SaunaLife EE6G 4-Person Barrel Sauna with Back Wall Benches

Looking for a high-performing, modern barrel sauna with a massive view? One that was built for comfort, thermal performance, and long-term durability? The SaunaLife EE6G Barrel Sauna Kit delivers.

The EE6G is the less deep little brother to the groundbreaking EE8G – but with the same 91″ diameter, full glass front, and flat-back seating against the back wall. These trusted European layouts get your feet above the cool and avoid any awkward knee-to-knee encounters.

Both models use sustainably sourced Nordic Spruce that’s been naturally thermally modified to outlast cedar. It’s considerably thicker than the industry standard to improve insulation, rigidity, and longevity.

Simply, the SaunaLife EE6G is an epic barrel sauna ideal for backyards, decks, and vacation rentals.

Choose the natural wood EE6G kit or the EE6GB package with 2 cans of black SaunaShield exterior paint. You or your installer apply the black finish during assembly.

Overview

EE6G is truly the barrel sauna without the downsides!  Upper benches, room to stretch out, and seating against a flat back wall looking straight forward out the glass front wall.

This is the layout we’ve wanted to see in North America for a long time: SaunaLife EE6G Cutout  

Built for SaunaLife

That back bench is nearly 7′ long and super sturdy!  So Stretch Out, Lay Down, Sauna Party – Ergo Series barrels are here for it.  The EE6G includes a flat floor making it easy to get your footing. Whether a social space or a solo retreat, the front glass wall brings in nature and natural light year-round.

Built to Last

This durable barrel sauna is backed by a 5-year limited residential warranty, US-Based Tech Support, and Whatever-It-Takes customer service. How can they possibly offer that, you ask?
  • The included shingled roof with drip edge keeps water out and away.  Two floor drains and wall vents insure it will dry out after steamy sessions.
  • Thermally Modified wood is naturally enhanced (using heat and steam in a vacuum) to change the wood at a cellular level.  The resulting wood resists rot and can last 2x longer than cedar.
  • The Thermal Modification also creates a completely stable wood that doesn’t expand and contract – which causes gaps and failure over time in cheaper barrels.
  • The wood staves are an industry leading 1.65″ thick.
Holding it together are the widest and thickest stainless steel barrel sauna bands on the market.  It’s tempting to call this sauna overbuilt, every detail is truly chosen to last a lifetime.

“These Benches Are Something Else”

SaunaLife is becoming known for bench comfort, an overlooked factor in barrel saunas.  The Thermo-Spruce walls in this sauna are beautiful and rustic, but for the benches they stepped it up a notch. Clear Thermo-Aspen Benches and Backrests match the warmth of the walls but are soft, silky smooth, and knotless. And they didn’t just throw up some boards and call it a bench.  SaunaLife Ergo barrel saunas have ergonomic benches and backrests that are subtle but make a big difference.  There’s some curve in the bench but not so much that it’s uncomfortable to lay down. One of our favorite things about this sauna, is that the lower bench extends all the way to the back wall under the top bench.  If you find another way to support the top bench (ask us), the lower bench is nearly the size of a twin bed!  We’ve been told this sauna doubles as a pretty cool playhouse for kids and we can see why. bottom bench is huge!

Lights, Action

The “includes” list is long, but the free LED light kit is a huge value and really enhances the experience. The last thing you want in a sauna is flickering, buzzing, or melting lights. The kit includes a heat and moisture-resistant (IP67) dotless white LED light bar that can be adjusted over an app or hand-held remote. A compatible ceiling lighting fixture is available to add indirect overhead light and infinite color to dial in your mood.

Good news is I can use my sauna again! Have been using it 2-3 times a week consistently and amazing how dependent I’ve gotten to it!

We have just completed assembly so I don’t have feedback in terms of how the sauna performs as of yet but the quality of the sauna has actually exceeded my expectations. We couldn’t be happier with how it’s come out.

Great sauna!! A beautiful addition to our backyard. SO glad we went with the EE6G with a glass front, because I love watching them the birds and looking at the yard while I'm in there. We couldn't be happier with our purchase!

Ben and customer service has been great! Was informed thru the entire process and very responsive on requests or questions I've had. Just installed and got everything working so can leave further thoughts on the Sauna and Huum Drop heater, but from a credibility / customer satisfaction perspective - Sauna Marketplace and Ben were top-notch.

Thomas S.✓ Verified buyerReview on SaunaMarketplace.com
