DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Decades ago we made a simple small boxy sauna tent, which was forgotten over the decades and replaced with larger, more intricate designs. The function and idea of that now long-lost design was brought back as the Hikimaja, our smallest, simplest sauna tent. The word “hikimaja” is Finnish for (about) “sweat cottage”, this is a very simplistic sauna tent built around the idea of making it as compact, simple and portable as possible.
The Hikimaja is built around a very simple geometry – it’s a box and that’s all. Four corner poles keep the tent upright, this design eliminates the need for a center bar and reduces the number of accessories to just four corner poles and four pegs. The corner poles are inserted into the sleeves on the outside of the tent, making the interior slightly less crowded. The materials are fire retardant for safety, but not fire proof, so sparks and flames will burn holes in them, so be careful.
The interior is large enough for a double sofa and the stove. The stove is at the bottom of the wall, the sofa against the opposite upper wall. The entrance is a simple zipper over the middle of the front wall, zipper – entry – zipper.
The tent, poles and poles can be neatly stored in a carrier bag for transport. A shoulder strap makes it easy to wear, so you have your hands free for heaters or other accessories.
INSTRUCTIONS – READ BEFORE USE!
We recommend two to four people to set up the Hikimaja. You need a hammer or similar tool to smash the poles into the ground.
Find a suitable flat spot about 3.5 x 3.5 m, beware of dangers:
Dry grass and undergrowth, trees and branches (fire hazard).
Uneven surface (heater or users may stumble and fall).
Unseed and insert the canes into the sleeves.
Spread out the tent cloth with sticks that are placed approximately in the desired spot.
Set one or two opposite angles at the same time:
Hammer a stick about in the ground. 150 cm from the corner.
Attach the corner rope to the pole with a reliable knot.
Repeat until all corners are in place and each shaving line is pinned to the ground.
Install the telescopic center pole, use the pen to adjust it for the correct height and tension.
Inspect the tent, correct if necessary by adjusting the poles, poles and ropes.
Install heater and bench.
Do not heat the Hikimaja above 75 °C, extreme overheating can damage the tent and is unnecessary – it is steam that makes the sauna pleasant, not hot air.
Enjoy (carefully)!
WARNINGS – READ FOR USE!
This sauna tent is designed to be heated with the Savotta wood stove and stone rack. If used incorrectly, the heated heater can cause numerous hazards and bodily injury:
Savotta sauna tents are not designed for long-term idling and must be disassembled, cleaned, dried and stored indoors between use. Sunlight will damage the substances over time. By keeping a tent upright for several months, it is damaged and any damage caused by this type of abuse is not covered by our warranty.
To prevent tent damage from falling sparks, the top of the chimney should protrude 100 cm above the chimney opening. We recommend burning hardwood to minimize the risk of sparks.
Although the substances are fire retardant and self-extinguishing, they are not fire-safe – sparks and flames damage and burn holes in the fabric. Heater heated tents will in normal use incur some burnt holes due to sparks that touch the fabric. This is normal wear and tear and easy to repair if necessary. Our warranty does not cover fire damage due to normal or incorrect use.
Use only stones intended for sauna use. Incorrect stones can burst when heated and cause injury due to flying shrapnel.
Sparks and heat from the stove can set fire to flammable material nearby, easily remove combustible material in and near the tent before use.
Always keep a generous bucket of water or a fire extinguisher within seconds of the tent if the heater is hot, be prepared to extinguish any fire!
The stove and stones are extremely hot when heated and can cause injury when touched.
The Hikimaja sauna tent is no longer in the Savotta range. This was replaced by the Hiisi 4 and Hiisi 2.
