Masterful Craftsmanship

Knot-free, silky-smooth grade-A Thermo-Aspen seating stays cool to the touch, and the barrel's generous arc allows benches to be ergonomically contoured with an expansive arched backrest for true lumbar support. A 6'5" interior height means you stand upright and step in without ducking.

Premium Thermo-Spruce Exterior, Built to Last

Thermo-Spruce lasts up to twice as long as cedar. Every ERGO barrel begins with 1.65" full-length staves of chemical-free, thermally enhanced Nordic Spruce, dried to a rich golden color that accentuates the grain and rustic tight-knot charm. Heavy-duty stainless steel bands compress the staves, and a watertight black shingle kit with side-mounted drip edges handles the weather year after year.

Features

Built to Last, Designed to Relax

Handcrafted in Northern Europe

Designed by SaunaLife and precision-crafted in Northern Europe from industry-leading 1.65" thick full-length Thermo-Spruce staves, compressed by heavy-duty stainless steel barrel bands 1-7/8" wide and 1/8" thick.

Ergonomic Interior for Up to 6 Bathers

A large-diameter barrel gives a 6'5" interior height, so you stand upright and enter without ducking. Contoured Thermo-Aspen benches and an arched backrest give real lumbar support.

Built to Thrive With Water

A watertight black shingle kit with side-mounted drip edges manages rainwater, dual floor drains sit under the heater and by the door, and intake and exhaust vents keep fresh air moving through the barrel.

Choose Your Front: Standard, Window or Glass

The E8 has a solid Thermo-Spruce shell with a tempered bronze glass door. The E8W adds a half-moon tempered rear window. The E8G adds bronzed full-height tempered sidelights that, with the matching door, form a full glass front wall. All three ship with the IP67-rated, dotless Wi-Fi white LED light bar.

Compact glass barrel sauna

EE6G fits perfectly in our smaller yard, doesnt feel cramped at all. Glass front opens it up way more then you'd expect for a compact barrel. Fits 4 comfortably. Thermo-Spruce looks great and the build feels solid. Really good option if you dont have a ton of space.

Compact barrel with window

E6W fits our small backyard perfectly, doesnt take up much space at all. Window lets in enough light without overdoing it. Fits 4 comfortably which is all we needed. Thermo-Spruce feels solid, good quality for the price. Happy with it.

Perfect 5-person glass barrel

E7G looks incredible in our yard, the curved barrel shape just fits naturally in the space. Full glass front is the highlight for us, being able to look out during a session is something you dont realize you want until you have it. Fits our family of 5 no problem. Thermo-Aspen seating is comfortable, no issues with longer sessions. Really solid build quality overall.

Great barrel needs level base

E8 is a really well built sauna, Thermo-Spruce looks great and fits 6 comfortably. One thing I'd flag for anyone buying is dont underestimate the site prep. Getting a perfectly level foundation took more time and materials then we planned for. Once that was sorted assembly went smooth. Heats evenly, no complaints there. Would definitely buy again, just do your site prep homework first.

Beautiful glass front barrel

EE8G is a great looking sauna, the full glass front lets in so much natural light which makes it feel completely different then a traditional barrel. Fits 6 no problem. Thermo-Spruce staves are thick, you can feel the difference in how well it holds heat. Backrests are a nice touch, actually comfortable for longer sessions. Really happy with this one.

Premium 6-person barrel

E8G is a really good looking sauna, the glass front makes a huge difference, natural light completely changes the interior feel. 6'5 ceiling height was a surprise, way more headroom then expected. Thermo-Aspen benches are really smooth, comfortable for long sessions. Stainless steel bands look sharp and feel built to last. Very happy with this purchase.

Beautiful window barrel sauna

E7W is a really nice looking sauna, the bronzed window gives it a classic feel and lets in just enough natural light. Fits 5 comfortably with good airflow throughout. Thermo-Spruce feels premium, no concerns about durability. Simple, well built outdoor sauna, really happy with it.

Classic barrel with window

E8W looks great in our backyard, the bronze window and natural wood just fit the outdoor setting perfectly. Decent amount of natural light comes through without the full glass front look which is what we wanted. Fits 6 easily, room to spare. Thermo-Spruce feels more durable then cedar, holding up really well so far. Solid build overall, very happy with it.

Solid 6-person barrel

E7 blends really nicely with our property, natural wood just looks right outdoors. Fits 6 no problem and the thick staves make a noticeable difference in how well it holds heat. Nothing flashy, just a solid well built barrel sauna. Happy with it
