Frequently asked questions
- Is a sauna tent as good as a cabin?
- For traditional high heat outdoors, surprisingly close. You lose the permanence and insulation of a cabin, but gain portability and a much lower price.
- How fast does it set up?
- The Sweat Tent pops up in under a minute; the wood stove takes longer to reach temperature, as with any wood-fired sauna.
- Can you use it on a balcony or small yard?
- Yes, given safe clearance for the wood stove. Its small footprint is the whole point.
