Buying a sauna is the best decision you can make with regards to health care and exercise, but before purchasing, you should consider how to install and assemble it at home.
There are many logistical things to consider, such as placement, power, and installation essentials. Do you know where to place it? Do you have the right power requirements (for significant lifestyle units, regular outlets, or 20 amps)? Do you want an indoor or outdoor sauna? Can you install it by yourself, or do you need some help? The list goes on and on, so here is a how-to breakdown of purchasing yourself a relaxing sauna!
What should I do before I buy an infrared sauna?
A sauna is the best product you can install at home for a healthy lifestyle, so keep that in mind when considering the different costs of a sauna. First things first, you need to figure out some important aspects before purchasing and enjoying your best sauna. Decide on a place in your home that you think is the most suitable for an infrared sauna.
Would you like to add it to the fitness room? The bedroom or bathroom? Create a one-person sauna? An outdoor infrared sauna? A zen room? Do you want everyone to see and experience it? Or do you want to keep it more personal and all about your alone-time?
Once you’ve decided on the perfect place for your sauna, consider the help you might need for the installation. Can you assemble the cabin yourself or do you need an extra set of hands or two?
What do I ask before buying a sauna?
Asking the correct questions is the key to buying the best sauna for you! Being prepared will minimize any anxiety about purchasing your home sauna. Besides, everyone loves a deal! Here are some questions you can ask:
- How do you pack a sauna?
- What is included in the shipping cost?
- How can I get the sauna into my house?
- Are the parts heavy or strenuous?
- Can I assemble it myself?
- What tools are needed to install a home sauna?
- How do I assemble a sauna?
- How long after installation can I start using the new single sauna?
How is the sauna packed and transported?
It all depends on the model, size, and type, plus the accessories you may have purchased. Typically, such items are shipped in a weight of approximately three hundred pounds. To avoid damage during transportation, many manufacturers place the boxes on pallets. Similarly, they may use plywood and strapping to create a protective crate around the box. So, you should expect your sauna in perfect shape!
What if the transportation company leaves the package outside of my home?
Getting a sauna from a big truck is not an easy task! However, you do have some options to make this job easier and smoother. You can ask your friends and family to give you a hand!
You can also try to request a truck with a lift gate. A liftgate is a convenient feature for many transport vehicles with electric or hydraulic operating platforms that reduce the amount of cargo from the truck’s chassis to the ground.
Then, all you have to do is move the box into your house!
Can I organize my best sauna?
Maybe! It all depends on your strength and convenience for the DIY project.
You want to make sure that the sauna is built correctly because it not only offers many incredible dry sauna benefits, but it is also a luxurious piece of furniture that adds a lot of value to your home. No matter where you place the sauna, you should expose at least two faces.
Therefore, during the sauna installation, you will obviously not want any scratches, stains, or any surface damage.
But keep in mind that you must somehow safely lift the top plate over your head and place it on the wall assembly. This may require some partners or professional help. If you are building a 6-person sauna, you will definitely need more elbow grease.
Do I need tools to install the sauna?
Many infrared saunas do not require any special tools, but it is best to have a set of pliers and a screwdriver on hand to ensure that you hold and securely tighten the screws.
How do I assemble a far-infrared sauna?
In general, assembly is straightforward, and a detailed description accompanies all saunas from the manufacturer. But this is a basic overview of installing a new home sauna:
- Place the base on the horizontal part of the floor near the power outlet
- Install the wall
- Install the ceiling
- Connect the electrical accessories
- Place the bench in the infrared sauna
- Place other accessories
After deciding which type of sauna to use, either dry or infrared,( both have amazing benefits) it is critical to ask the right questions to help you understand the transportation, delivery and installation process of your new health investment.
