Carefully unroll the metal strap. Remove the nut and
the washer from the bolt that is not fastened to the
metal strap. Place the metal strap around the sauna
where the screws have been placed.
At this point, the metal strap should be wrapping the
whole sauna. Place the bolt in the hole located at the
tip of the metal strap. Place the washer and the nut
on the bolt and fasten them. Make sure you don't
over-tighten the bolt. Tap the Staves with a rubber
mallet until the sauna forms a well-shaped circle.
Adjust the metal strap using locking pliers and an
adjustable wrench. Repeat this process with the
second metal strap.
