SaunaLife E7: a four person barrel sauna kit, six feet long and tall enough to stand in
The SaunaLife E7 is a four person outdoor barrel sauna kit. It is built from thermo-spruce, which is spruce baked in a kiln so it shrugs off moisture and lasts up to twice as long as cedar. Steel bands hold the barrel tight. A black shingle roof keeps the rain off, and a bronze tinted glass door lets daylight in. The barrel is about 71 inches long and 81 inches across, with enough room to stand up inside. A curved bench with a backrest runs along each side.
The kit includes the staves, the benches, the glass door, the steel bands, the shingle roof kit, the cradles it sits on, and the LED lights. The white LED light bar dims from your phone or a remote. Two people can build it in about a day. On the page you can add a rear window or a full glass front. The heater is not included, so pick one of the 4 electric heater packages on the page, from 6 to 7.5 kW, or fit a wood burning stove of your own. A bucket and ladle, the SaunaZone, color lights, and wood care oils are optional on the page. Want the rear window built in? See the SaunaLife E7W barrel sauna. The SaunaLife E7 ships from My Cozy Outdoors by flat rate freight with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How many people fit in this barrel sauna?
Up to four bathers. The interior runs 63 inches long by 77 inches in diameter, giving roughly six feet five inches of central headroom, with curved Thermo-Aspen benches and a premium arched backrest that supports the lower back for all body sizes. The knot-free seating surfaces stay silky-smooth at bathing temperatures.
Does it take an electric heater or a wood stove?
Either. The page states you can choose between an electric heater and a wood-burning stove as your heat source, and a heater guard is included to shield bathers. For electric, the on-page selector offers Harvia KIP 6kW packages, the Harvia Wall 6kW kit, and a HUUM DROP 7.5kW kit with the UKU controller, with each package’s price shown there.
Can I customize the back wall?
Yes, the Choose Your Style selector on this page offers three configurations: the standard solid back, a rear window, or a glass treatment. Pick the one that suits your view and privacy when ordering, and any price difference for the style you select is displayed right on the selector before you add it to the cart.
Is the interior tall enough for taller bathers?
The barrel gives about six feet five inches of height at the center line, which is where you stand when entering and moving between benches. Seated on either bench, headroom is not a concern at all, and the arched profile actually places the ceiling farther from your head than a flat-roof room of similar size.
How long does the build take?
One day with two people is the engineered target. The kit arrives with full-length 1.65-inch Thermo-Spruce staves, stainless steel barrel bands, the tempered bronze glass door, spruce cradles and fascia boards, a fastener kit, two spare staves, a bottle of paraffin oil, and step-by-step instructions, so everything for a standard assembly is in the crates.
How does it manage water and moisture?
Two floor drains carry away water from inside the room, while intake and exhaust air vents keep air moving and dry the interior between sessions. Outside, the black shingle roof kit and drip edge shed rain before it reaches the staves, and the stainless bands keep the barrel tight through seasonal wood movement.
How long will the wood last?
The Thermo-Spruce exterior and Thermo-Aspen interior are rated to last up to twice as long as traditional cedar, with superior thermal resistance and a chemical-free finish. A bottle of paraffin oil is included for upkeep. It is part of our traditional sauna collection built for year-round outdoor use.
