Which Sweat Pod size should I buy?
Choose Regular if you mostly sauna alone or with one other person. Choose Large if you want room for family, guests, or more space to stretch out. Regular seats 2 people, while Large seats 4 people.
How is The Sweat Pod different from a barrel sauna?
The Sweat Pod has a clean flat-roof silhouette, durable interior benches, a tempered glass front door, and an interior flat floor. It is the better choice if you want a more modern architectural look instead of the classic rounded barrel shape.
Can I use The Sweat Pod indoors and outdoors?
Yes. The Sweat Pod is built for indoor and outdoor use. It includes a Cedar Bevel Roof and should be placed on a flat, level surface such as concrete, pavers, compacted gravel, or a structurally sound deck.
Should I buy the regular Sweat Pod or the Black Edition?
Choose the regular Sweat Pod for most indoor and outdoor placements. Choose the Black Edition if the sauna will sit fully exposed in harsh outdoor conditions and you want the extra side wall and roof weatherproofing layers.
What foundation or base do I need?
The sauna should sit on a flat, level surface. Concrete slab, paver patio, compacted gravel, or a structurally sound deck are all valid foundations. Make sure the final placement has proper access and drainage before delivery.
How long does it take to heat up?
Typical warm-up time is 30-90 minutes depending on sauna size, heater selection, target temperature, and outside conditions. The Regular size usually heats faster than the Large size because there is less interior volume to heat.
What warranty does it include?
The Sweat Pod includes a 3-year limited warranty backed by Sweat Kingdom and supported by Saunass.
