Model E8W Sauna Barrel

The SaunaLife ERGO-Series outdoor sauna barrels are thoughtfully designed by sauna enthusiasts to offer the most comfortable, durable, and visually appealing sauna experience available.

Ergonomics – Unmatched Comfort in a Barrel Sauna
When choosing an outdoor sauna barrel, comfort is key. The barrel's diameter and the layout of the bench and backrest significantly impact the sauna experience. Smaller barrels may be more affordable, but often at the cost of lower door height, uncomfortable seating, and limited headroom. The ERGO Series, with its generous 6'5" interior height, offers ergonomically contoured seating and spacious, curved backrests that provide optimal lumbar support. The silky-smooth, knot-free Thermo-Aspen seating material is crafted for superior comfort, accommodating users of all sizes.

Panoramic Half-Moon Rear Window
A striking, tempered half-moon rear window allows natural light to flood the sauna, creating a more open and airy atmosphere. This expansive window provides a peaceful view of your outdoor surroundings, enhancing relaxation while enjoying the warmth of the sauna.

Durability – Designed for Long-Lasting Enjoyment
Thermo-Spruce, known to last up to twice as long as Cedar, forms the foundation of every SaunaLife barrel. The 1.65” thick full-length staves ensure excellent thermal insulation and stability, making them ideal for outdoor saunas. The ERGO Series also features extra-thick benches and backrests made from Thermo-Aspen, providing bathers with both comfort and long-lasting durability.

Ingenuity – Built with Advanced Features
Don’t be deceived by its simple appearance—these ERGO-Series barrels are packed with innovation. The design features 1-7/8” wide and 1/8” thick stainless steel barrel bands for secure compression and water management with a DIY shingle kit and side-mounted drip edges. The dual floor drains—one under the heater and one near the door—ensure water is efficiently drained, even if the barrel shifts.

Illumination – Perfectly Lit Inside and Out
The sauna comes equipped with low-voltage, waterproof LED lighting, offering a soft, even glow that highlights the wood's beauty. The Wi-Fi app-controlled white LED system allows you to set the lighting mood before stepping inside, with an additional remote control for dimming or switching on and off. Optional lighting packages like the E Sconce+ and E MOOD add exterior sconces and a range of color effects for a more customized ambiance.

Beauty – A Stunning Addition to Any Backyard
Crafted from premium Nordic Spruce, dried to a rich golden hue, these saunas showcase the natural grain and tight-knot charm of the wood. Inside, the smooth Thermo-Aspen benches and backrests offer a luxurious touch. A bottle of paraffin oil is included to maintain the wood’s luster and protect its beauty over time.

The MODEL E8W sauna is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, created in Northern Europe, where sauna culture thrives. Bring a lifetime of wellness and relaxation into your own outdoor space and experience the SaunaLife!
