Here’s a polished version, along with a possible translation into the language used in scientific papers:
Start by removing all the interior items — the benches, heater, lights, towels, water bucket, etc.
Remove any exterior pieces like the door and removable trim.
Disassemble and Load
Disassemble your sauna in the reverse order of how it was assembled.
First, remove the roof and set it aside.
To protect your sauna from damage in transport, you’ll need several pieces of 1/2-in. to 1-in. thick foam, about four to six inches wide and eight feet long.
Remove the lag screws from one of the side walls. With a helper, place the exterior of the wall face down, centered on the trailer and over the wheels.
Place another two pieces of foam on the wall. Then remove the lag screws from the other side wall, one wall at a time — first the front wall, then the back.
Place the other side wall on the trailer with the exterior facing up. Again, adding more foam pieces, place the front wall, then the back wall onto the pile with foam between them.
Next, load the roof and the floor base. The benches, door and heater will have to go in the back of your car or truck.
Securing the Load
Secure your load using two-inch heavy-duty ratchet straps.
Starting on the back right of the trailer, connect the hook end of the strap to the trailer, crossing the strap over to the left front of the trailer.
Tread the strap through the slot in the ratchet and pull all the straps through until tight. Connect the ratchet hook to the trailer and tighten the strap with the ratchet.
Do the same on the other side from the back left to the front right, crisscrossing the straps in the middle. Tie off any excess strap and secure it.
Always travel at a safe and moderate speed in transport. Periodically stop and tighten the straps.

To safely transport your sauna, follow these steps:
Remove all interior items, such as the benches, heater, lights, towels, and water bucket, and any exterior pieces, like the door and removable trim.
Disassemble your sauna in the reverse order of how it was assembled, starting by removing the roof and setting it aside.
To protect your sauna from damage during transportation, use 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick foam, four to six inches wide, and eight feet long. Place foam on both sides of the exterior face of each wall.
With a helper, remove the lag screws from one side wall, place the exterior of the wall face down, centered on the trailer, and add more foam. Then remove the lag screws from the other side wall, and place it on the trailer with the exterior facing up. Add more foam, and place the front wall, then the back wall, on the pile with foam between them.
Load the roof and floor base, while putting the benches, door, and heater in the back of your car or truck.
Secure the load with two-inch heavy-duty ratchet straps, crossing the straps from the back right of the trailer to the left front and from the back left to the front right. Crisscross the straps in the middle and tie off any excess strap.
Always travel at a safe and moderate speed, periodically stopping to tighten the straps.

I found this article incredibly helpful for transporting my sauna safely. The tips were easy to follow and practical.
The step-by-step guide for loading and unloading a sauna was incredibly helpful. It can be a challenging process, but the article made it seem much more manageable.
I appreciated the section on choosing the right vehicle for transporting a sauna. This is an important consideration that many people might overlook.
I found the section on using a trailer hitch to transport a sauna particularly helpful. I had never considered this option before, but it seems like a great way to make transportation easier and more secure.
The safety tips in this article were really valuable. Saunas can be heavy and unwieldy, so it’s important to take the necessary precautions when transporting them.
I never would have thought to remove the heater from the sauna before transporting it, but it makes so much sense. Thanks for the helpful tip!
As someone who has never transported a sauna before, this article provided a great starting point. I feel much more confident now that I have a plan in place.
The article provided some great suggestions for securing the sauna during transport. This is an area where a lot of people might not be sure what to do, so the guidance was much appreciated.
