Is it like a sauna inside on the typical hot August summer day?

Not at all. The roof 7 to 8 feet high and if there is any heat it's up there and heat rises so it will exit thru the smaller vent roof. Also it's open on all 4 sides so there is no heat build up anywhere. I love my gazebo.

No, it was actually much better than our cloth top. We live in Southern California.

No. Although we get a good breeze through our gazebo, I think the shade provides 5-10* of cooling.

Actually it's not. The opening in the top allows air to flow throught nicely. Also if you wanted you could hang a ceiling fan. I have answered many questions about this gazebo. The most important advice that I gave is do not use a power screwdriver to insert the screws. They cross thread very easy. I am very handy and it took me 9 hours to build it myself. No easy task but we love it.

Not at all. We even added curtains on two sides, to block the sun at certain times of the day, and it is lovely to be out there at any time. Love it.

I would hate to give wrong advice, it may be ok with the hot tub, the windows can be opened. It does get pretty toasty in there though.

yes. it keeps out summer heat and retains indoor heat in the colder weather. just as advertised great investment

Yes, they sweat a lot. Depending on what you place it in, it stays cold in a cooler from 4-6 hrs on a hot summer day.

In mid west, some humid weather in summer but not year round; chair did fine last August.

Not really. We live up north and over the summer my daughter would get very hot and sweaty. It's great from the sun but keeps it warm under it

I haven't had an issue yet, but it is just now starting to get hot. This will be my first summer with it. It has been awesome so far though.

Place a towel on the chair you use inside the sauna. That's it. There is no need to clean anything. You could also put a towel under the chair if you wanted. After use, the inside of sauna is clean and dry, there is no moisture. Unless you are a very large person your body doesn't touch the inside of the sauna.

Yes it is very hot - even the low setting. You would get burnt if you put you hands or other body part right within the steam path.

Yes the air gets nice and warm (not hot tho). Without the warm air I was freezing! So yes the heat is nice. :)

Must be under cover, protected from the weather. Outside temp must be at least 70 degrees for sauna to heat up well.

No, this Sauna is dry heat, You just plug it in to house electricity. It doesn't use water since it is a dry heat. Works great.

I would say it's only good for summer if you have an air conditioner. If your room is not air conditioned then you will most likely sweat while sleeping.

It gets plenty hot if you want. But temperature is important if you are using a wet sauna. This is not that type of sauna. It is not the the temp but the penetration of the generated wavelength into the body to create the desired effect that is important. Far infrared does an excellent job of penetrating 2 -3 inches easily. That is what you want with this sort of unit.

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

you should be able to press your hand against them and they will just be very warm, not hot. As Amy R. said....they are not expected to be really hot...that would be a regular sauna.
