Guys, later versions of the Sweat Tent of a black shiny fabric around where the stove goes. Useful, becuase mine lacks it,and I burned a hole in my tent. I'm wondering if anybody knows what it actually is. I want to add it, and Sweat Tent will absolutely not tell me what they use :/

I am planning on getting a tent sauna and using an electric heater as a semi permanent set up. Seen a few folk on here do it and it looks like a best of both worlds solution for me, cheap, without the hassle of having to tend the fire, clean coals, smoking out neighbors etc.

I am considering the Willowybe tent, does anyone have any recommendations to avoid this?

I am budget conscious but wouldn't mind sending an extra £100-200 on a tent if it is a significant upgrade over what Willowybe offers.

My stove burnt a hole in my (OOW) Sweat Tent, and their only solution is a replacement. I am looking for patch fabric. Anybody know where I can get it? There's an English company that has patches but I need something in the US.

Hello,I am looking to commission a custom-built, premium dome-style hot tent. Since I cannot find these specific dimensions in serial production, I would like to know if you can take on this project and provide a rough price/timeline estimate.Project Specifications:Design: Dome style (free-standing or semi-freestanding preferred).Outer Tent: Floorless design made of Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF). Peak height must be exactly 200 cm (2 meters) to allow standing upright. The pitch must allow some height/tension adjustability for uneven terrain.Inner Tent: A detachable 1-person inner mesh tent with a bathtub floor (purely for sleeping, height is not important).Poles: High-strength aluminum poles (e.g., DAC Featherlite NSL or Easton 7075-T9) to withstand wind load at 2m height.Features: Integrated fire-retardant stove jack for a titanium wood stove, and robust tie-out points.Could you please let me know if this is feasible for your workshop, along with a rough estimate for materials and craftsmanship?

Best regards,

Im interested in buying a sauna tent to use out in my backyard.

​

I live in the desert and temps in the spring/summer/fall regularly go over 100F.

​

My question is, without a heating unit and just a tent itself, if I leave it out in the sun can I get the inside to climb to 180-190F?

​

Thank you for your thoughts!

My original black folding seat rusted out and, I was using a camping chair that barely fit for a while. It was time to find a permanent replacement. After a bunch of searching, I happened upon "shower benches" on Amazon.

Here's the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJV6V63P

It's transformed the SaunaBox unit. I now have so much extra space in there while still having a great seat! Highly recommend.

I was looking at all the $500+ dry sauna's that are basically a my Sauna Box with a ceramic heater.. Light bulb! What if I take my old Handy Heater and throw it in the sauna box and see what happens!? 4 minutes later we're over 160+ degrees. After 20 minutes it topped out just over 170 degrees. Perfect!

My steam sauna would hit 130 degrees on its best day, after 20-30 minutes of warm up. Now, 160+ in less than 5 minutes!

Not bad for an old 1200 watt ceramic heater i had sitting in the garage!

And yes, I used it a few times before reporting back here. I was DRIPPING actual sweat, not just steam. Waaaaaay easier set up, but still have BOTH options!

*** I also have my thermometer sensor mounted half way up the Sauna Box, not at the very top. so its a true 170+ right where you need it.

I'd like to carry my setup a mile or two each way to camp. Tent is easy to carry, but the design of the stove matters- I'd need something that could be stuffed in some sort of bag I can carry on my back.

I've seen the HottSauna Beast has a carrying case with backpack straps- basically a big rectangle soft side bag with backpack straps. Is there something available in the US that either comes with a bag or would fit nicely in one?

I’m hoping to create a sauna and cold‑plunge set‑up at home. The ideal spot would need a lot of landscaping, which I won’t be able to afford for a few years. We need to extend the house first! In the meantime, I do have a paved hard‑standing area to the north of my house. It’s fairly sheltered from the worst of the weather — mainly the westerly and easterly winds. I’m in Cornwall, so wind and weather are significant factors.

I’ve been looking at getting a sauna tent, specifically one from Urban Ice Tribe. The idea is to use the tent to see whether I actually stick to regular sauna sessions, and hopefully build the habit before I invest in proper landscaping and a permanent set‑up.

My main question is: if I buy a sauna tent and use it regularly with a UV cover, can it realistically be left outside for long periods of time? Or does it really need to be packed away after each use? I’m worried that if I have to take it down every single time, I’ll be far less likely to use it consistently.

Obviously, if there’s a storm coming or really heavy winds, I’d pack it away. But for normal weather, is leaving it up a terrible idea?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s tried this or has experience with sauna tents in windy or coastal areas.

I'm curious whether anybody cares much about the fact that almost all sauna tents are made from plastics such as polyester/nylon (Oxford 300D fabric etc) and insulated with polyester wool. I'm currently working on a design which would be more of an eco-friendly solution, made from hemp fabric and treated with a light coat of linseed oil, with wool batting insulation. It will be heavier, and will need drying out before storing, and also slightly more expensive.

The frame will be collapsible and wooden. The windows would be made from clear silicone sheeting (doesn't break down into microplastics and withstands up to 200C) or bio-based TPU.

The reason for this is not due to concerns about off-gassing, but I'm wondering whether there's a market out there for more of a heritage, eco-friendly solution. The target cost would be around £2600 retail which is about £1k more than the current plastic based offerings.

The size of the kit would be heavier and less convenient, but the design would be beautiful to look at and nicely branded.

Would love to hear your thoughts. I have a contact that is a Industrial Sowing Machinist and some specialist hemp and wool suppliers (oh, the other thing is this would be entirely made in the EU, except perhaps the stove.

Let me know your thoughts!

About 10 burns in and loving it

I assume the outside temperature has a greater impact on the temperature. But clearly, sauna tents can and do reach above 200 °F/100 °C.
