SaunaLife E7WB: a barrel sauna with a half moon rear window
The SaunaLife E7WB is a four person outdoor barrel sauna kit. A wide half moon window in the back wall gives you a view outside while you sit. The B version includes black exterior sauna paint that you brush on yourself. It takes up 81 by 70.9 inches of yard or patio space. Inside, the curved bench and arched backrest support you as you sit. White LED light bars come with the kit, along with a handheld remote and an app for controlling them.
The heater is sold separately, so choose one of the 6 electric heater packages on the page, from 6 to 9 kW, each with its control and stones. You can also add a Kolo bucket and ladle in black or white, wood care products, a thermometer, or a hygrometer to measure humidity. Need more room with the same rear window?

Barrel Sauna Collection
Cube-Series Saunas
Premium materials are evident throughout the Cube-Series lineup. The exterior is built from durable, full-length Thermo-Spruce staves that have been organically thermally enhanced, making them stronger, more dimensionally stable, and naturally resistant to decay and pests without chemical treatment. A complete shingle kit with drip rails ensures effective water management. The bronze-tinted 8mm tempered glass front door is both a design statement and a safety feature.
The CL3G specifically uses 42mm Thermo-Spruce staves for the side walls and 28mm panels for the front and back, with stainless steel barrel bands that cinch the structure together without exposed fasteners- the same joinery approach used across SaunaLife’s broader CL-series lineup. The kit includes foundation cradles, so the sauna sits level on a gravel pad, pavers, or a small concrete slab without requiring a poured perimeter foundation.
Cube Series Collection
SaunaLife Wood-Burning Hot Tubs

FAQ
What does the B in the model name mean, and do I have to paint it myself?
The B means the SaunaLife E7WB comes with two containers of black exterior sauna paint, and yes, you brush it on yourself after assembly. Follow the paint manual on the Manual tab and apply it only outside, never inside the hot room. The paint expands and contracts with the weather and will need a fresh coat over the years to stay black.
Does this barrel come with a heater?
No, a heater is not included. The Select Heater add on on this page offers six electric packages from 6 to 9 kW, each with controls and stones, so you can choose one when ordering or buy one later. Choose a higher kW option from the list for a colder climate.
What electrical work does it need?
Your setup depends on your property and heater choice, but every package needs its own dedicated 240 volt circuit, hardwired by a licensed electrician using the heater manual to size the breaker and wire. These heaters cannot plug in, use extension cords, or share a dryer, hot tub, or EV circuit. Have your electrician plan buried conduit and a weatherproof disconnect for outdoor runs, plus a weatherproof box you provide for the LED power unit outside the hot room.
Will my feet be cold on the bench?
Your feet will be in cooler air than your shoulders because the barrel has one bench level. Its 77.2 inch interior diameter and intake and exhaust vents help address that temperature difference. A slightly larger heater package can reduce the gap further.
Will it leak in the rain?
The included black shingle roof and drip edge rail protect against rain seeping through the stave seams. Two floor drains let water escape. Small gaps between staves in dry weather close when the room heats.
Do I have to tighten the bands, and are gaps between the staves normal?
Yes, retighten the stainless steel bands after the first few weeks and check them each season. Hairline gaps are normal as the staves shrink in dry or cold air and swell when heated, so do not caulk them. Two spare staves come in the kit.
What do I put under it?
The right base depends on your property: use firm, flat, level compacted gravel topped with pavers, a concrete slab, or a deck built to carry the weight. The sauna weighs 1,235 pounds, and the Specifications tab also lists its shipping weight. Avoid bare grass or soil because they hold moisture against the wood, and an uneven base can leave staves misaligned and the door unable to latch.
How long does assembly take?
About one day with two people is SaunaLife's estimate for assembling the cradles, staves, bands, door, and shingle roof. First timers often need longer. Plan the electrician's visit for a separate day.
Can it stay outside all winter?
Yes, the SaunaLife E7WB is built for year round outdoor use. In freezing weather, heating often takes 45 to 90 minutes instead of 30 to 45 minutes. Keep the vents clear.
How is it delivered?
It arrives by freight truck on a wooden pallet, with curbside delivery by appointment. The driver lowers the pallet to the ground, so arrange two or three people to carry the pieces to your assembly spot. Inspect the crate before signing and note any damage on the receipt.
