A recent purchaser of a Barrel Sauna called concerning placement of his Almost Heaven barrel sauna in his home. He was unable to get the round barrel end sections to fit down his low stairway opening. His question was whether the barrel ends could be disassembled in order to allow them to fit down the stairs.
Horizontal connecting board for Barrel Sauna end sections
For this customer and any others who are trying to bring the barrel ends through a low entry, the answer is yes, the end sections can be disassembled. Simply use a torque head drive to remove the screws in the horizontal 2×4′s and you will be able to separate the end into multiple sections. Once the pieces are brought to the placement location, simply reassemble the ends using the same screw holes. Everything will fit perfectly!
While the Barrel Sauna generally is used outdoors, there are some applications were the user desires it indoors, which makes ease of disassembly very important.
