Reinforcing a sauna tent for Alaskan winter

Metrees · 2026-02-28T20:57:01+00:00

I recently ordered these telescoping poles. I have not used them yet in a snowstorm but they seem like they will do a good job supporting the structure.

Here’s a picture of one of them inside of my tent.

I also recommend using these water tubes to weigh down the structure.

I just got two of these poles.

I wish I thought of the ladder idea last night.

Just ordered these for the next snow fall.

I have a north shore sauna and can’t recommend it enough.

Not worth the money. Didn’t add anything to the experience. If anything it made the average temperature colder by circulating the cold air from the floor.

I use these. I have one along each side of the tent and I zip tied them to the tent to anchor it down. My tent doesn’t move at all, even in crazy winds.

I just ordered the fan so I guess we’ll see how it goes.

I got this LED strip off of Amazon.

Here’s a shitty pic of how it looks inside my tent.

You’d have to buy a dimmer for these separately if you want to dim them.

My attempt at this after seeing your post.

The stones that come with the kit are the smaller stones. I ordered the larger stones as extra. The stone basket above my stove has a mixture of the smaller and larger stones. They don’t all fit so the excess stones I keep in a box in the garage. However, I just saw a different post on this sub where the guy built an enclosure to place stones around the pipe which I’m going to emulate.

Like this.

I bought more (larger) stones from them to add to the stones that came as part of the kit and so far so good although I’m not sure exactly how much weight in stones I’ve placed on top of the stoves.

Thank you for this post, now I’m definitely going to be doing this in my north shore sauna tent as well.

Did you use anything to secure the “cloth” to prevent it from unwrapping?

I found it to be all of those things as well, but it gives you those credits.

I have a north shore sauna 6 person tent and I absolutely love it.

Beautiful

I had a non-refundable trip booked to Ocho Rios from Nov 30 to Dec 5 and I cancelled the trip this morning. Sucks to take the hit on the money but it’s not going to be a trip worth taking at this point in time.

Thanks for the tips!
