What can Timber build for you?
Next Steps Before Receiving Your Sauna
This is a frequently asked question?
1. Foundation
Prepare your foundation. Once you have chosen the perfect location for your sauna, you will need to prepare its foundation. There are many options with the most common being decking, a poured cement slab, or 6-8 inches of gravel (or crushed rock) boarded by treated 4x6.
2. Electrical
If you are purchasing a sauna with an electric heater, consult with an electrician to make sure the process goes smoothly. Timber would love to share heater manuals and installation guides
3. Unloading
Choose between your unloading options for when your sauna arrives (crane, shed mover, etc.). Work with a Timber Team Member to align the date and time to have your chosen company ready. Timber has delivered to many states and may have recommendations to crane/shed mover companies. If there is no recommendation for your area then it is ultimately your responsibility to research and find a local crane/shed mover company.
4. Shipping
Timber ships via 3rd party companies. Prices vary depending on State.
5. Optional Pick-Up
You can pickup your sauna from our warehouse in Lansing, Michigan. Coordinate date and time with a Timber Team Member.
1. Unloading
A crane and/or shed mover will place your sauna on top of the foundation.
2. Installation
If you purchased an electric unit; have your electrician hook the sauna up to the electrical box. Refer to your heater manual.
3. Pack the heater
Refer to the heater manual provided to pack the sauna rocks correctly into your heater.
4. First Fire Up
It is important to fire up the sauna 1-3 times before using it for an initial break in. This allows you to insure it is running properly.
