Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lemolo Saunas?
Lemolo Saunas offers an authentic Finnish-style wood-fired sauna experience brought directly to your location, powered off-grid. In the traditional sauna cycle, individuals enter the wood-fired sauna, gradually increasing the temperature to induce a deep, soothing warmth. To complement this, we encourage the age-old practice of pouring water onto the rocks, creating steam and enhancing the overall sauna experience. After reaching the desired warmth, individuals can then step outside to enjoy a refreshing cold plunge or outdoor shower, completing the invigorating and time-honored sauna cycle.
Can I pick up the sauna instead of having it delivered?
No, all deliveries are handled by our professional team. To guarantee the safety and integrity of the sauna, we do not offer a self-pickup option. Our delivery team is experienced in handling the sauna to ensure it arrives at your location in perfect condition.
How does the mobile sauna work?
Lemolo Saunas provides a fully functional, wood-fired sauna experience that is transported to your desired location. Our mobile sauna includes a changing room, cold plunge, and outdoor shower, all powered off-grid. The outdoor shower features a 35-gallon water tank for a refreshing experience. The sauna is equipped with both indoor and outdoor dimmable lights. It is towed to your location, dropped off, and you will be shown how to light and use the sauna. To use the cold plunge, you need to have a hose at your location or simply use the outdoor shower. Please note that the sauna requires a flat location for parking, ensuring a stable and safe setup.
What are the benefits of using a wood-fired sauna?
Beyond the traditional and health benefits, Lemolo Saunas brings people together in a unique way, especially during dreary rainy weather. Our wood-fired sauna offers a cozy and inviting escape from the cold and wet surroundings, providing a warm haven for friends and community to gather.
What size groups can the sauna accommodate?
Our sauna is spacious and can fit up to 12 people if you're a close-knit group of friends. However, for public sessions, we recommend limiting the group to 6 guests. This ensures that everyone has ample space to relax, stretch out, and fully enjoy the sauna experience.

This duration allows for a comprehensive and rejuvenating sauna experience.
