Barrel Sauna Walkway Deck: The Perfect Match for an Outdoor Sauna

Benefits of Installing a Barrel Sauna Walkway Deck

The barrel sauna walkway deck can extend the service life of the sauna, improve the aesthetics of the outdoor sauna, create a comfortable and safe environment, and is a perfect match for the outdoor sauna. Let’s take a look at the details.

Improve the Aesthetics of the Outdoor Sauna

Installing a barrel sauna walkway deck adds decorativeness to the outdoor barrel sauna. If you just put an outdoor barrel sauna alone, it will be very monotonous. The barrel sauna walkway deck and the barrel sauna complement each other, enhancing the overall consistency of the outdoor sauna and improving the aesthetics of the outdoor sauna.

Extend the Life of the Barrel Sauna

The barrel sauna walkway deck raises the position of the sauna, making the barrel sauna a certain distance from the ground. This is of great benefit for maintaining the sauna.
Imagine that your barrel sauna is placed in your back garden. In the long run, the bottom of the sauna will be greatly damaged. If you encounter extreme weather such as storms, the increased moisture on the ground makes the wood of the sauna wet, which will further increase the degree of damage to the sauna.
Installing a barrel sauna walkway deck prevents the bottom of the barrel sauna from contacting the soil and being eroded by water, provides protection for the outdoor sauna room, and prolongs the life of the outdoor barrel sauna.

Create a Comfortable and Stable Environment

The barrel sauna deck provides a flat area for people to walk into when doing outdoor sauna, which provides convenience for people. In addition, the flat and gap-filled design of the barrel sauna deck reduces the risk of falling and improves the safety of outdoor saunas.

Multifunctional Use

The barrel sauna deck can also be used as a terrace. You can place tables and chairs on the deck as a relaxation and rest area before and after the sauna to create a more comfortable space. Installing a shower room or dressing room on the deck is also a good choice. You can also add other outdoor facilities according to your preferences.

How to Build a Barrel Sauna Walkway Deck That Works for You?

A barrel sauna deck not only enhances the aesthetics of your sauna area, but it is also very practical. I’m sure you can’t wait to find out how it’s built. Here’s how to design and build a barrel sauna walkway deck from scratch.

Determine Your Needs

When you start designing, you need to determine your needs for your walkway deck. The first step is to understand the size of your sauna and measure the available space around it to determine the size of the deck. Next, determine if you need to add a shower area or set up other areas on the deck.

Choose the Right Material

Barrel sauna walkway decks are usually made of the same wood as barrel saunas. Red cedar has a straight grain and is very resistant to decay. Pine has a natural color, is resilient, and is breathable.

Tools Needed to Prepare the Barrel Sauna Deck

Prepare tools: saw, drill, screws, screwdriver, deck spacing measuring tool, tape measure, nails
Materials: selected wood (Sanding, polishing and cutting of finished wood blocks)

Make the Foundation

Pour the concrete structure to make the foundation. The foundation consists of several concrete columns. According to your needs, lay the concrete columns reasonably at the edges and in the middle of the barrel sauna deck.

Build the Basic Frame

Depending on the length and width of the deck you need, make a rectangular or square frame with wood blocks. Use the deck spacing measuring tool to ensure the proper spacing.
Fix the frame with screws or nails. If you don’t want to fix the basic frame with screws or nails, you can leave slots when pouring the concrete structure and clip the wood strips into the slots.

Lay the Upper Deck

Lay the upper deck last. Use a drill to make holes in the deck and drive two screws into each support point of the deck until the screws are driven into the deck surface flush.

Notes

When using a drill or other tools, wear goggles and gloves.
For designs with stairs and multiple decks, it is recommended to consult a professional deck installer.

Daily Maintenance Tips for Barrel Sauna Walkway Deck

Routine maintenance will help extend the life of your barrel sauna deck. Here are some barrel sauna deck routine maintenance tips.

• Regular cleaning: Regularly clean the fallen leaves, stones and deposited dust on the barrel sauna walkway deck.
• Regular cleaning: The deck is in the open air and will accumulate a lot of dust, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. You can use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe it, and avoid using corrosive liquids.
