Transcript

Okay, so this is what we did on the inside to strengthen up the sauna life um so that it could support the HUUM which has about 120 lb of rocks in it. We did two screws here into the frame uh away from the glass. And into the frame away from the glass. So the door frame has a lot of a lot of solid wood to eat into. And then we did it into the sides here and into the corner. So, we have a lot of strength in this. Now, one thing to keep in mind is that with the heater mount, you get screws based here. You have to make sure that the screws in these boards you're not going to be stuck into a gap between one of these. So, take care of that. Um, we're about 13 in off the ground, which the minimum is 12.5-ish. And the top of the Drop comes up to about right here, so it'll all be hidden. You won't be able to see a lot of the the stuff here. And uh the the glass is tinted, so it also makes it harder to see what's going on around the base.
