Shipping & Delivery Information

Free Delivery Damage Insurance Included With Purchase

 Curbside Delivery ships via Freight to the 48 contiguous states. The freight carrier will contact you 24 to 48 hours prior to delivery to set a delivery day and time Monday-Friday, with a 4-hour open window.

      They won’t deliver without speaking to you first. **Shipping times are only approximate, and can change depending on environmental conditions, transit issues, and carrier’s availability. Last minute appointments can occur, and it’s out of our hands since the delivery process is managed by the carrier’s. The sauna will be delivered in 1 box or more, depending on the model. All boxes will be strapped to a pallet. All saunas are delivered in a 53-foot semi-truck with a single driver, who will unload the pallet to your curbside or driveway only. Any delivery questions or issues (remote areas, long driveways, large and low hanging trees, apartment complex, stairs, etc.) should be addressed with us prior to shipping your sauna.

        Once the driver has unloaded the sauna, we ask that you immediately inspect the boxes for any damage. Please indicate any minor scratches, indentations, or scuff marks to the outside of the boxes on the delivery receipt. You do not need to open the boxes to inspect the sauna. The freight company will deliver your sauna to a carport or first-floor entryway. Please check the box dimensions and ensure it will fit through your doorway. Assembly on these saunas are surprisingly easy and can take between 30-45 minutes, depending on the sauna. Assembly instructions are included with the saunas.

Warranty Information

SAUNA LIFE SAUNA LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Sauna Life extends this Limited Warranty solely to the original retail consumer purchaser of any Sauna Life sauna purchased from one of its authorized resellers.

LIMITED LIFETIME SAUNA WARRANTY
Sauna Life warrants that the Sauna Life sauna shall be free from defects in workmanship under normal conditions of use and service for the lifetime of the sauna for residential applications after delivery to the original retail purchaser. This warranty is limited to making good any factory assembled component which
in the judgment of Sauna Life is deemed defective in workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal material wear, natural weathering of the lumber, or installation or delivery of components and applies only to the original retail purchaser.
WARRANTY PERFORMANCE
For any warranty service, Sauna Life reserves the right to choose, at its option, repair of the problem or a replacement of the defective part. Sauna Life reserves the right to substitute a part or component of equivalent value, either new or factory reconditioned, and any such repair or replacement shall assume as its warranty only the remaining portion of the warranty on the original product. In the event Sauna Life chooses to repair any malfunction or defect covered by this warranty, a return authorization will be issued, and the component will be returned prepaid freight to Sauna Life for repair of the defect. Sauna Life will then ship the component back the original retail purchaser upon completion of the repair. Prior to any return, contact Sauna Life at: Sauna Life, 511 Glenn Avenue, Wheeling, Illinois 60090, telephone number: (800) 957-2862, for packaging and shipping instructions and a return authorization number. In addition, Sauna Life will require photographs of any defect and reserves the right to inspect or designate an agent to inspect any part that is claimed to be defective and covered by this warranty. Labor charges and related
expenses for removal, installation, or replacement of the sauna or its components are not covered under this warranty. Normal wear and tear, cosmetic issues or changes to individual pieces of lumber due to natural aging and weathering are not covered. Sauna heaters and added components are not covered by this warranty.

ACTS INVALIDATING WARRANTY
This warranty is void if the Sauna Life sauna has been subject to alteration, misuse or abuse, commercial use, or if any repairs on the sauna are attempted by anyone other than an authorized representative of Sauna Life. Alteration shall include, but is not limited to, deviation from the original assembly instructions, component change, or the addition of any non-approved device or heating system, which contributes to a component or unit failure, or unsafe operating system. Use of the sauna in an application for which it is not designed will void this warranty. This includes, but is not limited to, damage caused by operation above safe sauna operating temperatures, damage caused by added components, damage to the sauna’s surface caused by harsh chemicals, damage caused by movement of the product, and damage caused by acts of God.

DISCLAIMERS
Except as expressly provided above, Sauna Life makes no other representation or warranty, express or implied, either in fact or operation of law, statute, or otherwise, and Sauna Life specifically disclaims any and all implied or statutory warranties, including warranties or merchantability and of fitness for a particular
purpose. Sauna Life shall not be liable for loss of use of the Sauna Life sauna or other incidental or consequential costs, expenses, or damage, which may include but are not limited to, the removal of or reinstallation of a wall, deck or other fixture, water leakage, costs of shipping or packaging, applicable taxes, or the payment of any costs or expenses of disassembly, removal, or reinstallation of the product or any part. Your rights may vary from state to state. Under no circumstances shall Sauna Life or its representatives be held liable for injury to any person or damage to any property, however arising, even if caused by the Sauna Life Sauna or its representatives’ negligence. No distributor, salesperson, dealer, retailer, or other representative of Sauna Life has the authority to alter or change these warranties either orally or in writing.

Outdoor Barrel Sauna

SaunaLife E8 6-Person ERGO Series Barrel Sauna

Six is the top of the capacity rating in the standard ERGO line, and the E8 is the barrel that carries it. SaunaLife gets there by stretching the cabin to 78-1/2 inches of interior length on the same 77-inch barrel diameter the E6 and E7 use.

Configuration is plain: a tempered bronze glass door in a spruce front wall, an unbroken spruce wall at the back. The shell is Thermo-Spruce in full-length staves 1.65 inches thick, banded in stainless steel and roofed with a black shingle kit. Seating is 1.1-inch Thermo-Aspen with no knots, 17.8 inches deep. One spec does move away from the smaller cabins — the LED light bar draws 18.69W here against 11.32W on the E6 and E7.

The Build

The Six-Bather Spec Sheet

Four lines carry the E8: how long the cabin runs, what the barrel is cut from, what you sit on, and the light bar SaunaLife specifies at almost double the wattage of the shorter models.

📏
78-1/2 Inches, Front To Back
Interior length is 78-1/2 inches across a 77-inch barrel diameter, wrapped in an 87-inch exterior. That is the longest cabin SaunaLife builds on the 77-inch ERGO barrel, and it is what takes the rating to six bathers.
Rated For 6 Bathers
💡
An 18.69W Light Bar
The E8 lighting package is specified at 18.69W, where the E6 and E7 sit at 11.32W. Same architecture behind it: 120VAC in, 24VDC out of a 90W supply and driver, Wi-Fi app control and a wireless handheld remote.
24VDC · IP67 · 18.69W
🌲
Staves 87 Inches Long
Every stave runs the full 87-inch length of the barrel at 1.65 inches of Thermo-Spruce. Stainless steel bands pull the circle closed, spruce cradles carry it off the ground, and two spare staves travel in the crate.
Stave Thickness 1.65"
🪑
17.8 Inches Of Bench Depth
Bench tops and backrests are Thermo-Aspen at 1.1 inches, specified with no knots on either surface. The seat depth is 17.8 inches, held across the full length of the cabin.
1.1" Thermo-Aspen

Why Athletes Choose This

A Closer Look At The E8

Interior Length

Where The Sixth Bather Fits

With the front removed, the cabin reads as one long run of bench over a slatted lower level. The wall the bench follows is 78-1/2 inches of it — twelve and a half inches more than the four-person E7 on an identical 77-inch barrel, which is the whole argument for stepping up.

  • Interior 78-1/2"L × 77" diameter
  • Bench depth 17.8"
  • Bench tops 1.1" Thermo-Aspen, no knots
  • Backrest 1.1" Thermo-Aspen, no knots

From The Bench

The Doorway Is The Opening

Sat inside, the view out of an E8 comes through one aperture: the door. It is tempered bronze glass at 5/16 inch, hung in a spruce front wall, and it is the only glazed panel in the kit. Air intake and exhaust vents handle the airflow either side of it.

  • Tempered bronze glass door, 5/16" glass
  • Spruce front wall around the door frame
  • Air intake and exhaust vents included
  • White LED light bar at 18.69W
Bronze Glass Vents Included

Rear Wall

Nothing To Look Out Of Behind You

Straight on from the back, the E8 is a spruce disc broken only by two round vents. Siting gets easier for it. A hedge, a boundary fence or the side of a garage can sit close behind the barrel with nothing lost, and the two glazed variants of this cabin exist for owners who want the opposite.

  • Solid rear wall, no rear glazing
  • Air intake and exhaust vents included
  • E8W adds a panoramic half-moon rear window
  • E8G adds a full front glass view

Eighty-Seven Inches In Profile

In side elevation the E8 is 87 inches long and 81 inches across the outside. The black shingle kit covers the top arc, spruce fascia boards finish the roof edges, stainless bands cross the staves at intervals, and spruce cradles take the load at each end.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Six bathers. Interior dimensions are 78-1/2" long by 77" in diameter, with a bench depth of 17.8". Bench tops and backrests are Thermo-Aspen at 1.1" thick, specified with no knots.
No to both. The E8 is the base configuration of this cabin: a tempered bronze glass door set in a spruce front wall, and a solid rear wall behind the bench. SaunaLife builds the same 78-1/2" shell in two glazed versions — the E8G with a full front glass view, and the E8W with a panoramic half-moon rear window.
It is not. No heater appears anywhere in SaunaLife's included items list for the E8. The crate holds the barrel kit — full-length Thermo-Spruce staves (1.65" thick), Thermo-Aspen benches (1.1" tops, no knots), Thermo-Aspen backrest (1.1" rests, no knots), a tempered bronze glass door, stainless steel barrel bands, a black roof shingle kit, spruce cradles, spruce fascia boards, air intake and exhaust vents, two extra staves, a fastener kit, a 16.9 oz (500ml) bottle of paraffin oil and installation instructions — plus the lighting kit: one white LED light bar, Wi-Fi app-based operation, a wireless handheld remote and mounting cradle, a 90W power supply, a driver, a 30' light cable, three articulating mounting clips and three flush clips. Heater packages are offered separately on this page. You will find them above the Add to Cart button; pick the one whose ft³ range covers the interior volume of this cabin.
Barrel material is Thermo-Spruce, cut as staves 1.65 inches thick that run the whole 87-inch length of the shell. Stainless steel bands hold the circle under compression, spruce cradles keep the barrel off the pad, and the roof arc is covered by a black shingle kit with spruce fascia boards at the edges. Two spare staves, a fastener kit and a 16.9 oz bottle of paraffin oil for finishing the wood ship with it.
Assembled, the E8 occupies 87" of length and 81" of width. It arrives in a crate measuring 88"L × 44"W × 43"H at a shipping weight of 1,345 lbs. Pour or level the pad to the assembled footprint, then walk the access route with the crate dimensions in hand.
Free curbside delivery via freight to the 48 contiguous states, with free delivery damage insurance included. The freight carrier contacts you 24 to 48 hours ahead to set a day and time Monday through Friday inside a 4-hour window, and will not deliver without speaking to you first. The sauna arrives strapped to a pallet on a 53-foot semi-truck with a single driver, who unloads to your curbside or driveway only. Raise anything unusual about your access — long driveway, low branches, stairs, apartment complex — with us before the sauna ships. When the driver unloads, inspect the boxes and note any scratches, dents, or scuff marks on the delivery receipt. You do not need to open the boxes to do that.
240V for the sauna heater and 120V for the interior and exterior lights. Because no heater ships with the E8, confirm the exact circuit rating against the heater you select. Sauna heater wiring should be run by a licensed electrician.
SaunaLife publishes the E8 light bar at 18.69W, where the two shorter cabins are listed at 11.32W. Everything else in the package matches: one white LED light bar, a 90W supply and driver taking 120VAC in and putting out 24VDC, Wi-Fi app control plus a wireless handheld remote and cradle, a 30' cable on IP67 twist-lock 2-pin connectors, an IP67 rating, six mounting clips (three articulating, three flush), and UL, CE and FCC certification.
SaunaLife covers the sauna with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in workmanship under normal conditions of use and service, for the lifetime of the sauna in residential applications. It extends to the original retail purchaser buying from an authorized reseller, and Recovery For Athletes is an authorized SaunaLife dealer. The warranty covers factory-assembled components SaunaLife judges defective in workmanship. It does not cover normal material wear, natural weathering of the lumber, or installation and delivery of components. Full terms are in the Warranty tab.
They are, and they get there differently. The E8 is 78-1/2" long on a 77" barrel, with a 17.8" bench depth, 5/16" glass and a spruce front wall. The EE8G is 71" long on an 87" barrel — a shorter cabin in a wider one — with a 19.8" bench depth, 8mm glass, a tempered bronze front glass, black-painted cradles and fascia, and a Floor Kit in the crate. Footprints differ too: 87" × 81" for the E8 against 79" × 91" for the EE8G, at 1,345 lbs and 1,763 lbs respectively.
