SaunaLife G11B: a barrel sauna with a lounge and furnished porch
The SaunaLife G11B is an outdoor barrel sauna kit for eight people. Alongside the sauna is an equally sized lounge where you can change clothes or sit between sessions. A front porch adds benches and a table, while a round front window brings in daylight. The B version includes black exterior paint for you to brush on yourself. Allow 159.4 inches of width and 118.1 inches of depth in your yard. The exterior is thermo spruce, meaning spruce baked in a kiln to resist moisture and rot. It can last up to twice as long as cedar.
Inside, L shaped benches provide upper and lower seating, and a bronze tinted glass door separates the sauna from the lounge. The roof shingles and an extra protective layer underneath come in the kit. Delivery requires a forklift or crane for unloading from the flatbed truck. The heater is sold separately, so choose one of the 3 electric heater packages on the page, from 9.6 to 10.5 kW, each with its control and stones. Prefer a cube shape? See the SaunaLife CL12GCPB cube suite with a dressing room. The SaunaLife G11B ships from My Cozy Outdoors by flat rate freight with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does the B in the model name mean, and do I have to paint it myself?
The B means the SaunaLife G11B includes three containers of black exterior paint, and yes, you brush it on yourself after assembly. Follow the paint manual on the Manual tab and apply it only outside, never inside the hot room. The finish expands and contracts with the weather and will need fresh coats over the years to stay black.
Does this sauna come with a heater?
No, the heater is sold separately. The Select Heater add-on on this page offers three electric packages from 9.6 to 10.5 kW, each with its control and stones. Choose one when ordering or buy one later, with a higher kW option for a colder climate.
What electrical work does it need?
Your setup depends on your property and heater choice, so have a licensed electrician check the requirements in the heater's manual. Every package on this page needs its own hardwired 240 volt circuit, with no shared dryer, hot tub, or EV circuit, plug-in connection, or extension cord. Outdoor runs need buried conduit and a weatherproof disconnect.
What do I put under it? Can it sit on grass or on my deck?
No to bare grass or soil, and a deck works only if it is built to carry the weight. Your site needs a firm, flat, level base, such as compacted gravel topped with pavers, a concrete slab, or a suitable deck. The Specifications tab lists a shipping weight of 3,196 pounds, and an uneven base can leave staves misaligned and the door unable to latch.
How long does it take to assemble, and how many people do I need?
Plan on two people and about two days, based on SaunaLife's cabin kit assembly rating. The pieces are numbered, and the instructions are on the Manual tab. First-time builders often need longer, and the electrician's visit takes a separate day.
Can it stay outside all winter?
Yes, it is built for year-round outdoor use. In freezing weather, heating often takes 45 to 90 minutes instead of 30 to 45 minutes. Keep the vents clear.
How is it delivered?
It arrives on a flatbed truck by appointment. You need a forklift or crane to unload it because the driver does not unload it for you. Inspect the shipment before signing and note any damage on the receipt.
What is thermo spruce, and how do I look after the outside?
Thermo spruce is Nordic spruce heat treated with steam in a kiln, which reduces moisture absorption and movement and helps it last up to twice as long as cedar outdoors. It has a mild toasted smell and no resin, and bare wood turns silver gray over time. On this model, maintain the black exterior paint with fresh coats over the years.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
It depends on your town and HOA, so check locally before ordering. The dedicated 240 volt circuit almost always needs an electrical permit, and towns that exempt small accessory buildings from building permits can still require setbacks. Your HOA may have separate approval rules.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent
MP
Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10
G
Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
