SaunaLife GL6: a six person outdoor sauna kit with a porch all the way around
The SaunaLife GL6 is a six person outdoor sauna kit and the biggest cabin in the Garden Luxury line. It is built from thermo-spruce, which is spruce baked in a kiln so it shrugs off moisture and lasts longer than plain lumber. The square cabin has a modern look, with black trim, a porch on all four sides, and a front wall of bronze tinted glass. It takes up about 90 by 90 inches of yard. Inside, two rows of benches run the full width, and you can dim the lights from your phone or a remote.
The kit comes with everything for the building, including the walls, roof, floor, porch, glass door and windows, benches, and LED lights. Two people can build it in about two days. The heater is not included, so pick one of the 7 electric heater packages on the page, from 9 to 10.5 kW; each comes with its control and stones. A bucket and ladle, the SaunaZone, and wood care oils are optional on the page. Want the same style for four? See the SaunaLife GL4 sauna kit. The SaunaLife GL6 ships from My Cozy Outdoors by flat rate freight with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How big is this sauna inside and out?
The cabin is 90.2 inches square outside, standing 92.5 inches tall with its wrap-around eaves, while the sauna room inside measures 69.7 by 69.7 inches with 79.1 inches of height. Two-tier benches run the full 69.7-inch width, seating up to six bathers in the Garden Luxury line’s largest layout.
What does the wrap-around porch add?
The integrated eaves and porch wrap the cabin on a 14.6-inch-deep apron, creating a sheltered, set-back entry with recessed LED lights beneath the eaves to guide you in after dark. It gives the sauna the presence of a small architectural pavilion rather than a box dropped into the yard.
Can this sauna do steam as well as dry heat?
Yes, its heater selector uniquely includes two Harvia Virta Combi 9kW steam-capable options alongside the Saunum Air L 10, Harvia Spirit SP90E, Harvia Cilindro 9kW, HUUM DROP 9kW, and HIVE Mini 10.5kW packages. Prices are shown per option on the selector, or compare every model in our electric sauna heater collection.
How well is it insulated?
The walls are 1.57-inch-thick thermally treated Nordic spruce, and the roof build includes EPS insulation under thermo-spruce boards, unusual at this price point, plus self-adhesive roofing felt and black metal flashing for water management. Together they contain heat well enough for efficient year-round bathing.
Is the glass front practical or just for looks?
Both. The full front is tempered bronze glass windows 0.24 inch thick, with a 0.31-inch-thick glass side door carrying a full-height pull. Tempered panes are safety-rated and contain temperature as part of the sealed envelope, while the bronze tint moderates glare and adds daytime privacy without blocking the outward view.
How long does the build take?
Two people with moderate DIY experience can achieve professional results in two days. Interlocking-beam construction keeps the fit exact while allowing natural wood movement, and everything, wall boards, benches, glass, roof boards, insulation, flashing, ventilation and drainage systems, and all fasteners, is in the delivered kit with full instructions.
What comes standard for lighting?
Recessed exterior LEDs are integrated in the eaves, and indirect interior LED lighting washes the wood in a diffuse glow. Both are controlled by the Wi-Fi app or the wireless handheld remote included in the kit, so you can tune the ambiance from the bench or from your phone before you walk out.
