Hi all. I am working on buying a 1 person FIR sauna but do not walk at all. I can transfer, so I thought of driving my wheelchair right up to the door and then hsving a grab bar attached so that I can pivot around onto the bench. Has anyone here done this or know of a better way??? The Fir sauna places that I have asked don't have a clue!
Thanks.

The handicapped units are close to $5,000 from them. When I said that I really just needed a grab bar- they said that they couldn't help me and actually were not very nice or helpful!
Oh well- I'm glad that you had a good experience with them.
I guess I'll keep looking!
