Comfort, Reinvented for Barrel Saunas

Many barrel saunas compromise comfort by shrinking the overall diameter to cut material costs, leading to low doorways, cramped seating angles, and limited headroom. The E6 avoids all of these pitfalls.

• 6’5” interior height eliminates the need to crouch and creates a spacious atmosphere.

• Sweeping barrel arc allows for a proper backrest curve that naturally supports your lumbar area.

• Thermo-Aspen benches, silky-smooth and knot-free, are crafted to cradle the body and maintain comfort through longer sessions.

Every detail of the seating design is intentionally shaped for real-world usability, supportive, breathable, and welcoming for most body types.

Built for Decades of Outdoor Use

Thermo-Spruce is one of the E6’s quiet superpowers. Naturally dimensionally stable and thermally modified for outdoor performance, it can last up to twice as long as Cedar, without chemicals.

• 1.65” thick full-length staves provide superior insulation and structural stability.

• Thick Thermo-Aspen benches (1.1” thick, 3.5" wide) outperform typical sauna bench construction.

• Weather-ready from day one, thanks to premium-grade materials chosen specifically for multi-season climates.

This is a sauna you can trust outdoors, whether you experience snow, heavy rain, or intense summer heat.

Smart Engineering That Makes Ownership Easier

The E6 may appear simple and elegant, but it hides a wealth of thoughtful innovations:

• Oversized stainless-steel barrel bands (1-7/8” wide, 1/8” thick) keep the structure tight and stable for years.

• Watertight shingle roofing system with drip edges ensures exceptional rain management.

• Dual floor drains—one beneath the heater and one near the door—manage water from sauna use, rinsing, snow melt, or cold-plunge carryover.

• Intuitive assembly makes installation accessible for DIYers with basic tools.

Every mechanism is designed to support longevity and reduce maintenance over time.

Lighting Designed to Transform the Experience

Lighting is one of the most underestimated elements of great sauna design. SaunaLife gives it the attention it deserves.

• Low-voltage, waterproof LED system safe for high-heat environments.

• Wi-Fi app control allows you to set the mood before you enter.

• Dotless LED design creates a soft, even glow rather than harsh points of light.

• Expandable system supports both interior and exterior lighting upgrades, including optional sconce lighting or full-spectrum ambiance packages.

From calming evening sessions to energizing morning resets, lighting creates the emotional feel of the sauna.

Natural Beauty, Inside and Out

SaunaLife works exclusively with premium Nordic Spruce for the exterior—chosen for its warm golden tone, clean grain, and classic Scandinavian character.

Inside, the benches and backrests are crafted from grade-A Thermo-Aspen, celebrated for:

• Its rich, warm color

• Its knot-free and smooth-touch finish

• Its comfort during long sessions

A bottle of natural paraffin oil is included to preserve and enhance the wood’s luster.

Crafted in Northern Europe for Sauna Purists

Like all SaunaLife models, the E6 is precision-built in Northern Europe, where sauna culture is deeply rooted and craftsmanship reflects generations of expertise. This heritage shows in every joint, curve, and finishing touch.

The result: an outdoor sauna that blends tradition with modern engineering to create a personal retreat you’ll enjoy for a lifetime.
