SaunaLife Model E8 Sauna Barrel | ERGO Series

The SaunaLife ERGO-Series sauna barrels were meticulously crafted and engineered by sauna experts to provide the utmost comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal in the outdoor sauna market.

Ergonomics – Barrel Sauna Comfort

The importance of bathing comfort should not be underestimated when purchasing an outdoor sauna barrel. One must consider the barrel's diameter and the configuration of the bench and backrest. While barrels with a smaller diameter may have a lower price due to using fewer materials, it can result in tradeoffs such as lower door height, less comfortable bench, and limited headroom. This smaller diameter also creates seating posture challenges and may require ducking when entering and exiting. The ERGO Series Sauna Barrels, on the other hand, boast a generous 6'5" interior height for optimal comfort.

The SaunaLife Model E8 Sauna Barrel from the ERGO Series offers ergonomically contoured benches with a generous barrel arc, perfect for supporting a comfortably arched backrest and providing true lumbar support. The knot-free, silky-smooth grade-A Thermo-Aspen seating material is selected for its touch and feel, ensuring comfort for all body sizes.

Durability – A lifetime of outdoor bathing pleasure

Thermo-Spruce has a longer lifespan than Cedarwood, lasting up to 2 times longer. SaunaLife begins each barrel with staves that are 1.65 inches thick, the industry standard, providing excellent R-value for exceptional thermal resistance.

This environmentally friendly wood is stable and perfect for outdoor saunas, making it ideal for use in the SaunaLife ERGO Series. Its thickness, measuring 1.1 inches and 3-1/2 inches wide, allows for ergonomically crafted benches and backrests, which are significantly thicker (50%) than most models.

Ingenuity - Engineered to exceed expectations

The ERGO-Series Sauna Barrel may have a simple design and installation process, but it is full of innovative features. The sturdy 1-7/8” wide and 1/8” thick stainless steel barrel bands compress the massive staves to create a watertight space. This sauna also includes a DIY shingle kit with side-mounted drip edges for effective rainwater management, making it the perfect outdoor retreat for relaxation and wellness.

Two floor drains are located inside the barrel - one is positioned under the sauna heater for easy water disposal, while the other is near the door for collecting cold plunge or pool water. In case the barrel becomes unlevel, these dual drains will ensure proper drainage.

Illumination – Inside and out

Highlight the natural beauty of your barrel and elevate your sauna session with SaunaLife's advanced, low-voltage waterproof LED lighting system. With Wi-Fi app capabilities, you can easily customize the lighting before stepping into the sauna for an enhanced experience.

The sauna includes a handheld remote control for easy on/off/dim function. SaunaLife's white LED light is certified for heat and water resistance (IP67) and has a dotless design that creates a beautiful, even glow. You can add up to four white fixtures and also check out the E Sconce+ Package, which features two stunning outdoor LED wall sconces and a secondary interior LED lightbar for the perfect outdoor sauna atmosphere. For a captivating backyard sauna experience, you may want to consider the E MOOD Lighting Package, which offers a limitless range of colors for both inspiration and relaxation.

Beauty – A compliment to most any outdoor oasis

The SaunaLife Model E8 Sauna Barrel | ERGO Series is crafted with premium Nordic Spruce, carefully dried to a beautiful hue that highlights its unique wood grain and charming rustic knots. Its interior boasts ergonomically designed Thermo-Aspen benches and backrests, made from top-grade wood with a rich color and knot-free appearance. Plus, receive a complimentary bottle of natural paraffin oil to maintain and enhance the luster of the barrel's interior.

Designed by SaunaLife and crafted in Northern Europe, the MODEL E8 home sauna combines precision and wellness for everyday use. Bring the healthy benefits of sauna bathing to your backyard and Live the SaunaLife with this lifetime investment.

If you need to exchange your product, you may do so. You, as the customer, are responsible for any shipping costs throughout any returns or exchange processes.

Shipping Times

We promise to do our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. We provide estimated shipping times on the product pages based upon what our suppliers and freight companies tell us, and those estimated shipping times may change or vary without notice (Due to supply chain issues, the steel mills behind on making metal, the manufacturers delayed because of the mills, the overwhelming demand on shipping, factory/warehouse and dock workers and so on).
