Model EE8G Sauna Barrel

The SaunaLife ERGO-Series Elegance 8 outdoor sauna barrel was designed and engineered by sauna enthusiasts to be the most spacious, comfortable, durable, and attractive backyard sauna available.

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 measures an impressive 7’7” in exterior diameter and 6’7” in exterior length, and its 7’3” interior diameter lets you stand comfortably. Due to the large diameter, its benches can be ergonomically contoured and formfitting. The generous barrel arc can support a generous arched backrest for true lumbar support and a natural seating position. Silky-smooth seating is made from beautiful Thermo-Aspen that is 50% thicker than in lesser saunas. This knot-free wood feels comfortable against your skin and has ideal thermal properties for a sauna so it will never be too hot against your skin.

An 8mm tempered glass front wall drenches the sauna with natural light and further accentuates the incredible spaciousness of the interior. The barrel exterior is made from full-length spruce staves that are thermally enhanced for greater strength, dimensional stability, and weather resistance. Secure and level footing is assured with the addition of a fitted floor.

Durability – A lifetime of outdoor bathing pleasure

“Thermo-Spruce” means that the wood was naturally treated with pressurized heat and steam so it can last up to 2 times longer than Cedar wood! Every SaunaLife barrel begins with industry-leading 1.65” thick full-length Thermo-Spruce staves for better durability and exceptional thermal resistance (R-value). This chemical-free, eco-friendly wood is dimensionally stable and ideal for outdoor saunas.

Ingenuity - Engineered to exceed expectations

Superior engineering results in a sauna barrel that is both easily assembled and jam-packed with innovative features. Go ahead, splash the water, the EE8G is built to thrive with water. Industry-leading 1-7/8” wide and 1/8” thick stainless-steel barrel bands compress and secure the massive staves. A watertight shingle kit (a must-have for an outdoor barrel sauna) with drip rails provides exceptional rainwater management and keeps bathers dry in any weather conditions. The EE8G includes dual floor drains – one is conveniently placed under the sauna heater for your water-tossing pleasure and a second drain is positioned near the door, where cold plunge or pool water may collect.

Illumination – Inside and out

Illuminating your barrel highlights the beauty of the wood and further enhances your sauna experience. SaunaLife provides an elegant dotless white LED lighting system that is Wi-Fi app-based that allows infinite adjustment. A hand-held remote control is also provided for on/off/dim operation. SaunaLife’s white LED fixture is heat and water-certified (IP67) and is dotless for an even, uninterrupted glow. To add an additional sensory layer to your sauna experience, consider adding E MOOD Chromotherapy Lighting Package for an infinite range of colors.

Beauty – A compliment to almost any outdoor oasis

The MODEL EE8G home sauna is designed by SaunaLife and precision-crafted in Northern Europe where sauna bathing is a healthy part of everyday life.

Enjoy a lifetime of wellness in your own backyard and Live the SaunaLife!

SaunaLife ERGO EE8G Outdoor Barrel Sauna Kit | 6 Person Sauna

How many bathers does the EE8G hold?

The EE8G is built for groups of up to six. With 71" of interior length, it gives you 16" more room than the 4-person EE6G, so a full group can sit back without feeling crowded.

What are the EE8G's interior and exterior measurements?

Inside, the barrel is 71" long with an 87" diameter, and the bench is 19.8" deep. Outside, it measures 79" long with a 91" diameter, which is the footprint to plan your foundation around.

Is the EE8G tall enough to stand up in?

Yes. SaunaLife lists a 6'-7" interior height for the EE8G, so you can stand and move around comfortably instead of ducking the way you would in a smaller barrel.

What is the EE8G made of?

The shell uses full-length Thermo-Spruce staves 1.65" thick, held tight by stainless steel bands that are 1-7/8" wide and 1/8" thick. The contoured benches and arched backrest are knot-free Thermo-Aspen with 1.1" thick tops. Every EE8G is designed by SaunaLife and handcrafted in Northern Europe.

What should I know about the EE8G's glass front?

The front of the barrel is an 8mm tempered glass wall with a tempered bronze glass door. It floods the interior with daylight and makes an already roomy sauna feel even more open.

Is lighting included with the EE8G?

It is. The SaunaLife White LED Light System with Wi-Fi App comes with two dotless LED lights, a wireless handheld remote, and a 90W power supply. The lights are IP67 rated for heat and water and run on 24V DC. For colored light, you can add the E MOOD Chromotherapy Lighting Package.

How does the EE8G handle rain and outdoor weather?

A watertight black shingle roof kit with drip rails sheds rainwater and keeps bathers dry. The thermally treated Thermo-Spruce staves add natural resistance to rot and pests for long-term outdoor use.

Why does the EE8G have two floor drains?

Each drain has a job. One is placed under the sauna heater so you can splash water on the stones as often as you like, and the other sits by the door to clear water carried in from a cold plunge or pool.

Can I install the EE8G myself?

Yes. SaunaLife engineered the EE8G for DIY assembly by two people in a single day. Two spare Thermo-Spruce staves come in the box, and the installation manual is linked in the Manual section above.

What comes in the EE8G kit?

The kit contains Thermo-Spruce staves, Thermo-Aspen benches and backrest, a tempered bronze glass door and front glass, stainless steel barrel bands, a black roof shingle kit, black-painted cradles, fascia boards, and front frame plywood, a floor kit, air intake and exhaust vents, a fastener kit, paraffin oil, and the LED light system. The sauna heater is sold separately.

What maintenance does the EE8G need?

Very little. Thermo-Spruce is naturally low maintenance, and the 16.9 oz bottle of paraffin oil in the kit helps keep the barrel looking rich. The SaunaLife Care Guide in the Manual section above explains the routine.

Is there a black version of the EE8G?

Yes. The EE8GB is the paint-included version of this barrel. It comes with two containers of PROSAUNAS SaunaShield Black Sauna Paint for a modern black exterior.
