SaunaSoul Partnership - Become a Tent Sauna Ambassador and Grow Your Rental Business
A tent sauna offers the flexibility that traditional barrel saunas lack: it's suitable for small gardens, allotments, and events. It's a wellness experience that people love—and a viable, scalable business idea.
Introduction - The history of the barrel sauna... in the parking lot.
A few months ago, we wanted to rent a sauna for a friend's birthday. The only options available were mobile barrel saunas. Cost: 300 PLN for a few hours + 250 PLN for transport. Sounds good, but... the sauna had to be parked in the parking lot in front of the house . Every time we left, we were met with concrete, random passersby, and no atmosphere.
Now imagine the same party… in the garden. A tented sauna right behind the house, soft grass underfoot, soft light, privacy, a cup of tea by the fence, steam rising in the cool air. Two different stories. And this is where the tented sauna wins.
Why a tent sauna has an advantage
- It will fit in places that no one else can – small gardens, residential areas, terraces, beaches, and intimate events. Without heavy transport or access.
- Mobility and simplicity - fits in the trunk, sets up in about 15 minutes, heats up quickly.
- An experience that sells – a private atmosphere instead of public parking in front of your home. People will remember that :)
- Visual and Instagram attraction - photos and stories that fascinated guests take and share with their friends - perfect free word-of-mouth marketing.
How much can you earn by renting a portable sauna?
Average rates for portable and mobile sauna rental in Poland:
- 250-300 PLN for the first day
- 150-200 PLN for the second day
- 100-150 PLN for each additional day
A weekend (Friday-Sunday) typically generates 500-600 PLN of revenue . This means that the investment in the Comfort Set (approximately 7,800 PLN) can pay for itself in just a few weekends, and with regular rentals... in just a few months!
Who is this business for?
- Cottage and agritourism owners - increasing the attractiveness of the offer and ratings.
- For lovers of wellness and winter swimming , the winter season is a goldmine.
- Event planners and animators - hen and stag parties, integration events, festivals, retreats.
- Vanlife / outdoor - The perfect addition to your camper rental, and the only sauna you can take outdoors.
- Creators and local community leaders - Do you have an association or group of active enthusiasts? Or perhaps you're part of a group of walruses? A sauna brings people together, much like a bonfire or barbecue.
7-step start-up plan

- Scaling - add a second set, B2B collaboration, permanent partnerships.
Events and community
The tented sauna is a hit at stag and hen parties, birthdays, corporate events, festivals, vanlife gatherings, and winter swimming. Each event generates photos, shared stories, and recommendations—and that really drives more bookings!

FAQ - frequently asked questions
Do I need permits?
When setting up on private property, please obtain permission from the property owner. At public events, check the venue regulations and speak with the property owner/caretaker.
How to transport and set up?
In the trunk of your car. Our sauna fits in most passenger cars with one seat folded down!
Two people can set up the set in about 15 minutes - yes, it's that fast!
Can we rent without a car?
Absolutely! Your business model depends entirely on you; after all, you own the sauna. We provide an instructional video so your customers can pick up the sauna from you in person and set it up themselves.
Do I have to rent a sauna to be your partner?
No! Maybe you'd like to use it privately, but give people the option to see it in person, touch it, and share their own sauna experiences?
Let us know what you need and how you would like to promote our brand, we will find the perfect solution for you.
