Savotta Hiisi 2 Two-Person Sauna Tent

We recommend two to four people for pitching the Hiisi 2. You need a hammer or similar tool for striking the stakes into the ground. We recommend using a sauna thermometer (scale up to 100°C at least) to prevent overheating and help you get the perfect temperature.

1. Find a suitable flat spot ca. 3.5 m / 11' squared and beware of hazards:
   • Dry grass and undergrowth, trees, and branches (fire hazard)
   • Uneven ground (stove or users may trip and fall)
2. Unpack the tent sheet and insert the corner poles into the sleeves.
3. Spread out the tent sheet with poles inserted roughly where you want it.
4. Erect one or two opposite corners at a time:
   • Hammer a stake into the ground approx. 140/160 cm (same as wall height) from the corner.
   • Attach the corner guy rope to the stake with a reliable knot.
   • Repeat until all corners are standing and each guy rope is staked to the ground.
5. Inspect the tent, correct if necessary by adjusting the poles, stakes, and ropes.
6. Install stove and bench (optional).
7. If available attach, a sauna thermometer (up to 100°C) to the line hanging from the ceiling.
   • The thermometer should hang 140 cm above ground.
8. Do not heat the interior over 75°C; extreme overheating may damage the tent and is unnecessary – it is steam that makes the sauna enjoyable, not hot air.
9. Enjoy (with caution)!

Operating Warnings

This sauna tent is designed to be heated with the Savotta wood-burning stove and stone rack. If used incorrectly, the heated stove may cause numerous hazards and bodily harm.

Only use stones intended for sauna use. Improper stones may crack when heated and cause injury through flying shrapnel.

To avoid tent damage from falling sparks, the chimney top should extend 100 cm above the chimney port. We recommend burning hardwood to minimize the risk of sparks.

Sparks and heat from the stove may light nearby combustible material on fire; remove any easily combustible material inside and near the tent before use.

Always keep a generous bucket of water or a fire extinguisher within a few seconds' reach of the tent when the stove is hot, be prepared to put out any fire if necessary!

The stove and stones are extremely hot when heated and will cause injury if touched!

Inspect the ground for any hot embers after use and extinguish these with water.

Material Cautions

Savotta sauna tents are not designed for prolonged stationary use and should be dismantled, cleaned, dried, and stored indoors between uses. Sunlight will damage the fabrics over time. Keeping a tent pitched for a few months straight will damage it and any damage due to this type of misuse is not covered by our warranty.

Although the fabrics are fire retardant and self-extinguishing, they are not fireproof – sparks and flames will damage and burn holes in the fabric. Stove-heated tents will (in normal use) suffer some burned holes from sparks hitting the fabric. This is normal wear and tear and easily patched if needed. Our warranty does not cover any burn damage either through normal operation or misuse.

The window material meets very strict requirements for non-toxic composition and performance in a very wide temperature range. As a side-effect, the material reacts easily with dyes and may have picked up discoloration from the fabric already during storage and shipping. This is an unavoidable feature and not covered by our warranty.
