Packing away
Packing a foldable sauna in four steps.
Setting up takes five minutes. Packing away takes a bit longer, mainly because the stove has to cool down first.
- Step 1
Let the stove burn out
Stop adding wood and let the fire die on its own. A stove that is still glowing goes nowhere. Allow 30 to 45 minutes before it is cool enough to touch.
- Step 2
Chimney and stove out
Take the chimney sections apart and tap the soot out. Empty the stove, sweep the ash away and set it aside to cool further.
- Step 3
Let the fabric dry
Leave the tent open for a while so the condensation on the inside evaporates. This is the step that gets skipped most often and prevents the most damage.
- Step 4
Fold and bag it
Pegs out, fold the frame in, fold the fabric double to the width of the bag. Roll up from the closed side so the air runs out.
The fabric
Made to be folded hundreds of times.
A foldable sauna lives or dies by its fabric. Oxford 300D with a cotton lining is sturdy enough to be folded for years, as long as you store it dry.
Folding itself rarely ruins a tent. Moisture does. That is why drying is a step of its own above, and not a footnote.
- Outer layer: 3-layer Oxford 300D
- Cotton lining against heat loss
- Fibreglass frame, attached to the fabric
- Tested in Dutch rain, wind and frost
Storage
Five things that make your sauna last years longer.
- 01Only store it bone dry, inside the fabric as well
- 02Not straight on a concrete floor, but on a plank or pallet
- 03Stove empty and free of ash, because ash attracts moisture
- 04Keep the chimney sections loose, not slid together
- 05Check the fabric for damp spots once per season
Winter storage
Where does it live the rest of the year?
The two bags together take up about as much room as a set of winter tyres. A corner of the shed, a shelf in the garage or the space under a workbench is enough. What counts is not how much room you have, but how dry that room is.
An unheated shed is fine. A damp cellar or a crawl space is not: the air stands still there and the fabric attracts moisture, even if you store it bone dry. Put the bags on a plank or pallet rather than directly on concrete, because concrete gives off moisture.
If you store it for a long time, check halfway through the season that everything is still dry. Five minutes of looking prevents you from unfolding a tent with mould spots in spring.
Or just leave it up
If you use it twice a week, folding it every time is a waste of your time. The tent can happily stay up in the garden for weeks at a time, as long as you dry it after rain and check the pegs after a storm. Folding is an option, not an obligation. Only for winter, or if you will not use it for months, is storing it really better.
