![]() We recommend adding shingles to the roof of your sauna as they will significantly increase your sauna's longevity and water resistance. When the inside and outside of the sauna are dry, take apart the top portion of it and rebuild it with additional staves. If you are unable to close cracks by tightening the bands, it means you need to add more staves under the bands. If you notice the bands are loose, retighten them following the same process as when first installing. Check the tension of the bands every few months so you catch problems before they start. The wood will also naturally shrink with age so cracks can appear after a few years of use. The wood will naturally shrink during warm dry weather so cracks can appear after extended periods of warm weather. ![]() If you notice a substantial amount of seepage, this may mean that your bands have loosened, and water is getting in around the staves. A small amount of water seeping into the sauna isn’t going to hurt it and is likely due to condensation.
