SaunaLife E7W: a four person barrel sauna kit with a half moon window in the back
The SaunaLife E7W is a four person outdoor barrel sauna kit with a large half moon window in the back wall, so you get daylight and a view from the bench. 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, and a black shingle roof keeps the rain off. The door is bronze tinted glass. The barrel is about 71 inches long and 81 inches across, with room to stand up inside. A curved bench with a backrest runs along each side. A white LED light bar dims from your phone or a remote.
The kit includes the staves, the benches, the rear window, the glass door, the steel bands, the shingle roof kit, the cradles it sits on, and the LED lights. Two people can build it in about a day. 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. Prefer a glass front instead? See the SaunaLife E7G barrel sauna. The SaunaLife E7W ships from My Cozy Outdoors by flat rate freight with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does the rear window add to this barrel?
The panoramic half-moon window across the back wall bathes the interior in natural light and frames whatever sits behind the sauna, trees, water, or open sky, so the room feels connected to the outdoors. Paired with the included LED light bar, the space stays bright and inviting from morning sessions through evening ones.
Can I heat it with wood instead of electric?
Yes, the page states you can use either an electric heater or a wood-burning stove as the heat source, with a heater guard included to protect bathers. If you go 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 Wi-Fi controller, prices shown on the selector.
How many bathers does it hold?
Up to four. The interior measures 63 inches long by 77 inches in diameter, and the curved Thermo-Aspen benches with the premium arched backrest give each person real lumbar support. Knot-free, silky-smooth seating surfaces keep long sessions comfortable for bathers of every size.
How does ventilation work?
Intake and exhaust air vents keep fresh air moving through the room while retaining warmth, and with a wood-burning stove installed they help ensure smoke is carried outdoors. Dual floor drains handle water from steam and cleanup, and the vents dry the interior between sessions so moisture never lingers in the wood.
Is this something I can build myself?
Yes, it is engineered for one-day installation with two people. The kit includes full-length 1.65-inch Thermo-Spruce staves, the half-moon rear window, the tempered bronze glass door, stainless steel bands, spruce cradles and fascia boards, a fastener kit, two extra staves, paraffin oil, and step-by-step instructions covering the whole assembly.
Does the roof need any extra work?
No, the black shingle roof kit installs during assembly for a weather-tight top, with a drip edge that manages rainwater runoff. The shingles also help insulate the barrel and keep warm air inside. There is nothing to add afterward, the roof is finished the day the sauna goes together.
How durable is the wood outdoors?
The Thermo-Spruce staves and Thermo-Aspen interior last up to twice as long as traditional cedar, resist the effects of weather, and hold their shape through heating cycles. Paraffin oil is included for upkeep. You can see the material across the rest of our outdoor sauna collection.
