weight is where my down fall is. I'm looking at doing 5x5 progression for the winter months to get stronger and move the weight more at aerobic as opposed to getting to max HRM and having a rest
With the sauna being electric not with a wood stowe, you might want to look into solar panels. Also, look up bath brooms, although, I don't know if they are suggested in electric saunas. Gathering snow in one place or putting up a large water container would also add to sauna benefits with temperature contrasts.
Now you need to get a hot tub next to it and you will be all set. Also, have you thought about getting solar panels installed? That will greatly reduce the energy cost per year. My friend put panels on his house and his bill was cut in half.
Interesting data about the "increased time to exhaustion" amongst endurance athletes who sauna. There was a study of firefighters who had their core temperature monitored as they worked, and the subjects reported not feeling as if they were exerting themselves as much as their heart rate and core temperature would indicate. Unlike this study, it was not seen as a good thing and pointed to a possible reason why heart attacks happen in otherwise asymptomatic individuals. Of course, they were working IN the sauna (bunker gear), so it's not apples to apples, I just thought the correlation of increased core temperature to lower perceived effort was interesting.
Hi Craig, I'm new to the channel and got to say I'm loving it. You've also helped me find my love for working out again. I'd pretty much given up with heavy lifting due to injuries but your videos have helped me find enjoyment in a different way of working out so thank you. Just added a Bulldog assault bike to my garage gym and my Hstlmade shorts are frickin sweet 👌
Web say elec costs for 8Kw heater is £1.60 for an hour . You could improve insulation by adding polystyrene Celtex to unseen area of barrel or if you put Shingles/tiles on roof put foil blanket insulation under these. What thickness are interlocking cedar planks as thinking of buying and gauging the quality of various suppliers ? Thanks
Add solar panels to cover the Sauna utility bill, and the same solar panels can help the entire house (laundry and hot water tank). I wish my backyard was large enough for that sauna, maybe my front driveway? Car can park on the road. Cheers
i keep hearing this is the comments but how many solar panels are needed to run a 240v heater? and battery, and materials and install.. how much does that cost? most people i know use them at night, during the winter.
That is just so cool to see barrel sauna in UK. Enjoy those hot steams and remember to take cold❄️ shower between steams. We call steams in finnis löylyt. Enjoy. 😃
The saunas the best, the cold water after is so refreshing. I keep a large livestock tub outside and take a 1-3 minute Wim Hoff like soak afterwards. Sleep like the dead afterwards. As a older “athlete” it helps with recovery as well. Cheers!

@@runawaytechgal1467 it's amazing! I got the two person "Duet". It shipped in about a week in the US, and I did all the assembly in a weekend. I just had to have an electrician come to the final wiring. It get's to 170F in about 35 minutes. Smells great. Wish I had bought it sooner.
Just a little advice Checkout the glues that were used and how much EMF is discharged Both, if you have to much EMF and toxic glues you will cancel any positive effects
I don't think so, infrared was designed for the American Market as they have less power in their houses. They don't get as hot so not as good from what I've read.
that is very common women struggle to produce pure strength for 1 rep, they are better at cycling a heavier weight for more reps. Compared to men they are better at 1 rep maxes.

Good advice!
How close are you to them? Be the legend that helps them protect their Sauna investment
I put mine inside of a shed that I constructed specifically for it. I'm not sure it would work with a sauna that size but it works very well.
@@gregmattson2238 good idea… I don’t think it will last long out in the elements !

Can you recommend how to build one or a video of someone building it the correct Finnish way, I would love to build my own
How strong is JAS NOW!! 😊👌
I built one during lock down. Can honestly say best thing I ever done just pop in anytime then under outdoor shower freezing cold. Lovely. I'd you haven't got one get one
Def. protect the ceiling for longer lifespan! 🙂
You need to protect is from the elements coat the outside with some kind of protective coating 🇨🇦🏴☠️
Speaking of electricity bill going through the roof - I'm planning to get a wood fired sauna instead 😉
You can buy a sauna tent.
@@raviv4448 is it worth it though? 🤔are they any good?
@@raviv4448 what is wrong with you
@Ravi V they don't get hot enough
Why not just use a generator

Teddy Swims is an immense talent ! Thanks for the recommendation 👍… I’m hooked and just booked tickets for Toronto in April!
Had to watch over half the video to finally get to the sauna info
That’s a sweet setup for the sauna 🥵 next is the cryo chamber 🥶
So nice to see you all livin’ the dream!
Sweet set up! Protect the ceiling directly above the heater as well :)
Ngl Ive been nonstop listening to luke combs since you recommended him aha. I CAN'T STOP!!

No. Not at all! With a sauna you can get the temperature to 80 degrees. Cannot do this with a hot bath without scolding your skin.
@@anastasiawhite7482 well your body doesn't get to 80degrees. It's about raising body temperature and they both do that
I bought an infared sauna from a rich couple that was moving. I payed a measly $400. :)

The sauna with the electricity seems so easy to use. With the wood logs it takes so much more time to get the right temperature.
Once you get that stove heat right, though... The smell and radiant heat is just amazing.
@@TrueRahf Yeah it is amazing.
Nobody using pellet stoves?
Loved the video! But I really need that “Sauna-playlist” in my life! 😅
Costco is in the USA right??
So did you buy this sauna from this USA shop, and had it shipped over to the UK??
Now you need to get a hot tub next to it and you will be all set. Also, have you thought about getting solar panels installed? That will greatly reduce the energy cost per year. My friend put panels on his house and his bill was cut in half.
would take a big amount of solar panels and a battery.. would take a long time to pay off.
No health benefits to a jacuzzi

Craig and Jas making some serious gains!!
Nice guys.
Goals for adulthood; get a small sauna for the garden
Great sauna, I bought a very similar one this year, but mine has a little felt roofing over the top half, which protects it from the elements
Def. protect the ceiling above the heater as well! 🙂
Some of the Finnish wisdom for all the legends out there haha
Electricity bill through the roof? Try a jacuzzi...also very relaxing for the muscles after a good WOD.
Lifting in the Matty frase shoes 😲 I get scared everytime mine come out the box to walk around at stores 😁🤣
now you just need a pull cord cold rain shower to complete the true Scandinavian Sauna experience. Skål !

How hot does this sauna get up too? If I were to get one I would like to reach the 180-195 degrees

6:55 for the sauna bit
You need to get some essential oils to put in the water bucket too. I recommend Lapland berries. Be - a - utiful

beautiful yard... what are the other structures on the property? Green house...
Everything Costco is great.
Watching you front squat more than my DL 1rm is inspirational.
Curiious how it's holding up after the rain and seasons. That is my main concern.
I bought this sauna, because of this video. Thanks team!
Do you love it?!

Getting one myself. But can’t decide on this one or the one without outside seating. Do u guys use that?
What about ice baths? What are the benefits and how does it compare to sauna use?
Harvia is good but I would get a firewood stove...even healthier! :)
Are they expensive to run, do you get the bit that makes steam
Looks GREAT!!! Enjoy! 🔥
Whooooo go Jas!!! Yeeeeeeahhh!
How much does it cost to run the sauna on a monthly basis?
Any updates after using it for a couple of years? Has it helped with your fitness/workouts? Feeling of general health?
Maybe build a little roof over it keep it out of the weather ?
Just a little advice Checkout the glues that were used and how much EMF is discharged Both, if you have to much EMF and toxic glues you will cancel any positive effects
they see screwed/clamped together.. not glued.
Great vid. You seem like a dead on fella. Did you work out the cost per session re. Electric?
Cold expore could be use old milk bulk tank.
Y’all reminding me of Pulp Fiction with that hose off after the sauna!
Video starts at 7:18 🙄🙄🙄
What about traditional vs infrared ?? I have heard infrared is better ??
I don't think so, infrared was designed for the American Market as they have less power in their houses. They don't get as hot so not as good from what I've read.
What’s the update on the use of it?
you can switch the oven to a wood burning one
that sauna is sooo nice!!! jealous.
what power cord do you use to power it?
any update on electric costs from the sauna
Injury free and as strong as possible. The goal of us all.
Legendary. How do you clean the sauna? Hose it down after each use? All of that sweat on the benches, can’t be sanitary, must need cleaning
Heat and steam does a pretty good cleaning bu itself.
How much did it cost?
Awesome stuff!! Do you have the model number?
I would love to have one of those saunas too.
Barrel Saunas also available in Montreal Canada, under the name Montreal Saunas.
Should you stain the sauna if you plan to keep it for the long term ?
Yes, in my humble opinion. Only the outside. But you can let the cedar go gray if you prefer.
It is estimated that there are two million saunas in Finland, for a population of 5.3 million.
You just need to put in a plunge pool next to the sauna now
How long does it take to heat up to temp? Thanx
Are you still using it? Any updates on your sauna use after 1 year?
Video begins at 7:05
How many times does craig say whatnot in this video hahahh
How long will it be before they get a cold tub?
How is the sauna holding up?
This has to cost a lot of money lol….I’m thinking about getting a portable one.
Meanwhile Kala in the background chewing on a giant log 🤣🤣
I love Jaz black long sleeve shirt !!
that is very common women struggle to produce pure strength for 1 rep, they are better at cycling a heavier weight for more reps. Compared to men they are better at 1 rep maxes.
How many Royce Dunns will it fit?
What's the max heat this sauna can produce?
Skip to 7:05. You’re welcome.
Just wait until you get the power bill.
You listening to Hindi Rap Songs 😂. My day is made.
How hot dose it get?
Paint it with creasote every year and you’ll be fine
Are you putting shingles or other roofing on the sauna?
How long did it take to build
Hey TeamRichey : If no one told you today you both are absolute legends...
How hot does it get? At least 180f?
Sauna is a rocking don't come a knocking
Veddy nice!
