Care guide for Sauna Tent

A Sauna Tent Is built to withstand intense temperatures, moisture and weather - but just as with all outdoor equipment, the service life is greatly extended if you take care of it properly. Regular maintenance not only means that the tent lasts longer, but also that every session becomes fresh, safe and relaxing.

Here is a simple but complete maintenance guide for how to care for your Sauna Tent - From cleaning and drying to storage and repair.

Cleaning - fabric, frame and floor

The sauna tent does not gather sweat, but it can still be dirty during outdoor use - especially if you are struggling in forests, by sea or on gravel soil. Use a damp cloth or soft brush to wipe off the outside and inside of the canvas. For dirtier parts you can use a mild soap solution, such as soap in lukewarm water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel.

The removable tidy floor can collect both moisture, leaves and sweat - especially after longer sessions. Wash it regularly with a cloth and a mild soap solution. 

Remember to also wipe tent arches, zippers and fittings, especially if you have been at the coast or in a sandy environment where salt and particles can give rise to corrosion over time.

Drying - air after each use

The tent does not have to be completely dry to be used again, but after each session you should make sure it is allowed to dry up properly before packing it. Use a towel to wipe off visible moisture, and leave the tent airy for a while - preferably in the shade.

Avoid leaving the tent in strong sunlight for a long time. UV radiation slowly breaks down the fibers of the textile and affects both color and life. Here, a separate weather protection makes a big difference - it protects both rain and UV and is one of the most important investments you can make to extend the tent's lifetime.

Storage - Choose a dry and ventilated location

When the tent is not used, it should be stored dry and cool. Make sure it is properly aired before packing it in your bag. Avoid storage in moist spaces such as basements, unheated stalls or near heat sources. Moisture in combination with confinement can cause odor, discoloration or mold growth.

If the tent is set up permanently outdoors, make sure the soil below stays dry and that the tent is regularly ventilated.

Repair - things can happen, and it's okay

A Sauna Tent Often used in nature, and it is perfectly normal that sometimes wear occurs. It can be a tear in the canvas, a hole from a glow or a stitch that loosens. The important thing is that small injuries are taken care of on time.

For smaller holes we offer repair patches that are easy to paste. They protect against both moisture and wear and can be used both temporarily or as a permanent solution.

If something bigger breaks down - zippers, tent arches, window films or other components - there are usually spare parts available. There is no disaster if something happens. Almost everything can be cooked, and with the right part, the tent is soon in full function again.

stove and accessories - so they last longer

The stove needs to be cleaned at regular intervals. When it has cooled completely, wipe the outside with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid strong detergents or slightly grinding. Also, check the chimney and smoke walks regularly to make sure there are no soot blocks or moisture.

Make sure the stove is completely dry before packing it. Store in a dry and ventilated place, preferably in their bag. In case of incorrect storage, rust may occur, especially on weld joints or other vulnerable steel components.

Always use dry wood - preferably björk - And fire with a decent amount to avoid overheating that can affect both steel and canvas.

Closing advice

A Sauna Tent Must tolerate a lot - and so do, as long as it gets the right care. Dry, breathe, protect against UV, cook small things in time and store in the right place. If something breaks along the way, there are spare parts for almost all possible scenarios - and most of it can be solved without any hassle.

Heat between the sessions

After each surf session, they gathered in our Sauna Tent. It became a place to regain warmth, rest their muscles, and talk through what they had just experienced. Maybe even reflect on why they truly chase those perfect waves.

And for us, that's exactly what the sauna is all about. Not just heat – but the rhythm of recovery, performance, and community. A place to land.

That our Sauna Tent got to be part of such a journey – together with some of the world's most dedicated surfers – is something we are incredibly proud of.

Who are they?

Freddie Meadows

is Sweden's most experienced professional surfer. After ten years on the competition scene, he chose to follow his heart and start exploring Scandinavian coastlines – with the goal of finding world-class waves in our northern waters.

Nic von Rupp

Hailing from Portugal, he is known for surfing some of the biggest waves ever at Nazaré. He is a multiple championship winner, documentary filmmaker, and has twice been nominated for the World Surf League's "Big Wave Performance of the Year."

Andrew Cotton

Born in the United Kingdom, he is a pioneer of Big Wave Surfing in Europe. He has towed surfing legends into record-breaking waves, gained global recognition, and pushed the boundaries of what British surfing can be – while balancing his career with life as a parent of young children.

Sauna + surf = an obvious combination

There is something special about the contrast between cold and heat, performance and stillness. The chaos of the waves meets the calm of the tent. And for those who surf in Arctic conditions, the sauna is not a luxury – it is a necessity.

Where will the next wave happen? We don’t know. And we’re not supposed to know. But one thing is certain: our Sauna Tent will be there.

Authentic Sauna Tent Experience.

The perfect solution for those who want to enjoy a sauna anywhere, anytime, and with anyone.
