SL-MODELEE8G
Imagine stepping into your own backyard sanctuary where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to elevate your wellness experience—literally. The Ergo Elegance EE8G Barrel Sauna by SaunaLife redefines what comfort means in a barrel sauna, featuring an innovative raised bench design that positions you higher in the warmth, where heat naturally gathers and envelops you in its most nurturing embrace.
This isn't just another outdoor sauna. It's a statement in ergonomic engineering, where SaunaLife's sauna enthusiasts have solved one of the most overlooked challenges in barrel sauna design: seating position. While traditional barrel saunas place you low in the cooler air zones, the EE8G elevates you approximately 30 inches above the floor, positioning your body in a more optimal thermal layer where the warmth is richer and most consistent. Integrated footrests running the full length of each bench provide graceful entry to your elevated perch, making the experience as elegant as it is comfortable.
Picture yourself reclining on silky-smooth Thermo-Aspen benches, your back supported by the generous arched backrest, natural light streaming through the expansive 8mm tempered glass facade, and the world outside visible yet feeling wonderfully distant. Whether you're seeking solitary restoration or sharing the experience with family and friends—accommodating up to six people—this sauna creates moments that linger in your memory long after the heat fades.
At an impressive 7 feet 7 inches in overall diameter, the EE8G offers genuine standing room—no ducking, no crouching, just effortless movement throughout the space. This generous diameter allows for the kind of interior comfort typically found only in custom-built cabin saunas, all within the classic, space-efficient barrel design.
The 6-foot 7-inch overall length provides ample room in the interior for up to six bathers without feeling cramped, making this the ideal choice for families who sauna together or those who love hosting intimate wellness gatherings in their backyard retreat.
Here's where the EE8G truly distinguishes itself. Unlike conventional barrel saunas where you sit closer to the floor in cooler zones, these elevated benches place you 30.3 inches high—positioning your body closer to the spot where rising heat creates the most enveloping, therapeutic warmth.
The thoughtfully designed footrests, measuring 8.27 inches deep, run the full length of each bench and provide a natural stepping platform to access your raised seat. This elegant solution not only makes entry graceful and secure but also adds a functional element that enhances the overall bathing experience. Once settled, the 20.48-inch bench depth offers luxurious space to recline fully or sit upright in comfort and quiet stillness.
Every curve of the contoured Scandinavian-designed bench cradles your body, while the arched backrest provides true lumbar support for all body types. This is ergonomics at its finest—where form and function merge to create comfort that must be experienced to be believed.
Slide your hand across the Thermo-Aspen seating and feel wood that has been transformed by heat and steam into something extraordinary. This knot-free wood, 50% thicker than what you'll find in lesser saunas, creates a surface that's silky against your skin and perfectly calibrated for sauna use—warm enough to comfort, never too hot to touch.
The exterior tells an equally compelling story. Full-length Thermo-Spruce staves, an industry-leading 1.65 inches thick, form the barrel's robust shell. This isn't ordinary spruce; it's been naturally enhanced through pressurized heat and steam treatment, creating wood that can last up to twice as long as cedar while delivering exceptional thermal resistance. Each board maintains its dimensional stability through countless heat cycles and weather changes, making this sauna as enduring as it is beautiful. Plus the heat treatment increases resistance to moisture, decay, and insects.
These substantial staves don't just look impressive—they create a superior thermal envelope that holds heat efficiently, reducing energy consumption while maintaining the temperatures that define an authentic sauna experience. This is wood that ages gracefully—developing character, not compromise.
Superior engineering transforms this barrel sauna from a backyard amenity into a year-round wellness sanctuary. Industry-leading stainless-steel barrel bands—1-7/8 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick—compress and secure the massive staves with unwavering strength, maintaining structural integrity through every temperature swing and seasonal change.
The watertight shingle kit with integrated drip rails isn't just attractive; it's your sauna's first line of defense against the elements. Rainwater is guided away with precision, keeping the interior pristine and bathers comfortable regardless of weather conditions outside.
SaunaLife embraces the authentic sauna tradition of water-on-rocks with confidence, knowing the EE8G is engineered to thrive with moisture. Dual floor drains—one positioned conveniently under the heater for traditional löyly and a second near the entrance for any water tracked in from cold plunge sessions—ensure efficient drainage and maintain a clean, dry floor surface.
Integrated ventilation optimizes air circulation, drawing in fresh air while allowing stale air to escape naturally, creating the kind of breathing atmosphere that defines premium sauna experiences.
The moment you approach your EE8G, its beauty is undeniable. But step inside at dusk or after dark, and the experience transforms. The included Wi-Fi app-based LED lighting system, featuring elegant dotless fixtures that are heat and water-certified (IP67), casts an even, uninterrupted glow that highlights the natural wood grain and creates an ambiance that soothes the soul.
Control the lighting infinitely through your smartphone or use the included handheld remote for simple on/off/dim operation. The technology disappears into the background while the effect—warm, inviting light that never intrudes—takes center stage.
Optional E SCONCE+ Package adds two striking outdoor LED wall sconces flanking your entrance along with a second interior light bar for enhanced illumination. For those seeking to add another sensory dimension to their sauna ritual, the E MOOD Chromotherapy Lighting Package unlocks an infinite spectrum of colors to complement your mood and enhance your wellness journey. Ask us about these options if interested.
The expansive 8mm tempered glass front wall does more than flood the interior with natural light—it frames your outdoor space like a living artwork. Whether your sauna overlooks a garden, forest, lake, or mountain vista, this panoramic window keeps you connected to the natural world while you're enveloped in warmth. Watch the seasons change, observe wildlife, track the movement of clouds and stars—all from the comfort of your personal sanctuary.
Your EE8G arrives carefully packaged and crated, delivered curbside to your property. Clear, detailed instructions guide skilled DIY enthusiasts through assembly, or you can entrust installation to a contractor, handyman, or carpenter for a seamless setup. Either way, the result is a sauna that looks and performs like it was custom-built for your space, ready to become the centerpiece of your outdoor wellness routine.
SaunaLife includes two extra Thermo-Spruce staves to ensure installation success, along with all necessary fasteners, barrel bands, shingle kit, paraffin oil for wood treatment, and comprehensive installation instructions.
