Delivering a Luxury Sauna – No Sweat!
Wildhut was established by two British female entrepreneurs, Lisa Deller and Thaisa Box, who were passionate about raising awareness of the staggering psychological and physiological health benefits of authentic, high-end luxury outdoor sauna cabins.
With a Tuli 4-person garden sauna to deliver to a new client in the New Forest, Wildhut approached Southdown to see whether they could coordinate its tricky installation, including transport and careful positioning of the sauna hut in the client’s rear garden, across manicured lawns, through the trees, past the football goals and over the chalet into its final destination on a pre-installed concrete pad. And relax!
Ground protection would also be essential along this winding grassed route, to spread the weight of one of the company’s many 32 tonne rigid lorries plus this fully-assembled sauna cabin. So the team laid anti-slip ground mats, made from recycled polypropylene and able to support a 45 tonne lorry. But so too would a couple of steel road plates to one garden section where previous muck-away lorries had caused a significant dip that would otherwise have rendered the route impassable for a lorry. With everything in place, the delivery commenced.
The job went seamlessly – and to plan – but that’s the benefit of having all these elements within the business: combining the ground protection and crossing plate installation team with expert drivers in the transport team.

Or if you’ve a sauna, hot-tub, spa, swim-spa or pool shell to install, and it needs transport to or lowering into your intended location, over your house, cave, trees – or even your neighbour’s house – then we can also take away the stress and sweat (in a slightly different way to one of these delightful Wildhut saunas) by making it all happen smoothly, on time and within budget. Give us a call!
