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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 😃
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.
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
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
@@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.

Well said. Cheers you legend. =D
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 !

❤❤ it's exactly 💯 how I'm building for my bed and breakfast.
It's cheaper
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
You need to protect is from the elements coat the outside with some kind of protective coating 🇨🇦🏴☠️
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.
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
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! 🙂
How strong is JAS NOW!! 😊👌
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.
Sweet set up! Protect the ceiling directly above the heater as well :)
I bought an infared sauna from a rich couple that was moving. I payed a measly $400. :)
Goals for adulthood; get a small sauna for the garden

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?
6:55 for the sauna bit
Had to watch over half the video to finally get to the sauna info
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
Video starts at 7:18 🙄🙄🙄
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! 🙂
beautiful yard... what are the other structures on the property? Green house...
81kg FS Jas- respect!
For 4x4 too😅
Curiious how it's holding up after the rain and seasons. That is my main concern.
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

Any updates after using it for a couple of years? Has it helped with your fitness/workouts? Feeling of general health?
Electricity bill through the roof? Try a jacuzzi...also very relaxing for the muscles after a good WOD.
How hot does this sauna get up too? If I were to get one I would like to reach the 180-195 degrees
Add solar panels to cover the Sauna utility bill, and the same solar panels can help the entire house (laundry and hot water tank).

Are they expensive to run, do you get the bit that makes steam
Getting one myself. But can’t decide on this one or the one without outside seating. Do u guys use that?
Awesome stuff!! Do you have the model number?
Cold expore could be use old milk bulk tank.
Everything Costco is great.
any update on electric costs from the sauna
How much does it cost to run the sauna on a monthly basis?
Looks GREAT!!! Enjoy! 🔥

The lady sounds like the kid from the Calypso Punch meme
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.

Maybe build a little roof over it keep it out of the weather ?
Barrel Saunas also available in Montreal Canada, under the name Montreal Saunas.
Teddy Swims is an immense talent ! Thanks for the recommendation 👍… I’m hooked and just booked tickets for Toronto in April!
Craig and Jas making some serious gains!!
Nice guys.
What about ice baths? What are the benefits and how does it compare to sauna use?
what power cord do you use to power it?
That’s a sweet setup for the sauna 🥵 next is the cryo chamber 🥶
So nice to see you all livin’ the dream!
How long does it take to heat up to temp? Thanx
Any EMF concerns with these Costco sauna's
you can switch the oven to a wood burning one
How is the sauna holding up?
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.
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.
EMF is a problem for infrared only
I bought this sauna, because of this video. Thanks team!
Do you love it?!

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.
Are you still using it? Any updates on your sauna use after 1 year?
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 just need a pull cord cold rain shower to complete the true Scandinavian Sauna experience. Skål !
How long did it take to build
You need to get some essential oils to put in the water bucket too. I recommend Lapland berries. Be - a - utiful
How hot does it get? At least 180f?
Watching you front squat more than my DL 1rm is inspirational.
What’s the update on the use of it?
Some of the Finnish wisdom for all the legends out there haha
How many Royce Dunns will it fit?
What's the cost put a link in the description pls
Injury free and as strong as possible. The goal of us all.
Harvia is good but I would get a firewood stove...even healthier! :)
Wheres the cold plunge?
How long will it be before they get a cold tub?
How much did it cost?
that sauna is sooo nice!!! jealous.
Do you not get some of the benefits from hot showers ??
Not hot enough and you're not showering for 20 mins at a time.
Ngl Ive been nonstop listening to luke combs since you recommended him aha. I CAN'T STOP!!
I would love to have one of those saunas too.
Lifting in the Matty frase shoes 😲 I get scared everytime mine come out the box to walk around at stores 😁🤣
Are you competing in Strength in Depth this weekend ?
How hot dose it get?
Loved the video! But I really need that “Sauna-playlist” in my life! 😅
Are you putting shingles or other roofing on the sauna?
Whooooo go Jas!!! Yeeeeeeahhh!
Y’all reminding me of Pulp Fiction with that hose off after the sauna!
Dude, that thing doesnt have a roof and youre expacting it to last 15 years under sun and rain? :D
Hey Craig, just curious why you chose a traditional/stone based sauna over an infrared sauna?
I’m not Craig but infrared don’t get nearly as hot.
Paint it with creasote every year and you’ll be fine

The best thing ever you guys have! this is amazing and it's the best thing for the human body!! Thank you for the extra info💚💚💚💚🏋🇺🇸
Is there a link to the Sauna?
What's the max heat this sauna can produce?
Here in Arizona you simply have to go outside.....
Video begins at 7:05
Sauna is a rocking don't come a knocking
It is estimated that there are two million saunas in Finland, for a population of 5.3 million.
If you live in florida you’re in a sauna 24/7
maybe that's why retirees move there so often - like a forced sauna all the time, keeps those joints limber and the brain juicy :p
You just need to put in a plunge pool next to the sauna now
I love Jaz black long sleeve shirt !!
