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. 👍🏻

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 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.

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 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

Speaking of electricity bill going through the roof - I'm planning to get a wood fired sauna instead 😉

You need to protect is from the elements coat the outside with some kind of protective coating 🇨🇦🏴‍☠️

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

That’s a sweet setup for the sauna 🥵 next is the cryo chamber 🥶 So nice to see you all livin’ the dream!

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 👌

How strong is JAS NOW!! 😊👌

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💚💚💚💚🏋🇺🇸

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

I built my own a few years ago from a cheap load of Siberian larch and some big left over slates and lead. Since then it's become a constant process of refinement. Last upgrade was to the sound system and smart bulbs behind salt blocks for the lighting. It's one of those things you can go on for ever sanding, rounding and coating with sauna paraffin. Those barrel saunas look decent enough though if you don't want the hassle. Cedar is not cheap and should last a long time.

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 sauna with the electricity seems so easy to use. With the wood logs it takes so much more time to get the right temperature.

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

Teddy Swims is an immense talent ! Thanks for the recommendation 👍… I’m hooked and just booked tickets for Toronto in April!

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.

Lifting in the Matty frase shoes 😲 I get scared everytime mine come out the box to walk around at stores 😁🤣

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.

Getting one myself. But can’t decide on this one or the one without outside seating. Do u guys use that?

Craig and Jas making some serious gains!! Nice guys.

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

Sweet set up! Protect the ceiling directly above the heater as well :)

Are you putting shingles or other roofing on the sauna?

What about ice baths? What are the benefits and how does it compare to sauna use?

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!

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

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 bought an infared sauna from a rich couple that was moving. I payed a measly $400. :)

How long will it be before they get a cold tub?

beautiful yard... what are the other structures on the property? Green house...

Costco is in the USA right?? So did you buy this sauna from this USA shop, and had it shipped over to the UK??

81kg FS Jas- respect!

Any updates after using it for a couple of years? Has it helped with your fitness/workouts? Feeling of general health?

Loved the video! But I really need that “Sauna-playlist” in my life! 😅

Watching you front squat more than my DL 1rm is inspirational.

Great vid. You seem like a dead on fella. Did you work out the cost per session re. Electric?

Ngl Ive been nonstop listening to luke combs since you recommended him aha. I CAN'T STOP!!

Goals for adulthood; get a small sauna for the garden

How much does it cost to run the sauna on a monthly basis?

what power cord do you use to power it?

Are you still using it? Any updates on your sauna use after 1 year?

How long does it take to heat up to temp? Thanx

How long did it take to build

How is the sauna holding up?

What's the max heat this sauna can produce?

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

Had to watch over half the video to finally get to the sauna info

Is there a link to the Sauna?

How hot does it get? At least 180f?

How many Royce Dunns will it fit?

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. 😃

Electricity bill through the roof? Try a jacuzzi...also very relaxing for the muscles after a good WOD.

any update on electric costs from the sauna

Awesome stuff!! Do you have the model number?

Hey Craig, just curious why you chose a traditional/stone based sauna over an infrared sauna?

Curiious how it's holding up after the rain and seasons. That is my main concern.

What’s the update on the use of it?

How much to run it.

Bout time On Mama's... Luv Light Peace Respect With Consciousness and Intelligence Stay Motivated Ninja Warriors We R One Source of Energy... 👑👑🦁🌞 Of Man

now you just need a pull cord cold rain shower to complete the true Scandinavian Sauna experience. Skål !

You need to get some essential oils to put in the water bucket too. I recommend Lapland berries. Be - a - utiful

Should you stain the sauna if you plan to keep it for the long term ?

What about traditional vs infrared ?? I have heard infrared is better ??

Some of the Finnish wisdom for all the legends out there haha

Looks GREAT!!! Enjoy! 🔥

6:55 for the sauna bit

Wishing you all the best, Craig! #Jas.

Barrel Saunas also available in Montreal Canada, under the name Montreal Saunas.

I would love to have one of those saunas too.

Y’all reminding me of Pulp Fiction with that hose off after the sauna!

Everything Costco is great.

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 bought this sauna, because of this video. Thanks team!

How hot dose it get?

Injury free and as strong as possible. The goal of us all.

Cold expore could be use old milk bulk tank.

that sauna is sooo nice!!! jealous.

Are you competing in Strength in Depth this weekend ?

Do you not get some of the benefits from hot showers ??

Maybe build a little roof over it keep it out of the weather ?

that’s awesome.

What's the cost put a link in the description pls

Whooooo go Jas!!! Yeeeeeeahhh!

No link!!!????

Veddy nice!

I love Jaz black long sleeve shirt !!

when are you getting a ice bath for the all round experience?

you can switch the oven to a wood burning one

Here in Arizona you simply have to go outside.....

Legends!

Meanwhile Kala in the background chewing on a giant log 🤣🤣

Sauna is a rocking don't come a knocking

You just need to put in a plunge pool next to the sauna now

If you live in florida you’re in a sauna 24/7

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.

Jas numbers are getting up there!
