WillowyBe Outdoor Sauna Tent Pro

So I should preface this by saying that this "is" a cheaper quality product than what you might get with something like a Sweat Tent, but it is close enough that it really doesn't matter. We've bought two of these, and there were slight variations in the placement of the exhaust hole, but it was not enough to affect functionality. Everything else was perfect. Some people have noted having issues getting the temperature up to an acceptable range with these tents, but I have found that it mostly just comes down to the wood. You *need* to have dry wood if you want to get above about 140F. This really isn't going to change much with a higher quality product or a more insulated true sauna. At the end of the day, you just have to use the right wood. We started using ours with oak that had only seasoned for about 6 months, and it just wasn't cutting it. After switching over to some fully dried ash wood we instantly had our temps shoot up to 180-190F. I'll start cycling in the oak again next year when it is closer to the correct moisture percentage. It also helps to measure out the depth of your furnace and cut your wood as close to that length as possible. You can get shorter logs to burn as hot, but it's just easier to manage the temperature over the entire furnace if the logs are full depth. I generally let this heat up for about 40 minutes before using it. I also tend to start the fire with the furnace vents fully open, and then switch the outlet valve to about 50% closed after I get in. This is all based off of the Willowybe furnace that is suggested as a combo with this tent, although I'm sure it would work fine with most others. I tried setting one of these up without using the entire length of exhaust piping supplied (about 10 feet cut down to maybe 6 or 7) and we quickly ran into the issue of embers landing on the top of the tent. You definitely want at least 3 feet of clearance over the top of the tent before the end of your exhaust line. Haven't had any issues since. Also try to avoid over-using paper as tinder. We usually just tear off a chunk from whatever the most recent Amazon shipping package to get ours started. Thin paper can travel up the exhaust more easily and burn holes in your tent. Assembly was a little bit of a pain, but it's way easier with a second person. I don't know how some people seem to have no issues with this at all. It's a little difficult to get the leverage to pop out the first side without someone there to hold the rest of it in place. That being said, it does not budge at all once it is set up, assuming you use your own ground ties. As other people have mentioned, the ones that come with this couldn't hold a hamster in place. Just go to any hardware store and pick up 4 spiral ground tie stakes. We set up our tent in an area where it can use the house as a wind-block, and we have not taken it down yet despite a few major storms passing through. All-in-all, if the thing lasts 2 years I'd be happy with it. It's 1/5 the cost of the other big brands... It does what it's supposed to do, and it does it well enough.

Great sauna tent. Holds heat really well and feels spacious inside. The chimney port works perfectly with a stove, and the window brings in nice light. A bit heavy to carry, but once set up it’s super cozy.

Set it up in the house to check it out. It was big enough for at least 4 People. It came wit a piece of spare cloth of the tent to show the layers. Easy to set up and take down. The chimney part could be covered if don’t want to use as a Sauna tent. Planning to take it to my kid's swim meet in February. So they don’t have to wait in cold weather between events.

This product could be a 5 or a 1 star depending on your needs and climate used in. Product came inside out so initial setup was very difficult with 1 person and might be a deal breaker for some buyers. There are no instructions included in the bag. Material is much thinner than expected. Can see daylight through all the stitching. Also, Zippers are poor quality and can see day light through them. Pros - Carry bag, has an outer flap along the bottom and also an inner flag around the base. Poles are sturdy. Stove Jack is Velcro so can take it in and out or change it out easily. Cons - Product height will be difficult to make benches where your feet will be above the Sauna Stove to experience true Loyly. No Rain Cover. If used Occasionally as a travel sauna then would say 4-5 stars but if you plan to set this up in your yard and leave it set up would say this becomes a 2-3star sauna due to the fabric used. Will it get the job done, yes. For a Sauna tent it is ready to go with stove Jack and ventilation. Personally I would give this Sauna Tent 3 stars due material used and being in the Northern Part of the US, not sure if this Sauna will work when it is -20F out. My original plan was to buy a higher rate thermal pop up fish house and add a stove jack. Which is probably a better option for a more permeant option. Even at 3 stars am excited to try it out.

I’m sad I waited so long to pull the trigger on this, I wish I would’ve bought it a year ago. For the money it’s amazing, it’s the same as any of the other expensive tents and it’s a great learning tool for starting your sauna adventures. I was planning various builds but wanted use this as a way to figure out whether I wanted a traditional wood burner vs electric in the future. I’m so happy with tent I may just stick with it for good. The Burner easily heats this tent to ~180F within 15-20 minutes, just throw a couple logs in with some kindling and do something else. It can easily get too hot for comfort, so if you’re worried about heat retention, don’t. You definitely need the rubber / fiberglass roof cover that’s ~$50 but it will keep your roof safe from ejected coals and UV damage. I would also recommend putting pavers inside with a decently tell bench, that will greatly improve your experience. All in for around $800 you have a great sauna that comfortably fits 3 adults. I’ve had mine for almost a year with no complaints, and at the end of the day a new tent is only $300 so the risk is very low. Regarding mobility, mine is meant to be stationary but if you were inclined this is definitely the most economical way to have a portable sauna.

I've been trying out different sauna sets for my family over the past year because my parents are really into longevity and wellness practices. They believe that using a sauna a few times a week has great health benefits, and having one at home makes it so much more convenient. The WILLOWYBE Outdoor Sauna Tent Pro is by far the best model we've tried. First off, it's incredibly spacious—easily fitting four people without feeling cramped. The insulation is top-notch, keeping the heat in effectively, which makes for a great sauna experience even in colder weather. It's also built solidly and can handle all kinds of weather, so we don’t have to worry about it getting damaged outside. The panoramic view is a fantastic feature, making the sauna feel open and relaxing rather than claustrophobic. Setup is surprisingly easy and quick, much better than other models we've used that took forever to assemble. Since we started using this sauna, my parents have been more consistent with their sessions, and they love it.

Worked great for a couple months now have holes in the roof

Excellent product. Someone needs to make a video of how to open it up. It is quick once we figured it out but it was not clearly shown in any videos. Be aware the plastic windows will degrade if you leave it in the sun every day. Would be nice if they had tie tabs on the tops of the window covers so you could roll them up.
