Sauna Tent With Stove: All Day Sauna Co. Packages Compared
Share
A sauna tent with a stove is a portable, insulated tent heated by a wood-burning stove, so it needs no electrical hookup or plumbing. All Day Sauna Co. makes two 6-person packages that we sell: the Outdoor package at $2,450 and the Deluxe package at $2,850. See the full All Day Sauna Co. outdoor sauna tent collection, or read on to see what each package includes and which one fits your yard. We sell these products, and every price and spec below comes from our product pages and the manufacturer.
Short answer: Outdoor or Deluxe?
Choose the Outdoor Sauna Tent Package if you want the tent and stove and plan to add your own seating. Choose the Deluxe Outdoor Sauna Tent Package for $400 more if you want a rain cover, six stools and a full set of sauna accessories included. The tent, stove, capacity and heat-up time are the same on both.

How a sauna tent works
The tent walls are insulated, quilted and made with fire-resistant material, with a window panel and reinforced tie-downs. A stainless steel stove sits inside with a chimney through the roof, and Finnish rocks in the rock basket hold the heat. All Day Sauna Co. says the tent goes from 0 to 190°F in about 20 minutes. Ladling water on the rocks adds steam. Because heat comes from a wood fire rather than a plug, the tent works at a cabin, a campsite-style yard or a second home with no power at all.
It is a different experience from a built cabin. Heat is soft and wraps the whole tent, and you can pack it away at the end of the season. If you are still deciding between wood and electric heat, our guide to electric or wood-burning saunas compares the two. For a wider view of portable options, see are portable saunas worth it and the best portable sauna.
Space and setup
Plan for a level site. The manufacturer's diagram shows a 10 ft setup area and a tent about 7.5 ft wide. Secure the tent with the tie-downs and sand bags, and place the fire safety mat under the stove. The packages are designed so one person can set the tent up, break it down and move it, and the Deluxe page says it breaks down into pieces under 50 lb each. Keep it clear of overhanging branches, fences and anything that burns, and follow the manufacturer's stove clearances.
Rules differ by town and HOA, so check local fire and burn rules before you light it. Our guides on outdoor sauna permits and outdoor sauna clearance explain what to look for.
What the stove needs
Wood is the fuel, so you will load and tend the fire. Never leave a lit stove unattended, and wear heat-safe gloves when you load wood or touch hot surfaces. The All Day Sauna Co. leather sauna stove gloves are $60 and made for that job. Our guide to the best wood for a sauna and how to maintain a wood-burning sauna cover fuel and upkeep. If you want to see how stove size relates to room volume, read the smallest wood stove available or browse wood-burning sauna stoves.
Accessories worth adding
The Outdoor package gives you the tent and stove, so most buyers add seating and a few essentials. Flooring, stools, chairs and other accessories shown in some photos are sold separately.
- Pine Sauna Flooring, $500: interlocking tiles for a 10 x 10 ft footprint, so you are not standing on grass or gravel.
- Sauna Thermometer and Hygrometer, $50: a dual dial with hook and chain so you can read temperature and humidity.
- Water Bucket and Ladle Set, $79: black metal with wooden handles for steam on the rocks.
- 100% Australian Merino Wool Sauna Hat, $55, or the Japanese Mesh Sauna Hat, $45, to keep your head comfortable in the heat.
Compare that list with what the Deluxe package already includes before you buy accessories one by one, since the $400 difference may cover most of it.
Who a sauna tent suits, and who should buy a cabin
A tent suits you if you want a real heated sauna without wiring, you have a flat open spot, and you are happy to light a fire. It also suits renters, second homes and seasonal use because it packs away. If you want all-weather permanence, an enclosed bench layout or electric controls, look at our outdoor saunas or portable saunas instead.
Sauna use is for general relaxation and wellness. It is not a treatment for any medical condition, and if you are pregnant or have a heart condition or low blood pressure, talk with your doctor first.
