I love my Sweat Tent so far. Been using it almost every day for 2 weeks and it works amazing.

The wood fired stove gets extremely hot so I thought it would be smart to build a little fence or guard rail like you typically see in electric saunas to help barricade the stove and prevent people from accidentally touching it our bumping into it. I built mine out of Cedar wood And I thought it looked awesome!

However, after the first time using it, it almost caught on fire. I placed the fence probably within 2 inches of the stove itself and I did not realize that just simply proximity to heat could cause wood to combust.

I lit my stove and walked away for about 10 minutes to let it heat up. When opened the zipper door, smoke came out and I noticed the fence I had built was charred on one side and smoking. I was able to grab it and remove it from the tent before it actually caught on fire.

This has nothing to do with the Sauna Tent itself. Like I said, it has been amazing. My only issue has been with something that I decided to add to it myself.

I just wanted to put this warning out there for anyone with a similiar idea. Be careful about it potentially catching on fire.

Does anyone else have any better ideas or what did I do wrong? It’s not necessarily a problem that needs solving but it is just an added layer of safety from getting burned that I thought would also look nice.

Let me know what ideas you all have come up with. Thanks!
