SaunaLife Model E8G Ergo-Series 6-Person Traditional Outdoor Barrel Sauna with Full-Glass Front
The SaunaLife Ergo-Series Model E8G 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 Design for Group Relaxation
Enjoy generous space with the Model E8G’s 6’5” interior height and curved Thermo-Aspen benches that cradle the body with ergonomic precision. Its wide barrel diameter allows four people to sit comfortably, with arched lumbar-support backrests that elevate every sauna session.
Full-glass front wall
The Model E8G features bronzed, full-height, tempered glass sidelight windows that, combined with the matching tempered glass door, create a full glass front wall. The natural light will open up the space to create an incredibly airy and relaxing sauna while providing amazing views of the outdoors.
Built to Last Outdoors
Made from ultra-thick 1.65” Thermo-Spruce staves, the Model E8G resists decay and delivers excellent insulation. Interior benches are crafted from 1.1” thick Thermo-Aspen—cool to the touch and up to 50% thicker than standard options. Designed to last twice as long as cedar.
Smart Drainage & Water-Ready Innovation
Stainless steel bands compress the structure with strength. A full shingle kit and dual floor drains (under heater and by the door) ensure rain and rinse water flow away with ease.
Premium Lighting Options
Dotless, app-controlled white LED lighting (IP67-rated) creates a relaxing glow. Optional E Sconce+ and E MOOD packages offer color-tunable lighting and dramatic exterior ambiance.
Naturally Beautiful, Inside and Out
Finished in golden Nordic Spruce with smooth, knot-free Thermo-Aspen interiors. Includes natural paraffin oil to protect the finish and bring out the wood’s warmth.

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.

How Your Sauna is Packaged
Your sauna kit will arrive securely packed on one or two pallets, depending on the model. We take great care to ensure it's protected during transit.

Setting Up Your Delivery Appointment
To make things easy, delivery is never a surprise. Once your shipment reaches the nearest freight terminal, the carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery time that works best for you. You’ll always know when to expect your sauna—no unannounced drop-offs.
