SaunaLife ERGO E8 Barrel 6-Person Outdoor Sauna Kit

Discover the time-tested tradition of authentic sauna with the SaunaLife E8 Barrel Kit. Made for ease and convenience, this kit comes with all the necessary materials to construct the sauna cabin.

Thick ThermoSpruce staves interlock to create the walls of the barrel. This material provides exceptional heat management, making it the ideal choice to contain the heat and steam. It’s also resilient to harsh weather for sturdy, reliable durability season after season.

The E8’s wide arc gives room for a spacious interior, accommodating tall bathers with a 6’5” ceiling height. The double I-bench layout holds up to six bathers at a time and encourages group sessions with family and friends. These benches are contoured for comfort and made from silky-smooth ThermoAspen that’s soft on the skin. Each bench is paired with a backrest for true lumbar support.

The sauna’s tempered glass door is finished in a deep bronze tint, creating a cohesive exterior style with the black shingle roof and dark hue of the wood. A set of side-mounted drip rails direct rain and melting snow away from the door to keep the entry welcoming no matter the weather.

Built-in ventilation keeps a steady stream of fresh air flowing, using a gravity-based system that works with the curvature of the sauna interior. A pair of dual floor drains manage dripping water from water-pouring and mid-session cold plunges. Together, these vents and drains help your sauna dry once you’re done in the heat and steam.

A set of LED lights puts the finishing touch on the cabin interior, helping build a soothing ambience with a custom glow.

Note: This kit does NOT include a Sauna Heater Package. You can find these items in the Suitable Sauna Heaters menu above.
Features & Materials

The SaunaLife Ergo Series is built on premium materials, comfortable design, and iconic style. Together, these elements create a restorative sauna that encourages deep relaxation.

  • ThermoSpruce Walls - Chosen for its durability and depth of color, ThermoSpruce stands strong against seasonal weather while keeping your sauna’s heat and steam secure.
  • ThermoAspen Benches - A pair of ThermoAspen I-benches hold six bathers at a time. Both benches are contoured for comfort and paired with a matching backrest.
  • Bronze-Tinted Tempered Glass Door - An 8mm tempered glass door lets you see outside your cabin for calming nature-watching. This door is finished in a bronze tint that softens sunlight to build a soothing ambiance.
  • Black Shingle Roof - A full shingle roof guides rain and melting snow away from the sauna entrance to help keep the sauna warm and dry. This roof is equipped with built-in drip rails.
  • Integrated Ventilation - The built-in sauna vents provide a steady stream of fresh air, encouraging long sessions in the heat and steam.
  • Dotless LED Lighting - A set of dotless LED light strips put the finishing touch on the sauna interior with a soothing, indirect glow. These lights are controlled through an app on your smart device or the included wireless remote.
Assembly & Installation

The SaunaLife E8 Cube Sauna requires assembly and finishing. In addition to this kit, you will need:

  • A stable, level foundation - The sauna must sit on a level, stable foundation.
  • Heater Package - Pick up a complete heater kit to finish your build. This sauna can support electric heaters (not included).
  • Certified Electrician - You will need a certified electrician to help with the wiring for the sauna heater, controller, lighting, and any other wired accessories.

SaunaLife E8 Construction

SaunaLife barrel saunas are made out of thermo-spruce. Spruce is the most common sauna wood in Finland. Spruce can last 2x as long as cedar when exposed to harsh outdoor environments combined with changing sauna temperatures.

As for the interior, it features ergonomic benches and backrests. The seating and backrest have been slightly curved to support better posture and make the barrel more comfortable to sit in. The seating is made out of Aspen, which is known as the best wood for sauna seats. Aspen has low thermal conductivity (doesn't get too hot to sit in) and silk smooth appearance (comfortable).

SaunaLife barrel saunas have larger diameters compared to traditional barrels. Your standard barrel has a 72” diameter, but this SaunaLife barrel sauna has a 81” diameter. Larger diameter achieves a few things:

  • Gentler arc, which makes seating more comfortable.
  • Higher ceiling, you don't need to bend down as much when entering the barrel.
  • Better airflow inside the sauna.
