The Sun Home Luminar sauna and the Sun Home traditional outdoor saunas are more of a comprehensive installation than our indoor saunas and require at least 2-4 people. To ensure the best experience possible we do recommend using a contractor for installation but it's not required if you are proficient in assembling furniture or items of that nature.
Before purchasing, we suggest reading the installation manual which outlines every step in the installation process and what is required. Assembly of your Sun Home sauna takes approximately 3-4 hours depending on the size of the model (2-5 person sauna models available).
Any electrical service for your sauna must be performed by a qualified and licensed electrician with complete knowledge of local codes and regulations. Please reference the specifications tab in the product page for electrical requirements of your sauna.
It is also very important to note that the delivery arrives on a large pallet curbside. Please ensure you have multiple people present at time of delivery to accept the package. The freight company will de-load the pallet from the truck and place curbside for you, but will not bring the pallet into your driveway or home unless you pay for white-glove delivery (contact info@sunhomesaunas.com for more info on this service) so we recommend you having multiple people available to transport the pieces from inside pallet to your desired location.
If the sauna cannot be unpacked right away, the crate must be stored indoors or in a dry, covered area to protect it from precipitation and moisture. Exposure to the elements can cause damage, and unfortunately, we cannot be held liable for issues resulting from the crate being left uncovered in unsuitable conditions.
Taking these precautions will help ensure the sauna remains in excellent condition until you are ready to assemble it. If you have any questions or need assistance with storage or assembly, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we hope you enjoy your sauna experience!
Once the sauna is on the ground, you will be responsible for moving the sauna pieces to where you want to install it. Luckily, most sauna pieces are light enough for 1-2 people to carry. To make things easier, we recommend having at least 2-4 helpers and a dolly or cart to move the heavier pieces.
