Sauna Tent Is a popular alternative for those who want to be able to bast almost anywhere - in the mountains, at the summer cottage or at home in the yard. But how portable are they really? Is it possible to carry long distances? And what weighs a complete Sauna Tent with stove?
In this post we go through what one Sauna Tent Weighs, why the weight looks like it does - and where the limit goes for what is reasonable to call portable.
So much weigh one Sauna Tent
The weight of one Sauna Tent varies slightly depending on the model, but most robust, high quality Sauna Tent Located in the span 17-20 kg for the tent and 20-24 kg for the stove. Together, there will be about 40 kg for a complete sauna package - excluding accessories. The stove and bag are divided into two separate bags, which makes transport manageable. But the bags are heavy, and we recommend that you are two people during transport - even for shorter distances. This makes the work both smoother and safer.
Accessories affect the weight
How much the sauna tent weighs in total also depends on which accessories you choose to bring. Many want to supplement the experience with water heater, stone basket, benches, sauna stones, bucket and ladle. Even a smaller amount of wood can quickly add several kilos to the total gasket. All this affects how you plan your transport and where you choose to best.
Portable - but not too long -hiking
A Sauna Tent Is portable in the sense that you can carry it, move it between places, load it in the car or bring it in the boat. But it is not developed to wander long distances. The weight is simply too high - especially with accessories - for it to be convenient to carry longer than a few hundred meters. This is a conscious design choice. Sauna Tent Should perform - not compromise.
Why is the stove so heavy?
The stove accounts for a large part of the total weight - and it is absolutely necessary. In order for a wood -burning sauna to reach over 100 degrees, even in snowstorm, one is required stove which is greatly built. We use steel with 1.5 mm thickness in the fire chamber to guarantee both heat and durability. Although a thinner steel would weigh less, but would not maintain the same temperatures or withstand the same load over time. We regularly evaluate the thickness to find the right balance between weight and performance - but function always goes first.
Why does the tent weigh so much?
The tent fabric is insulated and designed to withstand both moisture, heat and UV radiation. It is precisely the insulation that causes the sauna tent to reach the sauna temperature quickly and retain the heat even when it is cold outside. If you use simpler fabric without insulation, it will be easier - but you also get a much cooler and less effective Sauna Tent.
Are there any easier options?
Yeah there is easier Sauna Tent on the market - often with simpler wall materials and thinner stove. They weigh less and are easier to carry longer distances, but they rarely have the capacity to maintain high temperatures or resist wear over time. We have instead chosen to develop Sauna Tent which delivers a full sauna experience. This means higher weight - but also better heat, stability and comfort.
How to transport one Sauna Tent?
Most people use car, boat, scooter or quad bike to get to the site. On site, it is best to be two people who help carry the bags. Although the distance is short, it is easier, faster and safer to distribute the weight between two. Everything is packed in separate bags, but it is still large equipment. The sauna tent is built for performance, not for tours in the mountains.
Summary
A Sauna Tent with stove weighs a total of about 40 kg - and even more if you bring accessories such as water heater, stones, buckets, ladle And benches. Everything is divided into two bags, but they are heavy, and we recommend that you always are two people who are helped during transport. The weight is not a mistake - it is the result of conscious choice: thick steel in the stove, insulated walls and a construction that can withstand high temperatures even in minus degrees. This is a sauna that is portable - but without compromising the most important thing: the heat.
