Kyst

How it works

We bring the sauna. You bring the people.

Booking Kyst takes a few minutes. Here’s what happens from the moment you pick a date to the moment the heat arrives, anywhere across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

The details

Good to know before you book.

Delivery & collection
We deliver the sauna before your rental begins and pick it up after it ends. We’ll confirm the exact times with you when we call.
Your location
  • Space: 22.5 ft long × 8.5 ft wide (6.9 × 2.6 m) with the ramp down.
  • Access: at least 9 ft (2.7 m) wide.
  • Our truck and trailer must be able to drive in and back out of the property for drop-off and pick-up.
  • Ground: grass, gravel and soil are all fine. No steep slopes.
Holding your date
When you book, your date is held and the total is held on your card. Your card will be charged once Kyst confirms your booking within 24 hours. If we can’t confirm it, the hold is released and nothing is charged.
Being there
Someone needs to be at the location when we deliver the sauna.
Safety

Questions

On the day.

Do I need to be home for delivery and collection?

Yes. Someone needs to be at the location when we deliver the sauna.

What do I need at my location?

Space: 22.5 ft long × 8.5 ft wide (6.9 × 2.6 m) with the ramp down.

Access: at least 9 ft (2.7 m) wide.

Our truck and trailer must be able to drive in and back out of the property for drop-off and pick-up.

Ground: grass, gravel and soil are all fine. No steep slopes.

You don’t need power or water: the lights run on a rechargeable battery, and we bring sauna and shower water. A 100 ft extension cord is available on request.

How do I use the sauna, and is it safe?

We deliver the sauna with the pilot light already lit. To heat it up, close the side vent above the side door, close the sauna door, then turn up the Temperature dial and turn on the Time dial.

It takes about 60 minutes to fully heat up. Once it feels right, turn the Temperature dial down until it clicks, and the heater holds that heat. The timer runs for up to an hour, so give it another twist when it gets low.

Your Kyst sauna guide covers every step, including how to relight the pilot if it goes out. A fire extinguisher and first aid kit are at the sauna entrance.

Smell gas? Get everyone out of the sauna, turn the propane off at the tank (clockwise) and give us a call.

What should we bring?

A towel to sit on and one to dry off, swimwear (cotton is best) or nothing at all, a change of clothes, slippers or sandals, and a cold water bottle. Drink some water before you start, too.

Take off jewellery before you go in: necklaces, rings and watches get very hot and can burn.

Are there any house rules?

A few simple ones, so everyone has a good time and the sauna stays happy:

Up to 7 people in the sauna at a time.

No alcohol, glass or food. Water only inside.

Don’t use the sauna while intoxicated.

Clean feet, and rinse before you go in. No shoes inside.

Only clean, fresh water on the stones (a few drops of essential oil are fine).

No pets, inside or on the deck.

Keep the door clear.

The ramp and deck hold up to 600 lb (270 kg).

What happens in bad weather?

Bookings go ahead rain or shine. If conditions make delivery or using the sauna unsafe, we’ll be in touch with you about your options.
