SaunaLife EE8G 6-Person Barrel Sauna

The SaunaLife EE8G is built around robust 1.65-inch thick Thermo-Spruce staves that offer superior thermal resistance and stability compared to thinner barrel designs. The thermal modification process makes the wood highly resistant to rotting while maintaining a vibrant tone that weathers gracefully outdoors. Inside, you get comfortable 19.8-inch deep Thermo-Aspen benches paired with ergonomic, knot-free backrests designed to accommodate different body sizes. Dual floor drains are cleverly integrated to manage water runoff effectively during intense sauna sessions.

Heating performance relies entirely on the third-party heater you choose to pair with the unit, which will require a dedicated 240V electrical setup installed by a licensed electrician. Because of the generous 87-inch interior diameter and 71-inch length, a sufficiently powerful heater (typically 8kW to 9kW) is necessary to bring the room up to temperature quickly. The kit includes heavy-duty stainless steel bands, an asphalt shingle roof kit for weather-proofing, and an IP67-rated 24V white LED light bar system featuring Wi-Fi app control and a wireless remote.

Assembly is designed as a straightforward DIY project for two people, typically taking around a day with basic tools. The package includes extra staves for insurance, paraffin oil for initial wood treatment, and an 8mm tempered bronze glass front wall that opens up the interior space visually. While the structure is heavily weather-resistant, adding a secure foundation like a concrete pad or leveled deck is essential before putting together the 1,763-pound footprint.
