The SaunaLife Ergo-Series Model E8 Traditional Outdoor Barrel Sauna is designed and precision-crafted in Northern Europe, where sauna bathing is a daily ritual. Enjoy a lifetime of wellness in your own backyard and Live the Sauna Life!

Ergonomic Comfort
Designed for true relaxation, the Model E8 features a spacious 6’5” interior height with curved benches and arched backrests for full lumbar support. The premium Thermo-Aspen seating is smooth, knot-free, and cool to the touch—perfect for long, comfortable sessions.

Built to Last
Crafted from 1.65”-thick Thermo-Spruce staves, this barrel sauna is naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects. The wood is eco-friendly, durable, and more stable than cedar. Thick, form-fitted benches and backrests ensure strength and comfort for years to come.

Smart Engineering
From dual floor drains to oversized stainless-steel bands and a waterproof DIY shingle kit, every detail is made for real-world outdoor use. It’s easy to install and built to handle rain, snow, and daily use.

Soothing Illumination
Set the mood with dotless, dimmable white LED lighting, controlled by app or remote. Expand with the E Sconce+ or E Mood Lighting Packages to elevate your sauna with warm outdoor sconces or customizable color light therapy.

Beautiful Compliment to Any Outdoor Oasis
The golden Thermo-Spruce exterior pairs beautifully with the rich tones of the Thermo-Aspen interior. Every detail—from the grain of the wood to the ergonomic form—is crafted for elegance and comfort. Includes a bottle of natural paraffin oil to maintain its interior finish.

Delivery

Due to the size and weight of this handcrafted sauna, delivery is scheduled by appointment and arrives securely packaged on a wooden pallet. Freight carriers provide curbside delivery only, lowering the shipment to ground level but not bringing it indoors. Before your order ships, we’ll contact you to confirm delivery details and identify any special site conditions that may affect delivery or incur additional fees. Our goal is to ensure everything arrives smoothly so you can enjoy your sauna without hassle.

Shipment Options

1. Standard Freight (LTL - Less Than Truckload)
Commonly used for compact and mid-sized saunas, allowing for secure shipping without needing a full truck.

2. Flatbed Truck Delivery
For larger sauna cabins that require more space and weight capacity. Flatbed trucks are used for these oversized deliveries.
