Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of a barrel sauna?
Barrel saunas are incredibly efficient. Their cylindrical shape allows air to circulate and heat up more quickly and evenly than in a square room, reducing energy usage. They are also structurally robust and shed water naturally, making them perfect for the outdoors. You can learn more in our guide to the best barrel saunas.
How many people can comfortably use the Model E7G?
The SaunaLife E7G is designed to comfortably accommodate up to four adults. Its spacious benches and generous interior height ensure everyone has room to relax. If you need more space, we also offer a range of 6-person saunas.
Is a special foundation required for this sauna?
A special concrete foundation is not required. However, the sauna must be placed on a solid, level, and stable surface. Suitable options include a deck, concrete patio, or a level area prepared with crushed stone or pavers.
Does this sauna include a heater?
The sauna heater is sold separately. This allows you to choose the perfect electric or wood-fired heater that fits your specific needs and preferences for an authentic sauna experience.
How does Thermo-Spruce compare to traditional Cedar?
Thermo-Spruce is thermally treated in a chemical-free process, which removes moisture and resins from the wood. This makes it significantly more durable, dimensionally stable, and resistant to rot than Cedar, often lasting up to twice as long in outdoor environments.
How much electricity will the sauna use?
The electricity usage depends on the heater you choose and your local utility rates. The included LED lighting system is very low voltage. For a detailed breakdown of potential costs, please read our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
Can I upgrade the lighting?
Yes! While a beautiful white LED light bar is included, you can enhance the ambiance with the optional SaunaLife E7 Sconce+ light set, which adds striking outdoor sconces and a second interior light.
