Installation & Delivery Guide

Installing a sauna is an exciting step in creating your home wellness space, but it is important to plan ahead so the delivery and setup process goes smoothly. At Sauna Source, we want customers to understand what to expect before their sauna arrives.

Because sauna models vary by size, construction, and manufacturer, installation and delivery requirements can differ from one product to another. Always review the product specifications carefully before placing your order.

Before You Order
Before purchasing a sauna, make sure you have reviewed the following:

• the final installation location
• the dimensions of the sauna
• the path from the delivery point to the final installation area
• doorways, hallways, gates, stairs, and tight turns
• flooring or base requirements
• ventilation needs, if applicable
• electrical requirements for the specific model

A sauna may fit well in the final room or outdoor location, but the boxed or crated components must also be able to reach that space safely.

Indoor Installation Considerations
For indoor saunas, make sure the installation area has enough clearance, proper flooring, and access to the required electrical setup. Common installation areas include home gyms, wellness rooms, basements, and garages.

Before installation, confirm:

• the space is level and suitable for the sauna
• the room has enough clearance for assembly and use
• the electrical service matches the product requirements
• the access path is clear for delivery and movement of components

Outdoor Installation Considerations
For outdoor saunas, additional planning is usually required. The installation area should be level, stable, and appropriate for the sauna model you choose. Customers should also think through weather exposure, drainage, and long-term placement.

Before installation, confirm:

• the base or foundation is ready
• the outdoor location is level and accessible
• the delivery path is clear
• the site can accommodate the sauna dimensions
• electrical planning is complete if required by the model

Delivery Information
Many saunas are delivered by freight due to their size and weight. Delivery service levels may vary depending on the product and manufacturer.

White glove delivery may be available on select products through the manufacturer. Because service levels vary by brand and model, customers should review the product details carefully or contact Sauna Source for guidance on what is included with a specific sauna.

What to Expect at Delivery
When your order arrives, it is important to inspect the shipment as soon as possible.

We recommend that customers:

• inspect the packaging for visible damage
• note any damage at the time of delivery when possible
• confirm the shipment matches the order
• contact us promptly if there are any issues

Assembly and Setup
Some sauna models are designed for simpler assembly, while others may require more time, planning, or professional help depending on the size and complexity of the unit.

Before your sauna arrives, it is a good idea to:

• review any available assembly instructions
• confirm the installation site is fully ready
• plan for help moving heavier components if needed
• confirm electrical readiness in advance
