The SaunaLife Model EE8G Ergo Elegance Series Outdoor Sauna Barrel Kit, Glass Front is an outdoor sauna kit in Thermo-Spruce, sized for up to 6 people, measuring 90.9"W (230.9 cm) x 78.7"D (199.9 cm) x 94.9"H (241 cm) outside. It ships as a kit without a heater — choose one from the recommended list below and add stones and a control to suit.
Ergonomics - Barrel Sauna Comfort Comfort is extremely important when investing in an outdoor sauna barrel. Smaller barrels use fewer materials, so they can be less expensive; however, there is a big tradeoff in comfort, with lower door height, less headroom, and lower-quality benches. Small barrels also have a tighter arc that compromises bather posture, prevents standing upright, and requires one to duck upon entry and exit. The SaunaLife Model EE8G is an impressive 7'7" in diameter and 6'7" in length so you can stand comfortably.
- Thermo-Spruce material that is durable and low-maintenance
- Expansive 7'7" interior diameter
- Engineered for simple DIY installation (1-day, 2-person)
- Industry-leading wall, bench, and backrest material thicknesses
- Superior thermal resistance (R-value)
- Contoured Thermo-Aspen bench for improved bather comfort

The kit is the room. These are not included and you need them before it will heat.
Heater
Electric or wood-burning, sized to the room. See the recommended heaters below.
Sauna Stones
Sold with the heater on some models and separately on others. Check the heater page.
Control
Electric heaters need a control unit unless they have one built in. Wood-burning stoves do not.
Electrical or Chimney
An electric heater needs a dedicated circuit run by a licensed electrician. A wood stove needs a chimney kit and the clearances in its manual.
A Level Base
Concrete, pavers or a rated deck. The kit sits on supplied foundation beams, but they need a flat, load-bearing surface.

SaunaLife ships this on a pallet by LTL freight, curbside. The carrier calls ahead to book a delivery window, and someone has to be there to sign for it.
Freight to the US 48
$950
Curbside Only
The driver brings it to the end of the driveway. Moving it to the pad and unpacking it is on you — plan for help and a flat route.
Check It On Arrival
Note any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign. A clean signature makes a freight claim much harder.
Does the EE8G come with a heater?
No. SaunaLife supplies the room, not the heat source. You choose a heater sized to the interior volume, plus stones and a control if it is electric. The recommended heaters above are the models SaunaLife specifies.
How does it get delivered?
On a pallet by freight, curbside, at $950 to the lower 48. The carrier calls to arrange a window. Getting it from the curb to its final spot is your side of the job.
How long does assembly take?
Most owners get a kit like this together in a day with a second pair of hands. The panels are numbered and pre-cut; no cutting or specialist tools are needed.
