SaunaLife barrel saunas were made to solve all the problems that barrel sauna goers have been experiencing in the past. These common inconveniences in traditional barrel saunas include flooding, inconvenient seat structure, and very low ceiling, to mention a few. SaunaLife barrel saunas solve all of these long-term barrel sauna issues.
This sauna will be delivered to your curbside as a DIY kit. Here’re some important things to account for when considering the placement of this barrel sauna:
You want to have a leveled surface under the barrel sauna. You can place the sauna on concrete blocks or strips that have compressed gravel underneath. You can use geotextile under the sauna to prevent the growth of any grass. Sauna can also be placed on your terrace or balcony. Just make sure you have a leveled surface under the sauna that can handle the weight.
You need an electrical line for your sauna heater to the placement of the sauna. Most sauna heaters require 240V.
You will need a 120V electrical line for the lights of this sauna.
Constructing the sauna yourself is simple if you’re a handyman. You can get a good idea of the installation from the installation manual.
All sauna heaters require the electrical work to be performed by a certified electrician.
You will see all optional accessories on the carousel further down this page.
Something we recommend for everyone, would be the barrel sauna floor. This levels the floor of the sauna, and significantly enhances your sauna experience.
For additional lighting, you can get the EMood Ergo, which is made out of the same wood as the barrel sauna itself.
For treating the outside wood of your sauna, you can apply SaunaLife Sauna Wax. You will also be able to modify the color of your sauna with the sauna wax, when choosing other than standard clear color for it.
You can treat your sauna benches with SaunaLife Sauna Paraffin Oil, and protect them from moisture, dirt, and humidity by applying the oil.
Keep your sauna clean with SaunaLife Sauna Cleaner, specifically designed to be used with SaunaLife saunas wood materials.
When it comes to throwing water onto your sauna heater, to create steam (löyly), you can get either SaunaLife Accessory Package 5 (includes Bucket, Ladle, Hygrometer and Thermometer, Black) or SaunaLife Accessory Package 6 (includes Sauna Bucket Set with Wood Ladle and Thermometer either black or white).
Mentioning one more extra accessory, you can look into SaunaLife SaunaZone bluetooth speaker and sauna bucket with lights.

SaunaLife saunas come with asphalt shingles kit that has side-mounted drip edges. This ensures that rainwater won't enter the barrel. Barrels without shingles are known to have water on the floor after heavier rains.
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:
81"
Exterior Width
87"
Exterior Depth
81"
Exterior Height

You need to make sure that you have a leveled and sturdy base for your sauna. You have to also consider where the water goes through the drain depending on the location of the sauna.
