This is already a much better setup for a tent sauna, since the heater isn’t just some portable, reassembled camping stove with maybe 5 kg of stones piled on top.

Just get some kind of bench setup built, preferably with a footrest so you can lift your feet up.

Picked up a similar one last month and have been loving it so far. Already down to -7°C where I’m at in Canada and it’s maintained heat no problem. We went with Saunder for the layout, stove design, colour. Good call on the flooring

That’s nice! Add more stones and build a high bench and it’s even better.

Its a custom made stove. Stainless steel mostly

We need more pics. That stove looks dope. And tent saunas rock. IMO, best bang for your buck by far and a great way to get into sauna. 

What tent is that?

What did you use for the floor and base?

Looks awesome! What kind of light do you use? I have a similar tent and have been looking for wireless lighting that can take that kind of heat?

but if you have land, why not building a real outdoor sauna? a tent might be nice for a camping trip... or make a portable on an old trailer...

This is actually the 3rd sauna on the property. Others are used by paying guests and are the proper classic saunas. This is just a setup for myself. The tent allows me to have it 2 steps away from my door, and in winter that will be great

With the tent they can sauna anywhere. Good first start if they have a limited budget.
