Common mistakes with Sauna Tent

To basting in one Sauna Tent Is a fantastic experience - smooth, flexible and a perfect solution for those who do not have room, building permit or budget for a traditional sauna. But even if Sauna Tent Are easy to use, there are some common mistakes that can impair the experience.

Here we go through the five most common mistakes we see - and how you avoid them!

 

Elag with the wrong wood - ensure high temperature and minimal smoke

Which wood you use plays a crucial role in how well your sauna works. We always recommend dry birch wood or other hard wood with high combustion. If you use moist or wrong type of wood you may experience:

- Low heat

- Smoking formation 

- sparks that can damage the canvas

Solution: Always use high quality dry wood to get a clean combustion and maximum heat.

 

Anchor the tent properly - prevent it from swaying or flying away

A Sauna Tent Need stability, and without proper anchoring it can start swaying at wind or in the worst case flying away at storm winds. This is important if you use the sauna tent as a permanent solution.

Solution:

- Use tent sticks and storm lines

- Place heavier weights around the tent for extra stability

- Ensure that the ground where the tent stands is flat and stable

By anchoring the sauna tent properly, you do not have surprises during windy days.

 

Salt water on the stove - prevent rust and extend the life

Sauna tent stove is made of stainless steel, but even the best material can be damaged by salt water. Salt accelerates the corrosion and can impair the stove significantly faster.

Solution:

- Avoid throwing salt water on the stones

- Rinse the stove if exposed to salt water or sea air

- Wipe and maintenance the stove regularly to prevent rust

A well maintained stove Guarantees longer service life and better sauna experience. Also always examine the type of stainless steel stove and chimney is made of. 

 

Buy from a rogue player - don't risk your investment

There are many Sauna Tent In the market, but unfortunately not all manufacturers are equally serious. We have received many mail and calls from customers who bought cheaper alternatives and then discovered that:

- the stove toasted after only a few uses

- Spare parts are missing

- no warranty or customer service offered

Solution:

- Always examine material selection, especially which stainless steel stove is made of

- Make sure the company offers warranty and spare parts

- Read reviews and investigate customer service before buying

Investing in quality from the beginning saves you both money and headaches in the long run.

 

No weather protection - let your Sauna Tent last longer

A Sauna Tent which stands out all year round is subjected to UV radiation, rain and snow. Over time, this can affect the canvas and windows if it is not properly protected.

Solution:

- Use a weather protection to protect the tent

- Place the sauna tent on a stable foundation to minimize wear

- If you use it permanently, choose a comprehensive protection

By taking care of your Sauna Tent Will you extend the life span and maintain the caval for a long time.

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.
