Designed for up to 6 people, the Nova 6 is a larger portable sauna tent built for shared sauna sessions, families, friends, and group wellness experiences. Its approximately 7.5' × 9' footprint provides generous interior room while preserving the convenience of a portable design.

The Nova 6 is designed in Duluth, Minnesota, and the tent-only configuration weighs approximately 48 lbs. When packed, it measures approximately 68" long × 12" in diameter, making transport and storage practical compared with a permanent sauna structure.

At Wellness Edge Frontier, we carefully curate premium wellness products that combine functionality, portability, thoughtful design, and an elevated outdoor experience.

Why You'll Love It

Spacious 6-Person Capacity

The Nova 6 is designed for up to 6 people, making it especially suitable for families, friends, social sauna sessions, and group outdoor wellness activities.

Generous 7.5' × 9' Footprint

The Nova 6 provides an approximately 7.5-foot-wide by 9-foot-long footprint, giving users significantly more interior room than smaller portable sauna tents.

Wood-Fired Sauna Experience

The Nova 6 is designed around a wood-burning sauna stove, allowing the tent to reach the higher temperatures associated with traditional sauna use. Current product information lists 200°F+ as the target operating temperature.

Rapid Heat-Up

Current manufacturer information indicates approximately 30 minutes to reach 200°F+, depending on ambient temperature, fire management, wind, setup, and other operating conditions.

Portable 48-Pound Tent

The tent-only configuration weighs approximately 48 lbs, making it practical to transport between locations without the logistical demands of a permanent sauna cabin.

Compact Packed Dimensions

The Nova 6 packs to approximately 68" long × 12" in diameter, providing a manageable storage and transportation profile.

Durable Insulated Fabric Construction

Detailed product specifications identify a construction using two layers of 300D Oxford fabric with a layer of insulation ultrasonically quilted between them. This construction is designed to support heat retention while remaining lightweight and portable.

Fiberglass Rod Frame

The tent frame uses fiberglass rods with metal hubs, providing a lightweight structural system suited to the portable pop-up format.

Dedicated Chimney Opening

The Nova 6 includes a 3 5/8-inch chimney hole/opening designed for the wood-stove chimney system. A stainless-steel ring set into a fire-resistant silica material is identified as part of the chimney-jack assembly.

Rain Cover

The Nova 6 tent configuration includes a rain cover, helping protect the tent during outdoor use and providing a weather-oriented layer around the chimney area.

Ground Stakes & Tie-Down Rope

The tent-only package includes ground stakes and tie-down rope, helping secure the structure during setup.

Window Coverings

The detailed tent-only specifications identify window coverings for all windows, allowing users to manage light and privacy as needed.

Built for Group Comfort

North Shore Sauna describes the Nova 6 as its "sweet spot" for community, balancing the space required for up to six people with the portability expected from a sauna tent.

Designed for Your Wellness Edge Frontier Space

The Nova 6 Sauna Tent is a strong choice for customers who want a larger shared sauna experience without investing in a permanent backyard structure.

Its approximately 7.5' × 9' footprint provides room for up to six people while the lightweight tent construction allows the sauna to be transported and set up in different outdoor locations.

Set up the Nova 6 in a backyard, at a cabin, near an outdoor recreation area, or at another appropriate location where wood-burning sauna operation is permitted. Its larger footprint also makes it practical for group gatherings and outdoor wellness events.

At Wellness Edge Frontier, we believe premium wellness equipment should adapt to your lifestyle and the way you want to use your space.

Installation & Setup

The Nova 6 uses a portable pop-up tent construction rather than a permanent cabin structure.

Detailed specifications identify its fiberglass-rod frame and metal hubs, allowing the structure to be assembled and disassembled for transport and storage.

The installation area should always be:

• Stable and reasonably level
• Appropriate for a wood-burning stove
• Free from combustible obstructions
• Large enough to maintain required clearances
• Suitable for safe chimney operation
• Adequately ventilated

Because the Nova 6 uses a wood stove, the setup requires considerably more attention to fire safety than an electric portable sauna.

Outdoor Installation Considerations

Before operating the Nova 6:

• Secure the tent with the provided stakes and tie-down rope.
• Place the sauna in an appropriate outdoor location.
• Maintain all required clearances around the stove and chimney.
• Ensure the chimney is assembled according to the stove manufacturer's instructions.
• Keep combustible structures, vegetation, and other materials away from heat sources.
• Never use the wood stove inside a conventional building or enclosed room.
• Follow applicable local fire, outdoor-burning, and safety regulations.
• Keep children and untrained users away from the stove and hot chimney components.

Portability & Storage

The Nova 6 is designed to be moved between locations.

At approximately 48 lbs in tent-only form, it can be transported considerably more easily than a permanent sauna structure. Its approximately 68" × 12" packed dimensions also make storage more manageable when the tent is not being used.

Before storing, allow all components to cool completely and ensure the tent and accessories are clean and dry.

Warranty

The current North Shore Sauna product information reviewed for the Nova 6 does not clearly state a warranty duration on the primary manufacturer listing.

Because warranty terms can vary by seller, package, and purchase date, the warranty associated with the exact Wellness Edge Frontier SKU should be confirmed before publishing a specific warranty period.
